Hi if anyone can help- I'm on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 after 2 Note 7's and a Note 3 before that on Biggin's so I've sorta been out of the root game. I want to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I am downloading the full firmware for the Note 4 from further back in this thread (N910VVRU2CPA1) and am currently on (N910VVRU2CPG2).
From what I understand, I need to do a factory reset, then go to Odin and flash the firmware. I have Odin 3.10.7 and am downloading the N910VVRU2CPA1 as we speak. I see 'hsbadr' firmwares in his thread and the PIT file TRLTE_USA_VZW.pit which I'm not sure is compatable pit file for the specific 5.1.1 firmware or the necessary pit file is included in the full firmware and can anyone tell me if these are the right steps?are these the right steps Any information would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
@tjmethod by chance how did you process go, did you manage to root and unlock bootloader?

I bought the phone already with 6.0.1 on it and read that you cannot unlock/ root it with mm on it and can only be done after downgrading to 5.1.1 so I haven't done anything yet
I'm in the same boat...Coming from a n7. Bought a n4 on eBay...It's got 601. Want to root...Guess we need to downgrade....Is it possible?

Before you can start rooting, you'll need to be on 5.1.1 BPA1. If you're currently on 6.0.1, just download the BPA1 firmware from Sammobile, factory reset on 6.0.1, then flash BPA1 stock via Odin.

Hi thanks, I had called Samsung and talked to top tier tech support and was told that once the phone has been upgraded to 6.0.1., it cannot be downgraded. and that i need to search the rooting sites and try to find where someone has found a breach or workaround for unlocking the bootloader which will usually have a bounty but I dont know. top tier tech support has always been good. Do you think thats false it cannot be downgraded?

It's definitely false, when I rooted my phone, I downgraded from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 without any issues.

I will definately give it a go when I have the time, have you flashed a rom and if so which one, there must be some or some tweaks to get rid of the lag?

I am a little confused as to whether I've found the right firmwares but I've found the firmwares here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
If I am downgrading to 5.1.1. which this phone was obviously on before, I don't know what this phone was on since it currently is on the PL1 build which are not one of the two 6.0.1. builds on this page. I don't even know if that matters.. Anyway, the two 5.1.1. builds are PA1 and OK3. Do you know where any other firmwares out there that might show my current one and the previous build that it came from?
Thanks-

You want the PA1. It's really easy. Just sounds more complicated then it is. I am using the PaulPizz rom. It is very stable, good battery life, and spen and sview work. If you need any help, let me know.

Yeah they're out there but that thread hasn't been updated recently. Basically the order after pf3 is pg2, pj2, and then cpl1. The one you want, if your planning on rooting, is bpa1. Also, as far as your question in the op about the pit file, it should really only be used if absolutely necessary. It's in case your partitions have been corrupted for some reason and you need to repartition your device.
Edit- I was going to link to those other firmwares but they are buried in the thread that your already looking in. Either way they aren't necessary for you to unlock your bootloader, you can go straight from cpl1 to bpa1.

Hey thanks for confirming all this. So all I need to download and install is the bpa1 firmware via Oden with the AP button I think- I've got a few different versions of Oden on my pc. It's been a while since I've flashed firmware on a phone but I remember it was easy. So just save my pictures, any files, etc. on the sd card, remove it, then do a factory reset or when I put the setting into usb download mode, and flash the firmware this will automatically factory reset the phone? Also earlier today Verizon has been trying to push an software upgrade. After I unlock the bootloader and install twrp then flash a rom, do I need to somehow disable the update notice. I remember having to do that once with another phone.
What rom are you on? Thanks again for the Info-

Yeah that all sounds spot on. I would definitely do the factory reset before you start, but other than that your good. To block the updates, you can uninstall the SDM apps. There are 2 of those and you'll need root to remove them, but you can disable them without root with that debloater tool. The rom I'm currently using is kind of work in progress. I have a couple stock based roms in the dev section, one is stock_plus that has a stock feel with some mods added and the other is Modest Rom that is got some grace apps added and system ui mods. You can find them here and here if you want to check them out.

Custom kernels help a lot. The problem is it's kind of slim pickings for our specific model, but some of the international kernels work well too. Oscar kernel is made for the 910v so that's probably the most reliable but if your like me, I like to use a permissive kernel and Ram kernel is not a bad choice for that though it's not as feature rich.

I really dont know the difference... from what I remember a kernel is the layer between the software and the hardware- a key component of the os. I'm guessing the permissive ones can be used for different roms or firmware? You can probably tell I really don't that much about the root game. The last time I flashed a firmware was on my note 3 after I bricked it. Then rerooted and got on to biggins rom which was great ut I never understood or learned how to use xposed. Anyway, I downloaded Modest Rom, PJ2 _STOCK .tar and am downloading cpl1_tar but I know that once I flash bpa1 firmware which puts the phone back on 5.1.1. I see your roms are 6.0.1 roms, after I flash the bpa1, will the bootloader be unlocked? If so can I then just flash the cpla1_tar or is that not a full firmware? or use one of the two 6.0.1 firmwares from where I found the cpa1? Are the kernels different from 6.0.1 and 5.1.1 and where to find the downloads?? I appreciate the tips especially coming from a develpoer and i'm happy to make a donation- I'm not sure how?
Thanks again!

Hey buddy, did you get it figured out? I broke my arm at work on Sunday and of course it's my right arm so I'm having some issues responding back on my note with one hand. I bet I've dropped this thing 20 times already.

