Hello folks! Today I got successful in downgrading my Verizon s6 from android marshmallow to android Lollipop 5.1.1 but still there is no root for 5.1.1 too! . Many people need it, MM is a bit buggy lollipop is much more faster and battery life is good too for me at least. So your data is going to wipe and be careful about flashing with odin. I hope you are familiar with it if not google it. Many good guides are available. Don't forget to turn off reactivation lock if enabled.
1- flash OK7 firmware which is 5.1.1 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9jRsxJwh4klTEpMWFF4UkNSdXM/view
2- after flashing OK7 your phone will boot up but it will stuck at red verizon logo (Bootloop). now press and hold volume up & volume down + power button until a black screen appears with 5 options press vol down and highlight 2 option factory data and reset press home button.
Voila your are now downgraded at 5.1.1.!!
Everyone know it
This guide is for noobies.
So 5.1 don't have root either? What's the reason to downgrade then?

Will this trip Knox, and can I still get Ota updates flashing this?

This will not trip Knox, but may I understand the logic of wanting to downgrade, but wanting to get OTA updates? Then why are you downgrading? Root isn't permanent.
Ota updates simply for the reason in case I ever do decide that I want to upgrade to marshmallow again, I'm not downgrading for root, but to test if it'll improve my phones battery life as I've seen many threads state
Ok so I went ahead and did it but now my phone wants to update to MM again :/
Any way to disable the update?
Can i downgrade g920v 6.0.1 to OK7 ?

Go into bootloader mode, and click the green link in my signature to see the guide
for downgrading to 4.4.4, and may I ask why you decided to downgrade, the article warned you about that

I think your imei is erased..check your imei..*#06#
Hi guys!
I want to upgrade my MT7_L09 to lollipop I thought I could post here to see if there is anything special to do before updating.
My phone is rooted (Ifollowed a guide that I found on this forum) and when I boot the phone by pressing volume up and power button, I see the EMUI menu.
My phone never found the lollipop update so I am currently downloading it from Huawei's website. I want to update my phone and keep all the data I currently have on it.
Is there anything that I need to do before upgrading?
Thanks

I am a newbie here. I have a SM-N915A unlocked running 4.4.4. I am not receiving OTA. Can I flash a different carrier's firmware (like T-Mobile) by any method because I can't seem to find the AT&T stock ROM 6.0? If so, could someone please link the files required? I am comfortable with using Odin. Thanks for your time!

Nope Odin wouldn't even let it pass to get to the flashing state. Also there's no custom rom or root support for AT&T Anything so you're kind of stuck what they give you.

Now that I'm home from work here's a thread containing 5.1.1 Lollipop Odin firmware, just unzip and put it in the AP slot after you power off power back up holding home, power key and volume down.

Marshmallow is nice, but it takes away the grayscale powersaver to be turned on at any given time and only turns it on at a certain battery percentage...
I am trying to root and unlock bootloader of my S5 (G900V + EMMC 15). I have followed this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71202995&postcount=3
but i cant get past the first step. I am on stock MM firmware. After flashing first file via odin the phone reboots but shows no display but black screen. I thought maybe its because of my MM firmware version so i tried to downgrade and flashed 5.1 firmware but...get this... the thing got stuck at verizon logo.
Now i am just frustrated if i am ever going to be able to root this thing and unlock BL
Any help for me or someone else has faced same situation before...
