Flashing stock COG2 - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Refer to this post for the overcome full guide with images:

No way a stock rom work and GB-stock-safe-V5 bad. Usually it is just a bad download.
Find a sha1sum checker to make sure you get a good download.
Follow the guide including what to put in each of Odin's input box.
Additional comments:
You do need to be rooted before installing any custom ROM.
even to install Overcome 4.1?
I never need to root from stock.
I rephrase, you do need to be rooted before you install any custom rom from recovery mode.
You don't need to be rooted if you install any firmware stock or customs via odin or Heimdell.
So if you install the overcome using .zip file (via CWM), yes you will need to be rooted, or you will get write access failure (think of it in windows, some installations you need admin access).
So get the overcome .rar (or .md5) file and install it via odin.
Din know that.

Here are ODIN flashable, signed stock recovery images. Need to install an OTA but have TWRP, CWM, or some other custom recovery installed? You've come to the right place. Flash the recovery image from the version you're trying to update and you're good to go.

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.

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!