Oh man that sucks- hopefully they gave you some good pain meds. Anyway, I havent taken th plunge yet- once I get on to 5.1.1 then twrp, I want to go on to 6.0.1 but am unsure as to what point the bootloader is unlocked or exactly what to do to upgrade to 6.0.1 once I crack the bl. I just dont want to go through the dreaded set up everything twice.
Hello all the people out there.
Im new in the forum and english is not my mother language so, please be kind.
Hardware:
Moto G5 cedric (XT1060)
Situation:
Installed twrp-3.2.1-0-cedric.img without problems
Installed lineage-15.1-20180415-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip without problems
Installed open_gapps-arm64-8.1-aroma-20181116.zip without problems
Problem:
When the phone inits, the fingerprint sensor does nothing at all.
When i go to Security > Screen lock the fingerprint option doesnt exists at all. Exploring the coms (Apps > All Apps) i dont see the fingerprint service installed.
I have installed the "Ampare Fingerprint test" app and when run only says "Native Fingerprint API not found!".
Thing done:
Flash all again (TWRP + Lineage 15.1 + gapps) and the situation is the same.
Anyone have an idea and can guide me?

Hi Andrej_SK, thanks for your reply.
This phone was never flashed.
I had the stock version and it was updated with Android Oreo 8.1, which was updated a few weeks ago.

If you installed stock Oreo 8.1 using any method (OTA, Fastboot...), you have to downgrade to stock Nougat first (using fastboot image) to make fingerprint work with CustomROMs. However, you need unlocked bootloader to downgrade. Don't flash both gpt and bootloader (if flashed any of these, you will get hardbrick because gpt/bootloader downgrade is not allowed). Also, don't run erase modem commands, they will wipe your IMEI in this case. As soon as you downgrade to stock Nougat, check the fingerprint availibility in Settings. If you can see options related to it, you're good to go - you can install any CustomROM as you normally would and your fingerprint will work.

Hi Andrej_SK, really thanks for your help.
Sorry but I'm pretty new flashing android 6+.
Lets see if i have done the correct step.
Flashed 7.x Nougat following this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/official-stock-moto-g5-cedric-firmware-t3733897
IMEI is OK, fingerprint working perfectly.
This has erased TWRP, so, now i can install TWRP and then install any custom rom?

Yes. Keep in mind that if you want to install any Oreo CustomROM, you need to do it using 64bit TWRP. If you decide to install Gapps alongside with any Oreo CustomROM too, use this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/how-to-repair-bootloop-oreo-roms-t3791189 to avoid bootloop.

Andrej_SK I have no words to thank you for your help.
I decided to continue using the stock rom, at least until Lineage OS is in a more stable state.
Some functions work better and I really need them.

Hello,
I'm facing the same problem, I came Stock rom Oreo 8.1 and then fingerprint is not working on any custom rom I've tested.
Detail: Project Treble does not even start the boot for me.
I will perform the procedure that you mentioned and leave the feedback here if the problem was solved since I saw in other forums for this device that many are with the same problem.
Edit
I downgraded to the Nougat stock rom and installation rom Pixel Experience 8.1, fingerprint is working for me now =D
Thanks Andrej_SK for the great help
Hey there, can't get my fingerprint to work on LOS 17.1, it's like it's there, but it doesn't react to anything. When I go to the fingerprint settings, it ask me to touch it in order to setup the thing, but when I place my finger on it, it does nothing. Did anyone ever heard of this issue or any fix for it? Thanks in advance.

hi, I'd like to know if there were any way I could revert back to marshmallow without bricking the device. I was thinking about rooting my phone, download the stock a520 6.0 rom zip file and flash it with the recovery menu. First I don't wanna brick it, second I'm not sure I can find some flashable zip file.
I did this with my old Motorola moto g 3 and never had any problems.
do you guys think it'll work and so where I could find those files? also if there's any other safe way to do it share it please!
Thanks in advance!

I don't think it will work because Samsung has anti rollback in its phones which prevents the bootloader from being downgraded. However, a system and boot flash might work. I don't know about the modem though.
Samsung is one of the few brands that implement it.
I don't really see the use though as it is quite possible to bootloop and if done incorrectly, could result in a hard brick.

that is what I thought... I think the only real solution would be to find a custom Rom of the Stock 6.0 but untouched. It would not need the bootloader to be downgraded would it?
I really like samsung phones but I hate the way the treat costumers, it feels like being fooled.
Thank you for your reply though !

When I bought my Moto g 2015 it was very fast and that was surprising. All the updates started to drain the battery and make the device work slower . I tried almost all the custom Rom possible and after flashing back the stock 5.1 out of the box version I have to admit they wanted the device to become slow with all the updates.
Now when I received my A5 it was already running nougat. I think the best you can get from your phone is with the outbox version because everything is planned to be running perfectly so people buy it. For me even though it brings new features and stuff, update wont get you device any better.
So ya that's the reason I'd like to downgrade.

You could extract the system and boot out of the stock firmware, but I don't know if it's worth the risk.

Motorola got in trouble for that. Others too. It's illegal now, so you should leave out that theory.
I've had only positive experiences with my last 5 smartphones. Upgrading does precisely that...makes it better. An OEM would not produce an upgrade without testing it. That's why we had a better experience with Nougat and even better with Oreo.
What do you do differently with Oreo than you did with Nougat?
So I'm kinda noob to this, the Situation is that i have my HTC 10 with unlocked bootloader (TWRP 3.3.1-0-) and S-on. I had stock nougat 7.0 but one day i tried to flash a custom rom called Pixel Experience based on android 10, it failed, so i started to search roms and one called crdoid worked! But the sim, imei, etc doesn't work... How can i fix it? Like i've said in the beginning... I don't know to much of this, i've search so much for a stock rom to my device but it seems that my especific model isn't downloadble.
It is 2.24.593.81, I'm from southamerica, if you know can i fix it, please tell me thanks for your time
Try another rom, this is happening because of your rom that you have installed. Change your rom and everything will be ok.
