Android downgrade - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before I take the plunge to a MM ROM is it possible to go back afterwards (downgrade to 5.1)? I am leaning towards yes because it's a Moto device.... unlike samsung which doesn't allow that....? Could somebody confirm? Thank you in advance

yes you can ..if you are rooted it'll be much more easier to downgrade just by restoring the backup. otherwise you have to flash the whole stock lollipop firmware manually.

Wouldn't that method put knox to 0x1? Or am I mistaken. And couldn't he try using towelroot, depending on the version hes on?
He doesn't have a Verizon phone. He has an international model or at least that is what he listed. Not everyone can go up and down firmwares like we can.
You are right though. He could try towelroot first.

The full instructions here should help. The only difference is that you need the kernel/firmware for your specific s5 version.

Your questions would be safer answered by someone on the Galaxy S5 international forum but I found a couple of things. Use with caution as I don't know anything about your device.
Here is a link on how to upgrade to lollipop if you are interested. Also, this custom recovery (CWM) was in the same link. I believe you might have an unlocked boot loader so you are way better off than we are.
I also found this:
Backup device
Quote:
Step 1. Boot into recovery(hold the menu button and volume up button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)
Step 2. Select the backup button and confirm backup

Guys, there are already at least 2 other threads asking for this. Please search before you post.
It is being worked on and one way or another, someone will get it and post it either in the General thread or development thread if it is a zip by that point. Just like with root, be patient and just make the best of what you have for now; we are all in the same boat and probably want to accomplish the same things :good:

Partition layout has been changed in Lollipop and you can't simply go back to KK.
Rooting L is not an issue, just wait for a working recovery.

I'm really not sure if s-off can help to reorganize the partition layout.
Some people already did the s-off, may be someone can try.

Custom Rom Question

Okay so I have a rooted s7 edge G935A on QC2 with android 7.0.
Now my question is, is there a way to flash a custom rom with flashfire and maybe flash a kernal or something with Odin. Or how would that all work out? If you could tell me or link me to a guide for this that would be appreciated.
Thank you.

As far as I know the custom rom can only be in flash via twrp. And it looks like your bootloader is locked. So there is no twrp for that type (for now)

Do you think anyone could make a custom ROM for the G935A and make it so we could flash it with flashfire? I know there is the echoed rom but that is only for marshmallow and I'm on 7.0. Is there any developers I should talk to about making a nougat rom, or should I just wait.

Well i'm not sure since i have exynos version. Better follow the tread and ask some questions there

Unrooting with custom ROM

Hello ROMs geeks,
Can I unroot my device N9005 while it have DarkLordN5.RC2.1.SamsungViet.vn ROM?
I don't know if that is applicable or not?
If Not?
In this case I guess I have to go back to the Stock ROM (I'm supposing so), in this case where can I have Stock ROM taking in your consideration that SamMobile.com removed all the links from the internet because SamMobile.com selling it! so I will be gratfule if someone share it with me please (that in case if unrooting can not work with the custom rom which I mentioned above)
Thank you in advance
MS.
Yes depending upon method to root used read methods instructions to unroot .
Plenty of other sources of firmware and Samm do not as you say sell it .

use unSU by osm0sis and see if it do the trick
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
if it doesnt, use uninstall option on what root method you use
if it still doesnt work, flash another kernel(should be compatible with the rom youre currently using), or just install another rom(backup important stuff first) without root or go back to stock

You can download the firmware on "Samsung Firmware database" https://samdb.org/
and flash with Odin
Create an account, is better
