[Q] p607t Are any of these lte roms compatible?

I have a tmo note 10.1 2014. Are any of these lte roms compatible at all??

Why yes they are I'm running xKat 5.0, SE permissive stock kernel, and TWRP (and have been since the night I got that tablet a week or so ago). SO glad that T-Mobile is carrying this hardware, AND that they're generally cool with rooting / modding etc. I even told the guy at the Tmo store my "policy" that I WILL NOT buy (well, much more trade in this case :good: ) any device that has arbitrary restrictions preventing me from gaining root (i.e. the ability to administer my own device.) He was ridiculously cool... even told me he was pretty sure it was cool if I flashed custom firmware on my new completely gratis "cellspot" router if I restored it to stock before I returned it (or likely will end up buying). SO glad Tmo is making all of these pro-consumer moves... and also that it seems to be working out for them so well (not to mention, their customers)!

I've read some of your posts around here. You mention removing a few files before flashing. Did you? If so, can share with me what/how you did?

No, I didn't... as you've probably noticed, info re: the entire process of root, recovery, custom ROM is kind of spread out around the forum. I thought that might be necessary because I recalled reading something about having to do that to flash a p605 ROM on a p607t (might have pertained to a specific ROM or something), but I asked specifically in the xKat thread to make sure and found it (well, first by just trying it - then took a look at the thread mid flash and saw that someone had responded :good that the xKat zip can be flashed as-is. Select any options you'd like in the Aroma installer and you're good to go! (You do need to flash an additional file after at least one reboot - otherwise you'll need to enter your wifi pass after each reboot... it's the OP of the ROM thread).
I can only say for certain that xKat w/ SE permissive kernel works great on the 607t... I think any p605 ROM can actually just be flashed without modification (hopefully someone will chime in and correct me if that isn't true - I think the info about modifying zips was just speculation, but was found not to actually be the case). Just make sure to make a nandroid of the stock ROM before flashing
How are you liking the new tablet? Loving it here! I hope now the T-mobile is selling it (by far the best of their Android tablets), this device will gain back some popularity that it lost from the TabPro release a few months later. Perhaps the forum will liven up a bit

I absolutely love this tablet. Im coming from a Nexus 10 and although they share the same screen resolution, this one is much faster, sleeker, brighter, and I'm loving the S pen. I had it rooted ten minutes after i brought it home. I've also recovered from a soft brick after having flashed the wrong twrp. Woops! Ive been dying to try different rom on this bad boy, hence all the questions for you. I'm gonna give xkat a go here. I'll report back to you with my results!

Nice man! Feel free to PM me if you get stuck anywhere along the way
BTW: Something I just learned, even if you select the SE permissive kernel, your kernel will be enforcing unless you manually change it, either via terminal or that SElinux Changer app (forgot exactly what it's called). I had been confused re: why in "About device" it said that the kernel was SE enforcing even though I installed the permissive one. Just FYI

Does spen work on xkat anybody revert successfully and gain the function back?

Hi, I have this tablet as well I've been on this build ne2 since I got it, & rooted it with towelroot but can't for some reason update I trying to update to the latest version that cam yesterday ota but it keeps failing can u help me please pm me

Noob with 5.1.1, but would prefer 4.4.4 if possible

Ok, I'll start off by saying that I have searched around, but haven't been able to find a definitive and up-to-date answer. Either that, or I just didn't understand an answer because I know almost nothing about any of the technical jargon.
Here's my problem. I just got a new Sprint Note 4 and it unfortunately came with 5.1.1 already loaded, so I didn't have a choice. I've seen the difference between Lollipop and Kitkat (and read numerous complaints), so I know that I would definitely prefer to be running Kitkat. And if there's any way to downgrade for 4.4.4, I'd like to do it now while the phone is new so I wouldn't have to worry about backing up a lot of data.
Useful information: the phone is an SM-N910P and is on N910PVPU4COG5, which I believe is the latest version.
Is there currently any known method--non-root, rooting, flashing, going to 5.0 and then to 4.4.4, etc.--to downgrade a Sprint Note 4 on COG5 to Kitkat? And if so, where does a laymen like myself start?
Thanks a lot.

