[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] nellom:
before my steps took just want to say yes i wiped everything that was instructed to wipe 3x excluding the internal storage and sd card, along with rebooting after the wipes, second go around i included the internal storage due to him mentioning it being up to the user i also chose all the same options as u did note 7 camera s8 magisk excetra. everything seemed to work flawlessly only when i try to boot into the new rom it gets hung up on the samsung logo for over 25 mins and phone gets crazy hot so instead of waiting for the heat to cook my phones mobo i pulled the battery and aborted both times. maybe im not waiting long enough but my experience tells me something was wrong more or less i cannot get to the welcome screen of the new rom, gets hung up on boot. also yes i was installing the norma rom from a sd card not phones internal storage

1. the instalation of the v17 norma rom stalls on first boot on my first try over 25 min waiting (followed all instructions to the ' T ' not my first time doing stuff like this)

2. decided to try to wipe internal storage as well on the second go around as petbede said was up to the user to do so (to be safe dumped restore on pc via adb/twrp)

3. same issue as the first time stalled on the samsung logo first boot up of the rom over 25 mins waited but this time i wiped internal storage so had to pull my restore file from pc back to phone via adb, this took hours and many many tries but finally worked, adb kept erroring out saying something about protocol but after the 50th time trying it finally took

4.before trying again i am trying to get twrp to dump a restore of stock rom onto a sd card so if i have issues again it will be easy to reinstall my backup but twrp just resets everytime i try to restore from sd card even tried using twrp file manager to copy and paste the restore from sd card to internal storage but it fails to do so within first few seconds so only option it seems is to restore from internal storage

5. now i am downloading the rom again to try and make sure the original was not corrupted ( should have been fine since i made it all the way to boot but details right) but i am hesitant to try this again for fear of fighting with adb getting my restore back from pc so my option is to try without wiping internal storage (which was mentioned but not stated as a must) so i can easily restore my backup without adb.

im not new to these sort of things i have hacked/modded many things including game systems and pc related software i am not a programmer by any means but experienced in these things running a custom pc i built myself i7 3770k 16 gigs ram gtx 970ftw 128 gb ssd 250 gb ssd 2tb hdd 300gb hdd water cooled wraped in a nztx phantom full atx case 750 corsair psu asrock pro3 mobo

will post to this reply after my new attempt hopefully it works this time

ok tried to install again and once again made it up to booting into the new rom and stuck on the flashing samsung logo for over 20 mins now and phone is once again hotter than hell but noticed a couple things this go around i didnt notice before when booting into recovery twrp i get the recovery is not seandroid enforcing , however twrp works fine other than not being able to restore from ext sd card and when the phone booted into the rom after installation i got the similar message but instead of recovery it says kernal so something is off for sure stock bootloader is N910TUVU1ANIH note 4 sm-n910t n if it makes a difference im in the usa
