[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 70challenger:
What firmware version are you on? Mine came to my phone and I applied it, didn't have to flash it. I rebranded to C567B183.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] larryblynn000:
Im on B183 but B190 is on my phone asking me to restart but if i do wont i loose root and twrp that i have installed ? Thx
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 70challenger:
You aren't giving me all the digits but I assume you are using C567. I don't believe so and if I need can always re-root and flash again.

anyone had a issue with kodi being super slow when connecting to the internet to search for shows, installing anything, or loading anything. i tried to uninstall kodi and install a new version. Now i can't even get it to connect to install Indigo for TV addons. I have a fire stick and it doesn't seem to have as much of a issue.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 100grandkids:
Try SPMC. It's a fork of Kodi specifically for Android (FireTV) based systems. I've just installed it myself minutes ago, can notice a slight increase in performance have yet to test any buffering playback quality

Edit: also a good choice for a setup instead of those laggy builds is this guide from Reddit "a tutorial I made on customizing Kodi to look and act like a super powered Netflix" I'm a new user so I can't post the link but google it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_byrd:
Just uninstall and reinstall if your having issues with your add-ons your prolly doing the process wrong I'm sure you have figured that out by now.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Offtrack:
Yea I'm having the same issue I installed the add-ons using with supreme build wizard
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
Not slowness, but the movie search tool in exodus has stopped working. Somebody wrote it was an ip problem. I don't know. But right now I cannot search for a movie title.

Kodi is having problems. Maybe they're clamping down on it.

How to downgrade from Nougat 7 to Marshmellow 6.0.1​

If you want to save the thing's you currently have on your device, then do a backup using Samsung Smart-Switch.. Because everything WILL be deleted!

First open settings and go to about phone then tap 6 to 7 times on the Build Number until you see developer mode activated. Then go back to the settings list and look for Developer Options and tap it. Now look for OEM unlock and turn it on. This step is important and NEEDS to be done or you'll have problems later, not kidding!! In the same list as OEM unlock, look for, and make sure USB Debugging is on.. Make sure you have no accounts on the phone before starting this( if you're not going to enable OEM unlock) delete all of them especially Google accounts! If you don't do this you can be locked out for 72 hours! Delete any fingerprints and lock screen pins also!! (Create your backup using Samsung Smart Switch or KIES or whichever you want BEFORE deleting any accounts!! Meaning LEAVE your Google account on the phone until your backup is FINISHED and THEN you can remove it.)

On a Windows desktop download odin(unless you already have it) and download firmware number N920VVRS3BPI1 from my Android File Host here ----> N920VVRS3BPI1 onto your windows desktop. If you use any other firmware besides the one I'm posting, it may or may not work so I suggest you use this one first.

After downloading the firmware shut your phone off (Did you make your backup and save your stuff FIRST? If not DON'T start this) and then put it into download mode by holding the volume down button, the home button and the power button at the same exact time (all 3 together). When the screen turns on immediately let go of the buttons and press the volume up button to continue. At this point odin should be open on your Windows computer, connect the phone and when you see it says added on odin you need to go into options and uncheck auto reboot, you NEED to do this! This is the only thing you SHOULD be ticking in these settings, do not tick on re-partition or anything else. Then go back and tap AP and select the firmware N920VVRS3BPI1 that you downloaded (extract it 1 time on your PC first) and after it verifies (odin might crash and say it's not responding on some systems, just leave it be it will finish and work again) then tap start and let it finish. When odin finally says PASS and you see successful 1/ failed 0 then disconnect the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and when the screen comes back on select factory reset and after its finished the phone will reboot on it's own and you're done and booting back to Marshmallow 6.0.1.

If you don't follow these steps correctly you're liable to get stuck or something else and your phone is not my responsibility if you do something wrong and it doesn't work it's because you made the conscious decision to do it likely you'll have no problem with this if you follow directions!!! I did all the testing on my own Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Verizon model before posting this and did it several times to be sure it worked correctly.​
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
can you help me please with Note 5

can you help me please with Note 5

I have bought a Samsung note 5 from Dubai and it is working on my sim card at Egypt internationally for 5 months without problem.

I discovered that it is a Verizon modified to work internationally!!!.

However I was going to sell it and i did a factory hard reset to delete my personal data then the night mare began.

First of all the phone stuck at the set screen of accepting the terms and never reached the point where i can input my google email and password, whenever I accept the terms it get back to the first screen of language selection.

then i tired some pc applications to bypass the FRP lock but one of them made an uncomplete download which give an error and i can only enter the odin download mode nothing else ??

My question now is will your firmware N920VVRS3BPI1 solve this problem and let me use my local/international sim card line as before or shall it get me back to Verizon original firmware that is locked only to their lines ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
an update :

I have installed the firmware N920VVRS3BPI1 and it was amazing and working very well .... although it started with Verzion logo at beginning where i had a nightmare ha ha ha ... but after start every thing was ok and the sim card was accepted from Vodafone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Just so you know you're using the wrong firmware on that phone because it's a N920F not a N920V that phone has an unlocked bootloader and can be rooted with chainfires root and it can pretty much accept whatever firmware because of the unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
Thanks for reply

But does this mean that I can install firmware from N920C for example ??

