Hello everyone,
I just bought a Note edge from Sprint and it came with Lollipop 5.1.1 pre-installed out of the box. Based on my Note 4 experience I know it's impossible to downgrade back from 5.1 to 4.4 - other than replacing the entire logic board. I need to take this downgrade so I can execute SSU to GSM unlock internationally (already donated to dev, trust me) and have @mikereidis Spirit running+recording properly. I did it on my Note 4 and it seems to work OK so I know it would work for Edge as well. I thought perhaps someone could provide a good 4.4 NANDroid file to restore from TWRP (without personal app data as I'm not looking into read your whatsapp chats or whatsoever) or link me to somewhere storing a selection of various NAND versions, I'm sure someone ever bothered to NAND KitKat, dump it and upload to web. And please spare me all your speculations about Lollipop vs Kitkat - as long as Spirit doesn't work it's kinda deal-breaker to me. I could live with NextRadio if it wasn't tied up to Americas regulations, skipping the even freqs and have too limited Stereo threshold. Don't want online streaming solutions either - I use Tunein too but it's not enough. I'd appreciate any response in advance.
I have an edge with kitkat on it. I suppose I can give you the system backup

:good:Awesome! I'd be grateful. May even pay if you want...
You bought the phone from Sprint? Was it an upgrade? Did you have to order or did you pick it up at a local store?
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA-Developers mobile app
It wasn't an upgrade nor a contract. Just ordered for full price and had my cousin to pick it up for me.
what was full price on a phone they dont even advertise on there website?

All right! I'm gonna try it in a few hours, soon as I get home and will report back how's it going. Can't wait to try it out.
========================================================================================================================
So far no luck. It gets stuck on "Note Edge" splash screen. I guess there should be more than just System partition to flash the eMMC with to boot up correctly. On my Note 4 I tick everything there is to tick and it works a treat.

Maybe not all rubrics are necessary such as EFS and Modem (it stays the latest version flashed by Odin and the same for baseband) but a complete backup template would save me a lot of frustration, unless it is too much for you to upload... *Maybe I should buy your phone, I remember I saw you mentioning it's up for sale...
i can post up the kernel. that will have it booting more than likely. what kernel were you using when trying to boot this one?
EDIT: here's the kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636004610
rename to boot.emmc.win

Still no go. Before trying yours I was using Emotion or Beastmode probably, the one came with the last custom LP ROM I flashed, since I had nothing other. Maybe I'm not doing right. The TWRP backups are recognized by a certain folder structure. Under TWRP folder which is located in either int or ext memory, there is a folder named "4fd5c215" or something alike, then you have folders named after a version build number and date of creations, where the actual backup files are. For instance the lollipop backup goes like "2016-04-03--06-53-33_LMY47X.N915PVPU4COG1". Do I need to place the Kitkat files in a similar path pattern intended for 4.4 versions?
I think it's your updated bootloader that's causing it to not boot

I used to think the same, but then I took that very non-risky gambling, downgraded my Note 4 all the way from newest Marshmellow back to 4.4!
Maybe these backups are unique to the very same device they were created on. I never tried my NANDs on another Note IVs

I know I'm the one doing wrong here. Do the folder structure and labeling syntax have to be accurate?
Freeza are youable to give him the full nandriod, i have restored nandriods to other phones as well however on the edge I've found that the phone starts up weird when you have remnants of the previous firmware full nandriod flash seems to work better, unfortunately i dont have any kitkat versions

This rom has multiwindow.jar and multiwindow.odex files inside /system/framework. If I'm not wrong those files were not present on XXALIE roms, so it could have multiwindow working...
Anyone want to try it and make a port for the SGS3? xD
Anyone with dev chops getting a vzw version and want to take a look into this dump that was graciously provided?!? Don't know if it's useful in its current form but at least it will provide somewhat of a head start. :fingers-crossed:

Considering the fact that the bootloader on the Galaxy S III was cracked and unlocked I'm pretty sure if Verizon forces Samsung to lock the bootloader that the same method can happen and get the bootloader unlocked. Sure it probably took a month or so but the bootloader was still cracked.
Coming from a Rezound which you use a paperclip to short the board to achieve s-off, anything is possible. I am optimistic about the bootloader, and for some reason we don't get it, I will be mystified, and heartbroken. Have faith in XDA. Sorry for posting in the dev section with nothing important, thanks....

Usually I care a great deal about this stuff, but in reality, beyond rooting to remove junk, using any other AOSP rom rather defeats the purpose of all the features that are included, and ONLY included with the TW rom. Split window and the like are all TW only, which means I LOVE paranoid rom, but it is highly unlikely that could be simply ported over with an app.
Other than root to remove bloat, I'm freakin STOKED to be jumping to this phone over my GS3. Booya, can't wait!