+1 Way too many risks trying to downgrade. There was a way mentioned to flash any Lollipop ROM but I doubt it applies to KitKat.
Give Lollipop 5.1.1/OG5 a chance. It's got some security and bug fixes the other stock versions and ports don't have. There's even some ports like themes and Screen Off Memo that work with it. And Xposed works as well.
Development is coming along. Read the thread on Sacs Note 5 port for fixes fixes posted in the last 2 or 3 days for that ROM. (HINT: Before flashing, go into the zip archive to delete the test files in /system/etc/init.d and pull the build.prop and look for dpi and set it at 640 and replace it). That will get you started with a good custom ROM that should only get better going forward. I can't recall but I think was still yet another another fix posted in that thread.
Stock OG5 with Beastmode kernel is no slouch if you can get it setup to counter the issues from applying just root.

In that case, I highly recommend Hybrid X 3.0
The stock ROMs require a little attention. If you want to go with stock, I can send you a carbon copy of a PM I just sent to another user.

Safe ROMs for unlocked boot loader?

I understand there are no safe MM ROMs once the boot loader is unlocked.
Other than that, can we install any of the ROMs for DE devices without worry?

"Safe ROM?" I'm not sure I follow your question.
I would not take the recently released Marshmallow OTA. It will relock your bootloader. And while you might be able to roll back to 5.1.1 and re-root, for me it's simply not worth the hassle. The .tar files developers need to make a Marshmallow ROM for our Verizon phones should be out any day. Give the wizards a week or so after that to whip up their magic. That's one option.
Another option would be to amble on over to the generic Note 4 forum, where there is a healthier ROM development environment. Many of these ROMs will work with your 5.1.1 bootloader and modem. The basic drill for making one of these ROMs work is to ignore the directions for flashing updated bootloaders and modems, flash the basic ROM and any fixes, then apply one of louforgiveno's data fixes. Stick with ROMs developed for N910F/G models.
My personal Marshmallow favorite... it's the only ROM I've tried other than CM13... is Dr. Ketan's. It has elements of both the Note 5 and S7. Does it have all of the newest goodies of the OTA such as Wifi calling? Nah. Since I don't really need it, I don't miss it. But everything I need for it to work does. Your mileage may vary.
Happy ROMing!

If your question is "can I install any of the ROMs meant for a DE on my retail Note 4" the answer is yes. I've tried PaulPizz, CM13, Kyubi, and Dr. Ketan and got them all to work on my phone. You just need to make sure you download all of the proper files and thank the devs. If any MM ROMs do come they will be listed in the "Android Development Section" along with all of the other ROMs that work on this device (retail or DE).

I'm pretty sure what the OP means is that for all those like me who have the Retail SM-N910V, it would be nice to compile a list of all working ROMs for our phones and what methods of installation were used. You have your ROMs that were installed via Odin and ROMs that were installed via TWRP. I'm not sure what the difference is, other than with TWRP you can install more than one ROM, right? Additionally, we want to make sure we're all using the correct files, that is, at least avoid the ones from Verizon that will probably re-lock our phones.

Follow the link to the generic Note 4 forum. Go to the Snapdragon subforum. Pick a ROM. Do not flash the bootloader or modem if the instructions say to. Just flash the ROM and any fixes. Go to louforgiveno's thread with the data fixes. Pick the appropriate fix and flash. The Nameless ROM at quick glance looks like a fairly unmodified Marshmallow TouchWiz ROM. Most of the others are ports, mostly Note 5 and S7 marriages.

If you dabble in this ROM flashing game long enough, you'll find that often not everything works as it should. Flashing doesn't go as smoothly as we'd like, and sometimes some of the features don't work properly or at all. Forced closes and random reboots are also part of the frustrations.
It all works out to a risk/benefit analysis. Will I be happier with my phone being able to customize it further? Will the new features gained outweigh the features lost? On the Dr Ketan's ROM that I'm using, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work properly. I don't miss it since I wasn't happy with the way it worked originally. I've had his ROM on my phone for over a week with the only hiccups being self induced. Recovering my backup makes everything all new and shiny again.

