Is there any custom roms that keep all s pen functions or a deodexed 5.0.1 stock? Tried looking but can't find any.

hi ,
hi ,
it seems you have a N 910F ? unlock ..etc ?
if so,read thread by dev @ _alexndr It is a repack of official stock N910F and has multi CSC ( this link )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/rom-unofficial-repacked-lollipop-t3105093
i flashed .............. ...COH4 ( v 5.1.1 ) and see it is a deodexed Rom .
He also has POF2 listed that is a v 5.0.1 Rom ( i am not sure if deodexed , but it should be ? )
Plse make sure it is correct Rom for your device .
good luck
I am running default 5.0.1
bootloader N910fxxu1boc5
Baseband n910fxxu1boc4
Csc n910fxxu1bob2
Pda n910fxxu1boc5

hi,
if you are satisfied its your correct device unlock N910F, then your options is..
1 st one you upgrade to Android v 5.1.1 the other
2 nd is the same Android version you are on currently, Android v 5.0.1.
It depends what you want to do.... upgrade phone to Android v 5.1.1 or rather stay on v5.0.1 ?
i am on version 5.1.1 and see it is deodexed
as stated in my earlier post i think other Rom should also be deodexed.
If your purpose is to try and get Xposed framework onto device, i have seen in thread same thread (somewhere, with a relevant link) to a zip file for N910F for Android v5.1.1, to flash to get Xposed working.
I am not really interested in Xposed framework , as i had it on my device with certain modules, when i was still on Android v 4.4.4.. really good and cool, but it directly and indirectly "broke" stuff on my phone even after uninstalling
so i cannot help much in that direction.
it's your choice what Rom you want to flash.. the v5.0.1 or v5.1.1
Just to add since upgrading from Android v4.4.4. to Lollipop and when i was still on v 5.0.1 , I have flashed about 5 x different countries Roms.. as updated 5.0.1 versions became available (I was originally on Vodafone, but had unlock bootloader) it does not matter as long as you ave unlocked bootloader and you are sure Rom is correct one for you device N910F.
Yes of course, you must know how to flash... otherwise search XDA threads , Google or check YouTube for tutorials on subject.
good luck
Is it okay to flash another country 5.1.1 for n910f? As far as I am aware 5.1.1 is not out in the UK.

hi
yes , the N910F stock deodexed v5.1.1 Rom of @_alexndr in relevant thread is a multI CSC ( UK included ) Rom .As pointed out by me in earlier post certain requirements do apply device /phone
has to be same ..Eg ... N910F and unlock bootloader
I flashed Roms from UK ,Netherlands ,Germany , NEE countries and many others etc .
A few "pointers " below .....................................
Also if not sure hows "something" is done ,search for answers ..XDA and Youtube videos helps calm the nerves .
Google is your friend if you don't understand a meaning /term or problem .
and remember common "fixes " eg .if flashing and you get into "bootloop " and don't know what to do ...check that you pc has correct drivers for phone installed ( installing KIes should install drivers) ,
your USB cable is correct not faulty , USB port is ok . Flash Rom again .
Also when downloading ROM make sure its not corrupted .( check MD5 sum of download (if available )
Do your "homework/ research " regarding what you want to do ..!!
Also be aware of the risk involved .
Don't blame other members if you " slipped up."
good luck

