All credit for this exe goes to dottat, weaksauce and firewater to jcase. I'm just a guy who found out this works for downgrading.
Download 605.1 exe from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-dna/general/official-exe-ruus-s-t2935556
Follow instructions from exe, plug in phone etc.
After it finishes you will be in 605.1 ota firmware and ready to s-off using firewater and weaksauce.
, from there, install twrp using fastboot
instructions for firewater/weaksauce :

One case where I will be more than happy to be wrong too ... You can still buy us a beer or some wine for jcase lol... just saying.
*edit- I just saw you post on twitter and suggest you change your tune. You wouldn't be rooted right now were it not for work we both spent time on to make it possible. Left to yourself you would be sitting unrooted. Show some gratitude instead of telling the very same people who helped you to get REKT.
are you referring to the one where i apologized to justincase?

Be glad this was switched to this before they lost the motivation to brick their own devices and waste countless hours trying to find an exploit that takes you minutes to enjoy for the lifetime of the phone.

Are you ready to place nice in the sandbox and show some gratitude towards those who contribute to your fun? The alternative is you work on your exploits and recovery methods?
Two things I don't detect/see in this thread are 1) an original guide and 2) contrite words.

I won't reitorate what has already been said off-site. OP apologized to Jcase. Congrats on finding an alternative method, you did what was suggested when you don't like how something is being done.
This thread however is not a guide and as such, can be treated as a general discussion and for the time being will have the title modified to reflect so.
Further discussion about "sticking it to the man" is over.
Yes this isn't a communist country but XDA is not a country. Your rights here are subject to the rules we outline to you and nothing more so show some respect.
That is all.

Most people here appreciate the work of jcase and beaups, unfortunately there are a few who don't treasure the developer's hard work. $25 is not much compared to the amount of doors they open when their work unlocks our phones. In the Sunshine thread there was someone who claimed they purposefully stopped weaksauce from working so the developers could get their $25 bucks via Sunshine. Despicable.
Anyway, I'm posting this because I just watched a presentation by jcase. In it he describes android vulnerabilities and a few times he mentioned the DNA. Finding exploits may be their hobby but they spend a bunch of time and effort on this and it has made my experience with the DNA awesome.

Doesn't work
I'm trying to downgrade from 605.5 to 605.1 and RUU doesn't work.
Gives me an 171 error and the log says it failed to verify for signatures.
Any thoughts?

Yeah. EXE version.
On the surface it says USB connection error 171 but the log says 12 signature verify fail. So I guess i really doesn't have anything to do with the USB connection.

Of course they did. What did everyone expect from VZ? They are pricks!
One assumes this no longer works now? Since Verizon is a giant doucebag and they think that by no letting s officially unlock the bootloader it isn't gonna happen anyways?
confirmed as of 11.21.2012 11pm
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: 160.
Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.
This thread, as well as a few others claiming to be "All-In-One Toolkits" etc. should be moderated. Unfortunately this is a guide for early model phones with S-Off and those able to have unlocked with HTCDev.
As much as everybody else here, I'd love to see a real root for the actual "consumer" phone for Verizon. Fair?

Now I take offense to that and your facts aren't correct. S-off users don't need this.
If you'd "love" to see real root, why don't you figure it out yourself? We do what we can to help. Hell, I don't even own the phone and I still try to help. Have you contributed? You have 4 thanks. I have over 2,800. I think we all know who contributed here more.

The kind of people who have a device that came S-off probably don't need a toolkit.
Honestly - I have no idea why you are hostile about this.
Most of us who got the phone today - and read a headline that says: [TOOL] HTC Droid DNA All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 [11-18-12] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof] probably assume it means they can root their phone (which is obviously not the case).
Just change the headline - since (at the moment) - it is inaccurate. No one is slamming your work - your thread title is just misleading.

Hasoon2000.. Your work is well appreciated and I did try your toolkit and found out that it wouldn't work but I still APPRECIATE the fact that you took the time to put up this toolkit... It's Awesome devs like you that keep us users Happy with our devices....To anyone that commented against hasoon2000's work as misleading well its not like it took you 3 days to figure out that Verizon locked our bootloaders.. a quick reply to him would do fine not this sarcastic response like seen in the earlier posts!!! If it wasnt for devs like him, you would be holding a brick so be happy that we have devs like hasoon that help us get the most out of our devices!! Thanks Hasoon and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! WE ALL DO APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU PUT INTO THIS!!!!!!!:good:

The way I see it is...
as always it goes with out saying, BUT Im going to say it anyway... serach before posting PERIOD!
If youre a DEV and are helping get the phone soff'd and rooted. Do/Say what you please with out misleading.
If youre not a DEV then you should only be posting Bugs/comments directed to the work and not to the DEV.
You have to either have a big set of kahunas or youre a straight up idiot to try and tell someone what they should be doing, when youre doing nothing productive...

