Hello
I tried to downgrade my 7.0 A510F but Odin failed and Download Mode gave an error saying "sw. rev. check. fail. device 4 binary 2". I think it's because of old bootloader and I kinda guessed it will happen.
So is there a way to downgrade to Lollipop ?
Up
Same Trouble
I try to do the same with my galaxy A7 but i cant find any aption cause I read that the problem is the bootloader seems like its a new version that its not compatible with older versions and something about knox that really i cant understant i hope you can fix your problem and share here

Hey XDA, new here but long-time lurker, I like many am stuck with 4.4.4 on my n900v and am looking for a way out. So far the only promising thing I've seen is the video for the n900a (which ihas locked bootloader as well?). I got all the files replaced for the n900v version to at least get back from 4.4.4. to 4.4.2 but Odin is failing with the sw rev check fail fused 4 binary 3 error. I am using the stock NC4 fimware and have tried several downloads, I've tried Odin 3.10 and 3.09 and made sure running in admin and everything checked that's needed. I also made sure my phone has USB debugging enabled and Unknown Sources checked. I've read that I should try a custom rom but assume that with my locked bootloader that wouldn't work either. The n900a has a locked bootloader as well I believe which is why I thought that if I replaced the files with Verizon versions the instructions in the video would work.
Is there any way back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 on the n900v or am I screwed? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Such helpful, many wows....
But serious why can AT&T Note 3 be downgraded with a locked Bootloader but Verizon can't?
Because it can't read the other hundred posts in regards to this
Just thank verizon for this mess.
Because 4.4.4 has a different bootloader which blocks out downgrading to 4.4.2. That's why you can't go back to 4.4.2 once you go to 4.4.4 and more than likely whenever Lollipop comes (rather if be 5.0.x or 5.1) they will more than likely block downgrading to 4.4.x or whatever on that too.
Yes I understand the whole locked bootloader part, just confused on why you can downgrade AT&T's which is locked also I thought? Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything but looks like Im SoL like the rest of ya. (No wonder so grumpy). Thanks. :crying:

Because AT&T and Verizon are two different companies who have 2 different requirements for their phones even if from the same manufacturer.
Verizon requires their updates to not be downgrade able while AT&T apparently doesn't have that requirement.

if you're on NC4 just use towel root v3 to root.

Use this guide from Droidstyle, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911), which should help you restore the phone back to factory stock 4.4.2 NC4. Then (like BladeRunner said), you can use Towelroot to gain root access. Just don't update the phone to any Android versions past 4.4.2 or you will lose ability to root, as there's no current root method for 4.4.4 for our phones.
Hello guys today i update my sprint galaxy s5 to android 6.0.1 marshmallow G900PVPS3CPE2 the problem is that the data not works any more (it is not an apn problem) i was able to fix this problem with the rom XtreStoLite (lolipop 5.0) but now i cant go back to this rom because the phone enter in a bootloop after flashing the rom.
So i decide to donwgrade to android 5.0 again so i try with flashing with odin and zoon after i start odin fails and i recive this messege on my phone:
sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 2
so my question is how can donwgrade?? it is possible?
or there is a rom that enable my data back??
thx for all the help you can gave me
PD: sorry for the bad english
Ok guys, This has not been just a problem of mine but also every Galaxy J5 users. The marshmallow update has quite a good UI and other stuffs. But in long term use I found this really annoying. And I want to downgrade the firmware. So I downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile.com . Now using odin when I try downgrading, I get the problem
sw rev check fail :[aboot]fused 2>binary 1
The model is:J500H(2015)
Is the downgrade really impossible? I even tried using TWRP but it isn't working either. I eagerly wanna go to lollipop while marshmallow is getting frustating day and again. So guys if you have any solution regarding this please suggest me..

Unfortunately, there isn't any way to downgrade as far as I know. It only happened for J500H and there is a warning thread, but not all people are aware of that...
You gotta blame Crapsung...

1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqpucWXyfqY
hi. thx, but i did this right (like in the video) many times, and it worked perfectly. now is not working cuz the bootloader was updated, and it won't let me downgrade the firmware anymore. i am still trying to find a way but i don't know if is possible.
i am searching a way to downgrade bootloader and then downgrade the firmware, but i dunno if is possible to downgrade bootloader once it was updated.
i am looking for the same solution. i managed to downgrade to Nougat but cant install custom rom
Can someone help me? I have G950FD which Firmware should I flash for my phone? I am using this model in the US
So no solution to downgrade bootloader version?
Bootloader downgrade for U6 is not available yet (For free)

I have searched the whole web. but, I haven't find the solution to downgrade the bootloader for Binary 6. Well, my phone's OS is dead after upgrading to pie. So, apparently the only way for me and to others who are facing the similar issue is to wait until someone releases Binary 6 combination firmware for SM-G950FD.
Good news: It's easy to get your phone running if your bootloader is not upgraded to binary 6. Cuz, Binary 5 firmwares and combination files are available out there and they are 100% working unless your MB is dead.
Note: I have flashed following stock firmwares successfully through ODIN [INS-G950FXXU6DSK9-20191231094010 and INS-G950FXXS6DTA1-20200120123810] yet no luck. Can't boot the OS. Tried to root the phone, cant able to flash the custom recovery. Nothing just works.
Someone, please tag me if ever finds U6 combination file. That's the only hope to bring back my phone to life.
Hey guys, I have a problem and I need your help... Yesterday I flashed via Odin3 UK official stock rom on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Android 8.0)... Everything worked okay, did some updates through the phone... I saw that Samsung Health app doesn’t work because it said that software was modified... So I searched YouTube and found that I need to root the phone... So I downloaded TWRP recovery 3.2.3... I flashed it via Odin3 without any problems... I downloaded custom unofficial Samsung rom (Android 8.0 by Jays)... it works well, Samsung Health app works also... it has latest patch from January 2018... but the phone can’t get official updates via OTA... so I decided to get back to stock official rom from Samsung... I downloaded 3 different roms with different country(Android 8.0) but every I try to flash via Odin3 fail... I don’t know why but I can’t flash it... The binary of phone was firstly custom then it changed after trying to flash to Samsung Official and system says custom... TWRP is missing there now and anything I can do is get to download mode... One important thing which I saw is: RP SWREV (B:3, K:1, S:2)... also when I try to flash the phone says under this: SW REV CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER): Device: 3, Binary:2... I tried different AP in Odin3 but still without changes (also saw Kernel fail: Device:1, Binary:0)... I want to get the phone right on official firmware... I hope it’s not bricked... Any tips or help will be appreciated (I read a lot of posts here but nothing help)...
Hi.
You can only flash roms that have the same bootloader version as your phone or higher.*Downgrading is not possible .
Go to Sammobile and search for the latest Firmware of your device ,download and flash it via Odin.
Good luck
Yep, search latest firmware with same binary your binary is B3 and you cannt flash any old firmware like B2 or B1