Which version did you flash for Dr. Ketan rom? I am on cm 13 now would like to try dr. ketan, i am a little bit unsure on the exact directions for the 910v from what I have read though as long as don't flash any bootloader files and apply the data fix I should be fine I can always flash back. Question is do i use F or G download for the rom, and what specific order do i have to flash the rom, h-vitamin, and data fix? any help would be appreciated.

So long as you're still on the 5.1.1 bootloader, you can use any version of Dr Ketan's ROMs. I was using the M5 version. I haven't tried this ROM or any of the other Snapdragon variants since I upgraded to the 6.0.1 bootloader. From what I've read people have not been able to get data and wifi to work.
The drill to install Dr Ketan's ROMs is to backup your working setup using recovery, wipe Dalvik/ART, cache, system, and data, flash the ROM, the M5 fix, boot into the ROM but don't sign in to Google or Samsung. Go back to recovery and flash louforgiveno's M3 data fix. (I haven't checked into his thread lately and he may have a fix for M5. Dr Ketan rolled back his base which is why the M4 fix doesn't work.) Boot into the ROM, sign in to Google/Samsung as needed and profit.
Note: I didn't see any provision for HD/wifi calling in Dr Ketan's ROM which seems to be important to a lot of people. I also haven't been to the thread in about a week to see if there's a M6.

Hope you can work it out. I tried every data fix and kernel in every conceivable combination, and nothing worked. I asked louforgiveno if he'd look into it, and he responded he'd have to swap in all the 6.0 stuff into a new data fix for us, so I hope that meant yes! He has been so helpful to all the different note 4 variants.

yes i hope so to, i am sure louforgiveno will get around to it when he can, the guy is great his data fixes are so awesome i assume he gets hammered with requests so I as I would love to have one now I will wait and when he gets one out great. The dr. ketan's is awesome and would love to use as my daily driver. On a side note I have tried a couple and keep coming back to Paulpizz with xposed, smooth, fast, reliable a great rom.

Galaxy Note 4 6.0.1 Hotspot Mod?

My note 4 is rooted
model number SN-N910P
Stock ROM
I have been searching for a few hours with no results I felt confident with. I have been searching for a mod or custom ROM that allows WiFi tethering that the carrier cant detect and phone call recording similar to what I had on my S4. I am willing to downgrade lose all my data the ROMS I found are for android version 5.*.* any guidance would be helpful. even if its a paid service

Custom ROMs typically have that standard but the tx_dbs_tx stock ROMs have it as an optional recovery flash in post # 2.
You may have to downgrade if not on the update the ROMs you find match yours. Just follow the OP.

Well I ended up with an endless boot screen last night after installing a module So I need to start fresh with a new ROM I suppose

There's a new debloated deodexed 6.0.1 ROM with Hotspot based off the latest PG1 update in the dev section made by Saintz93. Check it out. As for call recording, there are a few Xposed modules which will add it such as Xtouchwiz and firefds

If you root gtidoneapps will give you hotspot on any Samsung. It's a pretty cool app. It will also open all toggles. They have it in here under development.

The best way to start fresh is to get the latest firmware from sammobile. Odin back to stock let the rom setup then install TWRP. Leave it read only until you make a nandroid then you can restore back to stock whenever things go south. I like the idoneapp for the hotspot.

Flashing PaulPizzRom on N910V Developer Edition

Hello,
I'm currently running JasmineROM (v3.1-LRX22C.N910VVRU2BOG5; based on Android 5.0.1) on my Note4 Developer Edition ("SMN910VZKE" and "Developer Device" under battery) with TWRP (v2.8.7.0) recovery.
I'd like to update to a ROM with Android 6.0.1, and have read good things here about the PaulPizzRom [1] (and the Oscar kernel [2]).
I've backed up my partitions to a separate microSD card using dd, Nandroid, and TWRP.
Is it safe for me to flash (some version of?) "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" [2] and still keep my (aboot to keep my?) Developer Version and not have it turn into Retail? -or will flashing "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" [2] turn my Developer Edition Note4 into a Retail version?
Also, if I am able to flash a Marshmallow ROM to my Note4 Developer Edition, do I still need to flash a Marshmallow bootloader and modem [3] separately (as mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/repeat-questions-rom-threads-t3422678 ) ?
Thanks for any advice anyone might have!

