The firmware version you posted... N910TUVU1ANIH... is for Kitkat. When you go to system recovery, is this the firmware listed there? If it's something else, you'll need to download and odin the correct firmware as listed. This is YouMobile's Odin tutorial. If you follow it, you should be...

Yup, reflashing in odin WILL wipe data. You should try to download another copy of the MM firmware and try odin again... or reflash it to 5.1.1 (see link I posted above), then update the phone to MM if that's what you want.

I'm pretty sure the lens cover is made of glass. If it's plastic, you can try using plastic polish. I've used Mother's Mag polish on my plastic eyeglasses, and car headlight lenses with no problem. Just use sparingly as it can get messy. If the lens cover is glass, you're probably gonna have...

LOL! I see you're still going insanely strong B. Diddy! I'm not back, just thought I'd drop in for a few posts.

Well, there is this... https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/24/18018322/apple-samsung-italy-phone-slowdown-fine-antitrust Ane the link to the Italian article... Google translated>>> Google Translate Seems the version of Marshmallow released to the Note 4 was written for the Note 7 thereby...

Well, the only thing you can do is try to reload the OS using Smartswitch, or Odin, or you could try Rukbat's method and reflash the phone. However, if you're on ATT, then you may be out of luck as ATT doesn't release it's firmware. You still may be able to find it if someone uploaded it to...

Bootloop could be hardware or software. You wouldn't expect a working phone to bootloop so something is amiss for sure. If it's hardware, you're going to be out of luck. If it's software, you might try reinstalling the OS, or downgrading it to Lollipop to see if it helps (depending on your...

Well, the good thing is you know what was causing the issue. Personally, I disable all auto updates in Playstore and I'm quite anal when it comes to anything Google. I actually have all Google services disabled until I need to use something... at which time I go through a pain in the **s...

If that works for you, it's fine. Did you disable the settings in Security like the link shows? It may prevent UPS from having a problem after a restart. However, the security settings may be linked to your Google account too, so by removing your account, it may change the settings back to...

Nasty Google! As the Note 4's OS went up, so did Google's requirement to be more integrated in the OS. It's one reason my Note 4 is still on KK! At least you found the problem... good for you! How are you disactivating it? Are you following this...

Normally after you confirm to turn UPS on in that popup, the phone will take a second or two to toggle into UPS mode. If nothing is happening then I have to guess it's either MM or an app you installed. MM has a lot of permissions that allow things to run, and possibly the UPS app needs a...

This is the popup I see on both of my Note 4's when I initially turn on UPS. I then have the option of turning it on or cancelling. However, one Note 4 is running Kitkat and the other is on Lollipop. I can't remember what/if you will see this on MM. I would assume so.

What happens if you turn off Location? Are you still not able to get into UPS mode? When you turn on UPS mode, do you get a popup of any sort with the option to turn it on?

Are you running any debloating apps? If you are, perhaps you turned something off? If you're already thinking of a new phone, I would do a few things first... 1) save all your data to your computer 2) Factory reset the phone 3) Or... reflash the firmware If you've gotten so far as to replace...

You probably posted in the Note 4 forum by mistake. Can't help you much but please go HERE to XDA and see if it'll be helpful.
