Most people are reporting that LiDroid is successful, I can confirm that it works well. I have occasionally encountered errors when installing apps from Play but they are not common or consistent. Note that when installing LiDroid the user may choose English for the language, but beware that the later Customer Service Customization menu selects the data network, thus if you live in China you should choose CHIN and not ENG at this menu. This second menu has no effect on the phones default language.

This post is about the G9006v which is the China Unicom version of the Galaxy S5. Here are links to a couple roms:
This is the official version:

Note: Enter the password at the first screen. Then, use the grey button above the file, there will be a second dialogue box, again choose the grey button, not the blue one. The file will start downloading, if you're not in China it will be slow.
This is a rom that someone made based off Shohat's ROM, it includes Google Play Store:

I flashed this rom and it seems to work fine, but changed the model number of my phone to 900F, not sure why? Also, let the google play store update services and a few other files and afterwards it seems to work just fine

You don't have to use the Baidu downloader, just press the GREY button BOTH times. =D
As far as how to flash, it's just like any other ROM. FYI, Shohat said he is working on making his version support the 6V so keep an eye out.

It is still working.
The first dialogue box, with a space to enter text, is for the password, though if you enter it once you won't have to subsequent times you visit the page.
If you're not in China, Baidu loads super slow. If it's too slow to download the 1GB file then you'll just have to wait for Shohat's rom next week. Should be better anyways. =D

Using this ROM should decrease the differences between the Chinese version and the "western" one, am I right?

Your question makes me think you might want to read a bit on what ROM is (don't worry, I don't reallly know either, but we can always learn more), but ultimately yes, this ROM contains some of the Google services not included in the China Unicom version.
Please be careful and understand that this a temporary fix, this ROM is a bit buggy. Keep an eye out for other XDA roms that will work for 9006V models. You will certainly want to flash something new later.
Nice job of putting it all together in one shot. Still haven't quite done it on my phone, but will be doing it soon. Maybe I'll wait for a ROM until the one you mention by Shohat comes along. Really would like if we could get some english developer love too. I know there are things available in chinese, those alone should have like 90% of the work done for those wanting to do a version for english.

I used this post:
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7340315-1-1.html
BUT:
I think that the only thing that really helped me was having the drivers, which I got through the long way, by installing 豌豆荚 on my computer and it automatically installed drivers. Windows couldn't find them. I've seen the drivers on that forum listed above, so if you don't want to install that app (it is kinda annoying, but helps sideload APKs).
One other thing to note:
I also got really thrown off by one part of the above instructions, to enter CWM after you flash it with Odin you need to press Vol+ + Home + Power, not volume down.

I was NOT pulling the battery immediately after odin popped off the restart. pulled battery and usb and then booted directly into recovery and worked just fine. I am now in the CWM recovery... now if only I spoke chinese....

Ok.... for english speakers....
Once you are in CWM recovery after yanking the battery last second and loading recovery on the next boot cycle (or you have to do it all again)... You will be presented with options... crazy options... select the first one, then select the second option (it says some english about install-recovery.sh). This will disable the recovery script that keeps writing samsung's recovery over your fresh CWM. Then I chose the 2nd option again after that, thinking it meant something about rooting the phone. Not sure, but the phone rebooted and everything was fine. CWM still intact.
After that, I installed supersu as linked on the chinese website shown previously. you can see english for ZIP and from there see ext.storage or internal, just point to were you downloaded it and click through to install.
I downloaded a copy of gapps for 4.4.2 and did the same thing as I did for supersu and BAM.... now I have google play and it's working.... Finally the phone i was wanting it to be, at least until a fully english rom becomes available.

