Sorry if this has already been posted but I am posting for a friend.
His handset is the N910G Variant and is having troubles installing roms. Im from the One M8 side so I dont exactly know what to do for him. So I'm after some help!
All the roms on the snapdragon forum is N910F and what happpens is that he gets bootloops after installing a new rom, its confusing because we just wanted to know is there any prerequisites prior to installing a N910F rom on a N910G device.
We have already rooted the phone and its got cwm recovery running on the device.
Any help is appreciated!
ROM's for 910G are at least compatible with the 910F. All you need is a (custom) Kernel for the 910F and 910G ROM's works like a charm.
I assume it's the same thing the other way, you just need a custom 910G Kernel to flash 910F ROM's on the 910G.

I've done a fair share of searching and I feel bad for asking, but could you point me/us in the direction we'd need to learn how to do that?
I can flash samsung roms for days, custom roms, etc no problem, this is just something I've never done.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I'd really appreciate it!
I've never had to ask for help before with flashing one of my devices, and have flashed hundreds of times with my previous phones, S3, S5 and Note3 .. However this one has me a bit stumped. I have the Note4 N910F and I see many awesome LP ROMS seem to require that you flash stock 5.0.1 via Odin before flashing the custom ROM.
I managed to do this successfully with the ROM listed at Sammobile called "Unknown 5.0.1 N910FXXU1BOC3 N910FTPD1BOC1" - Everything is OK, boots perfectly and I have cell signal and LTE. Rooting was also a non-issue. The problem I have though is that no matter which custom recovery I try, and regardless of ROM that I try, all seem to get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung screen.
Am I doing or have done something horribly wrong?
Please help!
I think I may have answered my own question. The stock ROM I flashed was BOB3, it seems I need to be on BOB4, which is the German based ROM. Busy downloading that now!

Why can't you flash custom rom's with BOB3 installed?
Thanks
Hi all, this is my first ever post so please bear with me!
I have a Note 4 sm-910f. I rooted recently and have the latest TWRP installed. I have tried to install a number of ROMs but:
If I install AOSP based I get a "Failed" error and a note to say that the ROM is not the correct one for the device - it seems to get my device wrong too?!
If I install a Touchwiz ROM such as NoteX it appears to flash OK but it just keeps bootlooping upon restart.
Any ideas? Could it be anything to do with the modem or bootloader? I'm currently on stock 5.0.1.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I did mean X-note. I have tried a number of other ROMs too, Aliance - Emotion Revolution.
Right now I tried flashing a new bootloader/modem as per this ROM "http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-robomix-t3069298" but now I'm stuck in a complete bootloop!!
I think I need to get the correct bootloader and/or modem - I just don't have a clue why or what is what. I an't find any guides!

you took the booloader from the rom op and flash it ? either first or later flashing the rom zip ?
Hey!
I'm started to learn all the stuff about root/custom roms this week. I have the stock 5.1.1 ROM on my note 4 and it seems i'll flash dr ketan rom on it, but theres one thing thats not clear.
Do i need to flash bootloader/modem in my situation?
Is there any specific type of bootloader/modem i need to flash? The Dr Ketan topic mentions that OI3 bootloader/modem, but i cant find an answer if its good for my phone. My phone is N910FXXS1COK1.
Thanks for your help!
Hey guys,
I'm going to install a custom ROM today to see if that maybe fixes my SensorHub not working. I just need guidance on the correct procedure. I have a SM-N900 model (N900XXUEBOL2) running Lollipop 5.0. Do I first need to root, or can I install a custom ROM straight from the stock recovery? It seems like there aren't may ROMS available for the SM-900 model, but I've found one that seems to have good battery life and performance: TR-ROM. This is the procedure I will follow:
1) Root phone with CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.zip
2) Use ODIN to flash n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812).tar
3) Flash TR-ROM from CWM: TR-ROM XDA
Is this all correct? I just want to make sure that I don't brick my phone!
Also, how can I revert back to stock if I need to?
Thanks so much!!!

OK. ..so are the 3 steps I mentioned above correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-root-note-3-sm-n900-5-0-install-t3069670
I'm trying to follow that guide, but the build number of N900 on the CF-Root site says:
LRX21V.N900XXUEBOA6
Whereas mine is:
N900XXUEBOL2
Will is still work? Also, it says a locked bootloader will probably brick your device. How do I check if mine is locked?
I've rooted and installed custom roms on many devices before - I'm not sure why rooting and installing custom rom on the Note 3 is so daunting...
Google?

I wouldn't be asking here if I hadn't already Google'd extensively.
But of course... The phone is brand new, so there's no info yet available. I understand...
Yes, do as you wrote in the first post. Should be ok, as those are the latest files.

I'm finding that there is actually TOO much information (too many variables). That's why I'm asking specifically about my version, as I can't seem to get my head around it - and rather than brick my phone, I'm merely seeking a bit of guidance from someone more experienced than me. In the past, when I was rooting previous phones, I received a lot of useful information and help from XDA - but it seems like now all I'm getting are sarcastic remarks and general unfriendliness. Why is that?
You have N900 its an exynos model not the qualcom .Not something that has a big following on here .
The links in your post point to zips , whats the point of me downloading a zip ??
CF autoroot you need to read the instructions regarding builds .
Locked boot loader no idea for that model .
CWM yes flash via Odin if its the correct one for your model .
Flash rom yes the rom will give you the method .
Hello
My Galaxy Note 4 is SM-N910W8 (canadian)
I heard that N910w8 and N910F have same hardware, thats why N910w8 can be flashed to N910F right ?
Will be there any problems ?
What do you think guys?
Why I want to flash it to N910F ?
because the N910w8 have only a few system languages, what I need is a russian langue and I know the N910F has it

You can only flash custom rom from n910f with datafix and custom kernel supported for your model in order to do this you have to root your device and it will trigger knox 0×1.
If you flash through odin n910f firmware it will fail because models are different.
Maybe there is a way to only add a Russian language pack for the system ?
The version I have is 6.0.1

No you cannot add languages that easy there is lot of work to do.
If you have rooted phone with xposed framework installed you can Try "language enabler" module from xposed downloads maybe it will work.
Or you can try any N910F rom with datafix and kernel for your model it will work very well with all languages supported.
I am running dr.ketan m6 s7edge rom on N910T T- mobile note 4 with datafix and kernel and it has all the languages.
Yes , the device is rooted and I tried the app Language Enabler, and it didn't worked, it seems like I just don't have the languages pre installed.
If the only way is to flash for a n910F + datafix
Can you please give me an advice which ROM to download? There are a lot, Dr ketans seems to be nice.
But I'm.not sure which one is good for me.
I use a lot the S Pen , and the applications for the S Pen are very useful for me.
Thanks

Dr ketan m6 s7 port and m12 note 7 port are best it depends which 1 you like note 7 or s7 look they both support s.pen and all languages but fingerprint reader on lockscreen will not work.
In download section you will find a datafix file for all models.
Thank you very much, you helped me a lot ! Have a good day!
