It takes a while on first boot. How long did you wait on that screen

Mostly boot time for first time likey 15 or 20 mins

Like the other said it takes a while on first boot. But if it ends up rebooting instead of going to setup, wipe data/cache and try again. Should work.

Tried to flash a rom and now I've wrecked my phone!

So I flashed the Alliance Rom for my t-mo Note 4 and all I get is the boot logo.
I've gone through with Odin and the CF auto root junk, used TWRP to wipe and flash this rom.
I got TWRP on there, but I can't seem to put any files onto my phone. Like I select mount, and when I try to drag a file over, windows wont let me.
You see, I've got this error, and it says Kernel is Not SEandroid enforcing. I have looked for a fix, and people say that I need to flash a file called stocK_kernel, which I have.
I can't get this file onto the device it seems. Anyone have any ideas of what is going on?
EDIT: tried flashing another rom using odin and now all i get the t-mobile logo...
and I can't register for sammobile because I can't pass the captcha !! It's frustrating... I can't download what I think I need >_>
Any help would be awesome
I know this is a typical problem, I've been around XDA for a while, but never made an account until I decided to actually root and try to flash my device.

A ROM using ODIN? Which one? If it's Lollipop...and you are on the T-Mobile logo screen, how long did you wait? It takes ~10 minutes to boot. But, if you are on the Samsung screen, there is a problem. So, I'm currently thinking you are not waiting long enough?
Try putting your rom in the extsd or internal and flash from there.
I would grab the stock firmware and flash that using Odin. Don't forget to factory reset using stock recovery after flashing stock firmware.
Just start over.
Then root and install twrp, once your back at square one, then put your rom of choice on either of the SD locations and flash using twrp.
A bootloop after flashing a rom is usually, in my experience, a kernel issue. So it couldn't hurt to have an alternate compatible kernel to flash if you need it.
If you have TWRP all is not lost. If you flashed the stock ROM then you probably don't have TWRP anymore. Its just about impossible to wreck this phone by flashing ROMs. I would ODIN to the stock COD6 build. I believe there is a thread with all the files you need in one zip. Follow those instructions and it should get you back to stock rooted and you can go from there with flashing ROMs again.

No the rom doesn't use Odin. But I imagine the person had to root and flash a custom recovery as well. The rom of course had to be flashed in recovery.

Can't catch a break - need help! DM-Verity Verification Failed.

Trying to flash my Note 4 (Canadian version - N910W8) with either the AllianceROM 1.1 or TEKXodus 3.6 ROMs. Can't seem to get it done and I'm so incredibly frustrated.
Chronologically-speaking, here's what I did.
1. Rooted with appropriate Auto-Root file with Odin 3.09
2. Used Flashify to flash the latest TWRP files (2.8.7)
Most of the time, I just reboot onto "dm-verity verification failed." I've tried everything I can think of.
Sometimes, I get lucky and boot into TWRP. When I flash using TEKXodus 3.6 ROM, it proceeds to do everything but then, the screen goes black and I can never boot. I've read it can take 15 min for it to boot. I've waited 30 min with nothing. Only thing I could do is boot back into Download mode to reflash it with a stock ROM through Odin.
I don't understand why this doesn't work and I've flashed a bunch of phones before without any issue! Help? Anybody? UGH!

So i see your posting about your flashing but what about your wipes..
Nandroid backup ext sd.
Then reboot twrp.
Wipe sys/dal/cache/data..
Include the internal if after what i posted above doesnt work.
Check the md5 sum of your downloaded rom..
Nav to your ext sd were you should have the rom stored..
And flash the rom..
Curious as to why you used flashify to get twrp.. it comes in a tar and flashes easy in odin..
You might wanna try that as well twrp may not be installed 100% corectlly.
Ok..[emoji41] [emoji106]
Last but not least you need to use bishock kern in your flash after the Rom flash, in the same session before reboot.
Or it will never work.
You booting problem more than likely kernel related..

BOOTLOOP after 5.1.1

Anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on with my note? i was coming from tekxodus rom back to a stock firmware and now i cant seem to get out of this bootloop. i downloaded firmware and flashed it using odin... it passed. then just goes from samsung note 4 logo to samsung circle logo to tmobile freezes for 3 minutes then repeats. Its odd
That happened to me as well. I had forgotten to turn on OEM unlock. Pull battery and renter download mode. Use Odin to reinstall TWRP then restore a backup. Turn on OEM unlock and then flash the firmware again with Odin
i happened to me going from cog2 to dok2. i was not planning to stay unrooted on stock.
i pulled battery.. flashed twrp... pulled battery... then flashed a rooted rom and all was well with the world.
i assumed it was because i did not unroot and do full internal wipe.. but then as i was mostly just updating baseband i did not do any further troubleshooting
Ok im going to flash old one unlock oem and get back to you guys
didnt work tried two roms on 5.1.1 both didnt have oem unlock inside developer options so weird. then i when to twrp hit factory reset then flashed firmware and that worked. im glad i lucked out with that method weird how you have to factory reset to flash an entirely new firmware you would think the script running would do that.
Glad you got it working. I thought Odin wiped everything including internal storage but it did not. When I flashed the stock firmware I still had my settings and storage was untouched. Not what I remember from my Note 3 days

Boot loop and recovery loop only able to get to download frp lock

Hello, I've got a Note 5 on sprint n920p. I've had twrp and spacex kernel for ages without any trouble. Today however, I logged into a different google account on my phone and it rebooted. Now It wont boot or go into recovery. FRP is blocking my attempts to flash twrp via odin. I am stumped is there anything I can do?
Try flashing stock rom

Thank you! It was so incredibly easy! I just needed to calm down a bit and wait for the rom.
What're the steps to flash a stock rom? I basically have the same problem but I can't even boot into TWRP recovery.
First, I had to wait several hours for a rom to download from sammobile. Then, I put my phone in download mode and used odin with the rom in the ap slot. Voila, it worked ending days of frustration. Took a bit to configure itself. Avoid wasting time dont download a deodexed rom. You'll need the rom as a single file.

Use odin 3.13.1 latest
Check nand erase all in odin options
Check F-reset time in odin options
Check Auto reboot in odin options
Make sure download and Flash latest stock firmware
Boot straight into stock recovery after odin show pass
Wipe data factory reset in recovery
Wipe cache in recovery
Reboot and wait 10 to 15 minutes on 1st boot
Done
