[Q] SM-N9005 Bricked.

Hi guys. I edited build.prop file and my phone not working. Download mod and recovery mod is working.
My problem fix after install stock rom or i can update stock build.prop file ?
I'm sorry my english is not too good. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
Assuming you are rooted there are 3 things you can try:
1.Download a Stock rom from Sammobile and flash it through pc odin.
2. Recover a previous CWM backup if you have one.
3.Download a custom rom, put it in your external sd card and flash it through CWM recovery.

Well did you keep ANY KIND FORM OF BACK UP TO RESTORE BEFORE GOING TO LOLLIPOP?
If not,
1. Returning to stock will bring you back to Stock KitKat ROM.
2. Back up your data and pictures to the cloud or Hard Drive.
3. Download your .kdz file using your IMEI from www.lg-firmware-rom.com
4. Like @raulx222 said, Return to Stock Firmware.
5. CREATE A NANDROID BACKUP.
6. Install your desired custom KitKat ROM.

Give more info please. When you flashed lollipop, which ROM you flashed? you flashed other files too?
Anyway, flashing the stock firmware is almost any time a way to solve the issues ..You could backup your files from TWRP via MTP and then flash the stock firmware. You also can backup your files with TWRP using a usb flash stick and a OTG cable.

restore to kitkat
Hello just flash this attached file in recovery. After that flash jb bootloader for d802 and baseband and recovery you use for roms you use. Everything will work
Btw the zip contains stock kk 20H partitions you need to restore. Simplerom to work on lollipop modify this partiton on your device to be as f320 model in some areas to get lollipop booting
Tell me did you make it boot

[Q] after odin is it normal to have files already here????

the sdcard contains my files and had already installed some extra programs like copilot

[Q] edit stock firmware?

hi i want to ask if i can edit this
Code:
I9505XXUHOB8_I9505COSHOC2_I9505XXUHOB8_HOME.tar.md5
stock firmware and add my system settings from a twrp backup file ?
the reason of this is cause i am flashing and testing a lot of roms and i want always to return on my working one with minimum effort cause for example if i want to try a 4.4.2 rom and i am on 5,0,1
i flash the 4.4.2 recovery and modem then the rom and then if i do the same for the 5.0.1 sometimes i get a soft brick and i have to reflash the above stock.
thanks

The easiest method is this:
- Extract boot.img from firmware (Using 7-Zip).
- Put boot.img inside the custom kernel zip file and replace the custom one with stock.
- Put it on your phone and flash it.
Don't forget to wipe boot and dalvik before flashing.