hi ,
i am on v5.1.1 ( same repack ) as you Yes ,i have root .
it is actually very very straightfoward .
1. first download install custom recovery TWRP vers 2.8.7.0 via odin .
Here is link to TWRP V2.8.7.0
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4qualcomm.html
Choose International.... N910F to check if you happy ..right version ?
or direct download
https://dl.twrp.me/trltexx/
first top one choose "twrp-2.8.7.0-trltexx.zip 13M " download if you happy its correct ?
2. then download a permissive kernel ..it is stock kernel just that @ zamcum enable it to accept root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-5-1-1-selinux-enforcing-t3190799
link to download , is in post # Thanks to @ zamcum
3 . You can then download @ chainfire BETA SuperSU v2.49 zip link to download in first post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
( keep chainfire zip ,as a backup, if TWRP does not root device )
Instructions to follow...........
Start by opening Odin and place your phone in download mode etc and flash TWRP with ODIN
After TWRP installs and reboots etc ..(.what i did) ..don't go to TWRP recovery yet
i connected phone to laptop /pc and place mod /permisive kernel zip on root of your device .(phone )
disconnect USB from pc .etc
Switch phone off .
then "old story" to get to recovery ..... volume UP + PowerButton + Home button
Give time to boot to TWRP and navigate in TWRP menu to where you can see the kernel.zip and flash with TWRP .......after flashing TWRP will ask if you want to reboot ..."say yes " and reboot
TWRP will then offer to root your device ..Yes and let TWRP root device ...afterwards it will request to update the "binaries " yes allow ......thats it !!!!!
Otherwise if this step( TWRP not offering to root ) is missed .....you will then most probably have to flash chainfire SuperSU zip with TWRP (as the permissive kernel was flashed before ,device should then let you flash SuperSU )
Important plse note......
TWRP offered to root my device and i said yes ..thus not using chainfire zip at all !!!! it was only for backup use )
Plse note(tip )
if you "slip up/error " and get into a bootloop you'll have to flash ROM v 5.1.1 again and start again This was not necessary for me and all was plain sailing .
very straightforward !!
good luck
Bottom line... please note ,
above method will trip Knox..but yes mine was tripped in OCTOBER 2014..!!
Otherwise there is no other way around Knox at moment ..for those members who cares ??
Yeah when I hold volume up, home and power button I just get could not boot normally. Then it is in download mode

hi, yeah, sometimes you battle to get it right.
Remember not volume down.. but volume up...!
first time i did try to get into recovery i watched a short YouTube video....on how to (way back then)
All i can say best is
Switch phone off... then with left hand above volume Up and your right hand over power and home button.
Press all three Volume up +Power button +Home button .. same time .. when phone boots.. let go of power on fist Samsung (timing is important otherwise you end up in download mode.
If you cannot get it right just Google.. something like.. "Note 4 how to boot into recovery mode /TWRP" and watch video
Its actually easy if you know.. but yes first time or so you battle..
Bottom line
is if TWRP did not.. take. Flash TWRP again and try. combo again.
If stuck.. pull battery..
If Samsung bootloop then flash Rom again
All in all it should take less than 10/20min or so to flash this......... (TWRP with Odin , flash kernel with TWRP.
Then all TWRP to root and update binaries.)
Its just like you on a learning curve.. so just relax
think positive
Good luck

hi, yes thats understandable... you are rooted now !
You must freeze Security policy updates use Titanium(use search button in Titanium to find and freeze... . gone..!
It is this that is giving you the warnings.
Also freeze all Knox in Titanium (search)
You will find about 5....6..7 Knox clearly marked.. you can freeze them all if you are sure its knox related otherwise leave.
Knox can interfere with your root.. logic
good going
good luck
post entry
Also you will see in your app an app called Smart Manager (present in Android v5.1.1 )
If you click on it you will see 4 big icons.. bottom right with shield.. you will see.. "Threat found" and if you click on this it will tell you to reboot.. ignore.. Its just the root and stock selinux permissive kernel (which you know about ! ) (Samsung way of scaring you.)
I actually also freezed Smart Manager, will see if it causes any errors if not will keep it like that.

Sorry about your phone
I in no way regret having bought a S4. I swapped it for my old S2 and I haven't had a single problem yet :good:
CF-Root and CWM (Chenglu version) works perfect and so do Titanium Backup.
As far as I know S4 i9505 have been very difficult in the matter of getting proper root and recovery.
In such a case a good advice might be to hold back flashing a bit!
So to be honest to you ... I think you just did something you shouldn't have done and IMO you only have your self to blame!

i think i do 1 error is to use this new flasher to flash phil recovery .
for all other thing i do that with s2 and s3 without any pbm.
a bad move this time i'll give it to SAV and see
CF-AUTO-ROOT is like the greatest and one of the most easiest way to get root, I don't understand why he didn't root it that way?

