Hi Guys,
ı just updated to Lolipop via (23.1.A.0.690) Baltic Generic ftf.
Now i want to root my device for use incoming calls stereo speaker and for close all mod
i searched a lot of times. but i couldnt find the guide... can someone help or show me?
You cant
You will have to downgrade to .93, root, install recovery and flash a pre rooted version of 5.0.2
Thanks
But I dont want to start everything from zero. Can I do without cleaning data via flashtool
flashing a 4.4.4 rom over the 5.0.2 without wiping the data but you will probably get boot loops and force closes, when changing a major revision of android its always best to start fresh
if you are concerned about data just take a backup of the data of the existing 5.0.2 stuff then put it back on when you have rooted and flashed the rooted 5.0.02

I doubt that will happen as its easier to downgrade, root and then upgrade than to find a whole new exploit to root....

General Lollipop Information Thread
Since many users asking the same questions over and over again i'm going to start with many "basics" answers for you
Why? because you guys won't use the search button :silly:
Can i revert back to kitkat safely?
Yes And No, If you have upgraded the bootloader.
If you have upgraded with Bootloader you might have some IMEI issues, And afaik there is none that has fixed this. Thus who hasn't updated the booloader can still revert back.
I got no baseband or WIFI
Go to More > About Device
Scroll down until you see baseband. if you don't have HOA7 in the end that means you're wifi won't work with stock kernel
Make sure that you always read the OP and if OP hasn't stated it, you need to update your modem and NON-HLOS.bin
Make sure to uncheck auto reboot before flashing!
Battery life is terrible
Yeah ofc you haven't had the rom for more than x days so it hasn't been fully set.
Can i use CF-Auto Root
NO! People who used this also flashed update-su in recovery, however flashing CF-Auto root isn't needed and it will not work due to old binaries.
How can i root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-t3018625
Why does X And Y FC
because you didn't provide logcat.
Why does it takes 2x minutes for it to boot first time?
because samsung made some changes which i can't tell, i've never seen such a slow upgrading screen on lollipop neither on stock versions.

Can u port soundcamp to s4 ?
i've flashed cf autoroot and it works perfectly
i did a completly downgrade,also bootloader and no issues
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
i have installed official lollipop 5.0.1. If I root my phone, I will be able to flash official updates from samsung in the future? or I won't because of triggered knox
ViPER4Android
I managed to install Viper as system app but problem is How do I Activate it? In Sound settings there is No Music fx, (although it's installed), so I don't have the option switch Viper on, let only see Adapted Sound and in custom profile doesn't select it either. Am I missing something or is it because this update is so terrible
great info Droid! saw this thread in your signature
Revert from LL 5.0.1 to KK 4.4.2 is possible even if you flashed the Bootloader!
Personaly tested and working like charm!
No IMEI lost, no issues soo far found....

I've updated my Note Edge (italian, 100% stock) to Lollipop few days ago, but i really don't like it, i think it's the worst android version i ever used (i hate, a lot, how the lockscreen works now).
Is there any safe (and maybe easy) way to reinstall Kitkat 4.4.4?
i've found this guide searching with Google:
http://androidsigma.com/how-to-downgrade-samsung-note-edge-from-android-lollipop-to-kitkat/
is it ok?
thanks in advance

I did it just the way the guide says, download your official Rom for you phone from sammobile, then use odin, its pretty straight forward, if you get into a bootloop, just wipe cache and it should boot.

ok, thanks for the reply.
you did the downgrade starting from an original Lollipop rom?
because my phone is non-rooted and 100% stock now, with the Lollipop rom that i received via KIES update.

I have the SM-N915T the version from tmobile, but when i bought it from a third party (brand new and unlocked) it did not come with the tmobile rom, it was the one from trinidad and tobago kitkat 4.4.4)
so i downloaded the lollipop Rom for Tmobile, and it worked fine, but i did not like all the bloatware from Tmobile so i decided to go back to kitkat, so i downloaded the kitkat version i had before, downloaded it from sammobile
checked usb debugging in developers settings, then put the phone in download mode, opened odin, click on PDA and selected the kitkat rom i had downloaded from sammobile, everything went fine, after everything completed, remember to wait for the PASS message fro odin, do not disconnect the phone unless it says PASS, after that the phone just boot looped, samsung logo, then samsung logo. So i booted to recovery and cleared cache, after that the phone booted just fine. So basically that is what i did, no problems at all, just make sure you download the Rom for yous specific Edge Model.
i've succesfully downgraded my phone
after the flash with Odin the phone was bootlooping, but with a full wipe (data and cache) everything was ok
now i've disabled automatic firware updates and i'll stick to KK 4.4.4 till Google new updates to Lollipop and the awful head-ups notification system.
thank you very much!

