Hi guz,
I want to downgrade my NOTE 4 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I googled it and did show one of the thread on this forum using ODIN method for that. My problem is to find the correct firmware version for note 4.
My device info is given below
Model Number: SM-N910F
Baseband version: N910FXXU1DPB1
Build Number: MMB29M.N910FXXU1DPE1
Please help me on finding the correct firmware or suggest me on identifying the possible versions.
Thank you.
Go to sammobile and find the last released 5.1.1 firmware for your device.

Thank you for reply.
I have already checked sammobile, I did found some 5.1.1 firmware for note 4, my problem is I couldn't find any for my build. so my question is can I use any other similer version, if so what version?. Please be specific.
Thank you.

Use any unbranded firmware mate, UK for example. By unbranded I mean try those which don't come with any carrier labelling, you know like O2 etc.

I have downloaded the following build
Code:
Model: SM-N910F
Country: United Kingdom (EE)
Version: Android 5.1.1
Product code: EVR
PDA: N910FXXU1COI3
CSC: N910FEVR1COJ1
Will this work, mate?

Yes, unless EE is a carrier name it should be unbranded.
Installing the EE firmware will also install EE's own remote phone locking software in the persdata partition (Which is a real pain to remove as it will keep coming back even if you flash a non EE firmware) as well as EE's bloatware.
Use the BTU firmware for a clean unbranded phone.

Thank you for the valuable insight. Its a good thing since I have delayed the downgrade.
Downgrading on galaxy note 4
Hi....I just found your thread and wanted to know did the downgrade work in the end and what impact did it have on the phone. Did it improve? What were the reasons you decided to downgrade?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm a little confused about which region SM-N9005 I have.
In phone settings -> about device it shows:
Model number: SM-N9005
Baseband version: N9005XXUBMI5
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7
In Kies,
Current firmware version: PDA:MI7 PHONE:MI5 CSC:MI7 (TGY)
Latest firmware version: PDA:MJ8 PHONE:MJ4 CSC:MJ8 (TGY)
After a little research I have found out that TGY is the region code for Hong Kong, and the Build number seems to verify this.
But what about Baseband version? Doesn't XX mean European region?
I bought this phone on eBay. So its quite possible someone fiddled with it to make it work here (BTW I'm in UK).
Can anyone shed any light, before I flash the wrong region firmware via ODIN and brick my phone?
Also I have CF-Auto-Rooted (Thanks Chainfire), which is why I'm not updating through Kies.
Thanks to all in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but I'm still unsure which Region firmware I need to flash. (I'm talking about stock firmware here).
If I flash The Hong Kong firmware, will my phone still work here in the UK? Will it change my phone language to Chinese?
I understand flashing the wrong region for your device could result in a brick. Is this correct?
I really would like a definitive answer before I do something stupid.
Thanks all
Update
Just a quick update..
I read through the entire CF-Auto-Root thread (50 pages!). A couple of posts mentioned that I could update through Kies if I first factory reset my phone.
I did so, and the update succeeded! I then proceeded to CF-Auto-Root again, to regain root access. Joy!
Now my 'About device' screen looks like this:
Baseband version: N9005ZHUDMJ4
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUDMJ8
A couple of questions.
The baseband version is not correct for my region (UK, Europe (XX))
Will this have adverse effects on my connection to networks?
Is it possible to flash only the correct baseband? If so, how?
Thank you all for taking time to help me

I would advise you to first go to About>>Software Update and check if their is any official firmware for your phone. If there isn't, then proceed to rooting your phone through ODIN and then select your favorite rom from XDA forums and flash it! WELCOME TO XDA ROOTED USERS GROUP!
And yeah, you may flash Official firmware but not from other carriers because they have different hardware dependencies.

I forgot to mention that I am already rooted! The only reason why I need to update to the latest version is because my data speeds are terrible. Hopefully, the latest update will fix it.

Bro.... if you're already rooted, then you will no longer be able to flash official OTA updaates that are provided by your carrier. BETTER look out for custom roms.....

OK, so this is odd: if I do a *#1234# the CSC listed is G900FOXA1BOA4 which is UK, but if I run phone info *Samsung* it still says I'm on Poland CSC, even though it lists the UK CSC?!
So, is G900FOXA1BOA4 UK or Poland? Have I got UK csc or not?!

Hi, has anyone tried using Kies emergency firmware recovery? I tried "firmware upgrade and initialization" and entered by device serial, it detects correctly (XSE) but when I proceeded with it, it goes to the default CSC in the rom (XXV - its a multi CSC rom btw). Not sure how to get emergency firmware recovery code tho...
hi
I had problems during reflash n9005 before.
i had version N9005XXUFNG2 and wanted to update to Poland XEO version N9005XXUEND3. Somebody reply me i can use it and i almost kill my note3 during flash.
Then somebody explain i cant downgrade from NG2 to ND3 so i reflash back to correct version and let i to wait.
question 1:
my current firmware is N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5, phone is probably from Austria A1 network (i bought it in local store with papers)
now there is update to android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:

question 2:

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.
