Hello im currently using the u version of 935 firmware 7.0 and was wanting to know if I can downgrade back to marshmallow? I want xposed and can't get it to work with nougat so any info would be great thanks
AFAIK, it's not possible to downgrade with a locked bootloader.

Unless you have a Chinese variant, you cannot unlocked Snapdragon bootloaders on the S7.
I've went back and forth between Nougat-MM several times. You can't go back earlier than PH1 due to the bootloader being locked, but that gives you the choice of 2 MM firmwares, PH1 and PI3.
Can anyone point me to directions on how to roll back to Marshmallow?

That has the resources you are looking for. Just grab either the PH1 or PI3 firmware and then do a normal Odin flash. You will be downgraded to stock MM.

i just did this in my s7 edge for verizon. Tried to flash the unlocked firmware and it failed. It woudlnt' boot afterwards. (it was first on 6.0.1). I then accidentally flashed a nougat stock rom. After this, I flashed a verizon 6.x.x fimrware and then the tmobile firmware. ALl through ODIN of course. I thikn as long as it works through ODIN, you are fine. It may take a lot of trial and error though

I have a S5 with the new Marshmallow update via the Telus network in Canada. I had root for the Lollipop but took it out so I could update without problems. Lo and behold the Marshmallow update went in without a hitch but when I tried to flash TWRP with ODIN it didn't work. Am I missing something or does rooting the Marshmallow update require a new TWRP version? I used TWRP and SUPER SU last time to root Lollipop and al I did was put SUPER SU in a folder and flashed TWRP and then installed SUPER SU with TWRP and I was rooted. I just want the easiest step by step way to root my S5 again with the Marshmallow update. My provider is Telus from Canada.
Which model S5?
Unless MM locked your bootloader, TWRP 3.0.0.0 and SuperSU 2.71 beta are what I used to root MM
ODIN 3.10.7

SM-G900W8VLU1DPD3 Baseband Version Model #SM-G900W8 Build# MMB29M.G900W8VLU1DPD3 These are all the pertinent numbers. Do you have the steps needed to unlock and then ROOT. I'm not sure if the bootloader is locked. Hopefully you can help me get rooted again.

I wasn't thinking when I first read your post. If you"re looking for the MM Firmware I think I have what you are after. I got it from the S Mobile site, so if the guys don't mind me posting it with this reply here it is. I just tried to upload it and it's too big so if you have a way please tell me how and I'll get it to you. Even zipped it's like 1.2 GB.

I actually updated through Samsung Kies. And re-rooted. Though I haven't found an ASOP ROM that works with the MM bootloader
I was trying to upgrade to to the new pheonix rom which is Marshmallow 6.01 but it wasn't taking. Someone told me I probably need to update to a marshmallow bootloader. They offer one on pheonix but it is for 900f and I have 900w8. Any idea where I can get this bootloader?

Hey there I just got a new samsung galaxy s5, and I have been searching on the internet since yesterday, and haven't been able to find a thread that gives me information about installing custom recovery or installing a rom based in stock without any bloatware.
My phone is the samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900v (not rooted, i haven't been able to do it, maybe it's not posible yet )
android 6.0.1
kernel version 3.4.0
So my questions are:
Can I flash the twrp.tar file with odin?
Is there anyway to install a rom based in the stock of samsung but without bloatware?
And finally, can I root android 6.0.1 in my verizon s5?
Thanks in advance
you have alot to learn my friend.. if you are on 6.0.1 i dont think you can downgrade. you need to be on a 5.0 and then root then if you have a samsung board you can unlock the boot loader to install TWRP if its a toshiba you cant..

I just got the s5, but i get rid of it,im back on my old lg g2, seems it was imposible to install a clean rom on that device.
6.0.1 is downgradable. If you had a 15 chip then you could get TWRP. Even if you had an 11 chip you could still flash a debloated rom on Lolipop.

I've searched but I'm lost on where and how to downgrade 6.01? Is it just flashing over a 5.0 ? or is there more to it because it's new? And where can you find a guide for rooting 6.01 or downgrading it and then rooting?

I already gave the phone to my gf, but what would happen if I try to flash a stock based debloated rom with my pc? I mean flashing the debloated version of 6.0.1?

Flash a G900V 5.0 Lollipop Odin TAR. If you have a CID 11 chip then you can either:
- Downgrade to lollipop and stay rooted their.
- Stay / upgrade to marshmallow but not have root.

you can downgrade from marshmellow to lolipop however you cannot downgrade to kitkat due to the fact that the bootloader is different
I advise you DO NOT make move to unlock bootloader on locked device.Like install 900f roms 900f kernels. Because i tried this **** and my s5 is turned to trash. Do not try belive me.

Why are you advising those with a locked bootloader not to unlock it? If you have the right emmc, there are like 4 different methods to do it. It's simple!
Hello,
I am running an SM-G930P with Nougat PLN firmware. I downgraded it to PK1 Marshmallow firmware to root it, and used this root method: https://idoneapps.com/forum/index.php?topic=616.0
It worked perfectly. However, when I tried to use the Nougat update file, it said it was corrupt. When I tried to root it in Nougat, it began bootlooping. Is there any way to root it in Nougat? All I need to really know is how to install TWRP.

There's not a way to root on Nougat yet, especially since it's on a beta firmware. TWRP isn't available on U.S Snapdragon Galaxy S7's as our bootloaders are locked.

What if I downgrade to Android 6.0.1 PL6 firmware, download the firmware file and flash it via FlashFire?

You'd want to downgrade to PL6 and the flash the unlocked PL2 to root, but TWRP still isn't possible.
as many have said. ZERO TWRP UNTIL BOOTLOADER GETS UNLOCKED (which probably won't happen) /thread closed
Looking to buy this phone soon but I was just wondering about a few things. Im buying the canadian variant G935W8.
1. Can this device be rooted on nougat as well or only marshmallow? Im buying it brand new so I think it will probably be running the latest firmware.
2. Is there any issues with unlocking the bootloader? Is it neccesary to do so if you want root and custom roms?
the bootloader is not locked on the w8 as its the exynos variant and yes nougat can be rooted its the same as 935f

Thanks. Also another question I had. If the phone comes with marshmallow and I root it will I be able to install nougat roms directly or will I have to update the bootloader and modem? In that case would it be better to update it to nougat first and then root?
Updating your phone would cause you to lose root anyways as the file structure on nougat is completely different then marshmellow.
Rooting also prevents OTA updates, so you would end up having to install nougat manually.
I suggest you upgrade your software then root it. You can use systemless root from magisk. Using TWRP just flash the latest magisk file and you are rooted. The file will automatically root your phone as part of the installation process.

If you get it with MM (highly unlikely) just don't do anything and you should get an OTA notification otherwise you can download Odin, google it as I don't have a link and nougat from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767144483 and you can flash it yourself now rooting is a little different then it used to be do a search on the s7 edge for the info on that
the reason is yes you will need to download the BL not sure about modem but you might as well do it too
I just rooted my G935W8 running 7.0 by following the instructions in the first half of this video.
