[Q] Need help with clean install and unlocking wifi tether - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910T. Ive rooted and installed some mods and before I go further I'd really like to start from a completely clean slate just to rule out any conflicts. That said, what wipe options in TWRP do I want to use, or is reflashing the stock firmware good enough? I downloaded and reflashed the stock firmware from sammobile and it went well, but I noticed that I still have all my applications installed and everything looks the same. So, what did reflashing actually do? Did it overwrite my system files? I know I had to re-root after the flash.
Anyways, the whole point is that I'm trying to get jimmydene's unlocked wifi tether mod to work and it's still counting against my tether cap. He said it's best to start from a "clean install" and I'm not really sure what this means. Plus, I may need a stock "deodexed" ROM and I'm also not clear as to what this means even after attempting to do some research.
If someone could guide me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. First and foremost I'd like to restore my phone to complete stock like it just came out of the box, just to make sure I don't have any weird files laying around somewhere from the mods I've tried. And secondly, I'd really like to get unlocked wifi tethering to work. Thanks in advance for any help offered.

CONFUSED N1 Owner

Hello folks,
Well I recently made the switch from iPhone OS to Android , picked up a used Nexus One in pretty good shape, no scratches, like new and what not, the phone is amazing BUT I am having a hard time understanding some stuff (I thought I was getting a stock N1, and it seems it has been loaded w/ custom ROM and is rooted and unlocked. -which not bad in my opinion, but...
I still have some questions, I am trying to update to Froyo 2.2, and im not sure if I will ever get OTA since the phone has been messed around with and if i manually update to 2.2 it will cause trouble.
1) When I boot the phone it shows the "lock" to be opened, so I am assuming it is oem unlocked, the phone has working WiFi tethering (just like in 2.2)
2) also in the menu of the phone there is an app "superuser permission" which thats why assume the phone is also rooted
And finally In the "About phone" I get the following:
firmware 2.1-update1
baseband
32.36.00.28h_4.06.00.12_7
kernel
2.6.34-cyanogenmod
mod version
cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3
build
epe54b
I have reset the phone to factory settings, but the same info comes up everytime. the phone runs flawless, no lags, overall i love the phone.
And finally if anybody knows please feel free to share, I am trying to open port 80 on the N1 while it is running Wifi tethering and the only way i have found to do this is if the N1 is rooted, correct me if im wrong... i have a rovio that is refusing to connect to the N1s network...
Any positive input will be highly appreciated! thanks!
Your not very confused!
Your phone is unlocked and has root. its running cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3.
You can install a custom froyo rom without too much of a problem from recovery. Remember to nandroid-backup everything from recovery first.
Get into recovery by holding down the volume down button as you press the power button to power on the phone.
Heres an example of tethering via usb/forwarded port
http://blog.tangorangers.com/2009/02/tetherbot_android_and_slackware_how_to/
you can install 2.2 with no problem but you have to manually do it. you might get a notification for ota's but you won't be able to install them. just install it manually.
Man you guys are awesome! thanks for clearing this up for me.

Yeah man, you're money. For a used phone it is set up in possibly the best way possible for someone new to android and ready for you to throw the new CM6 ROM on there. You even have the proper radio already. You're good to go.
You can install Froyo in various ways. If you want total stock you can follow the instructions on this link and let OTA froyo install itself. If you need root you can download that from HERE
This method requires SDK installed with Fastboot on your computer with mandatory USB Drivers.
Or you can go the very easy way and use ROMs that is allready cooked, ready to flash in recovery right over your old ROM, like the link that is in my signature. It works great for me and is pretty much stock with root and a couple of extras you can delete via ADB if you don't need them..
Just download the Rom, drop it on the root of your SD Card and flash away in Recovery. all done!
What you are running is a test version of Cyanogen which is not the stable version. So it seems the previous owner didn't bother flashing it.

[Q] Flashing a custom rom with phone already flashed to cricket

Good afternoon all,
I have an HTC One PN072. I've flashed the phone from Sprint to Cricket. They were very adamant about me not "resetting" the phone as it will remove the information, or flash they've added.
I've done several searches and can't seem to find a thread indicating 1) if this is possible and 2) a guide to doing so. The phone already is rooted and has TWRP on it as well.
If anyone knows of a thread I would love a link to a guide.

