I bought my white note 4 on Oct 30 or 31, can't remember, I read all the problems with this fingerprint scanner stuff, but I did not root for 2 days. and the past 2 days I did everything I was on NIH, and when testing my stock odexed roms, I had the fingerprints saved, but when I flashed, I couldn't log in, so when I deleted the saved fingerprints is when this happened, the error messages,
I did the firmwares so many times for the NIH, did not work... :crying: I then upgraded the firmware to NJ7 same thing, could not get it working...
I went to another tmobile store, and the guy went into downloader mode.. shocked me,, but he said I need to goto where I bought the phone to change it out, he didn't have any note 4... but he went and reset the phone and didn't work...
when I got home, I called tmobile 611... and went through the process and they said, they don't have any replacements, since I didn't buy the phone from them, they can't send a new phone, for me to goto the tmobile store I bought the phone, but no one has the note 4.. call back next week and we can send a replacement.
I called the corporate store today, they had 2 in black, I really wanted the white, but I took the black anyway.. lucky they were so busy, they didn't check the phone and swapped everything out.
I guess im gonna wait a bit before rooting and flashing the phone, to see what everyone finds out.

I have the same problem with my note 4. tried everything already so it may be hardware related. will buy a home button replacement from ebay hopefully that helps will update if successful

totally dead note

hi ppl i need help i was flashing my note with ReVolt-JB-20130107 everything was going well, i nipped out of the room for 2 mins and the phone was dead wont go into recovery or download mode so not detected by odin
iv pulled the battery and still nothing ?, i got the phone 2nd hand so dont think it will have warranty
is it fit for bin or is it fixable :crying: cheers
What was your phone configuration before flashing the revolt rom?
Test.......
Looks familiar?
i rooted the note off the sdcard with cwm
then i installed superSU
then was installing revolt when it happened
Ok so you used cwm.zip from the sd card to get cwm recovery. The you flash supersu. You got root. Then how did you get cwm?
If you have flashed the rom using cwm.zip, the phone is probably bricked.

I don't have my first coffee finished and so maybe I'm too sensitive right now. But why are the numbers of people using CWM.zip and getting into trouble raising?
So he should do the same as other members in the last days: check the eMMC and if bricked use the repartition workaround (see hg42's thread for detailed informations and howtos).
Or send the device to Samsung for a motherboard replacement and complete repair.
Edit: better to follow a hint that nokiamodeln91 gave before to another "bricker". In that case it helped. Use the e2fsck-method for check and possible repair. See the thread here for the help and details nokiamodeln91 gave in the other case.
iv used cwm loads of times with no trouble does anyone think a jig will help or send it to be repaired by jtag
its out off warranty so cant send it ss
also i put my note on charge last nite got up this morning to find the battery cold? its usually warm after charging alnight
Good morning Thai. It's not just you. But all of a sudden cwm.zip has creeped up again. Don't know how?

If what you install using cwm.zip does not have a wipe command (installing supersu, rooting) , you could survive using it. But when you install a rom or perform a wipe, it's going to do all sorts of bad things to your phone.
got a jig this morning but no luck:crying: does anybody no if a jtag will work coz iv found a site that will do jtag for £30 :fingers-crossed:
There is no guarantee that a JTAG will work. Most of the times it won't if the cpu is fried
How can a software damage a hardware? I don't understand.
There should be a tutorial for doos and don't doos, for a new note owner before he tries root and flash a rom, with strict warnings and must be read. I feel sorry for all those who get into trouble / bricks. I think you are a right person to write up.
Edit : covering all possibilities of bricks, complete and comprehensive.

I think it's because people get it off YouTube, RootGalaxyNote.com and other places where there are no warnings about the dangers of CWM.zip. Then after they get into trouble with it, they come here.....

