N910F bootloader downgrade. - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a pretty simple question so please take 10 SECONDS out of your time if possible to give me an answer
So, if I flash the latest bootloader N910F COK2 (to install Kyubi ROM V6), am I going to be able to downgrade to an older bootloader, to try dr.ketans ROM for example (needs N910F OI3 bootloader)?

It should work.
I tried out COK2 a few days ago and there was a WIFI problem in that Rom i used, so i downgraded the Bootloader to COI3 and then i restored the backup of the system with the recovery

Go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your phone. Use Odin to flash it.
If you are rooted and have custom recovery like TWRP - do a nandroid first than once the stock has completed you can re-root, flash the custom recovery again and then restore system and data from the nandroid and you should be back to normal but with updated BL and modem.

Problems since lollipop DOC4 (SM-N900w8)

I have a SM-N900W8 canadian note 3. I just installed new DOC4 lollipop rom via odin. I did clean install by wiping data. I root with CF-Root and flash latest TWRP. Everything seems to work perfectly until i try to made some small mod to add datamobile button in quicksettings using this thread. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370
After it boots up to a black screen and a pop up shows up for nearly all of my apps that says they are not responding so all I get is that and a black screen. I reflash the rom via odin without wiping my data, re-root and everything went back fine and my mod works. ???!! I now have my datamobile button.
Later, i made a nandroid backup with TWRP. After reboot i got the same errors.... So i Reflash-rom, re-root, everything back to normal.
TO make a short story, everytime i access recovery or flash something in recovery or modify my system partition i got this errors....
I suspect having partition mismatched ... i don't know...
Any idea ???
Any help appreciated...
Which version of TWRP did you use? As far as I know, the latest only supports up to kitkat (4.4)
Maybe this is what causes your problems?
That's what i thought, I'm using the latest one (2.8.6.0). I ask other users in another thread and they said this version is working flawlessly with lollipop...
I have the same phone, and I flashed lollipop DOC4 using Odin yesterday, with CF-auto-root and TWRP 2.8.6.0.
I just tried (litterally minutes ago) adding the data toggle, and it worked, but I could not reproduce your problem.
Which version of TWRP did you use? The hltecan one or the hltexx?

1. Are you sure you installed correct TWRP? The correct one for your device: HERE.
2. Seems that mod for datamobile button doesn't work for your device. Reflash rom, re-root and don't install that mod. Try that update firmware for some days and tell me how it works :highfive:
I used HLTECAN 2.8.6.0. When i was on 4.4.2 NB7, i was using the same file and i had not problems at all. If you re-read my first post, i said my data toggle is working fine now but i needed to re-flash the entire rom without wiping data to get rid of the many apps errors. I guess i need to reflash everything from scratch... Will use another USB wire and another USB port. Maybe it'll help... Or maybe i should try another root method ??? I used CF-Root for SM-n900w8...
I suggest trying with hltexx, since it is the version I used, and I encountered no problem at all so far.
Let's check for any other difference between devices. I got :
Baseband N900W8VLUBMJ4
Bootloader N900W8UBUCNA2
PDA Version N900W8VLU2DOC4
CSC Version N900W8OYADOC4
Stock Kernel

Stock ROM Backup

Hi,
I have rooted and installed TWRP on my 910F Note4 as I was fed up waiting on the lollipop update rolling out. I am currently on 4.4.4 and have made a full backup using TWRP of the stock rom.
My intention was flashing the Cyanogen ROM and using that, but i now see on sammobile there is a stock 5.01 rom available. I have a few questions about this.
1. If I flash to Cyanogen can I still revert back to the stock rom 4.4.4 I have made a backup with? I read somewhere there might be problems as I was on KitKat then moved to lollipop(Cyanogen).
2. Can I flash the stock lollipop rom from within TWRP? Or do you have to do this via ODIN?
3. If I flash the Lollipop stock ROM with Odin I assume I will lose root and TWRP? So this would have to done again?
Guess I am asking what is the best way to proceed?
Thanks again
Paul

hi Paul,
1. i beleve to flash CM from kitkat you will need to install the lollipop bootloader first.
2. You have to flash the stock rom via Odin, you will keep all apps settings and files but you will lose root (you u can re root in 3 minutes)
Best thing you could do is flash the stock rom first with odin, see how that feels (IMO its good been using it for months now) and then root it and back it up and flash CM12 (you dont have to flash any boatloader at this point)

