[ROM][N900T] Stock Lollipop 5.0 (N900TUVUFOB6) v1.1 - ROOT+DEODEX+ZIPALIGN+deKNOX

I know mastergrillo already has a thread similar to this, but I didn't see an option that had everything I wanted. I'm just sharing the version I made for myself in case anyone needs it. Flash at your own risk.
This is simply a stock Samsung Lollipop 5.0 rom (N900TUVUFOB6) for the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (N900T) that includes the following features:
Features:
Rooted (SuperSU and Busybox included)
KNOX removed (it will still trip KNOX 0x1, but it won't annoy you about a security issue)
Deodexed (makes the system easier to MOD and is currently required for installing the Xposed framework)
Zipaligned (optimizes apk alignment to reduce memory usage)
Rom based /etc/init.d script support (doesn't require a kernel with init.d support, but it will still work fine if your kernel does [scripts shouldn't get run twice])
Untouched stock Samsung kernel
It was not debloated because what's bloat to me may be useful to someone else and vice versa. You can easily debloat it yourself using Titanium Backup or a debloating script.
Nothing else was touched, and all T-Mobile based features like wifi calling work fine.
Issues:
No issues that I know of.
Installation instructions
Note: This rom does not include the lollipop bootloader or modem, so it's recommended to update both of those first if you haven't already.
Do a full backup
Flash with TWRP recovery (other custom recoveries may work, but it hasn't been tested)
Wipe dalvik cache, system, data, and cache partitions before installing. You probably don't have to wipe the data partition if you're coming from the original Samsung Lollipop 5.0 (this will preserve your apps and settings), but I haven't tested it.
May take 10 to 20 minutes for first boot (it will stay on the t-mobile logo for a while). Just be patient.
Stagefright vulnerability fix
There's a patch available to fix the stagefright vulnerabilities (credit goes to mastergrillo for this). The patch can be installed with TWRP immediately after installing the rom (you don't need to reboot first).
Other MODs that are compatible with this ROM (not included)
External sdcard write fix (allows apps to write to the external sdcard)
Android 6.0 Marshmallow boot animation (here's a video of what it looks like)
Xposed framework
Note: Xposed is still in alpha status for Lollipop, so some modules may still have issues.
First install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk (or newer) from here
And then flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip (or newer) from here using TWRP. The important parts of the filename that should stay the same are "sdk21" (for Lollipop 5.0.x) and "snapdragon" (for our chipset).
If you have any questions or issues with Xposed, please ask them in arter97's Xposed thread.

UPDATE: I seem to got be getting data after installation. I've installed twice. I cannot just say this is bogus, but I'm just sharing that I can't get data with this ROM in the OP.

@dirtybudha
The data service problem has been fixed in version 1.1 (OP updated with link).
The bug happened because I forgot to include the CSC files from the original Samsung rom. I didn't notice the bug because I manually flashed the CSC files after flashing the rom, which fixed the problem for me.
Anyways, I reflashed the new version myself using the flashing instructions in the OP to verify that it was corrected. It should work fine now.

..

Thanks! Will flash and report back.
Update: Data works! Bluetooth won't turn on. I'm sending a pm with a logcat.

Hey, I just tested bluetooth on my phone, but I can't replicate your problem. It's working fine for me. You may want to try clearing the caches if you haven't already. I did a full wipe (system, data, cache, and dalvik cache) when flashing version 1.1.
How did you flash version 1.1? Was it a clean install? Can you please tell me what you wiped? Have you tried this bluetooth device on the stock lollipop before?
If anyone else has tried bluetooth, please post your results.
Thanks

And can you please tell me the device you tried to pair with the phone, or would bluetooth just not turn on at all when you tried to enable it?
Edit:
btw.. are you running the lollipop bootloader and modem?

It was a clean install, wiped caches, data, system. I do this ever time i flag a ROM. I do have the bootloader and modem for Lollipop. I'm currently running stock Lollipop,and have been for a while.
I was trying to pair my Asus Zenwatch. Problem is that the Bluetooth Jay wouldn't turn on at all.
Let me try again. Could have been a bad a download or the moon wasn't in the right place last night.
Update: it was a bad download, apparently. Seems like everything is working so far.
About to backup everything and flash Xposed.
BOOM, shalakalaka

I've actually been looking for exactly this. Being that it is bone stock is it safe to assume that Wifi calling and everything else works?

If you read through the OP you will see that this ROM is almost entirely stock for the T-Mobile Note 3. That means WiFi Calling works. I just turned it on and everything is in order.

