Trying to revert back to stock rom N910F - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm trying to revert back to the stock rom on my N910F (UK purchase - unlocked) but no matter which firmware I download via Sammobile, it just isn't working! It says "FAILED" on Odin when flashing. The only firmware that seems to work is N910FXXU1COH4_DevBase_alexndr - but this version has constant knox notifications and I'm giving my phone to a family member who doesn't want root or anything because she's not very good with phones, she also wants the stock rom installed only.
Can anybody advise me on where I'm going wrong or the firmware I need to install? Should I attempt 5.0 instead of 5.1? Thanks in advance!

Make absolutely sure you have the proper firmware, (correct country code) and so on..
Also..do you have a custom recovery installed.? IF so, you'll probably need to flash the stock recovery from the OS your needing to revert..after stock recovery is working, then flash the firmware..

Make shure to use the genuine USB cable and don't use USB 3 port

[Q] Can I upgrade to 4.4?

So when I first got my note I imediately used this guide to flash kitkat and completely ****ed it up, it just stuck on the Samsung n9005 screen.
This was a link to C4ETech's video called "Galaxy Note 3 - Samsung Official Kitkat 4.4.2 - How to Flash/Install" but I had to remove it.
I assumed it was something to do with the CSC code (mine being BTU) so I installed a BTU rom using this guide.
This was a link to TheSmokingAndroid's video called "HOW TO UNBRICK & UNROOT SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3" but I had to remove it.
Now I want to install a kitkat rom preferably a stock one but there isn't one for BTU. So I looked at the custom roms as some support BTU but require the device to be on 4.4 already. How can I get onto 4.4 if every 4.4 rom requires a 4.4 phone? Will I have to wait until an official BTU update comes out?
I've attached a screenshot of my About Phone page (which doesn't have BTU anywhere, I don't get it).
I probably have the complete wrong end of the stick so sorry for wasting everyone's time but if you have a minute to help I'd really appreciate it.

Try *#1234# might come up there. Anyways, go over to Sammobile and grab any of the latest 4.4.2 KitKat ROMs for your device (9005) as you said. And it should work fine.
Advice: Wipe your phone, not compulsory but advisable. Cheers!
I have a canadian variant note 3 900w8 and i want to flash 4.4.2 as well but i was hoping to flash the t-mobile version as i have heard of issues with the 9005 rom compatibility, just wondering if anyone has had experience yet, or if it has been done.

Thanks for your help but I've already done that and the newest version I can get is 4.3 I'll just wait until my phone gets the update, Thanks anyway
I've managed to get onto 4.4 now by flashing a polish ROM after reading that they support BTU, I don't know how to delete this thread so I'm just letting everyone know my issue is resolved

If you want the ability to flash back to 4.3 from 4.4, install custom recovery and roms and keep your Knox 0x0, head over here and do some reading ( if you haven't been there already ).

Once you root, you can't update via phone any more. You'll have to download the firmware and flash with Odin.
Thanks ! If I download a firmware from lets say sammobile, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna loose root, right ?
Is it going to working anyway even if I'm rooted ? I remember the old days when we couldn't flash stock firmwares when rooted (yes, been a long time since I used stock roms).
Does flashing new firmware means mandatory full wipe ?
Flash with mobile Odin and you can root+inject supersu+install mobile Odin in the same time. Did that today on S5 international (F) and mobile Odin 4.20

"un" brand - "de" brand?

My N4 910F, bought from Swedish 3.. Is it possible to download a new firmware and via Odin reflash a stock clean rom? Example from Poland, Uk or any other similar nearby country? My S5 was from the open market and when lollipop came ill used a firmware from Poland, long before it came to sweden.. And that work fina, but, that phone was not from 3.
Sammobile have a 3 based firmware, ill think. (sweden 3 - 4.4.4) but also Nordic NEE 4.4.4
Yes you can' if you want DBT/BTU/ is perfect fastest, cleaner, bug free
Thanks ?
Maybe its possible to use lollipop 5.0.1 or must i use a 4.4.4 firmware first?
Anyway, Thanks! ?
It's up to you if you want you can install lollipop and if you want you can downgrade to kitkat as well
I answer my self to maybe help any else..
I'll flashed back and away my rooted 4.4.4 orginal firmware.. After i replaced it with LP 5.0.1 German firmware.. After first start i flash cf autoroot, then philz.. To be 100% sure i boot in to recovery and did a factory reset.. My N4 works perfectly! But.. 3 apps from Swedish 3 is still there? I can delete them but i find it strange?! My bootup logo from 3 is gone..
Before installing and after installation do full factory reset from recovery

Flash new firmware

Hey all!
So, I've got a Note 3 SM-N9005 but I've got this issue. When I try to update my Kitkat to Lollipop it says "Your device have been modified, Software updates are not available". I did have it rooted around a year ago and when I click 'Status' at the device info screen, it says 'modified', so I guess that's the issue.
Either way, I'd like Lollipop since I've heard it can solve the bad wifi connection issue, but I have no clue on how to install the new firmware safe and sound on my Note 3.
Does someone have any tips for me on where to find the newest stock firmware and how to flash it on my device? Or how to remove the 'Modified' status so I can get the update over the air?
Thanks in advance!
P.s. My Knox isn't void, it still says 0x0

Yeah I read a lot already, but most of it is dated back at least a few months. And I thought, since this is an expert forum.
Should I just backup everything (like put everything on my computer and use some software to backup game data + sms data etc.) and use Kies? Or should I use Odin and download stock firmware from Sammobile? I'm really not an expert and I don't want to **** it up and brick my phone.
Have a look in the developer section, there are several different custom ROM you can use, I currently have the Phronesis ROM on my Note3 it's a Lollipop Note5 ROM and it is working very good with all the Note5 features such as screen note on lock screen etc.
hi, backup all to your pc and download stock rom and flash with odin or custom rom, but if you want ota flash stock

Marshmallow bootloader?

Hi guys,
I have just been trying to go from a custom rom (Older Dr Keaton Rom) to marshmallow.
I downloaded the marshmallow firmware and after flashing in PC Odin I now get " Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I have no certainty but suspect that it needs a different bootloader?
This is the marshmallow stock uk rom,
N910FXXS1DPH8_N910FO2U1DPG2_N910FXXU1DPB1_HOME.tar
I have a N910F Note 4.
Can anyone help me get this back to a working stock rom?
EDIT* I have the phone working on an old rom based on Boc 5.
So still how to get it to Marshmallow. Is it different bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

I am in exactly the same position, coming from the same rom to marshmallow with the 910F. how did you fix it?
Anyone can help me?
Hi,
I can't remember how I fixed it, but I think it was just down to getting the correct rom to load into it. I am sorry but it was ages ago so I cant be sure...
It was either that I just found a rom that worked or changed the bootloader.
Good luck mate