Ok tried to flash Stock O2 UK lollipop ROM via ODIN and got error message on screen. MD5 too big or something. Had to pull battery on phone. Had to then reflash TWRP. Got back into TWRP and tried to do a recovery of the backup I took but phone is stuck at Galaxy note 4 screen. It then shuts down and restarts and gets to the same screen again.
Do I try a different ROM? What can I do?
Thanks

I got it working by flashing the German non branded ROM... Got the error message again but then used a "All samsung recovery.tar" as stated on another post in here and it booted fine eventually... Now on Lollipop. Now time to flash with TWRP.... Again!!!
Please, i need help !
I need help, urgently !
My Note 4 SM-N910C does not work. I can enter the Recovery and the Download Mode. When attempting to install a Custom ROM gives me an error that says I have no data. In the internal memory I have 0mb.
I tried using odin, but I can not .. Salta error.
Someone who can make a backup of your phone (which is factory), leave me a link to download it? So I install the TWRP. Please.
They have another solution?
Thank you.:good:

emotion revolution on note 4

Hi,
I want to install emotion revolution and I have some questions:
- I have a SM-N910F with android 5.1.1 and baseband N910FXXU1COH4 Kernel 3.10.89-emotion-TW-5.1.1-nigltly-r21 . TWRP is installed and device is rooted. Can I directly flash or should I flash modem or bootloader first?
- Is the note 5 port release also working or note 4 or is there a specific one (didn't find anything)
Sorry if my questions are stupid, I'm a little bit lost with the version numbers COI4 COH4...
thanks
in advance

firmware version numbers are really simple.
the higher the letter in the alphabet, the newer the version.
that's all there is to it.
so COI is newer than COH.
the Emotion rom topic should have a clear explanation of how to flash it all though.
i think they even added the bootloader and modem that you need.
and a note 5 port...of course that works on a note 4, that's why it's called a port

1. You must update BL and Modem, else it won't work. Both are available on their homepage, and they're the same as for Emotion Revolution r10.1
2. The Note 5 port is working on the N910F. Be aware though that the Note 5 port "features" stock Samsung colours, i.e. it's plain ugly (IMHO ). That's what's keeping me from flashing it atm. Emotion Revolution r10.1 has a more stock Android colour scheme (e.g. b/w toggles), which I find much more pleasant to the eyes than Touchwiz turquoise. But unlike r10.1, the Note 5 port has a working Theme Store (should have at least), so it's probably possible to theme the ROM to your liking.
Hi, I tried to flash modem and bl with the files on the site. I ended with an unknown baseband and the Phone powering off after 2 minutes... I used odin and put the bl file in the bl section and the cp file un the ap section and clicked start. Is this wrong?
I flashed a stock rom to get the Phone working Alain.

good question. I saw a video telling it must be put in AP. I tried again and put it in CP but this gives the same result, baseband unknown and mobile restarting after 1 min...
any suggestion?

Hard to tell. I'd try this:
1. Flash BL and modem via Odin
2. Boot into recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.0)
3. Wipe /dalvik cache, /data, /system, /cache
4. Flash Emotion rom.
If that fails, download a COI3 stock rom from SamMobile, flash it via Odin, then try again.
Ah, the sweet moment when your phone finally boots up and runs. I can't tell how many times im the past years I believed I had murdered my phone.

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I also installed phone info. After the flash from modem and boot loader, phone info displays the new BL but an empty CP...
I also tryed to flash the COI3 modem and bootloader found on alexndr ROM but with the same result
Do you think it is because I flashed COI3 Modem on a COH4 firmware? This means that flashing emotion will "repair" it?
COI3 Firmware is not availlable for Switzerland for the moment...

Flashing a custom rom won't repair your modem. You can try, of course, but I doubt that will fix it. If nothing helps, you can start from scratch, flash the older OH4 firmware with Odin, make sure everything's working, then update BL and Modem, and flash Emotion rom. I hope you've made a backup of all your stuff?
