[Q] Randows reboots on DomPop v.5.0.3 TW Lollipop 5.0 - [UPDATED] 3/16/2015

I've installed this rom and I have many problems with it
when I flashed any update my note starts to reboot by itself.
How can I fix That?

Did you flash the entire file? There are usually two. The full rom and then updates to the rom. I would check in his thread to see what happened.
Also clearing the cache can help with the boot process

I did everything, but the problem begins when I install the updates.
If I only install v5, my note doesn't reboot by itself.

Gotta ask what was your process for flashing 5.0 did you wipe x3 and format data x3 that is what I normally do Im playing with mods right now but have been running 5.0.3 for a couple of days with no reboots actually never got any reboots while on DomPop
What Baseband and Modem are you running download the systeminfo app from playstore and it should tell you if you are unsure.

OK, I've solved the problem.
I updated the Baseband and bootloader, now everything works fine.
Thanks a lot.

I used Odin v3.10.6 to flash T-Mobile 5.0 stock rom, but I modified Odin to can update the baseband and bootloader.

As I have understood, you can only update the baseband and bootloader through ota. I Flashed the rom twice, the first time only the system was updated but no the baseband, the second did the modification of odin and everything went perfect.

I was on N900TUVUDNK3 baseband, installed the stock rom, after that Flashed twrp recovery via Odin, and finally Flashed DomPop v5.0 and updates.

Download Odin v3.10.6 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451, unzip and search for the odin3.ini file, open it and modify this two lines:
PhoneEFSClear=0
PhoneBootUpdate=0k
Change the first from 0 to 1 if you want to do a factory reset when you install the rom
Change the second one from OK to 1 to Odin update the baseband and bootloader automatically. After that open Odin, connect your note on download mode and install the rom.

You don't need to root stock rom. Download openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.zip from Google and install via Odin, after that you only have to reboot into the twrp recovery and install the DomPop rom.
This rom comes rooted.

[ROM|Stockish|ROOTED|NO KNOX] 11/15/15 Sprint TouchWiz Lollipop 5.1.1 (N910PVPU4COJ6)

Here's a Stockish ROM for your N910P. This ROM has Knox, Sprint ItsOn, and secure storage removed. Nothing else was done to this ROM. I'm new to the Note 4 so I may upload patches to remove any other traces of Knox or ItsOn or optimizations I happen to find while making my own ROM.
Odex:

Patches and fixes:
None yet.
[size=+3]DeOdex note:[/size]
The first boot time for this DeOdex ROM is very long. Approximately 5-8 minutes. Your phone will get hot as the splash screen remains on the yellow Sprint boot animation. I recommend keeping your phone in a cool environment while this is happening. The heat, if not properly checked, can make boot times even longer as the system throttles speed in order to deal with the heat. This doesn't happen on the Odex version.
[size=+3]Install instructions:[/size]
-Are you currently on the OB7 bootloader and would like to stay on it?
--Simply flash the baseband with Odin, and the ROM.
-Are you on the update from OTA or flashed the OJ6 TAR?
--Flash kernel only.
-Are you one of the unlucky ones to take the OTA and hose your system trying to root and are now on another ROM?
--Flash ROM only.
-Are you on any build after OB7 but not the current OJ6?
--Flash the baseband and ROM. Bootloader is optional and not available in this thread as of yet.
Wiping is only necessary if you are coming from a different base, such as AOSP/CM. If you are coming from a touchwiz ROM, wiping isn't needed, but won't hurt.
Changelog:
11/15/15: Update to OJ6
8/7/15: Initial Release.

Damn that was fast!

Exciting times ahead[emoji3] [emoji106]

excited to try this out... can someone please help clarify the process for me? I'm running Saintz ROM with OB7 baseband.... do I just wipe and flash the ZIP in the OP via TWRP? Does the modem need to be installed separately? Thanks in advance

Thanks boss made my weekend nicer

@freeza someone said on the other thread, The Google apps don't like to be deodexed. You can actually pull their folders with apk and applicable /lib/arm.so's right off the /data/app (updates) directory and rename the folder and apk appropriately (Phonesky, GmsCore, Chrome, Maps, and Velvet and change the apps from base.apk to their appropriate titles.apk) use those folders in a system flash. Same applies to other third party applications and any other Google app not removed as bloat from tar system partition.
Rule of thumb would be to only deodex what actually needs to deodexed.
Looking forward to your work once development and root catch up to Android 5.1.1 or M. I'm staying with OB7 deodexed until we root for latest. Finally getting back to Xposed for Lollipop.

@freeza...I love u man

HOW TO ROOT USING MAGISK:
Flash stock with Odin. The latest build is posted above. Reboot and complete setting up the phone.
Download Magisk Zip and Magisk Manager APK (these are two different things, you need both) and place them on your phone. Download from https://magiskmanager.com/
Do the usual to enable Developer Options (tap on build number until you see it enabled) and set OEM Unlock ot on (this is a setting under developer options.) Make sure you do these steps.
Go into Download mode. Turn phone off. Hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons. We'll do something similar in a minute.
Flash TWRP via Odin, but DO NOT REBOOT. TWRP is here, use the TAR file. https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/
Manually Power phone down by holding the Power button a really long time.
Manually boot into Recovery. Hold Volume Up, Home and Power. You should now be in TWRP.
Use TWRP to flash the Magisk zip file. When you reboot, you should be rooted.
Reboot and install the Magisk APK. Allow "Unknown sources."
You can still root your phone using SuperSU, but I am not supporting that.

thank you for your link.