I must be missing something here. I finally downloaded this file from the second link, which is called 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip'.
I ran Odin v.3.09 to flash this ROM (just like any other ROM), and obviously it doesn't recognise this file, as it's a zip file. So I extracted it to a folder. However, all I get is a lot of folders such as 'data', 'META-INF', 'system', 'tmp', 'tools' and two files 'check_data_app' and 'romconfig.xml'.
Odin also doesn't recognise this, as it's looking for .tar or .md5 or .smd or .gz or .tgz file extensions.
I've tried renaming the original zip file to .tar.md5 but this doesn't work either.
Could you please explain further, or even step-by-step exactly how you are supposed to flash this ROM? What software do I actually need to flash it?

ROMs are .zip and installed via Recovery. You can use ODIN to put recovery on your phone. Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM), TWRP are both recoveries.
Once recovery is on your phone you can enter it using the volume+ / power / home keys.
If you're still unclear on this process just look at any of the roms in the dev sections, they all include a short how to for installing a rom from recovery.
Thanks ddxv, and sorry for being stupid - all my previous phones I simply flashed from within Windows using ODIN.
So step-by-step guide should be as below?
1. Download Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM)
2. Download ODIN 3.09
3. Download 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' from your second link
4. Copy 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' to a MicroSD card and place into phone.
5. Reboot phone into Download Mode
6. Start ODIN
7. Click on 'AP' (was 'PDA') and find CWM recovery file
8. click Start
9. Once finished, the 'Pass' message will be displayed.
10. Reboot into recovery mode
11. Choose Wipe Data/factory rest
12. Select install zip from SD card
13. Flash phone
14. Reboot

My VyprVPNs connect but there isn't really any data sent afterwards. My StrongVPN account works occasionally. Neither are as good as on the computer. Make sure you're using PPTP, StrongVPN recommends unchecking the encryption as it's 'buggy' or something.
Also, Liantong/China Unicom in Beijing seems to constantly change connections, which naturally disconnects the VPN.

I've tried setting up both PPTP and L2TP/IPSec PSK connections, both fail immediately when trying to connect. The Astrill client app fails horribly. It's unable to link libraries ("libstlport_shared.so" is too small to be an ELF executable). It worked on the stock rom...

Yeah, the original rom this is based on was an older / original version of Shohat's rom.
There are now dozens of roms on the chinese sites, no doubt a fairshare are from xda, but probably less buggy than the one you chose
More Roms:
http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1443-type-10173.html
You can find it here: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/RU/
Install either via OTA update if you're already on the 1.87 RU ROM like I am. On my device it first wanted to install the update only, about 67MB, but it failed to install; then the next time I checked for updates after reboot through the settings update menu, it downloaded the full file, about 0,99 GB. Then the update went all the way through. SuperSU is lost on the way, I will try if it still works through the recovery installation.
You can also install through Yotaflasher like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247356
Didn't have time to test things out, but it's still Lollipop 5.0, so only bugfixes and some new yotapanel features I guess.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that muchly dude, hadn't checked that for a while.
Update seems to be stability improvements, power efficiency improvements and some yotamirror and panel improvements and features.
Its not 5.1, but it's an update, I'll take it.
And yeah, super glad moved to the RU ROM. Backing up now, will OTA flash update once that's done. SuperSU has been flashable everytime after an update so far so fingers crossed.
All up and running .
I was rooted, running RU 1.87 with TWRP - phone handled it all just fine - downloaded OTA, pressed install - it went to TWRP > flashed stock recovery back over itself > rebooted and installed.
Phone booted up, all working fine. Lost root - simple reboot and flash the SU.zip had sitting there from the last update. Cache and Dalvik wiped for good measure.
Reboot and all is well and back to normal but with a few improvements, lovely.
About as easy as it's even been done really.
Hope everyone else gets to enjoy the update through similarly smooth procedures .
Yeah, I ended up doing a fresh installation plus rooting, everything smooth. I'm never too sure what an update leaves behind.
It's really a great device, hopefully they'll keep updating things for a while. Of course version 6.0 would be welcomed... Apparently, by the numbering they use, next step would be either 1.2.xx with Android 5.1 or 2.x.xx with 6.0. Let's see.
Fair play, I toyed with idea of it, but was fresh from last install and honestly don't have the time to set everything up again.
My hope is they take all their good ideas from this and can at least join someone else in making a great device.
Saw a working bendy phone the other day, lets you turn pages on reading app by bending corner as you would a book etc. I thought if that could be combined with yota tech, then you have damn near the perfect tablet.
Honestly I don't think we'll get 5.1, let alone 6.0. They're refining their ideas in prep for Yotaphone 3, that and the possible tablet are their main focus right now.
Interestingly, the update flashed it's stock recovery over twrp - someone prepared for the possibility of root owners this time around. So they are still paying attention .
So any idea what's the difference between the EU and the RU rom? I mean there has to be some reason they are two separate roms.
To answer my own question: there isn't too many differences between EU and RU roms. I did a diff between the RU1.1.59 and EU1.1.60, and out of 2092 files, roughly 1900 of the files inside system.img were identical. The APKs were slightly different, but only slightly. So probably the difference comes from some differently named resources.
The RU version also has some additional apps which the EU version does not have, such as Esquire, Questions, Strelka and Vector. These are probably the main reason why they have different ROMs. They might only work in Russia.

