[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You can upgrade through Odin. There's a stock tar thread here with Odin download link and simplified instructions.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63868221

If you're looking for a custom ROM, decide which ROM, check its update version and follow OP install instructions for flashing help and advice. Get the tar from thread above; it has older versions too.

If you're interested in a Lollipop custom ROM, check out the Note 5 Ultimate ports by tx_dbs_tx to see if they will work for you. Those require stock tar OK1 version and have detailed install instructions that should be followed, if interested.

You're gonna want to stop auto updates immediately after updating and also after flashing custom ROM to avoid update download and nags to update.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmalmberg:
Thank you for this. I've downloaded Odin but have a couple of additional questions. First, I only see two files with Odin. A .exe and a .ini file. Is that correct?

Second, does is matter which one of the MD5 files I download and flash over or will any of them work for me? Are there any that you consider to be better than the others?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
The .exe is an executable to launch Odin. Place the unzipped contents in an Odin folder or whatever you name it. I prefer to have Odin in my stock tar folder along with TWRP so it easily finds those to load and flash. Grab this img.tar for Odin flash of TWRP:

https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar

Be aware that TWRP recovery flash requires you to uncheck Odin option of auto reboot and wait for flash to finish but make sure you see COM added in highlighted field before starting. Upon success, remove USB cable and battery and wait at least 30 seconds and boot into recovery. If you fail to boot into recovery on initial boot after TWRP flash, the stock recovery will restore itself and you won't see TWRP later when booting recovery.

Be aware that Odin flashing tar files will utilize the AP slot to load and flash. Stock tar will take a while to check the md5 so wait until you see you see your device added as COM in the Odin log and highlighted field before you start a flash, particularly stock tar; expect a wait period for md5 verification.

The stock tar you choose would depend on the ROM you choose. I don't know your preference but for Odin, you should limit your choices from OG5 and up to latest. You can downgrade to lollipop or upgrade to marshmallow at will but in your case, I think either is an upgrade for you.

Lots of choices so pick one and look in OP for what update it's based on. Then you'll know which update to download.

I only suggested the Note 5 Ultimate ports because you mentioned lollipop. The ROM is stable but read the OP and see if that's what you want. Custom ROMs usually give a list of broken features and install directions to consider complexity of install and setup and result to expect.

There's also stock ROMs or Cyanogen Mod (CM) ROMs. Each have their own appeal and following.

There is a marshmallow port based on Note7 but the degree of difficulty is higher. There's fix workarounds that may require extra steps and experience that you either have or will learn along the way and glean from searching thread. Up to you what to choose but backup stock first, once you Odin and get TWRP and then backup any ROM you like if seeking alternatives.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmalmberg:
Since this is my first time doing this, I think I want to keep it as simple as possible. So I'm going to stick with lollipop. The version that I'm thinking of using is:

OJ6 Lollipop TAR: N910PVPU4COJ6_N910PSPT4COJ6_SPR.zip

md5: 13ab3afb59130382b2ce0f9113a193a8

I've opened Odin, put the phone into download mode and attached it. Odin can see the phone but I haven't tried to do anything yet. Sorry to pepper you with questions but I really don't want to brick my phone, so here are a few more.

1. When I flash the new ROM, will my phone still be rooted or will I need to do that again?

2. If I don't repartition the phone, will my data and apps still be there when I reboot?

3. If this doesn't work, can I restore my old system using a backup that I made with TWRP?

Thanks again for the assistance. I really appreciate it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Repartition should only be used if there's a problem. Like I said, use the Odin defaults for stock tar.

Stock tar is factory firmware so yes, you must root again. Think of it as out of the box stock but your data and user apps should remain. No guarantee so you should backup to extSdCard but you never really know if the internal memory gets wiped or not. Usually not for those running touchwiz ROMs.

You could restore the backup but if the flash takes then there may be some compatibility issues.

It's often recommended to clean install ROMs for best compatibility so that's up to you if you want to risk keeping your user apps and data on there. You can expect longer boots to optimize the apps but consider the stock tar would boot right up, if installed cleanly.

