I have succesfully managed to downgrade to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1 latest dpd4 firmware in n910g.so for n910g bootloader is not locked at all.
Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
What 4.4.4 firmware did you flash? What steps did you make to go back to 4.4.4?
Please give us more detail.
i was first on 910godd1dpb5_INU 6.0.1 i factory reset it.wiping all data.then i moved to n910gTEl1COL3_TEL 5.1..1 australian version juct to check some people were saying that this firmware has good battery life.then again factoy reset all moved to n910g0lb1ank3_SIN 4.4.4 singapore version. and here i am. thats it.
thanks for sharing you're trial
not working on N910 C 6.0.1 N910CXXU2DPCB still locked bootloader may be next update will be with unlocked one
Weird that INU never received 5.1.1, may be this is the reason? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910g/inu/
For those who want to go back to Kitkat for whatever reasons, one can go back to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1.
Did the following steps:
1. From 6.0.1 DPD4, flashed 5.1.1 COL3 via Odin 3.10.7 with options Nand Erase All and Update Bootloader ticked.
2. After flashing, successfully booted to 5.1.1 after wiping data/factory reset thru Recovery.
3. From 5.1.1 COL3, flashed 4.4.4 ANK3 via Odin 3.10.7 with options Nand Erase All and Update Bootloader ticked.
4. After flashing, successfully booted to 4.4.4 after wiping data/factory reset thru Recovery.
It may even be possible to downgrade directly to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1, but I didn't try it.

Who said it's locked? LEL! Idiots like hard rock/ rakesh roshan doesn't count.
910g has never been locked fyi. It's mainly the exynos variants 910c and 910h
N910T is locked to Latest DOK2 BL... we dont have MM yet but would it be possible for the MM BL to be unlocked and downgradable? I guess what I mean is if MM BL was unlocked could we downgrade past 5.1.1 to 4.4.4....or only down to 5.1.1 where the previous lock was....I was just curious if a upgrade completely rewrites the BL and could possibly fix the lock problem.

Yes possibly because when i was still in later versions of 5.1.1 i can't downgrade to a lower version, it always fails. But upon upgrading to MM, i successfully downgraded to KK.

It's a shame that you first will be mislead and then you have to waste your own precious time to find out the truth.
Like I mentioned before, the cancer started in the Note 4 Telegram group, where that locked BL crap was first mentioned by that troll, then eventually it was spread here. Doesn't matter where you plant the seed of cancer it'll eventually creep in everywhere, but glad it didn't stay long.
F***ing stupid people living pathetic lives.

Hi, I am a total noob in the area of updating my Note 3, so please guide me.
I want to update my Note 3 with the official firmware of Poland through Kies or Odin ( I know how to do that)
But one thing I'm afraid of and don't know is whether I will lose all my data (apps OR Phone data) if I update through Odin or not?
Just a note, I am trying to keep my Note 3 totally unrooted, untampered with in any other way. So will updating through Odin also increase my Knox number?
Thanks.

Via ODIN will wipe your data/factory reset. -- Via KIES off the top of my head I cannot remember as it's been a while since I used it.
Official firmware will not trip your KNOX, and has been confirmed safe also/

You 100% need the new bootloader for it to work and even boot properly, and you will lose root. MOP won't work.
Anyone thinks android 4.4.2 can be falshed with mop, keeping 0x0 root and it will start withthe old bootloader?

NF can't be downgraded to NE. AFAIK.
Once the letter upgraded u can't gi back to previous letter series. It will be considered downgraded.
The bootloader is different, and it is the ome which lock the downgrading process.

With the introduction of JB.
You shouls really research these things beforehand. Mainly because it's mentioned i n pretty much every flash thread.

samsung started this stuff when they started to use KNOX.
They agressively update the bootloader for any patches useful to protect their system evironment. Therefore, in KK, AFAIK, any changes of the firmware letter, means new bootloader.
what most of users do normally (if they have a rooted device), is just flash a newer custom ROM, and stay with their old bootloader (KK). By doing this way, you still can jump any older custom ROM base without any problem.
But once you flash a new original firmware, it will flash the new bootloader as well. And it is non-downgradable.
cheers.
Hello,

I was wondering how to go about downgrading my N900v - I downloaded the Stock Kitkat Firmware and tried to flash with odin, keep getting a SW REV CHECK FAIL - [aboot] Fused 4 > Binary 1 error. Not sure what this means or what I am doing wrong. I want to go back to root, install a custom recovery, and then put a rooted Lollipop rom on. PLEASE HELP! I used the search function and no answer is clear cut. Now, I used Odin and all I am getting upon boot is: Your device didn't update successfully, use the verzon software repar assistant. Sorry for posting twice, posted in generic Note 3 thread and didn't know how to delete. Thanks in advance!

This is more locked down than an iPhone 6s Plus! (just jailbroke my wife's). I can't believe that no one has figured out how to root this phone in 5.0. I'd really like to start taking advantage of some of the great features on a rooted Note 3, and I don't care if it trips the Knox. I don't care about the warranty. Does anyone have any ideas about rooting this stock device that is on 5.0?

Of course tons of really smart people have tried rooting 4.4.4 and above. With or without tripping Knox. No one has been able to break the locked bootloader by any method. For all intents and purposes...it can't be done.

And any bugs on 5.1.1?I read something abot fingerprint on lockscreen?it true? "

Dunno can you downgrade but, i had fingerprint problem and lag after lockscreen. Full wipe and deactivating smart lock(it was activated by default) seems to solve everything for now.

I guess you need to do some steps to revert back to KK , you wanna downgrade from major firmware to another not simple update like 5.1.1 to 5.0.1
be sure what u doing or you may get in bootloop or something worse.