FYI the difference is essentially the product package configuration (app bundles that are pre-loaded) but there are also some differences between the resources used for the stock apps. One in particular (my personal fav ) is the dialler - the RU variant includes cyrillic characters regardless of language/locale setting (feature). The EU will give you a regular english-only dialler if you're using english locale settings

and ofc for been helped by everyone who wants to help me because i am completely new to android world cause this is my first android phone ever!
so.. let's get started!
i downloaded [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
version 1.4.3 doesnt works for me so i downloaded the 1.3 as suggested and worked.
then i enabled the download mode following the procedure:
Turn off the phone, then press and hold the volume down key + the power key at the same time. This should boot you into download mode.

*is installing TWRP a mandatory step?
EDIT: the answer is NO. it seems that the mandatory part is to unlock the bootloader (the bad part for the warranty.. and that can erase ur data..) and this can be done following this guide How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 untill point 6 included - which i am reporting here for easy of use.
How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 said:
How to Flash TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2
1 - Setup ADB and Fastboot on your Windows PC.
2 - Enable USB debugging from developer options on your YotaPhone 2.
3 - Connect it to PC with a USB cable, if it asks for debugging authorization, permit it.
4 - Go to the folder where you downloaded the TWRP recovery image from the download link above on your PC and open a command window inside that folder by doing “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder, then select “Open command window here”.
5 - (Skip this if your bootloader is already unlocked) Now to unlock the bootloader, type in the following command:
└ Beware that unlocking the bootloader may wipe your phone’s data. Make sure to backup first before proceeding.
adb reboot bootloader

The info is described in various posts across the yotaphone forum. Are you rooted? If not then there also many many guides across the internet for that.
Not walking you through the whole process, sorry. We all had to learn, once you do it's all much easier.
It happens also to me...don't panic! press Volume up and the power button and when you enter in the bootloader select the downloading options, it will restart the phone with the "downloading" status
in the meanwhile with the yotaflasher select the option to downloads a firmware and try a different one. When the download is finished try to flash once again.

I placed like you the rom downloaded through website in the firmware folder and flash got wrong. I was blocked on "powered by android" logo like you.
After this almost-bricking experience, I flashed 4.4.3 downloaded all through Flasher and phone was working again.
Then I tried to substitute 5.0 system.img in the folder downloaded through Flasher but no way... after flashing phone didn't boot.
I reflashed 4.4.3 back again and now is working.
I think that we can't put files in folder for Yota Flasher...
I cannot download last 5.0 EU version, like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yot...ially-dead-t3312382/post65839167#post65839167

