So.... with this N910V, I had to do the temp root to unlock the bootloader. Then flashed twrp and lineage 15.1 oreo

TWRP worked fine before, and even sometimes when phone froze and I had to pull battery it would boot into custom recovery.

Now for the life of me it will not boot into recovery, even with lineage "advanced restart" ticked and reboot into recovery, or using vol up,home,power.... it hangs at booting recovery.

I dont flash custom roms alot so usually have to research for days each time untill I re-learn everything I forgot

Your install instructions state...

"If you are on 5.1.1 you will need to upgrade your bootloader and reroot using this Guide.

If you have already upgraded to 6.0, unlocked your bootloader, and have TWRP installed, all you need to do is the following:

-Download the CQL1 modem upgrade to your pc

-Download the Rom to your internal or external sdcard

-Boot into recovery and factory reset your device

-Do not boot straight from recovery to download mode - download mode does not properly boot without doing the following

-Power off your device and pull your battery for 3-5 seconds (this will ensure that your device properly boots into download mode)

-Insert your battery and boot to download mode by holding vol. down + home button + power button at the same time

-Using Odin flash the CQL1 modem and once that completes, power off your device

-Now boot to recovery by holding vol. up + home button + power button

-Once you're in recovery go to advanced wipe and wipe everything but the internal and external sdcard (I always do this step twice)

-Then just go to install and flash the MODestRom zip file

-Boot time is about 7 to 10 minutes

-Enjoy!!"

So... I have twrp installed but its not booting to it.

im running lineage 15.1 but not rooted. Would the twrp I have be fine so long as i can figure out why its not booting to recovery anymore?

Or do i need to odin flash a twrp version thats compatible with the adroid 6.0 based rom im going to flash? Im not rooted either.

Sorry for asking so much....just looking for a little direction, thanks!

Thanks for keeping our Note 4s running smoothly! I am really looking forward to the extended battery version of the new kernel :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Try flashing TWRP again in Odin but this time turn off the auto reboot option in the Odin options. After it flashes and it says successful unplug the phone from your computer and pull the battery. Then try and boot into recovery with vol_up+home+power. Sometimes stock recovery will try to overwrite TWRP but that's usually when you first install it. The only other thing I can think of is that the recovery partition was corrupted in some way but either way this should fix it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Thanks for reminding me. I get sidetracked easily. :)

I'll have it posted in about an hour.

So I reflashed twrp with odin and recovery started working fine again.

Followed guide and factory reset, pulled bat and booted into DL , flashed cql1 modem, in recovery wiped everything but internal and sd card twice, installed MODest v11.

Everything is working fine except I have no wifi which I remember reading relies on the right bootloader which I guess I dont have. :(

What do I need to do now?

Thanks!

Also noticed rear camera wont focus nomatter what I try. Maybe its just time to get a new phone and relegate the trusty note 4 to the drawer
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Yeah that wifi issue is a bootloader problem. I think this post explains the procedure pretty well. Most of the files necessary can be found here. Keep in mind that this process needs internet to work so you'll need an active sim card and it will also delete everything on your (internal) sdcard as well.

The camera may be a combination of an incorrect bootloader and the kernel that's part of v11. I had been having some minor focusing issues and had just chalked it up to having an older phone, lens scratches, etc but with Flashpoint v5 I don't have that problem anymore. So at least some of the camera problems may be kernel related but I think the solution is just to flash the newer kernel after you've updated your bootloader and reflashed the rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] deezdrama:
Thanks so much for the fast reply!

I followed a combination of this guide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQoHApohbDk

and another one I found on youtube where I started with a stock n910v with locked bootloader and it was such a clusterf*** that I cant even remember all the steps I had to go through or what bootloader I used etc.

My camera always worked fine untill I flashed the oreo based rom

Im on it now....hopefully this will get it sorted out....thanks again!

edit.... would i need to flash the partial or full bootloader file? Also do i need to flash stock 5.1.1 and start there?

Im just confused as I already unlocked bootloader on 5.1.1 but then proceeded with the lineage 15.1 rom install, So now I dont know if I need to start all over on 5.1.1 stock or what.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
No, if you're bootloader unlocked on 5.1.1 then you're at the right starting point. The first step would be to flash the combination (aka hybrid) firmware.

These are the steps I took:

1. Power down, pull the battery for 3 seconds, then boot into Download Mode

2. Using Odin, flash the BPA1\CPD1 hybrid firmware

3. Once that's done flashing reboot to recovery and factory reset. Then reboot and let that firmware install

4. Once you've gotten past all the setup part you'll want to power off again and boot to download mode again

5. Using Odin, flash the CQI2 aboot and then reboot. From this point on the process is the same as before.

6. Enable developer options, turn on USB debugging and turn on "allow unknown sources" in the security settings.

7. At this point, you'll want to have your spare SD card in and go ahead and open a command window from the same location that you have the samsung_unlock_n4-fix file in. In my case it was in my download folder and the easiest way to do that is to open that window, hold down the shift button, then right click. You should see an option that says "open command window here" then click that to open.