I second the Booya!
After bloatware, the sprint versions seem to have around of 9gb ram left (give or take) which is enough for me. VZ may be more or less but if they have full multi-tasking features (which seems to look good) I'll be happy as a clam.

The bootloader wasn't cracked, an unlocked version was leaked. Big difference.
Since this is sporting JB, it should at least have the disable function for the bloatware apps. Out of sight, out of mind
Can anyone confirm that the software has NFC?

I've looked around and it seems it has been an issue on previous HTC phones including the one, so it very well may be an HTC bug with some people, I was just curious if anyone (or all) running this specific rom were experiencing it. Not a big deal, just something I noticed. Again, keep up the great work!
Disclaimer: Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do on your device. I left this stock to provide a base for anybody that wants to use it. Mod this rom how you want. Just please remember to give credit where credit is due.
This is a pure stock rooted rom. It has items like busybox, init.d support, unsecure boot.img and so forth. No apps were added or removed. Both Odexed and Deodexed versions below.
This is using stock unmodified zImage from HTC. Kernel source can be grabbed from HTCDev when they decide to release it

Thanks to rhcp for the dump and testing

Here is a unsecured version of the boot.img I made. Either flash via fastboot, put into the rom.zip from above, or someone can make a flashable zip for it.
This kernel is unsecure for root, and adb superuser permissions (being able to mount system r/w via adb).
Again, it's only the boot.img, not a flashable zip.

If you got it from the website I think you did, then I'm not surprised that it's legitimate considering I've been told the same thing.

If not, then it's probably just a bug with the flash. If it was un-official firmware, the bootloader would never have accepted it.

Does Samsung pay work again? There are reports that using Kies 3 restores it's functionality. Unfortunately, it appears AT&T doesn't supply firmware through Kies. I doubt Odin flashes will restore Samsung pay functionality, but we won't know until someone confirms it one way or the other. Probably for the same reason that your system still shows custom even though it is running official firmware.

That statement is untrue, with TWRP 5-14 you can flash special partitions. See this.

Yes! Download the latest Hicare app from the playstore, open it and click on ROM upgrade it should start . U wont lose any data/apps!

That doesn't mean it is totally trustworthy as I created a backup of my KIW-L21 B140 before upgrading to MM B330 with TWRP 5-14.
As I didn't like MM B330, I wanted to revert back to Lollipop B140 using my backup and my device got bricked. I tried again twice, bit it got even worse (locked up to the honor logo with a red h letter and no access to the bootloader nor to the recovery screen) !
So i used a full B140 firmware in the dload folder : I had to remove the sdcard from device to copy the firmware from a computer.
Then it took me a long time before I could access the recovery hotkeys : Power+Volume+ & Volume-, and I finally reverted back to B140.
I finally used twrp-3.0.2-0-kiwi to restore my initial B140 backup, and even though the red h letter is still there, my system is now fully functional...
I really hate the way Huawei/honor are handling the updates and the update policy !!!

it's unfortunate you had a bad experience using the 5-14 TWRP version but I can assure you your case is unique and I can show you numerous cases where people restored my b151 backup to get their phone back up and running for many different reasons. Returning to lollipop from MM is not the main purpose of the backup but it does work long enough to do the dload/update.app method to get everything back to stock.
Their is an even newer more powerful version of TWRP posted by @yuweng here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67851428&postcount=2 that would make it even easier to revert from MM to L without the need of the dload/update.app
I personally used this backup just to test and it worked perfectly

and I have created a new one that includes tz.img which seems to be a key identifier of the OS version

I don't know if this is related with TWRP 5-14 AND with my KIW-L21 but I feel really tired and fed up with Huawei/Honor incremental updates !!!
The Android Security update for MM B330 was simply dated May 2016 EMUI 4.0 was somewhat laggy and worse the Call recorder I got working with Lollipop was not working anymore with MM !!!
I don't know yet which Trade Mark will be my next smartphone, but I'll probably reboot to Samsung, even if it costs more... ^^

Yeah, I heard about this a while ago, but I couldn't figure out why you bought the Note 5 when it doesn't have SD Card slot ???
I'm still using my Note 3 most of the time and I'm very happy with it. The display is simply wowww.
I'm now awaiting after the Samsung foldable smartphone (I mean foldable display).

I no longer need a sdcard, I have the 32 gig note 5 and use Play Music and Amazon Prime music along with a premium Audible account for work
unlimited cloud storage for my photos and videos ... the phone typically has over 10 gigs available. (it's running stock MM for now never even bothered to root it)
