Hi,
I have rooted and installed TWRP on my 910F Note4 as I was fed up waiting on the lollipop update rolling out. I am currently on 4.4.4 and have made a full backup using TWRP of the stock rom.
My intention was flashing the Cyanogen ROM and using that, but i now see on sammobile there is a stock 5.01 rom available. I have a few questions about this.
1. If I flash to Cyanogen can I still revert back to the stock rom 4.4.4 I have made a backup with? I read somewhere there might be problems as I was on KitKat then moved to lollipop(Cyanogen).
2. Can I flash the stock lollipop rom from within TWRP? Or do you have to do this via ODIN?
3. If I flash the Lollipop stock ROM with Odin I assume I will lose root and TWRP? So this would have to done again?
Guess I am asking what is the best way to proceed?
Thanks again
Paul

hi Paul,
1. i beleve to flash CM from kitkat you will need to install the lollipop bootloader first.
2. You have to flash the stock rom via Odin, you will keep all apps settings and files but you will lose root (you u can re root in 3 minutes)
Best thing you could do is flash the stock rom first with odin, see how that feels (IMO its good been using it for months now) and then root it and back it up and flash CM12 (you dont have to flash any boatloader at this point)

Ok tried to flash Stock O2 UK lollipop ROM via ODIN and got error message on screen. MD5 too big or something. Had to pull battery on phone. Had to then reflash TWRP. Got back into TWRP and tried to do a recovery of the backup I took but phone is stuck at Galaxy note 4 screen. It then shuts down and restarts and gets to the same screen again.
Do I try a different ROM? What can I do?
Thanks

I got it working by flashing the German non branded ROM... Got the error message again but then used a "All samsung recovery.tar" as stated on another post in here and it booted fine eventually... Now on Lollipop. Now time to flash with TWRP.... Again!!!
Please, i need help !
I need help, urgently !
My Note 4 SM-N910C does not work. I can enter the Recovery and the Download Mode. When attempting to install a Custom ROM gives me an error that says I have no data. In the internal memory I have 0mb.
I tried using odin, but I can not .. Salta error.
Someone who can make a backup of your phone (which is factory), leave me a link to download it? So I install the TWRP. Please.
They have another solution?
Thank you.:good:
Hi .
I installed BOG6 rom on my G900H . after some time i wipe all my data and try install custom rom that i installed it before .
after reboot my phone won't boot .

Sorry For My Bad Grammer
PN : Custom Rom Boot Properly Previously ...
Once you have TWRP 2.8.7.0 successfully flashed, you should be able to flash any custom rom you want......
Are you certain that the TWRP flash is 100% successful?
Edit.....just noticed you have the H variant of the device......
This is the only TWRP you can use.....

Oh dear ! Thats not a good sign.your motherboard is acting crazy.try flash twrp again in odin and try to flash rom without wipe cache or dalvik cache (just wipe system) and flash rom.

Live demo units are so limited and so far from being a real phones, your phone model is i9505X, so it's not i9505 and so, you won't be able to flash custom ROM on it.

I read your message very well, just "i9505 demo" seems complicating, as the live demo version of the i9505 is the i9505X that's all what i was saying, so if you're sure you have a i9505 phone, then it's not demo.
Back to your problem:
1-what recovery are you using? If TWRP then what version?
2-what rom did you try to flash? And what did you wipe before flashing?

Ok, what TWRP are you using? you should flash android 6 or 7 with the latest TWRP 3, not with an older version, also for stock rom you should download it from a trusted site like sammobile.com, or samsung-firmware.org, other than those i wouldn't recommend, and use Odin 3.07 or 3.09, those versions works for everyone.

In advanced wipe menu, Mark the system partition, then press the button at the bottom that says "repair or change file system", and choose EXT4 then format the system, and see if that works, if it didn't work, try doing the same for /data and /cache partitions.

In certain cases, custom recovery won't stick after reboot. The stock firmware will replace it.
Best procedure is to untick "Auto-reboot" in odin and flash TWRP or Phil'z, then manually reboot directly to recovery.
<I use rom manager to flash my Cwm>
Thats your problem . Dont use rom manager at all .Multiple identical posts on the forum .
TWRP is better than CWM, in my opinion. More custom ROMs seem to be more compatible for some reason with TWRP.
2.8.7 to be on the safe side
