I rooted my galaxy note 4 the other day and I was playing around with build prop editor and I put in a code for Hotspot and when I reset my phone it kept showing up with an error saying it couldn't connect to networkprovider so I factory reset the phone thinking that would help but it still does it. when I tried to install an earlier firmware it failed can someone please help.?!
What you are describing has nothing to do with unrooting.
You have a problem because you modified a system file. Your problem has nothing to do with root.
Anyway, the solution would be to flash stock firmware. Your "flashing an earlier firmware" failed because flashing older firmwares would mean downgrading, and Samsung doesn't want you to do that. So it fails. In conclusion, flash a newer firmware version.

So the most recent update to Marshmallow OTA screwed up something in my phone, it started lagging, the WiFi wouldn't store passwords so every time I connected to WiFi it would ask me to enter the password and Private Mode was messed up giving the error "Failed to enable private mode, try again" so i figured maybe a Factory Reset would fix this did it to reboot and see the same exact errors, so try to do another factory reset and see the error "dm verity verification failed" on the boot up menu.
My phone is the N910G from india and I'm running it on EE in the U.K so Samsung say they can't do anything about it and I'd need to show it to someone in India, but would the network make a difference or cause this issue.
Anyone with any experience in this same situation?
Thanks a ton, appreciate it.
You can flash this. No problem for me :

What Odin version are you using? Best to use version 3.10.7 or later.
You can try ticking the options Nand Erase All and Update Bootloader before flashing the Rom.
I was using the old Odin3_v3.09, but just downloaded the 3.11.1 now will try this and see what hppanes.
Thanks

Try going to stock recovery then wipe cache and data/factory reset.
Hope it can solve your problem.
Done over and over and no go, it's a very frustrating issue and I can not figure out what's up. I even did the update through Kies and still the same.

Is it possible my Note 4 N910G could be a different version like from Singapore even though I've brought it from India?
Are there any risks in flashing the N910G other country version oof the software?
Yes, most probably. You can try flashing another official firmware such as from Singapore. No risk AFAIK as long as the Rom is for the same variant N910G. Flashing will just fail if incompatible.
I experienced this when flashing a Singaporean Rom. Flashing always fails. Flashing Indian Roms however are always a success. My phone is Australian N910G.
Oh wow didn't know that, so you have an Australian N910G with an Indian Firmware. Cool will try that.
Thanks.

I've gotten no help at all with this. Very unlike this forum. My phone is a kltevew, which is straight talks version of a g900v. I need help, there are lots of great looking Roms that require you to have mm firmware I'd like to try!
Not sure why I'm getting g no responses on this. Surely someone must know something... The only response I got was not only not helpful but jerky and obnoxious. Doesn't anyone know how to upgrade the firmware on my phone? (And no, google has no answers for me on this.. I look everyday)

Download it with samfirm http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 (Model= SM-G900V Region= VZW) or from sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900V/ , do you know how to flash firmware with odin?
I do. Thanks so much for responding. Every time I try with Odin, a few different releases, it always gives me the error message fail. Can it be done with flashfire?
What stands in the log of odin when the flash completes?
Ill have to do it again to see... Be back in a bit!
I think it says FAIL! modem but I'll have to run it again... Brb
Last night I used flash fire to install firmware. That didn't get past the red Verizon logo, so I put twrp on it with Odin. Twrp showed it as dpd1, but it just wouldn't boot. So I wiped it once and flashed a ROM that requires mm firmware. Same thing, justbootloop. So I put stock back on it, then mokee 6.0.1. which works, I'm just not on mm firmware and all the great new roms are still unavailable to me.

Have you enabled the option to flash bootloader on flashfire setting?
What? No, I haven't... but do do right now. Thanks for the tip! Actually, where would I find it?
So would I do it in this order? Flash the dpd1 bootloader, then modem, them rom, then jrkruse patch? All in flash fire?

