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).
2. These firmware package is one package. Download, unzip it and flash it then using odin tool to brush into the radio PDA. Lil GUIDE: HERE.

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!!!
Does anyone know about this model? No one seems to know..
I have one problem. At the moment there are several ways to root galaxy note4, including philz recovery and cf auto root. However, as far as i know it works for only note4 model sm-n910 line. However in korea, upper model for n-910 is released, known as sm-n916 line. Both model have the same hardware and software specs, the only difference is their network connection specs. (N916 has faster and improved data lte connection) . Now the problem is that i have n916 model, and rooting for this device does not work with the method that can root n910 model. I thought it would work because everything software and hardware specs are the same. I am really frustrated because i cant root ㅜ.ㅜ
It's only been a month or twice since its release. The exact model is SM-N916L(LG U plus phone carrier. Alphabet that comes after 916 represents differet phone carriers. S is for skt, and K is for Kt, L is for Lg uplus). It is a upper model for SM-N910L galaxy note 4. You can see that SM-N910L model is present in autoroot([email protected]@eu) but not the upper model SM-N916L. Any ways i could help the developers to enable rooting for this device? perhaps finding you the stock firmware? Demand for this device than previous note4 n910 will increase. Really hope to root this device.
Could i get any help? (Btw i am living in korea using korean model). Really willing to donate if i could root this model!
hope i can get a reply as soon as possible. Have a good day~

Make a backup before and if something goes wrong you should have the firmware files at hand to revert changes, you will be responsible for anything you do with your device.

The recoveries were never meant for Marshmallow since those devices were running Android Lollipop.
The Android Marshmallow update for those devices had come out much later on.

I'd love to root. Anyone know if I can get Lineage OS working on this Korean flavoured Galaxy Note 4? ALso A lot of the links above are not alive anymore...does anyone have live links to root ware and firmware? THANKS!!
ideally i'd like to just flash it even to a normal north american firmware vers of note 4 if i cannot get lineage..
Once rooted can i use any note 4 firmware....or does it have to be the one specifically for this korean note 4....thanks you!
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?

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.
Hello guys,
I have a samsung galaxy grand prime, and I want to update it to Lollipop. Unfortunately, there's no firmware update to lollipop in my country/region. I noticed that there's an update for this device in Russia or India region. I wanna install one of those firmware in my device. Is it okay, although I'm not from India or Russia?

It's G350H. And the baseband is XXU. I know about that, but I'm still not sure that's safe. Is there any risks if I flash it to any region firmware though my region firmware isn't available yet?

Hi argounaut! There's nothing really risky about updating from another region as long as it's the right firmware for your phone. I usually update just like this 'cause my region doesn't give anything at all. My first was from Russia and then I updated my firmware from Uzbekistan and then flashed the latest build from Panama. All of it are 5.0.2 (Lollipop) and I haven't had any problems at all upgarding from other regions :good:
(EDIT: And I have the same SM-G530H as you, so no need to worry about risks)

Okay, thanks!:good: Do I need to unroot my phone first before flashing it? Which region firmware from those in your opinion is the best so far?

Not really, but you have to root it again after every update beacuase you will lose root access. And for the best firmware so far, I think you should always go with the newest build every time you update:good:

Hi man! I don't know if it's going to void your warranty but, I do know that flashing firmware from official updates from other regions are totally ok. If it's a custom rom or your phone is rooted, well I can't really assure you with your question

Is this the right file to use for updating my phone? I guess I am using Flashfire for updating without losing root? I want to keep the CSC and any other relevant config the same because I will be using this phone in the middle east.
I would appreciate you guys input on whether I should go ahead and also a good tutorial for updating without losing root.
Thank you!

Hey there! G935F is single sim version while G935FD is dual sim version. Seems you have got a single sim. F versions will work for you.
Regarding root. When you flash a new firmware file then you will lose root but that's okay you can again root it again. Just like u did first time.
I would suggest you to go with Odin to flash a file.
you can find the tutorial here:

Thank you for the quick reply @iamansar, I in fact have the Duo version. Will the file suggested by SamFirm work for my phone? (not mess up the dual sim, keep CSC as XSG?). Also regarding updating without losing root, I believe you are suggesting to flash FW using odin then redo the TWRP and Su steps?
Thank you!

I apologise, I didn't see that you mentioned that yours is G935FD w/ XSG.
It seems you can flash G935F file to FD phone and the firmware will recognise it as dual sim and you will get those features.
About root, well I must say I haven't tried rooting my S7 Edge yet at least till its covered under warranty.One thing for sure if while flashing stock firmware, you lose root privileges and you will have to root again.
You can use this latest firmware.

Have you tried connecting your phone with smart switch in you PC/Laptop with Windows/Mac? As you don't plan on flashing some other country firmware, I would suggest you can go ahead update you phone from there. This what I did today, Mine is XSG as well.

Thank you for the link. I have not tried doing so since my phone is currently rooted and I am afraid trying to update it officaly might mess up my phone. Also, if I flash the file you linked me using Odin, will I lose the TWRP?

Yes! you will. So, Instead of using Odin , It'll be better to flash the firmware using FlashFire as suggested in this tutorial, if you don't want to lose TWRP.
