[Help] How to update Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C to Marshmallow - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm just new here and my previous phone was an iPhone so i'm not really good at doing advanced android stuff I bought a used Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910C) and the previous owner said if I would upgrade the phone I'd go to samsungmobile.com but when i opened the site It's just a bunch of marketing stuffs of Samsung. I tried the OTA update but I't didn't worked and screwed up my signal it only says "Emergency Calls Only" so i returned it to the guy i bought it from and he fixed it for free. It turns out that my phone is rooted and locked to the carried Smart (Philippines) and there was something used to unlock it that involves rooting it. I wanted to update my phone to marshmallow since 5.0.1 is so unstable but i don't want to screw it up again since i can't contact the guy again. Thanks

Hi, lemme try to help you.
First, you need
Phone with 50%+ battery, if not charge it beforehand.
A Windows PC, the original USB cable (the one that comes with the Samsung charger) -> Detach it and plug it into a physical USB port on your computer.
Download latest 6.0.1 Firmware (the first one) and Odin from here and follow Install Instructions on the same page

It depends on the method he used to unlock it. If it's OS-side you would lose that, yes. If it's imei unlock, it's permanent. Sorry I can't help you more about this, maybe someone else knows more about unlocking?

Unlocking Vibrant

Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.
how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.
Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.
can someone answer my question?

I don't know whether the unlock methods work with Froyo but you can download a 2.1 stock Odin in the forum.

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how much of a pain posting in the Q/A section can be and the wait time is pretty bad, so if you need help regarding UNBRICKING and ONLY UNBRICKING feel free to post in here.[/S​

If you want help you are going to have to be a lot more specific. What have you actually tried?
Just a tip, people will not help you on these forums if you ask for help without showing you've tried to solve the problem and know how to search.
There are loads of unlock threads. Almost everyone get one method to work eventually.

To mighty developers: Can ROM cause problems or damage USB connectivity?

Can ROM somehow cause problems with USB recognising of my SGS4 I9505 ?
Charging is fine, but can't be recognized by PC.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
My question is simple and i need simple answer (like yes or no). I won't explain how many threads i've checked- simply i'll tell what i've tried.
1. Dozens of cables
2. Few different laptops with different OS
3. A lot USB ports
4. Cleaning phone USB port
5. Replacing with another 2 USB boards from other SGS4
6. Hard phone cache and factory reset
7. Delete all drivers, reinstall em, also KIES, Error code i receive in device manager is 43. Tried to force Samsung drivers for this device, it accept them, but gives error code 10 - device can not start.
Phone can't be recognized in all modes. Last time it was connecting properly was when i flashed last ROM with Odin. It is STOCK rom. - I9505XXUHOB7_I9505YBTHOB7_DBT-Stock ROM Galaxy s4 and it has received several updates OTA from Samsung.
I have 2 more SGS4 which connects and works fine with all cables. They have never been flashed or rooted.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
THANKS a lot in advance !!!

So should i bang my head and search for flashing without custom recovery, root and USB connectivity !? Is there any chances to flash that way another rom, an will it fix usb connectivity ?
If ROM has NOTHING to do with usb connectivity- then i'll just leave it that way! It is simple ! But no simple answer yet

Download mode is separated from the rom. So no, the rom has nothing to do with usb connectivity while in download mode. Another rom will not fix your problems.

Note 4 SM-910F Full Bricked need help

Hey community!
I have a friends note 4 SM-910F that doesn't respond at all that needs to be revived.
Status: No LED, No recovery mode, no download mode, Win64 PC recognizes it sometimes as QHSUSB (Its the snapdragon CPU), battery is fine and original (also tried different ones)
I already tried: to flash somehow a new fw through Odin, but no success because its not able to go in DL mode.
Tried to put the battery out and wait several times (1 2 3 method).
Tried to create a bootable image with SD but no success.
Tried to charge it for hours, but it wouldn't even get warm at the points where it usually gets warm through charging.
Tried many different things like smashing the power button, pressure on display etc. but also no success.
The Note was never rooted and fully Stock 6.0.1 Android from Samsung (updated directly in the phone through wifi).
It worked pretty good, but then it lagged almost every few minutes, shut itself down and now its bricked.
I hope you guys can help us out somehow. You can also suggest us some different tipps, because I'm actually pretty good in reviving phones, but this one really doesn't want to start no matter what.
Greets!
any solution I'm in the same situation
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Have u tried software recovery trough smartswitch?
I was in same situation before and i solved successfully.but you will need another working note 4 for this method and a micro sd card 16gb minimum. instructions to unbrick your note 4( 1, you will need to download latest firmware for your model ( 2, a working note 4 same model ) (3.fully formated micro sd card) (4,odin software to flash firmware) once you downlaod latest firmware open odin in your pc and look in odin options for( T flash) tick on tflash and now put micro sd card in your working note 4 and unzip firmware that you downladed and click AP and select firmware file and and hit start remember this will install firmware to your micro sd card after odin pass put the micro sd card in your bricked note 4 and press power button for about 8 to 10 seconds and leave phone for few minutes and phone should boot automatically. If it does not boot at first time try couple of times.Once phone back to life go to download mode and flash firmware normally( without Tflash) i hope this will help. I have successfully unbricked note 3 n9005 and note 4 n910t with this method. follow the instructions take your time this will work hopefully.
Thanks for your answers!
I have a working note4, same model, so i think i will try your method with tflash. Does this method do anything to my working Note4? Because i don't wanna risk a second bricked Note ?
But first I'm going to try to clean the inner parts of the bricked one because i guess it might was damaged by water once and started to corrodate (idk if its the right word for starting to rust, I'm not a native english speaker, but i think you know what i mean).
I've read about that symptoms. They are often caused by water.
Do you think thats a good idea?

no this method won't effect your working note 4 at all but I think you are still not sure that phone is bricked or damaged by water . then make sure before try anything or In my opinion take to repair centre at least to know what is the issue.