Hi,
I am having bootloop issue even after I clear with cache and dalvik from the recovery. I flashed with ODIN(N915GXXU1ANK4_N915GOLB1ANK4_MM1.zip) from Lollipop 5.0.1 as mine is Singapore unit. Anyone care to share their experience on how to recover from this.....

This is how i did from lollipop rollback to kitkat CWM > wipe data/factory reset > wipe cache partition > advance > wipe dalvik cache > turn off phone go to download mode > odin start to flash kitkat (SM-N915G Singapore)
The way I recovered this is factory reset instead of clearing the cache. Now running Kit Kat and very much happier...

Thanks for the suggestion. It worked as I went from Lollipop to Kit Kat. Much happier, especially considering the camera button on the edge panel for both selfie and normal mode. makes life a whole lot easier
I have a Verizon edge but everytime I try to flash back to kitkat with odin, it says it fails. I've tried 2 different files but neither seem to work. Are there any other methods or any other place to get the file from other than sammobile? Lollipop has killed my love for this phone. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Who knows.

If you know the baseband number of the verizon 4.4.4 Stock ROM, my T Mobile one is N915TUVU1ANK3, you can search for it on https://www.androidfilehost.com/
Downloads much faster with none of that stupid gimmicky pricing.
This phone really shines on Kit Kat. if only Samsung put just a little more effort in maintaining the features of Kit Kat on Lollipop. I really do like the face lift of Lollipop but I'll take the ergonomic Kit Kat that takes full advantage of the Edge any day.
hi guys, im using note edge, sprint N915P, with 5.1.1 but my fingerprint have problem. I would like to downgrade to 4.4.4, is that ok or any suggestion i need to pay attention? I heard that the phone will be null, lost imei if we try to downgrade, is that real? Thanks all

Never heard the IMEI thing before. Doesn't even make sense to me. Just download the stock 4.4.4 ROM for sprint via Odin.
Read the above directions In the thread.

i tried but it said fail, my baseband is N915PVPU4COG1, and i downloaded the firmware "N915PVPU1ANK1_N915PSPT1ANK1_XAS" from sammobile. Did i download the correct firmware? Please support. Thanks a lot.
What was the fail message? was it aboot.mbn????
Thanx
Yes thats the failed message I got. I tried the file from 2 different sites.

Yeah I got the same error message attempting to move from the firmware for SM-N915P (5.1.1.) to SM-N915FY(5.0.1.) though I've seen a few people talk about the fact that you can't go backwards now.
Sorry for being a complete and utter noob (read: idiot) and for maybe making a duplicate thread - I tried to find a similar thread but couldn't.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE, that I bought maybe two months ago. I had big troubles to root it and finally succeeded with KingRoot 4.0, a nifty Chinese app. What I actually wanted to do is get the OTG to work, however as it didn't my quest continued. Today I flashed Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on my phone and it's not bricked, it works, but it's unrooted so I cannot even use the apps that would make the OTG work if I find the right kernel and/or cable, whichever is the problem. No one-click-rooting apps worked except for KingRoot and now that's not working either.
Is there any way to restore the original, factory stock rom on my phone..?
????
Please can u give me the name of the app that make your device to enable otg?
name or link please
just get the old firmware 4.4.4 from sammobile and flash the rom with odin then when when the phone boots it will be stuck in boot loop all you have to do is boot into recovery and wipe cache partition then reboot and give it two mins to boot up
hello,
were you able to downgrade g360f to 4.4.4?
thanks
Is there someone managed to do it. I already read a lot of post regarding downgrading to 4.4.4, some says theres no chance to downgrade if you upgraded OTA but some managed to downgrade. So can really downgrade back to 4.4.4?? I'm really confused right now. Lollipop on my device has a lot of issues. Battery drains much faster even on idle mode it sucks up my battery. Game run much lagger than before. Already did factory wipe and clear cache 3x. I never experienced this when i was on Kitkat 4.4.4 and i really want to downgrade.. many of the user who tried to downgrade (Note Edge) have their phone soft bricked due to bootloader or something..
So is there a possibility that i can downgrade back to 4.4.4?? Thanks!
I was able to do it on my T Mobile Edge. I downgraded by following these instructions http://androidsigma.com/how-to-downgrade-samsung-note-edge-from-android-lollipop-to-kitkat/
I didn't use Sammobile though because they want me to pay to be able to download stock ROMs that should be free so I googled the PDA of the stock T Mobile ROM and downloaded it from https://www.androidfilehost.com
I got a boot loop but I fixed it by booting into Samsung recovery mode (stock normal one) and doing a cache wipe and a hard reset.
Hi! Thanks for your reply.. Actually i already read that sites(Downgrade guide) but the comments on that link prevent me from doing the downgrade because almost all who commented on that site had their edge bricked..
Bought mine at Singapore.. can i also used that T mobile ROM?? thats a stock ROM right?
You can stop the soft brick by doing a hardware reset which you need to do anyway after every OTA update. You can do the reset off of the stock Samsung recovery
And yes that is Stock T Mobile ROM. What model is your Note Edge? T Moble ROMs normally work on most versions
Mine is SM-N915G..
I already downloaded the stock FW here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/38097/N915GXXU1ANJ5_N915GOLB1ANJ3_XSP/
inside the zip folder contain N915GXXU1ANJ5_N915GOLB1ANJ3_N915GXXU1ANJ3_HOME.tar.md5 file.... thats all i need right??
In the Odin.. did u enable the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time??
Hard Reset means factory reset right?
Thanks.. you're my only hope now hahaha...
Will downgrade today. Wish me luck!
It'll work . Just make sure to do a recovery factory reset.
Thanks for your assistance! Managed to downgrade my unit back to kitkat 4.4.4... is there a way to disbble OTA witthout root.. its kinda irritating! It just stays at the in the notfication bar...
Btw, my games run my smoother now!!! Games especially emulator for NDS, PSX, Nintendo GC arent optimized on lolliopop.. But on Kitkat, it runs very smooth
I think you can do that through software updates settings on about phone section. Glad to see it worked. Told you it would. Sometimes you just gotta take risk. It was scary for me too but I just had this confidence I'd tweak my way out of it if I bricked my phone.
Hi guys,
for some reason after I did update to KangVIP I can't get rid off it. Besides I got no wifi and bt and I was going to start over with b023 as suggested but at this point I wont bother anymore.
I did wipe the system, I did advanced wipe using twrp but no matter what I do none of the stock firmwares are going through however the Kanga one always goes through.(KangaVIP goes through only in TWRP)
twrp 2.8.7.0
wipe
advanced wipe
I select all the partitions
mkdosfs process ended with error=1
unable to wipe /usb
unknown mtp message type: 1
unable to wipe /usb
I go back, restart to fastboot, (device is saying there is no OS installed), I restore the recovery, create dload folder on my sdcard, put there 028 (actually I tried all of them already), volume+ volume - power and I get error.
What am I missing ?
Anyone can help ?
Thanks in advance.

