Hi all, I have not touched my S4 (i9505) for a while and still running stock rooted 4.2.2 with (wanam) Adam kernel 1.6
Now I want to flash stock 4.4.2, can I use mobile Odin? Will my phone be REGION LOCKED ? I don't care about Knox. Thanks
anyone ???
If you say untouched, means not rooted? Mobile ODIN needs root access.
And some part will NOT be flashed by mobile ODIN, you have to do with PC

Hmmmm, for stock firmware I don't think so, mobile ODIN will flash, but some of part like bootloader it won't flash. And I am not sure if it's working on 4.2 bootloader.
Personal suggestion is that you flash recovery and then using recovery to flash KNOX-free ROM

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but have read many things on it and have gotten lots of help, but this question NEEDS a new thread!
I have been using my International Galaxy Note 3 (9005) for about 9 months, I bought it from Kogan in Australia and just recently I decided to root it using CF-Auto Root and then flash X-Note build 18.
A couple of days ago I decided that I didn't like X-Note that much so I tried and flashed Omega Rom. That all worked fine but I didn't really like any of the custom Roms and I just wanted to go back to stock.
So I download (for the first time) the newly released KitKat Australian SM-N9005 Firmware from SamMobile and tried to flash it through Odin straight over Clockwork mod recovery and over the Omega Rom that I currently had installed. When it finished it said that it had failed and something about the Ext4 not being valid, I was shocked (his had never happened to me before with Odin).
I no longer could boot into recovery and the phone said to plug it into Samsung Kies 3 and do an emergency recovery, So i plugged it in and it said that the device was not recognized, and it would not show up in the device list within the emergency recovery window.
So I did a lot of Googleing and came to the conclusion that It was probably the N9005 Australian Rom not being compatible. So after all of these errors and such I booted back into download mode and tried to install one of the other Kitkat Official firmwares that had worked fine before.
It installed just fine and Odin said reset and I unplugged it. but when it booted for the first time I was getting boot loops continually and when and now as I just start to go through the setup process the interface lags and it flashes black a few times and says I have no Sim card in (Which I DO!) and it restarts several times and IS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
It also takes about ten seconds or more after pushing the power button in to get the display to display again and it is unusable and behaving all weird.
The first few times I flash the stock firmware on it through Odin, it remembered my wallpaper, which is really weird seeing I factory reset it!
My best guess is that Flashing it through Odin and and factory reseting it is just not completely clearing it/wiping it and the system is all messed up and stuff is left over.
I don't no WHAT to do!!!! I can't even use it and it's driving me crazy can somebody, please help me!!!!
Thank you!
Look in to omega rom which version of android base it's used, flash same version of stock rom, may not available for Australian but u can flash other countries stock rom, try this & good luck.

Hi why would I have to flash the same android base as omega and what actually is Android Base?
Also will this fix it and how do I check the android base?
Thanks
If omega rom has higher bootloader version, it will not allow to downgrade if Australia stock firmware version is lower, to find out of version u must look at omega rom u flashed.

Should I try a 'Mega Wipe' to completely format it? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501577
And I was just reading something about no signal and IMEI, I have no signal and it says no sim card, does that mean I've lost my IMEI forever??
When I was installing x-note I thought EFS backup meant a CMR full backup

Yes the original was, but this script is modified for the n9005 like the guys says in the link.
Will this mega wipe fix my phone??
I don't know about mega wipe, if I will be in your place before making case complicated I would prefer to flash LATTEST STOCK ROM.

Hi Guys,
I ordered SM-N910C (Note4) and I should be able to received them sometime nextweek. Now, being said, rooting the device came into my mind .
1. SM-N910C (open line/ not carrier lock) can be rooted as long as its Boothloader unlocked , right? - if boothloader lock, is there a way to unlock it at this point?
2. Once I rooted and Installed TWRP/CWM, can I restore them to default/ Stock recovery ?
3. Once rooted, do I still get update on Samsung Apps via Samsung store?
4. Once rooted, Can i still update the firmware as soon as Samsung released new version such as 5.0 (understand that I need to manually upgrade it) - I think I read somewhere that if Note 4 is rooted, you will not be able to upgrade to 5.0 even doing it manually, im not sure if it is 100% correct.
5. Once rooted, other samsung apps will still work , right? such S Healh, S Voice, etc (all N4 feature).. is there any feature/ samsung app that stops working as soon as we root the device?
6. I know Note4 camera is really good, but I found this site, that we can still boost Note4 camera by replacing the camera apk, http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-boost-galaxy-note-4-camera-performance-using-mod-1473882 .. anybody already tested this ? wondering how it performs..
7. Planning to root it using CF Auto Root.
I understand that rooting N4 will trip Knox (let me know if there are new procedure that will not trip knox).
Thanks
1.You can root without touching bootloader.
2.Yes
3.Yes
4.Yes. but you have to flash stock ROM manually with odin (Never heard you can't flash ROM with odin bcoz of rooted status)
5.There may be some app got broken like S health,screen mirror and some banking app etc . but almost have FIX for it.
6.Your linked content is from XDA source only, search in theme and app section
7. My preferred method is flash CWM/TWRP and flash SuperSU zip (CF auto differ only by keeping recovery stock, which actually have no meaning but lot limitation is there)
No method there to root without tripping knox
PS : This topic goes to Q&A NOT in development
1.i don't think any note4's BL is Locked...or if there is any there will be unlockers soon.
2.yes, with odin.
3.yes.
4.you can update it with Odin.where do you Read it??! (if there was any problem you can use Custom Roms..Or Deodexed Lollipop Roms and Flash Them via Recovery)
5.i know if you root New Samsung Devices With CF-Root Method and others like it KNOX Will Trip...its mean All Security things that Use Knox will not work anymore Like Billing Services...go to settings/about phone and see them.
6......i don't know too
7.see 5.
i didn't root my N910C too and waiting for new procedure

