Downgrade 5.1.1 to 5.0.2 - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been searching around for downgrading my GS6E to 5.0.2, and all I could find is that it's not possible due to the new bootloader. But isn't it possible to flash the engineering bootloader and then flash the stock 5.0.2 firmware over it?
Regards

im also trying to undersand this, anyone with feedback? please.

Für die, die kein Englisch verstehen können,
nein,
es ist nicht möglich von 5.1.1 auf 5.0.2 herunter zu schrauben.

Pingpongroot only works on 5.0.2 and Unikernel is only compatible with the international variant, G925F. Therefore in your case there is currently no root every custom rom requires root so no luck with that either

Wrong, Unikernel is for every variant, such as s6e 925T T-mobile. I use it to root even though my phone is on newest 5.1.1

Not completely wrong. If it works for t mobile that does not mean it works for every variant. There are actually a few more it works with but not many

Not really. The G900A (AT&T version) has a locked bootloader which means the kernel and bootloader cannot be changed. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. There are certain G900F (International version) ROMs that can run on the G900A, but it's still the G900A. For those ROMs you should go to the G900A threads to get more information and ask this question there to get better responses. This is the T-Mobile forum.
Sorry

Again, we need to know exactly what it is you want to do. Then we can advise. You have a G900T and it cannot be a G900F although it can do similar things. Exactly what are you trying to accomplish?

I have a T-Mobile S5 and am using on AT&T with Omega rom which is basically a G900F rom. But I still use the G900T's modem and boot loader. It works very well that way and is not very hard to do. If you go over to the G900F threads and read some of the ROM threads (such as Omega) it will explain how it's done.
Good Luck!

Same question, were you on Lolipop and can I use this to downgrade?
No I wasn´t on Lollipop. I just reinstalled all from scratch in order to test it for you. IDK if you can downgrade. You should try. Its an official firm.
Has anyone downgraded with this from lollipop ?
Can some one share the ota for lolli? I live in mexico and cant update my alpha.

What would happen if I try to downgrade with ODIN and it doesn't work? Would it brick or would nothing happen?
I downgraded from 5.0.2 using this firmware earlier today. It does definitely work. Too bad there's still not a root method and it looks like pitpin gave up on his.
Is it pre unlocked or do we have to get the phone unlocked again ? I am currently on unlocked lollipop.
Sim unlock has nothing to do with ROM files. The unlocked or locked status won't change.

Here's my original question.

"Anyone have a link to the KitKat 4.4 firmware for the Note 4 Edge T-Mobile?"
I am asking because I don't want to wait forever on Samsung site or the slow file sharing sites like gator.
Lol I'm surprised you didn't see the keywords.

Wow... so almost 4 years later I revisit this thread...
I took out my preserved Note Edge (TM) still on KK 4.4 from the vault and wanted to flash a good ROM on it, but they are all on LP or MM base. I really didn't like LP at all ... JB was awesome, KK is great, LP a total bust, then MM turned out to be a polished version of KK ...
I"m wanting to stay and preserve KK 4.4, rather the U1 BL and not get stuck going past U1 ...
It looks like I can only roll up to BOG2 (5.0.1) to be able to roll back to KK (baseband and all) as going over BOG2 will get it stuck on U2 ...
See the firmwares here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-edge/SM-N915T/TMB/
I'm a big fan of TEKHD ROM's and am glad to see that he has one built on the 5.0.1 base, which on BOD7 (U1) ... that looks like my only choice to stay within U1 eh?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...t/bod7-tekxodus-ne-urv1-5-16-edge-s6-t3109986
Anyone else out there still rocking their Note Edge? It's a classic for sure....
Hello. I have galaxy note edge n915f. I can't downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. My firmware build number is MMB29M.N915FXXS1DRI2 and i don't know what to do. Please help me to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. Thanks.

I have one more question for you: is this method super safe for my phone? I'm just coming back from a brick (due to my mistakes) when I was on lollipop and now I'm a bit afraid to root again. Is this method tested and working 100%? Thank you for your patience!

Yes. That's how I did when I tried Marshmallow. Other people did same as well.
You root the same way on Lollipop.
