How can we root this device?

Unfortunately I have not found a way to root it yet.

it is possible to root:
i found it in the official forum bbs.elephone.hk
to root the stock rom lollipop 5.0 you need SP-Flash Tool and the CWM Recovery for lollipop, you can find it all on needrom.com
just unpack, flash the recovery.img with SPFT, put BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip on telefon or sdcard, go to recovery and flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
or you can make a downgrade to kitkat 4.4.4 because the stock 5.0 is very buggy. The Kitkat Rom you can find also on needrom.com is already rooted.

Thanks! But in the latest update for the Lollipop ROM they fixed the bugs. So it s not buggy anymore, please tell me what bugs you still have or mean? No need to go back to 4.4.4 anymore as I see it.

My phone is sometimes very hot under use.
Some Apps doesnt install because it says not compatible with this version or device ... but i use market helper to install it.

Did you install latest firmware update? and what apps do not work for you? give me 3 examples.

Hi,
Just receive my G2 yesterday and experience really hot operating temperature (upper left corner). I was thinking about downgrading to Kitkat as I am currently on Lollipop. Apparently I shall have the latest firmware (build Elephone_G2_20150424). @ s7yler have akso experience this warm/hot operation phenomena ?

I spent hours failing to flash the recovery and getting nonsensical error messages ('Perhaps the phone has powered up too quickly"), before realizing that I did not have the latest version of SPFT. Older versions will not work with the MTK6732M. Everything went smoothly once I used SPFT v5.1516.00; later versions will also work, of course.
(a) Unzip the custom recovery you get from needrom.com or elsewhere
(b) Install MTK-SP drivers
(c) Run SPFT and select the scatter file in the unzipped recovery package
(d) Press download with the phone NOT connected to the PC
(e) Then connect the phone via USB with battery removed
See this link for more details
The above steps will flash the recovery. you can also flash a new ROM (e.g. CWM if it is ever released) in the same way.
For the next step (flashing SuperSU to root) you do not need a PC; do it through the recovery. (To boot into recovery, hold the VolUp and Power buttons down at the same time until the phone vibrates breifly.) Also it is not necessary to flash the beta version of SuperSU; the stable version (currently 2.46) will work fine. Just to state the obvious, installing SuperSu from Play won't root the phone.

Nobody posting.. Nobody else owning this device here?! Strange, regarding it's quality for the price..

I own this device. Actually it isn't really a great deal. Personally wouldn't recommend. Totally waste of money. Despite official promises phone received no updates or any other ROMs are available. Overheating and poor performance on official lollipop so far. Housing is covered with cheap glossy paint which can be easily damaged. Screen quality does not satisfy at all. It has edgy picture and poor, step-switch backlit. On screen buttons have no backlit at all. And serious battery calibration issues, phone doesn't display real data at all and doesn't last long.

Already ordered (the last!!) G9, sounds bad..

Issues so far: (stock lollipop)
screen brightness fixed (will post zip later)
battery life fixed by decreasing CPU frequency and disabling unnecessary network bands
overheating fixed by decreasing CPU frequency
dialer call limit exceeded problem fixed (will post zip later)
headphones audio left-right balance fixed (will post zip later or you can use any equalizer)
After I fixed, overheating and battery issues device is not that bad after all. If you have problems with installing software from PlayStore gets the gapps from here. The overheating problem is due to processor being throttled up to 1287 MHz by default. Get root version of SetCPU and set governor to userspace 468-468 cfq. Add profile for Screen off event 702-468 userspace. Also disable unnecessary bands in engineering menu for better battery life. All of the above is for stock 5.0. Have not tried device on stock KK, but according to user reviews on Russian forums performance is great. I am using the phone as my main device on custom lollipop MIUI V7 5.10.2 by rediska32 from 4PDA forums. After investing some to fix issues I am pretty satisfied with G2, considering the price. Device easily holds up to 64GB sd (have not tried more). My screen brightness is usually around 40-60% and battery hold up to 2 days of moderate using. Forget the camera btw. PM me if you have any questions, I will post available fixes and ROMs for G2 here.

Hello. I've got Elephone G2 Android 5.0 which have a bug with switching MAC-adress after every restart. Found this instruction (from official elephone forum), but the stock ROM (also official one) doesn't contain MD1_DB and AP_DB files. Also I found MD1_DB file in my phone, but I have no idea where can I found the second one. What am I doing wrong?

You probably damaged your NVRAM

Here is backup of stock NVRAM with fix for MAC and NVRAM Warning err 0x10. Try replacing wifi and wifi_custom files in nvram\APCFG\APRDEB only. If this does not help re-flash stock and do it again. If you loose your NVRAM you can use this backup to restore it. Just edit the imei and mac. And always backup before doing anything to your device. Hope this helps.

