Int'l ROMs? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General

I found a *****en ROM named Nameless in the f/g variants of the Note 4. Was all psyched to flash it and play with it only to realize there's data issues. Is there any body who knows how to fix the data issue or maybe properly port this to our device?

I tried that and was unable to get it to get data. It really stumped me
Edit: Oh damn. I realized I flashed the wrong kernel and tried again. after flashing the data fix I got data for a second before the phone rebooted. I wiped everything but data when I flashed from my stock rom

I have managed to get the rom up and running.....for the most part. Only downside so far is I can't get Netflix to work. It just loads forever

T_T I'm not sure of what to search for. For branded roms it's relatively easy, but as an INT'L ROM I'm not sure if my process would work. So it's just some obscure file? I was thinking it may be because I flashed something wrong. No chance you can remember where you think you may have seen it? Like xda or another site?

OMG You're a lifesaver. It worked! Thanks!
Now to create some more threads or posts in the Nameless ROM section; Upon reflashing my backup to perform this fix, I now have random system information on my lockscreen and notification bar. Oh well.
Thanks again!

I have been trying my hardest, asking on every forum i can find, to find out how to get the beta release of emotion kernel R24 for N910T. Not one single response.....but anyway. It is my understanding that the latest release of Emotion Revolution rom has r24 kernel as an option in aroma. My question is this; would it be possible to unzip the R23 kernel zip for N910T and replace only the R24 boot image from the emotion rom and leave all the other system files. Or would that be a really bad idea? Ha. I just want the kernel on Tekhds URv7. I know this is possible a really stupid question but I'm just now beginning to learn all the technical details of these things. And I will say ahead of time that any answer will be beneficial because I don't know much about how a N910T kernel differs from international as far as data is concerned or what the fix actually fixes when you flash it. But if it has any relwvance my phone is carrier unlocked and i dont even use tmobile. My goal is to learn something new everyday without hard bricking my baby like I did my N900A. I'm not by any means new to rooting but am very new to having a device that I can actually play with. Thanks in advance and us noobies appreciate everybodys patience.

[Q] Stock Unrooted Flashable ROM

Does anyone know of a stock flashable ROM without Root and Busybox?
I'm aware of the thread guiding people on going back to factory but I don't want to do that. I want to be able to just flash a Rooted ROM if I want one and flash back to standard unrooted if I want using TWRP.
My reason behind this that I spend a lot of time on the train at the minute so decided to get Sky Go. Unfortunately it detects that the device is rooted and won't run.
There are a few threads around the net with scripts and suggestions but nothing seems to work for me.
I don't think there are any..... Hmmm.

You can flash the stock ROM with fastboot but not from within recovery. Get it here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I could make one I suppose, wouldn't take long at all...

If you could do that it would be great.
I was just looking at the tutorial to bake it myself but having issues with Cygwin. Much quicker and easier if you did it.
Owe you one.
I use Linux so it won't take long. You literally want a flashable stock ROM, no changes whatsoever?

Exactly. I use a standard stock rooted ROM usually.
Just realised I don't actually use root for anything at the minute but likely will do in the future.
Thanks again.
I'll try and do it this afternoon but if not this evening once back at home
Uploading at the mo, it's literally the stock ROM dumped into the kitchen and cooked out with no change whatsoever

Very cool that you've done this, but I should give a word of caution: there are some problems that wiping via fastboot will fix, but installing a flashable stock .zip won't fix. For example, when a 16GB phone thinks it's only 8GB. (I have reason to believe that there are other problems that can only be fixed in this way, but I can't prove it. :silly
That's not something the OP cared about, he just needed to 'unroot' to use a TV app that checks for root access

I tried that.
I tried a script that was published on the net to remove root and busybox.
I tried removing root and busybox manually.
I tried flashing stock kernal
I tried several other apps.
A flashable stock rom was my last resort as I was under the impression that I'd need to wipe and I didn't want to do that. I just tried it without wiping on the off chance that it worked and it did, so problem solved.
None of my Apps were using Root so I thought I'd get rid of it completely but wanted the option to flash CM10.1 once Bluetooth MAP profile is fixed and working without having to go through putting TWRP on again.
It's all in the OP and posts following that.
EddyOS saw what I was after and offered to help. He's a great dude.
Just for learning purposes, how come no one has made a flashable stock zip until now? Wouldn't it just be like any custom rom but instead its just stock?

