[HELP] Using Odin to Downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Heya!
Wondering if anyone out there can tell me how to flash MM "plus bootloader" using Odin. Can't seem to find any files or tutorials out there, and the ROM I'm trying to flash calls for flashing both - but I don't know how. Could someone please let me know how to do this? I've been flashing Nougat stock ROMS and root, but that's all I know how to do.
Also - is there a ROOT for Marshmallow 6.0?
Many thanks in advance!

first step, flash with odin stock KK rom to have good bootloader, after root and put recovery you want and don't preoccupate anymore bootloader and flash custom rom or not...

I tried using kies to upgrade to 4.4 as i figured that would be the easiest way, but keep getting an error, so I do need to flash stock using odin. but I'm so confused as to which one to download. right now when I fire up kies, it shows this:
current firmware version: PDA:MJ7 /PHONE:MJ7 /CSC:MJ6 (ZTO)
Latest firmware version: PDA:NG3 / PHONE:NG2 / CSC:NG3 (ZTO)
can someone let me know which firmware I need to download from sammobile.com?
thanks so much.
oh please disregard. I didn't know sammobile.com had a place where we can search by country, etc. it's really cool. so I found what I needed.
thank you.
I was able to do an OTA update, so now I'm on kitkat 4.4; so my question is, now do I need to do anything for preparation in order to root?
thanks.
nothing to do
flash cf auto root and you re done...
thank you! you guys are great!

Custom and Stock ROMs Question

Hi everyone, I have question that I hope you can answer.
Today I flashed a Custom Recovery and Rooted my Note 3 SM N900. Everything is working fine, I rooted my phone in order to delete apps like trip advisor, s health among other apps. But I've seen that there are 6.0 ROMs for my phone. I've seen many tutorials and I would like to flash a custom ROM. (I'm thinking on flashing Resurrection Remix 5.1.1 for my SM N900). I already made my efs folder backup.
So, my question is this. When I decide to go back to a stock ROM (Lollipop Samsung Touchwiz the one I currently have) do I need to do something extra? Like, I would be able to flash a sotck samsung ROM through TWPR recovery for example? or what I need to do is just flash through odin?
Could you please tell me what I need to know on this cases?
Thank you very much! :good:

And What about the bootloader? Do I Need to unlock it if I want to install any custom ROM? I installed TWRP recovery on my phone, then I Rooted the phone. The steps that I've seen on the Internet to flash a Custom ROM doesn't have a step that unlocks bootloader or so.
Or the bootloader is unlocked since I rooted the phone? I'm confused. I really appreciated if you or someone could explain this doubt.
Thanks in advance. :good:
N900 is already factory bootloader unlocked
Sent from my SM-N920C
Using a bootloader unlock app could brick the phone. The only note 3 I know of with a locked bootloader is the AT&T Sm-900a.

Installing KitKat with mobile odin

Hello! I need some help
My device is SM-N9005(hlte)N9005XXUGBOJ1. It is rooted,it has a custom recovery (TWRP) and a custom ROM flashed (resurrection remix). I have mobile Odin pro and here comes the Question..
I want to install kit kat on it and I did some research and it seems that I can't find the firmware on google. All I see is freaking Lolipop. Does anyone know where could I download the firmware? Also,as I earlier said,I have MobileOdinPro. I want to install KitKat with it. I flashed before stuff but using the PC. Now I have no PC and I really wouldn't like a soft brick so are there any steps that I have to make before flashing? Like downgrading the bootloader(if possible)?
Try the sammobile Forum .

Hi guys
searched the forums but cannot find the answer.
I have a 935f and its running the latest bootloader and modem from november. i just got this phone and have rooted and installed TWRP, when i am looking at custom roms like superman and renovate, it tells me to "update" my bootloader and modem to octobers version for superman or septembers version for renovate.
obviously i a running a later version than both of these, am i ok to flash the rom without doing anything or do i need to downgrade my bootloader then flash?
if i downgrade will i have to root and install TERP again plase?
thanks in advance for the help

I have upgraded my phone(sm g935a)to Oreo i want to downgrade it

Kindly guide me someone i want to downgrade to marshmallow on SM G935A .. i have tried the apk1 rom but failed to flash please help...
You'll get used to Oreo, it's pretty good so far.
Assuming it's still on bootloader 4, you can downgrade to any firmware build using BL4. I don't recall off the top of my head if there was ever a MM build that used BL4, but that's the restriction. Anything else will either not flash or brick your device. You will need a modded version of ODIN to do the downgrade.
why do you want to downgrade?
