Can't downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) and I want to root it. But the problem is that it has root only for Lollipop and I am on Marshmallow now.
No matter what I am doing, every time Odin gives me an error when trying to flash the stock ROM.
1. Tried to download all 3 latest releases of Odin
2. Tried to enable USB Debbuging and disable verify apps
3. Tried to go to recovery and wipe cache and data
Please help, I don't know what to do.
Thanks

You got wrong file ! Only the Pb1 stock rom is working after upgraded to MM.

That means?

Means you can not use anymore the file you got in the picture. For downgrade and root, use pb1 rom : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970571 and tutorial from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370

[Q] Note 4 Bootloop!!! PLEASE HELPP!!!

2 days ago i rooted my note4 sm-n910f (with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428)and it was working fine, but today it when installed swiftkey it just switched off. It then turned on again and got stuck in a bootloop.
I tried to root it again and it didn't do anything. When i go in recovery mode it says at the bottom: dm-verity verification failed...
What the hell should i do!!!
Did you try to power it down completely (pull battery for about a minute to be safe), reboot into download mode and run CF auto root again? I got stuck in a bootloop early on and this fixed it for me. If it doesn't work, try the same steps, but try pushing TWRP (just released a few days ago for this phone) so you can boot into recovery and do a factory wipe and see if that helps. I'm basically a noob here, but these seem to be logically steps to start with...
Good luck!

Playing with his phone, now it doesn't work anymore and other people may come with a solution!
When you modify something on your phone, know first what you're doing and what todo when something goes wrong!

Sprint Galaxy Note 4 bootloops before turning on
Hi so I have my Sprint Galaxy Note 4 with CM12.1 installed and all is fine and dandy when all of a sudden out of nowhere it shuts down and bootloops.

So I decided to unroot it and it still bootlooped then I did a factory reset and even then it's still stuck in a bootloop. It's like no matter what I do my phone is stuck in a bootloop. PLEASE HELP!!

hi,
Firstly, CF auto root does not work on Note 4 Android v5.1.1 you have to flash a permissive kernel for your device.(if there is one for your device /phone. I have a N910F device and had to flash the kernel via TWRP, then i was able to root.I have got no idea what model /device you got etc. so can't help.
To get out of bootloop try flashing your Android v 5.1.1 Rom again
good luck

I don't know if u fixed it yet, but I did and I had the same think u have.
I used Odin to flash TWRP. (Look up ur model, I had twrp dot me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4qualcomm.html (I can't post links yet))
After that I used TWRP to install CF Auto Root (look up ur model once again). I had CF Auto Root already on my phone storage from some previous attempt so if u dont have that u might need to get it on your phone somehow. I don't know how to get all that working since I'm a root newb so.
Hope this got u starting at least!

Hello,
I am having a bootloop after i rooted my device using custom kernel but forgot to turn off auto update.
Does anyone know where to download Stock Lollipop 5.1.1 for 950C ?
Yes sammobile does have it but the download speed is ridiculous.

[Q] Att S4 Flashing Issue

I was able to downgrade the phone to NB1 and root it with Towelroot, and used Safestrap in order to get recovery on the device.
After that, I booted into recovery and installed the GPE 5.0.1 ROM.: http://galaxys4root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s4-roms/gpe-android-5-0-1-lollipop-rom-for-galaxy-s4/
Now the phone will not go past the S4 splash page, reboots and then goes into the stock recovery. Ive tried factory reset, clearing cache and removing the battery.
Any help is appreciated. I bought this phone for my fiance and am wanting to give it to her soon as a present.
Thank you so much in advance.
I think the problem is that you downgraded.

I couldnt install towelroot on the 4.4.4 version it came with since it said device wasnt supported.
I was following these instructions: http://www.droidviews.com/root-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-android-4-4-4-kitkat-firmware-i337ucufnj4/
It states to downgrade, then root, then go back to the 4.4.4. I thought after the steps I took, I could go straight to a custom ROM.
Thanks
I used CF-Auto-Root to root my device. Since towelroot didn't work for me either.
Maybe the rom did not flash right. Try flashing again.