[Q] KitKat Rom on T Mobile Lg G2

I've tried this two times and both I had the same result. I downgraded back to 4.2.2 with the D80110g_00.kdz for the tmobile g2. Then I rerooted it and added philz touch recovery. I flashed with the kitkat baseband in the cloudystock 1.1 fourm, then the rom with the patched 801 kernel after. Everything boot's up ok, and the phone works. But when I turn off the screen and back on its all grayed out with yellow lines. I have the reboot the phone for the screen to show up again. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Do the same process except do not use 80110g. Find the 80110c kdz.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
Thank you, that fixed the problem. Another question I have is that when I flash the baseband, do I have to keep reflashing it when I move to another kitkat rom?

baseband stays the same when flashing other roms. Pretty sure the rom zips don't touch baseband unless specified otherwise. Glad it worked for ya btw

Problem came back, turn off screen and its grayed out when back on unless reboot. I dont have this problem when I root 4.2.2. Am I flashing the files in the wrong order, or am I missing something.

Doesn't seem like you are flashing in wrong order. If you boot up and everything runs...it's probably just due to the fact this isn't an official release and there may be bugs

same issue here. Cannot run any stock KK roms at all. I've flashed so many times and have had to return to stock. I wish this problem could be identified.
Did anyone out there figure this out?
I'm having the same problem on my device, tried several stock ROMs but nothing works even when using different basebands.
I have this problem as well and no, you're not doing anything wrong. Devs have absolutely no idea why this is happening. It seems that this is only happening with users that bought the phone and have the G build pre-installed. People that bought the phone earlier with the C build don't have this problem.
I gave up and just flashed the official KK TMO ROM with root installed. I lost my recovery but hopefully devs can get recovery on stock KK. If anything, I can always KDZ back to 4.2.2 and re-install the recovery if I want to go back to AOSP ROM's.
FWIW, I bought the G2 a week ago. When did you get yours?
I think you hit the nail on the head with G build comment. I got my phone about a month ago from TMO and it came pre-installed. I wonder if something in the actual hardware is ever so slightly different with the latest G2s...
I flashed with the C build and it didn't fix it also, guess I'll stay on 4.2.2 till there is a official kitkat root.
Anyone around in this thread with the line problem willing to test a kernel?

How do you find if you have G or C build? I thought all tmobile g2's are c build. I am getting mine tomorrow, hope it is shipped with JB rom - if so, i think it will be better to stay. After reading a bit, i heard many say tot method is working fine as explained here.
Which rom (xd thread?) are you using? Does wifi calling work?

If you go to software you can see the build, it either ends with C or D. Most likely D since you'll just be getting it. And it will be JB not KK. There's a new AutoRec file that gives KK users recovery, but since you'll be getting the D version, you'll most likely have the white line glitch issue. There's a way around it, just PM me for further questions and I'll help ya out.

Hmmm.. so i have a completely stock g2 non rooted (working on rooting right now actually) but when i go into settings, my build number ends with an 'A' ?? not c, d or g.... what does this mean? Man, rooting seemed so much easier on my HTC or samsung phones! No complaints though, i love this phone

It does seem confusing, but I promise you that it's a bit more painless than you think. I'm assuming your phone did indeed ship with TMO KitKat? Then in that case, once you're done rooting, all you have to do is install the AutoRec apk and that's it! Let me know if you need a link for AutoRec.