The difference between retail and dev editions is the CID. I have converted my retail into a dev so that I can unlock the bootloader. Upgrade to latest firmware, unlock botloader, install TWRP, and you're good to go. Paul Pizz is a great rom. It's my daily driver.

woah meow.....
the dev edition has a known screen flicker bug that needs to be considered that isn't applicable to the ret/dev . with the dev edition you will require multisystem kernel to correct flicker. kinda backassward .....actual dev edition isn't as nice as the retail for development.

Is a multisystem-capable kernel specifically required, or is the issue just that the stock kernel has the flicker issue, and an alternate kernel (w/out the same flicker issue) is required to resolve it?
e.g. I've heard good things about the Oscar Kernel [1] here, would flashing that also be sufficient to resolve the flicker issue you mention (on Note4 Developer Edition, SM-N910VMKEVZW) after upgrading to "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" (Marshmallow 6.0.1), even though the Oscar Kernel doesn't appear to be a multisystem kernel?
If the Oscar Kernel won't fix that Note4 Developer Edition screen flicker issue (haven't experienced it myself, still trying to figure out the exact steps before trying to upgrade), what multisystem kernel would everyone suggest?

Unfortunately multi system is required. The issue occurs on anything other than stock and multi system. On the upside the dev responsible for mulltusystem is a recognized emotroid team member . I run it even though I have other options best battery experience ever

Aah.. good to know. That'll save me a bunch of headaches!
There seem to be a lot of multisystem kernels out there, mind sharing a link / post where I can find the one that you (or anyone else?) might suggest for my Note 4 Developer Edition that I'm planning on flashing "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" on?
Thanks!

The last 3 symbols of the firmware in your case pj2 (I don't believe the r.1 is necessary along with intended android os version with kernel name....yikes you know what . hsbrad has a dev profile on XDA I believe it either contains or links you to the kernel and its various versions my bad about umpteen things he's posted you have to look through.....it should be under original android development in sm 910v forum section but I don't know if he still updates those now that he linked to emotroid he might be just posting in there android file host depot

If you want and are gonna be using 6.0.1 ROM or above I'll make an IMG of mine via flashify and away you go .....probably should go ahead and clarify that is called multi system because it is intended to be universally compatible between both touchwiz and aosp base as well as between both retail and dev edition though it was originally created tobfix screen flicker bug and clear selinux warning at boot when upgrading it now has become the stock permissive kernel for our device . it is from his most recent emotion build 3/20/17 . if I was you I would use the recovery option in flashify to install sorry I'm not by a computer best I can do ATM would be kernel img

I found this post by hsbadr for a Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow kernel and modem, but it's based off CPF3 (MMB29M.N910VVRU2CPF3) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...nerom-v1-0-t3113771/post67468659#post67468659
Anyone know where I can find hsbadr's multisystem kernel for Note4 DE based on CPJ2 ? -or will that (hsbadr's CPF3 multisystem kernel) work on Note4 DE with "PaulPizzRom.VRU2CPJ2.r-1" ?

re: multisystem: makes sense.
re: your flashify img: while I do appreciate the offer, and I'm eternally grateful for the info and guidance: I've got enough of a foil-hat to prefer to try to find a ROM & kernel that's directly from the maintainer and identical to what many others are starting with.
Thanks for the help!

No worries man . this device in my opinion is the last of a long line of kings that came from Verizon. The note5 didn't impress and I can't stand the edge (yuck) . I had the dev edition but let it go cause by the specs this phone was really just a lil nicer note 3 . a year ago I got the retail secondhand and fell in love . in application this bad boy is so much smoother than its predecessor which again says a lot. There was literally nothing better than the 3 when it hit but I think this one stayed relevant longer. If u can get the blasted battery life under control its fantastic . its the one real flaw with the galaxy s series .....battery is dead way too fast

firmware ?
