I believe that your problem is deep sleep.... Since you tried to root it triggered knox flag and despite the clean flash from Odin deep sleep issue is still there! There is no need to downgrade, you need to flash custom recovery, successfully root, your device and install custom kernel like Audax or Skyhigh!
Remember to backup efs and your data before flashing and if you do want to downgrade I think you need to flash some file that will allow you to downgrade (older version of bootloader if I remember correctly)!
Try to do some research before you do anything because I believe that pit files won't help you

[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!

i tried that and then during the auto root is said: recovery is not seandroid enforcing at the top soooooooo what now?
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!

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.

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.

Stuck on recovery after using CF-Auto-Root

So I have a galaxys s5 g900f which i cleared it from a rom i used before and got it back to the original form of it. Got the .tar.md5 file of the official galaxy software from sammobile and installed it with odin. After that I wanted to root my phone again and stick with the official software. I tried to do that by the way I always used to with CF-Auto-Root using Odin once more and after downloading the file my phone was normally rebooting to recovery but it actually got stuck there without doing anything. Tried to flash twrp too but still nothing. The only thing i can flash at the time is the official software. Anyone had this issue before and can help? Thanks in advance
Flash the stock ROM again and get your phone back up and working properly
Then use this guide to root / twrp

Flashing roms and getting bootloop

Hello guys I need a little help here in every time I flash marshmallow rom or nougat rom I got bootloop so after googling for an answer I found that the solution is by changing or updating the baseband version so I need you guys to give me a link for a modern baseband version and tech me how to flash the baseband version.
I know I am asking too much but I really love flashing those roms so please help me.
My baseband version is SM-G7102XXUBOE1
I am now using CM12.1
And I tried to flash stock firmware then flashing those roms but still Getting a bootloop.
Note: all lollipop roms work good (except blisspop Rom when I flash it I got bootloop so I extracted the cm12.1 boot.img then I flashed it so blisspop rom booted but Wifi, hotspot and ril didn't work.
Revert to stock ROM using Odin (use NAND erase all option). Then back to install CM13.

1.download NK1 firmwire from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/stock-firmware-grand-2-google-drive-t2849501
2.Extract zip to get a .tar file
3.Download Odin.
4.Select AP and click on the .tar file you extracted
5.Factory format the phone,then take out battery for 8 sec(not so necessary ).Then switch off grand 2.Then hold vokume down+power button and click volume up when asked for confirmation
6.Attach the phone to PC and click on flash
7.After finishing,turn on mobile,complete first setup in stock ROM then install TWRP recovery on the device and install any ROMs. Your problem won't occur again
I have the same problem but i can still run my phone on boot but after some few seconds, it will reboot and then goes back to lock screen and then does it again. I flashed Ressurection Remix for Grand 2 btw
