First you have to flash twrp and full wipe system,data,dalvik cache,cache
And download stock 5.1.1 lollipop firmware
And flash via odin and enjoy

[Q] Cm12 firmware mandatory after Lolipop OTA

Do i have to flash the cm12 firmware for 5.1.1 roms? I have the OTA update and running on 5.0.2?.
Yes, Each 5.1.1. ROM thread states that you are required to flash the latest firmware (otherwise you might get bootloop, flash errors).

Downgrade to lollipop

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 ?

Marshmellow firmware

I know there is a marshmallow update. But is there the actual firmware needed to unbrick? Or do you have to use the lollipop then install the update?
I have the j700t from t-mobile
I rooted installed twrp followed the instructions to wipe so I don't corrupt the data folder but it happened anyway so I have to try again..
Thanks for any help and links

Just download a stock frimware that had MM update or download the frimware that is already in Marshmallow then flash it via odin, then repeat the rooting process
Then Congrats yur J7 is in android MM n it's rooted

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,
