3,flash twrp

4,flash sprint Rx2 kitkat rom.

5 reboot.

6,install ssu apk if you want to unlock.

Read op carefully all answers are there
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] niravbha:
I think I flashed 120mb version of developer rom , should I flash full version? will it have any impact?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Backup EFS very important and all data cuz you must do wipe everything.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] niravbha:
Tried just now getting binary is invalid via ODIN 3.10.6
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:

If you read all pages you'll see many people are successful with this method and all files are working.

[MENTION=7617599]Trex888[/MENTION]

I know your on a lot of threads about resets and stuff. So i ran across this code the other night, do you know what it does exactly? Compared to scrtn and such?

It was ##BRAND# or ##27263#

It gives below screenshot.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
This will factory reset your network and apn settings to default

it is actually "scrtn" .
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
I'm getting the same error as niravbha. trying with odin 3.10.6 and 3.11.1 and 3.12.5 and 3..09 and 1.86.

all gives MD5 hash error. binary invalid
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
have you figured out what happened? I'm running into the same error. tried downloading a few different files and different versions of odin already
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] niravbha:
Hi try renaming .md5 to .tar
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
hey. that did the trick. i'm still struggling w/ the unlocking part though.

After a whole day of flashing back and forth, tried all those available roms (rc2. dynamickat, bonsai - all 4.4.4). I can't seem to find 4.4.2 anywhere.

SSU.apk never asked for root and always say "sim unlocked" but device does not agree.

GalaxtRools always asked to root (or black screen - meaning not running) also gives "unlocked" but phone still the same after reboot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Once downgraded to dev firmware flash twrp then flash sprint RC2 kitkat rom given in op.

Once booted complete setup then install ssu.apk and grant root premission then hit unlock from ssu apk.

Reboot and you should have fully unlocked device.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
that's the thing. ssu.apk never asked me for root permission. not once! it just goes straight in, sometimes it gives "sim locked" sometimes "sim unlocked" right off the bat. then clicking "unlock" changes it it to "sim unlocked" but nothing changed system/service/signal wise for the t-mobile sim.

GalaxyTools asked for root every single time but does virtually nothing different.

Does it make any difference that my phone might have already been unlocked for international use? and still is activated, has service, on a Sprint MVNO?

And now I just took the OTA update to DQA1. I can't even odin twrp to make back up anymore. guess a few days wait is in order.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Looks like yoir device already unlocked.

Try this you will get reception

1, Flash 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 stock firmware odin

2, skip setup dont sign in

3,open dialer

4,dial ##72786# and hit yes

5 ,your device should reboot automatically if does not reboot manually.

6,after reboot let the phone rest for 3 minutes and you will get reception.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
1. done

2. not sure exactly how. not sign in is easy but not sure if one can skip entire setup process, I may try the sprint activation skipper.zip later tonight

3. done . I noticed phone didn't say invalid sim after flashing 5.1.1, it did with 6.0.1 and some 4.4.4

4. done. (I tried to select GSM/UTMS in the network menu before doing this and gets no signal)

5. reboot automatically

6. phone goes back to sprint service being active (CDMA 3G is always there regardless of sim). and switching back to gsm/utms gets no signal again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Did you try dial ##72786# and hit yes ?

Try this code in 5.5.1 or 6.0.1 and reboot if it not show invalid sim then definitely you will get reception.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
I did. on 5.1.1. it reboots automatically. it didn't show invalid sim before nor after dialing. but after reboot, it goes back to sprint cdma, not the gsm sim. changing back to gsm option gives no signal with a red x on the bars. :confused:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Must be on automatic mode not cdma or umts before dialing ##72786#.

Try different sim cards

It looks to me unlocked because not showing "unvalid sim"
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] linhnd2000:
Urgghhhh. now that I popped in a real working t-mo sim it shows "invalid sim". guess all that going back and forth was for nothing.

Really thank you for this helpful tip.

But when I get back to Marshmallow, my phone does not receive any signal at all even though I have my SIM inserted.

Can you give me a solution?