And I can upgrade to Android 7 ?

And still my Sim card from Vodafone can be working without being locked ????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Riden44:
nope. This is a verizon phone. Just look at the baseband or bootloader. I have the same phone and it can be flashed by verizon firmware only..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
So we shall be waiting for the Verzion android 7 ....

How do you like this unlocked modified phone ? do you have any complains or comments ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Riden44:
Bootloader is locked. And there is not such model of note 5 like 920f. I don't know how sellers rename n920v to n920f... My phone now on official nougat QB9 and works flawlessly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
What is your model is it n920v, n920f or n920c ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
There is a F model it's the international one.

SM-N920F

And it says Verizon now because he flashed the firmware from my android file host account.

Personally I don't think the phones real because that F version usually means that it's a knock off from Thailand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Riden44:
In Europe galaxy note 5 is N920C. F version is a Verizon version, just аltered by unknown way. N920F version never existed only as a disguised N920V. Just google it and you will see. There is no official firmware for "N920F".

---------- Post added at 19:52 ---------- Previous post was at 19:45 ----------

when i buyed it, it was 920f but in bootloader 920v. Then i flashed this thing by original verizon nougat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I know but as I said the F version is usually a knock off from Thailand. Personally I don't even think it's real because if the bootloader is locked then how did they get it to say F? The only way to do that is to open the phone and change the chip inside because there's no way a real Verizon Note 5 would be able to do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Riden44:
Maybe asian guys have fully working eng.boot for this. I have no idea..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
That would be something awesome if we could get that in our hands!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
So, you think these phones N920F are not good and I should sell it??, should I look for a new genuine one ?

I feel that the phone is working very well ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
If it's working fine keep it, no need to sell it if it's doing what you need it to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
Actually I have noticed weak signal reception compared with other phones that I have ... do you have any recommendations is this regards? how can I overcome this issue ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You should download something called phone info for Samsung so you can make sure the phone is real and not a knock off.. It should have the same exact specs a real one has and if it doesn't it's probably a fake one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] de3bis:
the phone info app is showing a real phone data ...... but when I enter the digits #*0*# it doesn't bring the test screen and the code *#06# doesn't show the IMEI .... is this normal for the Verizon phones ????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
I may give this a go. Since receiving a replacement phone fr my original overheating one and getting Nougat update, this phone has been a pain...a real pain. Making phone calls activates the external speaker. I have to tap the speaker icon 3 times to get the ear piece speaker going then when call is answered it kicks back to the external speaker. Very fun in restaurants. Using Bluetooth radio while driving....forget it. Gmail will not download automatically. I'm about to go back to my Note 2.

Sorry for hijacking this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
It worked perfectly for me and I even got my battery life back! I was averaging between 6 and 8 hours per charge and as soon as I tried Nougat my phone was only giving me 4 hours max and it's because they're putting so much stuff in there that they consider "new features" when in reality, no one's really going to use all that!! I wasn't about to accept no 4 hours but I wanted to give Nougat the benefit of doubt so I left it on there for a week giving it plenty of charge cycles and it made no difference at all but the second I downgraded I got the battery life right back!! The other thing is the rom I put up barely has any junk bloatware in it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
I'm at the verizon store right now. I can get a replacement 5 with my insurance. I don't know if others are having this much trouble with nougat on their 5s or not.

I think I'll get my 2 reactivated and either downgrade this 5 or have a refurbished sent to me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
​

My replacement is being delivered tomorrow. BUT, I think I'll give this a shot and if I get it to work, I'll do the replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
Holy Cow! It worked. OK....My new 5 is coming tomorrow. If I do this to it, will it want to update to Nougat in the future??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Yes but you can disable the update crap rather easily!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
Yes, I saw the post you put up on how to disable the update nonsense. So, as soon as I unbox the new 5 I'll install your zip file. Thank you I am amazed at what you guys come with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
If you want you can use a debloater app that you run on a Windows PC and then put check marks in everything you want disabled and it will disable and also hide the apps you select.. Just be careful what you choose to disable because if you disable something you shouldn't then the may either get stuck on the Verizon logo red screen or certain apps won't work like say if you disabled Bluetooth testing then the actual Bluetooth itself won't work even though there's no check mark in it and that's just because it was was associated with the Bluetooth app.. It's really easy to use just double check/Google whatever you don't know what the specific app is.. Download link below. Thanks to [MENTION=3178012]gatesjunior[/MENTION] for the debloater app!

