Hi all,
After just over a year I finally want to flash my Note 4 for a couple of reason, but mainly as 5.0.1 is annoyingly stupid and having several issues with it.
So I do want 5.1.1, I do not want to lose S-pen/S-health features as I use those, but do want something that is as lightweight and quick as possible.
Also ideally I don't want to lose my Barclays app (I pretty much do 99% of banking through the app) and thus do not really want it rooted - unless and suggestions around that.
So what roms would people suggest?
Thanks.
Most ROMs come pre-rooted I think, best bet is to update to 5.1.1 through Odin and then do a clean factory reset to start a fresh.?

Thanks, the only reason for not rooting is damn barclays app, but suppose I could just use the website login.
If you are going to flash a stock rom u don't need to root, and remember to backup your data before flashing because u have to reset your device after installing the rom.
Best wishes

I have a weird problem with my S5 900f running Lollipop BTU. Rooted with chainfire. Issue is that after rooting when i restart my phone it sometimes says "android is updating and then everythig starts crashing....system is not responding etc etc" i have disabled sytem updates aswell . First i thought it was cuz of Twrp and i flashed stock recovery with flashify but still happened today.........it happens randomly while restarting my phone and then if it gets stuck i have to go to recovery and hit "clear cache and clear update from cache" to be able to boot.....i have also tried different firmwares any clue why this might be happening?

You have to flash stock firmware with odin but first you have to full wipe with twrp recovery end after flash firmware because your root is filed end after you may try to root again

I am on boc7, my root isnt broke....it works. I just have this crashing problem which comes out randomly at reboots after rooting. On one of the reboots Android shows android is updating after which everything crashes. If i dont root it never happens and phone works fine.
What you are used for root ur device?

After you root the supersu must update in self end if you don't have mods maybe some app cause android is updating on boot

My GF needs a updated (stable) VZ TW rom for her S5. I don't remember how to flash a stock VZ ROM to my girlfriend's S5 using twrp without locking the bootloader? Any help would be great. Thanks. And any suggestions on stock TW ROMs?
Anybody?

Since the lock info is almost completely contained in Qfuses on the SoC, it should work just fine to put a normal verizon rom on it...I don't know why you wouldn't just use an AOSP rom though...
Thanks. It is for my GF....she's needs the stability. And on CM ROMs the GPS doesn't work. Maybe I can convince her to try something different though. Ha.
You can flash this.

It flashes recovery, though--make sure you don't do that if you don't want it.
Thanks. Will give it a try tonight
Nope didn't boot. Gave it about 13min
I had to flash TWRP in Odin to restore.... (A scary couple of minutes. Lol)
You really can't brick these things. Just create an unbrick image (there's a thread about somewhere around here) and put it on an sdcard. I'm serious--I absolutely hosed my phone (no bootloader) and that brought it right back.
Of course, I'm not issuing a _challenge_

Thanks...I'm using twrp, I was using Phil's. But I'll don't remember. When I get back into town I'll try again. Is there an update to twrp maybe? I would rather use a cm ROM but I could never get the GPS to pick up satellites.
HI all,
I'm used to just sticking a couple of zips in Odin and calling it a day, but it looks like in the past couple of years Flashfire / Safestrap have become the go-to method for flashing our phones.
I am interested in flashing this Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/bsfreelollipop5-0rombpb1based-t3331541 Unfortunately there aren't any clear instructions on how to do so with Flashfire for someone who hasn't done that before. My S5 is currently running 4.4.4 / NK2 and is rooted.
I tried to correlate other Flashfire instructions threads with this ROM but nothing has been clear enough for me. The Play store beta link for flashfire just gives a 404.
Can someone be kind enough to please provide the proper link to get the right version of Flashfire, and some clear instructions on how to flash this ROM with it?
Thank you so much!

I was just getting ready to flash the T2 KitKat tar and just go back to KK since my N4 became unusable on MM due to shutdowns, non restarts and I guess just plain overheating running MM.. MM has done something to a lot of N4's tons of folks getting shutdowns at 20% or less of charge..etc. I have to let it cool for hrs or stick it in the freezer to get it to boot back up.. thus, the return to KK.. then I see this!.. downloading now and may give it try before returning to 4.4.4...

I am running this new update and so far everything is good.marshmallow is very well optimized only mistake many users do is they dont do factory reset after each update.
Flash firmware and immediately do factory reset so you can get clean fresh operating system.
I know factory reset sucks and pain in the ass to restore apps and stuff but trust me it's worth it.
The 20℅ shutdown battery issue i made complete tutorial how to fix it.

Is there any issue with rooting these later builds?
And.. your talking to a guy that wipes his internal storage with each ROM change..
so factory resetting is not an issue with me..
When these things updated back in Sept/Oct my N4 went from a Perfectly Working device to one that, I could pull it out and it would be shut off.. then.. it got to a point it would not come back on without letting it set for a WHILE.. or needed to be cooled in the freezer.. so I put it down and got a Zmax Pro.. GREAT phone but it cannot be rooted ( Screw You ZTE ) I want root.. so I'm willing to go back to whatever version of Android makes this device the most stable or this latest version.. as long as it can be rooted
Im still a rookie

After flash your device will reboot 2 times so dont freak out just let it boot completely.
Your bootloader is unlocked if it is locked you cannot able to flash twrp

It makes it very hard for Linux/Firefox users, who just want to download the file directly, and use a download manager like DownThemAll to handle large downloads. I can't download anything from that Website.

First before do anything make a back up in twrp of your current rom go to twrp and back up and backup ( boot/system/data/efs/modem). Then you can try things i mentioned below cuz if anything goes wrong you can easily restore your current backup rom without losing anything.
1,Uninstall bloatware system apps you dont use to make your device run more smoothly.
2, install adaway adblocker to disable adds in apps and browser.
4,install busybox to make root more stronger.
3,you can install xposed modules.
4,you can install lucky patcher to hack many games.
5,
And much more the lists are endless but be careful what you are doing and make sure to backup otherwise things can go wrong anytime try on your own risk.
Any issues running this on the N910T(NON 3 Version)

So far i did not have any issues with this firmware i am running from 4 days and no heating issues at all and games run butter smooth.
Make sure do clean install do factory reset before and after flash firmware you will get clean operating system.
Hope that helps

Hi everyone,
quick question - bought myself the galaxy s8 (G950F) and as a new member to the Samsung community, can you tell me how does this whole Knox works?
Once I root the phone, and than install a custom ROM, there is any way to change/reset the Knox level?
Are the warranty is completely gone while I do that?
If it is, that also apply for physical fault (like burned pixel etc)?
And in general, is it worth it? Is there much benefits for the custom roms or is the stock version is just fine
Thanks in advance!
Not sure about warranty but cannot restore Knox once rooted
Why were you planning to root?

I don't believe so, the only roms available are still based on samsungs touchwiz, if aosp would be available then i would root the phone. Don't root it unless you actually have a need to do it. You can block ads without root with adhell from the playstore.
