look at your firmware and see what revision the bootloader is
normally 5th digit from end is revision of a bootloader. if its still a 1 more than likely you can downgrade as long as the downgrade firmware is too
this isnt the fool proof method on this but normally bootloaders of same revision can be flashed
My t550 5 6 and 7 all are revision 1 bootloaders so I myself can downgrade mine from 7.0 back to 5
This is mine but for instance
Product code XAR
PDA T550XXU1AOCF
CSC T550XAR1AOCF
The 5th back is a 1 so rev one
the s8s s9s note 8s and several other samsungs go by this rule of thumb
My tab 10.1 is on P580UEU1BQK1. So I can go to P580UEU1APH6? That would be awesome. On my S5 I got locked out of L by the sneakey bootloader.

And if you want a locked bootloader.
Just want to point out they do have an update officially from Samsung out to go to 5.1.1 on the US WiFi version.
I just got a wifi Android update after pressing "Software Update" under settings.
This 248MB downoad updated my S2 from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 - Build number LMY47X.T810XXUIBOH7
The update was to US version SM-T810 tablet that I have had a little over 2 weeks.

Every modern device from Verizon has a locked bootloader.
Does the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab S2 come with Android 5.1.1 and does it have a locked bootloader?
Rogers Canada S2
Mine came with build LMY47X.T817WVLU1AOH2 android 5.1.1
I just bought an S2 WiFi 9.7" from Best Buy earlier this evening (25 Sep). Out of the box it had 5.1.1 on it.
I think other regions will have to wait some more, I heard there is an update ready to mitigate the stagefright vulnerability, but it's still 5.0.2

I also had a update when I purchased mine 2 weeks ago, but it was only a minor one, still 5.02
I have a UK 9.7"and it is on 5.0.2. No software update available at present.

Mine came
Out of the box with 5.1.1 att version 4g lte. Sm-g817a. Trying to find a recovery and root method anyone else with any luck. Also did this model come with the bootloader locked. Just got mine today

I think you are out of luck - it looks like only WiFi models can be rooted as bootloader locked on other models. Check out the section on rooting in this S2 section. You may have to wait awhile.
Tmobile LTE tablet s2

Came with 5.0.2. No updates. But is unlocked and rooted. Waiting on a deodexed rom now ?

Unlocked bootloader but no official update for me (I've rooted my tab)
I just got my 817T yesterday at T-Mobile, rocking 5.1.1 AOG8. Last night however, the Tab told me that an update was available. I haven't taken it yet because I didn't want to risk messing up the root process. I actually just got myself some root access 2 mins ago (I beleive a "woo hoo!!" is in order...) and I still have the notification for the update. I'd like to check out a changelog... just thought it was interesting for a Tmo device to be getting fast updates and such... Meanwhile my Note 4 is still on 5.0.1, ya know, unlike every other carrier
2 810's (one for my wife, one for myself); both on 5.0.2 out of the box, no update to 5.1.1 in sight. Maybe Samsung skips 5.1.1 in our part of the world and goes straight to "M".

I am looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 still on Android 4.4.4 with either AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon as carrier (SM-N910-A/S/T/V). Would anyone point me towards a listing on eBay/Amazon or anywhere else that would be selling a Note 4 still on Android 4.4.4?
While it's been easy for me to see listings for new Note 4s on eBay/Amazon it's been very difficult to determine what Android version ships on those new phone listings since new Note 4s are factory sealed, and as such the Android version installed from the factory cannot be determined - this is why I am asking help in finding such a listing. Please help, thanks!
In transparency, I really prefer to have the most app-compatibility when it comes to which Android version is installed, and particularly I see that Android 4.4.4 has the most compatibility with certain apps that have features otherwise incompatible/patched/made more difficult to access in Android versions higher than Android 4.4.4.
In short, Android 4.4.4 is compatible with everything I need it to be, and as a result don't want to upgrade to a higher Android version just to find out there is some app/feature not available on that new Android OS (ie. patched/restricted), and only available on Android 4.4.4.
hmmm no way to be sure if the phone is packed, btw if you dont mind sharing why are you looking for 4.4.4?
dork997, added explanation to initial post.
In addition, I know the bottom of some of the Note 4 sealed packages (maybe all?) list the Baseband version, and one can use SamMobile to determine the Baseband number that corresponds to the Android version installed.
While this Is helpful when shopping in person, it's not so when shopping online. I am still looking for a listing for a Note 4 (either SM-N910-A/S/T/V) with Android 4.4.4 if anyone would point towards a listing that would help me so much?
Additionally, does anyone know if the factories update the Android versions/Basebands on the phone as the updates happen? Like, for example, the Sprint Samung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910P) was released with Android 4.4.4 as its initial Baseband in 2014 - does that mean that the factories stick to that initial Baseband version all through the years in production or do the factories at some point update the Basebands, so that more recently made Note 4s now ship with an updated Baseband/Android version?
Can anyone elaborate on this question please?
I am also looking for a way to downgrade to 4.4.4. Since i have 2 N910U, originally stayed on 4.4.4, without update for best stability. However, one of them got "no signal" problem, and replaced circuit board after maintenance service, thus i am forced to upgrade to 5.0.1, and no longer have choice to downgrade. It takes me a lot of time to try to downgrade! Android system updates too much, and won't let user downgrade, it's not a reasonable policy.

