Yup we're about as unbrickable as any phone has ever been.

inside the arhive

Ok I will ask the noob question. What is Odin please and what does it bring to nexus? Thanks

I've never used it, but i thinks it's a Windows tool that allows you to flash firmware to Samsung Phones...
Can anyone elaborate?

This is great

yes Odin famous in the Galaxy S family, only Nexus S did not require it for flashing new ROMs
all the other Galaxy S models needs Odin to change firmware, as fastboot is not compatible with the rest of the Galaxy S line

i think of it as a Safety switch
even if it's EU ROM
once you revive your phone with it, then you can change to any other ROM you want

You dont need 301K USB resistor to acess download mode
with normal method
Turn off phone....Hold vol up/down plug in USB it will access download mode
think its assessable once you unlock your bootloader

Can someone confirm this is indeed true stock image without root access this is great for those returning phones for what ever reason

never mind, confirmed
it does work
it acts like the 3 button combo in the USA Galaxy S
volume up + volume down + USB
no need for Power button like the other models
hmm... the only annoying thing is, to get out of DOWNLOAD MODE, you have to take out the battery.
on the Galaxy S you can hold Power until it turns off

Yep that's the one ! :0

LG Optimus 4X HD P880 : How to roll back to official firmware and recovery?

Hello Guys,
I have CWM Recovery on my phone and Cyanogenmod 10.3. But now i want to roll back to the official Jelly Bean from LG since i can't flash it back with the LG Software on my computer anymore i can't flash the stock firmware and recovery back. I also don't have a backup anymore of my stock rom. I have searched the forum but i only find things about Samsung devices and ODIN which don't work for LG devices.

hahaha i remember this anime <3 yea i agree. i didnt understand what he said.

I had the same problem and I found a simple solution: Just flash Zaiben RC6 Rom. To do so you do not need to be on a stock rom version. So just flash it in your recovery and you're back on a stock (but modified) rom. Now you can enable the LG Software connection mode and your 4X HD can be used again with the LG PC software and if you want you can flash an original, unmodified stock rom. That's it!

Oh and you can install stock recovery with the All In One tool. Now it will recognize your phone again!

No idea. People seem determined to make things hard for themselves just because they are too lazy to read or too stubborn to actually follow the instructiins to the letter.

It is strange that people messed with their devices while they don't even know how to go back to stock if something went wrong.
Bottom line: Don't do something if you don't know how to undo it. :banghead:

Thanks for this, but what I don't understand at the moment for sure, if I need Windows to flash the orignal STOCK-ROM at the end. SInce I use linux, using windows is a little bit complicated for me.. I will give Zaiben a try. I tried Moltenmotherboard and Blisspop, both 5.1..1. Both ROMs work fine as long as you don't use gps in foreign countries with no dataplan and maybe there can occure reboots or shutdowns with no gsm.-reception and the phone is searching for an network. It is mysterious, since it can happen, but it must not. So I will give Zaiben a try, let's see what happens then.

Thanks, recovery works fine on D410H.

You need to add on the title of this thread that this WILL NOT work on the D415. If you flash that aboot on the D415, it will permanently kill the phone.

Yes, I tried it and if not for my warranty, I'd be using a Nokia Lumia 521 right now....ewww. [emoji37]
To explain, what I did was follow the instructions and flashed the aboot from that site. Even @evoname warns that it doesn't work on the D415.

@Lady
so a wrong aboot bricks your Phone, Not my recovery right? for me i tryed different l90 kernels for recovery compiling and every Works. i think there must be an kdz for your D415 right? i had an brick to and could only unbrick with kdz File an and an Flash Tool thats made for G2 .named flashtool 2014 or something Else.
edit:
checked sources again , and this TWRP must work on D415, because other users confirmed that my Philz touch works on D415 and its uses the same kernel like this twrp, so if someone is smart enough please test this twrp recovery on an ROOTED D415 WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, it must work...
Thx
Regards

I can confirm that this recovery does work on T-Mobile D415 just fine.
I extracted the zip and used ROM installer to flash recovery.

