why you guys want to downgrade ? just flash kazakhstan lollipop firmware for a7. its very smooth and better than russian. just root it and remove bloatware and you are good to go

Guys I'm struck on samsung logo. I Just flashed back 4.4.4 and i'm on the samsung logo. tried pressing the power button but no power off :/ What should I do?

Russian and kazakhstan lollipop have the same changelist 4928340 - how it can be better? I heared that all these versions periodically lose sim cards (need reboot).

I flashed lollipop too, installed TWRP and got root - all works fine... but do you know is there any xposed installer for SM-A700FD? I tried some versions - all failed.
I'd like to get some options from wanam exposed...

You can install TWRP with ODIN and TWRP will ask you to install SuperSu
After reboot Supersu will update its binary. And you'll have root.

Yes, have downgraded 910G from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 several times, after testing something or the other.

i downgraded my N910c from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 . but you have to wipe data and factory reset phone

Try 4.4.4 best for battery life.

Anybody knows how to downgrade from MM 6.0.1 to KK 4.4.4 on 910C

Hello Guys,
I'm a little bit disappointed with 6.0.1, because a huge battery drain and want to back on old 4.4.4. Indeed it is old, but work really fast and battery life is much better.
Unfortunately bootloader is locked and couldn't successfully flash via Odin KK 4.4.4 firmware.
Do anybody have idea is there a chance to do that?

I'm going to downgrade too and just downloaded 4 files (pit and so on files), but didn't do that yet.
The question is: you tried to downgrade with 4 files or only with 1 file?
Thanks.

You can go back to 5.1.1 but it gets stuck after that. Trying to go back to 5.0.2 doesn't work.

i tried the pit file but not the 4 files method but didn't work , also i removed bootloader file from 4.4.4 sw and flashed it with odin successfully but got boot loop

you can not downgrade your phone to 5.0.1 and 4.4.4 ,samsung has put bootloader lock during COJ5

You can't go back to 4.4.4. You can only downgrade to 5.1.1 coj5.
//Sad for 910C. 910G bl is not locked.

still there is a possible JTAG solution , search it and you might find the methods

You have installed a custom rom and you want to go back to stock rom. Okay
Find your stock rom here (re-check your version of s5)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/
Install twrp for s5 via app (if rooted) or via odin.
google it for links.

You stuck at bootloader bootloop? Well, you need to update your bootloader. That will fix it.
There might be an update for marshmallow for Italian s5. Wait for some time.

You don't need to flash it via odin. You can do it through OTA (on the air.) You will get a notification when you have the update available.

If you want official marshmallow touch wiz, then you need to flash stock rom and then update it to marshmallow through OTA. That is what I meant.

"Firmware" is not what you should be flashing.....that is just the kernel, modem and a few other things. You need to flash a complete PB1 Restore