Search in XDA for the "site name" and see if some members tell something about them.
If I would brick my device (until now I was lucky), I would bite the bullet (I checked Leo.org for the translation of "in den sauren Apfel beissen") and send it to Samsung for repair.
Even if they make the workaround for this money you'll never have a fully working device again.

[Q] Sprint update bricked my phone. More details in post, need some desperate help.

Hi guys so this is a little embarrassing but I'm fairly certain sprint update has bricked my phone. Sprint pushed the update to 4.4 2 nights ago for me and everything was going fine. My phone is rooted and custom recovery so I slapped on the stock recovery to process the update. The update starts off fine and dandy until about halfway through the dreaded red triangle/exclamation mark popped up. I instantly cursed and watched as my phone entered into an infinite boot loop. I thought it might have worked at first because the lock screen popped up, but when you unlock the phone the white htc logo is still there and the phone reboots after 10 seconds. So after making sure something went astronomically wrong with the update, I went into the boot loader and adb pushed twrp back onto the phone. the update somehow updated my hboot to 1.55 so my s-off is now s-on and I have no wawy to tell if the kernal for the phone is functioning. My only guess to this matter is that the boot sector for the phone is corrupt, but I tried to restore the stock twrp backup i have, and nothing. It boots, the lockscreen unlocks, but it still reboots. Now it was unlocked long enough for me to get into settings and see that it wiped ALL of my phones id info. All the meid, meie, carrier, everything is blank. So it seems that the phone crashed somewhere in the update where it was in the process of wiping things? I then tried to flash a completely different rom on there to see how that went. I first tried viperone 5.0.0 then the newer 5.8.0 and neither would boot (waited 1 hour each to make sure). Then I tried arhd 61 and again, no boot. So I'm not quite sure where to go from here. My stock backups aren't working at restoring, new rom flash isnt working, I can't take it into sprint to check on it since its rooted, I can't update the kernel due to s-on (correct me if im wrong). I'm smart enough to know when I'm out of my depth and I'm clearly trying to tread water in the middle of the ocean in this instance. So please if someone could give me a hand I would appreciate it so much.

[Q] Finger print issue and now extreme lag

OK guys, if any one can actually help me with this... I will be eternally grateful, as my return time frame is up.
Stupidly I flashed a rom that clearly said before wiping anything to remove the finger print settings... Of course I forgot and flashed anyways. Regardless the flash failed, so obviously i recovered a nandroid. But thats is where the problem escalated. After recovery I noticed that i was getting an error on the finger print set up. OK, whatever I Odin flashed back to stock (sammobile of course) after the device was back to stock... LAG... not just a little lag... ridiculous lag. Since this has been the case I have Odin flashed repeatedly trying to resolve, with very little luck.
I have disabled in dev settings the Animation scale, to no avail...
PLEASE GOD SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME GOOD NEWS ON THIS. I early hardware upgraded this from rogers and paid out the ass for it, and of course have lost my ability to return the device as it was working flawlessly before I unleashed my stupidity on it...

I forgot to wipe my fingerprint settings my first time, too. Not a big deal. Totally fixable.
First things first.
Have you done a factory reset?
Yeah, I'd start with a factory reset, as well.
Rogers is the Canadian version correct?
How many stock versions of the firmware do you guys have?
We have 2 in America. Anj and ank.
If you guys have more than one which are you flashing?
The lag is the stuff you did after you messed up the finger printer scanner trying to fix it.
Does your private mode work?
If not have you tried the private mode fix?
Factory reset has been attempted repeatedly, to no avail...
Privacy mode does work actually.
Rogers has 2 firmwares on sammobile, i have odin flashed both. But lag is still persisting.
Its literally every other word i type. Driving me MENTAL LOL

