[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alwright1980:
So this is my problem?

not exactly what you were referring to but for the last week or so I have been experiencing a few probs. I Odin flashed the OG5 tar and when tried to use it stock for a day or so I ended up getting very frustrated with the fact that it would continually give me the error that Network Service provider Had stopped, although all functions of the phone (seemingly) worked. I would just have to continually dismiss the notifications. I had only done the update after looking into other roms and so I proceeded to flash to hybrid x 3.0 but for one reason or another it became buggy with xposed and so I wanted to flash back to stock BOB7 to deploy the hybrid x 2.x series of deodexed, also wanted this for the, misinformed impression, that the plasma kernel had not been updated to a compatibility to the 5.1.x lolli tw level, but it has. And so I am going to move forward with that, but my question is if Odin flashed to og5, or as u said oe1 or newer, will the flash to ob7 or earlier simply never take. I have manually formatted and wiped all partitions 10+ times and advanced wiped data part. in TWRP 10+ times and then performed file system/part. repair on system and data to a success result all before trying to flash 5 different downloads from 4 different repositories of bob7 all with failing result, I also attempted to flash the ob7 firmware from Tx_dbs_tx's dev profile's repo on androidfilehost.com all with failed results. SO if it is impossible to return to stock in odin, will recovery deployment of a backup also fail? And I am under the impression that any ob7 based rom will be incompatible for me now because even though at mr tx_dbs_tx's instructions page I read that you had to update to ob7 or later firmware to deploy hybrid x 2.x but after flashing a stock og5 tar that actually functioned without the aforementioned Network Serv... errors I attempted to deploy hybrid x 2.3 deo via twrp only after doing a wipe with a similar number of passes of that listed above plus part. repair...etc., and was frustrated when I soft bricked (may be misusing this term) my phone and lost both recovery and any (operating) os but was still able to access downloader.

Summing up can you go back to bob7 or anything earlier than og5 if you've gone to og5, and if so how. If not will recoveries on ob7 also fail, is ADB an option? Are all ob7 or rather all roms based on anything earlier than og5 now off the table for me without rewriting the entire system? Of course this is a process which I am ill equipped to perform.

Thanks for any help.

I don't know if you guys will be reading this in the thread or not and thus I am for the most part re posting my last post from directly above (if in thread) after incorporating that to which you have enlightened me

Summing up I get now you cannot go back with odin to OB7 or anything earlier than og5 if you've gone to og5, or if I misunderstood you and you can then how? If not, will recoveries on ob7 also fail, is ADB an option? Are all ob7 or rather all roms based on anything earlier than og5 now off the table for me without rewriting the entire system?
