UPDATE **Lollipop** 5.0.1 & 5.1.1 for N915G TESTED & ROOT

alright to not make previous visitors of the post confused, i changed the old post color to red, the new update is in Black at the bottom
Now the big news we were waiting for, Lollipop is here for N915G
you can download it from sammobile.com
Model SM-N915G
Model name GALAXY Note Edge
Country Australia
Version Android 5.0.1
Changelist 4144270
Build date Fri, 13 Feb 2015 23:58:14 +0000
Product code XSA
PDA N915GXXU1BOB7
CSC N915GXSA1BOB7
MODEM N915GXXU1BOB7
i've tested this on one of my Note Edge N915G phones and now after two weeks i can totally confirm i've got no bugs and it's super smooth and amazingly beautiful.
it's not on my main phone only because Xposed doesn't support TW Lollipop yet.
also Xmodgames doesn't work on lollipop (yet) for people who use it, especially the Clash of Clan players.
ROOT:
Get the Latest CWM from HERE
go to Download mode and flash the CWM
download SuperSU from HERE
put SuperSU.zip inside your phone
go to Recovery and install the SuperSU
reboot. DONE
UPDATE:
as you may know 5.1.1 is available on sammobile mine is N915GXXU1COL2
everything works fine. i also installed xposed and wanam. (only custom made xposed works and needs recovery installing too)
ROOT for 5.1.1 :
go to download mode and flash the latest TWRP via Odin.
go to recovery mode and install BETA-SuperSU-v2.64
reboot. DONE
i attached both here to make it easier
GOOD LUCK

Nice!

Woohoo!

No... You need the right model version for your 915T.
If you flash this you will end up with a bootloop and, as the bootloader will be upgraded, no way to get back to your stock firmware...

Any SM-915G can flash this irrespective of the location.

OK, go to the TWRP site, download the latest TWRP for Note 4 TMO. I believe it's 2.8.5.0. Make sure it's Odin flashable. Also download the latest flashable SuperSU zip file, 2.46, and put it on your sd card.
Flash Twrp with ODIN, let it reboot. If prompted, DON'T root.....
Now go to TWRP recovery and flash SuperSU. Reboot...
You are now rooted, enjoy... - If you go to SuperSU and it says to remove Knox then allow it.
Simples...

Sorry what you mean "Note 4 TMO"? its a T-mobile version?

Should you wipe the phone prior to flashing this firmware or no cause its official?

That's because one cannot downgrade.
There is a downgrade guide, but it is for the I9505 only.
So I guess you're stuck with official lollipop roms, or maybe custom KitKat roms.

Wrong!
Because the Marshmallow rom is NOT official firmware.
As I said before, you are stuck with official Lollipop firmware. But you can use any custom roms you like.

No. Kernel is a different thing.
I think it's better for you if you flash a lollipop firmware.

Are you using the original Samsung cable to flash? Tried different USB ports and USB cables?

I find the s4 needs the original cable to flash via Odin. The s4 seems to be much more sensitive to USB cables than other phones I have used.

The problem was that he was trying to downgrade, not the cables and USB ports. He actually managed to do it but now his WiFi won't work.

I guess I was making my post as the op was editing his post.
I am not that familiar with the i9515 but I though the 9515 shipped with LP firmware.

N910 Bootlooping after changing from Cyanogen to Stock Poland ROM

Hello,
I own an N910C which was running RaymanFX's unofficial Cyanogen mod build 11.
Since its bugginess was too much for me to handle, I was eagerly awaiting for the stock MM ROM to come out and as you al know, as soon as the Poland ROM was released today, I downloaded and flashed it via Odin.
Bootloop.
Fellows over Cyanogen mod thread recommended to do a full wipe and try again. No luck again.
Can you think of anything to remedy my problem please?
Thank you.

Flash, through Odin, the last OFFICIAL Lollipop from Poland and after that the new MM.

- use recovery wipe "system,cache,data"
- then only odin flash .pit reboot,
- then odin flash OFFICIAL Poland 6.0.1,then use "recovery stock" factory reset.
end.

Good thread.
This subject is completely new! !!

Where is this thread you're talking about ?

if model n910c,pit is TRELTE_EUR_OPEN_SEA.pit https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6Olb7DrPq-aY1BmdXNrbVdNZ0U

Could we please confirm this procedure? As far as I know, tinkering with .pit files is hazardous if you don't know what you're doing.
Anybody ?

sure. odin flash .pit correct partition to flash stock rom. not lost or damage data.
from cm13 to stock Poland 6.0.1

Will try that, currently re-downloading 6.0.1 stock to make sure it has nothing to do with the file previously downloaded.

It does not have to do anything with a corrupt stock ROM file, trying CM 13 Build 11 now.

CM 13 Build 11 by RaymanFX and the latest Open GAPPS flashed, no bootloop, mobile is on.
Any ideas in light of this data ?

It's not a new issue. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/n910c-to-stock-rom-cm13-t3321132

"device does not have DRK please install drk first" error while rebooting into Stock ROM. Great.

Waiting for a few minutes, the phone goes into stock recovery. I accidentally press Power button, the phone reboots and it boots indeed, Poland stock ROM is here.
Weird beyond words.