Thanks, dr.ketan and genius.lizard2.
I;ve been looking for CF-Auto-Root file for Note 4 SM-N910C, and I only found this.
SM-N910C (Thailand, Exynos): CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.zip
I am from Philippines , do you think above file will be compatible? What will be the effect? and I am not sure where my SM-N910C came from as I also saw bunch of SM-N910C from different country.
Thanks.
Hi guys do you know if we can expect a knox 0x0 root method, like towelroot for our notes?
Not at this point, definitely rooting will trip Knox 0x1, at least for now.

now that i'm thinking....i can't wait anymore for Another method..i'm going for CF Root too.
Please update us when you already rooted it and how it goes. My note 4 will arrive next week.
The cf-auto-root I found is Thailand version of SM-N910C, I'm afraid that it might not compatible with other version SM-N910C, or we encounter issues (different langauage?)
Anybody who tried this on any SM-N910S?

HI guys,
After rooting, would you recommend installing TWRP or just use stoxk recovery? And what is the advantage of TWRP over stock recovery?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
With TWRP or other recovery, you can flash custom ROMs and MODs. That is the only purpose of it.
hi i want to completely format my n910f and re install the stock rom.
can i use TWRP to format the phone and afterwards install the stock rom with odin ?
or do i have to do this another way ?
i tried some custom roms and im on stock lollipop now but have the feeling that things will get better if i completely start over agian.

Hello I've got problem with my galaxy s4 i9505
So if i want to flash something via odin it's writes complete(write) operation failed.
My device is currently rooted I've install CWM mod somehow even odin said its failed so thats realy wired. At first i just wanted to update android from 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 i dont remember to latest official 5.0.1 and it failed and device are bricked. I've Don't know what to do so i flashed CWM and fortunately it works. Couple days later I've installed Resurrection Remix rom on android 6.0.1 and ti works quite well. Currently I'm running some s6 port rom on android 5.1.1 and there are some issues propably because I've don't install recommended modem & bootloader(current modem is i9505xxugne5) because i just can't. Tried to use another odin versions usb ports/cables and another pc's/windows versions. Any ideas how to get this work. I haven't any problems with odin on my previous phone galaxy s2 plus. Sorry for bad English and Thanks very much for help
Which file is giving the error in Odin? Have you tried different version of Odin, USB cables, and USB ports?
@audit13, he did mention trying all of the above mentioned.
@xOwczarek, do you have the Samsung drivers installed? And if you do, did you install the separately or with Kies?
First I've installed drivers and it don't work then kies and same.

And are you using the original cable or have tried with the original cable?
Yes I've use orginal cable. And tried others.

You may be able to use the app FlashFire to flash an official stock rom directly from the phone. You could also flash a modem and bootloader with that app, but the problem is that it will only work while on a stock rom.
My suggestion is: Try and flash a stock rom using that app, and so, your modem and bootloader will be probably updated too. Then try to, either root, or flash a custom recovery back. I recommend TWRP for the recovery.
Rooting first then recovery
Or
Recovery first and then root
They both work.

My apologies to @xOwczarek for not reading more carefully
Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'm embarrassed but this error needed to be pointed out
Does the Odin error always occur after trying to write a certain file? What about using heimdall (http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/) to flash the firmware?
The stock rom came from sammobile.com? What bootloader is on the phone?
Nevermind i've used another pc and it pass! I've used this firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44775/I9505XXUHOB7_I9505XEOHOB3_XEO/
and orginal cable.
Thanks everyone for help
