Key Points to Remember

  • Ensure that you have installed proper USB drivers for Galaxy Note 5 on the computer.
  • Create a backup of all important data of the phone using custom recovery, before following the installation guide.
  • Enable USB Debugging Mode on phone to enable connectivity with the computer and use Android SDK with it. [Go to Settings>> Developer Options and enable the USB Debugging option.]
  • Ensure your Note 5 is having at least 80% battery charge. Otherwise, the device might inadvertently shut down during the installation process due to lack of enough battery charge, which in turn could brick the device.
  • Ensure your phone has been unlocked before you proceed.
  • The phone will lose custom ROM and root access once the stock update is installed. Also, the custom recovery will be replaced by the stock version.
  • The Lollipop firmware build version N920CXXU1AOGE works with Note 5 variant only. As flashing this on any incorrect variant might brick the device, verify the model number by navigating to Settings>> About phone >> Model number and then install firmware based on the model number.
  • IBTimes UK will not be held liable for any damage to the device. Users are advised to proceed at their own risk.
