2 things... Would anyone mind verifying that once you use the tmobile root, you can no longer boot into recovery?
I tried to factory reset and the recovery will not boot.. Just flashes the android icon every few seconds.
The only way to boot back into the phone is to put it into download mode and re run the tmobile root. It will restart and all will be good.
Now, if it is not just my phone that no longer has a working stock recovery, does anyone know a way to factory reset without a working recovery? I'm guessing it's not possible. Kies does not work with the Sprint Note 4 yet. They updated it today and you can backup the n4 but not factory reset.
Finally, can anyone that used the Galaxy Tools app to get WiFi tethering to work, check to see if your private mode will turn on? I do not have xposed installed and the wifi tether fix in the galaxy tools app seems to be the only thing I can think of that would have broke Private Mode.
Thanks!
Same thing happened to me. I had to get another note 4. There is no way until samsung releases the firmware dump. Sprint even called best buy samsungs care center to see if they have the reflash files and they don't even have it. Odin wipe the data and bring it into sprint so they can give you another one.
Mine boots just fine to the recovery and tecovery works just fine.
I know when i first downloaded thw CF auto for n910t and used the oding in that package my process failed and phone showed to monitors on screen
So i took battery off and download mode again and used a different odin i allready had same version and did the process again and worked and everything is fine.

It is not that big a deal. I can wait for a custom recovery and then go from there. I wanted to factory reset so that I could get private mode back, but I will just use it as is until there is another alternative.
Others are saying that their recoveries are working fine. I guess you and I are the lucky ones
Thanks Androidwarrior.

What version of Odin did you use? Thanks
I just auto-rooted with N910T, and tried to install Wifi Tether (and TrevE variant) and neither worked. I don't think it started the tether correctly, it was unable to open the log for write, so I don't have a log. I am pretty sure the root was successful (at least partially). I used the root checker app and it said I was good and within the terminal emulator I was able to switch users to root.
I also unsuccessfully tried X Tether. It started up, and showed up on my computer, but I wasn't able to connect to it, and after a while it invariably told me that I needed to upgrade my service.

Have you tried Galaxytools from playstore it worked just fine on mine for hotspot
Just loaded it... It seems like I am getting a "System Updating" every time I reboot now, not sure if it was doing it before that though. After some playing with it, I think it is now working. I hit the "Enable Native Hotspot" and it rebooted and then it worked for a while, I tried it again, and it seems more reliable now. I'm still not convinced its completely reliable. I tried a speedtest on my laptop while tethering and I got about 8Mbps down, but only about 300kbps up. The upload seemed very goofy, like it was sending a lot of data and then pausing, and then sending a lot of data. Interestingly it was on 3G initially and getting about 1.5Mbps and the same thing up (and then when I rebooted it, I got LTE and the higher download speeds).

Can you check to see if using galaxy tools to enable tether kills your private mode? Since using the galaxy tools app, whenever I click on private mode it fails saying "Private mode failed to start, try again."

I'm not sure how to use it since this is the first time I've heard of it, but it appears to be there. S Health seems to have been killed somewhere along he way there. No more pedometer, UV sensor, SPO2, or heart rate....

TWRP should be out today so we can root via an actual Sprint method if you guys wanted to wait a little longer. I believe you can even root via CF now.

Hey everyone. between my brothers and I, we have five Evo's. two of us are running full roots and nand unlocks, the other three are using unrevoked. those that unrevoked can use the wifi router without issue, but for my brother and myself, using the wifi router results in the app crashing and having to force close.
has anyone seen anything similar? can anyone offer me some solution?
and btw, this is my third rom. they all have the same results(full wipe, data and davik cache clear each time)
Delete wi fi tether from the phone and re-download it. This has worked for me everytime i change roms =)
Hope it helps.
Do you mean the wireless tether app? I am running my own rom but it seems that it worked for me when I was using fresh. But that is the only other rom I have tried. Have you tried re-installing the tether app?
I'm not sure i can remove the base wifi tether app. it's always cooked into the rom. and i have tried reinstalling the app. i've gone from the original version, to the newer version and finally the beta version with no luck
I was having this issue for awhile. I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but my work around was:
1. Re-install from the market place (Do not launch)
2. Reboot
3. Install this version http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk&can=2&q=NexusOne
(Don't lanch)
4. Reboot
5. Should work now
Hmmmmmm. I am sure someone else can offer better advice, but does the super user app come up to ask for permission or it fc's before that?

okay, i did exactly as you said. now the app will start, but as soon as i click on the wifi symbol, it thinks for a second and says "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!"
Edit: and on first run, it asked me for super user permissions. i click grant and checked the box to allow future requests
I am not sure if your signature is correct but have you tried flashing the newest radio? I am not sure if that would fix it or not. And the same thing happens to the other phone? Puzzling indeed. I'm sure someone will drop in and tell you how to fix it soon. Worst case, start over. Even though I know you said you tried various roms, maybe you are accidentally skipping a step, I do that sometimes

Ok, go back through the same process and try this one instead of what was in step 3.