after my big mistake i have done this:
*i downloaded the last 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.61a.zip then i flashed it. reminding to unzip it and put it in the right folder of the flasher. remind that this will delete ur data too prob.
*i checked for update on the phone in setting--> about phone --> sistem update
*it downloaded lollipop (android 5.0 Lollipop - 1Gb to download) :laugh:
*i took the 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip and flashed it
*u can choose english when the phone boot so dont worry about firmware to be RU
*i checked the firmware version doing the combo "Volume up and the power button" (press it while restarting)
*i changed the language of the phone in setting --> language (there is plenty of languages to choose. i choose mine, italian, but sometimes it happens to find something in english )
i downladed some app etc etc but i never used it for calls cause of the requested nano sim that i'm going to take tomorrow probably cause today i get stucked with trouble about my contacts.
hope to solve the problem for pass my contacts form my nokia N8 to yotaphone 2 quickly!

I saw also an update this morning at home on wifi (I wait for the SIM too) because yesterday I flashed the 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.51a: is not the 61 like yours and I received an update alert to 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.56. I'm at work, I'll try this evening.
I haven't updated this morning because I was downloading a previous 5.0, the EU 1.44, but when flashing I had error "cannot load firmware/system.img". So I reflashed 4.4.3... I'll try again this evening

Hi, download YotaFlasher, it permits you to download and flash firmwares in an easy way, and you don't need to know any shell command

Hello! I have 5.0!
After flashing and old version of 4.4.3 (my phone went with a 4.4.something branded Vodafone Italy, and they evidently don't give a fork about updates). With the 4.4.3 rev 1.0.51a I immediately received he update to 1.0.56a: I downloaded the 114MB, rebooted, and then got the update to 1.0.61a, around 63MB. I rebooted and then got finally the update to 5.0, 1GB :laugh:
I have only one problem now: the device doesn't recognize when I'm looking at the ink screen, and power button powers on the amoled... Even unlocking through swiping from bottom to top doesn't work. Option is correctly set, I tried to uncheck, reboot, wipe cache and check the option again but it not working well yet.

seems that is the same for a lot of people if not everyone..
cause of this problem i am using this app gravity screen on/off.
it halves the problem cause now i have no problem for the amoled. and for problem i mean use the pwer button instead of simply swipe.
for the e-ink panel i still have to use the power button, only way it works.
Hi Guys,
Im litterlay close to breaking down after trying to get Lineageos 14.1 running on my G900V verizon S5 for more than 12 hours now.
I followed various youtube tutorials and the guide given in this article https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...al/guide-painiacs-essential-guide-to-t3319848.
The last thing i tried was unlocking the bootloder following a yt tutorial... now the phone pretty much freezes when booting showing the galaxy s5 and the custom android logo, it even plays the booting sound of samsung but after nothing happens. All i tried since was trying to get it back to stock 4.4.2 but when i use ODIN it gives me the error " sw rev check fail aboot fused 2 binary 1".
At the moment i literally lost hope to ever get nougat to run on this f***kin verizon phone, all i want is to get it to run again on something newer than 4.4.4 :crying:
I´ll be so glad for any help and if you could even help me get 14.1 to run on it id love you guys for ever.
Edit: I can still get into recovery and download mode but cant get into safestrap anymore, but i do have a backup of the system 4.4.2 with root and safestrap on my pc would there be a way to use that?

It means that you've flashed a firmware newer than BOK3 at least once.
No chance to flash 4.4.2 with Odin any more.
If you just need a working VZW phone - simply download a stock firmware BOK3 or newer and flash it with Odin.
The first boot will take 15 min or so.
If you need something else - tell what you would like to have.
wow simple as that? well awesome but then what would you recommend me to do next? is there a way to still get cm 14.1 on the verizonphone or should i just go with stock 6.1 and accept all the verizon bloatware bulls** :/
@Marv95
I cannot recommend anything, you have to decide yourself.
But the first thing you need is to have a working phone back and check the CID of your device.
If it's 15 then you'll be able to install LOS. If it's 11 - you won't.
I'd have a look at this topic. No need to flash back a stock firmware, you may begin with COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1
Well awesome thanks so far, ill check the cid :good: do you have a link where i can get the G900VVRU2BOK3 - GALAXY S5 SM-G900V VZW USA firmware the sammobile download takes 2 hours
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-t3281095 , this a right one (VZW_BOK3_ODEX_DEODEX_V2.zip)??