I have a Sprint One fully flashed to Verizon and I flash custom ROMs all the time without any problems. I have never lost any settings and I don't even have to re-activate my phone. I would think that as long as you dont use Bootloader to flash a complete RUU image you should be fine. Goin s-off if your not already might cause issues here as well. (If someone knows for sure please correct me) I would say just download a ROM and install it with TWRP. I have updated firmware as well with no issues as well, however the firmware I upgraded with did not contain a radio update, which I am hesitant to do since I imagine that will effect my flash. I did my flash myself but it seems like a headache re-doing it.

The wipes in TWRP usually recommended before flashing a custom rom don't remove their flashed data?

Not that I have ever experienced. That was true on my EVO LTE and has so far been true on my One. I have the newest TWRP and in the past two days I have flashed EclipticOne, Elegencia and Insert Coin. On my old Droids Clockwork recoveries reset worked fine as well. DONT do a factory reset from inside the ROM. I have not tried it on my One, but on my EVO and my Droid 1/2/3 phones that would undo parts of a flash and I would have to reactivate. If I were you I would just work within my current firmware and flash what was available.
It is possible for you to flash your phone back to Cricket for free but its requires a lot of setup and can be a real pain in the ass. Getting 3G on Verizon was particularly painful and I have many screen shots and pages of notes on the actual procedure. When I upgraded from my EVO to the One I managed to get it right the first time by following my notes but it was still a serious hassle.

i was thinking about getting my one flashed to verizon but how does it work?? say i get my phone flashed.. is it verizon pre paid?? does that come with unlimited data?? text & talk?? how much would my bill be a month? sorry for all the questions
I apologize, so just to be as clear as possible, if you follow all of the wipes that roms usually ask you to perform in TWRP then you should be fine? However, do not perform a factory reset in the rom itself once loaded?
Doing a wipe through TWRP's wipe feature is fine as long as you dont go into 'Advanced' and mess with settings. Do not do the factory reset within the ROM once the ROM is loaded. If, while installing a ROM, the installer wants to do a wipe, that is fine as well.

Aye Aye Aye, I CAN NOT get the finger print scanner to work...+

Long story shorter. Phone stolen. Phone had nandroid stored on my computer. Phone replaced by another Note 4 (PS, thief go pound sand). Didn't mess around, stock rom to Note 4 (ANK). Root. Recovery. Old image from lost phone used as recovery. (Yeah I didn't make a backup of original from new phone). Flashed over. Everything works fine. Now ready to put finger prints in. Error page pops up saying fingerprint scanner error. 72 hours of scouring this forum, internet, MULTIPLE stock rom flashes from the oldest to NJK to ANK and COG6. Clean flash, dirty flash NOTHING works. Makes no difference what I do, cannot get the fingerprint scanner to perform. Common problem, complaints all over the internet about it but NO SOLUTIONS. I have tried everything down to deleting directories and I cannot get the damn thing to work. Seriously doubt hardware issue. *#0*# sensor heading shows finger print scanner as Null and 0.0.0.0. Deleted cache. Deleted data from TIBU and now after three days I give up. Seems everyone has the problem but nobody knows why and when they do you get a half assed or worse answer as to how to fix it. Does anybody know how to get this thing working again. Do I need to flash an apk. Where can I find it. Do I need to rebuild. ? Can anyone flash that section fingerprint free and send it to me. I am just guessing. I know crap about how stuff works, I just know how to follow directions but this one has got me stumped.
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Regards,
Freddie did not get fingered but he needs it.
You need to flash stock firmware and verify that all is stock, sometimes after returning to stock you may have a miss matching error like bootloader or modem.
After running stock run smartswitch.

Ok forgive me for my ignorance but if I run a stock firmware straight from Sammy shouldn't the bootloader and modem be part of the rom? It seems to me that doing a wipe should be like reinstalling windows, you format the drive and install the OS. There is nothing left and a complete rebuild of the file system occurs. Is this not what happens when you do a wipe in the recovery and then Odin the stock firmware? How can I be sure that when I install a stock rom everything is wiped and there is no hangers and the OS on the phone is rebuilt completely? When you say smartswitch I assume you mean the Sammy program.

