Downgradeable? - T-Mobile Note 4 (SM-N910T) - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am about to buy a New T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T), and just need to make sure that it would be possible to downgrade the Note 4 from whatever Android version is installed on it to Android 4.4.4 (KitKat).
I checked SamMobile and currently the known Android versions on the Note 4 (SM-N910T) are listed below along with their respective baseband numbers.
My question is this: can all of the basebands (Android versions) listed below for the SM-N910T be downgraded to Android 4.4.4 (Baseband: N910TUVU1ANK4 or N910TUVU1ANJ7 or N910TUVU1ANIH)?
SM-N910T - Baseband number/Android version List:
Date (Baseband) Android Version
2015-11-30 (N910TUVU2DOK2) 5.1.1
2015-11-30 (N910TUVU1COG2) 5.0.1
2015-08-10 (N910TUVU1COD6) 5.0.1
2014-11-24 (N910TUVU1ANK4) 4.4.4
2014-10-17 (N910TUVU1ANJ7) 4.4.4
2014-10-11 (N910TUVU1ANIH) 4.4.4
I definitely need to know this before I buy since I'll be making the purchase online, and won't be able to know which Android version/Baseband version is being shipped in the new package.
Would anyone please help with this question?

No sir. Once on dok2 5.1.1 your locked in. I made that mistake. As long as it's before the latest 5.1.1 your good

Note 3 Upgrade

Hello everyone need some advice/help.
I have an ATT note 3 running 4.3 and I'm ready to upgrade to something newer due to issues. I'm looking to do 5.1.1 or 6.0 but someone told me 6.0 doesn't support call audio. I tried to download and flash from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3238064 under older versions
but the files do not show up in my odin. I downloaded version cm13.0 20160128. I also downloaded banks dynamic g apps but still see nothing under the download files in odin. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The att note 3 has a locked bootloader. Sadly you cannot upgrade them the way you're wanting to. You can read a few threads here to upgrade to lollipop and even a few stock based ROMs.

A couple quick Note 4 upgrade questions

Okay guys, haven't update my Note in forever, currently on 5.0 of Rapture.
Baseband / BL: COG6
Android: 5.0.1
My question is, what is newer, EPG2 or EPE3? I thought the 3rd character indicated version (G > E, EPG2 newer), but Maximum Overdrive says 1.5 is based on EPG2 and 2.0 is based on EPE3.... which makes me think EPE3 is the newest?
In any case I ask because MO needs at least baseband and bootloader versions EPE3 and I want to make sure I have at least that before I flash a MM ROM. The only bootloader I could find was EPG2 so if EPE3 is newer could someone share a link to it and the baseband?

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910T2

Hello,
I bought unlocked galaxy note 4 from best buy. model number is N910T2. this phone came with kitkat 4.4.4, i would like to update it to lollipop.
when i tried to do software update through the phone itself was telling me its up to date. kies3 also didn't give any updates.
does any one know how get this phone updated?
Thank you,
Damn shun
I believe that's a rent a center phone that was never updated and is stuck on 4.4.4. For those with the 910t, we can flash that from 6.0.1 and it works just fine but t3 units can't. I don't know about going to up'er firmwares but you could try Odin and flash 5.1.1 DOK for the tmobile 910t, let me know how that goes. If that doesn't work flash twrp recovery on 4.4.4 build from here

Then go here and flash this rom and be good to go.

Cuz I have flashed 910t2 firmware on my 910t so I'm sure the reverse applies so do it in odin!
yeah i own a 910t2 from rent a center you can flash all the same firmware i have odin flashed every firmware since kit kat and tons of custom stuff just treat it as a normal tmo note 4. the only one thats different is the t3
Treat this phone as if it were an N910T. I bought it a few weeks ago from Best Buy, and so far I have successfully flashed DOK2 and EPE3 firmware (modems/bootloaders, as well as full firmware) with no issues using Odin 3.11.1. EPG2 flash failed the only time I tried it (not sure if incompatible or just a one-off).
ROMs I've ran so far are: FireKat (Nadia kernel required), CMRemix, Beanstalk, TEKXodus HYBRID N4 URv7.4R2, N5 Express 3.4D, and Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM V3.2.
Kernels I've ran are: Nadia Nightly r7 [OG1], BeastMode 1.9.2 Rage [DOK2], BeastMode r56.8 Rage [PE3], Emotion nightly r23 RC1 [DOK2], Emotion Stable r26 RC1 [PE3], and BeastMode Stock SimplyRoot [DOK2]. All kernels I've tried have worked just fine except for the Emotion kernels - my phone would not deep sleep with either one, and I tried the 5.1.1 kernel on multiple ROMs with same result (which made me sad because I really want the DT2W feature..).
Currently on the TEKXodus ROM with the BeastMode Stock SimplyRoot kernel and it's running like a champ.

What Android Version is best for the S6 Active?

Curious what people think is the best Android version for the S6 Active. I have 5.1.1 and wondering if I should downgrade, upgrade or leave it...
@raframos, the best OS for your S6 Active, is the Android Nougat 7.0. The reason is because it comes with the latest security updates, and also apps are more compatible with it. Android 5.1.1 is outdated. I advice you should NOT (in capital letters) downgrade the OS because it can mess up with your IMEI and Serial No (It happened to me and I will repair it this week). So, I suggest that you should first upgrade to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and try it out for some weeks. If you are satisfied with it,you can upgrade but if not, stay there.

you will not be able to use my orange as your current android version is not verfiied

the app can not open and say ( you will not be able to use my orange as your current android version is not verfiied by google ) any one help me
Your phone is running Kit Kat 4.4.4, Lollipop 5.1.1 or Marshmallow 6.0.1.
The problem is the android versions running on the note 4 are old, I use a note 4, a N910C, it runs 6.0.1, the phone is almost 6 years old, our phones are ancient, when it comes to technology.
As time goes on, and new android versions are released, they depreciate older versions.
Orange don't want their app running on whatever version you have on your phone, and have decided to compile it without the SDK for your version of Android.
Download a earlier version of the My Orange app and then it should work
