Guys, I'm making this thread for those people who are using Sprint's Note 4 (N910P) outside of US and are stuck with Sprint's ROM (or the ROMs that are based on it) and have certain issues in using the ROM.
For instance, I'm using the unlocked variant of N910P with a GSM carrier, so I was having problem in connecting to the Hot-Spot feature as all of my devices were stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" loop and eventually would never connect.
I did try various "hacks" present here on XDA for enabling Hot-Spot feature like using Galaxy Tools, using SQLite Editor, etc but wasn't able to overcome the problem.
Since, XDA is a great platform for sharing solutions to various problems, I decided to create a thread especially for those who don't want Sprint's bloatware but want to stick with "Stock ROM features" like S Pen.
Hence, here's the step-by-step guide for installing other carrier's ROM on N910P:
Before attempting all this,make sure to be on OK1 Bootloader & Baseband for N910P.
Step 1:
Install TWRP recovery version 3.0.1 (Yes, you read it right..it's 3.0.1 & not 3.0.2)
The reason for choosing 3.0.1 is that the ROM successfully booted using this version instead of 3.0.2 (Don't ask me the reason for it..)
Once you have downloaded, flash it through ODIN (the TAR file) or through existing TWRP (using ISO image).
Step 2:
Make a backup of your current ROM so that you can revert to it in case of unsuccessful flash.
Step 3:
Go to Wipe (in TWRP)-----> Factory reset (do this 3 times.....yes, 3 times!)
Then, go to Advanced Wipe & wipe Dalvik/ART cache,Cache,Data,Internal Storage, System (Do not wipe external SD Card).
Hit the back button to come out of the "wipe window"
Step 4:
Click on "Install" and choose the files in following order:
a) Dr Ketan's ROM
b) Data Fix for the ROM
c) Kernel
d) SuperSU (I used beta 2.71)
Once the flashing process is finished, reboot the system and wait for the phone to boot.
It will take a long time (around 10-15 minutes) to boot.
Once you are on setup wizard screen, choose to apply "Dr Kketan's fix" and then you can proceed like you do in any other ROM.

(Its for G variant)

Super SU:
It can be found here on XDA

Note: I am in no way to be credited for all this as the links provided above are a result of hard work from the respective developers. I have just compiled all the links into one thread so that it can help anyone like me to switch to other ROM.
Also, neither I nor any of the above mentioned developers/members are responsible for any fault that may arise due to improper flash or other reasons..
Do all of it at your own risk!
Last but not the least, I would like to thank @ricohz for helping me out when I was stuck in some steps..
(In the screen-shot attached, the model number is 920T for obvious reasons...so don't ask why it's not 910P..)
Do note that the APNs have to be edited manually, else the data connectivity would not be there!
(This thread should benefit the non-Sprint users........)
