I bought a Note 4 last week and have been excited to get it up and running. However, I haven't had any luck finding a ROM that will encrypt. I've tried (and love) OvrDriVE's MM, N5 port, and v7.1.1, as well as a few of the debloated stock ROMs, N5 Express, CM 13, and CMremix.
I tried encrypting through adb shell w/proper commands. No luck. I'm not sure if it's a kernel issue or what. I also tried to go back to ANK4 to try encryption with FireKat, but I'm unable to flash stock ANK4 over DOK2.
I flashed OEM DOK2 and was able to encrypt, but then I can't have a custom recovery or even root. I'm banging my head against the wall, hence my post and request for advice! I need encryption for work, and I would really love to enjoy one of the dev's ROMs instead of running stock. Do you guys have any ideas for me, perhaps DOK2 ROMs that you know will encrypt?
Hi. I am struggling with the same issue. Have you found the reason yet? I love the phone and with 7.1 and encryption it could stay for the next years in one of my hands. Cheers

So I've been out of the game for so long. Just lurking here and there but not much motivation to dive in again. I've always read and researched before trying anything. Anyways, I successfully rooted my tombola note 4 after I had received the stock July security mm update which I guess also updated the bootloader and modem. Prior to doing anything I installed 12.1 and the gaps. Everything was working fine after a clean flash. Got home and notice the WiFi toggle was taking forever to load or crash completely but never actually connecting. I then read and dub through pages on the cm remix page and saw people talking about downgrading the bootloader to epe3. My confusion is. I want to eun an aoso rom. I have my headaches with tw. Is it absolutely necessary to downgrade the bootloader AND modem to epe3 from latest or is there go g to be a fix in the future as roms get updated. Also can I used mobile Odin to do this. I only have a mac available and was only able to Odin to install twrp at my work pc which I shouldn't have used . Any help would be appreciated.

If you have a T3, then probably you are out of luck and won't be able to downgrade your bootloader.
For now, you would need to stick with TW MM roms only if you need a working wifi., and just wait till CM is supported by new EPG2 bootloader.

I'm on the other model. I found out I can use flash fire but the settings don't always stick. I'll just wait until the devs update to include the new bootloader. For now I can use cm 12.1 . I really despise tw . I only got the note 4 for price and rooting ability. I got it prowled for cheap. Plus removable battery and SD card.

According to fattire theres not likely going to be any further support for the Note 4 unless someone else steps up. Especially the way the binaries are set up would take a lot of work to get to play nicely with CM and AOSP ROMs.
So I was running LiquidSmooth 5.1.1 CM-based ROM for a longest time. But the times they are a changin. MM stock came. But with it I don't see that many ROMs - 2 so far. Both of each have issues. Iron has bloated from 1.4 GB stock to 2.3GB, what an achievement. Simpler doesn't like OpenGapps. It seems everybody is happy with stock MM.
I'm not. I miserably failed to get rid of Knox, or whatever new AKMS name Gnusmas came up with. That Knox bastard shows its notification every time I setup WiFi. Knox thinks that restarting and reverting the change (WiFi ?) is par for course. Primary cause is TWRP recovery (non standard). So I cannot have root, cannot have TWRP, cannot get rid of bloat, battery life and smoothness suffering, cannot use root apps like TiBu.
I ended up using Schischu's MM, which gave me zero issues, worked with OpenGapps with half-kick, and I have Screen-on-time around 8 hours, which is astonishing.
Just install the stock ROM. Works fine for me. The TWRP and SuperSU install is pretty standard. I have no idea what you're whining about. Maybe you should no use "non-standard"?
tried stock
tried stock - wifi would reset after reboot due to Knox.
Look for sweet rom it is at lollipop but it is Knox free.....
I don't know what knox has to do with wifi. At least, I haven't heard about it yet, and haven't observed it myself.

There must be something else going on. I'm rooted with Superuser & TWRP on stock MM. I'm not having any wifi or Knox issues.