Ok, I think I have found it but now I need to know how to fix it. Currently I have as follows in the about device screen:
Model SN-N910T
AHHA ------!!!!! - ANDROID VERSION 5.0
Baseband - N910TU1ANK4
Kernal version - 3.10.0-2796035 [email protected] #1 Thu Nov 13 18:01:07 KST 2014
Build number - KTU84P.N910TUVU1ANK4
So it seems the android version is wrong. Again forgive my stupidity but what exactly IS the android version. Meaning is that the baseband, the modem, what part of the stock rom is flashed wrong and where do I find that part to flash it correctly. I think I am making some progress just need input. Thanks Pp for getting me on track, now I just need a little shove to get this train rolling and maybe learn something in the process. If I fix it I then intend to write a proper write up for those lost souls out there who don't have to spend days....
So why does it say my android version is 5.0 when it should say 4.4.4?
Thank,
Freddy is getting nervous
First verify what version of the note 4 you have, Sm-N910T or Sm-N910T3 and flash proper firmware. Look under your battery.
Once you root you jumble up the phones ability to install firmware properly, and flashing stock firmware once with odin does not always secure components thus leaving you with unofficial status, "custom" and you think you went back to stock with no root but not official yet.
You need to make sure everything flashes and sticks, Model nunber, Android version, Basedand version, Kernel version, Build number.
Any of the modified components can stick and not be overwritten by stock odin flash.
Sometimes multiple flashes, or individual component flashes are required to go back to "official" stock form.
At this point you can verify that your fingerprint scanner works properly and leave it alone or proceed cautiously if root is really required ??? .
I only run stock and save myself all the headaches, I used to root back when Samsung phones where simple and less complicated without kernel security from Samsung.
I suggest latest 5.1.1 lollipop update, kitkat is primitive and outdated, you will be amazed at how well your note will run with latest firmware (with junk apps disabled).

Here's a sample of my stock Note 4 running latest update.

Nope, I have wiped this phone a million times, reinstalled factory rom over the top of itself a dozen times, installed the baseband and bootloader separately after that and NOTHING changes it still will not work. I have read the complete internet from front to back and it seems nobody knows but the shadow.....Thanks for taking the time for trying to help me out though...
When you say wipe, do you mean factory reset?
Several resets in a row should wipe it clean. Something is stuck, could be the kernel, that will prevent a clean install.
You need to find a way to wipe partitions individually using ADB on the PC, that should allow for a clean install.

try doing this...
1st - run chainfire triangle away v3.26
2nd - boot into recovery and wipe everything 3 times except external sdcard.. especially data...
3rd - boot in download mode and ODIN whatever firmware u wanna use... 2 times...
happened to me when the note 4 first came out... I had to exchange to a new note 4...
also whenever u do a nandroid.. U MUST REMOVE ANY SAVED FINGERPRINTS... so u can use that backup again..
if u restore a nandroid with a saved frintprints, it won't work, u must delete data and start fresh..
I don't know if u messed it up by restoring a nandroid from a previous phone and with saved fingerprints stored...
will do thanks for the advice will advise
Nope, nothing I do including stock or otherwise works. When you hit +#0*# it says null and 0.0.0.0 unless someone knows something I don't, it's borked. The thing is even if I used a nandroid and it overwrote my fingerprints where the ones in the nandroid so you would think it would work. Chalk it up to who knows....thanks anyway. Still looking if anyone finds solution....

Help needed with first root of 510 (Vodaphone)

Hi all,
I am I a position where I can get unlimited tethering, of which I am grateful for. I purchased the phone from Vodaphone and then moved to another provider. Because its a third party phone, tethering is not detected.
So, I accidentally updated the software version of the 510 to 1.51.161.12 and then to 1.51.161.14 and my tethering application took a MASSIVE hit.
Tethered to an Xbox one, I now get huge packet loss, very low MTU, huge latency and slow speeds, which was not present before the update. I have contacted the HTC devs to let them know about the issue. I have already troubleshooted all my devices, factory reset, wiped the cache etc...
I wish to roll back the version. I realise in order to do this I will need to root my phone and flash a ROM. The only Kernel I could find was on the htcdev website and was version 1.51.161.10 from vodaphone. Is this a stock ROM?
Can anyone assist me in safely flashing my phone, I have never done this before and I would like to keep my unlimited tethering and phone in working condition. I did Google it but I couldn't find any decent results.
What is a safe guide to follow? I am completely inexperienced at this and would really appreciate the help.
Is dip_spits guide appropriate for a a UK carrier, does it matter? I almost used this guide
https://support.digitalendpoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/204812787-How-to-root-the-HTC-Desire-510 -until I realised that I need philz recovery for 64bit. Will using the dip_spit guide lock my carrier again?
What ROM can I use after rooting. Why is it so hard to find information on HTC 510 rooting and ROMs
I am looking for a safe way of doing this and have posted multiple times on XDA, but nobody can help me. The reason I am doing this is to restore functionality to my tethering, which has broken for no apparent reason.
Thanks

