Downgrading from 6.0.1 - 5.1.1?????? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, let me say hello to everyone. I read the forums a lot but rarely post. This forum is a Great resource!! Thank you al for making it what it is.
Now, my issue. I have a Galaxy Note 4 SH-N910V which is currently running on 6.0.1.. From what I've read, I need to downgrade that to 5.1.1 just so I can root it, and then go from there. The problem is, I have to have root to flash a custom ROM. I seem to be stuck in a vicious cycle .
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get around this?
I want to root and then install a custom rom, but as you can see, I'm somewhat new to flashing and all that, and truth be told, I'm probably getting in over my head. It's all good though, i'muse to learning things the hard way
Thanks in advance!

You're correct, you will need to flash the bpa1 firmware for 5.1.1 and get your bootloader unlocked on Lp first. Here's a pretty good thread on the Lp unlock process and for downgrading your bootloader you can use this download. After you get unlocked on Lp, you can move forward to the unlock process for mm.

Cool, thanks. I've got it flashed to 5.1.1 but havent done anything with thee bootloader..

Hi Michael... I'm in the same boat as you... How did you flash the 5.1.1 rom?

I used the guide at the link below but I stopped at step 9 when I got stuck in a bootloop. I later found that a bootloop at that step is normal. You just pull your battery and leave it out for a minute and then fire it back up and it's ok.
Gonna give it another shot today.

Michael,
Did your install of "N910VVRU2BPA1_StockRestore.tar.md5?" complete successfully in odin?

Watch this guide fellas... https://youtu.be/cfpehEkhfyg
Most of the forums on the note 4 on xda are very confusing because they include firmware/files you do not want to use to root and unlock.

You shouldn't get caught in a bootloop until you unlock. And that will be caused by the sd card. The process looks more daunting than it is. If you need any help, let me know.

I think I have a problem. I got to step 9 and got the bootloop so I panicked and flashed a recovery for 6.0.1. The phone works fine, but when I try to do a system restore it boots to recovery mode.it that top, in yellow, it shows 6.0.1. BUT,,, when I look at the "about phone", it does show that I'm on 5.1.1.
Should I continue with the process from step 9? Or should I just do a system update and start over with a fresh 6.0.1?
Edit,,,I should add that, I am able to get root with kingroot, but the phone reboots after a few minutes and root is gone.

Noob here! How can i UNroot my phone?

I want to UNroot my phone/restore my phone due to the fact that I believe I may have done something wrong in the process. I am on 5.0.1
When I turn my phone on, I do get the welcome screen saying my phone's unlocked and all but when I try to use xposed installer it says that my device is not properly rooted?
Specifically it says " The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?" When I try to do this, it says
"Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (armeabiv7a)
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libdvm.so" needed by" /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/app_process";
cause by library "libdvm.so" not found"
And I believe I had a very hard time (when rooting) copying and pasting the SuperSU to internal storage. Not all the files were actually being transferred over.
I pretty much want to restore my phone so that I can try to root it properly this time.
When the tutorial on how root our phones came out, I feel as though I rushed it from excitement without properly educating myself on what to watch out for.
Maybe I am only HALF rooted? lol sounds so stupid. but my greenify works and superSU grants access to everything. I just don't understand.
My last phone was iphone4 and jailbreaking that was easy. This is something else.
Can anyone help? Thank you for your time!

Do you happen to know if this will automatically upgrade me to the newest OTA upgrade?
I want to stay on 5.1.1 so I can try to root it properly. And I've been delaying the OTA upgrade since day 1 and still doing so even with the supposed root I have on my phone right now.

If you're going to root your phone, you don't want to take the OTA. You'll just have to downgrade to Lollipop anyway.
Use ODIN and flash the full firmware. 5.1.1 should be good. @hsbadr has a thread in the Development forum with all of the firmware that's available. It'll save you the slow download speed of Sammobile.
If when you go into download mode and you see "mode: developer," you're pretty close to root. Flash SuperSU and TWRP and you'll be there.

"If when you go into download mode and you see "mode: developer," you're pretty close to root. Flash SuperSU and TWRP and you'll be there."
Can you elaborate a little more on this for me? Because when I first rooted I made sure to do EVERY step. Read the forums and watched youtube videos directly linked from the forum.
The thing I just didn't know how to do correctly was flashing the SuperSU and TWRP (I THINIK)
I sincerely just remember trying to copy and paste some files into system storage? something like that... and not EVERYTHING was transferring over.
When I turn on my phone I get the welcome screen with the picture of the unlocked lock with "custom" underneath. So I know I must have done SOMETHING correctly.
Im just sincerely lost. It's quite infuriating .

Go into download mode. From phone off, hold the volume down, power and home buttons together. If it says "mode: developer" in the upper left hand corner when you get it in developer mode, your bootloader is unlocked. At that point you can pick up the instructions for flashing SuperSU and TWRP. You may need to flash the Emotion kernel... it's been awhile since I unlocked Lollipop.

As long as you use the stock firmware from SamMobile and follow the directions in the video, EXACTLY ......... don't take any shortcuts. You will need to join SamMobile to get the download but its simple and free.

Hey! Thank you for the advice!
I downloaded the firmware from @hsbadr ! Will that work? Or is it better for me to download it from SamMobile? I want to make sure I don't do anything incorrectly.
p.s. have you already rooted your phone?

SamMobile is very reliable but if you trust your source then you should be OK. I have done the root thing many times years ago but I'm happy with stock firmware and I need my devices to work without issue so I leave well enough alone.

