Help With Root and Going Back To Stock Firmware Problems N910p - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys im kinda new here and english isnt my native language so mind the punctuation and bad english
so here goes
I have a Note 4 910p which was working fine until i decided to root it with the cf-root method for note 4 available on XDA . everything went fine but i needed root to install few ported stuff from other brands. I wanted to install a ported SONY XPERIA CAMERA , for that i needed a recovery i installed a CWM recovery , i installed the camera and after flashing it and finishing of the work , in the end it asked me if i wanted to root. i didnt know what to do i click okay. so it rooted after that my cell booted and the touch calibration was off . i fixed that by *#2663# code .
the main problem im facing is that after the whole process i cannot install any apks, like i can click the install button but as soon as it starts installing i get an error "App not installed . Package may be corrupted" i thought it was with just one apk file. i tried multiple apks on my cell and other cells. its working on other cells but not on mine. secondly i cannot seem to activate the Private Mode no matter how much i try. i have tried factory resetting it from the OS. ive tried factory reseting it from the CWM recovery. everytime i factory reset the calibration goes whack.
I downloaded 2 different STOCK FIRMWARD Tar files but every time i try installing them , its starts installing and ends with
AUTH Fail in Odin
Please help me.
PS : The Camera Apps From XPERIA package stay no matter how many times i factory reset please help

if it helps i cant post images but i can give u the spec and other details of my cell if it can help u people in understanding my problem

Are you pulling battery out and waiting 20 sec before you boot to download mode?

You can find a zip for twrp so you don't have to use odin

If you just want 100%stock you will need odin so keep trying deferent version of odin, reboot pc and start fresh also boot into download after you pull the battery
Because if you want to use Kies you will need stock recovery even for ota's you need stock recovery so best bet is to get odin to work properly

thank u guys for ur quick response. i couldnt find the proper solution for the APK and Private Mode problem but i did manage to find the solution for going back to stock
What i was doing wrong was that i had the OTA update upto 6.01 and i was trying to flash a 5.0 firmware tar . i was researching where i came across that after the 5.01 update u cant downgrade to older one thats y i was facing the
AUTH Fail
Error while using ODIN thank u all for ur help and suggestions

[Q] Corrupted EFS- with no restore

Hi
Last night i tired to root my phone using a firmware but kinda ran in some what a major issue. As i was updating the ROM using ODIN it decided to fail and kinda soft brick my device. After trying to find ways to get round i mange to find a stock ROM which got it back to the main screen. The issue that i've got now is that the IMEI number is 0049 and getting no service or mobile data.
Looked on a couple forums about trying to fix the IMEI. I came across one including the NV_Data and another one using EFS restore. The issue is that i haven't got a working NV_Data file or a full back up of a EFS partition. (yeah i know that i've should've backed up the EFS had it all today off my mate hehe)
Was wondering if anyone could help me or point me in the right direction.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100- SIM: T-mobile
Thank you

How to recover lost IMEI that happens with downgrading ROM
If you have lost IMEI just by downgrading (as said by above by flashing older ROM), still you can recover IMEI without having EFS backup.
-Again upgrade ROM will restore IMEI OR
-Flash latest Modem. You can find it here.. You can download MG1 modem and flash using PC Odin with 'Phone' tab instead of PDA.
Remember above said works only if IMEI is corrupted by downgrading ROM only, if it was corrupted by other things, this won't be helpful.

try flashing DDDMG1 or DXDMF1 modem from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937
Thank you for the reply.
Just to double check is it this what i need to download from the link you gave me
Modem
N7100XXALJ1 (modem version N7100XXALIH) [Thnx AdamLange]
If so for some reason the file cant be found
no i meant the latest 3 modems for 4.1.2
XXDME4
DXDMF1
DDDMG1
because flashing old modem over one of the 3 newer modems makes the same problem as yours ..
so installing the newer modem might fix things for you without having to install the whole rom
-------------------
u nead a custom recovery(philz or Twrp) to install these modems ...
Really grateful for the help
When you say i need to install the modem using a recovery (philz or twrp) would you happen to know were i can find a step by step guide on how to use the recovery??
Cheers
u already used odin so u must have samsung drivers and odin ... just dowanload twrp for ur n7100 from there site http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/115
then download the Odin Method
select the file from the pda button in odin and flash ....it should even root ur phone if it wasn't .. there is a lot of ways to reset ur phone to stock so it's not a dangerous operation
this vid is for s3 but it's the same method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f9QdsnSTso just use the file from the link above
OOOOOSHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for all help manage to get it working now. Everything you said has helped.
Cheers mate really appreciate everything you done :victory:
don't want to confuse you but if u don't want to root ur phone / install custom recovery
u can download stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230250
it should be same result ...

u r welcome .....just make a nandroid backup (using the custom reecovery ) and the make sure to include the EFS and place it somewhere secure extsd and the pc to save u from alot of trouble in the future

[Q] A few rooting questions.

I am new to all this so just wanted to ask a few things.
I just installed TWRP and rooted with this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525630
Everything went well.
If i flash the stock firmware back on the device does that also remove the root and the TWRP recovery and replace it with the stock recovery?
Also, if i had to return it for service is there a way of making sure samsung don't detect it has been rooted?

When you flash Stockrom with Odin ,you lost root and it flashed stockrecovery, so all is original.

