I have decided to create this thread due to extraordinary success of my unofficial builds that I recently put in this thread :cool:

Main properties:

- PC Odin flashable (*.tar.md5 file)
- pure stock, NOT rooted, the only change is replaced CSC pack (unbranded multi CSC OXA package instead of original)
- contains CSC: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO
- can be flashed on ANY N910F without a pit file
- it will NOT trip KNOX if you still have 0x0 :D


Downloads:

>> N910FXXU1COH4_N910FOXA1BOC3_alexndr.7z << (Android 5.1.1)

>> N910FXXU1POI4_N910FOXA1BOC3_alexndr.7z << (Android 5.0.1)

>> Recent unofficial builds for SM-N910F <<


Important notes:

- I do not have much time to expand this thread, so only multi CSC OXA builds will be available here
- I am not able to fix any bugs as all builds contains only ORIGINAL, unmodified partition images (to let you keep KNOX 0x0)
- Unofficial builds means => no OTA updates available (to restore OTA updates you just need to fash OFFICIAL firmware from Sammobile)
- In theory it is not possible to brick your phone or trip KNOX using these builds, but I have to write it (just in case) - I am not responsible for anything that will happen to your phone

How does a person go about a repack? As I still don't know if the EE BOD2 build includes wifi calling. If it does, then I'll be needing to flash it, but it won't be repacked as it isn't Multi-CSC - but won't flash on my phone due to the large /preload partition.

Flashing now. Interested to see if this firmware fixes the problems with the BBC Media Player. Samsung have fixed it on the S5 and S6, according to the Play store page.

Yeah, just tried iPlayer on BOD2 - still broken :( Serious PITA not having access to BBC content on the move. Even radio streaming is glitchy.

Was trying to listen to the football at the weekend, and even with full 4G+ signal the sound kept breaking up. Switched to TuneIn Radio Pro - flawless! Crazy.

I'm struggling to see how it can be Samsung's fault when all the other players seem to work just fine.

That was also my view (i.e. the BBC are at fault) but if you read the info on the Google Play store for the BBC Media Player, it says:

"Users of Samsung Galaxy devices - especially the S5 and Note 4 - may be unable to play content after the upgrade to Android Lollipop (5.x), and may find that the BBC Media Player app crashes after a few seconds. This was due to a bug in the Samsung firmware which has now been fixed. Please ensure you update to the latest version of firmware (G900FXXU1BOC7) for your device."

G900FXXU1BOC7 is a Galaxy S5 firmware though. I wonder what version of the Note 4 firmware will have the same fix?

Yeah, I had read that, but it does make you wonder how every other media player managed to avoid the "Samsung bug", but the BBC fell foul of it.

Indeed! I mean even Sky Go still works! ;)

I just emailed the Media Player dev team and suprisingly got an almost immediate response from the Product Manager:

"We've been trying to get an estimate for a fix from Samsung for some time, and contacted them again yesterday. We'll keep pushing – I'm sorry it's taking so long for this to get fixed. We're also looking into whether we might be able to create a workaround to resolve the issue. In the long-term, of course, the goal is to remove the need for the separate Media Player app entirely; we hope to have achieved this in the native BBC iPlayer app within a few months."

<Apologies to the OP for veering off topic!!>

Hi Alex,
Any chance of a N910FXXU1BOE2 (0x0) Repacked Firmware?
This is exciting, all these NEW firmware being released. :)

    Thanks for the 5.1.1 downloading now to test.
    Question: Do I need to flash any Modem or Bootloader prior to flashing the rom? I am currently on Pof2 running SOKP as my rom.

    oh and is there a root available for 5.1.1 yet? I need my permissions :p

    All necessary parts are inside the ROM (including BL / CP) :cool:

    As I always create multi CSC OXA build for personal use if such official version is not available (installing it is the first step while building the next DevBase) - thread has been updated :cool:

    And, very important, this 5.1.1 FW comes with letter "C" in its name (COH4).
    Last 5.0.1 FW had letter "P" (POF2), and the previous ones "B" (for ex.: BOD2).

    There was no problem in flashing P over B, but you, _alexndr, say that the contrary needs a factory reset to avoid force closes.

    So, how is the situation for COH4 coming from POF2?
    Can we flash without factory reset.?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    No, factory reset is not required - all user data and apps will remain untouched :cool: I just tried POF2 DevBase -> COH4 (re-packed) update