Xposed took some thinking, all anyone needs to do is flash the Alpha 4 file. So far it shows that it is up and running. Although my multi window manager wasn't able to work, it may not be compatible with lollipop. I'll have to go through and test some of the apps later. I just left the FC Dallas soccer game and I'm headed home to watch the Dallas Cowboys play.
Great work! I, as well as the community, appreciate your contribution.

I believe you also have to install arter97's xposed-v71-sdk21-arm-arter97-V6-snapdragon.zip in order for xposed to work properly on Samsung roms.

I thought that was already done? What was done to make this ROM Xposed ready?

Nothing was done except deodexing it, which is what is needed for arter97's xposed files to work. When I mentioned that you'd still need to install arter97's stuff, I thought that would be clear (but I may have added that after you downloaded it).
I didn't want to include arter97's xposed files in case some people didn't want it, it's still in alpha status stability wise and gets updated often, and it can also easily be added by flashing arter97's latest file. I simply mentioned xposed ready, so people would know that it could be installed.
I've updated the OP to make it clearer.

Touche.
Well it worked great!

First Off About Me:
First off, Let me state, I'm a full-time construction worker and also a full-time Dad. I'm not a Dev, like the peeps I learned from. So don't expect this Rom to get massive updates or often updates.

Thank You for your understanding, and Enjoy!

Thank you for taking time from your schedule in real life to contribute to the xda and for keeping note 4 THE best phone available to date . I was just wondering if you would know how to fix the root switch barrier i have come accross when trying to load pokemon app , when i was on stock pk1 odexed i used root switch app to disable root and i played the game fine using flygps with this build and being deodexed when i try to do the same it fails , first the gps says cannot be found thats because im using mock location app and second pokemon app itself tells me it cannot authenticate the account im guessing cause it cannot pass the safety net test, so my question is ...is it a easy fix or is it something that would take weeks of work if it is dont even bother buddy ill just roll back to my backup its no biggie but if its easy i'd like to keep this build and have the pokemon working thanks.

But No I wouldn't have a clue about that. I'm not quite that talented yet. Ive just started learning some of the more technical stuff about modding.
If you do find out the possible fix, I'd be more than happy to incorporate it into the rom!
Thanks!
Edit: I'm just taking a stab in the dark here, but since we're dealing with root. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with su.d or system less root or dmverity.
What exact rom were you on when it worked?
I'm not home right now, but try extracting the stock kernel from the qb3 firmware.
Flash it then flash Super su again.
Then try the root switch.
Let me know if that does anything?

I managed to put together a fix to try. I'm just quessing but this will let me rule out if its related to the kernel.
Its stock PK1 Kernel (all i have on phone right now).
Download it,
Uninstall the Root switch app.
Flash the kernel zip. Reboot!
Then install Root switch.
Let me know if it works. :fingers-crossed:

You are running stock kernel right?
And also, you are NOT running xposed?
This is the only way i know to get Safetynet green.
The dev from Magisk is working real hard to let us keep root on for Safetynet Passing, but on the xposed side we still have that big problem.

[ROM] TeleNougat V4.5

TeleNougat V4.5 for Sprint
@tdunham managed to get the stock deodexed Nougat rom which is based on the Sprint QC5 7.0 Nougat Note 5. I have everything tweaked in this rom specifically for the s6+ Sprint users.
"Features:
- Pre-Rooted with Magisk
- Hotspot enabled
- Knox Removed
- ItsOn Removed
- Extra Toggles added
- MSL disabled in ##DATA menu"
- S8 Apps:
Calculator/Calendar/Camera/Clock/Contacts/DownloadUi/Email/Galaxyapps/Gallery/Launcher feat. Hello Bixby/Lockscreen/Phone/SamsungInterent/Messages/Music/MyFiles/Phone/Video/Voicerecorder
Known Issues
1. language settings inside of Language and Input fc. (the issue is in systemui if someone wants to play around with it, may not get fixed anytime soon since no one really changes it from english anyway.
2. Hello Bixby app (uncheck video to not get a fc)
3. Night Clock and AOD doesnt work (due to kerne)
ROM INFO
Since this is stock based, everything Sprint related works. (prl, profile update, wifi calling, voicemail)
Personally prefer you to be on QC5 everything first (check general section in you need help odin to Nougat stock.)
Fresh wiped phone is always preferred before installing roms.
Flashing tutorial if needed:
1. Grab a cold one. (Key step)
2. Boot into twrp and WIPE SYSTEM, dalvik cache, cache in TWRP before flashing
3. Flash rom
4. Reboot
*dont forget that Android 7.0 is API 24 which means XPOSED will not work, there isn't an unofficial or official build for it yet.*
Rom Links:
V2 TeleNougat_V2Final4/20

Everything is working great. I dirty flashed, though, being on QC5 already is why I did. Saved time from setting everything back up again.