I don't understand what he is saying? computer to change? huh?
I'm very to new to all this (SGS4 is my first smartphone ever) and don't want a bricked phone. Just here to gain more knowledge.
ps To lighten things up a bit, I regret a lot of things as well, like my first 3 wives.:silly: JK
finally no regrets
I do nothing wrong the firmware of S4 is young and very buggy that is the pbm !!!
about recovery i am used with recovery of S2 and S3 the recovery of S4 is ridiculous it's very small you must use a magnifier for read it and after a wipe the droid is red and it's written no data !!!! that's worried me but when i see an untouched S4 i understand !!!
for some app going quickly in standby mode after 2 or 3 flash it's gone i think it's a bad flash the first time, i hope that not come back...
i hope a lot of update a lot of new firmware that's the only thing can solve the multiples bug of youth.
to resume the S4 is really a nice phone

hi all this is my fist post for the s4 and i think someone will flame a bit for my noob level
im not completely noob in first case ,i had an hd2 for 3 year and changed all OS and Android roms like a paranoid for better performance and so on
i have by 2 months this fantastic phone s4 italian version i9505 not branded so i think its the same of all of u
now i tested it for long time in stock mode its come the time to try everything i can but i have lots of doubds watching all guides i found
first question...is there a step by step guide for flash a new rom? i found someone to change kernel with odin but i still dont understand how to install clockwork to the phone to install a rom
second question..as i come from hd2 it had to be unlocked from bootloader before u can install maglr or other stuff but i didnt see anything about this on the s4,i suppose its because its not needed but ask before brick its always a good way to proceed
i read about most of i found in noob sticked post but or i missed something or i really need to read again everything,if someone can link me a guide it will be very appreciated cos sometime i confuse things to do and in wich order
thx for everyone will give me any hint and sorry for my english hehe
first q
some roms have diffrent but for most this works
1,backup
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.install zip from sd card
4 chose zip from sd crd
5./0
6 chose rom and wait
7 reboot
nope in i9500 and i9505 im not 100% sure just 99% u can ask someone else
btw didnt understand well and sorry for my english my hands are oily can't type well

If you want to flash a modem via ODiN you have to power off the phone completely and boot into download mode!! Power+Volume down, and
Using advanced/extended reboot menus or any other way to boot the phone directly from system to download mode will always end up in a failed flashing process - the modem will not be flashed!
!!! Always power off the phone before !!!

Well not to worry if you are willing to let go of 3G until a Stock Rom is released for the device

Wait. Is this really possible??? I don't even use 3g, I just bought it because it was the only option avaliable at my country (Brazil).
EDIT:
Let me see what I'm supposed to do: root, flash custom recovery, flash the roms plus gapps? Just these things or there is something more?

Can you please show me your screenshots?

Same here , I dont use 3G , I tether it with my phone . But its good to have phone calling option
What I did -
1. Flash Twrp , when in TWRP , when you select reboot it asks if you want to root .. select yes
2. Download the ROMS to your External Sd , FORMAT everything except external SD card using TWRP, Install the downloaded ROMs using TWRP
3.Enjoy!
It works cuz both p600 and p601 are Exynos.

Yeah, I'm so lazy, I remember that I've ask myself if both had the same specs a very long time ago but I never have search it, anyway, now I know. I'm pretty much excited then, lol. Maybe I'll do video tutorial if possible otherwise I'll just give my report.
But, I don't have an external sd card, well, I think I don't but it's probably hidden somewhere deep inside my bedroom, I'll try figure out some way to get done it otherwise I'll find one sd card for me. Pretty much thanks! :laugh:

You can do it without an external sd , wipe everything except internal sd where the downloaded file is.
But I feel fully deleting keeps it as an clean install
Thanks for this info....but I would like to flash stock kitkat, how can I do it via Odin? It says fail whenever I try
no odin here too ..

