In the main thread, hsbadr says prerequisite for the upcoming build:

"ROM Firmware Required: N910VVRU2CPJ2

If you're already on unlocked Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow bootloader, you can extract and flash the DevEd partial fimware via Odin to upgrade:

N910VVRU2CPJ2_PartialFirmware_DevEd.tar.md5.7z

This will upgrade the base firmware (NON-HLOS, modem, rpm, sbl1, sdi, and tz) to N910VVRU2CPJ2.

Read OP for general information and installation instructions! Changelog is in the 2nd post and ROM status is in the 3rd post."

I've never flashed a "partial" firmware before. He says to follow instructions in OP, so I assume that means a full data wipe/factory reset? I have the download ready to go. I know normally clean flash is the only way to go, but does the fact that this is a Partial firmware change that requirement?

Thanks!

Be on MM 6.01 with unlocked bootloader.

Download the file.

Unzip.

boot phone into download.

Launch Odin. I used 3.09- I also run as administrator.

Plug in phone.

Select AP- browse to unzipped file.

Execute.

From what I can remember you'll need to first downgrade to 5.0.1 N910VVRU2BOG5(you may only need to go back to 5.1.1)

Someone will correct this if I'm wrong. Please do anyone.

Get the files from here and you'll need to use odin. If you don't know how to do this I'll warn you not to do any of this. You'll need to be able to use odin properly. If you don't you will kill your device forever. Your fault.

Look for firmware there:

It seems really hard at first. But once you get through it, it will feel like it was easier than expected. The only trouble I had was getting temporary root to hold long enough to do the pushing files and changing permissions. I had notepad out with all commands ready so I could quickly copy and past the commands before temp root was lost.

Also from this point if you have any questions about this process, use those threads to ask them. Need to keep this thread for Q&A of CM14.1.

I want to say yes, your info is the same as mine.

VERIZON N910V.. Is it safe to flash the whole firmware then flash TWRP or is there a locked bootloader? Can it be bypassed after the newest stock firmware is flashed? What's this procedure? I do not have a Verizon model. Please post links to files (firmware or BL/Modem). Thanks for helping me.

What is the best procedure for updating?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForceField:
I can only speak for the G version but maybe It's true for Verizon

-I several times flashed the whole firmware and was able just after it to flash TWRP. :)

After That TWRP was asking if I wanted to root my device or stay unrooted

-If yes, It was Rooting the ROM and never had any problem

I think that the best procedure is this one (Flash the whole firmware and then TWRP)

Here are the firmwares for the G Model (Directly from Mama ;) )

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emtee_skull:
N910V stock has a locked bootloader. Per my previous post one will have to be on 5.0.1 N910VVRU2BOG5, unlock bootloader, then move up. So a downgrade will be necessary.

At first it is a semi-complicated process. But once done it will seem easy. Look back a few post from yours I linked a few threads that will be helpful for this process.

I was trying to be useful/informative in the main thread -- I gave feedback to hsbadr's MMS fix (that it worked, and "thanks"), and I seconded the issue that [MENTION=3631975]JoshH100[/MENTION] posted about (with log file) with "Verizon" showing as "123456". In the same post I also expressed a willingness/eagerness to contribute properly, and -- in an effort to keep the main thread as uncluttered as possible -- I specifically asked for any response to my question to be sent via PM or in this Q&A thread. Bottom line, I think my post was, at worst, no more useless than the 3 posts (#2019-2021) that amounted to nothing more than "thanks for the MMS fix", and no one jumped down their throats.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacharee1:
We can't catch everything. If you see something like that, tell the person to use the "Thanks" function instead. You shouldn't even ask the question there in the first place. You can cross-thread quote, and seconding the issue without a log is something that should be in the Q&A section. Or, you can thank the post reporting it.

I flash ( cm14.1 26/11/2016 trltevzw ) rom with (open gapps stock ) on n910t everything works but google camera crash and not working and fingerprint doesn't work as well. Any fix?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevro_86:
My only issues so far with the 11/26 build are:

1) unpredictable screen rotation

2) turning on Bluetooth wipes the call history

3) default camera that comes with the ROM force closes immediately (no big deal because of other options).

(11/26 build is the first I've tried, so I can't speak for how it compared to the older ones)

The next build that hsbadr is working on looks mammoth as far as all that it contains. If it makes screen rotation silky smooth again, and the Bluetooth thing gets fixed, it will make my 26 month old Note 4 feel like a brand new phone! I'll be keeping it for a while, especially as long as Samsung keeps removing features in their new "flagships", like the IR Blaster & the 3.5mm headphone jack. I use those all the time, regardless of what features Samsung thinks I need & don't need.

I use Peel. I have all of my stuff in multiple rooms programmed. There are a couple other IR apps that I'd like to try, but I dread having to set up each and every device all over again. I will say this... once you start using the IR blaster on your phone, it's difficult to imagine not having having it anymore. Too many devices are still controlled by IR only, without an option for WiFi or Bluetooth. And I don't want to have to buy IR receivers that have to be placed in various rooms either. Big mistake by Samsung for deciding that people don't need this anymore. They need to STOP removing useful features! They can keep their iris scanner and give me back the IR!

This isn't really a problem. Every build file is uploaded separately from its corresponding post being written and the thread name being edited, all of which is done by hsbadr at his convenience.

Quick question in prep for the new version being released.

Am I full wiping per install of this ROM? Running the 11th Nov build, trying to gauge whether or not I spend the next few hours backing everything up again. Usually with other ROMs you can flash over the top but no specific instructions have been given with this and the fact you should apply the f/g fix before Gapps has me wondering. Did a search but found nothing related to this questions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacharee1:
Specific instructions have been given for this. The OP states you should clean flash. You can certainly dirty flash, most likely without issue, but any bugs you have will be ignored if reported.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaggyskunk:
I'd recommend that you do a Clean Flash - ie: Factory Reset - Advanced in TWRP 3.0.2-0 - Manually Wipe System - Data and Caches - Flash Rom and Gapps 7.1 (optional - Flash SuperSU v2.78 Stable or v2.78 SR5) Wipe Caches - Reboot and setup.

While you may be fine only wiping system and caches - Flash Rom and Gapps - Don't report any issues unless you perform a Clean Flash.

Judging by the Changelog and going from 7.1 to 7.1.1 I know that I will definitely be doing a Factory Reset etc.

It really doesn't take that long - You can restore your User Apps with TB - Restore your Launcher and desktop - Restore your SMS/MMS and Calls... Most of your time will be making coffee while you wait for the restore operations to finish ;)

I generally backup using TB and then do a TWRP backup, this is what is time consuming, takes at least an hour or longer, perhaps I lose track of time. Probably should look at updating twrp i think I'm on 2.8, previously tried updating and it soft bricked my phone.

I'll do a clean install just in case.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaggyskunk:
Yeah I'm not sure why you would have had any issues with updating TWRP to 3.0.2-0... Generally speaking the latest version of TWRP is going to be the one to use - Nandroid backups take me somewhere between 5 - 10 minutes max - Boot - System - Data - EFS and Modem (modem isn't strictly necessary). I certainly don't backup Recovery or Caches.
