This may be a bit of a noob question but I've been having so many issues with lollipop I want to go back to KitKat. How do I go about downgrading the boot loader, if it is even possible?
Any help is greatly appreciated. My device is the SM-T530NU

Dear Friends,
I'm using N9005 on this N9005XXUBMJ1 firmware and trying to flash to the newer firmware from other region N9005ZHUDMJ8.
However, I've been getting an error "ext4 img" in ODIN and now my phone cannot boot and stuck on the download mode. So I decided to flash it back to its previous version N9005XXUBMJ1 but still not success and stuck on the same loop.
I have tried doing the emergency recovery from KIES, but having another error "[about] Fused 2 > Binary 1" (on the following screenshot)
Can anybody help me on this problem? I really like the phone and I really need it back.
Thank you
I just solved the problem by myself, it seems that there is a problem with the bootloader on the MJ8 version or something, so I use the MJ6 BTU firmware instead and it works. phewww
Having the same problem...which firmware is MJ6 BTU?
TIA

I think MJ8 is from Hongkong 16GB Model.
Either way the knox warranty void has been triggered. You also have the new bootloader meaning recovery through Kies won't work until your country gets the new bootloader stock.. You are essentially stuck using another countries rom now until your coutry/carrier upgrades their firmware with the new bootloader...
Forget Kies recovery working if things go wrong...

To answer my own question, this is the BTU (United Kingdom) firmware file that saved my otherwise bricked phone which got the MJ8 HK bootloader:
N9005XXUDMJ6_N9005OXADMJ4_BTU.zip

It should be possible, but might fail, so in any case make sure you download both the latest Hong Kong firmware (MK1) and the MJ7 BTU firmware just in case it fails you can flash MK1 on top and your device supposed to work fine.

Shouldn't be any issues flashing KK via Odin. -- So long as your note is not a Hong Kong variant. (which yours appears to not be)

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.

I don't know much about modems and bootloaders but give this flashable CSC a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/samsung-note-4-sm-n910g-aus-csc-t3025921
Just remember to mount system in recovery before flashing.
Why would you use an INU version for an Oz device?

Hi guz,
I want to downgrade my NOTE 4 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I googled it and did show one of the thread on this forum using ODIN method for that. My problem is to find the correct firmware version for note 4.
My device info is given below
Model Number: SM-N910F
Baseband version: N910FXXU1DPB1
Build Number: MMB29M.N910FXXU1DPE1
Please help me on finding the correct firmware or suggest me on identifying the possible versions.
Thank you.
Go to sammobile and find the last released 5.1.1 firmware for your device.

Use any unbranded firmware mate, UK for example. By unbranded I mean try those which don't come with any carrier labelling, you know like O2 etc.

Yes, unless EE is a carrier name it should be unbranded.
Installing the EE firmware will also install EE's own remote phone locking software in the persdata partition (Which is a real pain to remove as it will keep coming back even if you flash a non EE firmware) as well as EE's bloatware.
Use the BTU firmware for a clean unbranded phone.

Downgrading on galaxy note 4
Hi....I just found your thread and wanted to know did the downgrade work in the end and what impact did it have on the phone. Did it improve? What were the reasons you decided to downgrade?
Thanks
