I have Samsung (SM-G900FD) with Lolipop(5.0) and I want to root it without tripping the knox. I have been searching the internet for past couple of days and I have found a way. It involves, among other steps, downloading and installing the "towelroot" apk, but here is the problem. Towelroot method does not work with Lolipop and I have to downgrade the software to Kitkat(4.4.2), the software version my phone came with.
Once again I have searched thoroughly to find a way to downgrade to Kitkat and I came to the understanding that I need to download official KitKat firmware from sammobile and install it manually, but I don't know which firmware to download from the list that appears against my phone's model.
I have following questions:
1. How will I know which firmware to download from the list.
2. Once I have downgraded and rooted my phone, can I upgrade to android 5.0
Here is my device info,

Greetings and welcome to assist. Can you confirm which rom you are running ? something is not right, your product and bootloader are sprint which is a cdma device. We need to be certain before flashing a sprint rom

So simple put...it has a G920F firmware running on a G920V...and i wonder how.
So plss guyz...can anyone explain to me how posible is that...and AGAIN...a lasting solution to this on how i can i have a marshmallow flashed on it without any problems after that...and ALSO which of the variants Marshmallow firmware i can have on it...Cuz i dnt want to brick my device....

But it is a Verizon phone. Device type, and product name are zerofltevzw that's Verizon. Also, whatever it says in download mode, that's what model the phone is.

OK if I were you I would go to sammobile official site and download the official latest firmware for the Verizon S6. Also, I'm assuming you checked in adb by typing "adb" devices. To make sure the device is hooked up correctly.

Not really....and if i shud ask...what is it abt checking in the adb by typing "adb" devices....how is it done...
U have to have adb and fastboot installed. You just hook your phone up to the pc and open command prompt. Type adb hit enter, type adb devices hit enter. Should show your device status

@BobbyJanuaryBoy DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ANYTHING ON THIS DEVICE, EVEN ROOT!
Your phone is actually not "manufactured" by Samsung. It has Verizon motherboard, but the software inside is a firmware for international devices but modified to run with other motherboards (like Verizon), and a modified modem software and a unique IMEI & SIM lock storage.
You can only flash Verizon firmwares on it, BUT if you flash, your phone will be SIM Locked and you'll have some network issues due to unique IMEI & SIM lock storage and it is not revertable.

I'm pretty sure about that, sorry.
Same problem. Is it possible now to flash a Verizon Custom rom, without having any network issues?
Same here. I bought this phone few days ago and just discovered it was bootloader locked. Another thing is that I realised it kept on 4g signal even when the network drops to "edge".

- Csc bok7

Any help or advice would be welcome
Hi...
Plss i purchased a galaxy S6 32gb that has Lollipop 5.1.1. already on it. When i go to ''About Phone'' in the Settings, it displays that it's an ''G920V'' version. Also Download mode says the same, i have a G920V model. But when i decided to update it via ''System update'' in the Settings, it finds no new software update though Verizon has already released one. Then I came to realise in Samsug Phone Info App that Active CSC code is ''CHN / TGY'' (China CSC if i am not mistaken). Sounds weird right? Anyway.. I downloaded the Marshmallow 6.0.1 official updtae from Sammobile. Is there any risk bricking my phone or being SIM Locked if i flash via ODIN assuming there is something wrong with CSC code?
Plss guyz...can anyone explain to me how posible is that a Galaxy S6 Verizon has a Chinese CSC...and AGAIN...a lasting solution to this on how i can i have a Marshmallow flashed on it without any problems after that...and ALSO which of the variants Marshmallow firmware i can have on it...Cuz i don't want to brick my device....