After following the guide above, you will gain root on BPA1.
Then from there, you'll use this guide by hsbadr, to upgrade to marshmallow. It's a long process, but it's worth it. Also, make sure that you have a mobile data connection during the marshmallow upgrade, because your Wi-Fi won't work. After you've update to CPJ2 using this guide, you can then flash EmotionOS.

I forgot to tell you that if Kingo Root doesn't work, try King Root. Also, if you get a root successful message, don't even use root checker, as long as you know you've got root. Just move into the adb steps, temp root is very touchy and can reboot your phone at any time, so try to go through the adb steps quickly.

Used king root and learned to be real quick.
I then pasted all those ABD commands and got twrp installed but when I rebooted, I got boot loops. :-/
so I booted into recovery and wound up installing Jasmine rom 4.3 ( Mjust happened to have on my original old micro sd ) to avoid starting all over, and it seems to have taken!
Looks like I still have root.
Seems to run fine without installing oscar Kernel and SUper SU, should I still install those two?
Can I uninstall king root?
Im thinking I should make a backup through twrp, what do you think?
Thnaks again, can't wait to proceed to Hsbard's 7.1.1!

Yeah, you should probably make a backup in twrp, just so you don't have to start over again if anything goes wrong. Were you running 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 before you flashed JasmineROM?
5.1.1 from the video walkthrough you suggested,
Seems to run fine without installing oscar Kernel .
Thanks again, can't wait to proceed to Hsbard's 7.1.1!

You're welcome, please post a screenshot of your About Phone section, I want to see what build and baseband you're on, and yes, you can uninstall King Root. The boot loop that you had after rooting could have been fixed by pulling the battery and or SD card.

Okay, so it seems like you're on the correct baseband, however, you probably shouldn't have flashed JasmineROM after rooting. You skipped the second guide that I posted. After you root stock 5.1.1 BPA1, you then need to upgrade to 6.0.1 from there before you can flash EmotionOS. I'm not entirely sure if you can still use the second guide that I posted since you're no longer on stock BPA1. For the most part, I think that you can, so if you're willing to risk it, use that second guide I posted to update to 6.0.1, this is also where you'll be needing a data connection since the your Wi-Fi won't be working.

I panicked at the boot loops and thought to myself, "what do I have to lose by flashing jasmine, a 5.1.1 rom?"
My other option, I thought, was to start all over again, which I still may have to do.

Honestly, I have no idea what the problem could be, as I'm on T-Mobile and not Verizon. Try asking around the CM13 thread and see if another VZW user has the same issue.

HELP. TL:DR tried 3 thread still back to lock and unroot

I followed 3 threads. Still i cant do it. I ended up like bootloop or stock in logo. Sometimes it success but no wifi and Many errors (too many to mention).
At some point i give up in rooting and unlocking. I just ended up upgrading my phone in verizon software pc just to get back to normal.
I hope there anyone could help me with this. I want that nougat flash rom. ?
Links for thread or video tutorial would be a big thanks.

Which part are you getting stuck on? To be honest most of the guides I've seen have several unnecessary steps in them, but it does require much patience especially if you're a beginner or been out of the game for awhile. I would stick to the original thread by ryanbg and pay close attention to the first ten pages of that thread. That's when everyone was learning it at the same time and a lot of the basics are covered.

And your bootloader is locked still? If you're not sure, are you able to boot to a custom recovery (twrp)? If your bootloader is still locked you will have to use Odin and flash the bpa1 firmware to get back to lollipop (5.1.1). Once you're on 5.1.1 you can unlock and root. There currently is no other way to unlock without using 5.1.1.

I followed 3 threads. Still i cant do it. I ended up like bootloop or stock in logo. Sometimes it success but no wifi and Many errors (too many to mention).
At some point i give up in rooting and unlocking. I just ended up upgrading my phone in verizon software pc just to get back to normal.
I hope there anyone could help me with this. I want that nougat flash rom.
Links for thread or video tutorial would be a big thanks.

You were supposed to bootloop it bud (its an indicator that script in the zip changed your CID) you should now flash recovery then from recovery flash compatible kernel (is why its its bootlooping)

And almost forgot .....you cannot have sdcard used in unlock in phone unless you formatted it.

Rooting 7.1.2 N2G47Z?/flashing viper4android?

I haven't rooted a phone or really messed with a phone in a year or so.. really rusty.. can't find which root to use. Or which twrp.. or which viper. My last phone got stuck in a boot loop from me messing with it so I'm trying to be careful.. I'd really appreciate some help.. really sick of this audio and would like to get better battery life..
To root you should first go to here http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ and download and install it, it is an all in one rootkit for Nexus devices. Choose model and then do Full driver install, click unlock bootloader and follow steps and then click root + flash recovery and follow those steps. I dont know about Viper though.
I was gonna use nrt but it doesn't seem like it's been updated at all lately..

Need help Rooting d85130g

I recently bought an unlocked g3 off ebay with the latest update. Kingroot doens't work and so far i guess the only way to root it would be to downgrade first but i'm a total noob to rooting and the only threads i've found on that have invalid links to the tools i'd need. Was wondering if somebody could help me out with a crystal clear eli5 guide to rooting or w/e i need to do to downgrade then root. Thanks.

So all that works, and youll be able to root but only temproot until you reboot your g3 then youll have to root all over again.

If you follow the guide, you would also install TWRP & SuperSU and keep root.
