The right update for GT N-7000

For the past few days I've tried to update my phone by using cm12 lollipop android 5.0.2 and it hasn't worked. I downloaded all the things needed under downloads and still have problems. I couldn't find the cm12 recovery or the files to update my phone after downloading them. If I did something wrong can someone help me since no one else can.

Note 5 MM - request how-to guide

Hello guys,
I have the note 5 n900c, and I am interested in rooting and installing custom packages.
Could anyone with some experience compile a quick guide on:
How to find the latest rooted stock firmware for Note 5
How do you keep the device updated when Samsung releases new firmware (or updates) ? do you have to wipe each time ? how do you backup if so?
I am just looking for a convenient way to root and keep the device up-to-date with all the minor fixes released by Samsung.
Thank you guys for helping.

Hi,
Firstly search XDA Note5 forum and you will learn.!
There is threads/Guide, in General forum of Note5 and on other websites /forums.
Secondly, you state you" have a note 5 n900c "..?
You sure not a" N920C "model.?
Remember , if you root you cannot install OTA /updates from Samsung, (unless you unroot etc)
Even if you manage to download a OTA, you most likely will "brick" you device!
Otherwise, you have to flash current new updated Samsung Rom , everytime and root again.
Before you attempt to root...... you have to read alot and Google search to find the correct information. Also viewing YouTube videos helps.
I can deduct from your post, you still have a lot to learn about rooting.
Don't just root because it "cool"!
Remember, in effort to root, you can brick your device...!
trip Knox, plus other issues etc. maybe your device does not want to enter "sleep" mode, maybe warranty etc. Can't install "certain apps " because your device is rooted.
So after you searched and have read the Guides that is available, then decide what you want to do.?
Also note, that for some device /models, members do not have root.. yet.!
Its your device..!
good luck

Just a quick question , what should I update in addition to the rom to keep device up-to-date : Firmware,kernel,modem or bootloader ?
I read that the rom will come bundled with some of these and others u need to update manually .
Please advise.

Hi,
Yes, if you flashed a good reliable custom Rom ,
the relevant dev of Rom most probably would keep updating "all." plus other handy mods and features. etc
He would also most probably specify this in relevant custom Rom thread (Normally , the first, second or third post.)
I would not worry to much about this. Just subscribe to that
thread, that you know of any issues or new versions
that is available.
Good luck

[TUTORIAL] PROPERLY Flashing Resurrection Remix N on Asus ZE601KL (Z00T)

I'm not the ROM Creator or Developer
I'm just sharing how I successfully installed RR N on my ZE601KL
I put strain on ZE601KL cause it was difficult to find proper help and instructions and I kept facing some or the other issues for some time
The major problem I faced was Speaker not working and I got it fixed permanently by flashing ROM with proper procedure
This ROM is published by Fabb2303 and CLICK HERE to see his original thread.
I greatly appreciate all efforts of the dev
Downloads:
RR N latest build (from his thread)
Speaker Fix (from his thread)
Latest BeanGapps-arm64-7.1 - CLICK HERE
Official Unlock App
TWRP 3.0.2-Z00T
My Procedure:
1. Initially I was on Stock Asus ROM (WW-21.40.1220.1998)
2. Then I unlocked bootloader using Official Unlock App
3. Then flashed latest TWRP-Z00T
4. Advanced Wipe : System, Data, Cache, Dalvik-Cache
5. Install RR N zip + BeanGapps + Speaker Fix (All together)
6. Wipe Dalvik-Cache and Reboot

I'm curious about your steps here. Do you really have ZE601KL?
And you really can unlock bootloader using Official unlock App?
Because i'm googling everywhere i know, i can't find a person who success to unlock bootloader a ZE601KL, using official unlock app.
Even in some sites, our device is listed among unsupported device for official unlock app..