well first of all thank you so much the phone is working again but sadly cid shows 11 so no cm14.1...guess 13 wont work then either? will have a closer look for what to do next this evening my goal would be the most uptodate firmware (german language support would be the dream since somehow this verizonfirmware [like the old 4.4.4] only supports english)

The locked bootloader (that cannot be unlocked) matters, not CM/LOS version.
The locked bootloader cannot boot unsigned kernel, that's why you're limited to Touchwiz-based roms only.

Well, I'm in the similar boat.
Let's see and decide. Netzclub means O2 network, which means B20 band for LTE, which is definitely not supported by device. So we can forget it.
German general CSC is DBT.
Ok, I'd say, your choice is this stock-like cleaned ROM for SM-G900F and the latest DQF2 firmware for SM-G900V. CSC must be DBT.
It's a little tricky to flash, but possible.
You'll have a phone that looks like F variant with German and so on.
But you won't have root.
Do you need root?

Good decision.
Sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment, but I'll give you some directions ASAP.
You need to download:
1. This service firmware.
2. Alexndr's firmware (G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip)
You do have Odin already.
You'll need some more files, I'll prepare them for you a little later.
Here we go.
1. Check if Reactivation Lock is disabled. Charge the battery to more than 50%.
2. Download Odin (you should already have it) and COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 (link is in my previous post).
3. Download applications and firmware files - CID11_DBT.zip
4. Download ROM file - G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip (link is in my previous post).
5. Run Odin.exe.
6. Select COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in Odin's AP slot, boot the phone into the download (Odin) mode, connect with USB cable to the computer, press Start, wait till the flash process is finished. Press Exit and wait for the phone to complete reboot.
7. Disconnect USB cable from the phone and connect again.
8. Unzip CID11_DBT.zip into the CID11_DBT forlder on the Desktop.
9. Copy everything from CID11_DBT folder to the root of phone's internal memory. IMPORTANT: options.prop should appear in the root of phone's memory, not in a subdirectory.
(Root means that root which you can see in your Windows File Explorer, not the absolute root from the phone's side. Really it's /sdcard/ from the phone's side.)
10. Copy ROM file G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip to the root of phone's internal memory.
11. Disconnect the cable from the phone.
12. Press Menu (dotted button) - My Files - All - RootS5.
13. Apex_Launcher.apk - Settings - Unknown Sources - Ok - Back - Apex_Launcher.apk - Next - Install - Done.
14. BusyBox.apk - Install - Done.
15. Safestrap_KK.apk - Install - Done.
16. tr_v2.apk - Install - Open - make it rain (a message "You should have root, no reboot required" should appear) - Back.
17. Superuser.apk - Install - Open - Continue - Normal - Reboot.
18. After reboot, in the pop-up window - Apex Launcher - Always - Ok.
19. Menu (dotted button) - BusyBox Free - Grant - close balloon - Install - close balloon - Back.
20. Safestrap - Grant - Agree - Install Recovery - Reboot to recovery. Wait patiently for SafeStrap Recovery to boot.
21. Swipe to Allow modifications - Wipe - Advanced Wipe - Dalvik/Data/Cache - Swipe to Wipe.
22. Back - Back - Back - Install, install G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip.
23. Back - Back - Mount - check System.
24. Back - Advanced - File manager - go to /sdcard/ and copy these files:
- /sdcard/build.prop - to /system/;
- /sdcard/others.xml - to /system/CSC/;
- /sdcard/others.xml - to /system/CSC/DBT/system/csc/.
25. Go to /system/, highlight build.prop, change file's permissions to 0644 (chmod 0644).
26. Go to /system/CSC/, highlight others.xml, change file's permissions to 0644 (chmod 0644).
27. Go to /system/CSC/DBT/system/csc/, highlight others.xml, change file's permissions to 0644 (chmod 0644).
28. Exit File manager pressing Back. In the main menu - Mount - uncheck System - Back - Install.
29. Install DQF2_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip. Then Reboot System - Do not install.
30. The phone will reboot. The first boot takes 10 min. or so.
After all you may erase all the files from the phone's memory or perform a factory reset from menu or Recovery.
Thanks ill try this evening after work :good::good::good:
Awesome mate, awesome thank you so much it worked without any problems :highfive::good::good:
Ok, glad it helped.
Now you have the most up-to-date SM-G900V: system - G900FXXU1CQG1 (changelist 9493471, security patch 2017-07-01) and firmware -G900VVRS2DQF2 (changelist 8025411, security patch 2017-07-01)

