[Q] Trouble flashing new roms afterLP stock flash. (N910F)

Hi guys,
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I'd really appreciate it!
I've never had to ask for help before with flashing one of my devices, and have flashed hundreds of times with my previous phones, S3, S5 and Note3 .. However this one has me a bit stumped. I have the Note4 N910F and I see many awesome LP ROMS seem to require that you flash stock 5.0.1 via Odin before flashing the custom ROM.
I managed to do this successfully with the ROM listed at Sammobile called "Unknown 5.0.1 N910FXXU1BOC3 N910FTPD1BOC1" - Everything is OK, boots perfectly and I have cell signal and LTE. Rooting was also a non-issue. The problem I have though is that no matter which custom recovery I try, and regardless of ROM that I try, all seem to get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung screen.
Am I doing or have done something horribly wrong?
Please help!

I think I may have answered my own question. The stock ROM I flashed was BOB3, it seems I need to be on BOB4, which is the German based ROM. Busy downloading that now!

Why can't you flash custom rom's with BOB3 installed?
Thanks

Cannot install any Custom ROMs after root sm-N910f

Hi all, this is my first ever post so please bear with me!
I have a Note 4 sm-910f. I rooted recently and have the latest TWRP installed. I have tried to install a number of ROMs but:
If I install AOSP based I get a "Failed" error and a note to say that the ROM is not the correct one for the device - it seems to get my device wrong too?!
If I install a Touchwiz ROM such as NoteX it appears to flash OK but it just keeps bootlooping upon restart.
Any ideas? Could it be anything to do with the modem or bootloader? I'm currently on stock 5.0.1.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I did mean X-note. I have tried a number of other ROMs too, Aliance - Emotion Revolution.
Right now I tried flashing a new bootloader/modem as per this ROM "http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-robomix-t3069298" but now I'm stuck in a complete bootloop!!
I think I need to get the correct bootloader and/or modem - I just don't have a clue why or what is what. I an't find any guides!

Does it mean I would not be able to use the N5 port rom?

I see many people using this rom for N910G in India. I've shared much detailed info about my issue. Somebody please help.

Alright, now that my n910g is stuck with that I tried installing some nameless rom and the screen doesn't really work. I need to use Spen always even to click on the dial button.
Can you suggest any good rom for Note 4 N910g?
I really need to give my phone a fresh start as this will be my first time to flash my phone.
Please help!!

Listen, Dr. Ketan's note 5 port L12 with S6 edge features is based on android 5.1.1 Australian "COH4" baseband version. So first download and install that stock firmware having COH4 baseband version using odin. Here's the link for that: www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56424/N910GDTU1COH4_N910GXSA1COH4_XSA/
And after installing this, root your phone, then install CWM recovery and install dr. Ketan's L12 version rom which you have downloaded. Your phone will work fine after that.
Baseband version of your phone plays a very important role in determining which rom you can install on your phone. For example if u liked and downloaded a samsung stock modified custom rom that has baseband version say "PQR" and suppose if your phone has baseband version "XYZ" then you cannot install that rom on your phone. To install that rom you will first need to flash the stock rom of PQR baseband version in Odin. To check which baseband version your phone is running, go to (settings >> about phone/device >> baseband version). Look at the last 3 or 4 alphabets.

Did you try my method? Did it work?

Used coh4 baseband which you said. But could not find the proper root file. Please help with the root and cwm files for 910g which work. Then i will try flashing dr.ketan rom

Yes I tried, now I am using the same baseband you have mentioned which is Australian, now the touch doesn't work well but with s pen it works fine. What to do ?>

Downloaded the stock from from sammobile and my phone was able to boot successfully. But the problem is that ever since, I tried flashing twrp recovery to flash dr.ketan rom which did not work. My phone's touch is really not working well. I have enabled touches in developer options and confirm that my s-pen works fine but when I touch the phone, it gets detected 1 cm below where I actually touch. This problem might have been created when I flashed twrp recovery because that was the first time I saw this issue.
Please help how to fix this ?

Samsung S4 (I9505) Not connecting to a mobile network after flashing new ROM)

Okay this is a very long story. I have had this old S4 in my drawer and decided to update and refresh it. I found on SamMobile that lollipop was available for it, so I downloaded that. After flashing that to my S4 the phone could not detect a sim card. I then suddenly realized I had flashed the wrong ROM. I live in Australia and I am connected to a carrier called Telstra, but instead of flashing that one I flashed a ROM meant for unlocked phones. So now I am in trouble and I need your guys help! Please help me out on this and if you need any questions to help me just ask!

No problem at all, you can download another rom, that related to your region and flash it in same way, or if you want to get the most from your device you can try a custom rom and I recommend the following for you if you want to get the best performance
- Echoerom
- Albe95 rom
-Omega Rom

No I have lost connection to my baseband and IMEI. Because I did not backup my EFS. Please help!

Did you try flashing a stock ROM for your carrier?

Try flashing the rom meant for your phone. Things might be fine.
If no..then go to the store they'll fix it for you in no time

Many devs uses "assert" function in updater-script file located in "/META-INF/com/google/android" in rom zip.
You can unpack the zip, edit this file to remove the whole function or to add your device model then repack and flash.

Yeah, he's going to do exactly that.

Logic says you start by reading the custom roms instructions .
If your model is supported only then can you flash that rom .

Thanks for the insight. We cannot all be blessed by this higher level of logic you possess.
All the roms I've checked dont seem to have hltecan model explicitly stated as compatible.
I can't imagine my canadian version is so rare that there is no support. I would think there would be a method to flash the hlte version and then update my modem?
