Do a a factory reset in recovery mode and thou shall no longer have those errors.
And do not restore apps using titanium backup or any other backup when coming
from a different model of the phone. Only restore apps which were backed up on
the same phone and model. (that's basically what backups were intended to do).
Just in case the "factory reset" in stock recovery does not do the trick for you then
your only solution is to do a factory reset in recovery and odin flash the official
stock Note 4 N910T firmware.
Good luck!

Couldn't of said it better my self. Never restore apps or data. Unless it is the same phone.
NOTE 4
Thanks forum. Had an idea that would be my best solution. Just didn't want to read download and setup all my apps. Is what it is though. Again thanks for reinsurance.

All,
I have some trouble with s Health that I think is due to root. I would like to clear out the phone and set it up again and tried "Factory data reset" but this did not fix everything and in fact did not seem to remove my root. Is there a more complete factory reset method to return the system to full stock mode?
Thanks,
Tim

You're going to need to flash in order to get rid of root. Tutorial comes with the link above.

You dont need to reset the phone. Its been a common problem with alot of people including myself. If you have root it sems that S-health doesnt like the latest update. Go into applications/applications manager/ALL and scroll to HealthService. Select it then clear cache/data and uninstall updates. then go to S-Health and do the same.Reboot and it will be fine and even work still after it updates again.
Also factory resets dont get rid of root. You need to flash you official firmware via Odin to do that mate.
Ok, my Google services started to tell me i couldn't establish a connection when i was rooted, so i removed hosts. It started working again. Then I unrooted my SM-N900A (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 AT&T),4.4.4, using the unroot from supersu. I backed my phone onto samsung kies and then factory reseted it. However, while setting up my phone, I plugged it in to my computer to restore my data. Now I cannot log into google, and I want to try to avoid root.
Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by...
Good luck

I would recommend flashing the stock ROM. I haven't checked on available resources for the Note 3 in a while, but is 4.4.4 available for download? If not does anybody know if flashing any version of KitKat will work?

I don't think 4.4.4 is available for download yet, so I am going to take my phone to AT&T to get it checked. Sorry for being such a newbie if there is a easy solution.
Is there anyway I can root my SM-N900A 4.4.4? I've tried towel root and it's not supported yet.
Hi,
Just got my new Nexus 6 64GB. Rooted and I transferred my titanium backup files from my Galaxy Note 3. Everything went fine. 3 hour later all my apps are up and running and I'm peachy.
After that I was doing some reading a I stumbled upon the tutorial on how to disable encryption. I gave it a go and upon restart it asked me for my pin number. I enter the pin and then I get the message saying that the phone has to be reset. I hit reset and after the procedure finished phone rebooted and all my files where completely wiped clean. In all my previous phones I could do a reset and keep all my downloaded and backed up files. Is there a way to do this too with the nexus or every time I screw something up I will loose everything?
Stock recovery always resets /sdcard too. Custom recovery only /data and /cache, etc.
However, ALL your data is on an encrypted file system so the only way to decrypt is by reformatting the places that contain ALL the data

Does this apply even if I disabled the encryption?
I love the phone but this is an issue for me. Please give me your opinion on which is the best way to go. I was thinking to not install a custom recovery so I can be able to do the OTA updates even thought I never owned a phone that I didn't root and install custom recovery and ROM from day one (Only have used Samsung Note Phones all these years). Is there a ROM that is based on the Original with encryption disabled and has some good tweaks and will be updated as soon as there is an update? Thanks for your help.

All phones that have "internal storage" their stock recovery wipes "sdcard" when you factory reset.

The ROMs have nothing to do with encryption. When you want to turn encryption off, all your data will be reset, there is no way around it.
However, once you have disabled encryption, then you can stay on a stock rooted ROM, or go to any ROM you like, your internal files will not be touched (data will be deleted though). If you were to stay on the stock rooted ROM, and then accept an OTA update, your phone will automatically encrypt on first boot afterwards. Most ROMs update within a day (if not hours) after the OTA update, so best bet is to flash than to accept OTA if you want to stay unencrypted.
When you wipe your phone in recovery yo flash a different ROM, you do a custom wipe, where you uncheck "internal storage", so your files/pictures/etc don't get deleted.
The cool thing about the N6 is the restore option. If you were to completely wipe right now and go to a different ROM, on first boot, upon logging in you will be asked if you want to restore a backup (if you have enabled backup apps, data, WiFi passwords for your google account). If you select yes, all your apps will automatically be downloaded from the play store, you won't have to do it manually. However, I have seen data for the app is not restored, but you can log into most apps and most games save your progress on the cloud now.
I have searched all over this site for hours, and all I find are old descriptions to restore S5 to factory default. Most of them I know do not work any more.
The guides that I have found to do this are old, and we need a specific guide. Like some mention to use Samsungs old app, Kies. It is now Smart Switch. And Kies wouldn't install factory settings on certain phones including the Galaxy.
I know that with Super SU, I can remove the root from my device. But if my the OC4 is something I downloaded from here, with "rooted" in the title, then I probably shouldn't just use Smart Switch to restore to factory default.
What do I need to download besides Odin? Or if there is an updated article on here for OC4 that I am somehow missing, please give the link. I used FlashFire for the rooting.
Thank you!
Lets say I want to not void my warrenty. How do I get back to factory settings. I want to wipe everything.
My phone is getting too slow, and most of it has to do with rooting. Apps crash, phone camera is almost unusable, and getting back to the home screen takes some time, and major delays in switching apps. I don't want to do this and find I bricked the phone by unrooting with SuperSU, then doing the regular method of restoring factory settings.
Thanks.
This weekend, I rooted my Note 8, and I learned I had no use for it since I really cannot do much with it and mobile data will not work at all. I've tried numerous times to flash everything back to the way things were via Odin 3.14.1, but all has failed. I fear if I continue, I may cause a heard brick. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Maybe. You can check with Frija for latest stock Samsung firmware files and flash it with Odin to your device.
If this does not unroot completely, you may do a factory reset. Keep in mind that this will wipe your data. So backup everything important before.
Or use another method for unfortunately your device, such as described here:

I was rooted and have tried to go back to stock. Mine passes but will not boot. Get a constant bootloop. I have flashed combination files then stock. Keep getting dm-verity fail in stock recovery. Recognized Contributor Jrkruse even tried to help but nothing. Have flashed stock so many times I lost count. Any ideas?
