Downgrading Note 4 (SM-910A) to Lollipop(5.1.1) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Ever since I got Marshmallow update on September 26, 2016. My device is not functioning properly. While I'm on phone it randomly restarts, while it's charging it freezes up and restarts, restarts while it's in my pocket. Also sometimes my phone just freezes and if I press power/home button. My phone would not wake up, so I have to remove my battery and put it back in (I do this like 10 times in a day). I already talked to Samsung they said they can't help and also talked to AT&T and they told me to just buy a new device. Basically I want to roll back to Lollipop, because it was working perfectly fine on Lollipop, so if anyone could provide me a link for an official 5.1.1 with August security patch stock at&t ROM it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

same here
I experienced the exact same conditions. Mine would go into reboot hell where it would not complete a reboot and just reboot itself until the battery went dead. I performed a low level factory reset and it returned to some level of functionality. I would like to roll mine back too.

Cannot be done.
Anti-downgrade lock. You have a 6.0 bootloader, cannot flash a 5.x.x one.
Can't do much in your case, except for maybe a factory reset.

What's your baseband?

Hi, I'm also having the same issue. My level of android is just a user, Ive never rooted. I'm getting desperate, I love my note 4 but I had to revert to using my galaxy s4. I factory reset multiple times. My baseband is N910AUCU2EPK1. The last update that was sent out started to crash my phone.

Help!

Load EPH5 by odin and then update, after factory reset you should be back in game.

Solved.

I tried downgrading to Lollipop and it was successful, but my phone stills freezes up and shuts down

I hope I can help you
Hello, it's the same thing, but there is an application, called WakeLock, that you can download it from the game store and use option 4, I worked ah, that solution I recommend, a companion on this page, but in another forum, but I'm going to install 6.0.1 again but this time with the files here, I try and give it as it was

So how we're you able to get lollipop 5.1.1 ? I was able to downgrade to 5.0.1. I'm hearing 5.1.1 was the better of the firmware. Please post like or direct me where I can continue my journey of finding the files. I have Sm-N910A thanks

[Q] Note II Bricked

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I've been having tons of trouble over the last week or so with my phone. I've had to do 2-3 factory resets, downgraded to 4.1.2, returned to stock via Odin, and tried to do the 4.4 update countless times. Every time except the last one, I got an "install interrupted" error and it wouldn't go through. On Sunday, I did yet another factory reset (I was trying to get it back to stock, everything went through, but I couldn't get it out of a loop between the AT&T logo and the Samsung logo), then suddenly the update was being pushed to my phone. I let it go through, and it completed 100% this time. And then my phone wouldn't go past the black and white Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.
I've tried everything I can think of/have found online. Battery has been pulled countless times. I left it out for about 11 hours yesterday while I was at work. I can't get into recovery mode to do a factory reset, but I can get into download mode. I've tried a TWRP recovery, attempted to put 4.1.2 back on via Odin, which worked when my phone soft-bricked a few days ago, flashed the stock firmware, I even downloaded Kies to try that but Kies 3 says my phone isn't supported and the earlier one stated my version wasn't supported.
I went into the AT&T store yesterday and both the reps and tech support couldn't fix it, which I went in expecting. I ended up having to order a new phone as mine is 2 months out of warranty, but I'm still curious on if I can get it to work. Does anyone here have any ideas? Plugging the phone in to charge just brings it to the black and white screen, but I left it on last night and drained the battery and have it charging now (I assume it's charging since plugging it in brought up that B&W screen after a few minutes, but I couldn't tell you for sure). As I have a new phone coming, I'm not too worried about trying things on this one, so any ideas are welcome. I'm relatively new to rooting and flashing, so dumbed down explanations are welcome.
The phone can charge when turned off in pretty much any situation.
Depending on the exact model and release, qFuses inside many Qualcomm SoC Samsung phones prevent the bootloaders from being downgraded through Odin; flash might fail or it just won't boot afterwards because it doesn't match the signature checked by the previous step in the boot chain.
Assuming you've successfully flashed the 4.4 bootloaders, you're going to be stuck with them.
Try flashing the correct, unmodified 4.4 ROM through Odin, boot to recovery and factory reset, reboot.
Be aware that I just checked and the AT&T one isn't out on SamMobile yet... you might have to wait a few days.
Pulling the battery for a prolonged amount of time won't change a thing unless you're dealing with a thermal or hardware issue. Same goes for charging and discharging the battery, which will only reduce the battery's useful life and capacity.

I followed sections all sections 1 threw 3. At section 2 the link for the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip did not work. I used this link instead.

