So I've decided to move on from the TekHD rom to maybe a newer version rom (marshmallow). However, I'm confused about the process. Would I just use Odin and flash all appropriate files to be on the latest modem and basebands for marshmallow then flash the rom I want? I'm already rooted right now, would I need to reroot during the process (I.e; flashing supersu script)?
Hope this helps

I am rooted and have TWRP recovery but am still running the stock ROM and to my knowledge have not removed any preloaded apps. Wondering if I'll be able to make the 5.0 update with kies from where I'm at now or if I'll have to flash back to stock and then update.
Should just have to Factory Reset/Wipe your phone then flash the Official NK4 with Odin .. Set up phone and Update

I updated to OF4 from OF3 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...920aucu2aof3-to-of4-flashfire-update-t3181135
However I deleted some system files on OF4, Is there a full rom, not just an update to flash to get back to OF4 stock and rooted.
Not that I've seen. I think your only option is to Odin back to stock here...

Then reroot, and perform the incremental upgrades. It seems that there is little to no development and support for us at this time.
Or flash one of the prerooted older ROMS in the development section, then upgrade.

I'm running an N910T with Rapture 8.2. As this ROM apparently isn't under development or support any longer, I'd like to move to another ROM that is. I'd also like to update my baseband to N910TUVU2DOK2. To update the baseband, do I need to ODIN back to stock and upgrade from there, or can I simply ODIN the baseband and move forward? I believe that I'm currently on COG1, but can't tell because I'm running a backup just now.

You always need to Odin to the full firmware that matches the ROM you want to use. Please keep in mind that once you go to 5.1.1, you'll be stuck on lollipop bootloader.

Thanks! Should I ODIN to stock, or straight to the new ROM? I rooted and flashed my old note 2 gobs of times, but the note 4 I'm not that sure about.

You use Odin to put stock firmware on and to root and add TWRP. You use TWRP to flash ROM's.

I have gone back and forth between 5.1.1, 5.0.1, and 4.4.4 roms by using odin to flash the COG2, COD6, or ANK4 firmware first, then using odin to flash autoroot and TWRP. Then use TWRP to flash the desired rom. I have no problem going from lollipop to kitkat and back. I have used the COG2 firmware for all the 5.1.1 roms, like Texxodus, Resurrection, Slim, CM12, etc. I have used COD6 for 5.0.1 like Alliance, I have used ANK4 for Firekat. I have never had a problem reverting between any of them.
Why is DOK2 different? Does it trip some kind of hardware switch, like knox? If I was on it and used odin to flash, say, the kitkat firmware, what happens? Does odin no longer work when you're on DOK? Does it crash? Does the flash appear to work but it stays on DOK? Does it flash the firmware but bootloop? Does it brick the phone? I always thought that odin flashed firmware to the lowest level so that as long as you could connect the phone to a PC and had a good firmware load, you could restore it.
So I'm in nc2 and wanna jump up to a new rom. Thinking alliance, biggins or Arya mod. What all are you guys running and how'd you do it? I can seem. To find the thread on how to do it. Did you use safestrap or flashfire? If you used flashfire, how do you use that? I must have the stupid on the search here lately...

You got it easy.
Root with towelroot, Install SuperSU, Install Busybox, Install Safestrap 3.75. Done.
Reboot to safestrap and flash what you need. Don't worry about flashfire, you probably won't ever need to use it. Or at least out of my experience I've not had to use it. (For the note 3 that is)
I'm much more versed in rooting and roms than you assume. I'm on dk7.1 and have odind many times. Just curious as to the actual process of switching to lp. And what would need done to go back to kk if necessary
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Before you flash, just back up your kk rom. And then when you flash the rom, make sure to flash the kk kernel so safestrap is still accessible

It doesn't matter what ROM you are currently on you can always odin back to NC2 and then upgrade to NL1 or OC1/2.
Examples:
If you're on OC1/2 and want to go back to NL1, you would full odin back to NC2, re-root and such. Then flash a NL1 based ROM.
If you're on NL1 without root and want OC1/2, full odin back to NC2, re-root, etc. Then flash a OC1/2 based ROM.
I've never even head of nl1. And Don you need to flash the kernel and radio or is just the kernel necessary?
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk
It depends on the ROM you plan on going to.
AllianceROM v12 doesn't require a kernel flash
UrDroid Stock Deodexed requires an OC1 flash (optional OC2 patch available)
OC1 is 5.0
OC2 is a security patch for OC1
NL1 is 4.4.4
NJ2 is 4.2.2

Are you sure about alliance? I tried to flash that and got stuck on the Galaxy Note 3 screen
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I've ran Alliance v12 more than a few times on both my phone and my girlfriends phone, I've not once had to flash a kernel if you get stuck reboot into the stock recovery and look at the top, if it says OC1 then your on the right kernel. But flashing it definitely won't hurt anything.
This is taken out of the changelog for AllianceROM v12
ROM will automatically flash OC1 Kernel so after install, just hit reboot.

Also make sure you're on version 3.75 for Safestrap.
i have done this many times over within the past hour and safestrap wont install... i have used these exact steps b4 last year but it just wont work now....
I Rooted awhile back and I am searching the forums to find information on how to update my current 5.1.1 to Marshmallow....
Should I simply flash a new rom with ODIN? Or I need a new Kernel? I'm trying to be overly cautious. Where do I find the new Kernel or Rom? I went to the SkyHigh page that I rooted from originally but it looks like he has not updated since 5.1.1.
Any help is appreciated??
Thanks,
KJ

Hi, go a head and download a Marshmallow Firmware from here:
Firmware for sm-n920p
use this tool to download faster:
SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader
flash via odin and then search for a custom kernel. I used SkyHigh kernel for marshmallow but he isn't building kernels anymore and took all of his links down (Not in XDA) so I guess you are out of luck. But there are other custom kernels you can try.
I believe you would have better results if you search in Sprint Section (If I'm not mistaking N920P is the Sprint variant)

Here's the sprint firmware. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545065934258585 You'll lose everything so backup any pictures, music, etc.
That'll get you up to date on MM. Then I'd sign into your google/samsung accounts so you can get onto the phone and take the system OTA to the latest. Then used odin to flash TWRP, twrp-3.0.2-0-M-nobleltespr.tar. Don't let it auto reboot. Rather once flashed manually boot into recovery. If you let it reboot automatically the phone will overwrite TWRP with stock. Once you boot in recovery flash SuperSU, BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328. Then you have stock MM rooted on latest. That's what I'm running along with systemless xposed.
Though there's also the latest MOAR Rom that has a lot of options you can flash in TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...m-moar-pc3-mm-rom-v3-0-making-smoars-t3364338