Hi mate. I just did, yesterday, but it wasn't easy. I guess it was just cause I'm a troll, regarding development and proper use of the resources the comunity shares here.
Seems to me that it was worse cause I wasn't used to work with adb, and my device was unusable. But as soon as I got the apk in the phone and got it to work, I think I had to start the apk a few times cause of some error, but in the end it got to work. Maybe you should try again, it doesn't seem that difficult to me now, after all the trouble. Get the apk on your phone and run it from there.
I was just looking now, and the one that's said to be appropriate for ze601kl [release_UnlockApp_1211.apk] wasn't the one that did it for me. The one that worked was supposed to work with Z00L, I think [UnlockTool_ASUS_AndroidM20160928_Singed.apk].
Anyway, unlocking the bootloader doesn't give you root acces directly. I don't really understand how root access seems to work these days, apparently you need to flash some patch (after unlocking bootloader) and then you can give access to apps. I don't really understand, it was different a few years ago. It was nice to go on playstore and get a free app to give you access without any trouble. Not anymore.
Here's a link in case you need, I think it's the right ZE601KL Unlock Tool: [drive. google. com/file/d/0By51hEg7wH0ONGZ0T0JNYXhQb1E/view ]. All the best!
ps: can't post external links, just add the "http" stuff and take the spaces off.

Issue with Da-Boss mod'd Alexandr N960FXXS2ARL4 DevBase: No mobile network

Going through all close to stock roms for the N9 and thought I would try N960FXXS2ARL4 from the following thread, that was a mistake. And I would have posted this in the above thread to make people aware, but its been closed. -
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../n960f-fd-rom-devbase-modified-final-t3903293
I ended up going down this rabbit hold because the N960FXXS2ARL3 listed in the OP failed to flash, I thought nothing of this and as I have seen this issue with many other roms in the past and figured it was just a corrupt file. So I wiped and proceeded to flash an earlier version of Alexandr's DevBase (based on Android 8.x) and it was at this point I start seeing the no-entry icon in-place of the signal meter.
According to the OP in that thread N960FXXS2ARL4 is supposed to be the lastest Rom/Bootloader for Android 8.1 and I thought I was safe to flash this rom via TWRP, as I had been specifically avoiding upgrading to any stock Android 9.x rom's due to the known issue of not being able to downgrade to either stock or custom Android 8.x roms. So I flashed Android 9.0 version of Alexanders Devbase and sure enough the signal meter is back, indicated that N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader/rom from the Da-Boss thread for want of a better word f***ed something. Because even flashing the pure stock rom based on N960FXXS2ARL4 that this handset(SM-N960F) came with when I bought it will not get the signal meter to come back.
Can someone confirm if N960FXXS2ARL4 bootloader allow's backwards flashing? if yes what could have possible happened that's causing my issue?

Ok so to my chargrin after searching through Alexandr repo on androidfiles I see he had a version on his own thread that was newer than the one in Da-Boss thread. So currently I am trying various rom's to see if there is even a nats chance I can get this device back to 8.1 compliant.

plz dont post in the rom development section. post in the Q n A or general discussion sections.
also plz search about bootlaoder downgrades and revision number and modems and firmware files.
ud have seen that once you are on a revision, you cant downgrade to a lower one. BL rev is usualy 5 th character starting from the right. both your firmwares you point to are on rev 2. just check in system/software info. to know. moreover CP aka baseband aka modem dont always play nice when they arent in sync with a particular rom/base.

try this,
wipe everything > > flash latest csg5 bootloader > flash rom > flash latest csg2 modem and reboot for the first boot.
it should work properly.

I posted here because the thread with the ROM responsible for all my aggravation is in this section.
I didn't flash the modem to start with, just flashed the p.o.s. ROM from Da-Boss thread, which I can only assume tried to flash the bloody bootloader/modem which would be a feet in of itself as the flash in twrp failed. Also as I said previously this Note 9 came with N960FXXS2ARL4. Which is actually a newer version then the one in the Da-Boss thread, so flashing (or having the fail to flash) should not have caused the issue with the bootloader/modem it now has.
@mods, feel free to move this to another section, but can I request the download links in the Da-Boss thread be removed please -
As the thread is closed
It has been demonstrated here and in that thread that this ROM is badly broken.