So Verizon has dropped the newest firmware upgrade. I would like to upgrade, but I am suspicious that like all other firmware upgrades, it will cause me to lose root. The Firmware I am talking about it PDA:NK1 / PHONE:NK1 / CSC:NK1 (VZW). I am currently on "NG6" and was forced to use xposed framework plus wanam exposed to achieve device stability. Supposedly, the new firmware is much more stable, and I am hoping that those apps/mods will not be required to achieve stability with it. However, root access is essential to everything I do on the phone, and currently, I have found no posts regarding rooting the device post NK1 upgrade. Please feel free to enlighten me. Thanks in advance!
I do now see that there is a thread at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613 , but It just doesn't give me enough confidence to go through with it. The user hasn't tested it on all Verizon versions of the phone and I REALLY don't want to lose root or a lot of data...plus safestrap is sketchy at best...

Tried and tested by many S4 users.
And Safestrap is used by 90% of the S4 users here on xda.
It may not be a true recovery that allows for kernel flashing but it beats staying full stock.
I commend these guys for giving us the options we have.
They don't HAVE to do any of this for us.

Older SafeStraps have had no problem but as the newer ones have been released, there seem to be more and more bugs...I have used SS in the past without many problems but SS 3.75 is not currently functional for me...so some help on the matter would be nice...

I don't use the new iterations that have popped up recently.
It doesn't bother me to flash on my stock side so I use 3.72 version that hashcode put out himself.
If you want slots I would post in the safestrap thread though.
I'm mobile right now but can get you a link to hashcode's 3.72 as soon as I can.

Don't know if there is a SS 3.72 or 3.73 that allows slots...but being able to flash on slots is incredibly important to me as I have clients....that only use stock roms, so I have to quickly be able to go into the "regular" crappy rom and give them specific step by step instructions over the phone. Also, I have yet to find a custom rom that can compete with the battery life supplied by the Verizon stock rom. I am all ears for one that does, but in my experience, at best, I may get half the battery life of the "stock but modified rom."
I tried that root method yesterday from ng6 -> nk1 and it worked without a hitch!
Good morning/afternoon/evening, all -
I recently hard-bricked my S4 trying to flash. It came up as a QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows device manager. I tried several different approaches to fix the bootloader, but eventually had to send it to a service to try to JTAG it.
He reports it still cannot boot, and has requested - from someone with a ROOTED I545 ON OC1 (do we know anyone like that?) - the following file:
Ok, you need an I545 in OC1 with root access. We need to create a dump of about 128MB. You can do this by using ADB shell and type
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump.bin bs=128 count=1000000
This will create a 128mb file on the internal storage of the phone which you can copy back to the computer and send to me.

Ya a lot messed up and upgraded to OF1 thinking it was good. Post this in stang thread. Just because more traffic. I'm on mdk or I would gladly do it for you. But he shouldn't need any of that for a jtag. Actually I'll post it on my thread for you to try and get things moving faster. I know how it feels to be without my precious lol.

You rock, man. Thanks. If this doesn't work, then it's "a hardware problem" and I need to scare up a new one.
At least if it's "a hardware problem," I can feel a little better about hosing the poor thing - it was just it's time to go. :crying::crying:

Take it from someone who worked on this device for a long time. SD Card Debrick does not not work on anything above NC5. We have all tried many times. Looks like beginning with the NK1, SBL1 no longer searches for the SD Card as a bootable device.

Should ask jtag guy to dump imem and pbl while he's in there
... and YES! IT LIVES!!!
Will be OF1 stock - but at least it's not a brick!
I know this is an older post...
I'm trying to find the same I545 OF1 adb dump to use for jtag.
I know the sdcard debrick does not work with OF1, and I already tried injecting the single bootloader partitions that are in the firmware without success.
I'm hoping the dump will solve my issue because of the PGPT, MD5 , MBR or other partitions that may be corrupted.
I am not interested in the efs /MEID..
Thanks!

