Could be the reason of a borked update. I suggest to update to the latest 5.1.1 or perform a factory reset.

yeah, 5.0.2 was better, i am regretting updating my phone...but the ram is better on 5.1.1.....

Me too! There's a big scrolling problem with 5.1! It's like the phone doesn't know at what speed it should scroll.

i am noticing another bug, when someone is calling me, i drag the green circle to the right, it shows the in call screen but you cannot do anything and the call haven't been answered, then 2 seconds later it returns to the screen when someone calling you again....you have to do this 3 times to answer correctly....

Downgrading Note Pro 12.2 Verizon from 5.1.1 to 4.4.2?

HI,
I've updated the Verizon version of the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and I really don't like it. There's too many instability issues that I haven't seen before! I rely heavily on the S-Note and it keeps crashing on me after a few minutes when it is opened up. I can write for a bit but then it just stops working and brings me back to the home screen. The other problem is the SD Card. I never had an issue with it before, but I am now! Sometimes it goes missing when I go into a file manager looking for a document. And it occasionally freezes up!
Oh, and the best part? I like the fact that Samsung has added the "Galaxy Apps" in this Lollipop version like it is on my Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F), BUT IT'S ALL IN DUTCH LANGUAGE!!!
And this is suppose to be an American model with the preference language set US English?? Go figure...
I never had this problem before with KitKat 4.4.2, and I want it back!
Now I've tried using ODIN 3.10.7, 3.07, and 3.09, but I can't get it to connect. It keeps saying "added!! removed!!" when I try to use Home-Volume Down-Power" to reboot in Odin mode.
So does anyone have any suggestions on how I can downgrade?

Did you use the OTA 5.1.1 version that was pushed out by Verizon? I took it last week and this beast is way more stable, no crashes, the SD Card works properly (I have a 128GB card) and no language problems. Try resetting your tablet and getting the OTA (again).

No, I didn't get it by OTA. I did it through KIES. I'm an American ex-pat living in the UK for the past few years and I had this shipped to me from family back in Florida. It doesn't seem that the OTA would work at all and the only way I could get the update is through KIES.
As for resetting, that's what I was trying to do. When I do a "factory" reset, it puts 5.1.1. back on again plus the Verizon repair app is not giving me any joy since it's doing the same and placing lollipop 5.1.1, which is why I'm going through ODIN mode to place the original ROM back onto it that I've downloaded from SamMobile's website. However, as I mentioned, Odin on all versions are giving me "ADDED!! REMOVED!!".
What I really find so strange is that the Verizon Update/Repair app will re-flash with no problem; but when trying to use Odin, it won't connect. Can someone give me a clue on what's going on with that??
It would also mentioned I'm using Odin on Windows 7 64 bit and I've used separate computers so that the drivers for KIES and Verizon Update App doesn't clash, yet I'm still getting the same messages from Odin.
OR am I missing something else??
By the way, Sammy's Galaxy Apps is still in Dutch!!

Did you ever get this figured out? I, myself, am having a terrible time with the lollipop upgrade on my 905V. I've tried to ODIN back to 4.2.2 with no luck. ODIN fails every time I try to push one of the older versions to the tablet.
I am like you where I had to use ODIN to upgrade to 5.1.1. I was rooted and I had done a few other things which required me to factory reset a couple times after using ODIN to install an original factory package.
It is possible we are S.O.L. There is simply no DEV support for a device few people have, I don't expect much.
My only shot to try next is to see if putting one of the older versions in a specific folder will give me an option in Kies to revert back.
There is always a chance someone will come along with the answer we need.

Lollipop haywire
I to have the Verizon Note Pro and recently did the update to lollipop and is having a horrible experience... The system seems to be unstable all my apps are crashing a lot... Ive tried to revert back to 4.2.2 using Odin as well but no luck. Ive factory reset numerous times... Ive even reinstalled lollipop several times, with no luck. If any one has any insight on what this problem is or have anyway of going about fixing the crashing, please let me know...

Has this ever been figured out? When I first got my NP 12.2 on verizon I rooted it, but then I OTA updated it, like a dummy, to 5.1.1. I want to flash back down to 4.4 or whatever version it WAS so I can root 4.4 then update to a 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 rooted rom. * Any help would be appreciated.

In the same boat
Any help on this? I would really like to downgrade my NP12.2 to Kitkat to root it.
I pretty much a novice to Android, but have 20+ years with PC and MAC. This doesn't seem like it should be that big of a deal. Thanks for any help!

Can't load firmware on Odin phone bricked

I recently rooted my phone to try and recover some deleted pictures after the phone completely crashed and wouldn't load up , I have tried to install an original firmware using Odin but I keep getting the same message about not being authorized . Am I installing the wrong files or am I not doing something thathat causes it to fail?

Where did you download the firmware? Are you sure you're using the correct version?
Are you on a G930T or a G935T?
I had the same problem on mine before, what solved it was downloading a later version of the firmware, as you can't downgrade just like that.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammbile. (I would link but I have less than 10 posts.
The T stands for T-Mobile, and the 930 is the regular, 935 is the edge. If you're not T-Mobile, you're in the wrong section, but I'm still glad to help once I obtain more information.

Always flash the most recent firmware becasue if you don't remember chances are you can flash an old version and run into issues, so to be safe flash the latest available firmware. Also when you first rooted did you change the CPU governor or run/install anything that could have caused the bootloop in the first place?

You can install this awesome rom to speed things up don't worry it's a stock rom so no Knox trip. The link I will provide also has instructions. So to get started I recommend making a backup of applications with titanium backup which might require the pro so unfortunately you may have to buy a full version( if you don't want to spend money you can patch the app with lucky patcher). And I recommend checking out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...stockdeodexeddebloatedrom-7-10-t3415952/page1
It is somewhat debloated and has the best speed I've seen yet... Ive been using it for a month now and I love it!

S5 Rooted with safestrap and running 4.4 RicksRomV19.5. Need to update to fix issues.

Edit, Sorry, Can this be moved to Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I need a little help.
My wifes S5 is rooted via safestrap running on RicksRomv19.5. It seemed to be working great since I purchased it about 2 years ago. Well recently her phone won't come out of 3g, and then her phone keeps randomly turning off and when it restarts it shows a significant loss of battery. I tried replacing the Sim card to no success, it stays in the "Please wait well your phone is being activated." Never completes. So I put the old one back in and it works without 4g. I'm wondering if the Rom and Modem are causing issues being that its still 4.4. I have a replacement battery on the way just in case thats the issue. I'd like to try updating it to 5.0 or higher and upgrade the modem to see if it fixes any of the mentioned issues. I'm fairly capable of flashing and upgrading roms but havent followed any of the S5 stuff since I still use a Note 3. What do I need to do to get it upgraded? Thanks

Boot loops on recent update.

About 3 weeks ago I updated to the current stock firmware and since then I have gotten stuck on the tmobile splash screen about once a week. The only fix for this has been a factory reset... Not entirely sure what's going on here or how to fix it but this is getting really old. Has there been any other reports of problems like this with the current firmware?
My wife is using the phone and at work so I can't give the exact firmware right now, just trying to get some idea of what I could try.

My 7.0 nougat on my s6 stopped the phone from charging. I got around it by flashing Dr ketans note 5 rom. It's touch wiz based so you keep your samsung goodies plus get some tweaks. It's very stable. Just remember to flash the call audio fix zip. Download odin and twrp for your device. Put the zip onto your device. Wipe dalvik/sysyem/cache/data from twrp then flash the zip. Your photos and files on internal storage will stay. But your apps will not.
