SM-N915W8 Canadian NOTE EDGE

Hey just got my edge today, looks like there is very little going on as it was just released a few days ago despite it being out in the states for quite some time, the only difference I believe is the LTE in the Canadian version.
Anyways, coming from the note 2, 3 and 4 and the trtlecan version always being close to the trtletmo I decided to risk it and flash the tmo cf auto root and recovery despite there being no stock firmware laying around on sammmobile the others..
annnd I'm happy to report that I now have a TWRP recovery, rooted, SM-N915W8.
go ahead and follow the very detail steps in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
MAKE SURE TO READ THE PART ABOUT IT FAILING (to flash cwm) AND THAT BEING OK being flashing TWRP
and then the BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS inside recovery which will look like you have sleep lock if you don't fix them before letting the screen timeout
and have all 4 files on hand before you start!

Awesome, thanks for the info, I was debating it but just was being a chicken. I'm glad everything worked out. Did you make a nand? If so did you flash the nand just to make sure everything was OK? Are your root apps working without issues.? I don't mind taking the risk...just wanna be sure

fantastic CONTRIBUTION!!! thank you for your input

ok so i took the plunge and follow the steps from the link in OP that @gundal shared about his success
I Too have a rooted SM-N915W8 (BELL VERSION but im on TELUS)
Thank you for your insight @gundal

Awesome glad it worked out for you too, now we can experiment with which kernel and os will boot without fear of bricking
Yes, I tried reflashing the backup and all is good.
Hyperdrive didn't work even with restoring our boot sector (kernel)

Haha, i was reading through and just found it funny.
Glad you guys are having luck with the Canadian model. I jumped the gun and imported one from Korea as soon as it was released and it's an awesome device!
Enjoy!

Were you guys able to flash a custom ROM? Which ROMS will work with the Canadian version? And which US Model number is 'equivalent' to the Canadian one?

Anyone try any T-Moble stuff? I didnt look myself but I ask because we all used the tmoble stuff for our old Canadian Note3s ... could be the same senerio. I think that Tmoble kernels should work..
There might be a version of Hyperdrive for tmoble..

What recovery are you using cause Im on twrp and I cant make a backup, cache partition cant be mounted either, are you having this prob too?....
Dont worry about it, someone else who had this problem fixed it by formatting cache - did that and everything went fine.

Tried flashing Hyperdrive Edge for T-Mo with both twrp (2.8.1.1) and cwm (6.0.5.1 Xiaolu) referenced in the root guide by OP. They flashed without error but I got bootlooped both times. Luckily backup/restore works for both recoveries.

Does anyone know of a way to get back to stock recovery after flashing cwm or twrp? Any known location of a stock image?

Go to sammobile web site...download the original firmware for your model and flash it. When u flash original firmware everything will be back to stock including recovery..and you will be able to receive ota update. To flash stock firmware...just use odin. Search this forum for instruction on how to flash using odin.

Yeah I know about sammobile, flashing via Odin etc. There's no stock firmware uploaded for the Canadian variants yet so I was wondering of an alternate method to flash the stock recovery. I tried extracting the recovery from the stock image via ADB shell, converting to tar.md5, then flashing with Odin but it failed....likely because I'm rooted. Guess I'll have to wait until the firmware gets uploaded. Thanks anyway.

Try contacting the sammobile team...and their forum..they maybe able to help..

Not yet. I check daily. I'm hoping someone will be able to capture it via Kies when Lollipop rolls out. It's only matter of time before sammobile gets it.

Arg, that really bites. Now I have a new phone I cant use at all. You'd think the firmware would be released when the phone was. Have you tried the other roms? I can't even gwt onto my internal sd to put them on the phone so I can try installing them. So frustrated.

SM-N915x ... ?? Canadian note edge

[CANADIAN] Odin 5.1.1 Bootloader & TWRP Flashable Modem - SM-G925W8 BOI6 *UPDATED*

[CANADIAN] Odin 5.1.1 Bootloader & TWRP Flashable Modem - SM-G925W8 BOI6 *UPDATED*
Thanks to @risx for grabbing the OTA zip to get the stuff we needed.
Prerequisit: You must be on a 5.1.1 compatible TWRP as well as a 5.1.1 rom when flashing these packages or your going to get stuck in a binary miss match. While there is a fix for this with out the W8 5.1.1 odin packages, it takes a lot of musical flashing. So be sure to be on a compatible 5.1.1 rom, Kernel and TWRP first.
As always, you flash at YOUR OWN RISK. I will of course try to provide support if I am online, If you appreciate how much the pain in my butt was, and you didn't have to do this your self. Click Donate.
The Bootloader MUST be flashed via ODIN 3.10.X or higher. in the BL slot. Hence why its a tar. Sorry no flashables, Samsung locks the boot loader areas to everything but their own signed recovery, from their own signed update.zip
BOH8 BL
BOI1 BL
BOI6 BL *LATEST*
The modem is TWRP flashable
BOH8 Modem
BOI1 Modem
BOI6 Modem *LATEST*
You can get ODIN 3.10.6 HERE
Samsung USB Drivers HERE

Thank you so much bro, everything works like charm!!
Thanks @risx for the update.zip file. You made our day!!

ok - this is probably a stupid question, but where do i download the twrp 2.8.7.1 for the g925w8? I can't seem to find the file in my searches. Thanks!

