Yes mini version

Don't select PIT. Leave everything as it is. Just select the root tar file as PDA. Than simply press Start

That is a RARE error message ...never heard any other users ever experienced such. Try again with lower version of Odin, say 1.85 or 1.87. I never like to use v3 and above as is at times problematic. I always use ver 1.87

I switched over from Maxis n it was activated within an hour. That was about 3 years ago. That is bad if it takes 2 days now. I don't even need to clear my Maxis bill as auto charge to my card.

VOL STATUS to 22188
Top Up data : BROADBAND VOL to 22188 - you will recieve reply and offer various plans - just follow the guided instructions

Rooting is freaking simple n no data will be deleted
I had described how to root it n another forumer had added comments to it
Do a search back or just google in forum XDA Note4 original android development. Look for Chainfire root

sharp56 - another proven case service center doesn't bother about Knox triggered
I had successfully claim Note3 USB port n motherboard replacement with S6 Edge with knox triggered. But in both cases I fully unrooted phone before sending in

Rooting itself less than a minute including reboot. Installing twrp most another minute.

sharp 56 - messing with system apps ( deleting n moving) do it only if you are more knowledgeable
You can always use Odin in PC to flash back any stock rom incase your phone is soft broken
I used Greenify Pro to greenify everything that is listed except whatsapp. Don't worry core system apps will never allow it to be greenify
I used Titanium to freeze all Knox stuffs n several other useless ( so deemed by me)

Samsung app n utilities too

I had tested Leandroid but didn't like it. When phone resume from standby mode the 3g/lte lockup is slightly delayed up to 1-2 secs. Anyway I tested it only for half a day n not sure how it will help in saving battery usage
The best app is still intelli3g ( need xposed mod) but sadly xposed mod not available for lollipop yet
Meanwhile I use the next best app DS battery saver

Well I am glad you like it. As for me I always want my data instant on and I just hate to wait for data be online.
As said many times, different users had different needs of their app. It is simply I just hate to wait for data to be online - I'll always prefer it to be instant

SD chipset you need to check specs of AP set first. Not necessary all AP sets are SD chip
Most web reviews point to Exynos a better performer n better battery savings vs SD.

Rooting only allow you admin access to phone system
No data or files will be deleted
Everything remains intact n everything will work as before
It is what you wish to do after root that will affects your phone
Most 9/10 custom rom are still TW based n all SPen features remained

As said everything remains intact!! Google meaning of intact if u don't understand

For those rooted phones, you will not be able to update firmware OTA
There are several ways to overcome this

If ONLY rooted without any custom recovery ( CWM or TWRP) installed

- USE app supersu PRO to unroot. Launch app and at its settings, untick enable supersuser . Scroll down and tap Fully unroot. Restart phone

If rooted and with Custom recovery installed

Extract fully down the stock firmware tar file till you see recovery.img. There will be other several img files too. Use app FLASHIFY to flash this stock recovery.img file. Restart phone and you will get stock recovery installed. Unroot phone as described earlier on
Or you can use Odin in PC to just flash this recovery.img file ( compress it back to tar format) . You need to compress the img file back to tar format first. I always prefer use app flashify without need to use PC

If you had any CUSTOM rom installed, best is to use Odin in PC to flash the stock firmware in tar format. This will auto unroot and restore stock recovery and stock rom to your phone. However this will possibly erase all your phone's data. I cannot really remember whether this will happen but it won't erase any data if your rom is official rom. Downgrading your firmware will erase data. Upgrading or flashing similar version will not

If you don't want ota just download latest firmware at sammobile n flash using odin in PC.
However many users "lazy" to download the big file
Seriously I had never any issues downloading from sammobile even though my home wifi is hopelessly slow averaging only 2-4 Mbps only vs my phone Celcom LTE 15-25 Mbps !!!

Already said odin flashing will unroot n restore to stock recovery
U guys never read properly ???

P1 is best I can get in BP. Before that streamyx is worse only max 1Mbps . Hopefully Unify will be in by August as informed. Those Telco home broadband is faster but stupid offer as only allow more data usage from 2am onwards only till 7am.

What problem is that?? Never like to use Samsung app but will look at it on my S6 E n friend's Note4. He had not yet updated yet n considering custom roms based on latest build.

That I would say is a good deal
Based on my experience using S6 Edge :

Screen size - I can never get used to its smaller size. It would be great if it has at least a 5.5 inch display. You need to assess yourself on this

Battery : Don't worry too much as the S6 chip is way better and more energy efficient. On day 2 alone I had even hit 5-6 hours SOT and easily match Note 4. However my S6E was rooted n installed with apps/tweaks to reduce battery drain on phone standby. And yes you had to accept battery is non removable and heavy users might need a powerbank in his bag

Another major disadvantage of S6E is it doesn't has ext SDcard support. But is minor issue if you can accept to use those mini micro USB thumb drives. I used a 64 GB unit it to store most of my audio, videos and backups ( Titanium, EAS, nandroid backups). There s no obvious significant delays reading stuffs from the ext drive
If you need to use SPen frequently, you will miss this in S6E

However personally I feel S6 is a better choice than S6E. The Edge feature in SGE is gimmicky and severely lacking in functions vs the Edge in Note Edge. All users of S6E agreed that they bought it solely for its unique design and seriously if one is hoping more from the Edge features, he will be sorely disappointed. I viewed the Edge in S6E is a big failure from Samsung vs Note Edge

In overall performance the S6E is way much better vs Note 4. I'd say the S6E is the smoothest and best performance Android I had ever used to date. Sadly it is only a 5 incher.
