Hey guys, sad day for me yesterday as I had tried to install the Slick Rom for the G950U the other day but came to realize my bootloader was updated past 2 so I could not flash it. Are there any ROMs available with an updated bootloader like mine? I don't know exactly what version I have but I know it's above 2. Is there any hope for this phone? I feel like it is a piece of crap compared to my Oneplus One I had for 4 straight years because of the incredible ROMs they had available for the OPO....

Looking to purchase a Sammy s5 and am not familiar with flashing since my Galaxy nexus days. (those were the days lol) Been in the Motorola boat for some time.
Base band shows G900VVRU1BOCA and according to Samsung's website, I believe this means it's at the LP version at this point. Any problems flashing back to KK to root etc that I need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance.

That was probably OC4. No problem downgrading, rooting, then upgrading again and keeping root.
I had one of those Galaxy Nexus's too. Nothing could be as fun as those were. Flash a different rom and kernel every day for at least a month.
Hey XDA I have rooted and installed custom roms on various android devices in the past, and am now working on my Note 4.
I have it rooted and TWRP installed , but am now unsure if I need to flash a different modem or bootloader. I understand that the Canadian variant uses the T-Mobile Roms.
I am looking to install CMRemix http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/rom-cmremix-rom-v2-5-12-23-14-t2981479 which is a T-Mobile Rom.
Will I simply download and flash it or do I need to do extra work first?
Thank you, and I apologize for posting this question. I was slowly going crazy after searching the forum for these things to no avail!
I figured it out. I checked by bootloader and it was up to date. I was having issues with Odin, but after reconnecting the USB cable 6 different times it finally picked up my phone in Downloading mode!
No worries. It seems that the N910W8 is basically the same hardware as the N910T3.
In the same way the Note 3 T-Mobile was the same as the Note 3 Canadian variant.
No need to worry about modems assuming yours is up to date.
Although, I must admit that while CM Roms tend to have interesting features, they lack support for some of the built-in hardware, and the battery life has been inferior in my own experience.
You should check out Temasek's CM versions.
Have fun
Hi mates, as for unfair destiny I bought a CID 11 Verizon I'm asking if there will be any chance for us to flash Android 7.1 one day. Since Samsung not planning it for this phone and the bootloader unlock is far to be solved (really a pity, unsolved challenge) I'm afraid I will never..
I hope I'm wrong..
There is still a chance but it is pretty unlikely

Hello -
I've learned tons from this sight, and thank you all! I've also tried to pay this forward by helping my friends root and ROM their own devices, and I haven't lost one yet!
Anyway...I'll be blunt, and to the point:
I've run my Verizon Note 4 DE on Page Plus since I bought it from Samsung a coupla years ago. All was well, till Page Plus started sucking badly, so I went back to Verizon. I usually debloat and block any OTA updates in the past, but have had a lot going on and it slipped my mind till this morning when I woke to a OTA'd Note 4. I've tried everything I can think of, and have unbricked a couple times already today. None of the current methods, even Kingroot and Kingoroot, will root this. Bootloader is of course locked, and I'm pretty sure that because this update is so new, there may not be a crack for it yet.
So in essence, what I have here is a very expensive retail version Note 4.
I did an aboot.bak when I first got this phone, but cannot locate it for the life of me.
Can anyone help me root and unlock here?
Thanks a lot everyone!

Hello, a few months ago the motherboard died and then I bought a new replacement on aliexpress, the new board has already been updated to the latest QI5 bootloader and now I can not unlock it.
Any suggestions?
The simple answer is no. There may be a way but as far as I am aware of not yet. Generally speaking , aboot is upwared compatible but not downward compatible. Since, there are not official updates for the ageing Note 4 were stuck with the 5DQ15 aboot. The sad part is that all the developers hard work on previous custom roms on marshmallow and kit kat will not be of any use. All there hard work and the donations have been cut away. How sad, Id be really pissed if I had developed a custom rom and Samsung and Sprint cut me off from my possible income. I am not a developer but I enjoy flashing different roms and also had to replace my Note 4 . I lost mine. Then discovered that I could not find one that was not on the 5Dq15 bootloader. Afterwards, I decided to take risks with my new note 4 and mod away. So far so good hotspot mod and many custom mods and ports. I had almost given up on finding a Note 4 on the latest update but I found one on Ebay for $80 Grade A. OMG. Im still waiting on it to arrive. Seems to good to be true so I am keeping it real and will try not to get to optimistic. Time will tell.
Correction
Lollipop and kitkat roms most likely will not work, you will still be able to flash custom roms that are on marshmallow just make sure to keep 5DQ15 bootloader and modern.