Custom ROMs will have to optimize applications. If you're also keeping the user apps, they'll have to be optimized again so that makes the initial boot even longer. You should consider cooling with forced air for these initial boots and have ample charge. I recommend 80% or more.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmalmberg:
OK, I think I'm ready to try this. Just want to make sure I've dotted all the "i"s and crossed all the "t"s.

Can you confirm the following procedures for me.

I've removed most of my apps to make the process go a little more smoothly. I've downloaded the ROM I want to flash. When I open Odin 3.12.3 and connect my phone, under Options, I remove the check mark by auto reboot and leave the box checked by F. Reset Time. Everything else under options is unchecked. Then to the right, I check the box next to the AP button and select the TAR for the ROM. I leave everything else alone. Is that correct?

I'm not sure what to do with the TWRP TAR file you had me download. Do I place that in one of the other boxes?

After that, I select start and wait for it to complete. Is there anything else I should know?

Thank you for your help on this.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You'll do two flashes with Odin in order to get to update required with Odin defaults, you flash the stock tar and let it auto boot. Close Odin when done.

Flashing TWRP requires the auto reboot unchecked because you need to boot into recovery on first boot after flashing TWRP.

Both are flashed in AP slot on separate Odin sessions because they're tar files. You'll need to Odin TWRP and root again after flashing a stock tar. For custom ROMs, consider the ROM zip is already pre-rooted so all you need is TWRP.

Unless you want to root stock, I'll leave that part out of this post.

Do you have the USB driver for Note 4 installed on PC? If not, goto Samsung support and get the one for Note 4 from the download section.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmalmberg:
I was able to flash the ROM to the phone without any real issues. Thank you for your help on that. I wouldn't have got that done without your assistance and I really appreciate it.

After I was finished with the ROM, I used CF Auto Root to reroot the phone and then I tried to flash TWRP recovery. I'm having issues with TWRP.

I closed Odin and they reopened it as an administrator. When I click on the button next to the AP slot, it opens a file window. At that point I clicked on the extracted TWRP .tar file you had me download. The program just seems to hang and never actually shows up in the box next to the AP button. Any suggestions?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You shouldn't unzip or extract img.tar files but flash as downloaded. If it had a .zip extension, yes, but as I recall, it's not zipped nor need extracting.

It's already a tar file for flashing. Tricky annotation but I think it just means that it's been converted from .img to .tar and ready for Odin. I think only TWRP does that extension naming.

Hopefully, it's only hanging because Odin or phone doesn't know what to do with it. Pull battery and check that it still boots recovery and system. Then back to download mode to Odin without extracting img.tar file.

I guess if you extract properly, you're left with an image file but I wouldn't do it by extraction because you can download image files from TWRP without needing to convert. Just so you know, those .img files can be flashed in TWRP recovery to update whenever that happens again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmalmberg:
Thank you! It worked.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Now, hopefully you have ROM picked out and on extSdCard ready to flash.

I'd backup stock ROM to extSdCard in TWRP just in case.

Follow the OP on your ROM install. Enjoy!

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] coldspring22:
The eserviceinfo links above are for ifixit repair document which only offer rudimentary information about disassembly. If you want to do board level repairs, you need schematics. Fortunately there is LG G5 service manual for H845 (LG G5, russian model) available on internet. Schematic should be nearly identical for all LG G5 models, so it should be good for doing board level repairs on H850 or any other LG G5.

Thank you for this interesting service manual but the H845 variant seems to actually be the G5 SE, not the full G5, although it is interesting that Russia got a dual-SIM version of the G5 SE whereas Canada got a single-SIM version of the full G5, the H831.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AllTheWay:
I have been running Windows Vista x64 Ultimate for some time now. I have been able to sync fine for some time now but all of sudden I am unable to now. I have tried flashing back the original AT&T ROM and still haven't had any sucess syncing it to Vista. I was doing some reading on Microsoft's website and found this solution to the exact problem that I am having.