Read the OP fella, I specifically stated I do NOT want to go to Android 9.0
Unless your saying that CSG5 Modem/Bootloader allow downgrading? if so got evidence of this...

I dont say you go for android 9.0 either.
if you dont flash latest bootloader and latest modem, you are unable to use android 8.1, I am using ASB1 oreo now.
you can downgrade BL and modem, but your modem wont work if you boot your ARL4.
thats why after rom is installed you have to flash latest modem for made it work.

I have reported the Da-BOSS thread requesting the download link be removed due to the rom being broken, so that other dont have to deal with the same aggravation I did.

The above suggestions/advice and resulted in a softbrick, where the phone would not boot. So now I am having to do what I didn't want to do and upgrade all the way to Android 9.0 just to get a working phone. To say I am unimpressed at this point is an understatement.

And to add insult to injury, I now no longer have the OEM unlock option in the dev options, for which there is no current work around.... happy ***ing days.

maybe @Da-BOSS should come and see what you went through and explain why originally you had issues and tell if it has anything to do with him requesting the rom thread to be closed.(if it was a known issue why not edit out rom links to save users from the problems...transparency is key...)
this situation reminds me of the broken twrp 3.3.1 thread from arteuse) ive asked it to be closed or at least edited to warn users about the issue with parsing scripts while flashing zip but i was told that as xda users, we should be aware that flashing what ever we find here is at or own risk. even if many have pointed out issues, they won't censure nor close anything.(mod told me this) funny how comments and posts are censured and deleted every day for foul language though....double standard maybe?

The ROM is no longer maintained and no longer supported by me so any issues you are having it surely not my fault especially if the thread are already closed due to Alexndrs already have the latest Oreo version which is ASB1 so... there's no need for ARL4 to be supported by me after ASB1 got released... why the duplication?
Why would you use something that its thread are closed? Even at the first page of the thread.. it will tell you that [Thread Closed] at the first sight ! so... it is good that you reported about the link! I didn't know that! it was taking space on my cloud drives for nothing
Edit:-
Removed the file from my drive! To prevent any new accidents from new people on xda.

I didn't say it was your fault in any of the thread's I have mentioned this specific issue, how ever in your thread a number of people mentioned having the same issue of the ROM not flashing correctly from twrp so imho you should/could have removed the link at that point. And I didn't know Alexandr's file repo was browseable untill after the fact, otherwise I would have never even looked at your thread.
Because I wanted de-bloated version of the rom already on the phone, grand atleast something good came of it and thank you for removing the link. I didnt think to email you directly about it mainly because the devs on this forum are on for the most part very busy individuals.
I gave up the fight with the Note9 in the end as I had to flash it to stock Android 9 which for me is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp.

its been reported many many many times. I've had pm and posted thread comments to the dev.
dev only made a rant reply about it and never modiyed his op. since many people have had the issue and what's deceiving is they each report the problem and blame the rom( multiple report on ambasadii and light rom threads) because they don't realize its not the rom but twrp that's not flashing correctly the rom. anyways i think it's time to ask an mod to move this thread via PM or something.
btw since ure on pie now. try ambasdii rom v5. its fully pack with features. the Rom Control is nice.

Ok we are getting a bit off topic here but @ XDA mods, WTF like! Anyway this rings a bell so I take it the current consensus is to avoid 3.3.1.0 on all devices and use the previous version for the time being?
Im not, I sold the Note9 today. Android 9 is a non-starter for the time being (no reliable xposed, so no Xprivacy), that and the CSG5 removes the OEM unlock option so no rooting and no twrp. May get a s10 or s10e once we have a working & reliable magisk, twep and xposed.
