Do not do this. Lollipop schi545 has a locked bootloader, if you downgrade you will not be able to properly boot.

NO IT'S NOT! the official bootloader doesn't violate the device integrity. It WON'T get hard bricked since he can ALWAYS REVERT TO THE :Mentioned: Lollipop Official

yea its called we know more then you so take your attitude and shove it
once you upgrade to lolipop there is no flashing back PERIOD
updating blows the qfuses which means you can not downgrade the bootloader or kernel it doesn't matter if its with odin or kies or if its a official or non official package once you update its over
and had you taken 15m to search the forum before shooting your mouth off you would have known that
You had me at "We know more". Nice try BTW.
He is already on Lollipop okay?
So once he tries to 'officially' downgrade it to KK and fails then what option does Bob have?
Bob can always flash official lollipop. Get your facts straight!

No your wrong. There's a problem with flashing backwards because it blows a q fuse. It'll brick his phone. Seriously lollipop is not downgradable.

Maybe you guys are right. But what I have been doing to all of my phones : HTC DNA, HTC ONE M8, HTC One MAX, Droid Razr XT912, Droid Ultra etc is 'maybe' downgrading on it unknowingly on an unlocked bootloader. Is that so?
There is a hardware check along with a binary fuse on bootloader versions. Downgrading bootloader with odin is a very bad idea. If it were doable we would all be on mdk and there would be way more custom roms. @braindeductions even though the bootloader is locked you can still safestrap roms. What are you on oc1?

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 ?

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.

I am currently debating which method i should follow. i read that recently samsung tighten the security and im not sure if im on that patch yet. can anyone tell me which method i should follow when rooting
also should i wait for samsung to release 7.0 nougat first before i root?
Model: SM-G610Y
Security software version: ASKS v1.2_161011
security patch level: March 1, 2017
Firmware: 6.0.1
also can we reset knox on this device?
anyone?
Im looking for this too, but i guess we will have no root for J7.

I understand completely. In most cases knox can be disabled or at least reset, but the level of development on lower end devices is often limited. What carrier your through also tends to make a difference.

try installin kingo root
install kingo root app. and open the app touch the one click root. sometimes it first and second attempt will be failed. (need network connection)
Just FYI, it appears with the new Blv3 firmwares, the device will only accept official firmware. Meaning, no more flashing U1 firmware on the carrier models, or vice versa. No more flashing U or U1 firmware to the Canadian W models. Flashing between carrier firmwares is fine as long as it's on a carrier branded device (running TMB on a VZW device, etc). But running 950U firmware on a 950U1 will result in a brick, that is this far unrecoverable.
If your currently are running U1 firmware on a U device, vice versa, or running W firmware on a U or U1 device, or vice versa, you need to flash back to the firmware version that shipped with your device BEFORE you accept any OTAs that take you up to Blv3. Currently the S series is still on BlV2, but may go to Blv3 like the Note series just did.*
This has been tested and confirmed.
Credit goes to @me2151, @FatalONEM8*for discovering this and warning people. I didn't find the issue or test, it just passing on the info to hopefully save some bricks.
Update from @mweinbach:
EDIT: After being tested by XDA Senior member me2151, it turns out cross region flashing does work. Prince Comsy Odin is working, but we can not test if the factory binary flashing will hard brick your phone. So flashing US unlocked onto a US carrier device should work.
This myth has been completely busted. We are not sure what bricked the tester's phone. He was not trying to downgrade from Blv3 to Blv2, nor did it have anything to do with FRP lock or user accounts as some people (who weren't involved in the testing) suggested.
But as we have verified, and has also been verified by users here at XDA, Prince Comsy ODIN still works on Blv3. Carrier switching still works on Blv3. @BlueFox721 has posted the Factory Binary files for Blv3 as well as a guide for carrier switching.
So carry on! Canadians, feel free to use U software! U users, feel free to use U1 software!
I am happy to admit I was wrong, and I apologize for any frantic flashing and factory resets I caused. I genuinely was trying to prevent hard bricks, and decided to err on the side of caution, even if that meant I overreacted.
Thank you for understanding!

Seriously, post back here when you test it.
There is currently a group working on a fix for bricked devices, but for now consider it a hard brick. Don't chance it.
Im confused by what is posted by OP. I bought an unlocked device directly from Samsung and if I recall, it was a U1. I immediately flashed the Verizon firmware version (1AQ15) and have been getting OTAs. This morning I updated via OTA to 3BRA5 with no problem. Given no issues, should I worry if I ever need to ODIN a Verizon firmware with v3 BL in the future?

You may have lucked out. I'll bring it to the attention of the Telegram group.
Can somebody smarter then me explain what this means for me?
I'm currently a 950W device running BLV3 CRAD from the 950U
From what I understand, don't accept OTAs, so I've turned off auto update,
but from what I can see, I'm not able to register my phone to receive OTA's
because I'm on unreleased firmware.
ignore it, aslong as you flash a BL3 firmware through odin, I was on oreo too and used the nougat 7.1.1 with BL3 which was just released, you can flash with odin with no issues whatsoever, Only use firmware from N950U and youl be fine

So far there have been no issues with the oreo leaks on blv3. But what we've seen is once the official releases come out, if you accept an OTA or ODIN to the new official firmware. It will brick if you're trying to use a different region CSC. I.e. running 950U firmware on a 950W or vice versa.

Ohh okay, that makes sense, so for example, if I stay on this build, once an official odin of the 950W comes out with BLV3 I can safely odin to that?

Yes that is my understanding. We are still researching.
This is a very bastardly, and Apple like thing for Samsung to do! Not pleased that I'm going to have to either stay on my current build of Nougat forever or flash back to Sprint, as Sprint disables things like Samsung's built in caller ID and replaces it with their own pay app. Not to mention a tonne of other unwanted bloat.
How does the boot loader know the firmware has been cross flashed anyway? I thought all that mattered was that the image was signed by Samsung.

I don't asked because the modded Odin, I asked because that new boatloader update. The boatloader for Exynos are different to Snapdragon. But I think you guys are right. I could bet that new secured boatloader entries are also into Exynos boatloader.