Verizon data

Can someone try this zip for Verizon on that you can not get data on? I am not on Verizon but just trying to help out. This has to flahsed with a clean flash and at the same time as you flash the ROM. So flash ROM ....gapps.....data zip and then whatever else you want. Hope it works. Its just a stock apns_conf.XML from stock Verizon and made it into a zip. Real simple but hope it works.

Thank you for this. I've been running stock happily because of the reports of data issues on cm12 based roms. Aosp rom that I've tried worked fine. I don't want to chance messing things up having to flash the factory image to get data back honestly or I'd give it a shot right away. Downloaded it just in case people report good results.

Really, I am nowhere near a dev. Just a real possible simple fix converted into a flashable. I am on sprint and sprint data is a son of a gun. Sprint fix is the same file but with sprint apns. And I was just thinking that it would work for Verizon with the Verizon apns. Just trying to help.

Appreciate that. Especially since you're not even on Verizon. It's hard alot of times to find people that want to help especially when its not their problem on their device. So I applaud the effort.

Trying to restore/update PA but unfamiliar with the process

Hi Everyone,
Im using an att LG G2 with Paranoid Android installed; I bought the phone at release I am pretty sure and through att. I believe it to be PA version 3.4 and Android version 4.3.1 from looking af the about phone settings. Basically Ive had this phone on loan to someone for about a year and it is just bogged down with shovelware. Netflix wont even load. I was comfortable playing around with ROMs before but ive been in the Ios scene lately and am out of practice. I have some recoveries but I'm concerned with having not played around on the phone's root for several years now so I'd rather not use something that may be incomplete.
My main concern is having the phone back to its speed from before, getting rid of all of the apps, and starting fresh. Id like to keep PA, hopefully upgrade to the latest version, but if i can just factory reset that works too. I'm pretty sure i could reinstall PA starting from scratch with a clean phone. I've been through the forums different times and I really do find that the info is all consolidated well. I hope I don't come accross as lazy or unwilling to search, I just had a bad experience flashing my Galaxy S2 so whenever I'm not certain on the process I try to consult with people more involved.
Thank you all for your time,
Andrew Rapp
Forgive me but I've had this phone on the shelf for a bit and am seeing now that paranoid Android is relatively dead. That'd be unfortunate since I really dug the interface! But if it really is no longer being supported would anyone have a suggestion on a ROM upgrade? Thanks again!
Cm13 or 12.1 both available with a few variants based on them just give them a whirl.

I had CM back on my s2! I could get down with checking it out again. Going through their website is a lot of helpful information, however, most of it seems to be garnered at first time users. I'm using this guide here:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d800
and I'm curious if I can skip the first half (installing a custom recovery); because I'm pretty sure I have one installed already from when I flashed PA. How would I go about checking?
Just reboot into recovery to check the version.
But it would be best to update to TWRP 2.8.73 (latest version).
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
So once I've updated TWRP (which I do have installed) I can skip that first half and just do the second part? Thanks for the help btw; really trying to bring the phone back to life since I love the screen and size
If you have flashed Roms before you know the rule, read the first post then read it again then read it a third time
Make sure you have the correct bootstack, I suggest the official CM ROM to start with by Drastic then you can always try the others AICP,Bliss,ResurrectionRemix and Crdroid.
I like AICP for the customisations been on it for a couple of days to try out.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
I know, being cautious to a fault here >_< I just ended up using flashify to update twrp; that was easy enough. I'll use the app to make a back up I believe and then try following instructions on the website! Thanks for all your help, hopefully I won't need to return XD but still keeping the topic open just in case!
Nope! I get an error when trying to install the CM zip file. In red it says:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1KI-d800.zip'
I was able to get in what appears to be a broken CM installation, which fortunately includes file system exploration and messaging. Accessing the phone from the computer is no problem either. Any idea what the issue here may be?
Bump!
Not sure to be honest,if you have followed the steps in the OP post up in the thread by @drastic and I am sure the more knowledgeable will help you solve the problem.