8. Once you open the terminal enter this command: adb devices

9. Then this command: adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/

10. Then install kingroot and let it start rooting. Be sure to keep the terminal open and your phone connected.

11. Once kingroot starts the rooting process do not let the phone go to sleep. Just keep a finger on the screen.

12. When kingroot gets past 50 -60 percent, enter this command in the terminal: adb shell

13. If you enter adb shell and it gives an error or says your offline, just unplug the Usb from your phone and plug it right back in. Then enter the adb shell command

14. As soon as kingroot says you're rooted, enter this command in the terminal: su (You have to grant root permission on the phone and continue)

15. Then this command: cd /data/local/tmp/

16. Then this command: chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix

17. Then this command: ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix

18. Once the scripts starts it will ask you if you want to continue, just type out: yes

Then it will do it's thing, back up your bootloader, and then power your phone down when it's done.

19. Once powered down, PULL OUT YOUR SD CARD, and boot back into Download Mode

20. Using Odin, flash Twrp and immediately boot into recovery when Odin reboots your phone.

21. From this point you just flash your favorite rom, power back down, boot into Download Mode, flash the CQI2 modem with Odin and reboot.

22. Once everything loads back up you're back in business.

Steps 4 and 5 aren't really necessary but if you want to do that part too it won't hurt. The file is in the download tab at the top of the thread.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] deezdrama:
The .tar files are not showing up in odin now, arggggg. loosing my mind at this point. Ive tried odin 3.11, 3.13. Reboot to download, restart computer, moved the hybrid firmware, renamed it, re-downloaded it. None of the tar files will show up in odin even though they are right there where i point odin to open them from.

I give up. Buying an s8

kevintm78 you are great and your work and help are greatly appreciated! I just cant waste anymore days trying to get this 6yr old device to be stable. I wish I would of just left it on antique stock kitkat
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
For some reason hsbadr zips his tar.md5 files. Try unzipping it and you should see the hybrid firmware
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] deezdrama:
:silly: Wow im stupid lol

I use 7zip so theres no icon to identify them as being zipped and with all the extensions in the file name I didnt even think they might be zipped.

Going to give it another go now.

Only thing that im unsure of is the adb command prompts and kingroot.

I remember doing both of these before when i went from stock to lineage oreo but thats been months ago.

I vaguely remember bringing up a command prompt and entering the commands but cant remember if it was just a windows command prompt or seperate software...

Hopefully ill figure it out.

Thanks again man....your help here is top notch! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] deezdrama:
I had to use kingOroot as kingroot never works for me (didnt last time either)

The command prompt process took a couple tries to get it to stick but I had that problem the first time I did this as well.

Followed all the steps, removed the external sd card at that step per instructions but that sd card is now corrupt or something and the computer spazzes out when i plug it into the pc and it opens dozens of drive letters. Same thing happened with a 32gb sd card the first time i did all this to try lineage oreo. Is there anyway to save these sd cards?

All I have to do now is install rom and flash CQI2partial modem.

I had a good spare 4gb SD card.... moved modestrom11 to it and popped it in phone. Boot to twrp and when choosing where to install from it just says external sd has 0mb of information on them and wont even let me choose that as install location. Tried 2 different 4gb sd cards....

:(

In twrp it wont let me mount external sd....

I reformated the sd card to fat32 before copying modestrom11 zip to it

the twrp I flashed is the 3.0.2-0-trltevzw file that was listed for the guide, is there a new one i should flash?

so close...... yet so far.... lol

UPDATE.........

After ruining 2 sd cards I finally dug out an otg cable and found a usb thumbdrive and was able to install the rom that way. Dont know what the sd card issues were but had same problems the last time.

But....

Now im finally done and wifi and camera are working fine again. Ill run this rom for the rest of this phones life lol, the bootloader/root procedure with this phone is not something I want to do again lol.

Thanks again Kevin.... couldnt of done it without your help!

Is there a certain launcher I should use to change appearance?

Thanks again!

Hi, I was able to flash Flashpoint v3 on my 910T without any issue it has been running fine, but when I tried to use this one I got error saying not compatible with it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Oh shoot, my bad. I had forgotten all about the device check. If you want you can unzip the file and in the anykernel.sh change the do.devicecheck=1 to 0 or change device.name1=trltevzw to trltetmo (I think that's the tmobile device name). Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll get a fix for you, but it will be later tonight. I'm getting ready to go to work right now.

Thanks! Is there anything that you wish was included but isn't? I'm almost afraid to keep messing with it since it kind of suits my needs but I'm up for trying out anything.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jellypowered:
I tried the v5 (on 910T) and stuck at bios after flashing (modified according to the above post) and magisk, it hung on bios.

