Thanks for this. I'm still on renegade. So glad to have a 7.0 rom for my edge. I guess I've got some studying to do as it's been almost 2 years since I originally rooted my phone. Now to re-learn how to Odin to 7, re-root, and get twrp going again.

Pattern and pin both work ok. Never use password. The only thing I I've found so far is trying to click on Samsung cloud in settings causes it to report that it's closed. It seems to be working though since I logged into shealth. It just force closes from the settings menu.

It's pretty awesome! I'm sure more people will find out. I was still checking the forum once every 2 or 3 weeks and hoping. I always run without a contract so I have to wait on phones till the price gets resonable.

Sure do. Tried the QE2 and QC7 files in @koop1955 's big post, but both get the same error. I imagine because I'm on S6 Edge, not just S6?
Although, now it looks like he's working on a new rooting method, so maybe I should hang back a bit for now anyway.

Thanks for this, very helpful. I'm in a similar state from the guy above, currently running Renegade OJ7 v1, my kernel is 3.10.61-S6_UniKernel_v9-0000_beta, baseband version G925PVPU3BOJ7 and TWRP 2.8.7.0 with the most recent version of SuperSU.
My question is: should I bother with updating the kernel as well as flashing the TAR you linked to, or is just the TAR good enough? After that, should I mess with TWRP or leave it alone? Once I get that done, if I'm looking for a clean slate, should I just wipe all partitions and flash the ROM? If you can answer any/all of these it would be hugely helpful for a guy who doesn't do that much flashing and can't swing $800 on the new S8 right now.
Thank you!

I still have my edge and am running this. All I can tell you is you have to update to nougat first (flash the tar I think). It's been a long time since I did it. Once my phone was updated to the new firmware I then installed twrp and flashed the rom. That's about all I can remember. In my case it got hung in a boot loop and I had to flash a second time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Any chance you can let me know which kernel you're running? I get a lot of lockscreen crashing on my existing one and wondering if there isn't a better one available.
edit: looked and realized there's a kernel included in the zip, my bad! thanks again!

Kango Root
Works on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and on Window 8.1 64 RTM. My S4 was previously rooted using the method for MF3.
So I did this. Gave me root. Awesome. I then put Safestrap on my phone. I made a Rom-slot. Can I then install the MDL odin file after activating the Rom-slot?

I suggest you take as much time as needed to read all of the "pinned" threads in the General and Q & A sections. Then, if you can't get your phone to boot, or if your stock recovery doesn't work, take the phone to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience booth and try to get them to re-flash stock MF3 for you. If you read the threads and get Best Buy / Samsung to re-flash it for you, you should be OK. If you decide to not do the reading, I suggest you don't do anything to the phone except use it as AT&T intends you to use it. Good luck.

Yes... it also enabled video calling and wifi hotspot for me. The tethering/hotspot menu setting is not there, but the dropdown notification settings can have the hotspot setting added. Havent tried the video calling feature. Also the dialer codes do not work in the ##DATA# format.

Yes you can downgrade... but is has its pros and cons. It is not the same as the sprint ota. It has its pros and cons. Some of which I mentioned above. I used Odin to flash the file, but had to delete the MD5 extension for Odin to acknowledge it.

Man I didn't even see your post above. Is the battery life improved when going back to it? Ever since PD3 my battery life hasn't been the same.
I haven't charged my phone fully since yesterday, but it certainly hasn't gotten any worse. The icon for LTE has changed to a 4G icon with this downgrade. Thank you for the link uploaded by iBowToAndroid, its great to have hotspot working again.

I think it's the 2nd. So the first OTA. I'm not sure you can downgrade though, that's why I was asking @iBowToAndroid

STOCK_DOWNGRADE_G935P_PC5.tar
The first firmware that came with the phone. When the s7 edge friends released?

Its not the firmware that came with the phone originally. It's the first OTA. I downloaded it. It's only the AP. No BL, CP, or CSC. So those will still be from PD3. I installed it via Odin and am setting the phone back up right now. So far everything is working ok. Would be awesome to have the bootloader and everything else that goes with it, but if it works it works!

I haven't been able to successfully downgrade to PB5. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

The link I posted above is legit. I cannot get the PB5 firmware to take, I keep getting bootloops, but the uploader has had success downgrading all but the bootloader.
The PC5 package totally works though. Bootloader and all. I just successfully Odin'ed all 4 tars back to PC5 and will remain on PC5 until Samsung and Sprint can get their heads out of their asses when it comes to the poor battery life introduced with the PD3 update.

Nice! Thanks for the find!
And got a bootloop on the PB5 firmware too. I'm assuming it's a corrupted upload.
Does anyone else have PB5 that we can download? I'm aching for my hotspot back. Thanks!

I suggested that to the uploader and he's convinced the file is fine. Who am I to say, I guess...
Not sure of the validity of this link, but I just found it.

Yeah I've tried that link. Can't download from there without paying. Apparently the Free Version is only a max of 2gb files, and that one is 2.13gb...

Will it be fine to go back to PB5 fill stock using Odin To Flash Back? Or will it fail?

The AP, CP, CSC files all flash fine, the BL will not. And you may get bootloops. I haven't seen anyone other than the original uploader get it to boot up properly.
I am trying to flash the phone to an unlocked rom, however i think i dont have the correct files. I also cannot get it back to what it was either.
I am trying to unlock it from verizon and make it so i can use it on AT&T. I'd much rather use this phone (Samsung Galaxy Note Edge) than what i am currently using. (An Alcatel phone).
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
There are no unlocked Roms that turn Verizon Samsung phones into unlocked phones. Put the original ROM back on the phone and have the phone unlocked properly.

You can use Samsung Kies and restore the phones firmware or go to SamMobile.com and download and flash the phones forward with Odin. If that doesn't work, I'll do it over the internet for you but will take a long time to flash over the internet

ok i am downloading now from sammobile.com....its saying its gonna take 2 hours to download. i will report back once i am done flashing to this rom.