It looks like v2 Zip file is corrupted
About v1:
* I love the menus, he new layout, the overall appearance
* The ROM is snappy but definitely slower than MSI
* I have an issue with the drop down menu. It works well with ADW @ 240 dpi (ie the original settings)
When I move to 180dpi it still works
When I install my applications, it just get screwed up and never drops down to the bottom and get stuck there with no reaction
Think it comes from bad interaction with Launcher Pro... Will try uninstalling but it could be any of my other apps....
Anyway I think I am just going to revert back to MSI... Spent already too much time experimenting
Since you are into porting other OS, what about this OS called "ICS" ? Ehehe
*** Edit: uninstalled Launcher Pro but my Status Bar is still screwed... Must be another of my apps but can't try one by one...
I guess MSI will remain my main ROM (It's anyway faster)
*** Edit 2: maybe I was unfair about the speed. The CPU wasn't overclocked (Fr some reason) and the governor was not my governor of choice. Nevertheless the issue with the status bar is upsetting me. I just have no idea what is causing this Definitely one of my apps given the fact it happens after restoring my apps through Titanium Backup

Now I am really f#cked...
I cant boot anymore and my tab in CWR refused to go to the end of installaion of any ROM I have on my SD Card
When I switch off the battery charging icon just show grew but doesn't go up to the step where it shows the battery charging. Will try flashing from download mode maybe but now I am really worried. Might have to go through reformating partition but then I'll loose everything I saved on internal SD
Sh#t... Never happened to me before
The error I get is:
assert failed : getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" etc, etc... (Lots of text
And then E: Error in /emmc/goomanger/BLINDMokee_v1.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
Tried from my external SD with other ROMS and get exactly the same message
No...
Anybody has a clue on how to make an Odin package from one of the CWMR zip files? I gess Ill try that first
If not working I might have to go through a repartitioning but does anybody know if I have any chance to accces first to my internal SG to backup all my stuff (from CWMR)... Really worried to loose a lot of data now...
Edit: When i plug the tab it doesn't stay in charging mode, but instead boots into recovery. That's really weird and I am quite worried it is actually not charging... In which case this means I don't have much time before fixing the tab. After that no battery and probbaly no way to charge it... It is not techniclly bricked since I can access CW Recovery and download mode, but I ma quite worried
Is this the awaited update to msi or shall we expect another?

I downloaded it and installed it. Very nice rom. Beautiful and smooth with lots of goodies. However, I unistalled it after 10 minutes. I downloaded, wiped, wiped, and wiped. Installed, booted, rebooted to recovery fixed permissions "enjoyed ". Camera forced closed every time. Wiped repeated the whole process with an extra wiping. Still no camera. I went to the market and downloaded a camera app but that didn't help.
Nice rom if you can do without the camera.
I can't. I actually use my tab as my only device. Its got to do it all with stability.

here is uncorrupted v2 zip.
camera seems to work (a tester sent me a video and picture
(tester also adds, "its a neat camera app. love the options)
after fully booted, try a kernel from here: http://goo.im/devs/dizgustipated/Kernels
the landscape kernel is tons better
Diz in testing the BlindMooke I have found it to be fast reliable and everything is working well for me. Currently I am on V2.
Camera works perfectly and I like the app. Nice to have the 2d barcode button there ready to go.
** Note - Update the kernal, I suggest BOCA landscape, no issues with camera after this.
3g works fine and is fast, getting good HSPA speeds. Crossing the harbour bridge in Sydney on my Gs2 using droptus often drops the connection for a short time, using the tab I get a good signal so can't fault it.
After fixiing permissions wifi is fast and connects immediately.
The controls are brilliant, nicely laid out and easy to understand.
I am using SBP 3d launcher, the extra ram from the ROM and kernal allows it to run very well.
In the settings, notification options they menu is all in chineese which so far is the only fault I can find.
I love this rom due to the great layout, good graphics and great functions. To install I followed your intructions.
1. baclup with titanium.
2. factory reset
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik cache
5. Install ROM
6. Install your kernal. Boca Landscape is a good one to use.
7. fix permissions.
8. reboot. wait install super user.
9. reboot and use it.
I have had issues in the past with the camera app FCing, I did a restock at that point to ensure there were no files left over causing me problems. I have not had a problem since and that includes with testing Joy as well as Mooke and blind mooke.
Key here is this ROM is for those who want a good easy to use nice ROM. It does not yet allow you to set your govener, it isn't built for being a rocket but it is nice with many features that are just brilliant.
if you want control, long battery life and high speed go MSI.
If you like another well known look and feel then Diz has something for you as well. For me this is my ROM.
First Diz, I'd like to thank you a million times for your patience nd helping me step by step to get out of the corner where I was stuck. Even though your ROMs were not faulty at all you help me to get my Tab back to normal and fully functioning without any data lost
As far as BlindMOOKE is concerned, I share the opinion below. t looks really nice and is extremely comfortable. It is probably your nicest looking ROM. But for speed lovers MSI is the one
I disagree on one point though: you can have the control of the governor, the overclcking and the undervolting as lo as you ave the right kernel (I use Voltage Control or CPU Master and they both work well with the lndscape knel for instance)

