So I bought a phone used (got returned by a customer within the return policy which is 15 days less than 30 minutes of talk usage) at a carrier store in Canada which is $150 less than the full outright price.
I noticed that the recovery was flashed to a Team Win Recovery or something like that. Is there ANY way to get the recovery back to stock recovery?
Thanks
This is the Note 4 N910W8
Flash stock firmware of your phone through odin.You can download it from sammobile

What region of note do you have? If it's a Hong Kong one then you will run into issues.

Hey i have the Australian XSA which the unsubsidised international version practically buying it outright without carriers
Flash this via PDA in Odin. It should sort you out. If it bootloops again after you flash it, take your battery out for a minute or so, put it back in then boot into recovery, wipe cache and reboot. Should be 100% then.
Hey
Hey i did what you told me and now Root is not working even after flashing it on odin

My fried bought a Galaxy S4 from AT&T when he was in US. While leaving the country he bought an unlock code from AT&T and unlocked the phone using the same in India. His phone was working fine initially. Then sudden signal loss started to occur and need to restart the phone to get the signal back. Tried using different Indian carriers and the same issue continued. Will I be able to solve this issue by flashing a custom rom into his phone? Do I need to take care of anything else, like the modem firmware or something. Attaching a screen shot of his phone details. Please help guys..

You could try reflashing the same MDL firmware first. If that doesn't work, then install TWRP and try the different flashable modems.

Thank you for the reply.. However we have already tried a factory reset.. Will it be a problem if I flash the modem firmware available in the Indian Galaxy S4?? The Indian version comes with an exynos octa processor instead of the Qualcomm one..

Doing a factory reset is different from reflashing the firmware. I don't think the other modems would work, but I'm not entirely sure. If they're recovery zips you could try, but if they're ODIN files it definitely won't work.

I have tried reflashing the phone with Odin. The device now has the latest Android 4.4.2 firmware from AT&T. It seemed to work fine after flashing. We got the network and were able to make calls as well. However after sometime the signal got cutoff itself. Tried flashing again, the same thing happens. Any other suggestions??

Okay so here is my problem:
-Bought AT&T phone off ebay Hong Kong. Using phone in Australia.
-SGH-I337
-4.3 MJ6
-Rooted it.
-Installed Safestrap.
-Backed up with Safestrap.
-Flashed GOLDENEYE v49.1
-*BRICKED*
-Safestrap recovery is GONE
-Stock recovery and download modes BOTH still work. When booted, the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo/pulsating blue LED.
I've spent around 5 hours reading everything I can, but can't seem to find much regarding 4.3 MJ6.
Do I need to flash a 100% stock 4.3 MJ6 ROM to get up and running again? Does anybody know where I can find that ROM?
I've been using custom ROMs on HTCs for a couple of years, this is my first Samsung.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have an i337m? If you do you don't need safestrap. Go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware and flash that in Odin. It should get you up an running again.

When you boot into download mode what does it say your device is? Mj6 is not firmware for the i337

It says 'SGH-I337'
It's definitely MJ6, it seems to be an uncommon one which is a pita to work with.

Ok, here's what I'd do, flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. It should get your device up and running again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149. You'll have to re-setup everything again afterwards so backup first.

Hello Guys,
I just switched from the iPhone to Note 4 and i am a really happy about the phone.
Only i have a few (noob) questions:
I have bought the phone from Mediamarkt (no contract) in the Netherlands. The problem is that some Note 4 users got the LP 5.0.1 update (BOC3) and i don't. You can see the information about my phone in the picture.
Can i use odin to update my phone or shall i wait a couple days or weeks? As an old Apple user i must say the updates are very confusing. If Apple released an update then everybody would recieve it.
Thanks!
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
You could be waiting longer than a few weeks such is the nature of updates in the Android sphere.
Is your phone 'unlocked and unbranded' or is it 'sim locked / branded to a carrier'. Buying it off contract or on PAYG from your mobile carrier does not mean it's unbranded / unlocked.
If it is unbranded / unlocked you can indeed flash the 5.0.1 firmware via ODIN 3.0.9
I hesitate to suggest doing it if your device is branded and locked to a network until you at least sim unlock it from that network.
If your unsure easiest way to test is to pop a microsim from another carrier into it and you'll quickly find out.
Re: flashing via ODIN
If you using an Apple computer such as macbook - I would recommend you run ODIN in boot camp rather than via a VM such as parallels.

Thanks for your answer!
I could not test it with another SIM but i saw on the website of Mediamarkt that the phone is unlocked. Is there another possibilty to see if the phone is locked or unlocked?
And if it is locked is it then possible to unlock it and then do the update?
Many thanks

Is mediamarkt a general phone seller? or are they a carrier? If it's just a phone retailer and you don't have any splash screen or carrier apps installed, then yes it's likely an unbranded unlocked model.

Mediamarkt is a big electronics shop, they sell everything. (mediamarkt.nl)
No apps installed, i think it is an unlocked version. Do i lose my warranty of i update from the buildnumer ANK to BOC3?

I am from Germany ... I bought my wife's phone from MediaMarkt here and I flashed Lollipop with Odin with no issues. You should be okay to do it too.

Did you try a full factory reset and downgrading to the latest BTU 4.4? Including the modem and bootloader.

Just flash it in odin, but make sure the phone is off for 30 seconds or so before you do the button combo for download mode, as modems sometimes don't flash if you boot straight into download mode.
Tick bootloader update in odin, obviously a full data wipe from recovery as i doubt it would boot otherwise

So I just take any country's n9005 4.4.4 tar file and flash via odin? The only think new is to just tick on 'bootloader update' ? So basically downgrading to 4.4.4 only requires a tick on bootloader update?
