[Q] Flash firmware from sammobile, Odin or custom Recovery? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, want to clean install a fresh stock rom as my note started to lag..
downloaded a stock rom from sammobile. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910F/NEE/
i have a custom recovery([trltexx][N910F][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch)
do I use Odin as stated by sammobile, or just use CWM?

Go to recovery wipe everything clean than go to dowload mode and flash via odin

thanks for your reply. i actually did that..
but are there any advantages over using ODIN instead of CWM when flashing like this?

upgrade problem
I updated the recent update via kies and was just rooted on stock rom. Now my phone will not fast charge and its a slow as hell charge. I verified the update removed root. I removed superSU and rebooted even though it said it was already gone when i had tried to launch. I am worried now my phone is messed up =(

If I am not mistaken, to flash via cwm you need a flashable zip. I am not sure if the stock rom downloaded from sammibile is a flashable zip

In need of assistance with 4.3 root

Hey there, I've recently made the purchase of a samsung galaxy S4 1337m
Once i got it home, the first thing i did was root it via Chainfires Root, and downloaded
rom manager, and installed CWM, and backed up my original OS with the original root
to a SD Card, once i did that I installed Odexed Andriod 4.3 for US and CAN, when i discovered
there was Chainsfire root guide for this version in particular, i tried to install it, what i did was attempt
to flash the latest root onto 4.3 via oden, after which i would flash the modded software to work for 4.3
however, in the process i ended up losing CWM, and the root all together, so i was wondering if anyone
was willing to lend me a hand getting the root onto my 4.3, so i can get my CWM back on.
Thanks!

I haven't used 4.3 but from what I've read I believe you just flash the .zip chainfire provided from recovery.
So now you will have to ODIN back to stock if you lost your recovery, re-root, install recovery (recommend TWRP instead), re-flash 4.3, flash the .zip provided from chainfire in his post here:

Do you know whether or not I'm able to re-flash with oden using the recovery created by CWM?
Or do i need to download the stock rom for my phone, which i imagine I would do a factory wipe
then boot into download mode then flash the stock rom?

The backup created from CWM should be a .zip that is flash-able only from recovery afaik. You will need your stock firmware .tar file and flash with ODIN. This is only if you surely cannot boot into recovery. If you manage to boot to CWM you can flash your backup of course.
Your STOCK firmware can be downloaded here:

I currently did a factory wipe on my device, and flashed using odin with my stock
rom, things are looking good thus far, will keep posted if anything goes not as planned!

[Q] Strange problems after full restore

I tried flashing to the latest version of stock rom and found it had the new Samsung policy updates in place preventing me from rooting and using superuser things properly, so I went to do a full restore back (using clockworkmod).
Now my phone takes about 3 minutes to pass the logo screen before booting up to the home screen and my wifi won't switch on either... Anyone have any ideas why this may be?
I'm currently downloading an older stock firmware to flash using odin and then using titanium to restore all my apps and settings.
Is there a way I can have the latest stock firmware without the new policy updates?
Hi, you need to reinstall the stock up to date version via Odin. It may take two attempts. Your boot loader is locked. Once you have done this, flash a recovery via odin then you can root and flash a recovery. It happened to me. Any questions let me know.

So I need to install the latest stock rom (even though it's got the new Samsung policy updates thing on?), to lock the boot loader, then root and flash CWM via Odin and then use CWM to restore a full backup?
I tried that and it doesn't work... and now when I flash the latest stock rom, the wifi doesn't even turn on... arggghhhhhhhhh!!!!

Stock ROM Backup

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:

Need Someone to walk me through some problem immediately

I was running on dark aurora rom and i tried to use flashify to download twrp so i can flash CM12.1 with it (Since cmw didnt work for some reason) and when i opened twrp it says that my phone has no OS and it cant read my backups or my files (including the cm12.1 zip file) and right know when i try to power up the phone it opens up twrp and i dont know what to do
Tried flashing stock firmware with odin and i cant boot into the system just stuck at samsung logo
Does it read an SD card? If so, try flashing a rom through TWRP. Else, try a PIT flash through Odin.

But after flashing it I lost my TWRP Recovery and the Rom was not rooted. Now how can I root it again? And the rom is usually for i9505G but i works very well on my i9505, but the problem no root and no recovery anymore.
Are you able to reflash twrp using Odin and then flash supersu from twrp?

Can i use a twrp recovery for my s4 i9505? And it doesn't matter on which rom i am?
Find the version of twrp here that can be flashed via Odin: https://twrp.me/Devices/
Doesn't matter which rom you are using unless it is cm13 which is pre-rooted.

when the s4 is on it will be detected with no problem, but in download mode it wont be detected. i hate this rom so much
Did you download a stock GPE rom or one from the forum here?
As the stock GPE roms are the same as Samsung stock roms. Meaning that you lose root and custom recovery.
Anyway, have you tried installing SuperSU from the play store.
You can flash a recovery using flashify. But I guess this needs root. You also need the recovery.img to work.
cwm is the best for 505 try it it will be efficated