At section 3 don't be alarmed when it says it's downloading the update but it doesn't show percentages. It is downloading. In fact for me it automatically downloaded the 4.4.2 update instead of 4.3. It skipped it and went straight to kitkat. It took some time but I have Official KItkat 4.4.2.

You need the full, KitKat AT&T Odin flashable ROM. Period. Don't bother with any older version.
You might want to look into making a debrick SD card, but you'll need someone with a working device to post the image. (I've mostly read about this for Qualcomm devices, but it seems to work in a similar fashion for Exynos ones.)
If your Odin ROM is missing bootloaders, it is possible to dd them from a debrick image, trim any empty space at the end with a hex editor and package them into a tarball for Odin.

LS980 ZVD Update Thread

Figured someone should start a thread now that its out. I had this update waiting for me this morning when I woke up. Had to replace some modified system files and then took the update. Lost root of course.
Points of note on ZVD:
Do not accept an OTA update with custom recovery or rom installed. If you have modified system files the stock files must be put back. Failure to consider this will lead you to problems you dont need. You can always .tot your device if necessary before taking the OTA, or wait (and be patient) for Devs to develop their roms to support zvd.
It does not include wifi calling.
ART Runtime is now available as an option in the Developer Menu.
It enables Knock Code.
You can reroot with ioroot 25 after update.
There were other fixes listed on Android central including:
A Google Patch
Improvements for group messaging
HD Voice Icon
Updated Email Signature
http://m.androidcentral.com/sprint-lg-g2-update-brings-knocking
I also noticed that Auto Brightness is not switching brightness up and down randomly all over the place and stays pretty well fixed but low intensity even at 100% with auto brightness enabled. Also of note is my battery draining really fast today after I updated and several restarts. Android system seemed to be running away over 28% battery usage but it seems to have settled down. Im gonna recalibrate my battery just be sure anyways. I always do after updates.
ZVD thread. Have at it!
any chance were you able to capture the file and might be able to upload it?

If I did I would have posted it but I believe some of the Devs already have the files. Dont quote me on that but I thought I had read someone grabbed it already.
ah okay sorry. but yea hopfully if one of them has it they post it soon. lol. thanks for the update on zvd tho. i went back to stock trying to see if i can get it. no luck tho
So are you able to get root again after the update?

I read this along time ago so hopefully Im retelling it correct. Here's what I do:
Let the phone batt run down and phone shut off completely.
Plug it in and leave the phone off till it charges to 100%.
Turn it on use phone as normal thru the day. Try not to power cycle the phone at all.
Let the batt run down again and phone shut off.
Again plug it in while off and charge to 100%.
Turn on phone with it still plugged in and when the LG screen comes up unplug it.
Your batt is now calibrated.
My G2 is stuck!
I took the ZVD update about 10 minutes ago and once the phone rebooted im suck in TWRP...what am I doing wrong??
your suppose to be fully stock to take the update. in you have a nandbackup use it now. btw i rooted using ioroot manually and installed the twrp recovery using autorec. also for some reason knock on doesnt work for me anymore. worked before zvd

Stock note 2, (no longer rooted/aosp'd). It is up to date with 4.4.2. Now... last night I did a full factory reset, but I do those anyway every other month or so, just to keep things tight and fresh.

I got it too, though I haven't applied it. I'm rooted and running a custom kernel and Clockworkmod recovery, so I was surprised to see the update come through. Now I guess I'll have to look at that stupid icon until my Nexus 6 arrives, as I don't dare apply it and risk losing root.
DO NOT apply this update until someone who knows what they're doing tells us what it is. It's 93mb, and after I applied it on 4.4.2 rooted, I couldn't get past the Galaxy Note II screen. It would freeze at a black screen after that. I had to apply the 4.4.2 firmware again to get the phone to boot. After it booted and i was completely unrooted, I tried the OTA update again, same result, it wouldn't boot past the Galaxy Note II logo screen, just went black and froze, so again I flashed 4.4.2 and rooted the phone.
Not sure why it wouldn't flash when I was unrooted but maybe it has something to do with KNOX being disabled on my phone from SuperSU.
---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------
Forgot to say after that I completely disabled the ability for the phone to update. It actually did it without my permission which pissed me off.
Weird. I unrooted back when kitkat came out so I could have working tap and pay for Google wallet. When I applied yesterday's update it worked perfectly. Whatever it is, it's invisible to a stock phone.
Btw, I too am waiting for the the nexus 6 I preordered last night.

Ugh. Tapped too quickly and applied the OTA on my rooted phone. Phone won't get past the boot logo. Shuts off. Dammit!
Any options other than wiping and starting over?
Sorry should have been more clear. Tap and pay does not work with aosp roms, which you need root to flash.