I have re-installed WMDC 3 times already, so I don't think that's the problem either. I can't do a system restore because my restore only goes back that far. My phone is able to sync fine with Windows XP Professional so I pretty sure it has something to do with Vista, not working correctly.

Here is the error that I get and Microsoft's solution to the problem:

Windows Mobile Device Center fails to connect due to the Windows Portable Device driver failing to load. In some cases, you may be unable to connect and only a red X error icon is displayed in Windows Mobile Device Center. This can be caused by Windows Portable Device driver failing to load. Connect your device

Go to Manager (Computer > Properties)

Find the Portable Devices node

Locate the Windows Mobile device entry

Choose to uninstall the driver

Reconnect your device

I tried following the directions but I am not sure where to go. What is Microsoft talking about when it says go to Manager? I have no idea where that is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am been fighting with this for some time now, about a week in all, and I still haven't been able to figure it out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Carty:
Oh this ActiveSync issue was thought to be resolved by WMDC but not yet completely. Anyway, you might try the above as Microsoft says. Manager is the Device Manager. You shall find it by right-click on My Computer icon, select Properties and in the Window that opens, a link to Device Manager is at the left top corner. Is that the one you were looking for?

Regards,

Carty..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AllTheWay:
Thanks for the quick reply but I don't think that is it. I have searched through the device manager and couldn't find anything that related to what Microsoft said. I was just wondering if there was something else they were refering to but I was guessing it was Device Manager. However I thought they would just say "Device Manager" if that's what it really was.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Puckster:
Dude, i think you are on the right track. The "Manager" is definitely "Device Manager" although the Portable Devices item will not actually be displayed in Device Manager if the Kaiser / TyTN II is not actually connected to the PC via USB / Bluetooth.

Try connecting the phone to the PC and check Device Manager again. If the Portable Devices heading does not show up with the phone connected the steps suggested by Microsoft may not fix your problem. Let us know how you get on. I have 3 vista PC's here with me so I may be able to help you work it out if you still have no luck.

Cheers

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Griffinit:
The built in alarm clock in Marshmallow is working fine for me. However one function has been disappeared.

I often snooze the alarm, and then want to dismiss it before the end of the snooze period.

Example: Get alarm or snooze display at 10 o'clock. Choose snooze, so alarm will go off again at 10:10. But at 10:05 I decide I don't want the alarm any more and want to switch the snoozing off and dismiss the alarm.

In previous version of Android, this was easy. Whenever phone was snoozing, there would be a notification in the notification pull down screen that I could just tap, and that switched off the snooze and dismissed that alarm.

In Marshmallow this has disappeared. There is a workaround by going into clock settings, switching the alarm off and then switching it on again so it would work the next day. But this is very clumsy.

Does anyone know how to get the notification back so it works as before?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Griffinit:
Solved

After hours of changing app settings, and system settings, I finally tracked this problem down to Clean Master. There's a setting for battery optimization in Clean Master which had been switched on and which I switched off, and the snoozed alarm showed up in Notifications as it always had before.

Warning: I had never used Clean Master although it had always been on my phone as I downloaded it early on. Something changed this setting, it wasn't me and it was not using Clean Master.

I have noticed that changing certain settings can populate other apps with changed settings. No way of telling this has happened or which apps. I would say this is a major drawback with Android. Or downloadable Apps.

I installed Resurrection Remix (RR-N-v5.8.0-20170114-kenzo-Nightly.zip) on my kate. I also have microG installed. Everything works great except for two things:

The camera is extremely grainy and low resolution. The phone has a 13 MP camera but the image looks like 5 MP tops. Additionally, the camera has terrible stuttering issues when moving. The same thing happens with recording video. I have tried installing alternative camera apps from F-droid, but the problem persists.

GPS works very badly, it detects a few satellites at most and there seems to be no support for GLONASS and a few other navigation systems. Only GPS satellites are displayed in SatStat.

Is it caused by the wrong drivers? If so, how can I install the Kate drivers on this ROM?:confused:
