Hello, so yesterday I update my galaxy s5 sm-g900v from lollipop 5.0 to marshmallow 6.0.1 successfully , but I'm not able to change the system language to French because there's only English and Spanish , I want to change the language without root because I've searched and there is no solution without root and as you know there is no root yet for marshamllow.
the question is am i able to downgrade to lollipop 5.0 and root my phone ? if yes , Please point me in the right direction and guide me how to downgrade because i read that some Bootloaders they can't downgrade to earlier version and I don't want to brick my phone.
My Build number ends in: DPD1
First do a backup/transfer important data to a computer You can downgrade to pb1 or ok3 firmware downloads from sammobile.Com flash in odin it will sofrtbrick so boot to recovery mode and wipe data and cache
Then setup and to get root go to this thread on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370

Hello guys,
I have a note 3 n9005 model I decided to update my firmware with the recently released Polish lolipop firmware using odin and everything was great, after 3 days of use it appears that lollipop is a bit laggy and sometimes hangs for a while that's why I want downgrade to Kitkat, also i would like to mention that I have updated the bootloader while flashing by ticking the update bootloader button in odin.
Now what's the possibilities of using odin again to downgrade to official Kitkat using one package file?
If not possible what if I have flashed a separate bootloader file then used odin with official kitkat is that even possible ?
Furthermore, I was thinking about rooting my Lollipop then flash a custom recovery and then wipe data and cache to install a flashable custom Kitkat.
My request is that I need someone experienced to confirm with me on what should I do without risking bricking my N3, I'm going to die with it if it's bricked
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Where is the great supporters ? Not even a one reply :crying:

Lolipop is rootable search the forum, and this not my question actually I'm asking what if i rooted it then installed a cwm based recovery to flash Kitkat, will this work or I'm risking for a brick or bootloop or any other problems?
If you have the right answer please answer it with prove, if not this thread is not for bored ppl that don't provide any fruitful feedback.
Regards,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 version G900V,
Android version 5.0
are there any rooting methods available for this phone yet?? My phone does not have lollypop
I tried the towelroot.com and I was able to download tr.apk but my phone won't let me click the install button.................Does this mean my phone is unrootable????
I've been working on this for a few months! ( I'm just slow and wanted to be sure) I successfully rooted the g900v last night. What build/kernel are you? On 5.0 its as simple as flashing 4.4.4, and THEN ncg kernel, which no matter what will be done before towelroot will work. My g900v was on 5.0 so my first step was to flash 4.4.4 (NK2) on top of it just to start my process.
Don't forget once you are done with rooting with towelroot and after you install SU, flash your kernel back to what it originally was. That way it stops acting so wonky. Ex. I had to flash nk2 kernel back to mine.
Look up Root g900v on ncg
Hope that helps!

help to root SG SM-N910L lollipop 5.1.1
help
some help ..??
wanna know also
No root available for SM-N910L running 5.1.1. yet. Samsung has updated Android 5.1.1 with root block and the only way to get around it is to install custom kernel. There are available custom kernel for Note 4 but not the model SM-N910L. I will try to downgrade to 5.0.1. and see what happens... If you force it with root script not made for this model, you will be stuck in bootloop forever! aka soft brick....
5.1.1
All I have to say is NOTE 4 sucks with 5.1.1. We can't downgrade or root. worst than a bootloop
any solution to root 910L 5.1.1?

in other threads whenever someone was mentioning custom kernels for 910c/f/g they suggested talextop and suemax kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=429310591)
on the first post for those kernel i didn't read anywhere specifically that 910L would be supported.
some still suggested it in the posts though.
As I'm 5.1.1 also and just saw a massive 1197MB update available I can only assume it's the 6.0
As some with 910C said they succeded with rooting at the end of the above thread: is it worth trying the upgrade to later have better chances on root? Or has there any method been found for 910L 5.1.1 root?

Did you take the OH4 update or flash that tar? I'm on Sprint OG5, and I know once you take the 5.1.1 update or tar you are stuck with the 5.1.1 bootloader and 5.1.1 roms. I odin'd a special tar that an xda member put together that had the 5.0.1 bootloader but updated everything else to 5.1.1 which lets me flash anything from 4.4.4-5.1.1. The 5.1.1 bootloader locks you in place.
So if you took the 5.1.1 OTA update or flashed a stock 5.1.1 tar through Odin than you can only flash 5.1.1 roms. There is no going back to 5.0.1 or 4.4.4.
Hello, Death-Dealer.
Could you please post that special .tar file you mentioned above? I'm in need to downgrade my phone too...
Thanks in advance.

well im not sure which way would be easier i would think downgrading and re rooting but if you choose not to you can always just reroot it even on lollipop there is a new way to root no matter what version you are on also check and make sure you have busybox and supersu installed it may have gotten deleted somehow and that could be why your phone is saying you dont have root
There's not much point in re-rooting if you plan to download an update to lollipop, because the update will immediately un-root you.
Just use Odin to flash a factory image, then follow the rooting instructions for whichever version you decide on.
