[NOOB] Cant Update Firmware No Root - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
So my friends Note 4 wouldn't boot and i tried everything to fix this flashing every recovery firmware i could find using Odin but i couldn;t get the phone to boot.
I decided to replace the motherboard but i could only find one from China, I have fitted the motherboard and the phone boots fins but its stuck on Android 4.4.4 and I cant install new firmware via the phone and the phone wont connect to Samsung Kies.
Is it worth trying to flash firmware via Odin or will I be stuck in a bootloop again?
I waited a long time for the motherboard and dont want to be back at square 1 again.
The model is N910F if you believe its worth trying and I wont be stuck in a booth loop please can you post a link to the latest firmware below.
Thanks in advance

This is the one that finally worked for me. I went to the SamMobile site to get it. I installed it with Odin.

1. Download and unzip the firmware on your pc: HERE. You only need the .md5 file.
2. Put your device in DOWNLOAD MODE, open ODIN and flash the firmware like in the pic attached.
3. Wait till the process finish and your phone will reboot automatically. I hope this will fix your problem.

O2U Note 4.... Broken?

So this is a bit of an odd situation my friend is having. He bought his Note 4 off eBay over a year ago, and it was (and still is) a rooted mess. And I mean a big mess. Now I'm trying to help him fix it, because he can't update his phone at all whatsoever from 5.1.1. So I send him 6.0.1 firmware for O2U and have him go into Download mode, odin, all that fun stuff. Download mode says SM-N910T. Settings says SM-N910F. Anyway, he tries flashing the firmware via odin, fails, I have him try multiple things (I'm pretty tech savvy when it comes to this type of stuff) but it always failed. Also, "Current Binary" and "System Status" are both custom, and the KNOX counter is 0x1.
So what I'm asking is, how to fix this problem for him? What steps should he take (or should I help him take)? Is this actually a T-Mobile phone from the USA, but rooted to work with O2 sim cards? The hell is going on here?
Thanks for any replies, and all suggestions will be taken seriously and addressed.
Install the Phone INFO Samsung APK by vndnguyen and see what it's written there.
Get the serial number - example: mine is a 910C with serial RF8H70D.... and so on (obviously I can't write it all here)
With this serial number try with Samsung Smart Switch on the PC and see what info you get. Also you have the possibility to get the latest original firmware installed on the phone.
Good luck.

Looks like its an refurbished note 4 original motherboard is N910T and faked with N910F software cuz N910F has more value in Market.
So the bottom line is you have N910T Tmobile note 4 and you have to flash N910T firmware but after flash firmware from odin you have to immediately boot into stock recovery by pressing 3 button combo and do factory reset to get clean fresh opreating system otherwise it will get stuck in a bootloop at samsung logo.
First boot after flash and factory reset can take upto 10 minutes.
You can get firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares
Or from link below for faster download.

Remember once you flash this latest marshmalow firmware there is no way you can ever downgrade to 5.1.1 again.
Good luck

Thanks so much! Everything is flashing on his phone right now like it should be. Appreciate it a bunch!
I also used samsung-firmware.org. I would use sammobile but I only had enough on my card for a 48 hour upgrade.

[SM-G950U] Stock firmware for T-Mobile Galaxy S8

I soft-bricked my phone trying to install the PartCyborgRom. Odin failed without writing anything, but now my phone is stuck in an endless boot loop. I think my only chance is to flash the stock firmware back to the phone. Does anyone have a quick link to the firmware version G950USQS5CRH1? I haven't been able to use my phone for two days because of this boot-loop and my carrier won't help me at all because my warranty expired in July.

Flashed wrong firmware on galaxy s7 edge and now it wont boot

I accidently flashed my phone with the wrong version of firmware when i was trying to root the phone and now it wont boot and says it is a different phone. Any suggestion on where i can get firmware to at least get my phone to boot again. Model number is SM-G935V. I tried sammobile but it failed when running odin on my pc unless i didnt do it correctly. Any suggestions to get my phone back tonworking conditions. I have a macbook as a computer right now but could have access to a pc on tuesday.
Thank you
I guess the question would be what exactly was the firmware that you flashed? What is the firmware number. Just want to make sure you didnt flash something that cant be undone.

Help - Stuck in Infinite Bootloop

Hi, I have an old N8010 16GB which was bought from John Lewis in the UK (an official retailer). The tablet has worked great, however recently it screwed up and got stuck in a bootloop.
So I decided to see if I can try to recover it and that's why I am here. I tried Odin and started putting what I thought is the correct firmware on it, however all the firmwares I try all PASS and seem to install correctly but the device still has a infinte bootloop (it crashes and reboots after the Samsung logo shows). I noticed the PIT file says -8G on one of the firmware files - I guess this means it is for the 8GB version which is clearly not going to work on my 16GB version?
Please can someone guide me on what firmware to download and what to try as I have been trying for 5 hours now and cannot find any way to get it out of this boot loop, I have no problems at all installing firmware as it passes every time with Odin. I am using Odin3 v3.10.7
I'm not sure but I think I need this firmware: N8010XXUCMG1

Hey, I had the same problem recently and I fixed it using the stock firmware (can't post the link due to forum rules) and using a patched Odin 3.14.1 3B.
