That one or this one flashes stock KF1 with no bootloaders.
Hi, I am currently use SOKP (5.1.1) rom on my t mobile note 4. My baseband is still COD6 (I guess bootloader should be in the same version as baseband). My TWRP is still 2.8.0.X.
I want to switch to Touchwiz based custom rom. In the meanwhile, I think I need to update the baseband (bootloader and etc) and TWRP for a smooth experience.
Can anyone advise an approach to do it? I am thinking to flash the latest original N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_TMB.zip rom via odin. Can anyone post a link to the instruction? I want to make sure what I do via odin is correct.
I assume this flash will automatically update bootloader and baseband to the latest version. and I need to re-root and update TWRP per the instruction here before flash the TW based custom rom.
I figured out that I could just load the stock via odin and go from there. So far so good.
As the thread states....has anyone tried to flash stock DOK2 firmware from the new MM update? I have searched and asked many questions but have not gotten a solid answer. And if no one knows or no one has tried yet, would someone who had already taken the update be willing to try flashing stock DOK2 firmware? For developmental purposes. Thanks in advance. ?
Anyone got root for Marshmallow?

Root works perfectly fine. Use SuperSu Systemless root. I believe the version number is 2.74-2. It's the latest beta if I'm not mistaken.
First use ODIN to get TWRP onto the device and then flash the supersu zip like usual.
I was thinking of just using flashfire to flash BL and modem only then install the rom..that way it doesnt overwrite recovery... bad idea ?

Yes, bad idea. No shortcuts on base updates.

I was able to downgrade to DOK2 but I only flashed the bootloader & modem file not the entire firmware
If you flashed BL then we are good. I wonder if the MM bootloader is like n910G.....they couldn't go from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 but when they got 6.0.1 they were able to got back 2 steps to 4.4.4.like a magical BL unlock ha

What files did you use? I tried flashing the entire dok2 firmware through Odin and kept getting stuck in a bootloop. If I could just flash those 2 files that would be great.

I have downgraded from a full PE3 to OK2. Worked fine.
Awesome...that makes me feel safer...I might try to odin nk4 later just for ships and giggles haha
does anyone know if you can downgrade from MM PE3 to KK ANK4? I know that you can't go from DOK2 to ANK4. Love firekat too much

I had a T-mobile Note 4 (N910T) on 5.0.1 , downgraded to KitKat 4.4.4, when Lolipop 5.1.1 came out I upgraded. rooted, and then flashed custom rom Tekxodus .. phone used to restart randomly .. later discovered that once you upgrade OK2 you get locked and no longer can downgrade to KK.
later on, the phone started to give mmc error and then just died.
Lesson Learned, stay on 5.0.1 or downgrade to 4.4.4 and stay there.
I still wonder if Android 6.0.1 Locks down the downgrade process to 4.4.4. I doubt it will allow it.

Ok. You just downgrade, but I have a question.
After you flashed BL and CS, you still have to flash the firmware, right? So, I have to have the firmware OK2 too, right?

Yea if you want everything to be OK2 but its not necessary....if you are gonna use twrp, u dont need to odin recovery....and if you are gonna use a custom rom instead of stock then you dont need to odin system...so basically anyone with twrp and a custom OS is only using BL and Modem
But i always just flash it all just to be thorough....

Hi guys. It's been a while since I rooted this phone because my work wouldnt allow it. Anyway I finally got it rooted (v 6.0.1) and TWRP going. I was thiking about flashing the CMRemix rom and they mention "You MUST be on the Latest Bootloader and Modem for your Carrier - D0K2 for Tmo SM-N910T". Where do I even find out if im using that? My current baseband is N910TUVSEPG2 if that helps.

Choose BL tab in odin to flash bootloader
Choise CP tab in odin to flash modem
Must Flash both files otherwise simcard and wifi will not work in cm13.
On cm13 first boot if sim does not work just restart device and it will work fine

You cant flash a firmware with a lower bootloader number. The fifth digit from the right is the bl version. You are trying to flash a firmware with bl version 3 over you're current version 4 so just flash a firmware with version 4 and you should be good.

thanks mate. problem is every firmware im downloading right now always corrupt. and very slow. but thanks anyway for the help and knowledge.
thanks mate i changed pc and got a successful download.
No problem glad you got it worked out.
Never ever try to downgrade your bootloader to go to an older rom by the way. I tried it and had to replace my phones motherboard.just fyi
