1. You can download the latest firmware for your device: HERE. Follow the pics attached (The download is slow like a turtle but be patient).

Same problem with me.I have the same korean varient with LG u+ logo. I am using it in Pakistan. Read almost every thread regarding korean variants but there is'nt any method specific for SM-N900L.

So are you wanting to flash a custom recovery e.g. twrp and then install a custom rom?
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Hello Hokage-Sama,
i think the custom recovery installed is TWRP
did some further searching online and i was able to restore the firmware from lollipop down to kitkat, from there i was able to download a md5 file which i ran from Odin and i was able to root the phone however, its based on kitkat and im still searching if there are any for lollipop and the only one i see if the 1 poser who asks for a $25 payment to update a N900L to N9005.
... was hoping if i can use Aryamod custom rom but i think my phone should be on a rooted lollipop under N9005 model only.
hope this made sense
thank you

Root is not required to install a custom rom.
If your phone can run 9005 ROMs, you could try editing the updater script to include your phone.

hi, thanks for the reply
apologies i dont know what you meant to edit hte updater script.
Sorry i have a N900L and based on reading some other threads only
DarkLord Note 5 RC2.1 or Phronesis v5.1 will work on my unit.
before installing the rom i should have a custom recovery right? but to get a custom recovery my bootloader needs to be unlocked first.
i am currently stuck on unlocking my bootloader, i downloaded samsung usb drivers, go to recovery mode, then insert the usb on the phone, i hear a sound when you connect a device on the pc and saying that the device is ready to use but i am unable to see the contents of my phone.
am i doing it correctly?
thank you once again

Are you sure the phone's bootloader is locked? If the bootloader is not locked, do not use any unlocking apps because this will proably brick the phone.
Just install TWRP from Odin. I don't recommend Philz Touch or CWM as I don't they have been updated for a while.

i tried the twrp custom recovery based on the link you sent above thru Odin, it messed up my custom recovery, when i tried to go there it said something like unable to load recovery and goes to download mode and the phone wont startup normally.
is that a sign that my bootloader is locked since i cant install the custom recovery?
used my standard backup recovery to bring back the phone.
i wonder how other SM-N900L users installed their roms.
any other help would be greatly appreciated
thanks a lot

When you flashed twrp, did Odin say the installation was successful?
Download the tar version of twrp for your device from here: twrp.me .
In Odin, do not check anything except f.reset time. Flash twrp and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, now use button combination to boot into recovery.

thanks for the help, was finally able to install twrp custom recovery. the latest version wont work on SM-N900L, i used TWRP-2.8.6.0-N900S version and it worked! im now running on Darklord N5 custom rom for Note3 and loving it!!!

[Q] N9100 China Dual Sim ROOT for 5.1.1

I just updated my phone to OK1 firmware running on 5.1.1. This si the China variant and not hong kong. I was wondering if there is a working root for this firmware? I've tried the CF auto root of the 4.4.4 version but it sends me into a bootloop. I've searched everywhere but can't find anything. Any help will be appreciated.

I can't root N9100 android 5.1.1 (N9100ZCU1COK1) by root file CF-Auto-Root-trltechn-trlteduoszc-smn9100.zip for android 4.4.4.

Then is there no way to root for that firmware?

anyone? desperately need Gapps on my phone right now...

Hi. I have installed an aurora rom with version 5.1.1 N9100ZCU1COK1 and I'm rooted. But I just kept the root that I had before updating so I didn't use CF-Auto-Root or anything else this time... have you tried kingroot?

If your n4 is sm-n9100, bought from China, you can directly flash TGY n9100 rom, I got my n4 couple days before(SM-N9100, trlteduoszh), original rom is China version: N9100CHC1COK1-5.1.1, then just download TGY rom, N9100ZZH1BOF2, which is the latest TGY rom, android version: 5.0.1. After odin flash, do doubble wipe, then everythings just fine. like the orignial hongkong N9100, of casuse you get the stock google apps.
I got ota information yesterday, tgy rom got update to N9100ZHU1COL2-5.1.1, I'm not sure to do update, cos I'd heard 5.1.1 won't get root for the new "reactivation lock" issue, anyone have experience of root your tgy 5.1.1?

Chainfire has a new autoroot for N9100 5.1.1. You can download it HERE

Check post #60 in THIS thread.

SM-N9100 runing Adroid 5.1.1 rooted successfully.
I followed the following link and successfully rooted mine without any problems.
(sorry. I'm not allowed to post an outside link. Google "How to root Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9100 Android Lollipop 5.1.1" and you should be able to find the article on recovery-mode.com)
Good luck!

I recently bought N9100 in china and then I flashed my new phone with the latest stock rom N9100ZHS1CPE1 (Hongkong) android 5.1.1 via odin. Worked perfectly. No issues.

Thanks for your reply rjma, I had 6.0.1 and I used CF-Auto-Root for 6.0.1 to root but it didn't work, it got stuck on boot screen with some errors. That's why I downgraded to 5.1.1 because 6.0.1 doesn't have google appps.

I eventually rooted the phone and it's too easy to be true. I downloaded it's specific twrp, flashed it via Odin without the battery so it won't boot up after flashing, then boot into twrp recovery and flashed SuperSU.

N9100 only supports B7, it does not support B2 and B4. And this is the reason why you get a weak signal (B7 is high frequency with poor coverage).