Thanks, yes you are right with apps to control the CPU etc but just now the selection of govener isn't available in the ROM.
I am not a power user so this one works for me, I did find issues with autobrightness and the Quick Pic app after taking a photo was crashing. Did an update on that in the market and all is fine with camera and photos.

If you wanta large choice of governor you ca flash another kernel from Diz
I would advise the Landscape kernel where you have a large choice
They are available on Goo manager
I need testers (i now have 8 roms and need a wider tester base)
please contact me @ [email protected], (gmail or gtalk)
thank you
You must know logcat and how to use heimdall

i've been using this rom for a few days now, and my goodness diz! i love this more than i love msi!

Caesar 9600 received ! It's the OEM version of Zopo zp900H (zp910) so I installed directly the official ROM from Zopo.
It works like a charm, here the screeshot about the phone :

I upgraded the full ROM via SP Flash Tool.

Received mine a week. The phone goes pretty good. The only problem is the microphone is not working. An external microphone works, so probably it's a hardware fault. I will contact tomorrow seller support team. Too bad

Mine is pretty good too,
The pros :
- large screen
- very good perfs
- complete package with flip cover, two batteries, screen protection, headset
- CWM and ROM from Zopo work
The cons :
- the speaker are a little weak, you need to increase the volume in engineer mode
- the camera, like many smartphone, is too dark. You need to adjust the exposition or take pictures in perfect conditions
- GPS tweak is needed too, but it's the same on any MTK device
So in a word, at this point, it satisifed me.
I'll contact Zopo to obtain the source code of their ROMS, we need it ! A custom kernel should be a good point.

Nope, I tested the WiFi card even on Caesar stock ROM (repacked ROM from Zopo) and on Zopo zp900H official ROM.
Under the both version I have the same MAC address...
Maybe the upgrade to the latest version (Android 4.1.2) resolve your problem ... take it on the Zoppo Baidu page (link on the first post).

You can try to read the method to resolve that issue on the Zopo ZP810/ZP800H also known as Hero 7500+.

:S I not have a problem (I have this mobile) and it is rare, have not you any aplication what change the mac address of the Wifi or aplication of the network ?
Yes, it's a Caesar A9600.
No app installed that can change Mac Address.
I will try to install the latest version from Chinese site.
Is this a mult-language version, and without chinese apps ?
And because i'm a real newbie, where can i find a method to flash an official rom for this phone, with all the steps i have to do ?
PS : i have read that the ZP810 have the same problem on Zopomobileshop forum.

This isn't a bug, it's standard with the recent zopo and zopo oem releases...
This fix should work with a9600... it works with 950h and 800h

Caesar A9600 MT6589
Hi I purchased this mobile the Caesar A9600 MT6589 from a Chinese site (mcbub - the worst site I came across in my entire existence) and they are stating that the phone cannot be rooted.
I am a bit afraid to put the original firmware or ROM from z0p0 as I don't wish to brick the phone. is there anything I can check to see if the original ROM fits my mobile?
Cheers

