Same problem with me.I have the same korean varient with LG u+ logo. I am using it in Pakistan. Read almost every thread regarding korean variants but there is'nt any method specific for SM-N900L.

So are you wanting to flash a custom recovery e.g. twrp and then install a custom rom?
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Do you have a custom recovery and is your mobile rooted?

Hello Hokage-Sama,
i think the custom recovery installed is TWRP
did some further searching online and i was able to restore the firmware from lollipop down to kitkat, from there i was able to download a md5 file which i ran from Odin and i was able to root the phone however, its based on kitkat and im still searching if there are any for lollipop and the only one i see if the 1 poser who asks for a $25 payment to update a N900L to N9005.
... was hoping if i can use Aryamod custom rom but i think my phone should be on a rooted lollipop under N9005 model only.
hope this made sense
thank you

Root is not required to install a custom rom.
If your phone can run 9005 ROMs, you could try editing the updater script to include your phone.

hi, thanks for the reply
apologies i dont know what you meant to edit hte updater script.
Sorry i have a N900L and based on reading some other threads only
DarkLord Note 5 RC2.1 or Phronesis v5.1 will work on my unit.
before installing the rom i should have a custom recovery right? but to get a custom recovery my bootloader needs to be unlocked first.
i am currently stuck on unlocking my bootloader, i downloaded samsung usb drivers, go to recovery mode, then insert the usb on the phone, i hear a sound when you connect a device on the pc and saying that the device is ready to use but i am unable to see the contents of my phone.
am i doing it correctly?
thank you once again

Are you sure the phone's bootloader is locked? If the bootloader is not locked, do not use any unlocking apps because this will proably brick the phone.
Just install TWRP from Odin. I don't recommend Philz Touch or CWM as I don't they have been updated for a while.

i tried the twrp custom recovery based on the link you sent above thru Odin, it messed up my custom recovery, when i tried to go there it said something like unable to load recovery and goes to download mode and the phone wont startup normally.
is that a sign that my bootloader is locked since i cant install the custom recovery?
used my standard backup recovery to bring back the phone.
i wonder how other SM-N900L users installed their roms.
any other help would be greatly appreciated
thanks a lot

When you flashed twrp, did Odin say the installation was successful?
Download the tar version of twrp for your device from here: twrp.me .
In Odin, do not check anything except f.reset time. Flash twrp and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, now use button combination to boot into recovery.

thanks for the help, was finally able to install twrp custom recovery. the latest version wont work on SM-N900L, i used TWRP-2.8.6.0-N900S version and it worked! im now running on Darklord N5 custom rom for Note3 and loving it!!!

Anyway to Downgrade from 5.1.1 (COJ5) to 5.0.1 ?! N910C

can i downgrade from 5.1.1 N910CXXU2COJ5 to any 5.0.1 ?
If Yes , How can i do so please
Why i want to do so , i want to run MIUI :angel:

no one knows !

I'm having the same problem here. After the OTA update to COJ5, Odin always fail to flash any ROM before COJ5 (device display the message sw rev.check fail device 2 binary 1). Also, all the root methods that worked on COJ4 stopped working in this new version, always resulting in a infinite bootloop forcing me to reflash COJ5 in Odin. I even went to TWRP and completely wiped my phone (including system) but still coudn't install any previous version (installing the SuperSU through TWRP also results in infinite bootloop now). Did anyone find a solution for this yet? I'm guessing that this won't be a problem for just Galaxy Note 4....

Well, while [5.1.1 COJ4] can be downgraded to 5.0.1, [5.1.1 COJ5] can't. The problem may be exactly the bootloader that cannot be downgraded through ODIN. I don't believe that any common procedure will work for this downgrade. We will likely need a different approach.
I also read in some forum that while Odin won't work anymore, TWRP (or CWM) still will. So this leads to other two questions:
* Is there any place we can download stock roms in recovery format instead of ODIN's?
* If not, is there any way we can convert Stock Roms from ODIN's format to TWRP's?

if that is the case get a backup from your friend or someone with the same model like you and make sure they have a kitkat or 5.0.1 version

I have the same problem, after updade coj5 I can not downgrade to kitkat 4.4.4

@amidsal and @kirbiii, did you try this and get it to work? If so, how did you do it?

Sadly no. I'm still believe that the best (if not the only way) right now is through JTAG.
Excluding direct access to the internal SD Card, the only way to overwrite the protected memory in the device is through the bootloader, which is protected itself.

I did managed to downgrade my note 4 N910U from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1.

6.0.1 AOSP downgrade to custom TW ROM (AryaMod) and Bootloader help - N9005

I have a look through the threads and could not really get an answer I know would suite my situation exactly.
My question is this, I am currently running the latest Resurrection Remix ROM (6.0.1) and am wanting to install a ROM like AryaMod or another custom TW ROM for the Note 3 (not ported).
Can I just install the ROM through recovery?
Second question, my Baseband version is currently N9005XXUENA2 which I think is old - should I update to the latest bootloader and if so how do I go about this? This one I am really needing some easy to follow instructions as I have not updated the bootloader before.
Sorry if there is already a thread with this, I couldn't find it.
Thanks.