Thank you a thousand times.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toby6570:
I've tried this a few times now and all I get after flashing is: Kernal Panic Upload Mode

I really wish I could get back to kitkat as MM reboots all the time and I have to reflash it about every month or so to get it working somewhat good. I've had this problem since 5.1 I believe. I bought the phone in late 2014 and it had kitkat on it. I can't remember any problems on kitkat. If anybody could help it would be appreciated. Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Open dialer and dial ##72786# and hit yes.

It will reboot automatically your device and hopefully you will get signal.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:

Take a screenshot of about device and upload it so i can help understand the issue.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] issamibinu7:

Hi, When i try to add the developer firmware to Odin I get the error message "md5 error! Binary is invalid".

I have already tried with 4 different versions of Odin: 3.07, 3.09, 3.10.7, and 3.12.7 and I get the same error in all of them. I don't know what to do, please help me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Try this one

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767098816

Dont let the phone reboot after flash this file.

Go to download mode and flash twrp recovery backup efs first then follow the instructions given in Orignal post.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Bjzc100:
Ok, I was able to flash the developer firmware and twrp recovery, but now I get a screen that says "user fault. Upload mode" is this normal?

Also, I don't know how to flash the sprintxnoteRC2 rom because Odin doesn't take the zip file nor the extracted files. How did you flash this rom?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Flash the sprintxnoteRC2 from twrp recovery do not extract the zip file please read op .

Ignore any massage from developer firmware just follow instructions from twrp.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Bjzc100:
Ok, I was able to unlock it finally. Thank you so much!

Now, do you know if I can use this same SSU.apk to unlock a Sprint Note 5 N920P ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
No SSU APK works only on Android 4.4 kitkat.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] :
When you are doing these steps should I have already inserted the Sim I plan on using for service after unlock? Or does it matter if any Sim card is inserted while u do all this?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
You have to have sim inserted during the whole process.

After flash developer firmware dont let the phone reboot just flash twrp and proceed .because it can get your imei lost and screw your modem .

please backup your efs/modem partition first from twrp recovery before starting this method.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] :
Ok so did it all and still Sim locked.it never asks for root permission when I launch ssu.it alloslws u to unlock within the app then if u relaunch the app it says locked still. I'm gunna see if I can figure it out.thanks for your guide.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] :

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] :
I have the smaller version of the dev firmware file, does it go in the BL slot on Odin or AP?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
AP SLOT
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] :
That's what i did. Thank you just making sure I did it right. I'm using a program called Samsung tools pro and I keep getting a message that says access violation after clicking unlock..I thought maybe I had the dev firmware file in the wrong place and m bootloader was still the locked one from MM
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
I assume you are using a box For Samsung tools pro you just need to downgrade the modem only to kitkat not the bootloader. bootloader 5.1.1 will be fine.

it will work and unlock easily.

For odin only you need dev firmware.most of the people don't have these kind of box and knowledge to use Samsung tools pro that's why i made this guide so anyone can unlock it.:good:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Trex888:
Just flash stock 5.1 or 6.0 by odin then do factory reset from recovery the unlocking will stick permanently.

Just in case if you did not get sim working after upgrade to lollipop or marshmallow just dial ##72786# and press yes. The sim will work fine.

Man, you are awesome! Clear/easy instruction and it works! When I was on 5.1 my wifi and S-pen stopped working and I decided to upgrade to MM with idea that wifi and S-pen would be repaired somehow)) it did not happen and I was not able to find any ROM that work on my Sprint phone. My faith was down and suddenly I found this topic. wifi and S-pen still do not work))) so the issue, probably, in wifi antenna and maybe something wrong with S-pen - now, I know that it is not software issue.

Hi!

Quick question,

I was messing around with the bootloader a bit and managed to hex edit it so that it shows "owned by noahvt" when running fastboot oem device-info and it works fine, the phone still works as normal but there is one weird issue:

The fastboot flash command does not work anymore AT ALL, it just hangs forever... commands like fastboot boot still work fine for some reason and I don't know how changing a string could have messed this up. I tried it on different machines and no change. I also dd'd the original bootloader and then it worked fine again!