If that doesn't work, I've got nothing else. The first one was the beta you probably tried earlier. This is the stable one; however, I never tried it with this one. I always got it working using the 2_0_5 version.
Also, for ****s and giggles, have you tried updating you profile and prl?
- you didn't flash the wireless n patch over a 1.47 base Rom correct? Can you connect to a WiFi router or is it just the tether app?

the only thing i can think of is that the rooting process screwed up somehow. but for it to screw up in the same way for two separate phones is odd, but it's the only thing that has remained constant since the very beginning.
Menu - settings - system updates. The profile and prl won't mess with root or anything but its something I have heard to do in this case. Don't know if it will help.
Also did you see the note about the wifi n patch on the other page? I added it after I posted... like this

Well crapola. I think I'm outta ideas man. if you didn't patch the wireless n over a 1.47 Rom then I have no clue what it could be. maybe Sprint is spying on you and has your phones on lock down! but if you can't find the answer just try starting fresh. it might be a pain but who knows what little quirk could have gotten messed up.

Samsung has released a replacement for KIES to use on newer phones. It's called Samsung Smart Switch. There are the App versions you run on the phone, and there are the Windows and Mac versions you run on your PC. This is a run through on the Windows PC on how to restore your Firmware in case you've Borked your phone. I actually recommend you do this, even if you have not done anything wrong to your phone. My phone ran really hot, laggy, and the battery life was horrible. After flashing the stock firmware, it now runs cool, smooth, and fast.
Stuck at 51%???

Did you loose root after doing this ? Did you re-root if you did loose it ?
Yes, root is lost. No, I didn't re-root. Currently, I'm happy with how my phone is running. Others have rooted again and then replaced recovery with stock And they claim good results.
Thanks for this!! Just to verify, with this tool including the update, root still works correct? I came from att to t-mobile just so I could root this phone. So I want to make sure I'll be able to immediately root again lol! I haven't taken the update yet.

I personally have not rooted again after using this. Others have said they rooted again and the phone stayed working well. I believe they replaced the buggy Recovery with the Stock Recovery afterwards. Not sure if that has anything to do with stability or not.

Maybe uninstall and re-install. That sounds like a software/pc issue.
Do you get the same thing if your phone is not plugged in? If it works without the phone plugged in, maybe try another cable. Or at least confirm you have the Original Samsung Cable being used.

My experience is less than perfect. I did a backup using SS, did the "emergency software recovery and initialisation", and then restored my backup using SS. The backup supposedly restored successfully, but all it did was restore my apps. My homescreen is not restored despite selecting all, nor are my 5 different google accounts restored. Wish I knew this would happen - I'd have thought twice about doing it....

That's good info for others. I set mine up as a new device when I went back. Only thing I recovered was my text messages.
I've found in the past that when recovering, it sometimes brings back the issues from before, so I rarely restore anything except messages. I take screen shots of my home screens and the app drawer so I can put it back manually as I had it. I find this gives me less future headaches.
Also, for what it's worth, the S6 is NOT the only phone I've had that benefits from a fresh flash when new. I've had Windows Phones and other Android Phones that run MUCH better afterwards. I make it a standard thing to flash them within the first couple days of getting them if it's possible. The outcome is often positive. On occasion, no difference has been noticed.
It fixed all of my phone problems AND the restore facilitated setting it up again without bringing back any of the original lag/clumsiness. Fantastic fix, thanks for sharing!