Power down your device and put it into download mode. To do this, press and hold the Home + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds until you see the warning screen. Check tha binary cound number. If it is 0 you are Ok. If its not 0 you lose your guarantee.

I'm not 100% sure,but on this device there have no flash counter.
The complete way to theck that all original is to go to settings and press software update , its all fine ( original ) than come info, there update avaible or your Tab is modified.
quick question
so does binary refer to recovery ? [custom/official]
if so can a custom recovery be hacked to mask itself as official
like adding a false checksum or the right magic in a hex editor ?
The first versions of the T210 do have a flash counter. Mine shows over 300 flashes (lots of recovery testing) when I'm in Download mode. They apparently changed the bootloader on the newer devices and it no longer shows flash count in Download mode, but they may have just hidden it.

I got a refund in the end, went and got a galaxy tab pro 8.4.

[Q] SGH-I317 - Cannot Get To Recovery Mode

I cannot get my Note 2 into recovery mode. I am able to get to download mode and have tried installing a few different ROMS through Odin. The install results in a "Pass" but the phone does not make it past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried a few of the suggestions on different postings in the forums but haven't had success. I am somewhat new to the rooting community and am in need of assistance with this, I am getting nowhere on my own. Thanks in advance for any assistance you all can offer.
You didn't mention if you ever flashed a custom recovery.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am sure I made a rookie mistake but heres the process that got me to where I am now:
I was rooted on 4.3 (used CF Autoroot). I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using EZKat's zip file, installing it from an external sd card throuh recovery mode. I did get that to take, but was having issues with the Samsung keyboard crashing (I now know there is a second file that fixes this, but got that info too late). So thinking I had made a mistake at that point I attempted to revert to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which also took. However, I then got a notification for an OTA update, and I went for it (probably a bad choice?).
The OTA update completed but on the reboot it started hanging at the Samsung logo. And that is where I am stuck now. I can get to download mode and Odin still lets me flash roms and gives me a "Pass" but the phone never gets past the boot screen freeze and I cannot enter recovery mode to factory reset or clear cache.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate any assistance you have to offer.

The first file is a 4.3 rom you can flash but the 2nd file is the bootloader and when I did the ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 you have to flash that mk6 bootloader to make it boot

Just use cf auto root and make sure you get the right recovery and put it in the pda or ap slot in odin or you can flash a stock custom rom that's rooted already like the one I'm on

Note 2 I sent out of state is also stuck. I had downgraded to 4.1.1 to root it and left it there. It did work for a little bit, but not now. Will just flashing the bootloader file do the trick or do we have to flash the ROM too?
If it won't boot on 4.1.1 you might have to go up to 4.3 or 4.4.2 to make the phone work again I tried to go back to 4.1.1 and I couldn't get it to boot but I didn't try flashing the bootloader but it won't hurt anything if it don't work

Now Samsung have rolled out a new Update withe fixex etc.
I Juse Samsung Stock Rom and want to update.
Is there an solution to updat without loosing Date, Root and TWRP.
I have found a threat with flashfir app but that wont work for me because the flashfire app says i am samsung write protection.
I hope ther is a good manual to do this with odin.
Please help if you have a solution.
Thanks forward marle.
An other Idea is Edit the Stock Rom and flash withe odin.
I have these 4 files: AP_A320FLXXU3CRH2_CL13997403_QB19389534_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5
BL_A320FLXXU3CRH2_CL13997403_QB19389534_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_A320FLXXU3CRH2_CL796579_QB10474521_SIGNED.tar.md5
CSC_DBT_A320FLDBT3CRH2_CL14203702_QB19389001_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_DBT_A320FLDBT3CRH2_CL14203702_QB19389001_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I hope some one could tell me wich files i need and witch not.

i have to delete the recovery.img.lz4 file.
I hope someone could tel what a need and what not,
Please help.
Thanks Forwards Marle.M
If you're messing with individual files in lz4 format for sure you'll want patched odin. It'll let you flash recovery and boot .img files from the stock rom once converted back to tar from 7zip.
I THINK it is possible to do if you do a clean unroot and then flash the recovery and boot... then redo all 4 with home_csc... but I do know you'll need/want patched odin.
But really it isn't so bad if you back up all your apk's on ext sd and your calls and messages with samsung cloud.
You're only looking at an hour or 2 after prep.
I am multi csc and wanted my carrier after the recent update and kept getting unbranded. Finally I flashed stock with regular csc and as soon as odin finished I went right back into download as if installing twrp but like I said, download again. Flashed stock with home_csc. Bingo... branded again. Then I noticed my dev manager said I had a 16 gig drive instead of 32. Fun. So I booted recovery, factory reset and it was brand new.
So... ha... if you don't get to do what you are asking and at least want a fresh start... there you go.
Tell you what I'll do... I am set up root again so I will unroot, flash stock recovery, boot up... power down and flash stock with the home_csc, then flash twrp and root again just to see what happens. Gimme about 30 minutes. I'm gonna break my phone hahahahaha
---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------
umm... yeah scratch that. I don't know how to re-install twrp without doing a wipe. back up your stuff and start over. If someone knows otherwise I'd like to hear it.
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------
oh I took out my sd card and sim when I did the re-branding double rom (csc then with home_csc) trick.
