[Bad/Failed Root?] Samsung Note4 Keeps Auto-Restarting - (Model: SM-N910G)

Hi Guys,
Recently got the a Note4 after being an S4 fan for 2 years. Tried to go ahead and root my device and i presume failed miserably. I don't think i did enough background research like i did before when rooting my S4.
Model: SM-N910G
Android V: 5.11
So,
I followed this to root my NOTE4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
Then my phone didn't pick up any signal and kept restarting every 2 mins once the device was turned on. So i looked around some more threads and saw a post that i should download and boot this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62241991&postcount=56
I still have no Mobile data signal and my phone keeps restarting!
Any guidance how to get it back to normal? I don't even care about having my phone rooted anymore - Or am i completely stuffed?
Many thanks!

download stock firmware from sammobile and flash with odin.

You've been doing things wrongly.
Firstly, the CF autoroot for N910G currently only supports up to android 5.0.1.
Secondly, you should not ever install kernel that is not for your specific phone model. Sprint Note 4 =/= International Note 4 Snapdragon (N910G)
To restore back to normal, download official firmware for your phone (N910G). And then flash it using Odin 3.10
Edit: Download official stock firmware from either Sammobile or Samsung-updates. Or u can use the firmware downloader created by fellow XDA member. Be sure to download the correct firmware version/carrier

Thanks guys. Problem solved!

Get the i9500 lollipop firmware from the sammobile and flash it via odin. Please get the firmware which is the same or newer then your bootloader.

When I was in kitkat I did not check the bootloader version and flashed older version which tripped the knox counter. That was why I I asked you to check the bootloader .
If you flashed the correct firmware via odin, believe that the firmware download has no problem, and flashing odin did not give any errors and yet you still have some problem, then your problem likely to be a hardware failure rather than software.
check the checksum of the downloaded firmware, flashing from different usb port or different computer, flashing with different version of odin, etc.. are the tries you can do.

Could you tell me your bootloader version of your phone and also give me the link of the lollipop firmware that you downloaded from the sammobile.
if it is possible could you tell me what message you have when you flash that lollipop firmware via odin.
If your phone is on lollipop, flashing kit-kat or jelly beam wont help and it could harm your phone.

My S7 Edge was FRP Locked because of FORTNITE!!!

Hello guys I really need your help!
I had a Nougat stock rom on my S7 Edge and when Fortnite was released I installed it but it was so laggy and asked me to update to the new version of android. So I found a custom rom that was perfect was called "Black Pearl" S9 ported to S7
then I opened fortnite but it seemed like the rom was rooted or something fortnite asked me to turn of OEM lock so I did so and since then I got the message " Custom binary blocked by FRP lock.
so now I can't figure what to do, I am installing a stock rom with odin but it keeps saying FAIL! FAIL! everytime maybe it's because of turning off OEM or something.. I don't really know what to do now! HELP!

Help me please!

FRP lock does not block official firmware flashing through odin.
It just prevents custom firmware from being installed.
You have to flash official firmware its the only option, choose the correct region when you are downloading the firmware.
If you don't know what region your original phone firmware was then use samsung smart switch to emergency reset the phone.

I did and its working . But if i flashed a custom rom i i will face this problem again ?

usually dont.but now you have new bootloader(from the oficial firmware)and some custom roms maybe not working at all.
you can try each one from twrp as usual.
in any case of problem you can flash oficial again and so on...

Flashing stock firmware from sfirmware.com (S8 SM-G950F)

I'm wanting to return my phone back to stock. Has anyone had experience with this website. So far it's been alot better than sammobile. I've flashed a stock firmware from this website onto my tablet and it has worked fine.
I'm causious with the S8 as its my daily phone and don't want to brick it.
Also, if anything bad happens during the flash process using ODIN is it easy to return back
(I'm guessing ill just have to flash TWRP - This happened on my old S6 and worked fine)
Thanks
EDIT: The website worked fine for me and i was able to download a firmware and flash it correctly. Its much better than sammobile imo.
So, for anyone wondering weather this site is good - its great

You are flashing an older version than what is on you phone. You can not downgrade firmware.
For latest firmware you can use samfirm or frija to download firmware.

spawnlives,
Thanks for your feedback. I've manage to flash the stock firmware and it all works fine