First you did a OTA from B029 to B209?
If so you are now on a Android 6 ROM you cant go back to Android 5 without a Rollback from Huawei.

Yes I did then I wiped everything and started with b028 again.
Same thing, wifi didn't work same with BT.
Wipe again and this time I did local update and since the local update I can't go back not even b029.

If you on a Android 5 ROM you can force update a Complete ROM to install a clean system and try if everything works.

I'm stuck on 6.0
I know I can do force update on 5.0 I said it above I just can't do it with 6.0 -> b029, only with your rom.
Anyone else is having this issue ?
The Kanga rom got a quite few problems no wifi and not BT, Google play services crashing (this can be fixed with gapps) my co worker just tried it with his own methods and same issue. After I went through the whole Kanga thread 60% of the posters got problems most of them are ignored.
I don't have any problems but I think the people with problems are people who have a DAV 701L.

I got DAV-703L, just simple question, why is the wifi and bt not working ?
When I get into Kanga I can remove the root or deny access to it is there a way to ditch it ?
Yeah I know it's working for you and it's not working for 10 other people including 703L owners. There is something wrong with the rom no doubt about it.

I think there was an error while flashing and without a full clean Rom flash i can't see a solution.
Before I got it to work I flashed it more than 3 times and everytime everything worked so I think don't think the ROM is that bugged.

The first rom you introduced is working "fine" I get the wifi and bt no problem but once I switch into the latest build it's gone.
Any idea where can I get full clean Rom ?
This one is a no go http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/
I managed to rollback to 5.1.1 but when I try to force flash it, it says it's not compatible.
If you don't update properly to B209, when you flash any B209 rom you are going to run into issues such as the wireless Bluetooth and sim card switching for some. If you properly updated the dload method should have completed successfully. Look at the kernel and radio version of B209 in About phone and compare it to others and see if they match.

I don't want to use your rom even if you removed the Chinese it's still inside the system. Boot load times take much longer. Unexpected crashes. I did try it on 4 phones with OTA and local updates 2 are working but the Kang does crash twice a day minimum.
All what I'm asking is how to restore it to it's original settings, this was my worst mistake ever.
What I'm trying to say if I do something I do it properly just look at your thread 85% failure ratio that doesn't look like it was done properly does it ?

Really dude?? No worries, it will be the last time I do anything for the P8Max. Maybe you should just sell the phone since you're having all sorts of issues with it....or maybe you should have left it totally stock then. Or maybe read through the Mediapad X2 forums because the two phones are very similar.