Any ideas?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talldarknfugly:
Guys, it's been a while since I used a note so please forgive me. This is a phone I gave my mom a few years back and it's now doing this weird boot loop where it boots all the way up but reboots within 20 seconds of the phone being usable. Repeats this over and over. It does however let me into system recovery when I hit power, home and vol up, giving me access to apply updates from external storage. The question now is, given the following profile: Kernel 3.4.0-4335446; Build LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC2, what is the quickest way to restore the phone to a usable state, without having to delete any data on it? I just want it to be able to stay on long enough to save all her data and we can get her a new phone. Even better if I don't have to ODIN and can just use the "apply updates from external storage" feature.

Thanks in advance!

I'm working on a custom tablet running Android 6.0.1

I have root access and have placed the app I'm making in the /system/priv-app/ directory and thus gaining access to system permissions.

This app needs to copy files from the sdcard partition to a flash drive (The tablet I'm working on has 2 Full USB ports) and then unmount the flash drive.

I've already got the file's being copied successfully, but I'm having trouble unmounting the flash drive.

From what I've read I need access to the android.os.storage.IMountService class.

How do I gain access to this class?

I've tried adding a classes-full-debug.jar file I found online and this did give me access to android.os.storage.IMountService but there were errors when trying to compile in Android Studio.

The main reason this tablet even exists is to create these reports and the people using these tablets are not very "Tech Savy"...

Simplifying the process to get the reports off the tablets is crucial, so any help at all would be amazing!

today I submitted an update for my movies app. I dont know if I can link the app, but basically it is similar to the more pupular MovieMate. My app allows the user to browse movies, read descriptions, add them to watch list and so on.

The update was rejected since according to the useless guys at google I'm violating intellectual property, while all the other movie apps on the play store apparently are ok. It frustrates me since I put in MONTHS of work for this app and got very few downloads in the first month. And now i cant even submit updates.

The data is fetched through TheMovieDatabase and I give them credits both in the app and in the store description. The API are explicitly saying that I'm ALLOWED to use their information for commercial purposes.

Now I want to appeal. What should I write to the google guys to get the update accepted?

Hi folks,

This is what happened to me:

-I installed another ROM to test it

-I restored my backup with TWRP

-Now my pin do not works to unlock the device at the lockscreen. Is accepted when is prompted for descrypt the phone but not for unlock the phone in the lockscreen.

If I reset the lockscreen with Cerberus or I delete the lockscreen data files in /data/system from TWRP, I can access my encrypted interal storage but I can't access my encrypted sdcard. With TWRP I can access to the sdcard, but encrypted files are unreadable. From the phone, the message "can't mount sdcard" is shown and sdcard remains unmounted.

I have lost the encrypted files in my sdcard? I don't understand well why if I restored a TWRP backup of DATA, SYSTEM and BOOT.

Thanks a lot in advice.

Hello! Me and a friend of mine just purchased the tmobile wings....i upgraded from the dash and him from the horrible SDA....well so far this is what we have done.

HTC Homescreen plugin + homescreen edit

Slide to UL (AC)

Iphone Window Theme

HTC Audiomanager

P Browser

TCPMP + Flash Video Software that allows utube among other sites -=)

Changed sliding keyboard sounds

Vtap (also allows utube, but tcpmp is the shat)

PSShtuXP

Icontacts

Pocket CM ( I don't have this anymore)

Overclocked to 247MHZ (not really sure what overclocking is, but hey most of you on here have done it, so why not)

We have both kept WM6 because it seems like Touch Flo still has editing, and i am attached to the microsoft voice sync program.

So all in all just making myself known on the forum, thanks again for turning my wing not only into a greater phone but now I want to call this isht a Tmobile Jet Wing.

I still don't understand some terms, don't know what flashing is, and wanted to know what other programs we could add to make our device function even better.

Is there a way to upgrade device storage? It seems to be my only concern. Thanks again.

Awesome. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask ... but please be sure to look through the forums first in order to answer most of your questions.

Flashing is installing a new operating system on your phone ... so think of it like taking Windows XP off of your computer, and installing Windows VISTA on your computer.

You should run the Quick Page Pool changer to get more device storage
