@Misterxtc
i was looking around to help this user out, and saw your thread here, but it doesnt contain the file he asks for.
maybe you have the file? or could lend some guidance.
thanks

Sorry but I don't have any other files other than what is posted. I stopped all dev work a few months ago and no longer have the tools on my computer to extract and repack the files.

If so, would you mind sharing the procedure? I've tried flashing the 4.4.4 firmware in 3 different computers, with Odin 3.4, 3.7 and 3.9, using several cables and several USB ports, but it always results in a <ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth) or stuck on aboot. I've done factory reset, wiped cache, turned on debugging. Lollipop sucks the battery harder than a truck stop hooker, and would love to go back to KitKat. Thanks for any help thrown my way.
Not everybody at once, people! That's what I get for buying a phone only 3 other people own. It's OK, I still love you, Edge.
I was able to downgrade as were a few others with Edges. A little searching and you'll find all the answers you're looking for.

Is your Edge from Verizon? I found information for other carriers (which I assumed would be the same procedure, obviously with the right firmware), but since my downgrade failed miserably, I want to know if anyone else with a Verizon Note Edge has been able to downgrade.

Check your PM's
Please share this info
Please share on how to roll back to kit kat on the Verizon note edge. I upgraded to lollypop and do not like the battery life and a few other things that have come about because of this upgrade. I have tried using Odin to revert back to 4.4.4 but keep getting a failed message. I would be forever great full if you could please send me or post this information.
Thanks in advance for the help!
If I am ever able, I will. Still stuck with 5.0.1.
Hi gang. FYI... In trying to help MEXICO downgrade his Edge, I sent him a PM with information I thought could be useful for downgrading his Verizon version. Apparently this was something he had already seen and was of no help to him. I have been searching for the tar files for Verizon edge kitkat to no avail. I will continue to research, but at this point I cannot offer any help as I am on AT&T. If I come across something that may be useful, I'll let you know. I encourage you all to also keep searching and share any information you might find. I'm sorry that I'm pretty much useless at this point.
Bootloader TAR File
I have managed to find a sample of the TAR file for the 915F version of the Galaxy Note Edge. I have also been able to find this thread that details what info needs to be made into the TAR file from the downloaded 4.4.4 Verizon Firmware file but I have been unable to create the TAR bootloader file correctly. I keep getting individual files in a TAR and not an MD5 in a TAR. It is a start and hopefully someone with greater knowledge of creating said TAR file can take this info and run with it.
Sample TAR file Thread:

What needs to be in the TAR file:

Here is the place to download the stock firmware:

Hope this is the beginning of something that can work. Please let me know if I can be of further help.
This is my first time to this site and there appears to be a lot of information but I couldnt find the correct section to post this, so here goes.
I have a Tab 4 SM-t330nu with 5.1.1 I just tried to root it and I applied a root for a 4.x operating system. The device loads to the samsung screen and hangs. I can still get into the downloading function but I am looking for the correct file to flash with odin. I did find this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/smnu-lp-touchwiz-5-1-1-kernel-rootable-t3164499 but he said not to flash with odin so im not sure if I can use it or not.
Sorry for the basic question, hopefully someone can point me to the correct file. Thank you.
I got the stock rom back on it and its updating, I still just need to find the root file for a SM-T330NU canadian wifi model. Not sure if anyone can help. Id like to boot thru Odin as I understand it (now lol)
I have a SM-G530T. What I need is the PIT file for this model of Galaxy Grand Prime.
Its in a bootloop at the logo screen. When trying to fix in odin using the stock rom 5.1.1
I get the error message "Fail" in Odin at the system.img.ext4 stage.
Ive been looking for days for the download file. Google lists sites that have it but cant find it on their sites.
Could someone help or maybe suggest another way to fix my phone.
I truly appreciate your time.

although this is not your model, these guys seem helpful in finding some pits.
also, this guy seems to know how to pull it. if you could find someone currently posting with your model, maybe you could sweet talk them into pulling it for you
thank you

thank you so much for replying. ive tried sammobile....but no pits for my model. i read the message from that guy about his phone the other day..ill try him.
thanks again.
So I just revived a replacement phone the other day, it came preloaded with 6.0.1. I wanted to root and flash a rom so I ended up finding a guild online and started to follow it. It had me flash a file via odin and after it would just stick on the tmobile logo with the blue led on. So I looked around and found another recovery file and tried that, now it gets stuck on the first screen with a warning that its not sandroid enforcing or something.
I am having a heck of a hard time finding the files to restore everything back to 6.0.1 so I can have another go but can't seem to find the files I need. I think I need 2 files, one for the boot part and one for the rom?
Please help or i'll be forced to use an iPhone!

Flash stock firmware from sammobile.com. download most current, extract, place phone in download mode, have a GOOD USB cable, add file to AP section of Odin, and flash. Once you get fixed then I'll help you root or whatever you're trying to do. If you have any issues returning to stock, please copy Odin logs so I can see where Odin failed.
Greetings my tech peoples.
Just wanted to let everybody know I successfully flashed a BNTV450 Stock Rom on a BNTV460 Tablet. As I said in a previous post, I bricked the little guy trying to get root (it got stuck in a bootloop after I patched Magisk to the boot-sign img and then flashed it) so I thought, why not be creative and see what you can do with the little guy.
Now there are problems. A **** ton of problems. It isn't what I would call functional. Screen keeps going Red on the borders and flickering. Start thing crashed. But I can get in and finagle to developer options and such. Flashboot and ADB still working though. Keep in mind I flashed with SP Tool via scatter file.
But hey - it can be done!!!!
Also, just for note, I've also been able to flash a boot img of the 450 over an installation of the 460 stock rom - did that unlocking the device. Honestly, that caused less problems but I wasn't able to get root. Also, it naturally erased my unlocking but fret not, I've unlocked the thing 3 times in the 12 hours I've had it.
This is my first nook device, and my first timed dealing with new android, Oreo. But I just wanted to give the hope out there.
Hopefully better news in the coming days.
You wouldn't want to share your scatter file and your stock firmware would you? Trying to recover a 450 that won't boot past Nook screen. I cannot unlock it because the volume key does not respond. I have been able to flash 1.02, 2.04, and 2.05 boot and recovery images from ipdev's thread with no change. Also got a 1.02 system.img from him but that did not seem to fix it either. I do not have adb access at this moment either so cannot logcat.

This is the 450 firmware I used:https://mega.nz/#!Ds5lTCRD!MT8za1cUYOfEkSXGZB57gIsWr12ogWs9YotDoHZLwQ4
Scatterfile is in there. Keep in mind I got it from an unverified source - use at your own risk just in case it has that piece of software in the OS that B&N knew about which you can read about here: https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/22/the-new-barnesnoble-nooks-come-with-free-malware/

Sorry bro, it kept redirecting weirdly. I reposted the link in the previous post and it should work.
Here is also the site I got it from: https://www.xsfirmware.com/nook-bntv450-mt8163-android-6-0-firmware-flash-files/
Back up and running. Thank you.

No prob dude.
If spflash tool is working, but you have not a correct scatter file. You can use "Wwr_MTK tool" to read back the whole emmc and read partition table from preloader, the tool will make scatter file and full image copies of the firmware partition by partition
I did this, but now I can't log into the B&N account, and if I try to open nook settings, it asks me to log in, and again, it doesn't let me...