I was under the impression that all the bootloaders for AT&T and Verizon were locked; whereas, Sprint and T-Mobile were unlocked - can anyone confirm if this is the case?
As a correction, the video linked shows a downgrade not from 5.1.1. (Baseband N910TUVU2DOK2) but from 5.0.1 (N910TUVU1COG2) to Android 4.4.4 (Baseband: N910TUVU1ANK4) on the T-Mobile Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910T) which is still great to hear.
Building on that video linked, would it be possible to downgrade a T-Mobile Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910T) on Android 5.1.1 (N910TUVU2DOK2) all the way back to Android 4.4.4 (N910TUVU1COG2)?

I think that T-Mobile Note 4 is quite behind updates from samsung. They don't even get the update "OJ" things that block bootloaders from being downgraded to lower version.

You'd better ask the video uploader.
You can downgrade both the Verizon and T-Mobile variant down to KitKat at any point since the Verizon bootloader has been unlocked and T-Mobile has never been locked.

Nope that's wrong US Note 4's cannot be downgraded back to Kitkat. Only the N910F and N910W8 can be downgraded.

The Tmobile one requires the stock rom from the rent a center model that's stuck on Kitkat otherwise you cannot downgrade
So I was wondering if this is possible. My phone (A510F running lollipop 5.1.1) is locked to a carrier but I was planing on flashing an unbranded 6.0.1 (from Italy). Marshmallow will eventually come to my country but I just can`t wait anymore. Will flashing this firmware brick anything ?? I am well aware that the phone will remain locked to my carrier, since the lock has to do with the phone`s imei number, but is anything else going to be affected ? Anyone had a similar experience ? Your answers are really appreciated.
Bad idea, never flash unbranded firmware on a locked phone as it leads to all sorts of problems. Get turn phone unlocked first and then u can flash any firmware.

why would you ask Note 4 questions in A Series threads when the Note 4 threads are at least 10x more active? Besides, no one will know the answer here anyway.
anyone out there have the custom boot images for qualcomm binary 5 yet?
sprint just released binary 5 OTA update, im assuming the previous revision 4 binary boot images won't work any longer
also does anyone have a download link to the new builds? can't seem to find them anywhere g935p and g930p if you have them.
Hmm. guess this is why I was having a problem with my phone. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74590415&postcount=402
Just had an issue flashing SM-G935V software to my SM-G935P because I didn't realize I'd picked up an OTA putting me on binary 5. My phone is currently in a fun, bricked state. If anyone has links to a binary 5, Odin-flashable firmware download, I'd very much appreciate it.
If there's another way to flash something in download mode, other than using Odin, where I could drop something earlier than binary 5 on there, I haven't found it yet. Thoughts? The error on the phone is SW REV CHECK Fused 5 > Binary 4.
I come from a long line of HTC phones, so I've been comfortable with custom ROMs and unlocking bootloaders. Unfortunately, using Odin, I expected if something didn't match, it wouldn't flash anything (like RUUs with HTC phones). Not so much the case, apparently. haha -- live and learn!

You going to have to wait until VZ includes it in an update. As of right now, only the Sprint version has the bootloader update...I'm sure it will hit the rest during the next update or so.

That makes sense. Sprint was on their game, I guess. Thanks!
new build on sammobile QJ3 rom
No Binary 5 for VZW, TMB or U firmware at this moment. They released updates with Binary 4. I don't like the Sprint rom and now I've a cellphone using G930P QL1 fimware
Has anyone heard of G930U or G935U Rev 5 being out yet? Or is Sprint still the only one on the Binary 5 Version? Man they pulled a fast one with only allowing Sprint to goto Rev5. I am sure it put a damper on all us folks who like flashing the Crappy Sprint Phones into the Unlocked Versions or a GSM Carrier such as Att or Tmobile. Please let me know if another carrier has hit Binary 5 yet.

Currently all snapdragon phones with locked bootloader have no root method, also of you are on newest bootloader you cannot run patrtcyborg
Is there any update in rooting S8 with SD? Or is there any chance to root in near future?