Okey.....a lot of questions.
Firstly, if you are 64 bit there is no need to use philiz touch recovery. There is TWRP recovery for our device. You can get it here:http://twrp.me Don't search HTCDev for 64bit ROM's. The only thing there are kernel source files. The carrier lock is not in any way connected with the operating system (at least thats what I think). And it's highly doubtful that the lock will reapear. The reason that you can't find a lot of guieds about our device it's mainly because the majority of devs here on XDA are from the USA. In the USA they sell the 32 bit version of the phone and the software is very different from the 64 bit.
Now lets talk about ROM's.
If you want pure stock rom you can search for it here mega:///#F!3Zo10Zya!-NbM_2RWWecFlc5mH9bLbA
If you want a custom rom you can get this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/cyanogenmod-12-1-msm8916-64bit-t3281744
And if you'd like a debloated version of the stock you can get this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/android-4-4-3-stock-os-debloated-64bit-t3361689

Ok so here is what happened when I rooted.
I unlocked the boot loader and made a recovery using philz touch. The PROBLEM is that I didn't have an SD card installed so what happened is philz touch partioned part of my phones memory. So I go to root and it is successful.
Now I got to recovery to install back the system because I was not happy with the way some of the apps were running and I want to install the stock vodpahone RUU on zubaggys page. I go ahead and recover but now it has taken more memory. I am now running my old ROM and kernel with less than 1 gig of free memory!!
All I want to do now is reinstall the stock vodaphone
Another question. When I was rooted, I downloaded barnacle tether and messed with the transmit power in the settings. I disabled and uninstalled. I also downloaded port forwarder ultimate and messed with the setting but uninstalled.
Will this affect my ROM installation, will it be fresh.
Thanks.

If philiz touch partitioned the phone then it's a miracle that it's still working. At this point I will suggest you flash TWRP because it has a more clean interface and there is no way you'd mess up something. Afterwards use it to format every single partition you can find with it. Beware that with this you will delete all data including the OS. I am not 100% percent that this will work because I haven't seen a situation like yours.

Jeez, I guess i have got myself in a bit of a sticky situation. I followed dips rooting procedure and it explicitly stated not to use twrp and use Philz touch instead for 64 bit phones. It also didn't state to use an Sd card.
We are talking in two threads here, so I suggest, to help other users with a stock revert, that we continue in Zubaggys thread. You are being a great help and I really appreciate you giving me your time.

Bootloader fails in Odin, not sure what went wrong

Hello I'm not really that good with mobile tech so excuse my noobness but i decided to dive in and try to root my samsung s6. Here is step by step what i've done so far
Following a few tuts after backups i rooted my phone and verified it with root checker.
Next I downloaded a few popular root apps and removed a bunch of bloatware on the phone
Today I decided to try to install a custom ROM for my phone, after finding a suitable one for my model I proceeded with his guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
Next I downloaded all the correct files (I'm confident I double checked)
Now I'm not sure if this is where I went wrong but I installed TWRP custom recovery first
Then I proceeded to install modem with Odin and that went fine it passed and phone restarted
But when I go to install bootloader under BL in Odin it just fails, tried 3 times same result
Can anyone suggest another step in troubleshooting this? If it helps I was running stock samsung os never tinkered with the phone before this
Any advice is appreciated and please let me know if there is any more info i can provide
Thanks
EDIT:
Ok so I posted this late last night after trying to figure it out for a while. This morning I left for work to discover I had no mobile capabilities at all. No data, call, text nothing. Last night I was connected to my wifi at home so I guess I didn't notice. This has been obviously brutal with no communication all day. I tried tinkering a bit with it (did a factory reset through TWRP, tried flashing everything through TWRP) and nothing really helped.
Now I'm not really sure how to proceed so any advice would help as I don't want to brick my phone. What I'm planning on doing next that is the only thing that makes sense to me (again I have very little experience with phones) is to:
1. Re-flash everything through TWRP
2. Re-flash using stock rom, stock bl, and stock modem using Odin
My questions are is there any particular order I need to do this in and also will I have to re-root the phone again after or will this just be the stock rom but still rooted?
Thanks again literally ANY ideas u can throw out here go a long way as I've opened myself a can of worms
