Any idea of downgrading to 5.0.2 from 5.1.1. I want to downgrade because, my 3G service has been stopped when I upgrade from OTA to 5.1.1.
Official downgrade via odin is not possible. Either you try to solve the issue on 5.1.1 by flashing different firmwares or you go for a custom 5.0.2 Rom.
never do that because 5.1.1 has updated bootloader which will cause problems if u flash downgraded rom
im not sure if u can downgrade bootloader version and how to do this .... but i think if u downgraded the boatloader u can flash 5.0.2
i have Galaxy G9200 HK
i success downgrade it from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2
1.first i downgrade kernel from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2 (made .tar archiwe with only boot.img this ROM http://rom.shuaji.net/rom/6783.html Pingpongroot possible)
2. Now Galaxy S6 is wiped
3. install from ODIN this rom http://rom.shuaji.net/rom/8085.html ( not working on it pingpong root)
For root need again install pingpong root kernel possible, root and again back to kernel from rom http://rom.shuaji.net/rom/8085.html
USE IT ON your responsibility & IF your phone no start or method don't working .you know how install back 5.1.1 from samsung smart switch!

Is it possible to flash this one: [ROM]-[S6.G920F] VN™ROM-S6-G920FXXU1AOE3 ??? This is 5.0.2.
Sure you can flash this. But keep in mind that Knox will be tripped.

You sure the link is safe? I've tried to use FireFox or Chrome but they both reported "The site contains malware" warning......
I doubt your 3g problem has anything to do with 5.1.1. Check the APN settings or go to a store.

My APN setting is alright. When I purchase this phone, my 3G was Ok but after one upgrade from OTA my 3G problem arises. So I think if I roll back to 5.0.2 my 3G problem will gone.

The update can be the occasion, but it's not the problem. You shouldn't accept your flagship phone to be stuck on 5.0.2. Just contact the shop you bought it form.

I'm also with HK G9200 and actually I want to go back 5.0.2 with pingpong root. Can you upload that kernel and rom on baidu cloud and share to us?

i can't verify account on baidu because i don't have chinese phone number but i have rom
G9200ZHU1AOF1_G9200ZZH1AOF1_G9200ZHU1AOF1_HOME.tar
and kernel from Lřđă SM-G9200 5.0.2 LRX22G.G9200ZHU1AOE4.tar
install first kernel from 5.0.2 it crash system 5.1.1
after that G9200ZHU1AOF1_G9200ZZH1AOF1_G9200ZHU1AOF1_HOME.tar
and again kernel from LRX22G.G9200ZHU1AOE4
now you must in pingpong boot actualisation in program and try root.
and after you success rooted you can back to kernel from G9200ZHU1AOF1_G9200ZZH1AOF1_G9200ZHU1AOF1_HOME.tar
for me it worked and i think you can find this roms on google or baidu.
http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/dj07iRfw/file.html < kernel from "Lřđă SM-G9200 5.0.2 LRX22G.G9200ZHU1AOE4.tar"
with that you need only "G9200ZHU1AOF1_G9200ZZH1AOF1_G9200ZHU1AOF1_HOME.tar" rom
hope it can help you.
I now have KNOX tripped, because i want use USB wifi dongle :]

Hi Guys I have a SM N915P and i got it updated on 6.0.1 but i want to iflash 5.1.1 on it. i downloaded the firmware from sammobile but i cannot just flash it Odin Says Auth Fail.
I have downloaded 6.0.1 aswell but the problem is that the version i have downloaded is N915PVPU4DPE2_N915PSPT4DPE2_XAS and the bootloaded i have is N915PSPT4DPF3
just wanted to know wether i should flash this one or it will brick the device? also the device is unlocked and i do not want to lock it again as i have no contact the original owner of the phone.
I have been Doing Rooting and other stuff from years not an expert though but this device is making me crazy, No Root No Nothing..
Hi,
I've one (big) problem that I can't fix.
I've been using Android 5.0.1 for more than 1 year as I didn't want to upgrade (it worked pretty well) and because I had the S6 rooted with PingPong root.
However, one month ago it started to run slowly, crashing apps, ... so I decided that, as I wanted to wipe the device, why not upgrade to MM (6.0.1)??, so I did.
I did a backup of all my data and EFS folder and downloaded a 6.0.1 ROM to flash it with ODIN. Everything went OK and finished flashing the rom, but when the S6 restarted it showed this in the recovery:
'dm-verity verificztion failed...
Need to check DRK first...'
And I cant boot.
I've tried some tips that are here and in other websites:
- I've flashed stock rom again
- I've flashed a stock rom without cache.img file.
- I Can't flash some files as I've R/L ON. (I've been trying to disable it for many months but I couldn't).
But the S6 doesn't boot...
Thank you!
What worked for me.
So this is my current issue, but i was able to resolve the issue you are having. so what i did was get the 5.1X OK7 (My phone is Verizon) firmware and flashed through ODIN 3.12.5, this flashed stock 5.1.1 in my phone and it worked good. however i have issue with my phone random restarts and power button not working in recovery or in rom. however i can go in and out of downloading mode or maintenance mode.

I tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 but I get an error.
(SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1)
That happens when you don't have the right firmware you have.
You CANNOT downgrade to 5.1 or 5.0 since you are on 6.0. The bootloaders refuses to be overwritten.

I'm trying to flash another 6.0.1 ROM (a bit older), but I get 'CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 4, BINARY:3'
I've read that DRK problems are related with EFS files, so... Can I restore EFS folder (I've a backup from Android 5.0.1) to solve?? I don't know how to restore it without booting into the sistem (and without custom recovery)
I am afraid that downgrade to 5.0.1 is not possible, at least I dont know anyone who succedeed in doing that.
If you were on systemless root, probably your Knox is still 0, check it in DL mode, if it is and you have the phone less that 3 yrs (1 yr warranty+2yrs factory warranty) best solution would be to ask in Samsung repair center if the factory warranty would be accepted (ofcourse dont mention flashing, just say you tried official update, and play dumb).
If not you can try custom kernel wich will bypass DRK, and prolly make the phone bootable, but there is no guarantee everything will work well (maybe it will, but mostly it doesnt, forget using Samsung pay, and KNOX tripped)
As for EFS, maybe I am wrong, but I think EFS contains IMEI and sn info, and DRK is something else.

Thank you for your reply!!
I had the device rooted, but with PingPong root, so Knox is still 0. However it shows that the system is "custom".
I'll try the warranty, they may not notice the "custom", just the knox.
I'm with the same problem when trying to flash stock BTU QA7..and only if i flashing cf_root my phone is booting.
Any idea? I don't care about the Knox..

If you are talking about DRK, the only way to fix it that I know of, other than hw replacement, is via 3rd party professional repair tool. (Octopus/Octoplus box)
If DRK is ok, phone boots normaly, if it is messed up, the only way of booting is with custom kernel which bypass DRK check.
You can check it in recovery, if messed up it will say DM verity failed on bottom of the screen.
Ok, i send my phone to fix, i will tell you what happened.

Thanks for your reply!!.
I took my S6 (925F) to a Samsung service center as you said. However, they told me that my S/N was incorrect (I bought a second-hand S6 edge, I think someone changed it) so they couldn't fix it.
Now I'm trying to use SmartSwitch to do a factory reset but it asks me for the S/N and I don't have the original one, just a S/N from a non edge S6 (920F). How can I do the factory reset without my S/N??? Can I use the serial number from another 925F??
Now I'm trying to find an engineering bootloader, to bypass the R/L and flash CF-AutoRoot, custom recovery.... but I only find it for 5.0.1 or... for galaxy S6 G925T, not F.
Finally, I managed to fix my S6 by myself!! (not really, but at least it boots...)
This is what I did:
- I found a factory binary for my S6 so I flashed it via ODIN
- I flashed a 6.0.1 ROM without hidden and without cache
Then it boots without any problems. However, now I can't get into recovery
I hope this will help someone
There seems to be a problem with Samsung Pay on my galaxy j7 2016 it won't work and the main reason for that I believe it is because my warranty count is now 1 instead of 0 even though i'm back to stock rom/recovery non rooted does anyone know how to fix this issue?

The device is a G930V. It's common to fake a G930F to sell it second hand.
You need to follow root guide for G930V

Ehhhhh...I think...sorry to say but you...just got an American Verizon model with a Snapdragon 820 SoC with a permanently locked bootloader. I think you can root it in a different way tho, but unless a miracle happens you will be stuck on the stock ROM forever, but it can be rooted. There is a method to root the SM-G930A but IDK if it works with the 930V model. Never knew people rebranded Snapdragon models as Exynos models, scary. Try asking for a refund or a real G930F with Exynos 8890 SoC, you got misled by the seller. If you already had it or got it from a close person then try to get an Exynos one. That rooting method kinda looks dangerous and involves flashing a bootloader. To clarify which model do you REALLY have, install Device Info HW from Play Store

Listen, NO ROOT will work for G930F because the phone is not G930F, someone has just flashed G930F firmware on the phone but the HARDWARE is G930V. Understand? You have been ripped off.
You first need to put G930V firmware back on the phone with Odin, the oldest version of G930V firmware you can find, not the lastest one.

That is not possible, you just can't flash an Exynos firmware on a Snapdragon model. Someone must've faked the info strings or something else. @Netcrying, can you tell me what the following fields say in Device Info HW?
SOC/Family
SOC/Instructions
SOC/GPU
SOC/Cores
SOC/Clusters
System/Platform
System/Fingerprint
System/Device
The SoC details can't be faked in software, so this may give us a clue of what it really is. I suspect it's a Snapdragon one though, but please post these.