I will say I think the battery is as good as it will get with this release of firmware. I leave all my radios on and VoLTE is enabled. With that said, it lasts nowhere near as long as an iPhone 6 or LG G2. So far I can live with how it's lasting, but I do hope it will be fixed in future releases.
Rooted Sprint Galaxy S6 on Lollipop 5.1.1 with Teamwin recovery
http://tiribulus.net/pix/Phone/1.png
http://tiribulus.net/pix/Phone/2.png
Sporadically lags a bit everywhere, but I cannot receive incoming calls. I use another phone to test and it rings on the calling phone several times, goes to my voicemail and THEN rings on my phone and of course can't be answered. It just hangs there all greyed out until I hang up and takes like 20 seconds for the phone app to disappear. Other times it doesn't even ring at all on my phone. I can make outgoing calls.
The Sprint support guy took me through re-provisioning the phone with some dial pad codes, he did something to the SIM card too , I've uninstalled Drupe (which has been great) and reinstalled it. Tried both when on and off the phone. No difference
Wiped both the cache partition and the davlik cache.
This started a couple days ago when the phone rebooted ITSELF without my touching it and then booted back up into an error that said "Unfortunately, NetworkSystemProvider has stopped.". Couldn't do anything. Tapping OK made it go away for half a second and it was back. A friend of mine managed to get some Sprint specific thing either disabled or yanked and the error went away. Everything seemed to be fine. I'm not sure when the phone issue started exactly or even if it's related to that situation or not. I just noticed today that someone was calling me and I couldn't answer. (I do most of my communications online and don't get that many phone calls, but the ones I do get are very important)
Oh yeah, I reseated the SIM after an error saying there wasn't one after the Sprint guy sent some info to it and that went away.
i am at total loss here. The Sprint guy of course wants to wipe the phone. That would be a monstrous drag for all the reasons you guys already know for a phone that has been working great for over a year like it is.
Please be my new hero and tell me what to do if anybody knows. I have good PC skills and SOME with Android, but this is beyond me.
Thank you SO much.
It also keeps re-sending me old txts
The Sprint store gave me a new SIM card and that didn't fix it either. Restoring a TWRP full image restore from April didn't fix it. A factory wipe in Teamwin recovery didn't fix it. Same exact symptoms no matter what I do.
Ring ring ring ring ring on the calling phone, it finally rings on mine, but is already in voicemail on the calling phone. Once in a GREAT while it will ring just a bit earlier on mine and it will flutter between being greyed out on the answer screen (all the options like speaker etc) and eventually connect the call after a second or two. Nobody I can find has ever seen anything like this. This S6 was working absolutely flawlessly for well over a year.
It also appears I am not usually getting incoming txt messages either, but I am getting only certain old ones repeatedly. Sometimes old voicemails too. It's almost more like it's a remote server issue somewhere.
I hate to say it, but it sounds like your phone is failing and will need to be replaced. But before you do that, here is a relatively easy thing to try:
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Using Odin, flash the latest firmware. You are at 5.11, the latest is 6.01. That will restore you to stock OS, take away root and TWRP, but you'll be able to restore those. You shouldn't have any data loss.
Once that is done, go to Settings and System Update and then Update PRL and Profile. See if that solves it. If it does, you can quickly Root and Recovery again.
Good luck!

TWRP (or Teamwin if you like) won't be an issue. Download Odin on your PC, download the zipped TAR file in the first post of my link. Extract the .MD5 in the zip to the same directory as Odin (you don't really have to, this is just convenient. Install the latest Samsung drivers to your PC, make sure that your computer recognizes the phone. Put the phone into Download mode. (Hold the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time.) Plug the phone into your computer. If the com light lights up in Odin, you are good to go. Flash the TAR using the AP slot in Odin.
This sounds like a lot, but it is easier to do than for me to tell you. But WAIT! In my linked post, there is a video that will walk you through it all!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv0BnfpNxEs
How easy is that? The only thing that Tim says that is no longer true is that data won't be wiped by default.
OOPS WROTE THIS BEFORE I SAW YOU REPLIED LEMME LOOK
I'm sorry man. I'm actually a seasoned PC support guy. I know I'm being a pain. I don't have muich experience with these phones though and it's been 14 months since I flashed this one. I don't know what most of that means over there.
I don't have the regular recovery. I have Teamwin. There IS an ADB side load function in there. Is that what I use in place of the regular download mode? If so, won't that leave Teamwion on the phone since that's what I'm using? Sprint won't give me another one while it's on there.
How do I know if Odin is seeing the phone? It doesn't appear to act like it knows my phone is attached to the computer. Does it have to be in download mode that I'm trying to find out how to get into here
Forgive my abject ignorance please.

Could you be holding the Volume Up button, not the Volume Down button by mistake?
Doesn't matter. If you are in TWRP and you select "Reboot" one of the options should be Download. That will do the same thing for you.
You can also install something like this (if you are rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jc.rebootmanager
And one last thing. You need to have your phone in Download mode to be seen by Odin.
Oh goodness me!! I AM A MORON!!

You can also install something like this (if you are rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jc.rebootmanager
And one last thing. You need to have your phone in Download mode to be seen by Odin.