One more question somewhere between step 23 and 28 would it have been possible to install newest emoji package or even iphone emojis into systemfiles? or is it to late to just do all the steps above again
because i feel like i now see even less emotes than before
1. It cannot be late to revert the things back as you haven't done anything irreversible.
You can at any moment just flash a stock Verizon firmware and get a "stock" phone.
You can at any moment start with my guide from the beginning too.
2. You're right, after 23 but before 28 you have full access to /system and can install or copy something there.
3. Generally, you can leave Safestrap Recovery in the system.
On the one hand, you'll be able to access system files from time to time when you need.
On the other hand, some apps with higher security demands may not work (say, bank applications or so).
If you decide you need it, you'll have to install it after 22 before 23. Let me know and I'll give you necessary files.
P.S. I don't know what "emoji package" is. Maybe it can be installed as app or font or something that does not need direct /system access. It's always a good idea to place your data to /data, not to /system.

I have an note 3 that was repaired because it wasn't connecting to the internet and when it was repaired, the system status was set to custom meaning it can't receive updates. So when I was rooting it, it wouldn't boot to android, instead it was stuck in download mode and saying "Could not do normal boot". It can't even go to recovery mode. I don't remember what was the build number was, so I don't know what firmware should I install. Also, it's in Korean when in download mode.
Model name: SM-N9005
I am lost and need help.
EDIT 11/02/2022: I just realized that in download mode it shows SM-N900S.

Hi,
Once I had this problem too.
Go here then search your model number and download the firmware you want (They are all official).
When downloaded extract the file.
Now download Odin and run it on your computer or laptop.
If there were 1 or 2 files in the zip file you downloaded, in Odin click "AP" and then select the bigger file. If there were 4 or 5 files in the zip file there is a 2 character word at the start of the extracted files like BL-xxxxx Or AP-xxxxx ETC. You can see these names in Odin too. Select the files by their name .
Now plug your phone to your computer or laptop with a good cable.
Turn your phone on to the Odin mode (download mode) and on your computer click Start.
After a while it will reboot and your Galaxy Note 3 will be fixed.
Note: When you select files in Odin it will take around 30 minutes to check the file so if it wrote "Odin is not responding" don't worry, just wait.
If you had problems please let me know.

The region of the firmware is not very important.
Just download the one you like.
Other websites are not very good.
Because the files are so big, sometimes there are problems with them.
If you saw errors, sometimes it's for the file. Just download another one.
And if you wanted to get it easier, just root your device then install a good custom ROM like MagMa NX or N7 port phonersis or even android 11 with official LineageOS.
If you wanted to use a custom ROM please let me know to help you.
Because I installed custom ROMs many times.