Yep flashing through odin dint work for me either .
I believe something tells odin that the device is p601 and not p600, I found out this workaround by chance , so thought I'd share :silly:

thanks buddy, very usefull, in India its same situation, stupid samsung thinks they can just fool ppl by not relesing updates on time or with their other versions...anyways, I have few questions pls
1) the rom thread says its only for wifi model...so is it safe to flash those roms on our P601 ?
2) can you pls give link to TWRP recovery you flashed and steps to flash it for the first time on stock unrooted p601 pls ?
3) link to ODIN which will work to flash TWRP and stock roms
4) is flashing custom kernels really needed and does everything else work except 3g ?
5) last but most importantly, can we flash stock indian rom when we need to revert back to stock and sell device...roms are available in sammobile.com
I'm going to wait for stock Rom ... 2 or 3 days later u can have it !!!

Yes its safe , I have been personally using P600 roms for quite sometime and except for 3G all is well . ( Though I would love it if some one can make 3G Work too )
You can download Odin and TWRP that I use from this link -
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iiaw32zz04gm1zj/Cxj7NdCJHI
Flashing Custom Kernels is not mandatory at all , tho they do have some good stuff like some touchscreen tweaks , and Ram tweaks & other complex tweaks .
Yes , when you want to sell your tablet you can flash using Odin any Stock Rom from sammobile . I have done this too :good:

I seriously f***** up for the first time while trying to flash a custom rom on my cousin's Note 3 SM-N900. I was able to install TWRP and i proceeded to flash a custom rom directly from within TWRP. I kind of got ahead of myself and proceeded to delete/wipe/erase just about everything on the phone before flashing (dalvik, wipe data, cache etc..) and then i proceeded to Install the custom rom directly within TWRP.
Yes i agree i was careless and ****ed up quite a bit but i was so sure it would not go wrong. But it did. Now the phone only loads the initial 'Samsung SM-N900' boot screen and then goes to black. I can still access TWRP and Download modes at will but i am unable to flash a rom or a stock firmware that will work on the phone. I dont know if i ****ed up the bootloader, modem, kernel, etc, but i reckon i did some pretty good damage.
But the fact i can still access TWRP and Download modes gives me hope that i get right my wrongs with your guidance! Please guys help a poor soul out!
So what did you flash or is it a secret rom ?
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I first flashed a ROM called Dilshad ROM v8, then when it did not work, i flashed AURORA rom, then Cyanogenmode 13 for note 3 N900 and finally i tried flashing a random stock firmware i downloaded from sammobile page for N900.

Did you use the correct TWRP version ?

Yup i have. TWRP 3.0.2-0 installed correctly on the SM-N900. I can access it even when the screen goes black after the first boot screen by pressing the combination buttons (power + volume up + home)

I HAVE READ THE POST + REPLIES!! Though , he said he flashed a random samsung software.. But how should i know if he did it with the tar.md5 or flashed it as a regular zip... I'm just a guy tryin to help, so any extra addition may help so don't just regard that as useless
Since term flashing is mostly used with recovery mode, so did he put it on download mode and BL the offical bootloader and PA/PDA the software that supports the same bootloader?
am unable to flash a rom or a stock firmware
stock firmware i downloaded from sammobile page for N900.

An idea that is maybe a bit risky is to put back the normal (stock) recovery and try to restore update from sd card or something like that... I'm not sure how safe it is so use it as a least resort... I didn't even hear anything like that its just an idea, it may not work... But hope it helps
Hi
I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you
I understood I had to flash PIT file NO NO NO .
You don't flash a PIT file without good reason .
SM900 is EXYNOS not Qualcomm model .
So what phone model do you actually have as this threads question is N900 .
Ok sorry I have 9005.
