Anyone with a mmc_fail Note 4 tucked away in a drawer might want to try this
A few people on XDA and Reddit are saying it fixed the problem.

Still using mine and no problems so far but could be useful - I've only skipped through the video/info so I might be restating the obvious but from the looks of what he is doing that suggests the problem is something along the lines of BGA solder failure.
Yep. I'm hardly a fan of Samsung devices but I respect their build quality. The Note4 was something else though - it always remained snappy under the stock OS. Even my dad fell in love with it and the stylus when I gave it to him as a hand-me-down. The screen was as good as my S8+ and I recall drooling at my 7hr SoT out of the box during the first 6 months of use. Hell even that camera was superb.For me it is close to the perfect phone as far as anything that is possible with current tech goes - good screen with enough resolution and no silly aspect ratio or curved edges or notches, decent enough battery life, 3.5mm headphone jack!, removable battery, good enough performance and though I don't use it a lot the stylus support, etc.

I don't want to jinx myself but it looks to me like Samsung are using a lot of software "hacks" to do thermal management and generally make up for some hardware design flaws with the Note 4 and people using custom ROMs (that probably don't have these limits) and/or using mods that remove other thermal limits like the camera ones are probably making up a significant number of the people seeing these failures due to more frequent thermal cycles and more extreme thermal cycles that are pushing the weaknesses with the phone's hardware.