ATT Update

It will un root your note 2
A small update from att suddenly
Hello Devs,
I am a Galaxy Note 2 user (ATT SGH i317) and i have recently rooted my cellphone and i was wondering what i should do to install OTA updates. I got an OTA update and while trying to install it my teamwin recovery boots up when the phone is being restarted. So how do i install the new updates. Please help.
what did you do to return to stock?
GN3 rom
I went to downloadandroidrom.com website to download the stock recovery but they have all stock recovery except ATT. so i am still looking for a website to download stock recovery for att and once you have it flash it using twrp and whie restarting just press volume up + home + power key and when the phone starts release powerkey while still holding the other two keys . this should completely get rid of twrp and install stock. but of you have a link to get the stock recovery for att please do post. i would appretiate it.

Will samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530h get lollipo 5.1.1?
Sent from my SM-G530H using XDA Free mobile app
will do....im using an att wifi location so the download is taking forever
I'm updating as well, I'm guessing its 5.1.1. T-mobile, however, announced they are already testing 6.0 for their devices including note 4
Failed the update.....going to advance the date on the phone and try the update again.

Quick question: does the 5.1.1 update include the theme store for the Note 4?

Oh well, I guess I should simply be happy we're finally getting the 5.1.1 update. Really wish it included the theme store though (especially since we can't root)...
Thanks for the quick reply omair :good:
Does I need to be on the US and use an ATT simcard to update? I've recently bought an att note4 and it's on transit to my country.
No firmware?
After the update my device still says update available, however, it says 5.1.1 under device info. When I press continue update, it flashes "no firmware" and the icon at the top of the notification bar shows the arrows in opposite directions as if its trying to update, but nothing is happening. Any ideas as to why this occurs? Im using att straight talk and never had any issues with updates prior. Thanks in advance.
update try #3 failed as well......oh well i will be nuking the phone and trying it again.
Just finished the 5.1.1 update - no issues & phone's responsiveness is great now.
For once, add me to the list of people whose update went off without a hitch & promised enhancements actually are there.
There was a bit of sluggishness after the first reboot after install, but I'm thinking that was due to some kind of initial indexing going on in the background.
Aside from that, all apps, including Android Pay are working as before and no lag in the Recent Apps button. Text scrolling is noticibly smoother, especially when scrolling, for example, the list of installed apps in App Manager.

Mine failed too at 1%, on reboot it said the update was interrupted. Same thing happened in the initial update to Lollipop. Going to go out on a limb and guess this is related to my phone being encrypted. Wiping the phone was the only way I could get that update to take. (The little interim ones did work for me). Sure makes me wise I could backup my phone with Titanium Backup like I used to.

Am I in Trouble - MM update

I tried to sideload the update a few days ago and set my phone into a boot loop.i was able to use Odin and flash it back to 5.1.1 but now I am unable to install the security update that is available. I've tried to install it 3-4 times so far but after my phone restarts and says it is installing it quits once it gets to 25% and boots as normal. Then it comes up with a message that the install was interrupted. So I don't know what's going on with this update as I'm on a good wifi connection.
I tried again on a different network and when it got to installing 25% it gave me an install failed error once again.
Am I going to have the same issue when AT&T pushes out MM?

If I recall correctly from the Android Central thread, you had to odin reflash after an unsuccessful adb sideload attempt, like myself. The instructions in the firmware thread were to use only the AP file in odin. That's not correct, you have to use the AP,BL,CP, and CSC files to completely restore the official ATT firmware.
The same thing happened to me. The OTA failed at 25% many times. After reflashing using all the correct files,
I successfully received the OTA. I also had discrepancies in my settings which were resolved by this.
I'm not sure if that's what you did also, but if so reflashing as indicated above should have you back on track. Hope that helps!
Thanks, I'll try that because I only used the AP file in Odin.
I can't find a firmware any longer.
Never mind I got it.

I think I don't have enough posts to put a link here, but look at the thread on Android Central where you posted about
reflashing. The post from Golfdriver 97 has the link to the firmware thread on here. Just download and extract the four files and then load in Odin.

I'll try anyway to post the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-note5/general/note-5-marshmallow-odin-package-t3331843 that's the correct firmware that you used. Skip the word "marshmallow" in the title , it's lollipop.
Thanks that's exactly where I found it and you were exactly correct. I pointed all 4 of the blocks to those files and it worked like a charm. The patch update from AT&T just finished downloading so I feel good about my phone being back in working order and ready for whenever MM if finally released.
Thanks Again!

Well, i decided since my firmware was no longer seen as modified, giving a system 7 error, I would try to sideload again.
I sideloaded the PE6 firmware from linux, and this time it worked like a charm! Marshmallow at last.

I'm not skilled at Linux whatsoever so I'll just try to wait AT&T out.