I have read in several forums, that the Zopo ZP900H/ZP910 and die Caesar A9600 are identical. An that Caesar is the cheaper OEM brand of Zopo. My Caesar A9600 runs with zero problems with the Zopo Firmware.
Install CWM or TWRP, make a backup of the stock firmware and feel free testing.
how do you flash to a new firmware? is it by using SPtools or by CWM?
Is there step by step of flashing?
Solved: SP_Flash_Tool Thanks
I received the ZP900H last week. It came with firmware 130226 (4.1.2). I actually downloaded the firmware from the manufacturer website and rooted it before I get the phone. I found this firmware quite sluggish.
Then I know about the Jaynes ROM. The Jaynes 130319 (4.1.2) ROM definitely feels faster and smoother than the 0226. It is rooted and has CWM. I only have one complaint - web browser scrolling (stock and Dolphin) is quite slow. It seems to resist my finger moving the screen, and there is no scroll inertia. Pinch zoom is fast and smooth, much better than the previous FW.
I also tried out Jaynes 4.2.1 firmware but I don't like it - feel like I am back to the sluggish 0226 FW. Btw the Jaynes 4.2.1 firmware does NOT have root (no superuser / supersu app or su binaries) - I have to unpack system.img and add su binaries myself.
Overall the performance is good for the price of the phone - full HD videos (web browser Flash video or downloaded videos on MX player) have no trouble at all. It does NOT feel any faster than my Galaxy Note N7000 with the dual core Exynos 4210 and Mali 400. I don't have a quad core GN2 to compare. One minor thing is that the Developer options are incomplete (in fact you can only access three items - stay awake, USB debugging, allow mock location). I prefer access to all the tweaks.
Battery life with the 4.1.2 FW is OK - wifi access to the internet playing youtube or vimeo flash videos last about 4-4.5 hours.
MT6589 twrp
MT6589 Partition(6M) is too small, Able to remove the root?
Has someone tested the GPS during navigation?
Is the accurency enough strong to use in a car as a real GPS?
Thanks.
Tested GPS on a 60 kilometers route in a small city without high buildings, country roads and highway. GPS application was iGO Primo. GPS-fix was fast, but I added modded gps.conf for my country before. There was no loss of GPS connection on my trip - I am satisfied and would recommend this this phone for car navigation.

POMP C6S 5.5" NFC/Octa-Core 1.7GHz MTK6592 2GB RAM/32GB ROM DualSIM / 1920x1080 FHD

POMP C6S 5.5" NFC/Octa-Core 1.7GHz MTK6592 2GB RAM/32GB ROM DualSIM / 1920x1080 FHD
Topic is about the new POMP C6S 5.5" NFC/Octa-Core 1.7GHz MTK6592 2GB RAM/32GB ROM DualSIM / 1920x1080 FHD.
Let us collect all hacking & development info here about this device, and help each other.
First impressions
This is a really HIGH QUALITY phone from China.
What I like about it? I like the simple square design, and the screen is big and clear, when off the screen is 100% black (not grey). Also the phone is pretty thin. Another great plus is the high build quality and that it has REAL features like NFC, OTG, MHL/HDMI, WIFI DIRECT/Miracast and 2GB RAM/32GB ROM!
Pros: The phone is very fast! 28800 in AnTuTu says it all. High build quality and very good materials. The screen is also of a very high quality, and the fact that the whole screen is totally black when off is something I really like. The batterylife is very good, it seems to be a true 3000 mah battery in this device. The phone has a dedicated hardware button for the camera. The SIMtray is a dualsimtray for 2 micro SIM cards. The reception/signal is strong in this device, so far I had no problems when talking with people. The sound/backspeaker and headphone quality is also very good and loud. The phone support real OTA, OTG, MHL, Miracast, Airgestures in both ways and NFC which is real nice features.
Cons: The UI is not everyones taste - but you can just install another launcher! No notification LED as far I can see.
The lockscreen is pretty standard. The backcover can not be removed, also the builtin memory can't be extended, but it comes with total 32GB ROM. The price for this phone is a bit high, but on the other hand, you get a phone with high quality! For some people this phone may be too big, it has a 5.5 inch screen.
Benchmarks
AnTuTu score is: 28822

Hey, you can see how it work here in my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws8_aZ2Gsg4
it is basically the same for the Pomp C6S (and all other MTK6592) as for the phone I use in that video.
You just need a TV with miracast builtin, or an external miracast dongle connected to it. Then on the phone you go in the settings and connect it. You don't need any extra software etc.
The POMP also support cable, MHL to HDMI, so you can connect via cable also to a TV.
Thank you i will try
By the way, here you have updated version v2.03 multilanguage for this phone ive already uploaded in case you dont have installed (i dont think so normally it comes with v2.00) http://www.needrom.com/mobile/pomp-c6s-2/ and tell me how it works with your phone, it seems to be bit better

Hi thanks, I have 2.02 it seems. So 2.03 have how many languages? Do I just put C6Spomp_92_cn_fhd_en_fomat_v2.03_kashua.zip on the sdcard in the root? and then choose update from locale file in the settings? or just with Spflashtool?
How did you root your C6S?
Any other changes in 2.03? And do I have to clear any caches or factory reset afterwards? Where did you get 2.03 from? (sorry for all the questions )

Device will get a little hot around the camera area on the back, when running 3D games.
Camera could be better, but it is generally ok for the price!