Yes, that's what I was doing
It is restarting now, but didn't actually erase anything. It looks like it just upgraded to Marshmallow. However, I am being barraged with txt messages so maybe it fixed it. I'll let you know. Thank you very much for your patience.
That fixed it!!! The phone works!!! I didn't even lose any of my data or pix or contacts or anything.
Now all I gotta do is get ROOT back and TWRP reinstalled.
Thank YOU sir!! The other fella too. His instructions probably would have worked if I had pressing the right button.

Yep, those are done and now installing adaway. Thanks again very much. I wouldn't blame you for finding it hard to believe after this, but I actually do have substantial computer skills overall, just not with these phones

No worries, I'm not judging.
I am really good with PCs, Windows and Linux. Good with Android. But Apple devices? My daughter had to show me how to use my iPod.

It looks to be all good now. Thanks again very much.
What I don't understand is why a known good TWRP recovery from months ago didn't fix it, but an OS upgrade did. You'd think that both should work or not. Its' the same phone and a full backup from when it worked fine. Oh well. I'm just glad it did work.
X-Posed?
While I have you here. You don't happen to have a guide for installing X-Posed on this phone do you? I have the zip installed from TWRP, but when I go to install the APK from within the OS I get what you see in this screen and the guy who's guide I was following doesn't respond. It occurred to me that koop1955 might know. Thanks. Even if you don't.

Hey all,
I have tried searching, but cannot find anything. I followed the Hydra rom install from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/rom-hydra-rom-v1-0-t3447611
Did the ODIN BL and Cp install, also did the TWRP install. Did the Hydra install through TWRP. Since tthe first reboot all I get is a Verification failed error and a pop up saying "unfortunately System UI has stopped".
I booted back into TWRP and did a wipe, but a reboot still does the error. Is there a way to fix this?

Ok. I fixed it. Needed to do a file restore in TWRP. Reinstalled Hydra. Now working like a charm. Wohoo. 1 working note 7. Now for the other.
All works except for the phone. Cannot connect to a network. In settings it is setup to detect automatically, and I do a search for net work operators and my operator comes up. When I select them it says 'unable to connect. Try later'.
Is there something I need to try?
Cheers

In Australia. I read that the carrier for the phone disabled the phones. I guess its only good as a tablet now. What a shame. Is there anything that can be done?
Guess I I'll put the Hydra on the S7 edge replacement i have.

It will maybe some inconvenient but you could carry a second phone with you, setting up a wireless hotspot and connect to this hotspot with your Note. Then you can use a voip service like skype. It's possible to buy a phone number from them and to make a call redirection from your second phone to your skype on the note. Depending on your plan you may or may not have additional costs for this. With a full falt rate it should be free of charge. So all incoming calls will come to your note, and for outgoing you can use skype. There are similar solutions for text messages.

You could try renaming everything in your build.prop ...SM-N930.... to ...SM-G935.... (Note7 to 7edge). restart the phone and it might work again. like mine does with the Gear VR.
Pre-Rooted, Optimized, Stock ROM
This thread contains stock firmware for the Fire HD 10 SUEZ, which has been pre-rooted and optimized. Please see the respective section for your FireOS version. Later FireOS versions ARE supported, but I am going to need a few days. Downgrading from a newer version of FireOS is NOT recommended and can potentially damage your device. This ROM has NOT been 'de-bloated'. By installing this ROM, you do so at your own risk. Results may not always be the same.
****THIS GUIDE REQUIRES AN UNLOCKED DEVICE WITH TWRP.****
Features:
- Zipaligned - All system and framework apks have been zipaligned.
- Deodexed - The whole system has been successfully deodexed. Among many things, this makes uninstalling system apps easier and greatly lowers the risk of a bootloop, though not promised. It also saves a little bit of space in the system when uninstalling system apps.
- No OTA - Never worry about an accidental Over The Air Update. Both APKs have been removed. You can sign into your network the very first boot.
- Pre-rooted. - Magisk, by XDA member and developer @topjohnwu, is stepping up to the plate this time. The ROM is pre-rooted with the latest stable version 18.1. SuperSU cannot be flashed on this tablet. Doing so will result in an endless display of the beautiful orange fire logo. It is possible to manually root the ROM with SuperSU, but I will need to do a lot of testing. If you prefer SuperSU, this ROM is not for you and you will have to root using one of the several guides available in this forum.
- Busybox - Contains the latest busybox by XDA member and developer @osm0sis.
If it were not for the tool, SuperR's Kitchen, this ROM, and hopefully others, wouldn't be possible. I have trouble linking his username here, but if someone can direct superR to this thread so he can see the endless thanks I give to him for creating this amazing tool.
These ROMS do NOT contain any of my tricks or hacks. They're simply pre rooted ROMS in case you need to return back to stock FireOS. No apps have been removed except the above mentioned and none have been added, except the above mentioned.
Downloads:
- For HD 10 SUEZ on 5.6.1.0: 5.6.1.0_Fire_HD_10_optimized_pre_rooted_stock_rom-signed.zip
- For HD 10 SUEZ on 5.6.2.0: 5.6.2.0_Fire_HD_10_optimized_pre_rooted_stock_rom-signed.zip
Installation:
1. Download the ROM then plug your tablet into the PC and place the zip on your internal storage.
2. BACKUP ALL VALUABLE DATA. YOU WILL BE ERASING THE SYSTEM AND DATA. Reboot to TWRP (recovery), tap wipe and select dalvik, cache, system and data ONLY and swipe to confirm. When finished tap the home button, reboot then recovery.
3. When back in recovery, tap install and select the ROM then swipe to confirm. When done, reboot and enjoy.

