FAQ:
Q: Odin shows a blue box instead of a yellow box that you mentioned on step 4.
A: That's fine. As long as it shows a blue or yellow box continue to the next step.
Q: The yellow box isn't being show in Odin.
A: If you haven't already, install the Samsung USB drivers, change the USB ports, and use the original Samsung USB cable that came with the Note 4. If any of those suggestions don't work switch to a different computer.
Q: Will this reset my flash counter back to 0?
A: Currently there isn't a method to reset the flash counter on the Galaxy Note 4, as soon as a possible method is available I will make a guide for it!
