After odin flashing the lollipop update you need to root with
cf-autoroot and then odin flash twrp 2.8.6.0 custom recovery.
However you don't need to odin flash cf-autoroot if you want
to flash one of the many lollipop custom zip file roms so only
odin flash twrp recovery, it's required for flashing zip file roms.
All the stock and custom lollipop zip file roms are pre-rooted.
Good luck!

Thanks!

Noob question - which slot do we put this in to flash in ODIN? AP? I've never flashed just a recovery before.
(I'm in v3.09 so my options are PIT, BL, AP, CP, CSC, and UMS appears greyed out).
Thanks!
Edit - I'm an idiot. I did flash TWRP a long time ago and used PDA, which appears to have been renamed to AP. I would assume all recoveries will be flashed in PDA/AP so you can ignore my question.
Flash MFD Stock Recovery
I have been trying to install the OTA 4.3 and beyond. The phone keeps nagging me about installing 4.3 but it always fails. I figured out that it probably fails because I am running TWRP recovery. I downloaded the MFD Stock Recovery from SamuriHL's post to fix the stock recovery issue but I just noticed that my Baseband is I337MVLUAMDJ. That appears to be part of a Canadian firmware? My Kernel Version is 3.4.0-440244, [email protected] #160, Tue Jun 11 02:07:59 CDT 2013. I don't know if this kernel and baseband goes with the MFD Build. SamuriHL can you explain if this configuration is correct? The phone seems to work without issues in this configuration except for not being able to do OTA updates.
My question: Should I download and install the full stock firmware and recovery so the phone is completely stock? If so, SamuriHL can you supply a link to the complete firmware so I can make it a full stock phone?
I really appreciate your help. :fingers-crossed:
You should look in the forum. I've already provided the full stock images.

Need stock for Good For Enterprise - Unroot
I have Google Edition S4 in the US and need to unroot it as my work Good For Enterprise won't unlock with it rooted. I am assuming if I push one of these images, it will unroot, right? Two questions. I am unsure which one I should choose and how do I get back to 4.4.4 so I can get OTA updates in the future?
Sorry Partial Noob.

Um, nope. This won't help you in the least. You should install SuperSU from the play store and then use it's full unroot option.

Yeah, cause if you root on 4.4.4...after you take the OTA...you lose root...so, might as well take the update first then root. If you are going to be using a custom ROM, you can just skip the root part and just go straight into getting a custom recovery...then just flash a custome ROM, which will of course already be rooted.

I'm going to try PopRocks.. can you expand on the 2. Odin Flash Auto Root ? I want to make sure I don't mess up.

3. Odin Flash Twrp 2.8.1.1 (link below)

Yeah, that just means to use Odin to flash the Auto Root file (it roots the COD6 Stock ROM from step 1). It's the same process as flashing the COD6 file. Check out the first Stickied Post in the General section....by @TEKHD. A very easy to follow guide with links to all the files you need.

boot loop when flashing TouchWiz based ROMs

Hi,
I successfully installed CM12 and running with it for few weeks.
It became a bit unstable for my taste and I'm trying to install the TouchWiz based ROM (Rapture).
I tried bunch of ROM's and could only install the CM12 based ROMS(cm12, Remix) .
All the rest are taking me into boot loop.
I imagine it has to do with the wrong firmware but not sure which firmware I need and can I install it using TWRP.
Thanks a lot for the help!

You need to odin flash the latest official stock COD6 firmware for Note 4 N910T which can be
found and downloaded from http://Sammobile.com
After odin flashing you will need to root the phone with cf-autoroot and odin flash twrp recovery.
Here is a download link which contains odin, twrp and cf-autoroot for the N910T Note 4.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/i25yjb1o97o96nb/CF-Autoroot & TWRP v2.8.6.0 and ODIN3 v3.10.0.zip?dl=0
Unzip the this zip file into an empty folder on your desktop.
Once you have successfully odin flashed the firmware, cf-autoroot and twrp you will be able to
flash any custom touchwiz rom created for the Note 4 N910T device without any further issues.
Good luck, have a great day!

Flashing stock COG2

Hello,
right now I am using the 5.1.1 update +CM 12 nightly on my SM-N910T but I want to return to the stock COG2 5.0.1. At the moment the phone is rooted and using TWRP recovery. How do I flash the stock tar file I have downloaded? I can use Odin so a step by step guide will be of great help. Mainly I want to know what to do with TWRP and SuperSu after im done flashing the stock rom, and in what order I should do the whole process.
Thank you in advance!

anybody haves a flasible kitkat bootloader zip?

want to downgrade but cant find a zip of the kitkat bootloader or nk4 kernal
You can't flash the bootloader through recovery, at least not the last time I checked. The bootloader has to be flased through odin but Odin doesn't flash bootloaders, modems, etc.. We're you possibly referring to the boot.img? If so, that's a kernel.

You can grab a kernal from nearly any KitKat firmware. Download a stock rom to get a stock kernal or a custom rom for a custom kernal. Extract the rom using winrar,winzip, 7zip, or your favorite unzipping utility and you should find a "boot.img" in the root of the extracted folder. Flash the boot.img in Odin in the third slot down (i think it is labelled "PDA"). You can't use the second slot (kernal) because that slot will only allow "md5" files and the boot.img has no md5 in it. I hope this helps because I couldn't find anything KitKat related on my PC, sorry. Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions or problems, okay?
EDIT: I didn't realize when I posted this but Trex888 uploaded it for you in the post before this one (third link) has your boot.img in the download. Grab that one
