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!!!

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.

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 ?

[Q] N9100 China Dual Sim ROOT for 5.1.1

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?

Chainfire has a new autoroot for N9100 5.1.1. You can download it HERE

SM-N9100 runing Adroid 5.1.1 rooted successfully.
I followed the following link and successfully rooted mine without any problems.
(sorry. I'm not allowed to post an outside link. Google "How to root Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9100 Android Lollipop 5.1.1" and you should be able to find the article on recovery-mode.com)
Good luck!

I recently bought N9100 in china and then I flashed my new phone with the latest stock rom N9100ZHS1CPE1 (Hongkong) android 5.1.1 via odin. Worked perfectly. No issues.

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.

Bootloader and modem question

Hey I want to install Lineage OS on my S5 G900F. I had this rom not long ago but I remember I had random reboots. I don't really understand how the bootloader and modem works ( I've read other threads before opening this but I'm not sure what to do so it's best to ask instead of breaking the phone ;D). If I will have android 7.x which bootloader and modem should I install? The latest and if yes where can I get download for those (I saw there is an option to extract it from official rom but the official one is version 6.0.1 so I'm not sure what to do).
If anyone can clear my misunderstanding and help me I will be glad, Thanks!

I am not using it but on the official LineageOS thread they recommend bootloader+modem combo from the latest available stock firmware which is android MM 6.0.1 of course.
You can get them for example from here (newest ones are: BL - CQI6, Modem - CQA9).

Thanks for the replay in the end I went back to stock rom and reinstalled lineage OS. Phone runs smooth and no crash until now. I think my problem is solved.

32GB TGY Motherboard and custom ROMs

I have a question regarding a motherboard I bought. I used Phone Info and I get the following information:
Phone Model: SM-N9005/Galaxy Note 3
Device Type: hlte
Product Name: hltezh
CSC Code: TGY
Bootloader Version: N9005ZHUENB1
Baseband Version: N9005ZHUENA6
Phone Info says there is a newer firmware (N9005ZSUGPJ2) but when I try the firmware updater via the Settings app it says I'm already on the latest update. I also can't find the current bootloader (N9005ZHUENB1) and baseband (N9005ZHUENA6) on Sammobile.
Do I need to update to Android 5.0 as it is still on 4.4.2 and I want to use LineageOS 16.0. Will the current firmware (4.4.2) work when I want to root the phone and install TWRP to install LineageOS 16.0?

5 is on sammobile and other sites N9005ZSUGPJ2

But can I flash it via Odin on this motherboard? I've read on another thread that it is used for 16GB TGY motherboards because it has another PIT file.

Try it, if it failed, don't flash with CSC, if it also failed, just leave it like that.
You want to try LOS16, it is fine, I booted Pie ROMs, RR, with KitKat bootloader older than yours.
If you had any problems later, just flash modem & bootloader files only.
No need to flash the whole stock ROM.
