[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hi if anyone can help- I'm on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 after 2 Note 7's and a Note 3 before that on Biggin's so I've sorta been out of the root game. I want to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I am downloading the full firmware for the Note 4 from further back in this thread (N910VVRU2CPA1) and am currently on (N910VVRU2CPG2).

From what I understand, I need to do a factory reset, then go to Odin and flash the firmware. I have Odin 3.10.7 and am downloading the N910VVRU2CPA1 as we speak. I see 'hsbadr' firmwares in his thread and the PIT file TRLTE_USA_VZW.pit which I'm not sure is compatable pit file for the specific 5.1.1 firmware or the necessary pit file is included in the full firmware and can anyone tell me if these are the right steps?are these the right steps Any information would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

[MENTION=4504709]tjmethod[/MENTION] by chance how did you process go, did you manage to root and unlock bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
I bought the phone already with 6.0.1 on it and read that you cannot unlock/ root it with mm on it and can only be done after downgrading to 5.1.1 so I haven't done anything yet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudermatt:
I'm in the same boat...Coming from a n7. Bought a n4 on eBay...It's got 601. Want to root...Guess we need to downgrade....Is it possible?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinciebee:
Before you can start rooting, you'll need to be on 5.1.1 BPA1. If you're currently on 6.0.1, just download the BPA1 firmware from Sammobile, factory reset on 6.0.1, then flash BPA1 stock via Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hi thanks, I had called Samsung and talked to top tier tech support and was told that once the phone has been upgraded to 6.0.1., it cannot be downgraded. and that i need to search the rooting sites and try to find where someone has found a breach or workaround for unlocking the bootloader which will usually have a bounty but I dont know. top tier tech support has always been good. Do you think thats false it cannot be downgraded?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinciebee:
It's definitely false, when I rooted my phone, I downgraded from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 without any issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
I will definately give it a go when I have the time, have you flashed a rom and if so which one, there must be some or some tweaks to get rid of the lag?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinciebee:
I'm currently using CM13 because of Xposed and overall stability, but there are newer roms out there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
I am a little confused as to whether I've found the right firmwares but I've found the firmwares here:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937

If I am downgrading to 5.1.1. which this phone was obviously on before, I don't know what this phone was on since it currently is on the PL1 build which are not one of the two 6.0.1. builds on this page. I don't even know if that matters.. Anyway, the two 5.1.1. builds are PA1 and OK3. Do you know where any other firmwares out there that might show my current one and the previous build that it came from?

Thanks-
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggy71:
You want the PA1. It's really easy. Just sounds more complicated then it is. I am using the PaulPizz rom. It is very stable, good battery life, and spen and sview work. If you need any help, let me know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Thanks bro I don't if I'll have time til this weekend to do this- Does this rom have tweaks to fix the aggravating galaxy lag? With a non rooted phone there's goin into recovery and deleting cache, DU speed and phone booster, cleaned but it's like they all have it- thanks again- lookin forward to rooting this damn thing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintm78:
Yeah they're out there but that thread hasn't been updated recently. Basically the order after pf3 is pg2, pj2, and then cpl1. The one you want, if your planning on rooting, is bpa1. Also, as far as your question in the op about the pit file, it should really only be used if absolutely necessary. It's in case your partitions have been corrupted for some reason and you need to repartition your device.

Edit- I was going to link to those other firmwares but they are buried in the thread that your already looking in. Either way they aren't necessary for you to unlock your bootloader, you can go straight from cpl1 to bpa1.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hey thanks for confirming all this. So all I need to download and install is the bpa1 firmware via Oden with the AP button I think- I've got a few different versions of Oden on my pc. It's been a while since I've flashed firmware on a phone but I remember it was easy. So just save my pictures, any files, etc. on the sd card, remove it, then do a factory reset or when I put the setting into usb download mode, and flash the firmware this will automatically factory reset the phone? Also earlier today Verizon has been trying to push an software upgrade. After I unlock the bootloader and install twrp then flash a rom, do I need to somehow disable the update notice. I remember having to do that once with another phone.

What rom are you on? Thanks again for the Info-

TJ
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintm78:
Yeah that all sounds spot on. I would definitely do the factory reset before you start, but other than that your good. To block the updates, you can uninstall the SDM apps. There are 2 of those and you'll need root to remove them, but you can disable them without root with that debloater tool. The rom I'm currently using is kind of work in progress. I have a couple stock based roms in the dev section, one is stock_plus that has a stock feel with some mods added and the other is Modest Rom that is got some grace apps added and system ui mods. You can find them here and here if you want to check them out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Awesome, I'm going to check those out but I forgot the biggest question of all... how to get rid of the Galaxy lag- is there a rom or tweak where this can be fixed since recovery cache delete and cleaning tools dont really do much?