You guys are awesome for the assistance btw. This is the first time in 4 Samsung devices ive done something that im SERIOUSLY concerned was going to be... Unfixable.
I could care less about the finger print scanner, the lag is... Bad.
Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 4
Are you using team win recovery or clockwork mod.
And, what if anything have you wiped through recovery?
Which rom did you flash?
Attempted flashing ib4stids rapture rom.
At the moment im stock unrooted, was using twrp, his instructions advised to factory reset, then advanced wipe data, system, cache, dalvic... I think that was it without looking at the page.
Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 4
I'd re root. And then try firekat.
Making sure of course you didn't leave old fingerprint files.
Then try out the fp scanner and check for lag and report back.
Im experiencing the same exact thing, tried to go stock rom and factory reset three times. I even redownlaoded everything and did it all over again. Tried firekat, dynamic rom, and even cm12 runs a little sluggish. I'm getting a replacement phone at least
So does this lag come from not wiping your fingerprint from your STOCK rom before you flashed a new rom?
Weird thing is, on my other note 4 I never experienced this. I'm pretty sure I forgot to delete fingerprints and then I flashed firekat and no lag.
Thanks guys, MERRY XMAS, if you guys are into that. I have a few thoughts atm, but am away from my pc till tonight. I am determined to get this resolved, and will be checking back and updating on progress as it happens.
Thank you all for the assistance, definitely renewing my faith is Xda.

I mean I soft bricked before and everything and there were no problems like this.
ok
1
When I do a start over flash at the moment I flash anj.
I don't know what tmobile put into ank and until I do its not going on my phone.
(The canadian fellow would flash the earlier version of the rogers stock rom).
Using Odin 3.04. (I'm just not as happy with the later versions of Odin).
2
I flash chainfire.
3
Then the team win recovery.
4
I flash firekat before the phone tries to update.
5
I do the sd card fix with the team win recovery.
6
I do the private mode fix with the team win recovery.
7
I update my modem to ank with the modem trick.
(Canadian users do not have the modem.bin files to do this at this time and should leave their modems alone). I'll try to rip them. It doesn't matter anyway. The 2 modems available are the same anyway.
8
My root apps come back automatically.
Adfree, cachemate, titanium, etc
9
I freeze the bloat.
---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------
I love firekat btw and all the other roms, of course.
But I'm recommending it because it's the longest running rom. Known to work on the Canadian version of the note 4 and he's been fixing lag / and it's similar enough to stock to fix errant flashing.
And from the set up described you could flash any TouchWiz based rom.
That's about right.
Throwing a factory reset in the mix can help as well. I'm coming back from stock Odin flashes with the same background and ring tones and settings etc.
---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
I wanted to run this by you guys. If i were to intentionally mess up the phone. IE pull the cable mid odin flash. then repair via kies... would that fix this issue?
Thoughts? Concerns? Input? Obviously I am going to wait for input from people before i do something this drastic. But I think it might resolve?
I wish it was a defective issue. The devise was used to 2-3 weeks before I decided to flash a rom, causing this... The phone was flawless until i messed it up.

It really won't update everything and you won't have the full COD6 update. Suggest you buy/borrow a windows computer and use odin.
Along with most backups if I made one it would have a lot of my back up info. What do you think would happen if I am using let's say twrp 2.8.4 and your not. Or it uploaded with my efs. You flash then wonder why you have a brick. Or lets say a file got curroupted in upload or download. Way to much gonna go wrong. Ur free to try but I doubt you will find this a good path.

That method is what I was trying to do, but if it was a kit Kat rom fine but every one keeps saying you have to use Odin before you can install lollipop. Also that's what led me to flashing the cod modem through twrp.
.....The name says it all. But I don't need a laptop currently, I'm away from my desktop and I don't know when I'll be near it again. I drive in a semi, throughout the states. That's why I made this unusual request. Later down the line I may get one but for now I like desktops.

If you're international or have a fake phone cf autoroot might not work, but it wouldn't brick. Just wouldn't root
My build number is KTU84P.N910T1UVU1AOB2
Tmobile has a white note 4, but that's not the build # or the baseband.
It should look more like this. I'm custom, but you can see the difference. ANK4 was the last build before COD6.