Glad to hear, yea if you are already on nougat, i usually only wipe /system in twrp since im flashing another system that way all my settings still there and its a lil cleanier to me. But lemme know how battery life is after a day or 2.

your file only 137 kb

your file only 137 kb， i can not download your file in china ,can you upload it to mega or google drive

@bihailantian655
They are both on mediafire. They are 1.65GB and 70mb for the addon
Others have it downloaded already (the links are good, i just rechecked them) , try refreshing? Or redownloading.

thank very much. testing

l have tried two different pc and two vpn. :crying:137kb :crying:

Just Curious?
Do you think there's a possibility of something like this being ported over to the standard galaxy s6 (SM-G920P). I just happened to stumble upon this while doing some google searches.

even i have flashed the 70m file still .can not use data and shealth

I doubt it, though you could try, ive never messed with s6 Devices 920P.

Question to OP or anyone who would like to give feedback: If I Backup my Stock-Rooted(SU) in TWRP, then decided to use this ROM, and then also Backup this Rom. Should there be any issues on going back and fourth between the 2? Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give me feedback on this!

Yes, if you install twrp without rooting with the Magisk-v12.0 zip. Stock recovery will replace twrp recovery at least it did for me. If you try to install this Rom without root in twrp I believe your get a not rooted error. You could try it? And also that Rom is prerooted FYI.

Is there a way to add Avatar for sent messages? I tried frash install and still no luck
Great Rom, Thank you!

I flashed the ROM and everything is working great, but how do I get rid of Sprint Hands Free Activation in the installed GT Idoneapps.
When I click on Samsung DM Manager all I get is :" idoneapps is granted super user rights. No permissions to enter OMADM Hidden menu"
Thanks Again .......great rom

what are you trying to do exactly?
Maybe that will help me. I clicked it and it said the same for me

So far so good. Is there any way to disable the data usage stats on pull down? I have unlimited and don't need it. It will just bug me. Thanks a bunch
EDIT: I figured this one out myself. I am including the change in case anyone else wants the data stats removed from quick settings.
1) use ES File explorer or another root explorer.
2) copy others.Xml from "system/ csc"
3) change permissions (not sure if needed but just to be safe)
4) edit others.xml. Near bottom are the new entries for mod and I just changed <CscFeature_SystemUI_SupportDataUsageViewOnQuickPanel>FALSE</CscFeature_SystemUI_SupportDataUsageViewOnQuickPanel>. Was originally true.
5) copy over the existing file
6) reboot
7) profit.
Thanks for Rom. can't wait to get it just the way I want.

The Rom hasn't had a battery drain impact in anyway for me. Thanks again it's running buttery smooth.

Stock Rom T835 [ARK4] DeKnoxed

hello,
I made this TWRP flashable zip from December ARK4 Samsung firmware, using SuperRKitchen. It's deKnoxed and untouched apart from the lightest of debloated apps. Everything else is untouched and as per Samsung firmware. No root is included or any other mods or additions. I made this for myself, but offer it here for any interested parties. I'm not a dev, script warrior or ROM master. Just a guy with a T835. I was already on ARK4, but I include the ARK4 vendor image if you need to flash in twrp. It's v4 as it took me 3 attempts to make it! You just need to flash Magisk and/or Modesty Kernel if you want.
ROM - https://drive.google.com/open?id=14CokHkIahzI_Rk3OR2TgErqy8bgVF9br
ARK4 Vendor image: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dgV-KDBZw7EeCnWcHozR-vx4oKdNG7Ee
Modesty Kernel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/kernel-modesty-0-99-4-t3856088
Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

I don't get my tab s4 until tomorrow, but I'd like to thank you for making this. I know I'll end up using this when I inevitably screw up using one of the roots or debloats.

I'm not sure - but would think it doesn't. You can try though, just back up before you do and restore if not
To flash ROM you'll need TWRP installed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1-galaxy-tab-s4-t3843211.
Once TWRP is installed and working, wipe system, data etc
Then flash the ROM zip
Flash kernel & Magisk if you require

Thank you OP! Can you please help me understand, what does deknoxed mean? I know Knox is Samsung security, but what would deknoxed be? Less bloat or some functional advantage?

Removing the knox app that may inhibit root manger or interfering with system apps. It

Thank you for your efforts. Having rooted I had a rigmarole to go thru to apply this update. It was so easy, just flashed with TWRP and I still had root, TWRP, and all my apps data and settings.
I hope that you will do the same for further firmware updates as they come out.
Again thanks for your efforts!