I’ll try again with just the kernel and report back.

Flashing just the kernel alone was a no go, went back to the unified beta :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Trinity3k86:
Thank you so much! I got tired of the lags from other custom roms and decided to go with something more stable. This rom is perfect for me! I do miss some of the extra features, like being able to kill an app with the back button, but the stability is worth it!

Installation steps

Is there a place that has the install steps laid out? because I'm confused about reading the main post. What things do I need to have and don't need to have? Ie flashpoint, magisk, CQI2 or CQL1, etc.

I already have my Phone rooted and TWRP installed with version 3.2.1-0 but I will upgrade that to the latest version which is 3.2.3-1. after I do that what would my next steps be... just install Modest Rom?

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Thanks a bunch

I will try this out next week when I don't need the phone for a day or so in case of issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Desidinova:
Thanks Kevin

I have lurked on XDA for many years, learning what I needed to know to root or install custom ROMs on my various phones, always getting the correct answers to the questions that I had, links to the proper files that were required and I always stood in awe of the knowledge of the members, all without registering...until now.

I finally registered for one simple reason. To thank you, Kevin, for this ROM. I bought my first Note 4 about 6 months ago, and went on a quest to find the "perfect" ROM, and I found it. This ROM has given me everything that I want, nothing I don't, and is rock solid to boot. I have also noticed the personal attention that you give to those posting questions. Very admirable.

So again, thanks Kevin, for taking the time to create such a great ROM and keeping a great phone alive. I'll be throwing you a few bucks, so have a beer/coffee/burger/etc on me. You certainly deserve it. Cheers.

[MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] - I just wanted to say one last thanks for all that you have done. Recently I moved on to the Note 9 but I'm missing some of the hardware bits (I prefer the Note 4's aspect ratio) and, of course, your ROM was probably the best stock rom (both in terms of the rom itself and its longevity) on any device I have owned (heh, not saying much, to be honest - I've only rooted/rom'd 4 of the 6 devices I've owned counting the Note 9 (haven't done the 9 or my current tablet yet).

I've run into an issue lately hopefully someone may be able to help with. It has to do with pictures. Photos or pictures I receive through my textra app come through blurry. However I can take pics, download pics, and send them clearly. I am using the latest build of textra. Only receiving them are blurry. Also, I have noticed times that I do not even receive sms. My phone will sometimes reset and I will receive up to 20 or so messages all at once. Not sure what the deal is, but I'm getting ready to factory reset and hope it sorts itself out.

Thank you for the ROM!!

I was hoping to find one as close to stock as possible and this is the one!! I've been using it for a few days already and it works great.

I get that, but it’s also way beyond EoL. Development has stalled. From a security standpoint, this should not be your daily driver device. Maybe as a secondary, backup, or tester. Even as a burner (one that swap into because you’re at the beach and don’t want to loose, damage, etc your good phone).

Please don't harsh my gig to hard core. lol.

I'm on 6.0.1 JasmineROM with unlocked boot loader and rooted. I'm wanting to give this rom a try, but am kinda confussed about the process. This is stated in the info section of the moddest rom. "ROM Firmware Required: CQI2"

But I also see that "If you've already upgraded your bootloader to CPD1 (MM 6.0.1) the only thing you need to upgrade is your modem. Using Odin, just place the modem file in the AP slot and boot your phone into download mode and flash.

CQL1 Modem Upgrade"

My question is this mainly. Do I just need to go to CQL1 modem and then I'm good to go on to ModdestRom?

And where it states this "ROM Firmware Required: CQI2" in rom information section in rom post, is that stating I need at least that rom to install modest rom?

Sorry if any of that is confusing. And I thank any and everyone for the help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zfk110:
Once you unlocked the bootloader, then you install TWRP, so far so good now install CQL1 using odin, at that point you have unlocked bootloader, TWRP and latest CQL1 modem, at that point follow this

Modest v11 experience

Hello all, Thank you [MENTION=5285430]kevintm78[/MENTION] for a great rom. I know this phone is getting on toward legacy....

However, I just fixed mine again from random hangs. I had flashed perhaps a year ago. My phone ran fine across that year with the overclocked 2.8Ghz 3.1 kernel and graphics overclocked up to 800. I think my phone across time became less stable on the overclock--perhaps the circuitry got tire, hot, etc. My phone would do random systemui restarts and hang and then reboot. Especially when using radios. Just started 2 weeks ago.

All items CQL1.

So I backed up and then wiped system, and data and flashed the v11 rom again. Still the same thing. Really?

Well, using the Flashpointv5.1 kernel solved my problems! My system is super stable and consistent again. I am also using Magisk 18.1 and also the xposed 87.3 unofficial module.

All is well. I am using TWRP 3.2.3.0 I think.

I have two additional versions of this phone in case something stops working.

All the best to everyone. Still a great phone. Oh BTW, I ordered the ravpower battery replacement and it works well.
