The lens cover of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is not made of sapphire, so it EASILY breaks! This happened to my Note 4 (Duos version) and I ended up taking out the whole camera module so I can see the 16MegaPixel sensor. Ended up filming it so if you are interested in seeing it look at the video...

I am glad you guys chimed in. Apparently, the new Galaxy Note 4 changed the procedure for Odin. All newer Galaxy series phones (including Note and regular S series) now have two modes: Download Mode and Android System Recovery Mode. This is the Download Mode (Odin): p-zvwUS6as4 This is the...

If I understand correctly, there are actually 3 things that needs to be done. 1) Note 4 needs to be rooted 2) CWM recovery needs to be installed 3) Gapps needs to be flashed. So what do I use to get each part above done? 1) Odin? 2) Odin? 3) Booting in CWM? I need to know if I just need to...

I think these instructions are outdated for Samsung Galaxy Note 4. On the N9100 model, pressing "Volume UP", "Home", and "Power" at the same time leads to the Android System Recovery (which allows ADB and external flash install, but pressing "Volume Down", "Home", and "Power" leads to Samsung...

Are these instruction outdated for Samsung Galaxy Note 4? There is a Download mode by pressing "Volume DOWN","Home", and "Power". The instructions says "Volume UP", which leads to Android System Recovery (tested on N9100 model). So which should it be? "Volume up" or "Volume Down"?

How do you install this recovery? Do you use Odin/Heimdall? Or do you use ADB/external flash update? If Odin, simple instructions please?

OK, lets say I can't use Odin (Windows) or Heimdall (Mac) via Samsung Galaxy Note 4's Download mode because no Google gms stuff have been packaged in Odin format (is that right?). Then that means I would need to use recovery mode to flash Google gms. OK, here is the part I don't understand. If I...

Need CWM for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (China model: N9100). This model is unique in that it has Dual-SIM (Duos). Is there a CWM for it released yet? If yes, please post. Also, as a separate question, are there any CWM that can be installed via Samsung Download mode rather than booting into recovery?

Is there a CWM Recovery for N9100? (China model)

How do you install CWM Recovery on N9100? There is no clockwork mod for N9100 released yet? I only saw CWM for N9106w or something like that. Also, why do you need CWM? Why can't you use Samsung Download mode?

Note that I am using the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (China Carrier free version) N9100. In Settings->Accounts->Add account, there is no option for Google. The first item is Samsung account. The rest are not Google specific. Does this mean I need to root? Or install other stuff besides this apk in...

Installing Google Play on China Note 4 (N9100) Hello. I just got the China version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100). It doesn't come with a Google Play store. How do I go about installing the Google Play Store? I downloaded the 5.0.32 version apk of Google Play store, and I installed it. But...

Come on. You are confusing things now. Unlocking bootloader is essentially getting root permission to write to the boot recovery and rom image. The reason you are asked to go to htc to unlock is because they are essentially giving you root permission to write to those three areas of flash via...