No, you must be on a 5.1.1 compatible TWRP as well as a 5.1.1 rom to flash this or your going ot get stuck in a binary miss match. and there will be no fix for this untill the ODIN package is released by samsung, this usually follows days to weeks after an OTA.

this separate bootloader and modem are not for people who wish to stay stock. for you, you should wait for the ota. This is for people who are already on 5.1.1 roms who wish to have the proper bootloader and modem. There would be no purpose for you to install this if you wish to stay on rogers 5.0.2 and then get their ota when its released.

I have been having problems with the BOH8 modem and XtreStoLite 2.3
There is a delay in receiving txt & my incoming calls randomly sometimes go straight to voicemail.
I flashed back the OG2 modem and it seems to be fine now. Wondering if anyone else has this issue?

Tired of Samsung with all this sh!t. They are becoming worst with each device launch and their exynos processors. I hope SD820 comes back with S7 as we will have some hope for AOSP roms.

Yes, you can downgrade APG1 to APD8!!!!!

First, flash ENG boot in the AP. Then, go back immediately and flash the CSC CP and AP of the ROM of your choice. Simple, easy, DOWNGRADE COMPLETE!!!

I wanted to know you you could wip up a quick tutorial or steps for us . I can tell its really simple and easy. but once we unzip the firmware wont it then lose the md5 has and signature. of are the 5 files inside also signed.

Since they are all official and signed files I would assume that this would not trip knox. But I can not verify for sure. Also I thought knox checks to see if the boot loader is unlocked.
I have another question. with an unlocked boot loader don't we still have the problem of dm-verity being enabled that would stop use form flashing mods and roms.

The main thing that *most* people want is the U firmware. Also, I'm not really sure exactly what knox does other than to not trip it.

If this works, this would be amazing. I don't want root, I don't want to even unlock my bootloader, I just want to put the U firmware on my T-Mobile S7.

Not to get off topic but what's the big deal about the u firmware is it Universal or is it unbranded with a lot less bloat. Or additional features?

I'm pretty sure pd8 is v3 bootloader also. Shouldn't be any issues downgrading pg1 to pd8 regularly, both same version bl.

EPK2 bootloader and modem for N910T

I downloaded the EPK2 firmware from sammobile and parted out the BL and CP for those of us on custom ROMS. This allows you to ODIN just the BL and CP w/o losing yer custom rom or any data or anything. Tested it myself and am currently running it trouble free.

This may sound stupid to some, forgive my ignorance, but if I flash the BL and Modem over my current DOK2, can I then just download and install a custom rom that is based on EPK2 and flash it like normal? Or do I need to actually flash the OFW?

You will have to flash a newer ROM. Whatever DOK2 ROM you are using now will prob not play nice with the updated (not upgraded) BL and baseband. Personally, I haven't found a MM ROM that I liked for this device.

Yeah that is what I had planned on doing. I was just wondering if flashing just the modem and BL would allow me to then flash a custom MM rom without having to first flash the full firmware. Was just looking for a short cut. But I have not decided if I want to upgrade or not. I am currently using Maximum Overdrive v7.1.1, just seems a bit sluggish these days.

Flash G955U1 With ENG_BOOT.tar And Modified ODIN. HOTSPOT, NO BLOATWARE (Confirmed)

Successfully flashed from G955USQU1AQEF to G955U1UEU1AQE3 using this method.
1. Backup your data. I found out the hard way that the ENG_BOOT.tar will reset the phone (I know... noob mistake).
2. Reboot into download mode and use the modified Odin to flash ENG_BOOT_G955U.tar under BL.
(I rebooted after this and went through the setup... Im not sure if you have to, but I know it will work if you do)
3. Reboot back into download mode and flash the G955U1UEU1AQE3 files in their appropriate fields.
(I didn't use the HOME_CSC, and everything seems to work great!)
I take no credit for the existence of these files.
Enjoy!

There is no root or bootloader unlock, it's just the engineering bootloader. The only useful thing that I have found is that it allows you to flash the G955U1 firmware. It may allow for downgrading, but just attempting what I already did was enough risk for now... Maybe I'll try it at one point.

I thought you could just flash the U1 firmware using the modified Odin if you wanted to.

It doesn't have carrier bloatware, and enables tethering for other carriers. Possibly quicker updates, because there would be no wait for the carrier to release it, not positive on that tho.

But do you have to use ENGBOOT to flash the Unlocked firmware?
Before the last update you just had to use modified Odin from the other thread.

If i remember right you can flash u1 without engboot

After I flashed the firmware, i no longer had the hurricane symbol but do I still have the features of the engkernel?