I think that water damage is only an option, because the phone was bought used.
I decided to try the SD method and if it won't succeed i will try to clean the inner parts.
Just change Eklypt's first post to model number SM-N910G and it would be mine.
I have a bricked note 4, and it has the exact same symptoms. This is after a USB board change to fix the dodgy port.
I did try to flash it, but I am a complete noob when it comes to ODIN and I probably did more harm than good.
The one time the screen did display, I got the error message "mmc_read failed, could not do normal boot". (Not necessarily in that order on the screen, but you get the idea.)
I would like to try the "flash the SD card with T-flash" method, but I don't have another working note 4.
The main question:
Can I flash a card using a note 2 and use it to resurrect my note 4?
Any and all help would be appreciated with many kudos and cookies etc.
Tried the method above with (partial) success....
Started with a completely black screen Note 4, now I'm in download mode with the message "TFlash boot".....
But when I try to flash a firmware with Odin, it always fail with the message "MMC READ FAIL"....
QPST tool
Hi folks,
I have done some many hours of research on this. I have not had success, but I have at least made progress. :fingers-crossed:
RECAP: I am trying to unbrick an SM-N910G Note 4. It has all the hard brick symptoms (No screen, no hardware key response, no Odin etc.), and shows up in the device manager under COM ports as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)".
I read this post - (droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/)
This writer (Kunal Barccha) uses a tool known as QPST.
(androidbrick.com/download/latest-qpst-2-7-build-422-425-430-437-qfil-qualcomm-flasher/ <--- This link will take you to a download page which will list four versions of QPST).
I am currently using QPST build 422, and I have installed the Qualcomm drivers found in his post.
This has improved matters, as I can actually see the phone with the program.
Unfortunately, I don't have the correct files to make use of the QPST Software Download program.
I need a phone image file. I suspect it can be extracted from a working Note 4 by taking a complete system image, but I don't have access to a working Note 4. <--- Help on this anyone?
I am sure that just about any Qualcomm chipset can be repaired using this tool (It's the factory tool after all) with the right files and familiarity. :victory:
The catch? Don't come crying to me for files, I'm looking for them myself too!
Warning :- Don't download or install any QPST that goes by version 4.2.2! It contains a keylogger. You can find the relevant post elsewhere on the XDA site.
Happy hunting for a solution and if you find one I wanna know cause I wanna use it too! :highfive:

Note 4 Verizon failing to update to Marshmallow

Hello everyone
Please bear me with me for I am a dinosaur that grew up with Symbian phones, then was forced to use Windows phones and now recently converted to Android, therefore not an expert in this field.
Bought the Note 4 off ebay in UK. Mobile banking app and Android Pay say my phone is rooted however Root Checker says it isn't . I have tried to update to Marshmallow through ODIN but I get the FAIL Auth error every time I try...
In settings the phone shows up as N910F however it is a N910V ... I do need help to figure out the precise model though just to make sure I am installing the correct software.
Also, I am using a Lebara SIM card (partners with Vodafone) here in UK, not sure if that matters.
Would really appreciate if someone would have the patience to guide me how to install Marshmallow on my phone, I just want a clean one and no rooting. Tried different tutorials on the internet but none worked for me or I am surely doing something wrong.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Andy I'm also in the UK with note 4. To find out the correct model you need to boot to download mode. Power off the phone, Hold volume down + home + power together. It will boot to download mode and from there it will show you the model.
Post your correct model here and I will post the firmware with the correct steps to flash.
Hi Callum
In download mode it says N910V

Ahh you have the verizon varient.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/117781/N910VVRS2CPL1_N910VVZW2CPL1_VZW/
Here is the stock marshmallow firmware for your device.
Download and unzip the firmware. Place it in odin in AP. In odin options enable auto reboot and uncheck repartition. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc and start.
Thanks for the firmware , that worked like a charm. Is it possible to install a non-Verizon version on this phone? One that does not have the Verizon preloaded apps?
Also, do you know anything about the Note 4 getting the Nougat update?

Also, do you know anything about the Note 4 getting the Nougat update?

You can only flash firmware for your device which is N910V. Which means unfortunately you can only flash verizon firmware. However you can root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the bloat.
As for the N update I have read and heard rumours that we will get it but I don't have my hopes up. Even though the Note 4 is 2 years old it's still a high end device. It hasn't been officially announced yet. Only been announced for s6/s7 and future releases

Hi Andy I'm also in the UK with note 4. To find out the correct model you need to boot to download mode. Power off the phone, Hold volume down + home + power together. It will boot to download mode and from there it will show you the model.
Post your correct model here and I will post the firmware with the correct steps to flash.

I got it from UAE but I'm currently in the Philippines. I don't think it is network locked.

1st download the firmware.
Download odin, latest version is fine but I use v3.10.6
On phone settings go to about device, tap build number 7 times until developer options is there, go on developer options and enable USB debugging.
Plug phone to pc to make sure drivers are up to date.
Once firmware is downloaded unzip it.
Power off phone and put into download mode, vol down + home + power.
Open odin and click AP, insert the firmware. Odin options should be, re partition UNCHECKED, auto reboot checked, f reset time checked.
Plug phone into pc, in odin log it will say added with blue box saying com:3 or similar.
Press start and it will flash and reboot. The first boot can loop a few times or hang on the Samsung logo for a little while it's normal.
If it hangs for more than 15 minutes remove the battery for a few minutes then power on again and it will boot.
If you get any errors or are unsure let me know.
