Thanks for the link. I've looked there first before asking as I didn't see the firmware for T-Mobile USA. The link you sent is "K" for the Korean model. Would you happen to know where I can find what I'm looking for? :good:

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.

Where did you download the French ROM from, I'm guessing it supports English right? I have found SOOO many fake sites boasting to have the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 ROMS, I swear!

I got it from Sammobile. 5.0.2 FR
any site talking about custom ROMs for A7 are all fake.
Sammobile is definitely the legit respository of all the firmwares of the Samsung lines.

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.

Downgrade 5.1.1 to 5.0.2

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,

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

Ok can you update the post once it has been found?
So, anyone flash this yet? I'm tempted but won't be back home to a PC (in case something goes wrong) until tonight. Just looking for some general impressions.
So, I did this. Pretty impressed with the overall device feel now, SE9 is nice . No hang ups other thank it took a long friggin' time, also remember this will WIPE all the data, so make sure to do a backup prior to. The initial/first phone setup is very iPhone-ish, imo.

Be warned; this update is ONLY for SM-G930A firmware - it has a second-stage updater that blocks all other versions (including SM-G930T, which I myself tried). In other words, it is a carrier-specific update, folks.

If it weren't for this being a daily driver, I'd consider it. However, because it is, that's not an option. So I'll have to wait for either a neutral version or one that will work with the SM-G930T.
I am currently testing it out, I was on the latest U firmware and downloaded the latest ATT firmware, will update on how it goes