Hi,
Great start of new topic/model, and nice links to possible fixes.
I just received my Elephone P2000 and after a few days I am still in doubt about it.
It is a lot of phone for little money, but looking at the specs I had my expectations set a bit higher.
Okay, maybe I am a bit prejudiced as I use this phone to replace my iPhone 5s
I ran into the same issue with adding Widgets, so I am glad there is a fix. Thanks for that !
The main problem I am still facing (and on bbs.elephone.hk I read that I am not the only one) is the Wifi connection. It keeps dropping at random. This makes the phone utterly useless for me since push mail, whatsapp, newsflash, etc are simply unreliable
I think the 720p screen is not as bad as some reviewers state. Even for a big 5.5" screen it is quite okay. Still in doubt if 5.5" is the right size for me
The camera however is a real disappointment, 13MP but grainy and unfocused.
Battery runs out quite fast. Even without WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS I managed to run out within 4 hours of fiddling around.
Although memory seems plenty, I ran out of memory quite rapidly when installing software, and found that adding a microSD card and using APP2SD solved my problem.
It took me a while to figure out how to place the 2 SIM cards (1 regular and one micro) and the microSD memory card, but once I managed to fit them this really works fantastic.
I hope Elephone will come up with more software updates since this could really be a nice phone for a nice price, and 5.5" is really in the demand at the moment.
Keep up the good work with adding updates and user experiences! Thanks !
Thanks for your feedback! I agree that the phone can not be compared to a iPhone 5. But also remember the huge price difference!
You also cant compare a Porsche with an Audi, both fine cars, but they are not the same class and cost different.
Regarding the WiFi, it is strange, because I have not experienced any problems with the WiFi on mine. It always works stable. But I agree that the camera could have been much better, its not super good. Just ok for fun pictures I would say.
Battery in standby mode is good for me, several days, but when I use it, only max 1 day. But try to disable GPS and Googles location service, it uses a lot of extra battery! And if it doesn't help, turn the brightness of the screen 10% down.
excuse me guys...it's vroot secure for unlock the elephone? i read about a malware in vroot process....

Hi,
I used VRoot 1.73 from vrootdownload.org and mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot since this was supposed to be in English. The newer 1.7.8 seems to be available only in Chinese, and my Chinese is quite limited
Installation is quite easy (start the setup on your Windows machine/virtual-machine and do not choose all the extra software and browser add-ons, start the VRoot program, hook up the phone to your system, press ROOT...and wait..phone reboots and windows software states 'rooted'). After installation I found 2 Icons with chinese text on the phone, 1 containing (chinese) advertisements and links to other software from the developer mgyun, and one supposedly something to do with the rooting/super-user proces (also most text and choices in chinese). The rooting proces is quite simple...and appears successful (apps requiring root access do start).
However, chinese pop-ups keep coming up when a proces requires root/superuser access and I have no clue what choices to make.
This made me decide to 'unroot' and remove the software. The chinese advertisement link remains on the phone, but this can easily be uninstalled.

I completely agree that this phone is in another league and cannot be compared to iPhone. The price is incredible for this phone, plus the huge 5,5" inch screen (bigger screens seem to be the current 'fashion'), dual sim, and the fantastic specs made me buy it. Without looking at the specs (octacore, memory, fingerprint, ips, etc) I would have been amazed...simply because of its price and neat design.
I have seemed to narrow the WiFi problem down to problems with DHCP. When I assign a fixed address the phone disconnects (according to wifi fixer) and reconnects, but when using dhcp things appear to go wrong. At home of course I can assign a fixed address, but at work and public places this is no option. There seem to be multiple users on the elephone forum that experience similar wifi problems, so I hope there will be a fix.
Interesting to see if there will be a stable and supported version of MIUI rom for the P2000, did you try the beta ?
Thanks!

Just flash this ROM with Spflashtool from needrom http://www.needrom.com/mobile/elephone-p2000-3/
After that you will have ROOT, not with vROOT but with normal SuperSU (not in Chinese). Also this ROM fixes the widgets and gives you wake gestures, so you can for example draw a C when the screen is off and it starts the Camera, or you just double tap to wake the screen.
I did not try the MIUI beta, because some features still don't work.
tnx
i prefer make root in a clean rom. can i use framaroot? i don't see elephone in compatibility list...any one have used frama root?