Are you doing Pie version as well?
THanks

Sure, as soon as the sammobile site as th UK firmware I'll dig one out

There is one for Hong Kong and one Unknown. Are you able to provide some basic instructions on how to brew the custom firmware please?
Thanks

All links are not working. Does anybody have mirror on this ROM or another ROM based on Android 8 for TWRP?

Which Roms can be installed with QI15 firmware

I have purchased yet another note 4 for the grandson. His firmware is QI15. Original plan was for me to use it, but since my Pixel 3a XL is still yet a lease I might as well use it. Plus it is a lot faster anyway.. His mother does not have the money to buy one for him, so I figured what the hell, he can have it.Which roms can he use.. I no longer have mine, but will root this if it is still possible.. From reading you can't downgrade from MM to LL. But can you downgrade to a earlier version of MM? Thanks.

inYes, that is correct but also cant downgrade the bootloader/modem. That is because of fused 5, binary 4. and te old official stock 5DQ15 .tar md5 can be fashed via Odin. Any other stock firmware below that has a fused 4 and flashing will result in a bricked device.
If your already on 5DQ15 and wish to flash customer roms then use TWRP and make a back up of all partitions to external sd. The any custom rom for Sprint Note 4 (sm-n910p) on Marshmallow are/should compatible. Basically, follow the instructions provided by the rom developer but do not flash a different bootloader or modem. Other than that follow all other institution. For best results, start in setting , sustem update and turm of automatic updates then update PRL and Profile beforehand. Developer Option and usb debugging enabled.
Rooting the Sprint Note 4 on 5DQ15 still possible? Yes 100% SuperSu or Magisk are the preferred root methods.

Also recommend you start with a stock deodexed rom as a base before flashing other custom roms. Rom only

or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-t3568075
then reboot and give it time to properly set up set up. Check if hotspot is visible setting and check your apn settings. If all looks good and it should the return to TWRP and once again make a back up and rename (2019-10-05-deodexStockNoroot.....) so not to be mistaken with any other backups. After that flash root .zip and/or a custum rom of you choice.
I use the BeastMod r61 kernel by Freeza on a N4 Dtux V9 Legend rom. Fixed issues with network connection.

I 100% agree that not being able to downgrade sucks big time. I hear all the hipe about new Android OS updates but there are advantages of older versions. In 2018, I searched for a replacement with a lower bootloader but simply couldn't find one. Knowing that peope were bricking there device and Odin fails I decided to get one in fair condition. Being the type to mod and flash yet unsure of what ir how to do that as custom roms are specific to bootloader and modem. I figured, I'll practice with a cheap on incase I hard brick. At the time there didnt seem to be specific information on what rom worked with 5DQ15. I started out with Stockist Plus tidbits Q15. My old Note 4 was on [MOAR v2.1] [ULTIMATE Note5 Hybrid] on lollipop 5.1.1. and had lost of customizations prebuild. So going from the Mother Of All Roms (MOAR) on lollipop to Stockish Q15 on marshmallow, just sucked. It didnt take long before I started taking calculated risks with flashing and porting, even from other models and variations. Stepping out side the box but within boundaries. For instance, the n910f is an international version but much of its software is compatible with the n910p. For instance, this one works on n910p with most stockish roms on Sprint Note 4. With Custum roms it may conflict depending on the setting. If stockish rom or custom rom come with a "rom control"app (interface) and .zip in the link bellow come with "rom control" app thin it is not compatible. One cool feature is it adds "multiple user" in setting.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/utility-rom-control-note-4-stock-roms-t3586944
These n910f worked for me and has the advantage of separate .zips moding specific parts but warn that one of these .zip in the link , I believe its the "settings theme" .zip when flashed removes "hotspot" from the settings. Just 6.0mm zips are compatible on dq15 n010p.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/theme-customize-galaxy-note-4-n910f-t3017621
The GRX is one of my favorites for stockish roms. It can be compatible with custom roms but its a complicated process. Im guessing it should work with the N7 hybrid rom. Its relatively easy and offers nice smooth customizations. Its a good idea to chech the setting of both settem and "setting GRX" as to avoid conflict. If you find it on XDA even better. For me, I find it to be the best thing on 6.0mm.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/androidfit.com/grx-touchwiz-mod-v8-apk-for-any-samsung/amp
And the PK1 hotspot mod will work as long as the hotspot is in the main settings.

Good luck to you and your grandson rooting and moding.

If you install Busybox with the N7 hybrid kernel I offer a suggestion.

Busybox by Stephen (Stericson)

I never installed the Dr. Ketan rom but I did look at the Touchwiz launcher provided in the .zip and it is a MM. Dont know why you got FC's . Most likely its our latest firmware that to blame.

Wish I could remember what it was I flashed to get that in my settings as I think I remember you wanted that feature.
