If u wabt your stock Rom back ... Better Thing to do is! Flash Firmware With Odin!

i know but i want to make sure its exact same as the one i had. the other ace i have is the exact same model, same provider, same firmware. i want to know if i can restore from that phones backup onto mine.
also is there anything i have to do before going from cyanogen to stock?

U Will get most probably md5 mismatch ... if not md5 mistach ... for sure bootloop ... theres way but it a looooot harder than simply flash from odin!
I can make u a step by step ... but first i need to know your country and your provider in case u have one

i live in canada and my provider is koodo

This is getting worse by the minute ... i'll see what i can do for u!

1st of all ... You have to bring back your phone to rfs system file ... ! Use ext4 manager!
2nd Veryyyy Important! You have to use exactly the same recovery to backup and restore ... Ex. Backup With CWM 5.0.2.6 - Restore With CWM 5.0.2.6
3rd Lets Start Open Ext4 manager . You'll get an error concerning the kernel! Ignore it! Continue Choose Convert to rfs' Now Wait until its finished!
4rth - Reboot into CWM and do a restore ... Wait Until its finished, Reboot, Done!
If every thing went fine you'll be ok! if not get back here pm me
take care

thanks, im gonna try this in couple of minutes
sorry one more question, is ext4 manager an app, i cant find it.
nvm, i found it

i am flashing mine back by odin how long does this normally take mine has been on set up connection for 20 plus mins does it really take this long or am i missing something i am supposed to setup lol

No Android in Moboot

I've spent two days trying to solve this but keep coming to the same problem. I have factory reset my touchpad with the webos doctor and have done a secure wipe on the device. When I try to install CM9 with ACMEInstaller it works fine, but when I boot moboot does not show an android option. It does show a CWM option but when I try to flash the ROM from CWM it says
"E:Can't open /sdcard/cminstall/cm-9-20120814-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Couldn't open directory.
No files found."
I was able to install android before. I'm not sure of the cause of this error. CWM won't flash any ROM I have tried nightlies and other touchpad roms; nothing works. The fact that moboot doesn't even show android may be a part of this. I only installed android once with the ACMEInstaller 4 months ago and it worked perfectly. After that I was able to flash roms and everything was fine. This whole issue started when I tried to install ubuntu, but I was able to successfully remove ubuntu and restore to factory default. Any help would be appreciated as the touchpad nearly triples in value for me with android installed.
This thread would have solved my first issue, but cwm won't install any ROMS

Okay... I went throught this exact same thing, which was very frusterating!!
Look in your cminstall folder on the SD card. Does it no longer contain the items you placed into it? If yes, then you have the same issue I did.
Do exactly what this guy says in his tutorial, and don't swap out the ROM or GAPPS or anything, use the exact package you download from the site he linked. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-android-ice-cream-sandwich-hp-touchpad-minutes/
It will work 100%, then use CWM to flash whatever ROM you like after... Bravo, you are done!

I'm about to try, should I restore my touchpad first? Should I run the ACMEUninstaller?

For some reason AcmeInstaller2 deletes ROM's it doesn't like, so in effect all you are doing is installing a non-functional version of CWM.

Help rooting GB without the use of PC

My Note wont get recongize through USB.
I was on MIUI and managed to install stock Hong Kong GB using mobile Odin as one of the members suggested.
But i didnt realised that Hong Kong Notes are linked with thier network providers. If not registered on the Hong Kong network I wont be able to update.
So I now have downloaded the latest ICS Hong Kong rom but to use mobile Odin again I would need to Root my note.
I tried CWM.zip method but it wont work....
Any other way around?
Or Im just stuck with this old old GB....
Thanks

First: do not use cwm.zip. With it there is a good chance that you brick your device.
Second: root your ICS with one of PhilZ kernel. You have to search for the exact version for your ICS Rom. Copy it to your external sd-card - or download it directly on to your device. Use the Zip-File, reboot into the stock recovery and install the zip from the external sd card. After rebooting you are rooted and safe.

Deleted OS

Hey everyone-
I'm pretty new and made the mistake of Deleting the operating system off of my Tmobile note 4 after rooting it. I can get into download mode and recovery but that's it.
I searched but couldn't find a comprehensive guide on what to do how to proceed. I don't want to mess it up further. Is there any way one of you could point me towards the right direction or link to the files i need to download and how to proceed.
Thanks to any and all help!
Also- I'm leaving at 3 this morning reporting for pre deployment training for my unit so im on a hugggeee time crunch to get it fixed. So any and all help as soon as you could would be amazing. Thanks again.

Also--
I found the stock 4.4 Firmware on the Samsung website and am downloading it now. Would I just load that into the Odin "pda" slot and hit start to flash it over, or am I forgetting something crucial? Thanks all!

You need to start from scratch and download the official stock Odin flash
N910T Note 4 KitKat 4.4.4 firmware, then flash it using Odin.
There is no other way to do it.
Here is a direct download link for the official Note 4 firmware:
http://tinyurl.com/k9e5bvc (this link may have a few seconds of delay)
Here is a direct download link for Odin:
http://tinyurl.com/k3pjpaw
Once you have odin flashed the official firmware re-root and flash twrp.
That's about it!
Good luck!

I'm having the exact same issue. Downloaded both odin and the firmware but when I open odin the UI flashes on my screen and then closes quickly.

I linked the wrong odin, sorry.
Here is the correct one, this zip file contains 2 files,
be sure that you unzip both files into the same folder.

Thanks for sticking around to help me out, but are you sure the firmware goes in the PDA slot? Zip file selection isn't allowed to be put there.
Edit: After refreshing up on the Odin instructions I found you're supposed to use the CF AutoRoot file in the PDA slot. Things just got interesting. Not sure what to do with the firmware and the download links keep stopping for me for some reason.
EDIT2: Now I really messed up. Got impatient trying to figure out what to do and went ahead and ran Odin with just the CF AutoRoot file and it worked but I lost my recovery and now I'm in a bootloop because I still don't have an OS installed. I'm not a smart man.

Inside the zip file you will find a TAR or a TAR.MD5 file, either one is
fine to use with Odin in the PDA slot.
So unzip the zip file and put it into Odin's pda slot.
Good luck!

[Q] Mexican ROM update? Version 98.2.16.en.MX available

I just got notified on my phone that 98.2.16.en.MX is available to install. Its an upgrade from the current Mexican ROM I'm running. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it 4.4?!

Odds are its just the heartbleed bugfix.
ATT's version was 98.5.38.MB866.ATT.en.US

I'll check it out. I've upgraded phones now so I don't care if I lose root. Give me about a couple hours and I'll report back.

So I decided to upgrade the phone, not realizing it wouldn't work with my phone already being rooted. My phone failed to install the update, something about signature invalid. It then proceeded to continually boot up normally, wait 15 seconds, then reboot and try to install the update again. I couldn't get it to start up normally.
I finally was able to boot up into CWM recovery and wipe the /cache and dalvik partitions, which seemed to delete that update .zip file, wherever it was.
Anyways, i'm curious what this update is, but I don't want to brick my phone trying to update it. Is there a way to install this update if my phone's rooted? What about CWM's Signature Check feature, can I enable that, then install the .zip file (assuming I can find it) from within CWM?
Thanks

If your boot loader is unlocked, no issues at all... just clean flash stock via fastboot (including stock recovery) and try updating....

Well, I had my atrix hd without no use since I switched to the LG G2 so I gave it a shot.
I restored it to stock through fastboot, the updated appeared and its 18mb only. Downloaded installed and still 4.1.2