Another thing is that the phone keeps saying there's an update, but when I install it nothing happens. It also looks like it never downloads the update to install.
I booted into and see KTU84P.N910TUVU1ANIH. But the phone settings says its AOB2.
Anih is OK. That's the first build for our phones.

Try this. It will tell you what u have.
OK I'm not sure if you dealt with this phone and got it rooted and what not. And I'm not sure you got your phone the same place I did , I would be interested to know where you got it from or where it was originally purchased from so I could figure out if this is just a rent a center thing or more widespread. Which rent a center is where I got mine from which is a white note 4 that also had a sm-n910t2 designation and a firmware I couldn't locate or identify as well, I believe the firmware was something like 910UVU1A0B2 pretty Sure it ended in A0B2 though. Which I looked everywhere for the firmware or reference to a sm-n910t2 ...now like I said I got this phone from RAC (rentacenter) and they are obviously modifying the firmware and build prop. I know it looks like they take a tmobile firmware and remove all tmobile bloat and branding. There's a stock android bootscreen and such. And then just modify build prop to designate the phone a sm-n910t2. ..my phone is actually a replacement from RAC which was a black note that had modified firmware but model number wasn't changed. When I got the replacement white with a model number modification I was afraid immediately that they may have made changes that could affect root and flashing firmware. And although I had problems at first purely caused by myself . In the end I flashed lollipop COD6 then TWRP and then my favorite rom...ahem ahem TEKEXODUS ahem.. and all is fine. I know this was a bit long and may not even be read by the OP but if so I figured the info would be interesting to compare situations and also to give as much info as I could on this modified version of note 4

Which rent a center is where I got mine from which is a white note 4 that also had a sm-n910t2 designation and a firmware I couldn't locate or identify as well, I believe the firmware was something like 910UVU1A0B2 pretty Sure it ended in A0B2 though. Which I looked everywhere for the firmware or reference to a sm-n910t2 ...now like I said I got this phone from RAC (rentacenter) and they are obviously modifying the firmware and build prop. I know it looks like they take a tmobile firmware and remove all tmobile bloat and branding. There's a stock android bootscreen and such. And then just modify build prop to designate the phone a sm-n910t2. ..my phone is actually a replacement from RAC which was a black note that had modified firmware but model number wasn't changed. When I got the replacement white with a model number modification I was afraid immediately that they may have made changes that could affect root and flashing firmware. And although I had problems at first purely caused by myself . In the end I flashed lollipop COD6 then TWRP and then my favorite rom...ahem ahem TEKEXODUS ahem.. and all is fine. I know this was a bit long and may not even be read by the OP but if so I figured the info would be interesting to compare situations and also to give as much info as I could on this modified version of note 4

Dude I literally have the same thing. This phone is from rentacenter and I have the same model number and It also says I have an update but when I install it it does the whole process but nothing happens. Still says I'm on 4.4.4. Anyway you can tell me how you rooted your note 4 please?
For RAC phones you use the chain fire autoroot method.
It's the first sticky in general.

Make a backup of your stock RAC rom first.
Phone is bricked
So I got my note 4 on craigslist and the imei was clean and the guy swears up and down that he never rooted.... also he was the only owner. Anyways I set the phone up and after i did so i had a system update message so i did the update. The phone then tried to boot up and it said custom binary blocked by reactivation lock. I have tried everything from a hard reset to downloads online. Only problem with the online downloads it that my phone won't connect to a pc or mac and i do have a driver downloaded on both. I talked to samsung and they said they had never heard anything like it. I also took it to my carrier and they said they couldn't do anything. I can still go into download mode, but other than that i cannot do anything. Please help!
Did you look at this thread.

There are others.
Try a search on this forum for binary lock.
Not a biggie.
You need a pc with Odin to recognize your phone however.
Try a buddies laptop.
What version of Windows on the computer you tried?
Where did you get the drivers?
What version of Odin?