Ahhh thanks! Yeah I'd been doing the 12.1 downloads from the CM site but yeah that process seems to be the same. Could it be possible that my something weird had been done with the person I loaned the phone too? He liked to tinker and I wouldn't put it passed him to have done something funny with it, or even I before having loaned it. Coud the bootstack be an incorrect? Is there a way I could check?

Super Bummed That the SM-G530T1 Has no Custom Rom Out...

Maybe im missing something but they have a custom ROM for Cricket and not for MetroPCS? Whats up with that? Is there one for Metro Or T-mobile? I have a unlocked Rooted SM-G530T1 With TWRP And No custom ROM Anyware I look. is there perhaps a cyanogenmod build that would work with the T-Mobile/MetroPCS Variant? That would be super cool.

I have one built for G530T T-Mobile but.. I have not finished adding somethings to it yet. It's TW based and deodexed so you can install Xposed. The thing that is holding me back is not being able to restore backups when testing builds, as well as TWRP not being able to flash large zips since we don't have an official TWRP specifically for our device.

first off thank you for your work because without developers such as yourself we would have nothing and i mean nothing so thanks man. ok so it is so weird because i had previously ran a TWRP for a different variant that i thought worked great until i went to use the backups that i made.... it would only save the system and not even the whole system like 30% or less. i lost a lot of stuff but now im thinking there might be a connection within the grand prime.... its just very odd that you are having a very rare but simalar issue dont you think? come to think of it i couldnt flash large zips either!! man there is something to this because itwould let me flash superSU but if it was any bigger it would fail me out. i still have the TWRP if you want to look at it if it helps but im not a DEV but i do see clues here and there if something is not right. just let me know and thanks for getting back to me.
Hey I have never been a tester before it would be a good experience for me and since i have bricked this phone several times already and brought it back no problem it seems I have enough knowledge to do the job do you need a tester?

One thing you all will find is that the factory ROM with xposed installed is just about better then any custom ROM for any model phone in my experience because it more stable than custom roms. I think custom roms are over rated. I've bricked enough phones to understand this first hand.

you know i was just looking into that yesterday and i have to agree with you because although Cyanogen and the others are great and user friendly, (no disrespect because i have builds 10, 11, and 12 running on various devices as we speak) but they just dont give you the freedom i saw when i got lost in the exposed repository last night HAAHA! i couldn't believe that i was seeing the stuff i was seeing! You know when someone says " why are you getting apps and programs to hide your activities, i dont care if some corporation wants to look, i have nothing to hide". i just smile and then make an agry face and say " Listen to me clearly, it is not about having anything to hide, far from it, it is about me having things like the Right to Privacy and Freedom of Speech and so on" and a lil thing called the BILL OF RIGHTS EVER HEARD OF IT?... ..... you get the point. i dont think we need me getting into some political rant... but it just got me thinking as i looked at all those add ons in the repository, "why am i so excited about this? This should be in every phone right?" WRONG... Wrong because it has already started a little chip at a time just like it always does throughout history, our rights are disappearing make no mistake and until one day we will wake up and have no rights left! Maybe a Bar code on the back of our necks or some Johnny Mnemonic type crap! Remember that movie?... but seriously people need to wake up! oh and can you explain to me how to get exposed on my phone i think im doing it wrong or something... sorry bout the rant im a litte crazy when i want to be Haha!

cool cool let me know and if anything weird happens maybe i can help but it should be fine just backup on some thirdparty just to be safe like nandroid or flashfire or whatever you like.
Don't back up directly from recovery?

Maybe im missing something but they have a custom ROM for Cricket and not for MetroPCS? Whats up with that? Is there one for Metro Or T-mobile? I have a unlocked Rooted SM-G530T1 With TWRP And No custom ROM Anyware I look. is there perhaps a cyanogenmod build that would work with the T-Mobile/MetroPCS Variant? That would be super cool. Anyone?