You say baseband then say bootloader .
One is not the same as the other .
Baseband is your Modem .

Ok, I am obviously a little confused. Where do I check my bootloader version? And how to I update that? And should I also update my baseband/modem?

Done, I did the cold boot and everything seems to be running smoothly. (Should I notice a difference in performance or battery at all?)
As for installing a Custom TW Lollipop ROM, do I just flash it through recovery and not have to do anything else? As in coming from 6.0.1 AOSP back to 5.1.1 TW is all fine?
Thanks again.

I recommend a full wipe in recovery before flashing another rom?

galaxy j500h 5.1.1 downgrade problem

okay so i have this lil problem on my galaxy j5
a few months ago ive found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/tutorial-upgrade-j5-2015-to-6-0-t3443904 so i tried to upgrade my phone to android 6.0.1(firmware: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=D2F21816700B11E69B2DFA163EE8F90B) and it works perfectly fine tho
but im trying to downgrade to 5.1.1 coz i cant install any custom mods and kernels so i tried to flash a android 5.1.1 firmware(http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=F33B6BD4400411E6815B0CC47A44B7B2) which it gave me bootloops
i tried to re-flash it to android 6.0.1 firmware i recently downloaded. it works and it starts up ok but it says that the system is not running and it should be factory reset--something like that. so ive factory reset my phone and again..it gave me bootloops
fortunately ive recently did some twrp backup and good thing it worked fine. but the problem is that the recovery didnt backup my phone password(which im stucked rn bcoz i cant type my main phone password)

I dont own that device, but i thing this would work:
Flash latest 6.0 firmware with samsung smart swich (PC), enable oem unlock in settings, flash twrp for 6.0 with latest odin, do a factory reset and a full wipe (except external sd an android secure). Then download latest 5.1 firmware for your device an flash it with odin (it will take some time).

You are stuck on Marshmallow

Hai bro,,,
u try this one after flashing offical firmware simply reboot your device into recovery mode by pressing Power + Home + Volume UP and do a wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partitions then reboot your device, it will start properly and all problems are now solved,,,,,

With the J500H, Samsung decided to lock the bootloader, meaning you can't downgrade. J500h seems to be the only locked device. Unless someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader then you are stuck on 6.0.1.

i just flashed a stock LP firmware that has the same region on my stock MM firmware(MBC) and everything worked fine
idk abt the others who updated on samsung updates(which locks the bootloader), since i updated it manually through odin in the first place

also this is my used firmwares:
5.1.1: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__J5__/zvs5/MBC/J500HXWU1APE5/J500HMBC1APE5/
6.0.1: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__J5__/4u11/MBC/J500HXWU1BPG1/J500HMBC1BPG1/
i downloaded both on updato but too lazy to find it

First update to MM have the some botloader like LP. But next update have other bootloader and you can't boot LP with odin to your telephon.
10:32 And some more - Philippines firmware LP 5.1.1 have second bootloader. You can downgrade from last update MM to LP 5.1.1 very easy.

I found how I can help for you.
You may download firmware from here :"goo.gl/Yk1Byz" and unzip and flash in odin this firmware.
Then if some hardware not working you may download firmware for your region from here:"goo.gl/SdcwhA"
and unzip repeat the flash with odin but with one file firmware.
And If you don't update your telephon to MM you can flash telephon using only this stock firmware. Save it. First file you can delete.
I am sorry - in first step you may set BL for APE1 file from my blog . It have second bootloader for firmware.

Changing BMC to INS (CSC)

Hey guys!
I bought s8 Canada version (bell carrier) and i moved back to India. I need to change the CSC to INS which was formally BMC, as i can't use features like Samsung Pay.
Can you guys please let me know how to change the CSC code. Also, creating a new samsung account didnt help.
Thanks in advance.

Download S8 India firmware extract CSC.
Install safestrap in S8 and then either raplace CSC manually in /system or make a zip of CSC and flash in safestrap. And delete OMC folder having original CSC. before changing anything make sure you backup efs partition in safestrap in case something goes wrong.

Thanks much man. But that would mean that i can't update my OS beyond nougat, isn't it?
This might sound stupid, but can i do the flashing using odin? or would that brick my device?

With safestrap you can have either rooted nougat or Oreo or pie and switch between these anytime you want. I guess you are on bootloader rev5. To get safestrap you have to follow jrkruse EDL method then follow his Oreo or pie guide.
This process uses modded Odin and safestrap to install. Make you follow his instructions to T
If you want rooted nougat let me know I can send you instructions.
What software you are currently on?

Yes.. I'm on rev5. Please don't mind me saying this, but I dont want to root my phone coz i tried it before on oneplus 5 and it went terribly wrong :laugh: . So, if there is no way i can do it using odin and flashing HOME_CSC i really don't want to risk it. But, thanks a lot for all this . And sorry for bothering with so much details. Thanks much.