Could you post any feedback that you might have on PD2 itself? Worth bothering with, or just a minor security thing?

Im about to go get my new replacement S6 and have a feeling its going to be on the latest firmware so good to hear it works on Pd2. Well TWRP works on PD2what about flashing supersu 2.71 in twrp does that brick it? Or did u use cfautoroot?

Twrp and supersu 2.71 work for me.
Nothing noticeable between pd2 and pb6 actually so if you are still good on pb6, let it stay there.
BTW i get good battery life on pd2 as you can see my attached SS. Will pass 5 hrs sot easily, even more.

[PE3] Stock T-Mobile & [PE2] Stock Rogers Marshmallow (Bootloader, Modem, ROM)

Code:
I'm not responsible for what you do to your device,
this is official software downloaded from Sammobile
and uploaded to different mirrors to spread availability.
This is the stock MODEM, BOOTLOADER, and ROM from Sammobile uploaded for all of you guys.
WARNING: There is a possibility that some of the ROMs may not work since they've been designed for the Lollipop (DOK2) bootloader. I have not tested yet if CF-Autoroot works.
Edit #2: There seems to be no ROOT as of now!
Edit #3: AFTER FLASHING TWRP VIA ODIN, I CAN'T BOOT.
Edit #4: I am able to boot after flashing via odin. I was just being a derp and kept doing it wrong. If you can't get passed the splash screen all you need to do is factory reset and that seems to have fixed it for me. TL;DR I now have Systmless root, TWRP, and on MM for T-Mobile (EPE3)
Steps to get this working:
Boot into download mode.
Have odin opened and ready.
Make sure your device is plugged in to your computer.
Now click AP, add the file you extracted from the .rar you downloaded. (For example: N910TUVU2EPE3_N910TTMB2EPE3_N910TUVU2EPE3_HOME.tar.md5)
Now press start!
After it's done, you're going to want to do the same thing but with TWRP. Remember to click AP and not CP.
Now via TWRP, flash the latest Systemless Root by Chainfire
You should now be able to boot into the ROM.
Downloads:

Alright it finished uploading! As of now you can't root it, I've already tried using @TEKHD 's CF-Autoroot method, and I've also tried flashing the latest Systemless root from Chainfire, I tried changing the kernel as well. If you try rooting you can't get past the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Powered By Android" Splash screen. :/
EDIT: Factory resetting using Samsungs recovery seems to have fixed it for me. I believe it might fix it for anyone else stuck on the splash screen as well.

Wow. So what happens now? Wait for Chainfire to hopefully root this or can the devs do it with their roms?

I actually do think it's locked.. Let me update the OP
So, I was able to boot before. However, once you flash TWRP via odin, you can no longer boot up anymore. Let me know if anyone has the same experience.

That's really strange, I wonder how they got it. I can't get passed the boot screen if I flash systemless root. I'll keep trying though!
Possibly what I'm experiencing may be due to me being a derp and flashing via CP instead of AP. I'm going to try flashing everything through AP instead.

Do I need to use ODIN for this? I tried installing UVUBOH1 with TWRP, but I get an error when I installing it:
"could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file"

Yes, download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347821137
NOTE, if you click on "UVUBOH1" and not the androidfilehost link in the FW thread, it links you to the wrong FW and you'll flash UVUBNC1! Make sure you click the androidfilehost link underneath UVUB0H1.
Then flash it with odin.
Afterwards let it reboot and upgrade, then odin TWRP back and either restore a nandroid or flash the rom of your choosing
Oh also, if you're still on 4.1 and on a touchwiz rom, you may want to factory unlock it before you upgrade.. Just because you can. Follow the unlock thread on here

Thank you so much! I will try this out soon and respond with the results! And I had already unlocked my device :. I had to root and use the RegionLock app to unlock it, as the *#197328640# menu option did not work for me.

Was quite a bit of trouble at first . I managed to download and flash the software. flashed TWRP via odin.
Then through TWRP, I rooted by using the Knox remover zip (as i was on official 4.3, my service signal did shoot up to normal again!). Installed SuperSU.
Now when I try to flash any ROM via TWRP it gives errors such as "Status 7", or error reading MD5 when I try to backup software.

Make sure twrp is up to date for d2tmo, and make sure the rom you are flashing is 4.3 or later. I'm pretty sure that once you're on the latest 4.3 rom you can't flash anything lower

That's strange, I'm using 3.0.2.0 and the latest 999L baseband and I haven't had any issues with flashing.
I'm Using the MM pac rom but I've tried CM14.1 nightly builds with no problem

I have finally managed to figure it out. You need to completely format the entire ROM currently installed from your phone. Once that is done, you can add any ROM to install properly. I'm running well on OctOS-N 3/17/2017 build.
Thanks all for your help.