That ROM is clean, it is from Elephone and also the only ROM that fixes the widgets. Framaroot cant root this phone. If you want to root your old ROM manually you can only do it with the "read back method" and MTK droidtools plus Sp flash tool.
Read back root tutorial here by ITXtutor (but it is more complicated)
http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-100-Working-ROOT-CWM-Readback-your-ROM-with-SP-Flash-Tools
ok
mhmm...ok i think that i try needrom's rom xD hahaahahaha
so..i read this in rom description:
I do NOT recommend to flash the "Preloader" so please untick that part in SP Flash Tools before you flash!
(You can flash it anyway without the Preloader, then it will just keep your original on the phone).
ALWAYS have a working backup of your original ROM before you flash a new unknown ROM.

Just untick the Preloader in Spflash tool after you loaded the scatter file and before you then flash, so you flash everything but the Preloader. Its safer to keep the original Preloader intact on the phone.

No, there is no problem that you don't flash the Preloader. The Preloader is the same, both ROMs are 4.4.2 Kitkat, only change is that the new ROM has fixed widgets and some extra features. Even IF there should be a problem, you could always flash the preloader afterwards again. But it is recommended never to flash the Preloader, better just leave the original on the phone. But if you want you can also just try to flash it, should be okay. But its not necessary.
On older devices, flashing the Preloader could brick them (in the told days) therefore it is not recommended. And you don't need to flash the Preloader when you flash new ROM, so why run the risk?

No the ROM don't change your camera or speed. Its the same as you current ROM, just with some fixes. If your not satisfied with the ROM then just flash the old ROM back again. The stock normal ROM can also be found on needrom.com

SuperSU can give problems with this ROM and some applications that can be resolved by replacing SuperSU by Superuser from ClockworkMod.
I had problems with Titanium Backup and those were solved by the change above.
Which USB drivers P2000 and Win 8.1 64bit?
Can anyone tell me which usb drivers to use for Elephone P2000 in Win 8.1 64bit.
Droid Tools en SP Flashtool do not see my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Update:
I used a windows 7 PC with pdanet mtk drivers and was successfull in flashing my phone!!!
Android or MIUI
Hi,
I followed your instructions and was able to flash the P2000. Thanks for the instructions and the link to the ROM
When starting I noticed that the icons look quite different from the default Android icons, they look much more like the MIUI icons. Is the ROM from your first post really a factory ROM provided by Elephone ??
The new ROM btw still has many of the original problems (WiFi and memory plus power management) but at least the widgets can be added and SuperUser works, so I am quite happy with it.
Thanks

About ROM​Warning: This ROM is ONLY for the Sprint SM-N910P!!! DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM ON ANY OTHER MODEL!!! If you do then please don't ask for help in this thread. You are on your own! Know what you are doing before flashing and modifying your phone!!! Yes this is an amazing rom BUT it is for the Sprint network model SM-N910P ONLY!!! Please resist the urge to flash this rom on any other model. This is your fair warning.
Initial Release: v1.0
This is a "stock" build with no custom mods other than unlocked native hotspot
Fully deodexed framework and system apps
I built the entire rom and made underhood adjustments as needed. There is way too much work to list here!!!
Root by @Chainfire
Busybox
Init.d support
100% Sprint Note 7 framework and system apps.
100% Sprint Note 4 system files for hardware & feature dependecies.
This rom is guaranteed to bring new life into your Note 4 and make you love it again!
Software version: N930PVPU1APGC
Kernel: Official Samsung N910PVPS4DPJ1 modified to support Samsung UX software
Features​This is a mostly stock rom running the stock Samsung kernel. Although there are no major problems in the rom, I do plan to continue making fine adjustments in order to make this rom as perfect as I can. However, it is a port and many things have been done precisely for the smoothest and most trouble-free operation. Expect minimal issues. Currently this rom is amazing. In the future it will be even more amazing. The ROM includes all working features of the Sprint Note 7 software version N930PVPU1APGC excluding items listed below.
(other than iris and fingerprint scanner and fm radio)
All stock Samsung and Google apps as well as the main Sprint apps like Visual Voicemail and Sprint Zone
Native Hotspot unlocked
Disabled High Volume Warning
5-way Reboot mod for convenience
Removed Itson
Removed/Disabled Knox and related apk's & libs/modules
Removed Sprint bloat installer and Sprint ID
Removed WhatsAppDownloader
Removed Facebook and facebook feature apps (can be downloaded from Google Play)
Removed Samsung Pay and Payment Framework (they are useless on rooted roms since they don't work if you have a rooted system or have tripped knox flag)
There are a few csc tweaks as well as build.prop tweaks. The usual. Nothing far from stock.
Added the following apps:
Peel Smart Remote ( Why not? The Note 4 has a IR blaster unlike the note 7 )
GifMaker app (is an add-on feature for the stock Samsung photo gallery and can be found in the stock gallery's menu)
Samsung fonts package (can be accessed from fonts settings. There's a lot so it takes a few seconds to load them all. When you open fonts settings be patient, they will load)
S7 Edge Nougat TW Launcher
Chinese Smart Manager because it's prettier!
Added Features:
None at this time
Known issues:
This is the list of known minor issues upon initial release.
Always On Display aka "AOD", Edge Lighting and Night Clock are obviously not gonna work properly.
(I have it turned off by default. You can enable it and play with it as well as try different "AOD "fixes" that may be available)
Fingerprint Scanner not working (Workaround added)
No Iris Scanner (I removed instances of Irus scanner in setting because obviously the N4 has no Iris scanner module)
FM radio is broken (I plan to fix this in the future as time permits. (I simply did not make this a priority )
WiFi calling is impossible to fix. (The IMS versions of N4 and N7 are very different. No way to fix this with the N7 dialer)
Update PRL and Profile is not working yet. I plan to fix this when I have more time. Fixed by @jc.m !!!
Launcher swiping left and right has a glitch where it sticks if you press to swipe between home screens
(use short "flicks" instead and there's no issue swiping left & right) Fixed! Flashable zip fix is in post #2
Lockscreen pin/password entry causes reboot.. Fixed by @carlosggb !!!
There are probably a few more minor things that i'm forgetting so I will work on a more precise bug list as I get to them.
***Please report any issues or bugs if you find something. Also PM me so your report doesn't get overlooked in the thread***

