Hi,
I'm selling my S5 so I need to remove the ROM that installed from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
and return to stock. Can someone point me to instructions for this process?
Thanks.
Stock ROM for the model number of your device
Odin3 tool.
Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver.
Charged rooted or non rooted Samsung galaxy S5.
USB cable and Windows PC
Backup your important data before flashing, in case of this process corrupt your data. [important in downgrading] Download stock ROM file (make sure you download the right FW for your phone's model number) from SamMobile or Samsung-Updates and unzip it only one time (the extracted firmware file has *.tar.md5 extension). Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver (Link below) Download Odin3 tool and unzip it (Link below) Close Samsung Kies and disconnect any device connected to USB ports of your computer.
Run "Odin3" as administrator.
Click on PDA button (AP if you are using Odin3 v3.09) and navigate to the *.tar or *.tar.md5 firmware file (it will take a few second to check firmware file, if you are using Odin3 v3.09).
- If the Zip file contains more than one *.tar file then they will be labeled with PDA, Phone and CSC. Put them in the corresponding section of Odin3
Shut down your device and make sure it's completely off. Put your device into download mode by pressing and holding (Volume Down + Home + Power) buttons then Press Volume up to continue.
Connect your galaxy S5 to PC using USB cable and wait until you get a sign in Odin (ID:COM section) and "Added" in message box. Make sure re-partition is NOT MARKED[very important]
Click Start and wait a few minutes until you see "RESET" or "PASS!".
If your device stuck in bootloop, factory reset it from recovery mode.
Instructions were taken from wolfdroid, i followed them an installed the stock rom on my s5.

1)To be say honestly downgrading is not officially supported by Samsung also But yes you can successfully downgrade to 6.0.1 from 7.0 (I personally downgraded to 6.0.1 once successfully due to issues on stock 7.0)
2)You only need to follow the guide as instructed carefully Also the version of 6.0.1 MM you will choose to downgrade to should be latest dated (I mean the latest 6.0.1 firmware for your device and country available on Sammobile.com casually)
3)Hence you can find some instructions within my own Post in which i mentioned step by step installations instructions (Go To Page No 65 And Find My Post In Reply To Okiera29 There Regarding Downgrading To MM From Nougat)

Ok thank you for your reply, I understand. I also had some trouble with drk verity fail issue when I factory reset because I run into issue with my efs, it was failing to boot ,but after searching the internet I found out how to fix the efs issue and then I flash stock over and then run into trouble with drk verity fail issue, but found a script to bypass this error ,but I read that whenever I flash or factory reset I will run into this drk verity fail issue again, so I must flash this script to bypass this error.
So my question after all i have explain is, will it be a problem to downgade to 6.0 because of those previous issues ?

1)Can't say exactly without trying or downgrading firmware as i said already neither samsung nor any community will officially support downgrading of firmware as it may cause various baseband and imei related issues due to downgrading of bootloader
2)But for safety you can take full Nandroid backup of your current stable rom using TWRP and Try to downgrade firmware at your own risk
Regards

What version of Smart Switch offers initialization for SM-N920C Note 5's? The latest version doesn't include initialization anymore at all, and an older version I tried stated that initialization was not supported for Note 5's.
All right, I'll see what i do.
Thank you very much.
I tried following method and it got completed successfully. Also root checker, Root Checker Advanced, Root check apps showing device is rooted successfully.
Link followed: unable to paste you tube link as I am new user. Please check "How To Root Samsung Galaxy J5 (SM-J500F) Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow EZ Rooting!" in youtube
Steps completed
1. Downloaded odini for the model SM-J500F from (first option from search results of CF auto root)
2. Unzipped the downloaded file CF-Auto-Root-j5lte-j5ltexx-smj500f.zip to the PC
3. Enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging in developer options
4. Switched off my mobile, entered into Download mode->Volume Down+Home+Power Buttons and clicked on continue
5. Connected phone to the PC and opened odin (Odin3-v3.10.6.exe), It showed the message added
6. Selected AP Button then Browsed for the TWRP Recovery file (CF-Auto-Root-j5lte-j5ltexx-smj500.tar.md5) selected it. The option to disable auto reboot was not here. Also it was not requested in the above youtube link.
7. Clicked the Start button and Odin rooted the Samsung Galaxy J5 with that rooting file. It was showing the steps in phone properly as showed in video. And odin showed pass after some reboots. Opened SuperSu which is also got installed with the above steps. Everything went well and root checked showed phone is rooted
Anyhow I think phone is not properly installed as USB mass storage enabler is warning so. I installed SG USB Mass Storage Enabler from playstore and when opened, it asked for root permission, gave it. Anyhow its showing your device is not rooted though its listed in SuperSu app tab. It would be great if someone can help me here as I have been trying to fix this for long and no luck.
That can be an app issue, not root issue.
