"Firmware" is not what you should be flashing.....that is just the kernel, modem and a few other things. You need to flash a complete PB1 Restore

Manual reboot your phone to recovery mode , factory wipe and catche wipe then reboot . If not working reinstall the pb1 full stock rom or MM pd1 . ( Just download those roms from this site )

I thought there was a special way to go back to a LP bootloader from a MM one? Wish there were clear instructions somewhere

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Check you have the right CF-Autoroot, if you got the latest one it won't work as it's for KK only try This One - In future please read more.

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

Flashing STOCK ROM using ODIN tool will do everything (like unrooting, flashing stock recovery, kernel and ROM) :fingers-crossed:
No need to unroot seperately :fingers-crossed:
Make sure to wipe data and cache once after flashing STOCK ROM.

To fix the boot loop just re-Flash stock ROM (but no root yet)
Then find & flash custom PERMISSIVE Kernel for your Note 4 type if you are still want to be rooted.

you are facing a locked bootloader as we all are (both exy and snap) the only solution to fix your bootloop is to install apps like phone info then find out what your phone PDA version is then find the exact PDA from Sammobile or if you you are Having an 910C flash latest COJ5 rom or if you are on 910H try installing COJ4 rom (just download and install the latest frimware from sammobile or ... and you will be just fine )
Hi,
I already have a same problem with you, but i can through this..
you just find the right Firmware, its mean the latest firmware, try to download from sammoblie.com and find firmware for N910K picked the latest one. or folow this link : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/58333/N910KKTU2COJ5_N910KKTC2COJ5_KTC/
after download you just flash via Odin.
goodluck

Just done it about a month ago on my E5, No risk at all and I downgraded successfully to KitKat from Lollipop. Just download the KitKat firmware and flash it via Odin, just make sure after flash that you boot to recovery and perform full data wipe.
Hopefully Samsung hasn't locked our Lollipop bootloader and KitKat package has the old bootloader and because of that there is no problems after downgrade.

No it won't get bricked.
Just take a backup of the current ROM using recovery before flashing CM 11.
1. Flash ED300's Rollback .zip from here. (Source Thread by ED300.)
2. Flash your desired KK based ROM.

Use TWRP recovery 2.7 if you wanna flash any KK ROM.
Boot into recovery. Make backup of System ( in case you changed your mind and wanted to roll back )
Goto Wipe--> Advance wipe. Then wipe out System, Data, Cache n Dalvik cache.
Goto install, flash the ROM, and gapps. It would work fine
P.S. the instructions provided by the developer of the ROM.