Flashing instructions:​Before you flash this rom you absolutely MUST be running the latest N910PVPS4DPJ1 firmware for the Sprint Note 4. Specifically the bootloader and modem. Your phone needs to be fully activated prior to flashing any custom rom to ensure a trouble-free transition to this rom. Before you flash this rom, while on a stock Sprint N4 rom, go to Settings/System updates and update PRL then update Profile. Reboot your phone and then go to Settings/Activate this device and launch it to properly activate your phone on the Sprint network. Once this completes, make sure data, calls messaging/mms and gps works as it should. Once everything is activated and working, then proceed with the flashing instructions below. If you ignore this requirement please expect issues and don't ask for help until you do these initial steps.
If you are running software older than PJ1 then you can either take the ota updates in order on your phone via OTA updates, or use odin to flash the software in order of release until you are fully updated. OTA updates on your phone are installed differently than odin packages therefore you may only have to take one or two updates to become current. The OTA updates run scripts to patch your current rom unlike odin tar packages that completely write the entire partition replacing everything clean. I will not go into great detail about that here. I have covered this many times in my other threads so if you aren't sure then do some searching here in the Note 4 forums. If you already updated your software past the PJ1 version then you can try to flash the rom BUT you could possibly have hardware issues with wifi, etc. So if you want to play it safe, revert to the official PJ1 firmware which can be done by odin flashing the stock N910PVPS4DPJ1 software on your PC or a custom firmware only package that can be packaged for this purpose. Just ask if you need help finding it there's a couple of people here that can help with that. My advice is to run this rom with the PJ1 firmware for the best results since the kernel, modules and hardware specific software is based on version PJ1.
***Before you flash this rom, please make sure your battery has at least 30% charge***​
OK... Lets begin!
1. Download the rom
2. Check the MD5!!! Use a MD5 checksum tool on your pc or phone (Google is your friend)
3. Copy the downloaded rom to your phone's internal storage or micro-sd card
Note: It has become apparent to me that if you are coming from another custom rom, especially another port rom, that you MUST also wipe your internal storage. Left over data from other roms DO cause major problems! So if you want the best trouble-free experience with this rom, I highly recommend that you backup anything you need from you internal storage and wipe it in recovery. You should do this before placing this rom on your internal storage or else put the rom zip on your micro-sd card.
4. Backup anything you need to backup from your internal storage and copy it to your pc or sd-card (DO NOT RESTORE BACKED UP APPS! INSTALL THEM FRESH FOR THE BEST TROUBLE-FREE EXPERIENCE!)
5. Reboot to TWRP custom recovery. Press "Wipe". Do the "Factory Reset" several times then go into "Advanced Wipe" options and wipe Dalvic-Cache, System, Data, and Cache several times.
6. Go to recovery home screen and select "Install" and select the rom zip that you have already copied to your phone in step 3 above. Install the rom and the script will prompt you to reboot system when it is finished flashing.
7. The initial boot process will take around 12 minutes. Please be patient. It WILL boot.
8. Once the phone has booted and you will see "Installing Applications". The phone will reboot once during this process then continue installing upon reboot.
9. Once you reach the setup wizard ...
10.Reboot to Recovery and Flash Modset, pick your options in the Aroma!!
11.Once you are back to the Wizard Proceed as usual and setup your phone. At the very last step when allowing the weather location access the phone will reboot one more time. Upon reboot you will be at the home screen.
12.If you picked Magisk as your root method, go to the Download folder and install MagiskManager apk or you wont have root access!
13.That's it! You're done! You are now going to smile as you experience the best ROM for the Sprint Galaxy N4 to date.
Note: Immediately upon reaching the home screen you may notice some lagginess. This is due to Google and Samsung accounts syncing all of their respective account features at once. I highly recommend that you first go to cloud/sync settings and set these account options right away to conserve battery and data usage Uncheck the things you don't want or need.
Enjoy the official Note 7 port ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4! Please feel free to post rom feedback and support questions.