Thanks again-
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintm78:
Custom kernels help a lot. The problem is it's kind of slim pickings for our specific model, but some of the international kernels work well too. Oscar kernel is made for the 910v so that's probably the most reliable but if your like me, I like to use a permissive kernel and Ram kernel is not a bad choice for that though it's not as feature rich.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
I really dont know the difference... from what I remember a kernel is the layer between the software and the hardware- a key component of the os. I'm guessing the permissive ones can be used for different roms or firmware? You can probably tell I really don't that much about the root game. The last time I flashed a firmware was on my note 3 after I bricked it. Then rerooted and got on to biggins rom which was great ut I never understood or learned how to use xposed. Anyway, I downloaded Modest Rom, PJ2 _STOCK .tar and am downloading cpl1_tar but I know that once I flash bpa1 firmware which puts the phone back on 5.1.1. I see your roms are 6.0.1 roms, after I flash the bpa1, will the bootloader be unlocked? If so can I then just flash the cpla1_tar or is that not a full firmware? or use one of the two 6.0.1 firmwares from where I found the cpa1? Are the kernels different from 6.0.1 and 5.1.1 and where to find the downloads?? I appreciate the tips especially coming from a develpoer and i'm happy to make a donation- I'm not sure how?

Thanks again!

Hey buddy, did you get it figured out? I broke my arm at work on Sunday and of course it's my right arm so I'm having some issues responding back on my note with one hand. I bet I've dropped this thing 20 times already.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Oh man that sucks- hopefully they gave you some good pain meds. Anyway, I havent taken th plunge yet- once I get on to 5.1.1 then twrp, I want to go on to 6.0.1 but am unsure as to what point the bootloader is unlocked or exactly what to do to upgrade to 6.0.1 once I crack the bl. I just dont want to go through the dreaded set up everything twice.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevintm78:
Haha! Yeah I did get some decent meds. Are you on 5.1.1 now? It's really not too bad of process and once you do it the first time, the second will be much easier. Just remember when you go to 6.0 there is a hybrid firmware you'll have to use to unlock on 6.0. The reason for the hybrid is because the exploit only works on lp, so it's a lp rom with an mm bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Ok I can unlock and get to 5.1.1. without a problem I'm sure. Can I skip that step of going to the bpa1 and unlock on the hybrid firmware since it's 5.1.1. to avoid setting up my phone twice?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjmethod:
Hey hows your arm doing?- was about to pull the trigger last night but wanted to make sure before I started

if I was mistaken the bpa1 firmware, since it didn't state "stock", I was thinking this was a modified firmware and that once I factory wiped and installed it I'd have an unlocked bootloader and be able to move on to supersu and twrp? I know I can downgrade the firmware to 5.1.1. but after watching a couple videos and reading official bootloader unlock, it gets very confusing. I created a folder on my desktop with all the files I will need, I'm just not attempting it until I know I can follow it to the end without an issue and wont take my phone into oblivion costing me hours and hours to un****.

So far I read the steps from the official bootloader unlock below but I found people had problems with kingroot and to go to kingoroot and on pc instead. I also read on other instruction once gaining temp root to use cf auto root but that is 4.4.4.

Download and install Kingroot 4.8.5

Download Root Checker from play store

Install ADB minimal onto a Windows PC

Download and install drivers for N4

Download TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/trltevzw/

Download Odin

Install Kingroot 4.8.5 (phone will reboot)

Verify root with root checker

Run the commands in the OP from the minimal ADB command prompt window

Wait for phone to reboot.

Re run the each command in the OP and WAIT for phone to restart.

Pull battery and SDCARD. Leave the sdcard out.

Start phone in download mode (volume down, home and power) and check for Mode: Developer. If you have reached this point you are good.

Flash TWRP 2.8.5 via Odin (put file in the AP slot)

Flash supersu from TWRP (reboot phone and enter recovery mode. hold power, vol up and home)

Enjoy root.

I also found that these are supposed to be the adb commands:

adb push unlock_n4 /data/local/tmp/

adb shell

su

cd /data/local/tmp/

chmod 777 unlock_n4

chown root.root unlock_n4

./unlock_n4

Am I checking into all this for nothing and that firmware will crack the bl?

