SM-910S Problems in rooting and also flashing a stock rom - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I recently trying to root my device. I try different methods like Cf-auto root even installing a zip on recovery method but both gives me a bootloop that requires me to reflash my stock firmware. My device is currently running lollipop. Also I can only flash stock firmwares lollipop same version or higher but not a downgrade like lollipop to kitkat because I try to downgrade it to kitkat and odin give me a red fail indicator and on my device downloading mode said SW Rev Check Fail fused 2 Binary 1. Can someone determine the problem or is there something that can i do?
Thank you so much !

You should search this forum, there are some thread already discussing about this problem + solution.
You most likely are using 5.1.1 Stock Lollipop which is "can't" be rooted unless you flash custom PERMISSIVE kernel.

No one discussed about this note 4 variant regarding to my problem. My note4 is SM-910S the korean one. I think it blocks everything i can't even root or reflash it to kitkat stock firmware.

First : Have you tried flashing custom permissive kernel?
It's a known problem to root ANY 5.1.1 Lollipop regardless of handset

You are right, custom kernel for the variant is nowhere to be found on XDA. I can PM you the link of the custom kernel I'm using, tho

Hi,

I don't use custom ROM but I do use custom kernel. However, the dev requested it not to be shared (I think he also isn't an XDA member). Sorry I can't help.

I mentioned in another thread that I tried to flash official German firmware on my aussie G model and it failed in Odin, not sure why. Phone is fine though, it failed at the beginning of the flash so it didn't modify any of my software.

[Question] N900l of Samsung note 3(Korean Variant LGU+)

I've gone searching many threads in this section of XDA. search all possible compatible ROM's and Recovery.
Is there a working Recovery for Samsung Note 3 N900l 5.0?
Is there a working ROM for N900l? i searched and saw Darklord S6 is compatible.
but i want to try a CM12 ROM from Temasek.
and what is KNOX? 0x0? 1x0?
My previous Smartphone(LG-D838) has a poor a android development.
Every reply would be very much appreciated!!
Thank you

"My previous Smartphone(LG-D838) has a poor a android development"... and the NEW one too
For recovery, you can use the hlteskt/n900s version, which is compatible.
Unfortunately, there are no custom ROMs for your variant,
yeah, most likely i have this really BEST luck with me for smartphones that i really do need to suffer.
Darklord S6 ROM was compatible to my phone, but the CM12 has no reply if compatible with my model.
is there a way for me to use CM 12 since my previous phone also has no update for CM12

If you use CM, or any AOSP-based ROM, you won't be able to do voice calls or text messages. That's because of how the LGU+ network is set up in Korea, and your variant is built specifically for that network.

I don't know about Darklord, but I doubt it will work. Make sure you have a backup and stock ROM ready, if you do try it, though.

what is bootloader anyway?
i installed CF autoroot and installed CWM n900s version using flashify.
i cant go on recovery at first using vol up +home+power then i use flashify reboot on recovery then it went bootloop.
after that i installed again the cwm n900s version kk via odin3 and it went ok but the system.ui crashed when i turn on my device.
i go to cwm recovery and wipe cache hoping to fix the problem then the system.process(i think) not responding and displaying black only.
i really want to fix the phone without wiping or factory resetting but panic comes first to me.
now it is ok.
Thanks, just sharing my really scary exp. its my first bootloop.

New OTA update - BuIld LMY47X.G928CXXU2A0J5 blocks recovery and root on G928C

Guys I have a G928C model which just received an OTA update of some 150MB. I can confirm that it is a fresh update which came today.
After updating I tried flashing custom recovery following the method mentioned on [HOW TO] Rooting Flashing Custom Recovery & Kernal thread. Odin fails to flash recovery, stock recovery remains. Other two images are of me trying to flash the older stock rom which gives another strange error.
Please help me out.
Did you enable the option oem unlock in developers options?
OEM unlock and usb debugging were on
MD5 of the files were ok? I assume you have the kernel/recovery specifically for your device.
No issues with MD5, kernel or recovery. Was running the device with custom recovery,kernel and root before i went back to stock and updated it OTA.
It is mentioned a few times that J5 is NOT downgradeable, so no chance to go back to you old rom!
and, if i remember right, it also has been mentioned that J5 blocks custom recovery! search in the general section!

To fix the boot loop just re-Flash stock ROM (but no root yet)
Then find & flash custom PERMISSIVE Kernel for your Note 4 type if you are still want to be rooted.

you are facing a locked bootloader as we all are (both exy and snap) the only solution to fix your bootloop is to install apps like phone info then find out what your phone PDA version is then find the exact PDA from Sammobile or if you you are Having an 910C flash latest COJ5 rom or if you are on 910H try installing COJ4 rom (just download and install the latest frimware from sammobile or ... and you will be just fine )
Hi,
I already have a same problem with you, but i can through this..
you just find the right Firmware, its mean the latest firmware, try to download from sammoblie.com and find firmware for N910K picked the latest one. or folow this link : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/58333/N910KKTU2COJ5_N910KKTC2COJ5_KTC/
after download you just flash via Odin.
goodluck

Yes you can flash miui over 5.0.1 but i highly recommend that you make a efs backup before flashing, because downgrading to kitkat may erase your efs.
Happy Flashing.
Thanks @RubbaBand
I made a backup of everything,not taking any risks
But when i started to flash miui it showed a binary error

Try updating your custom recovery,
Binary is related to the zip file and recovery, so the problem is on one of them.