Is there literally nothing for this? I've got the method to downgrade to 4.1.1 but that only yields root apparently. No custom roms or anything.
Is there anything available for this tablet or remarkable about being on 4.1.1 I've searched both on all boards here on Tab S2 and it seems useless.
Aside from that, is there any way to unlock the simcard slot?
I apologize for the questions but it's looking like the tab may as well stay on 6.0.1.
Thanks for comments and advice, and yes, I've searched up and down (T817T all boards, etc.)
You have got to search and read through a bit more.
I only got this tablet (a used one of course) only 2 days back, so others may be able to help you more.
For me I just rooted the tablet and installed some xposed modules. For my need with the tablet, I don't need anything else.
Unlocking simcard slot has to be done from tmobile. I am not aware of any hacks available in xda.
You can install twrp and root the device if you want. T810/T815 they uses the same chipset. The information I have gathered so far indicate that you can install aosp roms for those models, but you shall not get cellular connectivity. Any chance of having official Nougat on this tablet is very very slim. There are some aosp 7.0 roms, but they are in early developmental stage; things like fingerprint sensor won't work.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on any of the things I mentioned.
I no longer have tmobile.
Could I flash the t810 firmware onto the t817 tab s2? This way I could get the updates straight from Samsung.
I was only able to get one ROM to work on mine. Ultimately, I gave up and just kept it stock.

I'm also frustrated with the T817T. I have been able to root it, flash TWRP, but I have never been able to flash a custom ROM. I have heard that the T815 ROMs should work, but I get an error in TWRP if I try to flash one.
I was reading something in the Note 10.1 2014 forum that you could flash the P605 (International) ROM to the P607T (T-Mobile) if you unzipped the ROM, removed the modem files, and rezipped it. I'm wondering if something like this would work for the T817T as well.
If anyone has any ideas how to do this, please respond here.
Hi, I have been seeing significant lag of my phone and various times to the point that my phone becomes inoperable for a period of time and after the phone recovers it never goes back to full speed., I have to restart. I'm stock not rooted anymore and recently formatted and started from scratch but see no improvement. This is especially annoying when running android auto at which point the phone and the app barely work. Any suggestions? I don't think its a better thing because i had it happen at 60 and at 40 though definitely see it more at 40 or less. Is there a good way to see what app might be causing this?
Install a different kernel. Stock is garbage

I don't think k I want to root again.
You don't need root to install a custom kernel. In fact you don't even need to install TWRP. Using ADB you can flash the custom kernel. Just make sure you have USB debugging enabled in Developer Options and make sure your bootloader is unlocked.

Same exact issue here. F*** Google for screwing up our stock phones and not fixing them. What would you suggest for a kernal and rom. It has been a long time since I was rooted with a custom rom but I can't take this for another day.

Hello... I think all ROMs perform the same in term of fluidity and speed. Some have different features and customization options. I run Pure Nexus on my N6, N6P and Pixel XL. All use ElementalX kernel. I like this configuration. But there is a lot of different possibilities.
I suggest you to look at the forum and read a little bit the first posts of the different ROMs/kernels and see what they have to offer. :good:
Good luck...
I've had this same exact issue. I thought about switching back to MM because I had great battery life on MM. I also thought about flashing Franco Kernel and go from there. It is one that has the option to hide that the bootloader is unlocked. I don't really want to have my bootloader unlocked, and I don't think I can make changes to the kernel easily without having it rooted, something else I also don't want to do. Maybe MM is the best option. Google is still sending out security updates for MM.
Well problem solved I should say. Used nexus root kit to root and install Pure nexus. Only issue I had was I had a gapps from 2015 that crashed everything so I reinstalled with a new gapps. Working great and the speed is back.
Then unless you wanted an old copy, you downloaded the wrong version of Pure Nexus. The latest version includes the Google apps in the ROM, eliminating the need to flash a GApps package.
When i got the phone the other day, it was running Tmo official 7.0. But the bloatware drove me to mod within minutes. I rooted it in short order successfully but since rooting, ive been having issues getting most ROMS to run, except for a few Adzcache had up on Androidfilehost. Those roms seem to be for the g920w8. but at least they boot and run, though only up to 6.0.1. My question is, whether i have an option to get a 7.0 ROM running on this. Any help or input is appreciated. Ive tried many roms, both odin loaded and flashed with twrp. so far only Adzcaches seem to stick. Ideally, I'm looking for a LOS15 ROM if at all possible or this bad boy. Again, thanks for any input in advance.