You need to read the correct process. You are going to stock 5.1.1. Then unlock bootloader. That's where the exploit is..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITAdmin:
Hope you're feeling better with that arm!! It sucks not having all your wings to fly with. I've broken my left arm once and my right arm twice and I don't think i will ever fly straight again.

I'm having some of the same issues but I managed to get my N4 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 but I cannot get it to root. I worked on this phone for a good 18 hours trying it over and over and sometimes getting close but it seems to always lock up and not complete the process. When I run KingOroot or Kingroot, they say it did, but when I check to see if it actually is rooted, the root checker says it isn't? Very confusing indeed.

This is the file I flashed? N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar.md5 Is that correct?

I don't know what else to do?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

No, I wouldn't recommend downgrading using stock recovery. If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, try deleting the drivers and re-downloading them. Also try using a different USB cord and turning on USB debugging.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tararura:
First of all I want to thank all the members on different forums, who posted suggestions and files. I just read read and read for 3 days trying to make it work on my TYTN II. I finally did it and wanted to combine all the info in one post so lots of other members can benefit from it.

So here we go, please follow all the steps carefully and slowly….

1. Get “Garmi Mobile XT V4PPC” from mininova.

2. Remove any previous garmin installations completely from your ppc.

3. Download A. GarminMobileXTforPocketPcwithGPS10_4100wBeta.exe

B. GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_41040w.exe

4. From pc install A to ppc and DO NOT install or run on ppc when a window appears to do so.

5. From pc install B to ppc and install and run when window appears on ppc. When program runs , it will start looking for gps device. Cancel it, go to Settings then to About and write down your 10 digit Device ID.

6. Run GarmiMobile XT V4PPC key generator on pc and put your device id and generate SW key and Map Key ( Garmin city navigator nt 2008 ).

7. Open note pad. Copy and past both keys one by one and save them as SW.UNL and GMAPSUPP.UNL.

This is a critical point. In your windows explorer uncheck HIDE FILE EXTENSIONS. NOW MAKE SURE THAT BOTH FILES DO NOT HAVE txt EXTENSION AT THE END. THEY HAVE TO BE UNL FILES.

8. Transfer these UNL files to your ppc in Garmin folder.

9. Now run Garmin from your ppc, it should be able to detect your GPS now. You do not have to be outside at this point.

Installing the Maps.

1. Download Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2008 from piratesbay. Install on your computer and run. It will ask for the unlock code, put GNG55-L8WSA-S7YET-9U246-GJFQT.

2. That should unlock the mapsource. Select your maps to be transferred, save it on desktop on pc.

3. Name newely made map file GMAPSUPP.IMG ( no txt extensions ).

4. Delete GMAPSUPP.UNL and GMAPBMAP.IMG from your ppc in Garmin directory and load new GMAPSUPP.IMG from your pc to ppc.

That’s it guys you should be able to use the maps now.

Thanks once again to all the kind souls out there who made it possible.

Garmin Vs TomTom Vs iGuidance

How do you compare them especially on accuracy of routing and maps? Had used a friend's iGuidance 4 on X51v with WM6 briefly, I like its easy to use and the Text to Speech function but routing accuracy was poor in a lot of places since version 1.1. I have used TT6 for over a year now, generally routing is acceptable though its not optimal routing all the time. Between the 2, I opted for routing accuracy and map accuracy.

I have never used Garmin before, so how is its routing and map status. How old or how update is Garmin map. I need more information before I shell out $140 for the Garmin map.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tararura:
HI there

I have TT and Garmin installed right now on TYTN II . I also used Mio/iGo on TYTN II. The best of all is Garmin. Its accuracy is the best. Graphics are not that great like TT. Garmin tells you if the destination is on Left or Right when you are close to reaching it. TT is not that accurate, once it told me that my address was still 2 blocks away when I already had reached it.

Another cool thing in Garmin is that once you set the addresses in Garmin for your Contacts. You can open contacts in your phone and then you have an option to route to it through Garmin.

Menus are simple in Garmin than TT. and Garmin has more POI like I could not find Tim Hortons in TT but Garmin was showing all of them.

Personally I like Garmin very much for its accuracy
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SamNC:
I like TT6 because of better routing accuracy not destination accuracy as it does not matter too much for me if I am a house or 2 away. I bought GPS navigation softwares starting from 2001, none was satisfactory and I found TT6 had slightly better routing (sometimes I got wrong routing from TT6 as well but comparatively less than other software I owned). I settle for TT6 as a compromise, it lacks of storage capacity for Favorites.

It seems that you are quite happy with Garmin. I will problly try Garmin.