Debloater App Download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
So far so good. I d/loaded Package Disabler Pro before I saw your reply. Paid $1.49 for it. Got a lot of bloatware disabled and the update items you posted also. Hopefully, this 5 will behave for several years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Yeah I had that app to but my major issue with that app was that it had to have administrator access to my phone if you go into Settings then Lock screen and Security then Other security settings and then tap phone administrators you'll see it in there and that kinda bugs me mainly because the app by [MENTION=3178012]gatesjunior[/MENTION] doesn't even need administrator access so why does that one? I understand that people say it's "needed" but I'm sorry but no that thing doesn't need access to my pictures my texts my phone calls my SD card and my GPS location.. Nope sorry not running that on my phone.. What bugs me about apps that need all sorts of access is what if they are turning my camera on and watching me? Or turning the microphone on to hear your conversations?!! I'm not saying it's a bad app though or anything.. Just NOT for me!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rolfsted:
I can get a refund before 5 days are up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I took my refund as soon as it said it wanted Administrator access!! Giving something administrator access is right up there with Android Device Manager and it's capable of wiping the entire damn phone with 1 click on a PC so I said nahh forget that, why add another app that is going to use up the little space we already have and then wants all sorts of security access when the debloater app can do all this free AND find more apps and it doesn't even need no ton load of permissions? I think it's a great app in theory but with it needing so many damn many security accesses it turned me off to it!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] feylesof:
Hi, my phone code is SM-N920C. Can I use this rom? I tried to downgrade 3 times with odin and every time got error. Even before flashing rom, gave error and phone was frozen in download mode. I used smart switch recovery mode to fix it. It requires serial number of the phone. That made me think that if the roms specialized for the individual serial numbers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] youtashiro:
Has anyone tried this on the newer N920VVRS3CQE1 Nougat Firmware with success? My phone is on that firmware and I cant manage to find that version of the firmware for download in case something goes wrong, I dont want to get my phone unusable, right now it is the only one I have.

This is for the Verizon Note 5 N920V only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] slrw:
This worked for me. I did have to update my version of Odin (3.12.7), but once I did that everything went smoothly. Thanks MrMike2182 for posting this, it was very helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] AaronXist:
I did everything you said to do and the odin FAILED. What do i do now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gktuz:
Is it work with N920VVRS3CRD2 (last n920v rom) ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] technoob:
Odin says Pass, but my phone still says it's downloading. How long should I wait?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gktuz:
Have you succeeded with downgrade?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bam0027:
This is where I'm at as well... Odin says "PASS!", but phone says "Downloading... Do not turn off target", with progress indicator almost complete.

After rebooting, it went through an upgrade process for apps, but has now only rebooted into a red Verizon startup screen, with brief flash/vibrates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Dbassist:
I have a 920v. I followed the instructions but got a fail. Can you help? The reason I'm trying to downgrade is not having access to the APNs in the phone being ghosted. I got this phone second hand so I really haven't had a chance to use it. My carrier is Straight Talk and I'd like to change the APNs in the phone so I thought downgrading from nougat back to marshmallow will help me accomplish that. Unless you know another way...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] top speed01:
Anybody want to test out my kernel image. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Hl90m3sKz3rQVv7CCziHkA3hiV2m7qyn I think I found out what is causing no root/ no boot on the verizon note 5. Just download my zip, unpack set aside. Now split your booted boot.img and copy name of zImage in your split image folder. Rename downloaded Image to the name of your zimage and put in your booted split image folder replacing your exisiting zimage. Repack and install into your device. See if it boots and give root privilege.

I cant test because I dont have sm-n920v no more, but applied verizon code to my sm-N920p kernel and I got the no boot, or stuck on galaxy note screen that happens when you try to do with verizon note 5. I removed code and kernel booted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SaiOmega:
What files do you freeze with Deb loader?

I've been go ogling, lurking and searching for 3 days to find the anewer to this. I downgraded because nougat has been nothing but trouble on this unit. 6.01 has been stable for 3 days and I want to keep it for several reasons. Please helpemail stop the Ota please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
I don't seem to understand what you mean by "Now split your booted boot.img and copy name of zImage in your split image folder. Rename downloaded Image to the name of your zimage and put in your booted split image folder replacing your exisiting zimage." Can you elaborate on this process? Are you using something like Image Kitchen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] top speed01:
Just use the android image kitchen, I think it is. It will split the image into 2 folders. Find the folder with the image and replace with my image. I dont have any of the files anymore because I reset my computer a while ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
OK thanks. Do you know that the only copies I have been able to find of Android Image Kitchen are full of trojans and virus code? Is that why you had to reset your computer ? I can run image kitchen though as I use Shadow Defender to run things like that so it freezes any changes on the computer. Reboot and everything is just like it was before you turned on Shadow defender.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
Ok - tried but Odin give a Fail. Phone says 'Secure check fail (boot)'. Somewhat expected that as boot image was a different size by a small amount than the original after repacking with AIK. And for sure a different checksum. Not sure if there is a way around that....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] top speed01:
I dont have the n920v anymore. I just remember the frustration of trying to achieve root when I did. I just compared the difference between n920p[sprint] and n920v[verizon]. They both are cdma units and its the only difference inside the kernel. That effects the root security, because when I applied the n920v kernel code to the sprint. The sprint would not boot because of root privilege. When I changed the code back in the exact same kernel it booted.

I have been trying to find a cheap n920v motherboard so I could test it out. Everywhere wants $50 and I am not spending that much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Maleko48:
So I just tried this using your file and following all directions and it failed: "SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RADIO)"

EDIT:

However a subsequent try with: "N920VVRU3BPJ3_N920VVZW3BPJ3_N920VVRU3BPJ3_HOME.tar.md5" yielded a PASS.