The recovery works because it's a 2nd init recovery. That kind of recovery works on phones with locked bootloaders just fine. If I didn't mention it before, the OP states that you need an unlocked bootloader. To do that, the aboot needs to be flashed (which I did and I bricked...LOL.) The aboot flash located in that cyanogenmod link is what you need to avoid. If you use a D415, sorry to give you the bad news, but the bootloader is locked. Maybe the OP can remove the requirement of needing an unlocked bootloader because it does work as 2nd init.

[Firmware] [LP] [5.0.1] [RetEd/DevEd] Safe Upgrade to Lollipop [N910VVRU2BOG5]

This is a Safe Upgrade to the latest Lollipop firmware (N910VVRU2BOG5) for VZW Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V), both Retail & Developer Editions.

★ What do you mean by "Safe Upgrade"?
The latest N910VVRU2BOG5 bootloader is incremented; i.e., if you take the OTA or flash the official firmware via Odin, you won't be able to downgrade.
For Retail Edition: This is very important if you want to gain ROOT access when available & keep it over OTAs then.
For Developer Edition: If the bootloader is incremented with any coming OTA, it'll block your unlocked bootloader for good & you'll end up with a Retail Edition.

Wow, you really turn this stuff over quick! I looked at your post while clocking out from work at 4:30, you said you were still downloading it. I just got home at 5:30, and you have a new thread, and links/upload already finished! WOW!
EDIT: Seems you have yet to finish uploading the BOG5 tar. Patiently (kind of) waiting at my computer. lol Im going to need a new F5 button before long!

Yup. It's the best device available considering Note 5 as a downgrade except for the design that most users cover with a case anyway!

Under special instructions, it says to flash the OAF bootloader if coming from Kit Kat (I'm on NJ5). When are we supposed to do this? After we flash the OG5 stockrestore and reboot?

1st, that'sonly for the retail edition. Then, you can do it anytime to fix the auto-brightness issues with KK bootloader. That being said, it's recommended to flash OG5 stock restore & reboot again to download mode to flash OAF bootloader, before the 1st boot.

Okay that's what I was going to do. So I'd be fine to stay on my current bootloader if I don't care about the auto brightness?

Yes, but why?

I guess as long as it is still able to be downgraded, it doesn't matter. It's not like the new one would help me in any way though.

For some reason I thought that flashing the BOG5 upgrade would wipe the whole phone and reset me to a literal "factory fresh" state. But apparently, it left EVERYTHING in tact, but DID still do the upgrade. I wanted to start fresh so I could go back to a clean system and start over. So I had to do a factory reset. No biggie. Just wanted a clean slate. Looks like Im back up and running smooth. I was on BOAF bootloader already, so I didnt flash the bootloader again this time. I should still be good, right? Havent checked the bootloader post-flash yet.
Also @hsbadr, do you mind if I mirror your Safe Upgrade files on my website/server? Always ask before I do anything. Links to my site in my signature. Also, I can include any direct links back here, or two another location of your choosing. All proper credits given.

NP! If you followed OP instructions, you'll wipe data (factory reset) in recovery, before 1st boot.

I actually did a factory reset AFTER first boot. Any real difference in effectiveness? Seems to be good.
Im taking it thats a YES on mirroring your files? Just making sure. lol

Thank you hsbadr... you're just awesome! Donated!

OK, so I've started to upload all 5 stock firmwares (ANI1 through BOG5), as well as both Safe Upgrades by @hsbadr (BOF1 and BOG5). At the speed of my home cable, it will take at least a day, maybe more. Still working on the site layout, instructions, and links. When its finished, I will post a link to the site as well as directly to the Note 4 section.

Is there not already a thread with all that info?

Yes, but all the info that I'm adding to my site, is scattered throughout various threads and other webpages. I'm making a centralized location for everything. No more mass bookmarks, remembering threads, and since my site is highly optimized, it should save a LOT of data for those that browse on their phone. I also re-compressed all the huge files, shrinking them by about 300MB each to save some bandwidth.

Just picked up a note4 yesterday, it has N910VVRU2BOF1 on it and there is an OTA I'm not taking. I'm guessing the OTA is 2BOG5?
Anyway, will this work for me coming from a stock/retail N910VVRU2BOF1 phone?
Thanks in advance!
