[Solved] Decrypt N910T T-Mobile 6.0.1 Marshmallow, Stock N910TUVU2EPE3, Imperfect

(I'm a complete noob, I am not a dev, nor even pretend to be a "power user")

Galaxy Note 4, unlocked T-Mobile on MetroPCS unlimited plan.

Ok, here is what I did

I attempted wiping everything in the advanced using TWRP 3.0.2 for the T-Mobile Note 4, to no avail.

I reinstalled the N910TUVU2EPE3_N910TTMB2EPE3_N910TUVU2EPE3_HOME.tar .md5 via Odin

Booted into the stock recovery. This was an Ah ha, moment. the Stock recovery was able to wipe the encrypted partitions.

Re-installed via Odin.
Rebooted this did not prompt for a password or pin indicating the internal storage was indeed cleared and installed without encryption

I used the following to make my SD Card "adoptable"

I then rebooted and installed TWRP via Odin

Rebooted and wiped using TWRP and began the reconfigure of the phone.

Allowed the restore to complete and during the setup I was able to confirm VoIP works. See attachment, made a call to confirm.

All that is left is to root using the following threads:

Root/Recovery (http://ift.tt/2947m36)
Xposed (http://ift.tt/2947jnC)

This worked for me, the ROM is not debloated and has all factory programs.
