Hardware/software Diagnosis.



Hello all,
I just bought a Note 4 as a replacement for my busted Note 3 and the one I purchased had a improperly flashed firmware, so I thought i'd take a gamble and try to restore it.

I was able to re-flash to OG5 then use the OTA update to 6.0. Then the phone would reboot randomly have severe battery drain, become very laggy, and lock the device to the point where I had to pull the battery and let it sit for a few moments to be able to boot it up again.

Then I decided I'd try a custom ROM and flashed the Resurrection Remix rom and per the instructions flashed to OG5 first, I also cleared the partitions and dalvik, prior to ROM install. Problems still persist.

I have read that the eMMC memory can fail leading to read errors, and a failing battery can fail leading to some of these symptoms but i'm not sure what to do now. I have ordered a ANKER replacement battery just to be on the safe side and I ran a app to test the eMMC and it passed but i'm not sure on the effectiveness of the app. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
