Flashing 5.1.1 on 910C - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I´m on Sweet Rom (5.0.1) and would like to know if I can flash a 5.1.1 Rom from Sammobile using Odin. Can I do it right away? or there´s gonna be a mess?. Thanks!
Excuse me!, I think this should have been posted on the "Noob Friendly" thread.

If you flash stock ROM through ODIN, you shouldn't run into problems, but just make to perform a factory reset to optimize the device. You will lose root, so do this at your own risk.

i'm portuguese and a noob, but i love try new custom roms, but since 4.4 updated, i'm stuck, pls help

It is possible that the newest MD5 has not been updated yet.
EDIT: Checksum I got from X-Note_Aroma_Build_9.0_NA7_KitKat_Public Matches fine.

So i have to try and try until the download file matches with md5?
Another question, do i have to update stock firmware to MBMENA7 before install the new rom v9 NA7?

Well it's supposed to match, but I never ever check my downloads..
Yes you need to update to Stock first before flashing (NA6 is OK no need for NA7)

Try flashing it even if the MD5 doesn't match, just have another ROM ready in case it doesn't work. Might just be an anomly that is causing the checksum issues.

I usually add Upgrade to Stock Kitkat via Odin >Root with cf-autoroot > Flash a custom Recovery > download custom ROM > flash via custom Recovery.
But thats because I need root and want to make sure my phone has rooted properly.....
Oh, and make sure the KK you flash ISN'T a branded rom - supplied by a foreign carrier as this can cause problems and may fail near end of ODIN flash...
No need to root when flashing a recovery :good:

Just make sure you have the latest cf-autoroot and that the CWM you install is greater than version 4.0.4.6... These are KK friendly, anything else will cause issues...

How can I see if the KK I flash isn't a branded rom or not?
I'm using the cwm 6.0.4.7 (it said friendly KK )I think so, I no longer near my pc but I will confirm that later.
Use XEO (Poland) KK which is unbranded

you could try an older version of kingo. 1.1.6 is what worked for me. I posted a link to my dropbox folder in the q & a thread where someone asked for it. I have heard vroot for other folks, but I never tried it.
Bonniecal said:
if kingo dont wortk then try to use kitkat if it support on your phone. then you can easily root your phone. kitkat is must helpful apps.

KitKat can't be rooted, you have to install a rooted KK ROM through an already rooted device in SafeStrap then install the firmware with Odin.

4.3 built in is better then KK. Most of app are not compatible with KK like ISIS wallet, Tap to Pay

This is not 100% accurate. You flash a ROOTED kitkat in SafeStrap and then flash the proper kernels and such in Odin. You are not flashing the full firmware using Odin.

The file you are flashing is 76MB. No Note 3 firmware is 76MB. You are flashing a kernel, modem and bootloader that are not included with the SafeStrap flash.

[Q] Help with installing Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery

Hi guys
Really struggling to find the Stock Kernel for my Note 3 and how to flash.
From what i've read on other forums, everyone seems to say you just flash stock ROM via Odin however this has proven not to be the case when i have flashed.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

so what your saying is that you tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN and the kernel did not revert back to stock kernel ?

Yes that's exactly right. to check if it was a one off i'm currently flashing stock ROM again via Odin as we speak.
it should work that way but if it still doesn't work, go into recovery and WIPE all and then reflash Stock.. that should work

[Q] As a first timer on samsung what do i need to do ?

Hey guys i just bought this international exynos note 3 (N900) and i have some questions about it ;
1. I want to install all the roms kernels and mods i could find but in order to do that (I'm %100 stock btw) ,do i need to first unlock the device ( i dont know how i couldnt find it), then root it with CF- Auto root( my warranty is over so i dont need to think about KNOX i think??) Then use the dd method to flash a recovery and flash whatever i want. Am i right about the things i said on all above ? Is there an easier way to do it ?
2. Do KNOX ever prevents me from flashing things in ODIN if something gets triggered ?
3. If i am not right about the first question starting from %100 stock what do i need to do to get this baby rockin ? I'm thinking about flashing a stock lollipop rom with a custom kernel and root ofc. Any suggestions ?
4. Do we need to flash modems from odin ? Because when reading the AryaMods thread i saw something about updating the modem. I'm on 4.4.2 right now. Can we flash modems or even kernels from recovery ?
Thanks already!!

There is no much of roms to choose for this one. 9005 is most supported here.
Root using cf auto root.
Make back up of ta partion/imei.
Flash recovery with odin. Then flash roms in twrp (watch the ere about how to use twrp or YT).
flash stock roms using odin.
Can't i just flash recovery from odin then flash a custom rom after that without rooting ? Thanks!

If you are going to flash roms based on lollipop, update your phone to latest stock rom for your model using odin so you get latest bootloader.
Dude, you need root access to access system and write to it. Don't custom roms require root, if you take a look? (don't answer to this [emoji61] )
If you want that way, flash twrp with ? odin. Then flash supersu for your model using twrp. That way too you get root. Then flash roms after (read rom instructions).
Ask if all wondering. ?

No my question was; not rooting the device in the first place before flashing the recovery and the rom. The roms already comes with the root in it. So just to be clear first upgrade the base to lollipop from odin then flash a recovery and lastly flash a lollipop rom. Would this be your sequence when you just bought a new note 3 ?

Flash latest firmware then custom recovery then flash the custom rom of your choice. No need to root after flash official firmware but it's good to root first as you may want to backup efs before you start messing the phone. I backed up the efs for the past 1.5years but so far never need it.

Edit: I couldn't find the 5.0 version for my device the latest one is 4.4.2 for SM-N900Q. But there are 5.0 versions for SM-N900 for india and such. Can i flash one of them ? Does it interfere with anything so like just for a base ?

I tried to downgrade back to kitkat in odin but when I try to flash the stock firmware ending in ANG it says "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2> Binary 1". Can someone please help me out with this? I don't want to be stuck on 6.0.1 i'm having too many problems. Thanks!
Downgrade with Odin is limited to BOK3.
Downgrade to kitkat is possible, but tricky a little.

It seems rather complicated. I had a look at that forum along with many others. I'm on marshmallow right now. How can I successfully flash to G900VVRU2BPB1 if the kitkat didnt work? The instructions in the forum don't explain very well and doesn't say if you can return to kitkat. Do I have this right?

You can easily flash BPB1 with Odin, but don't forget to perform a factory reset after flashing.
You can also easily flash BOK3, BPB1, DPD1, DPF4, DPG2, DPJ2, DPL1, DPA1, DPB2, DQC2, DQD1, DQF2, DQH2 and DQI2 with Odin.
The first two are LP, the others are MM.

Right:
Yes, if you flash BPB1 in Odin then you're on LL.
No, you cannot just flash back to KK in Odin.

I followed the guide but once I got on to lollipop I tried to root with King root that was provided in lolliroot and it was not successful. Said "root method not available". I then tried to root with towelroot and was not successful. I was able to get back to 6.0.1 for now. I'm a bit upset that I followed the guide and it didn't work. Any suggestions on how else to root 5.0 and get back to 4.4.2 kit kat? Thanks!