Is there any benefit to flashing this if I'm already rooted? I mean, "optimized" sounds nice, but my data.... lol
Anyone try this yet?
EDIT: Flashed and got a black screen at first, spooped me for a few seconds there, then showed the Amazon and (now currently) Fire logos. And now we wait for it to do its optimization.
To be clear: your instructions don't have any prerequisites of already being rooted or modded in any other way? So a person could do these steps on an unmodified HD 10 2017 Suez that is running 5.6.1.0?

I would think you would need to have TWRP installed, at least. The instructions do call for that.
Also, it appears to be working without at hitch. I'm inputting my WiFi password as I type this.
EDIT: I kept getting a DHCP error when connecting to my home hotspot, so I'm using my phone's hotspot instead. WiFi icon has an exclamation mark next to it, but internet seems to be working fine.
EDIT 2: Spoke too soon. Don't have internet. No matter what I do. Can't seem to connect properly. Every network I try just keeps saying "Obtaining IP address," never connects. Eventually throws the error, "IP Configuration Failure, IP configuration failed due to DHCP error."
EDIT 3: Phone hotspot is working, for now. Guess I'll stick with that until the router is fixed.

This is on a 2.4.ghz band that you are trying to connect to I'm assuming?
Edit: @DragonFire1024 thank you so much for your continued and dedicated work with these tablets! Can't wait to see what you can do when you really get down on making a ROM for this beast.

It most likely is. The router's SUPPOSED to output 5GHz as well, but someone f*cked it up and now it only does 2.4.

Do you know/are you able to find out what the channel width is set at? If it's set at 40 instead of 20 that could be why the phone hot spot works and the router doesn't.

Could be. I'll check and try the other setting. It's worked before this ROM, so I dunno if that's the cause...
EDIT: Nope, that wasn't it. Where's the f*cking WPS option on this tablet?! Thanks, Amazon!

Nothing works so far. I need to fix this damn router or replace it. I'm tired of AT&T and their sh*tty hardware and even sh*ttier service.
I'm having the same WiFi issue. Just gets stuck on obtaining IP address.

It appears that the tablet is not liking DHCP. If you configure a static IP address it connects fine and internet works.

I wonder...perhaps installing my framework and settings APK will fix this. Looks like I have a lot of tests tomorrow.

Wonder why it works (sometimes) with my phone hotspot? I'll try the static IP. That actually had crossed my mind, @tylerhole, but i didn't have time to try it before work.

In the "optimizing" you did for this ROM did any of it have to do with wifi?

if you're referring to what you have in this thread then it didn't work for me. i removed everything but the boot animation, framework stuff, and the settings apk. still getting wifi issue though.
Took a chance and tried this coming from the original 5.1.1 Fire OS (what I thought was 5.1.1, but now im not sure what version I had, read on)
Did the wipe as instructed and everything looked good during the flash but on reboot it looks like the 5.1.1 persisted somehow.
EDIT. getprop ro.build.version.release reports 5.1.1 but the system updates reports 5.6.1.0. I had blocked system updates just to make sure that was disabled but in doing so you cant get the version from the settings. So I'm good, except for the WIFI not working.

Ok I do know the kernel source contains the wifi drivers. I'm not at home to look, but I'm willing to bet $150 that the needed wifi firmware is not in the system partition. This is the last hurdle I believe and I think everything to this point are intentional blockades. If one can hunt down the system wifi drivers it shouldn't be an issue to include them in another build.

5.1.1 is the Android version not FireOS version which is 5.6.1.0.
