But i already had the phone connected to my pc when i loaded the md5 file. And the ID:com box was not blue, so i disconnected the phone, restarted odin and loaded the file. And when it loaded i reconnected the phone to the pc and it said it was installing the USB drivers and then the box was coloured blue and then in the message box was: Added!!

And its appreciable how you try to reply to comments. Keep up the good work! Thanks for that feedback Aditya. Hey Raleigh, do you happen to remember the error you were given?

Can anyone please tell me how to stop my Verizon Note 4 from updating to this crap Lollipop? And thank you so much for giving a solution for the bootloop at the end of the tutorial!!
I try to write my tutorials as clear and simple as possible so that there is no room for error. Would it work the same way as on Galaxy Note 4, Thanks!! Hi Yong. The only difference would be that you need to download a firmware for the Galaxy Tab A, instead of the Galaxy Note 4. Please Help! Hey there, When I download the Odin installer Norton goes nuts and removes it.
When I make an exception for this and then start the install Norton says that an attempt to install a Trojan Horse is being made. When I used the source in the link above my default search engine in IE was hijacked.
Is there an alternative to Odin? Am I too cautious? You definitely should not use the one you just linked. I am going to remove that so no one else downloads from it and gets infected.
It seems like Norton is catching it as a false positive or something. Again, if your Norton says that it is infected as well then it has to be a false positive. Hi Mel. Yes, these instructions will work for the Galaxy Note Edge. I had to wipe the cache and then factory reset to get it to boot up. After that it worked perfect. Hi Aditya.
Yes, this will work on the retail Verizon variant of the Galaxy Note 4. You just need to make sure you download the firmware that matches the model number of your device. I also ran into the bootloop after installing on the phone…cleared cache still had the loop then a factory reset did the trick. This downgrade has solved ALL of those problems. Huge thumbs up. Hi thanks for sharing. After the downgrade, my Note 4 still encounters bootloops from time to time.
I did erase cache and put it back in factory setting but to no avail. Please help. It sounds like something may have went wrong with the firmware you downloaded. I would delete the one you have on your computer, download a fresh copy from SamMobile and then try the whole process again. When researching a solution to this, I was unable to find someone experiencing this error right on the rpm.
It typically happens right after on the aboot. This leads me to believe that it might be from a bad download or extraction of the firmware. Please delete the firmware you have on file and download another from SamMobile and then tell me if that helps you. Based on my own research,i think its because of my firmware version which is OE1. I have seen only one person with the same issue on xda developers forum,but no solution yet.
This worked like a charm. I did experience the same issue bootloop that Evan Fafard had but I was able to resolve it with a reset. I do have one question though with the following sequence. The factory reset should be done before step 5 since any changes you make should be restored to default by the factory reset. Nop, no root needed. I was worried about needing to root. It sounds like the phone you bought is still SIM locked.
When you get a phone from a carrier it will be locked to only use a SIM from that carrier. I did a quick Google search and found conflicting info.
Thanks for this article. Lollipop 5. Ruined my battery life and stability. Back to KitKat with no problems by following this article.

Then you can restore from this backup after you downgrade or factory reset. It didnt work for me. I have the verizon version. After 1 second of clicking start it says fail. Any insight to what may be causing this? Have you tried with a different USB cable? Or possibly a different computer? Just tried with all of the above.
From what I understand the firmware on the phone is preventing a new firmware install? Could this be a new patch they have done OTA to keep us from downgrading? Please advise, very frustrating.

Thanks to this tutorial I have solved a problem with the update to Lollipop. Here it is:. Both my phones have the same make and model sm-NF , but with different providers. One is Vodafone dutch and the other is with Telfort dutch. The Vodafone was the one with the problems, half-sided freese-frame, bad connections on talking, etc….
After numereous resets and upgrades using Samsung software and hard resets which did nothing , I have discovered that there is a generic update for this model, without the bugs.

I have got the problem that on my galaxy note 4 sm-nf , half off my screen sort of freezes. It is not the screen itself it works perfectly , but it has something to do with the underlying software to the actual hardware video.
I know this to be an issue specific to the European model, but do you have an answer on where to look inside the innerhalfs of the damn thing? I have already tried several things, like down- and upgrading, but then it works fine for about an hour or so, but then when google kicks in with all of its unwanted stuff, it goes straight into half-screen mode.

One moment it works just fine and the next, without warning, there it is again. It keeps asking for my samsung id, and says processing failed when I enter my account..
