Try a data factory reset or reflash the rom you have with Odin if you`re on stock. See item 1 in my sig for how to. If you have a custom reflash the rom in recovery without a wipe.

Go to settings/more/application manager/all.in the list search Messaging application and select it.i think it is disabled. You should enable it by tapping the Enable button.at last you should reboot your phone.

Any way to transfer apps data without root (TB etc)?

Hi all,
I want to transfer my apps data but without root, any way to do it?
I tried google backup and restore it didn't work also tried Samsung Switch and no go either. Any other way that works?

Nothing as far as I've found

Helium backup/restore?
I've not personally tried with my S7E, but it's always worked in the past.

Nothing can restore your app data without root.

Helium backup does work, I've used it to backup data from my Xperia Z2 then restore that to my S7 Edge. Worked like a charm.
Though I'm not sure it works for all apps or not, the ones I tried, sure worked. Give it a try, no harm to do so.

I beg to differ, one in particular, that is snapchat. Depending on the developer of the application if data backups are or aren't allowed. In my case not being rooted did not work.

Dr.Ketan Port for Note 4 (Marshmallow)

So Dr.Ketan's S7 Edge port works on note 4 according to some youtubers and some commenters using the fixes present. It can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lrPz-PXGFQ
But one problem that isn't stated in the video, but everyone in the comments has a problem with is SMS. Is there any way to fix SMS? How do people using other Dr.Ketan roms on Sprint phones get the SMS to work?

I've already created a thread for such a ROM before stating all the required instructions.
Needless to say, SMS fix is also available by @ricohz.
Here's the link to my thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/steps-to-install-dr-ketans-rom-g-t3379659
This thread seems pointless & might confuse the readers.
Would request you to take it down.
Thanks!

Yours works for marshmallow too?
The ROMs that require you to flash from Lollipop to Marshmallow don't really work for me and are not what I want. I just want a ROM that goes from marshmallow to marshmallow like in the video in the first post, the only problem with that ROM is the SMS not working which is what I'm here for. Ironically, you say my post is confusing but it seems like yours is also. You state in the first couple lines that it's for people "who are using Sprint's Note 4 (N910P) outside of US and are stuck with Sprint's ROM" which I'm not apart of, but you told me to still use it. That does not make sense... Also "For instance, I'm using the unlocked variant of N910P with a GSM carrier, so I was having problem in connecting to the Hot-Spot feature as all of my devices were stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" loop and eventually would never connect." is a WHOLE different problem that I'm having so please clarify this before you tell me that my post is irrelevant just because you made one first.
Edit: Also that data fix does not work for SMS, even people in the thread are saying that, is there another one that I'm not seeing?

I tried the Sprint M3 and M4 got bootloop. No success with the Dr Ketan M3 or M4 data fix either. I also tried nameless fix and the T-mo fix. None of them boot, if it boot, it gave sim error. The only one that work is the Verizon V2. It worked with M3, M4 and M5. I don't have an answer for you as to why on that one work for me but it does.

I just reflashed it, and now it is working but it just takes quite a while to send and receives messages. I can live with it tho, but how do I get root on it? Root checker and titanium backup says it's unrooted

Flash super su you should of also flashed Dr Ketan M5 fix which address this issue
But you can just flash super su

And you aren't just limited to Dr Ketan rom
Mms should start sending out faster rom just needs to settle in
By the way download booster works and Android pay as well

Note 7 Will be blocked!! Will my flashed note 4 blocked too

Hi
If you follow news you seen that note 7 phones will be deactivated from Samsung. Like a lot of people I flashed my bote 4 phone with note 7 rom and received a message from Samsung asking to send it back.
Will it be a problem if I use it like this or will Samsung really deactivated it or even if it's a note 4 ( imei different?)

Which rom are u using dude? and ur model? I have tried all ported roms on 910G and didn't receive such notification.

Norma v5
G910f

Note 4 -> Note 7 deactivation

I have received such a notification a few days ago myself. Do you have any news or suggestions?
Device N910F
ROM Norma V11
Unfortunately I cant upload images to show the notification. PM me so I can send the link to show the message.

I think, Samsung needs to send an update to Note 7 phones, so they can block them. Rooted phones are unable to receive official updates. Custom roms are rooted as well, so there is nothing to worry. If there is another way they are using to stop Note 7 phones working, then; open root explorer open the build.prop in text editor and just change the model number. If they can block a phone by using the IMEI number as it is rumored then there is nothing to worry, your IMEI shows that the phone is Note 4... Note 7 roms are making my Note 4 heat too much anyway...

Thank you for the info.
Most of the time my Note 4 is OK on the N7 ROM. Some times during hard work, it does get very hot. But I can live with it.

Samsung can't block phones with IMEI. Only your network provider can block your IMEI. And like stated the firmware doesn't come with an IMEI so you have nothing to worry about

I've gotten a message about the software on this device will be modified to prevent the galaxy note 7 from charging. The phone will no longer work as a mobile device. I attached a screenshot. Not sure if they can do that or not. I have a custom n7 rom on my note 4 so I'm not worried.

Here's the screenshot

Nothing will happen. It's only if a note 7 does an ota update. Which you can't do as it's not a note 7 and it's rooted. Don't worry

Yeah that's what I figured. I'm like, I don't have a note 7, obviously. If developers could they should get rid of those pop ups cause I was not sure the first time I flashed a note 7 rom on my phone. I was reading someone elses concern stating that their carrier blocked their number because they thought they had a note 7. Im using a new note 7 rom and this is v5 of it so I would think the annoying pop ups would be gone. Thanks for responding!!

Yeah I already read about changing the model number in the build.prop file but haven't done that cause it doesn't really bother me. I just wanted to get rid of those pop ups so I turned off samsung push notifications. Thanks!

Helium ES and some other apps don't ask or see my root

I recently rooted with cf autoroot and installed helium which asked me to connect to desktop as though it wasn't rooted. I have had no problems rooting a note 3 and tab s with helium but my note 4 has 6.01 so I'm wandering if there's an incompatibility. I then installed es file explorer and lo and behold it doesn't recognise root either.
Titanium and sold explorer have no problem so I can't see what the problem is.
I decided to see if installing supersu as system might work but this option is greyed out telling me that I has system - less root mode. I don't understand the difference and when I check the same option on my tab s and note 3 this option is available.
Can anyone help me with a workaround whilst keeping stock rom if that is indeed the reason why Helium as es don't work?

I presume you mean as root? I saw some threads in the s7 forum which suggests it works unrooted. I haven't tried that yet.
And btw es explorer works fine, I just had enable the root option.
Thanks for your reply

Even if you're not rooted will not work for you.. you will get stuck at enabling usb debugging and asks you to enable PTP mode and it never pass this step..

ok understood. Shame that the developer has abandoned this app. I tried to contact support but he doesn't answer anymore.
Maybe adb backup /restore is the solution.

Maybe it's the version of MM, I don't have the most recent one. DPH1
I am rooted on stock but as I say Helium still doesn't see root. Desktop works.
Not sure what screenshots you want but here's one of Helium ready to backup and one of my about screen.

Try starting a adb server manually,
Run adb, check and devices, run desktop or chrome helium tool.
Chrome tool definitely works on my one plus 5

try installing drivers for your device in your desktop. I did that and it worked for me.
