Hey Guys.
First...
Thanks for this mass of knowledge, support and time you are spending to all of us.
I tested 6.0.1 on my old Galaxy S1 I9000 and yeah I like it but I'm so in love with the 5.1.1, so I want to downgrade to this version. Is it possible to do this on the "ordinary" way via TWRP or do I have to achieve this goal on another way? I don't want to brick this old lady. She always had been so good to me. :laugh:
Thanks

Hello xda-developers,
I am a noob once again in desperate need on guidence on my new device...
i have had iPhones since the very First ever iPhone so recently when i decided to sell my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to buy 1 device the Samsung Galaxy Note i was making a huge risk as i have never used anything other than ios but i made the risk and couldnt be happyier,
Now onto the more serious part on why i have created this thead...i need assistance on how to go about rooting my device
It's a Brand New Samsung Galaxy Note White Euro model, i wanted uk but couldnt find it in stock anywhere and had to order online, i think it came from germany as when i checked the tracking thats were it was dispatched from,
I have been doing alot of reading on these forums and others around the internet and i think i have it right but because my model might be a germany handset but dontknow for sure from what i can tell it has
baseband version N7000XXLA4
kernal version N7000XXLA6
from what i can sorta understand because its on N7000XXLA6 it cannot be rooted direcly and needs to be downgraded to a lower firmware? also is the kernal version the firmware version?
sorry for the noobish talk i wanna get this right as i dont wanna damaged my new device...do i need to downgrade my firmware to be able to root my device?
my plan is to once offical ics comes out to have offical ics installed then root the device then remove all the bloatware from it and make it original pure clean ics kinda like the nexus no samsung crap on it but have root access for extra features like gamepad support like ps3 controllers and other features.
i have tryed to work out the best thing to do so far i am stuck with thinking my device cant be directly rooted and i dont wanna jump in a fiquire out the hard way as iknow rooting isnt as easy and jailbreaking.
i can't wait to hear feedback and help tips and tricks from the community and also very big thanks in advance for taking te time to read this

Your Rom is too new to be rooted directly, you got that right. Go to this thread and download any Rom older than N7000DXKL3 (I prefer N7000XXKK9, it's easily rooted using zergrush method, but it's your choice, of course). Then you can proceed with flashing your downloaded Rom via PC Odin (detailed instructions with pictures in the said thread).
Then visit this thread for instructions on rooting your Rom (find 'Method 2: Root + CWM recovery' and follow it to the letter).
Once you're rooted, you can either upgrade to the latest stock Rom and keep your root, or flash any of the custom Roms available in the Dev section.
Good luck.
u can also go to youtube n refer ashwin tutorial how to root...it will help u a lot coz u can see n know what u doing...follow exactly teh instruction n u will not face any problem..happy rooting...
i give the link to help u save time..

Hello guys,
I've been using XDA for a long time to figure out problems related to my devices. Recently I bought Samsung Galaxy S III LTE in Pakistan, having baseband I9305XXBMA2.
I searched a lot to find any link to give me a stock 4.3 update for my phone but I couldn't get one.
I shall be really greatful if you could let me know any way to update it, but seriously I don't want to root my phone. But if rooting is the only option to be left, please let me know.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi
Your current firmware allows you to root the phone easily, and you can then use Mobile Odin to upgrade to 4.3 without losing root. Stock 4.3 firmware has Knox bootloader which prevents you from rooting, modding etc. I would advise that you search XDA for 4.3 discussion to learn a bit more about Knox bootloader.
Since you are not interested in rooting, search for your region's 4.3 firmware here:
1) http://www.sammobile.com
2) http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305
You need to understand that you cannot downgrade from 4.3 firmware without tripping Knox flag.
Good luck.
hello everyone
i like to start of with sayin hello to everyone and appreciate all the help i receive.
i have a Samsung galaxy s3 mini for 2yr and im in uk and i been seeing other phones running newer firmwares like lollipop and it feels and looks nice and would like it on mine. My s3 mini is currently running android version 4.1.2 and its been like that since new and doubt it get any updates now,
can i update this to a newer firmware please and a step by step process thanks as ok ish with phones know basic stuff but not a genius.
once again thank you all
yes you can. the phone will need to be rooted, custom recovery installed & a couple of other tools on pc,ie odin. there are many great guides & tutorials in these forums, so have a look around, read a little learn a lot, like we all did. decide on which rom works the best for you and go with that one(that will be the best rom),dont ask!!!!!. follow all instructions carefully & most of all...enjoy the ride... if you have any difficulty then just ask
Hello thank you.
I'm typing this from my s3 mini. It has been rooted with kingroot the rooting is ok now needed to allow permission.
So it's ok for a Uk Samsung galaxy s3 mini be updated to later firmware. I read couple guides on here with the cynam rom.
Has is got to be done by odin?.
I also read that can be done with rom manager app is this true?.
What is the latest and stable firmware for samsung galaxy s3 mini GT- i8190n?
Also erm What's a kernel and has that got to be done?
On the downloads page I choose my model and cyamogen then is it recovery or odin I download?
Thank you to everyone

Hello Guys,
the story is: i've just bought Galaxy S5 Active with some custom ROM installed (TMS5), rooted.
the version is 5.0: the kies is showing info like: G900FXXU1BOC7/G900AATT3BOC4/G870AUCU1BOC5/G900FXXU1BOC7 (ATT)
the problem: i'd really like to have stock firmware on this one? Can You please tell me what are the options for me?
Thanks,
Jazzhoo
Update:
Guys, for anyone that is thinking about unrooting or installing the newest software through OTA.. i'll give You an advice.. don't!
some time has passed since i bought S5A with TMS5 3.0 custom soft, i wanted to unroot and install stock. thankfully i've found no way to do so.
i'm really happy to have root/custom so i can personalize my phone as i want! and i don't need to use crappy unrooted stock!
peace guys!
Friends, colleagues and colleagues.
I hope you can help me in the next problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Flat G920A from AT & T. I updated it via ADB to Nougat 7.0, but the truth is that it gives me little performance in screen usage, it would be as long as 3 hours, so I want to downgrade it, I remember when I updated Nougat I had to find the official AT & T ROM Stock that Was compatible to be able to update ie download the ROM that mentioned my previous BASEBAND followed by TO and then named the new BASEBAND.
It was something like that.
ANCIENT BASEBAND? TO G920AUCU6EQCF.
Now my question is the following as I can know which file I should flasehar on my G920A to return to MARSHMALLOW ask because I do not want to cause a softbrick or hardbrick to my device.