Holy cow it's TX... Sup man? I have moved on to an unlocked Note 9 (Snapdragon) that I'm using on a tracfone related service. For which I got a t-mobile tracfone sim for easier compatibility with wifi calling. Which now works by the way. Saving $$ on a phone bill has actually freed up $ for other cool things/projects like doing some TV repair. Haven't felt any need to root actually. I use it for work big time now & don't want to complicate things. Moved away from Sprint which was the only issue with this ROM but you had a solution for that too.
Sprint gone now (on its way out)

Fixes and Additional Files
SMS/MMS​During testing a few people had issues with sms/mms not sending after a reboot. The guys figured out a fix for this problem so I created a flashable fix which will be copied to your sd card upon flashing the rom. If you definitely have a problem sending sms/mms and it becomes a constant thing then you need to flash this fix. It's a simple edit in one xml file in csc. Simply flash AlternateSmsMmsSendingFix_UN7_Hybrid_by.txdbstx.zip
and reboot. That should fix the sms/mms sending problem.
==========================================================================
Root & SuperSU after a factory reset​The original SuperSU root package will also be copied to your sd card during the rom flash. You will need this if you do a factory reset because you will lose root. Simply flash SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip in recovery AFTER you have done a factory reset AND rebooted your phone at least once.
==========================================================================
Samsung Gallery​If your photo thumbnails disappear in Samsung Gallery then wipe the data and cache for Gallery in "Applications" section of Settings. This should fix the problem. :good:
==========================================================================
The Notorious TouchWiz Launcher Swipe Glitch​Flash this UN7-TW-Launcher-Fix-by-tx_dbs_tx.zip and the bug will be gone. You can use any compatible TW launcher without worrying about the launcher swipe glitch. Remember, this fix took me a while to figure out. It should work on other N7 port roms that have the same issue. But please do NOT reupload or post other links to my fixes in other rom threads. Instead, direct people here to this post and make sure people understand that there is a real fix for this problem and I am the one who took the time to fix it 100%. Thank you and enjoy!
Kernels
​I highly recommend that you NOT flash kernels from other N4 variants. They likely have different configs for those models. It's not worth it. If you didn't listen to this advice and flashed a different kernel and need to flash the original kernel, check out the recovery flashable kernels here.
==================================================​Original Ultimate Note7 PJ1 Kernel​This is the original PJ1 kernel that is specifically modified for this UN7 Hybrid ROM. (Includes original root package)​UN7_Hybrid_SM-N930P-PJ1-KernelOnlyPlusRoot.zip​==================================================​BeastMode r61 PJ1 Kernel exclusively for Ultimate Note7 Hybrid ROM​This is a custom tweaked Samsung PJ1 kernel that is specifically modified for this rom by none other than @freeza.​BeastMode-Kernel-r61-MM-N910P-PJ1-RAGE-UN7-Hybrid-ROM​
==================================================​BeastMode r61 PJ1 Kernel "ZEROLEMON" exclusively for Ultimate Note7 Hybrid ROM​This is the exact same kernel as above except it supports ZEROLEMON and other extended capacity batteries.​BeastMode-Kernel-r61-MM-N910P-PJ1-RAGE-ZL-UN7-Hybrid-ROM​

if you know how... you would need to have two tar file.. one for baseband and one firmware.

give me a second.. i'll upload the PJ1 bl/fw for you...
---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------
here is the BL/FW i created:
uncheck auto reboot under Option on Odin app...
load the firmware or baseband doesn't matter which one is first... pull battery after you odin one of them, then reboot in download mode volume down + home + power keys at the same time. odin the other file, pull out battery then reboot into recovery then flash your rom... of course your rom has to be in External SDcard and make sure you follow Ops installation instructions.