Temorarily stuck with 5.1.1 for now. I will try repey6's suggestion later.
Many thanks.
bump, does 5.1.1 prevent u from downgrading to 4.4.2? the tablet was updated to 5.1.1 by accident, so i want to downgrade.
EDIT: i was able to downgrade just fine. if your hangs at the smasung boot logo for like 5 mins, power off device and clear the partitions/ data.
I don't think u can downgrade from OI1 according to Smart Switch. So i think i had BOG1
Any success on a sm-t337v??
none yet so far, we i had combination files i could try it again but i cant find any or have access to any for 337v

SAMSUNG SM-g900f (INTERNATIONAL)

Well I finally made the switch from Apple to android. I could no longer take the incompatibility with different toys at home. I used to work at RadioShack and I have rooted quite a few phones. I recently purchased a s5 international version, I need to root the phone for mirror play with my appradio. I have spent a few hours reading and trying, I took it to a droid friend of mine and he attempted with no joy. What info do you guys need from me to make thei happen. It says 5.0 (guessing lollipop)....... I tried rooting with Odin.
Thanks for any help guys
Flash TWRP then try flashing SuperSU.zip

Agree with previous poster, but you need to flash *specifically* twrp 2.8.7.0 klte......
For some reason, this version is the only one that works with some LP firmwares....
And make sure 'Reactivation Lock' is switched off before you start.
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Thanks I'll try that version. I kno I've tried flashing twrp 10x. When I try to enter twrp mode it never works. It goes to the normal page. I'll do it again tonight when I get home so I can give very clear data regarding what I'm running into.
I have followed the instructions posted by others step by step and it either boots into recover mode as if twrp was never installed or freezes and goes into a boot mode flux. Wish I could just pay someone to root this phone..... I am beginning to think it can not be rooted..... Does anyone have a link for updated instructions bc the ones I'm using are from March 2015...... I am using Odin 3.09.
Did you try CF Auto Root first?
I don't see it mentioned
And try ODIN 3.10.7
He mentioned trying to root using Odin, I guess he tried CF method using the tar file.

Flashing TWRP from ODIN then SuperSU from TWRP is another way to root using ODIN
But also, some people have no clue what they are doing, and try flashing all sorts from ODIN - without CF actually mentioned, we are guessing
Even with Lollipop, you can still root your Galaxy S5 using CF Auto Root. It is flashable via Odin.
When you install custom ROMs or recovery like TWRP, make sure Reactivation Lock is disabled or else it will block any custom binary it would detect.

Download a stock firmware from sammobile.com, preferrably ANE2 KitKat build. Flash it via Odin then once the firmware works, go to Security settings then disable Reactivation Lock. You should be able to flash a custom recovery and boot to it then.

Live demo units are so limited and so far from being a real phones, your phone model is i9505X, so it's not i9505 and so, you won't be able to flash custom ROM on it.

I read your message very well, just "i9505 demo" seems complicating, as the live demo version of the i9505 is the i9505X that's all what i was saying, so if you're sure you have a i9505 phone, then it's not demo.
Back to your problem:
1-what recovery are you using? If TWRP then what version?
2-what rom did you try to flash? And what did you wipe before flashing?

Ok, what TWRP are you using? you should flash android 6 or 7 with the latest TWRP 3, not with an older version, also for stock rom you should download it from a trusted site like sammobile.com, or samsung-firmware.org, other than those i wouldn't recommend, and use Odin 3.07 or 3.09, those versions works for everyone.

In advanced wipe menu, Mark the system partition, then press the button at the bottom that says "repair or change file system", and choose EXT4 then format the system, and see if that works, if it didn't work, try doing the same for /data and /cache partitions.

OK, last suggestion is, download the most latest firmware for your phone from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin, and then try the twrp flashing thing again.
Maybe you have an old bootloader.
