Downgrade to lollipop - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Any way to Downgrade to lollipop
i tried to flash lollipop by odin but fail
My phone : j700f

Hi.
This is is what I did.
Install TWRP, if you haven't, then install a CUSTOM lollipop ROM from this forum.
If you want stock lollipop, flash it via Odin - after flashing the custom lollipop ROM.
Good luck!

Not working

first flash stock MM then flash stock LL then flash custom LL

Try it again, and make sure that the auto reboot box and F.reset time box is checked in Odin Options

Make sure you flash your country frimware. Else it will fail in odin. And use latest odin.

Bro you need to download latest lollipop firmware
I had the same problem and it was solved by fresh firmware of latest date
Goodluck ?

Hello hoglak
I have a 920I and was also having the same problem.
I solved the problem flashing the latest version of the rom from SamMobile site.
After flashing the rom your TWRP should work.

Can you tell me which specific rom you tried i downloaded latest I can find for Aus rom but still having the same issue. Any chance give a step by step guide on what you did exactly.
Thanks in advance
I just used the New Zealand firmware.
I am from Brazil and with the orginal rom the same thing happened, im flashed the generic one and worked.
This one seems to be the general rom to Australia

I had the same problem. The latest firmware for unbranded (XSA) Australia on sammobile is AOC4. I had success with using the Singapore unbranded (XSP) firmware AOD1.
Flash AOD1 with Odin then you have stock everything. You should be able to flash TWRP 2.8.6.2 with Odin and boot successfully into Custom recovery.
You can either take two options from here.
Flash CF-Root and "just root" the stock ROM - Boot into Download (again) and then flash the CF Root.
Flash a ROM or a Mod which has Root included. - My first success was Wiping with stock recovery, flashing AOD1 clean with Odin, then flashing WanamMod on top of it as it included root.
Aussie G920i.
Hope this helps.

my current rom is custom stock debloated and deodexed from from Pavan. i don't know what is the CSC code of the rom but its based on J700MUBU2APF1
Try this
Download the ZTO MM rom.
Do a full wipe in TWRP.
Reboot into download mode.
Flash the MM rom via Odin.
You'll have to reinstall TWRP (Odin) and reroot (TWRP).

will try and will report as soon as i got free time to install.

Stuck on 5.1.1

I'm a rooted 5.1.1 J700M user with TWRP and basically I can't run any ROM i see in this forum, everything needs Marshmallow, those godly A5 ROMs which improve speed need MM too.
I tried going back to Stock Recovery and Firmware with Odin but failed, tried another thing by converting the zImage or recovery to a flashable with Odin too and failed again.
I'm a Lollipop 5.1.1 user how can go to 6.0.1, the update isnt even showing on the System Update, so i guess i must use a PC.
Please help on upgrading my rooted 5.1.1 TWRP J700M to Marshmallow
Go to www.updato.com and get an MM rom for your fon and region.
Flash with Odin.

I think you can flash this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-resurrection-remix-mm-5-7-0-t3414185 and then flash ROMS that require Android 6.0 , As it is saying that to install Resurection remix, it may be with Android LP, or MM,

Stock Recovery Odin fail sboot.bn

Im trying to go back to stock from rooted 5.1.1 with TWRP to stock but I get the sboot.bn error please help I'm using the correct firmware because I live in Ecuador and there are only two posible .tar.md5 files one 6.0 and one 5.1.1 which I'm using.
