You want to unroot... which you don't need to to upgrade! Use Odin! Btw, do some reading around here! READ READ READ! AND USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!
but when my phone operator want to make an over air update it download then it say cant upgrade because unlocked bootloader.
I have only root it with abyss kernel. for some apps.
OTA needs stock recovery so stock kernel .. you need to flash stock rom using pc odin or mobile odin to install OTA updates
ok.
Can someone please give me the link of a stock official kk 4.4.2 because i bricked my note 3 and i need i want yo restoret with sideload or i can install any rom from sideload to get it work? Help please
There isn't a full version just a ota

What ROM version are you on? Unless you're on a intact NB4 ROM, you can't flash the NC2 update, it will fail the file checks.
If you're on MLG or one of the JB ROMs you can just flash back to one of those if your base installation is damaged/corrupted. This is assuming your bootloader isn't A3. If it is, you can only flash the MLG ROM with the A3 bootloader, or have your phone completely restored by the Samsung people at Best Buy.
If your base installation is damaged/corrupted/etc... on bootloader A3 you will not be able to flash the update and you will need to either warranty the phone or go to Best Buy and have them do a full restore on the phone.

Hi all,
I have my N910F 4.4.4 rooted, so no OTA update,
Whats the best way to update to stock Lollipop 5.0.2 without losing root ?
Is it possible to install the Stock ROM via philz recovery ?
I have never install stock Roms via costume recovery.
Not sure if I lost root on this process

I Would Suggest Looking Around In The Snapdragon Note 4 forum you'll likely find something there Most T-Mobile Note 4's are the N910T and not the N910F, N910F is for the international Snapdragon variant. Hope this helps.
Ooooha right thanks for the head-up
Hi,
I have Note 4 N-910T with Kitkat baseband version N910TUVU1ANK4 and the phone is fully unlocked i.e. I am using it outside USA and on other network sim not T-Mobile
I want to update it to
EPJ2 6.0.1 Marshmallow BL and Modem (as of October 2016, Latest)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6...WRvVmJWTzItS0E
My question is
1. Should I first flash TWRP on phone and take back up and then flash the Marshmallow firmware ?
2. Will my phone lock to T-mobile network after update ? What If I flash some custom Marshmallow ROM, will it still lock ?
3. If it is locked or something bad happens, can I safely restore the TWRP back up I created ?
Please help me
Thanks
Aiden

You cant flash via twrp
First you have to flash 6.0.1 full stock firmware via odin to get marshmallow bootloader/baseband.
And dont worry it will not sim lock the device
After that you can flash twrp and flash any 6.0.1 custom rom
Keep in mind once you flash lollipop or marshmallow you cannot go back to kitkat. Your bootloader will be locked and impossible to run kitkat again.
And also your twrp backup of kitkat will no longer work.
I suggest you stick with kitkat cuz it's best for note 4 till date.many users are pulling their hair to go back but they can't. Marshmallow is good in performance but kitkat is best in battery life and speed.
can i down grade from marshmallow to lollipop im on epe3

But I was able to downgrade my W8 N4 from MM 6.0.1 to stock Kitkat 4.4.4 by Odin 3.09 without any problems, It doesn't lock the BL, I am not sure for other models but at-least mine BL was not locked.
