So last night I decided to root my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5. I used the root method from the GalaxyNote5Root website. I followed all the instructions and there were no errors; I had root successfully. In order for me to root however, I had to turn on OEM Unlock. I did. Once I was rooted, I made the mistake (and unknowing the repercussions of this mistake) of turning it off. I didn't realize it would lock me out. I wanted to see if I could still use Samsung Pay with RootCloak. RootCloak required a reboot and so I rebooted only to find out I was locked out.
I did the research I could and read all the threads pertaining to my particular issue but none of them helped. Unfortunately for today, SamMobile free downloads are unavailable due to maintenance. I tried other sources and found myself getting the firmware link from the GalaxyNote5Root website as it was one of the only sources that didn't have downloads so damn slow without paying that it would have taken me like 10 hours. Of course, those failed after cm.bin. I did notice, however, unlike the people in the YouTube tutorials I was watching, my Odin, regardless of version, when I loaded the firmware file into Odin (using AR or PDA), it would start with Enter CS for MD5 and check it even though I haven't plugged in my device yet. I don't know if that's normal but as soon as it hits the Please Wait.. my Odin would stop responding and take forever!
I have been flashing a Lolipop firmware for my Note until I decided to try a Marshmallow firmware variant. It then gave me this error which was sw rev. check fail. device 4 binary 2. I believe this is due to problems with downgrading? I decided to try the Marshmallow variant after that. It came up as that the md5 value hash is invalid. I know that this is the way to fix the lock out but do I really have to wait a day and get the firmware from SamMobile? Is that the only source of firmware that will actually work?
