Pardon my many questions, but i don't want to encounter any problems.
I currently have D80210a-EUR-xx, stock, unrooted and i intend on upgrading to D80210f-EUR-xx
How can I do this the safest way? Will I be able to receive OTA updates in future?
Thanks in advance.

Hello guys,
I have a note 3 n9005 model I decided to update my firmware with the recently released Polish lolipop firmware using odin and everything was great, after 3 days of use it appears that lollipop is a bit laggy and sometimes hangs for a while that's why I want downgrade to Kitkat, also i would like to mention that I have updated the bootloader while flashing by ticking the update bootloader button in odin.
Now what's the possibilities of using odin again to downgrade to official Kitkat using one package file?
If not possible what if I have flashed a separate bootloader file then used odin with official kitkat is that even possible ?
Furthermore, I was thinking about rooting my Lollipop then flash a custom recovery and then wipe data and cache to install a flashable custom Kitkat.
My request is that I need someone experienced to confirm with me on what should I do without risking bricking my N3, I'm going to die with it if it's bricked
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Where is the great supporters ? Not even a one reply :crying:

Lolipop is rootable search the forum, and this not my question actually I'm asking what if i rooted it then installed a cwm based recovery to flash Kitkat, will this work or I'm risking for a brick or bootloop or any other problems?
If you have the right answer please answer it with prove, if not this thread is not for bored ppl that don't provide any fruitful feedback.

Hello!
I am currently running the latest Verizon of android 4.4.4 on my Verizon note 3. As far as I am aware there is no root for 4.4.4.
Is it possible to flash back to android 4.4.2, then perform one of the older methods of rooting?
Thank you for the assistance!

Unfortunately, No. From what I understand, Verizon has "blacklisted" older versions so the bootloader prevents flashing anything older than 4.4.4. I believe you can flash either of the current 4.4.4 ROMS, but that is of little help.

I can confirm this; just had this happen to me and trying to flash anything other than a 4.4.4 stock ROM failed in Odin.
I've been a customer of VZW for 14 years, and I'm so fed up with this locked bootloader war with them that I'm seriously considering jumping ship. Always been happy with everything except this locked bootloader BS.
Hi guys,i wanted to ask how to regain updates of my S5 G900F.Just make full unroot or i must also reinstall the recovery stock?
Thanks in advance for any response.
Once you triped knox theres no going back(no more OTA) as far as i know... i recommend to update ur phone and install latest OS from sammobile..
Dear All,
I have a P9 Lite VNS-L31C432V131. I unlocked the device, rooted it and installed firstly TWRP then Meticolous TWRP to have some advanced features. My objective is to update the OS to the latest Stock available (Android 6) while waiting for a stable LineageOS. If i check the Updater (OTA) I receive a notification that VNS-L31C432B151-FULL is available (approx 1.8GB). I have some questions listed below (I will try to be pretty tidy and clear so also other users can benefit for experts' answers. )
If I chose to use the OTA Update:
Can I update OTA with a Rooted and Unlocked Phone?
Is it relatively safe, or is better to avoid this procedure?
Am I going to lose the root?
Am I going to lose the Custom Recovery?
Am I going to lose the unlock?
If I chose to manual update without un-rooting and re-unlock:
Can I do it using TWRP? What is the procedure?
Is it relatively safe, or is better to avoid this procedure?
Am I going to lose the root?
Am I going to lose the Custom Recovery?
Am I going to lose the unlock?
Thanks a lot for your time,
CB
Hello XDA!
I've rooted my phone (the J5) about a week ago after finally deciding it might just help me to some extent.
Well, then I realized I'm still on Android 6.0 and updating obviously doesn't work.
This brings up multiple questions for me:
Is there any way to get the official update?
OR do I have to download it myself and flash it on?
Can I flash Android 7.1 on it without bricking the phone or losing all data?
Can I flash any firmware (or firmware updates) without losing any data?
If anyone could answer my questions, I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

You can't update your phone OTA whule it's rooted. If you want the new 7.1.1 stock you must flash it manualy over odin. If your phone is on stock 6.0.1 the manual flash will not erase any of your data or apps. If you are on a custom rom then it wil erase data. When you install nougat it will be unrooted and with stock recovery.

I understand that, but will it brick the phone or erase the data? The J5 is certainly not made for Android N.

I've used the CF AutoRoot package for the root. Does CF-AR install a custom ROM?
Thanks for the answers.

What version of the J5 2016 do you have? Only install 7.1.1 manualy on the J510FN.
A custom ROM is a software installed over a custom recovery that is totaly different from the stock rom.

Alright, I've got a J500FN, so the dream of Android N is gone.
I didn't use a custom recovery, I used Samsung's Download mode.
This is it. Thanks for your help, ya'll. I'm gonna upgrade to 6.0.1 manually now.

There is no official Nougat for your device, so don't ever try to install tge J510FN version ?????
But there is a ported stock nougat rom for your device on the J5 2015 ROMs section
