While the latest Android 5.1.1 Lollipop is yet to be rolled out for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, users of the device with the model number SM-N910F can upgrade their handset to the new firmware using Resurrection Remix custom ROM.

Being an unofficial firmware, the new Resurrection Remix ROM will require users to root their devices and have a custom recovery installed, before manually installing the custom firmware.

Here are some key aspects to remember before installing the SOKP ROM on the Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F):

  • Users must ensure proper backup of personal data on the phone
  • The handset should have at least 80 percent battery power
  • USB drivers for the Galaxy Note 4 must be installed on the computer
  • USB debugging must be enabled on the phone
  • Make sure that the device is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with the model number (SM-N910F)

Note: International Business Times cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong. Users should proceed at their own risk.