Warning this is engboot, meaning its not made to be used on day to day basis you may run into some issues. Hopefully we can fix them as we go!
Also do not update supersu through playstore untill we are for sure that it wont mess anything up
Notice from @Chainfire:
Chainfire said:
I'm just going to leave this here...
SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
You will need:
- Engineering boot images
- Patched version of Odin3 (only AT&T models ?)
- Extract files, and run root.bat with adb on the path
This version of SuperSU is not officially supported. I recommend against updating the APK from the Play Store, or otherwise updating the binaries, unless someone knowledgable has tried before you and confirmed it worked.
If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

First of all thanks to @Chainfire for helping achieve su and @princecomsy for giving me the odin file and engboot
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, same goes for everyone that helped.
First file you will need is here http://d-h.st/gsDA
This is special Odin to bypass SHA-256 made by Princecosmy
Second file you will need is
G935A http://d-h.st/lQY8
G930A http://d-h.st/aK2A
This is the engboot. Using @billas since its already uploaded.
Basically once you have these two files open up the odin included and place the .tar in the ap section should only take a few seconds to flash.
After you are back up download SuperSU made for our phone from here https://download.chainfire.eu/968/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
Extract the files to a folder.
Here it may get a bit tricky for some.
Go to your adb install location. Open a command window where your adb files are located.
Change the directory to your supersu folder location from earlier, and run the root.bat from the cmd.
I am not very good at instructions as this is my first time doing anything like this.
For the bounty id prefer if you just donate to https://secure.savethechildren.org/....C01C/Global_Action_Fund/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp
Makes more of a lasting impact then what i could do with any of it.
Again thank you to everyone who helped!
We made it fam!
If you are successful after rooting and can give better instructions please let me know!
Thanks a lot.....you guys are awesome...

You can use it on a day to day basis. Dont try going back it will remove what you have done. The issues if there are any are minor.
And yes it is for ATT S7 edge.
I have a few questions here.
What exactly is going on with this root process? Is it installing a recovery? Will this trip knox? I assume Samsung Pay won't work anymore? Can we finally used xposed? If so, which version?
How can one revert if we felt the need to?
I feel so sorry for @br3w3r for having to deal with all of the Q&A after all of this hard work. LOL! But seriously, thanks for all of this.

So far I have permissive selinux and dm-verity is disabled. We CAN have root if we can get odin to accept a custom system img. I need some samsung modders to PM me so we can figure something out. Our phones have secure download so I cant get a custom system image installed but once we get that we have root.
Also this seems to add VoLTE support to my sprint model(calling+ i believe sprint calls it)

Good to see you here me2151,
With your dirtysanta, the whole v20 lines were able to achieve root!
Hope you get the support from other devs and achieve the root for the note 8, too!

Good stuff, I'll be watching this thread closely and wish you good luck in your efforts!
I figure avoiding any updates would be a good idea until root is found, correct? In case they update bootloader and that patches whatever bugs would be used to get root.
Thank you for trying to get root on the snapdragon Note 8!

At the moment its possible to use Odin on stock files to revert the firmware so updates (should) be fine.
I'd offer to be a tester for you. Very familiar with ODIN, ADB/Fastboot etc. It does not seem you need testers so I won't PM you.
Good luck and I'm sure with all the great minds here, you'll get it. Good initial progress.

It should work. We just need to find someone with access to the files. Currently have my Snapdragon Galaxy s8 rooted with sampwn and while 80% limit does suck. The advantages of having root and xposed are well worth it imo.

Sampwn is the easy way of doing things. it required access to a VERY special eng firmware. The access I have currently is part of what they have. Theirs had the su binary preinstalled into system that allowed them to do sampwn. Mine doesnt. But... At this time i literally only need to remount system to read write and we win.
I honestly have not been working on it because I am in FL and we were just hit with a hurricane. I now have my power back though so I am going to start back up on gaining access to system. Once again anyone who can work on exploits please PM me.

First off hope you and your fam are okay. I'm in Houston and just went through the same 2 weeks ago but Florida looks alot worse.... I'm glad we have someone like you looking into this. I followed the gs8 thread daily and I remember reading that they also had trouble getting system to mount but eventually they got it. Maybe we can have one of those devs swing by here and lead you in the right direction. With the announcement of the new iPhone our Note 8 look better then ever lol and root would be a cherry on top. Please keep up the good fight!

Oh I see. Awesome! Glad they are helping out. So your trying to get system to mount to install SU binary that came preinstalled with their firmware? Is a firmware like theirs available for our Notes to just get SU and then maybe revert back to a more stable firmware with flash fire?
