Are these the firmware download from www.sammobile.com?
I searched for SM-N910F and its come back with a bunch of versions for different countries and providers, which do I go for?
I have installed custom roms before, if I remember correctly it involves rooting the phone, dont want to root as it stops the banking apps from working.

My contract is up in October so unless the note 7 is amazing I'll probably be going sim only & keeping the 4 for a while longer. It still does everything I want.
Just need to install MM as three don't seem to be releasing it OTA.

My Note 4 is very rapidly wanting to become one with the wall.....
Had a cased teh other day where it completly froze and would not receive any signal. Had to remove battery to get it up and working.
Then to top it off, was re-organising the Wifi at home and it would fail to get an IP address. That was when it decided to get a wifi signal. Which was slightly worrying as was sat next to an AC AP that covers 120m. This also goes along with the fact I am sat 50m at home from an O2 4G tower and I get next to no signal from it.
Am feeling tonight that I may be forced to do a factory reset and cache wipes to see if that clears the issues I am having.
It has been absolutley great since I had it, it was just in teh last 4 months it has started to play up.
Roll on Oct when I can change it...but that is a whole other issue...Note 7 ot S7E?

I'm also on Three, waiting for them to release MM
don't know what's taking them so long.
and I think 
Sigh I upgraded to the Note 4 due to my Note 1 deciding it was going to drain battery like crazy more often than not - using both in daily use at the moment for various reasons and the Note 1 is behaving perfectly again - despite moderate use since 6am this morning its still at 91% instead of the 30-40% it was going down to :S

Just had a OTA update, another battery fix and other things i guess.
If you're comfortable with it, then go for it
My post above has a guide to flash the stock ROM and if you want to go custom route, suggest Dr Ketan's ROM.
I flashed my old Note 2 a few years ago so know the process, just wondering if Marshmellow offers enough to bother doing it
To be honest I can't remember as the last few Android releases haven't felt revolutionary. The only thing that does stick is MM's bloody annoying app permission requests, why on earth do I need to be asked if it's OK each time when the phone is plugged into a computer?
Need a little help... how do I unroot and put my Kernel back to the stock Kernal so I can download the newest updates... To be clear. I'm still using the stock rom but my kernel is a custom kernel. Is there anyway to get the stock kernel back on and unroot without having to reflash the whole stock firmware and lose everything on my phone?
Actually I just checked and it says my phone is not rooted but under device status is still says custom which I guess is because I'm still using a custom Kernel? All I want to do is be able to get back my over the air updates so I can update my phone but don't want to lose anything that I have on my phone.

Guys, I've had the same problems (phone sluggish, freezing, battery randomly dying from 20%, discharging from full in few hours or less) around 2 months ago and got a new battery, this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00PVFYOGK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Since putting the new battery in I have no more problems and it holds charge just like it did when I first bought it - at least 1 or 2 days use. Currently got 4hr 20min screen on time since morning with wifi/4G all on day with sync on to 4 e-mail accounts and battery still on 70% - says 24hr left!
hmmm since I upgraded my Note 4 to Marshmallow my battery is doing weird things. Its suddenly just went from 25% to 14% and yesterday it went from 15% to 4% in the blink of an eye. Is MM messing up my phone or is it just a coincidence and my battery has decided to mess up around the same time I updated my phone?
I might get a new battery if I keep the phone. Doesn't seem to have been fixed recently but I normally top the battery up throughout the day. Its only been a problem when I sit down in the evening and constantly use it on and off for 6 hours.
