I need some help unrooting my S6 with cm13 6.0, I installed the cm13 and the camera and flashlight isn't working, also the screen seems a little fuzzy in some rare cases. I wanted to see if it's the cm13 that malfunction the apps. So I want to change back to stock firmware. I was told that if I was flashed to 6.0 I cannot use the old 5.0's firmware to flash and instead I would need 6.0 stock firmware to flash. I want to test out if the phone still malfunctions in stock firmware, if so I will send it in for repair. Please help, thank you.

Wtf dude... did you read bugs of cm13... its not even an alpha rom... download stock BTU firmware a guy just posted minutes ago... you wont have any problems and you dont need to send it for repair
All of the malfunction was fixed by flashing to another rom. I am back at 5.1 Loli now. I also tried the BTU files and they don't seem to work.

Spent the last few weeks trying to get a rom with black backgrounds on my I9505 that still has full camera functionality. Installed slimkat which was fine but the camera barely worked at all so decided to go back to stock 4.4.2 which is where my problems started. Upon doing this I got a message saying I might loose root and did I want to fix it, I said yes and from that time on I have never been able to instal another 4.4.2 system. I am however able to instal stock lollipop.
I suspect this is a knox issue and I have tripped the counter but I have no idea what I could try next as the graviton rom (4.4.2) seems to be my best option for a black background rom still with touchwiz camera stuff. I also find every custom recovery I instal gets over ridden back to the stock recovery and Im constantly reinstalling them.
This is truly driving me around the bend, Could someone point me in the right direction on what the problem is please?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The Samsung devices usually have qfuses which get "blown" when updating to the latest firmware. This prevents you from downgrading the firmware to earlier versions. I would suggest you follow this to flash the stock firmware in Odin and start over. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41072377 You'll have to reinstall your custom recovery, however, you should still be able to flash 4.4.2 custom roms.

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.

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.
Ok,,,,here is my plight...
about 6 months ago my s5 became unusable due to the fact that concrete and GS5's dont play well together...becoming more and more frustrated having to use an older phone (HTC ONE M7) i went ahead and threw caution to the wind and bought a new LCD digitizer for my GS5 and hoped for the best...
replaced my digitizer and VIOLA !! my phone booted and was exactly the same as it was the day before concrete and LCD collided..
after booting it up went in to check everything and all seems well....root was still good,,,just had to upgrade everything and move on..
my problem is that since it has been a while there have been so many changes as far as updates,,ROMs,,and other techniques i need to find out the steps to take and what would be my best plan of attack..
i am on MOAR v2.2 NE5 and when i installed that back when i first got the phone tripped KNOX,,but i dont think that is too much of a concern at this point...or is it ??
i have read alot of things about going to Lollipop but am not sure if i need to do anything except find a Firmware and flash it with Kies or if ODIN is a better way to go....it would be great if i were able to just jump right to MM but i know the chances of that happening are <0....
any help would be appreciated
thank you in advance
Well the latest version for this phone currently is Marshmallow, and there is a great mm n5 rom that is still a work in progress, but i reccomend downloading the full marshmallow restore tar file and using odin to update, then flash recovery, and then a rom of your choosing (currently the n5 rom or a version of cm13). But to flash a lollipop rom download the OK4 lollipop restore file (last version of lollipop 5.0) and do the same process.
hadn't heard much so i went ahead and downloaded an OK4 firmware and flashed with ODIN....works flawlessly setting up now
surprisingly enough,,,it kept all of my settings from MOAR.....hafta say that i am shocked.....gotta love Android
I recently rooted my phone to try and recover some deleted pictures after the phone completely crashed and wouldn't load up , I have tried to install an original firmware using Odin but I keep getting the same message about not being authorized . Am I installing the wrong files or am I not doing something thathat causes it to fail?
Where did you download the firmware? Are you sure you're using the correct version?
Are you on a G930T or a G935T?
I had the same problem on mine before, what solved it was downloading a later version of the firmware, as you can't downgrade just like that.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammbile. (I would link but I have less than 10 posts.
The T stands for T-Mobile, and the 930 is the regular, 935 is the edge. If you're not T-Mobile, you're in the wrong section, but I'm still glad to help once I obtain more information.

Always flash the most recent firmware becasue if you don't remember chances are you can flash an old version and run into issues, so to be safe flash the latest available firmware. Also when you first rooted did you change the CPU governor or run/install anything that could have caused the bootloop in the first place?

You can install this awesome rom to speed things up don't worry it's a stock rom so no Knox trip. The link I will provide also has instructions. So to get started I recommend making a backup of applications with titanium backup which might require the pro so unfortunately you may have to buy a full version( if you don't want to spend money you can patch the app with lucky patcher). And I recommend checking out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...stockdeodexeddebloatedrom-7-10-t3415952/page1
It is somewhat debloated and has the best speed I've seen yet... Ive been using it for a month now and I love it!
I was running Mokee 7.1.1 just fine on PB1 firmware... which was probably my first mistake. (not 100% sure) as of now
phone is currently G900V Kltevzw bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery, updated bootloader to PL1 w/SS
I'm having issues getting service when I flash a new rom most of them have no service i've messed with APN settings.
I felt I was a pretty competent user, i've come from flashing and rooting back from the original Moto Droid, I'd like to know what i'm doing wrong
as of now my phone is useless :crying: with no service so i reverted to my S4 lol
I'd appreciate any help and guidance to bring service back to my phone on MM or Nougat firmware which i have been running for a month or so
i don't really know how to help you but I have the same same s5 as your and running mookee 7.1.1 and my cell service still works i dont know if its a problem with the latest update and i have not updated to pl1....so maybe that may give a hint.

I ran across this once.. not from 7.1 (forget what I did actually) .. no spc / min / etc.. Odin flashed back to stock, problem fixed itself.. flashing through TWRP wouldn't do it.. after that had to go through the steps of unlocking bl / etc again.. on CID 15

Interesting... I may have to set aside some time to do that. What stock version did you flash? Since I'm on PL1 firmware would you think that make a difference as to what stock youre going to?
I'll have to do some more research as to how I should go about flashing stock then unlocking the BL again. Not sure if I can because of my updated bootloader..
I experienced similar issues with my g900v but mine was with texts being severly delayed and crappy service.. but atleast I still had service. I just finally fixed it this morning by completely flashing back to stock (PB1) and rerooting. I used this guide and started at the very beginning: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370/
Follow it and you should have your problems fixed.

If you haven't started yet, I found an easier "how to" here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...ewbies-guide-to-install-pb1-rom-root-t3481826
It includes all the info from the link I posted yesterday but also includes the steps to update to PF4, which I'm about to do right now. Hopefully the delayed text and crap service problems don't return with updating, if so I will post the outcome.

I've already ran a few different roms but haven't really found one I liked enough to stick with. I used Phoenix v15 for a few months then switched to the new 7.1 resurrection remix nougat ROM a few weeks ago. I'll probably go back to nougat unless I start having service issues again. Good luck
I'm still not getting either or one of the two data and cell service. SMS/MMS wont work. Still dont know what is wrong exactly. PF4 updated BL
Not sure if i need to flash a radio or something in odin to get service to work....