Happy to help
For custom ROMs, N7 port by phonersis is running android 6 and turns your Note3 into a Note7. There is also MagMa NX ROM that is running android 6 but it's Samsung Naught themed and it's a bit slow.
And LineageOS 18.1 (Android11) is the fastest ROM for your device. The only problem with LineageOS is that you don't have a Samsung phone anymore. It's like a Google Pixel. You can't use Samsung notes or other Samsung apps and services. And if you used S Pen much, I don't recommend LineageOS.
But currently I am using LineageOS and N7 port phonersis. Sometimes I switch between them (but I don't recommend switching).
Steps to install custom ROMs:
Step 1: take a backup of your important data.
Step 2: root your device. see how to root
Step 3: flash the specific version of TWRP.(Because some custom ROMs require a specific version of TWRP like MagMa NX or N7 port by phonersis)
Step 4: full wipe (system, data, dalvik, cache).
Step 5: install the ROM.
If you wanted to install N7 port by phonersis please read the instructions.
And download LineageOS from the official site.
If you had any problems please let me know .
Some of us been downloading firmware free of charge from sammobile for many years .Likewise other sites .But times change since this was an actively developed model .
Problem with Note 3 is that old uploads are now dead due to many years passed .

If can't reboot to system it means you deleted your devices system. Which ROM are you gonna install? I am crDroid.

Good choice
Hi,
I need a big help (or maybe a miracle) as I messed up a Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910F).
I didn’t know about this forum and I was a little reckless ... so here I am.
Beforehand thanks for any help and please forgive my English (not my native language).
I own an old Note4 (forgotten in a closet for almost 4 years) and I need to access to /data folder.
I tried to root using a multi-tool software for win7 thinking it was the safest way (I discovered too late Odin and CF-Auto-Root). During the process the phone unexpectedly disconnected and it got stuck on recovery mode. I somehow fixed it (another pc software) but now the phone keep restarting after 20-25 seconds that it loads homepage (I can see all icons and even access to internal storage via USB but in this short time I can’t do much).
I tried also some PC tools working with download mode to extract data, but no luck.
I read in the forum that is possible to flash a stock firmware without wipe data (using HOME_CSC). I found several firmware for SM-N910F but they all are single file.md5. Using Frija or SamFir (binary nature ON) I got only 4 file and no HOME_CSC.
I found a firmware (single file) named N910FXXU1DQHC_N910FITV1DQH1_N910FXXS1DQA1_HOME but I don’t know if the word “home” as anything to do with preserving data
How can I solve this?
Its’ possible to modify normal CSC into HOME_CSC?
Please keep in mind that all the effort is to extract some files from root folders before erase all data. If it’s possible to restore android and then retry rooting is a good solution too.
Samsung note 4 (SM-N910F).
Version build N910FXXU1DQHC (ITV)
Android 6.0.1
Thanks.

did you tried odin?
yes i tried several times with different version of odin (only the CF autoroot)
all process go without error.
I can see the red adroid icon too at first reboot and in the lines written that flow there are non errors.
However, at this point, the phone reboot again (during loading "Set Warranty Bit : kernel ) and when android starts there are no chenges (can't find SU).
then it reboot again and again ... until i remove battery.
I can go into download mode or recoery mode but there is an allert "DM-Verity verification failed"
I still didnt try to flash firmware as i'm afraid of loosing data
ps thanks for replying

sorry but i'm note sure I understand the question. i did not try to flash twrp. I though it would wipe all data. If it is safe I can try and I'll let you know (before I need to read a full tutorial). do I need to put a sdcard on the phone?

i said if you can explore the data via twrp but in that sdcard if the note4 not boot maybe an debrick model for your model N910F debricker dont repartition because maybe hard brick but what kind data you have maybe reinstall stock solve but i dont have any right to say
ok. if I can I will try twrp. meawhile if you come up with other solution you are welcame.
I apreciated your suggestion.
a little update..
I wanted to try twrp (it really seems a good solution) but I can not enable "Oem Unlock" function to unlook bootloader. The function simply is not displayed in developer options .
I read there are trick to display "Oem Unlock" but I can use the phone only 20-25 seconds before it re-start (too short time).
what appen if I flash TWRP whitout unlock bootloader?
Resolved!!
I installed TWRP at first try using odin (without unlock bootloader) . Now I can use file manager to copy all the files I need.
Really thanky you AlinTecsan
