You can use Wanam Xposed module to fake your device status. There are other Xposed modules that also does this. At first I thought this was only a cosmetic information, but it actually tricks the system and the OTA really work. It worked for me.

Has anyone tried this and had success. I'm hesitant to try it on my N910U

If there is a new firmware, you can simply download it on pc from a repository, flash via odin and reroot.

Yep wanams module lets me check/perform updatea

Tried using wanam xposed to fake my device as official. But I still get a modified device error when trying to update

Me too. Wanam only make you able to download the update, but cannot install.
I have to install via Odin.

Actually I use this trick only to be alerted when something new is available. I flash it using ODIN.

How do I update via Odin?

- Download the correct firmware for your device.
- Connect phone to PC, run Odin, select AP, and Start.

Hmm. Now the only firmware updates I see for my N910U is a 4.4.4 and I'm already running 4.4.4 so why does my phone say there is an update?

What fw r u on?

4.4.4? Or it something else? Where do I find it?

I am under custom recovery and i believe that the reason OTA update fail even fake the status.
Anyway to revert to stock recovery?

I don't like Kies, but sometimes I have to use it to check if there's an update, and if it finds one, it will install it for you but you have to reroot afterwards. I think this is the only method if you're rooted.
@Andrewtst, I had a Note 3 with custom recovery (CWM), and when I was one firmware behind, Kies prompted me for an update and after I updated it I got the stock recovery back. Don't know if this is the case with the Note 4, will try when there's an update for my Note 4.

I believe kies is full rom. I don't want full rom. If full rom, can download from sammobile and flash via odin.

Check with 'Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆' app, under 'OS INFO' section.

I found it. And apparently I already have the latest version even though it says there's an update available.

Root and recovery working on lollipop

I don't take credit for this, i am just giving a guide on how i was able to gain root and recovery on the Sprint Note 4 with Lollipop.
Let me start by saying i was running the Hybrid-X series rom. Here were my steps to upgrade to Lollipop and keep all my data. If you are on stock, skip this step.
1. Flash the stock rom tar found here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95853297432265112
2. Once you reboot, run system update and you will download and install Lollipop. When it installs and reboots, you should still have all your data and apps.
Once in lollipop, i followed our old root method which does work for lollipop found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
Now, to get recovery, you can do it 2 different ways.
1.download an app called flashify from the play store. Download the following file in .img form:
http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltespr
2. download the .tar file from above and flash in oodin.
Once you have both on your phone, open flashify, select recovery image and hit Yup! and then reboot. Your phone should reboot into TWRP.
At this point you will have all your data, root, and recovery. Enjoy
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for damage to your phone or voiding your warranty.
As a note, i would backup your data though any apps that you can. I wiped the data since the system seemed sluggish. When i restored thought titanium, there were a lot of apps that were crashing. Wiping the data to each app didn't work. I had to uninstall and re-install the app, but then you loose the data.
On a second note, once i wiped data in recover, lollipop was very nice and smooth.

Awesome good find have to try it out

Works perfect finally can get nattery like the note 3

This works if you already had TWRP installed?

I'm guessing once you flash the stock rom tar you get the stock recovery, that's why in step 3 you have to use flashify to get twrp back.

TWRP works. I backed up 5.0.1, did a full wipe and restored it. No problem.
The only issue I have found so far, es file Explorer can no longer write to system or change file permissions. Bummer, I'll have to find another way to copy over my custom boot animations and sounds.

I'm asking because I read somewhere that Lollipop was a little more carrier friendly in blocking the hotspot feature unless it's been paid for. Can you verify that it works with Galaxy tools?

After the update, my sim is locked again. Galaxy Tools will no longer unlock for international use.
And it doesn't read the MSL either.
EDIT:
It does still add all the toggles.

Just to be 100% clear, if you are currently rooted you're good to go to flash the update through Odin with no issues?

No you will have to backup app data with titanium backup... I recommend wiping anyway there's a higher chance there won't be any issues.

I can also confirm root with this update. Updated with odin, but it did give me a big bootloop problem after flashing the eng boot. Couldn't get it to work with the "Prince" custom odin or with regular odin 3.12. Had to dl the most recent (3.13 I think it is) and then it finally went.

Hmmmm...not too sure then. Yeah I was on pj2 when I first got my edge last week and wanted root. The only way I was able to do it was flashed Verizon fw which I think was pe1 then root and flash echoe rom. But it was way too laggy for me. So right now I'm on unlocked fw ai3. Which has all bloat removed and seems smoother then sprints pj2 stock fw

Deffinately not package disabler pro. I was able to update with all my packages disabled. Although maybe you have apps disabled that i do not have disabled. Nonetheless i have not seen any major improvements at all in the update. So i would not worry about rushing to get it.

I'm a relative noob to flashing rom's. Can someone tell me if I'm understanding this correctly?
Installing this update will *unroot* my phone? So after installing this update through odin, I will need to install twrp again while in download mode? And then, once that's installed, reroot my phone?