It's in setting of flashfire...but only do it if odin doesn't work because do it from flashfire is more riskiy...
1)do a backup
2)check the bootloader flash option
3)install the firmware with all the wipe except internal storage(it mean that flashfire delete /data excluding /data/media/0 (sdcard) but include it in your backup copy because you never know )
4)wait till reboot skip setup wizard "spamming" the next button then install the rom with flashfire or twrp
On the flashfire site i found this:
Flash bootloaders
"This setting controls if FlashFire will attempt to flash bootloader partitions. By default, bootloader partitions are only read and never written. Even when enabled, flashing bootloader partitions may not succeed - many devices have protections in place against the bootloaders being overwritten.
Please note that flashing bootloaders is extremely dangerous. Any bug, error, or failure may result in an unrecoverable hard-brick. Do not use this feature unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Due to the danger of this feature, it is automatically turned off every time FlashFire starts. You have to manually re-enable it every time you want to use it.
If you must flash bootloaders, it is advised to use a bootloader-based flashing tool such as fastboot or ODIN to do it, as these are the safest methods. OTAs may also update bootloaders, and though slightly less safe than fastboot/ODIN, it is still much safer than having FlashFire flash bootloader partitions directly."
So i suggest to try to flash the firmware directly from odin first
No dice... still doesn't boot up past the red Verizon logo

did you install the firmware in the "AP" box on odin? (after you factory reset your phone)
I did. At this point guess I'm lucky I haven't bricked my phone. Ive tried every possible combination, nothing works!

Redownload the firmware extract it again,factory reset your phone,and try to install the firmware,maybe it's a bad download
Should I be flashing a kernel too? Will it even start/boot without the right kernel?
find out if you phone is refurbished. to install stock ROM you would need the main board and boot to be the same model.
if it's not, then you just need to install bootloader/modem without full ROM. look around in xda for bootloader/modem.
I was wondering if anyone has a link to the stock at t s7 edge g935a kernel when I backed mine up it seams to be corrupt any help would be great the kernel that you use use to root really lags my phone bad or even suggest a kernel that is for the att version
I have not seen one. I would just backup your phone on PC using SmartSwitch and then re-flash your firmware of choice and then restore from your SmartSwitch backup.
I tried flashing to stock as suggested now I get dm-verity verification failed and when I try to flash again it says model mismatch?

I factory reseted my S5 but when it went for the restart it said:
Recovery booting...
SYS REV CHECK FAIL(K) : No version
Secure : SECURE VERSION failure (recovery.img)
then
SECURE FAIL: RECOVERY
with Start up Failed screen and a prompt text to use the software repair assistant.
As you can see i while back i tried to flash it to newer OS but i remember i just couldn't manage to install the custom recovery or root it so i dropped it. Now it's come back to bite me in the ass, what do i do? Please help me out.

I am currently downloading the 5.0 lollipop from sammobile as that is what was originally on. I have my doubts as to whether it will work since i was most likely unable to root the device or install the custom recovery. Is it possible to flash it back to stock firmware without root?

Rooting process changes system partition and/or boot (kernel) partition.
They both (and recovery partition too) will be reverted back to stock after flashing a stock firmware.
Which version of LP do you currently have?

I finally finished downloading the verizon 5.0 G900V firmware and flashed my phone with odin which surprisingly worked. But now it has so much bloatware crap it almost makes up two entire screens. Can i flash it to latest marshmallow stock rom and should i ? Since i don't believe i will be tinkering with it anymore. Anyway thanks for your help.

You definitely can but I cannot say if you should.
It depends on many things.
I think it's a good idea to have the latest firmware if you're just a usual phone user and not interested in rooting and so on.
Hey, i have a s7 edge that i attempted to root but bricked instead, it booted to the Verification failed, please factory reset screen. I tap Reset and it goes to TWRP. So i wiped System,data,cache,internal storage thinking it would work but i messed up the whole thing!!
I tried flashing the stock firmware via odin but it always fails on 'sboot.bin'. I don't know what to do. Please help. Smart switch doesn't detect the phone.....
edit: i have just found that sboot.bin fails because of a outdated bootloader? would downloading the latest firmware from sammobile work?? i really need the phone working as quick as i can

Yea it could be the issue ,as u can't downgrade bootloader only update it with newer version.
Also if that doesn't help but hopefully will ,try nand erase and repit too.