Everything fixed.
I'd suggest the method suggested over here first: http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30397
If it fails do it all over again with the method yesteryearisoverhere linked to.

So what is the real way to go from cm to marshmallow? So i did not need to try the risky efs wipe? How? I have the fw 4parts from downloading and pit from sammobile

How to fix the DRK thing? Is it preventing to boot?

completely lost in the sea of threads > I need directions

Ok, I have got G900F and I know EXACTLY what I want, but cant find the threads of reference cause this has become ridiculous, so many versions of the phone, so many topics, so many threads that are basically the same ..
I have G900F with android 5.0, baseband version G900FXXU1BOJ3
1. I want to root it, is this thread ok ? >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699648
2. I want to ask if there is stock rooted marshmallow ? and if there is, should I OTA and then root, or some other way ?
question number 2 is unanswerable using search. both XDA search and google. You only get tangled in unneeded information and chaos. Please help me as I have lost 2 hours clicking links that I dont need ..

1.) Recommended way to root is to flash TWRP 3.0.2.0 (Custom recovery), then flash SuperSU from TWRP
You can also try flashing CF Auto Root with ODIN 3.10.7
http://download.chainfire.eu/397/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip
But that doesn't always work and can cause a soft brick, needing the stock ROM flashed again to fix
Or if you don't want to trip KNOX, downgrade to KitKat, root with an app called TowelRoot, then upgrade using an app called FlashFire iirc
2.) No, you need to root Marshmallow yourself, using the TWRP & SuperSU method
You can OTA upgrade to Marshmallow, Flash TWRP 3.0.2.0, then Flash SuperSU Systemless 2.72 beta (Or whichever beta is the latest atm)
If you're not bothered about KNOX, just flash TWRP and SuperSU
You can download the latest MarshMallow stock ROM for the G900F using a tool called SamFirm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Flash with ODIN

Ok, found out some other stuff in the meantime
1. I obviously dont have OTA option, and now I see that the version people flash via odin is not official, but Shri Lanka .. ? is there an actual oficial international version of 6.0 ?
2. I started following mega-thread for S5 and downloaded ODIN and started downloading CWM but I guess I should listen to you - I would root it with TWRP, I mean the version I am on now
I will wait for better reactions for 6.0 as I have read a lot of 6.0 feedback thread and people are complaining .. maybe noobs, but still.
thanks again man, you simplified it for me
will report once I root current version

If you are stock (Not rooted or custom recovery) you have OTA option
Otherwise set SamFirm tool up like this, and you'll get the United Kingdom Unbranded 6.0.1 (Change the region to whichever one you want)

I've been running 6.0.1 for a while now on my G900F, and I get better battery life (6-8 hours SoT) and much better performance
Easy enough to flash back to whichever ROM you want, the G900F is unlocked
Make a nandroid backup in TWRP, then you can restore that to exactly the way the phone was when you created the backup

sorry for double posting -
there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it << I get this
what now .. downgrade only solution .. ?
EDIT: scratch that, Im going to install MM then and try your method of rooting it

Galaxy S8 Fails to Flash Firmware In Odin 3.13

I'm trying to downgrade the software in the S8 to android 7 so that I can root it (root methods that I tried for android 9 haven't worked) and when in Odin, the original software fails to flash, I've tried a couple different AP files for my model and they all fail. Any suggestions?
Any help is appreciated.

It fails because you cannot downgrade bootloader, hence the Odin fail at boot.img. you must flash the current or newer BL unfortunately. Have you tried to flash twrp + magisk for root?

The effort put forth by Extreme Syndicate is great except some of the disclaimers aren't promising.
This method will work if you are on Android 9 Pie but will put you on Android 7 nougat. There is no root for Android 9 Pie
You will not be able to use normal magisk
You will not be able to flash custom rom like Lineage or any other AOSP roms
You cannot flash custom boot images or recovery images such as TWRP
The whole reason to root, in my case - any way, is to put a custom recovery on such as TWRP and then flash a custom ROM to get rid of the **** Samsung provides.

In my case, I just downgrade to 7 nougat rom, then couldn't do much, so I got to think. I just wanted to revived this sucker!
Plug it back to odin and reinstall the lastest firmware from sammobile.
I'm not an expert on any of this, but like a said just bringing back this sucker, im in peace.

I can't stand Samsung's software so I'm "glad" in the sense that I bought the phone for experimenting and not to use on a daily basis because if I had to use One UI daily I'd descend into madness over how much I can't stand it.
Having said that, attempting to root it, put a custom recovery and rom on it are very frustrating tasks when Samsung's Knox and other code gets in the way to the point of everything in Odin failing.
"Food for thought" - How can your device be "your" device when it clearly and evidently locks you out of doing whatever you want on it?
I'm not sure if there is a community for anti-bloatware but if there is I'm just as much a part of it as I am with right to repair.

Hi
I have a s8 sn-g50f on pie.
I want downgrade to stock rom 8.0
I try with latest odin 3.141 but is fail after 1 sec.
Wich excat fw i must dowload?