Using the custom recovery posted above I managed to get root. just boot in download mode and remove the battery after that, flash twrp recovery from above link with odin (you can make a flashable .tar.md5 yourself or just use this one:
https://mega.nz/#!xNslVYLa!zDQdqxVyam7H2Q8xzvZnyQ7DyhPqy2jgs1TE1fLEJjo
. put the battery back in and boot into recovery, copy the supersu.zip (I used the latest one from this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/1012/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip?retrieve_file=1 , but you can use the latest one). Flash it and reboot normally. Don't let twrp root your phone (it will ask you to root when you select "reboot system" from recovery, just select don't install root, or something like this).
Note that the above rooting method worked for the latest 5.1.1 firmware (from 10 October 2016) for Hong-Kong, PDA N9100ZHU1CPI3, CSC N9100ZZH1CPI3.
You can download the firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/102145/N9100ZHU1CPI3_N9100ZZH1CPI3_TGY/
Also, that firmware fixed some rotation issues I had with the previous one.

Stock android rom?

Hi,
I'm looking for a rom that is clean android such as it doesn't have no bloatware or any pre installed crap with it, similar to how the nexus 6p stock rom is.
Forgive me for my n00by questions lol, but I was also wandering how to completely debrand my S5 as it has all the 02 stuff on it, could I just use a different baseband version stock firmware that isn't related to a network? (If that makes sense) or do I need to stick to the same baseband version of my phone.
Thanks
S5 SM-900F
Android version - 5.0
Baseband version - G900FXXU1BOK5

You have ArrowAOSP rom for a stock rom,aosp features,lollipop 5.1.1 version. No bloatware or pre installed crap,the only pre installed apps will be the one from the gapps package.
I can't help you with the other question,someone else might wanna help you.

Can you link me to a thread or something so I can have a look. I've currently rooted my phone using cf auto root, will I need to use the chain fire method in order for this custom rom to work?

Another option would be the 'btu' firmware that comes pre-installed on Carphone Warehouse devices.....it's a standard stock rom but without the carrier bloat......Just flash, root and TiBu the hell out of it.......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

I use this debloat script for my BTU ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pt-galaxy-cleaner-lollipop-debloater-t3156010

So just to be clear, I can flash any baseband version, as long as it relates to my device?

I have a Chinese A8000 and I am desperate to get marshmallow, but before voiding the warranty do you think I can flash one of the firmware for a800f because Chinese variants will ALWAYS only take the firmware HK variants don't take like Singapore (XSP) firmware

Well it turns out it tells me unsupport dev type. A800F firmware may make the machine think you are flashing an unofficial ROM and tells you that you have to void the warranty by unlocking the CROM. Unfortunately this is a A8 model that is still not renewed on the Wi-Fi Alliance. There is a chance that Samsung does NOT do that update on the Wi-Fi Alliance page but still get marshmallow, for example: my Galaxy S5 G900H. It literally says 5.0 lollipop on that website but I installed marshmallow 4 months ago. Chinese models tend to get the updates very late but I hope at least it still receives updates.

Do NOT flash a800i marshmallow on an a8000. The a800i has a different chipset, it would probably brick your phone. You'll have to wait a while I guess, there doesn't seem to be any hk 6.0.1 roms out.

Just one day ago ther is news about A8 duos getting marshmallow. Which phone is that? As far as i know my A8000 IS duos device. Out of all other A8 models which one's marshmallow is possible to be put on A8000?

My friend is having trouble, i will install sm-a800i rom
my phone: sm-a8000
Are you sure this rom is on the phone ??

Update: Both the Hong Kong version and the Chinese version of A8000 received marshmallow update! The update brings much smoother app experience/animation and better battery life (which was already great since day 1) overall! I have just noticed that today and installed it. Trust me, I will NEVER go back to that old inefficient lollipop on this phone!

Yay! Marshmallow for A8000. Does anyone know if they made an autoroot for this yet or any root method? I see the other A8s have it but not this.

I have Samsung SM-A8000 Chinese Model I have Upgraded it to Android 6.0.1 Marshmello but I want to root it and I cant find any method for rooting, I searched all over the internet there are root method for A800f and A800i but there is not any root method I can find for A800 Chinese model Help me, Thanx

How can I root the Samsung A8 android 6.0!

can someone please let us know if a root for the a8000 model is avail...???

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWPR recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either. I'm able to root the phone with auto root and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery. I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked but during the boot in the original recovery it said no command.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 16Gb.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi do you have any working custom recovery ?
My problem is the recovery itself not root.

I have the twrp costum recovery.

i9505xxuemk9 doesn't have updates more then 4.3, i need 5.0.1

hey, my s4 i9505xxuemk9 it doesn't have updates other than 4.3, and the other s4 versions has 5.0.1, i just need to know, can i install the Official ROM for example " I9505XXUHPF3 " has 5.0.1 to my s4 i9505xxuemk9 ? and everything will work good? i don't need a custom rom, i need an Official ROM.

The "xxuemk9" is not part of the model number but simply describes the bootloader or modem version. All that really matters is that you have an I9505 and have a carrier unlocked device. If you have a carrier-unlocked device, you can install any I9505 ROM from sammobile or samsung-updates. Otherwise you're best off installing the latest ROM from your carrier.
