Upgraded from Kitkat to Lollipop. Just. Need some help rooting.

So not being very experienced at Rooting/Flashing Roms this may come across strange.

Here is a little background to my problem.

I had a rooted Note 3 running KitKat before I decided to flash to Lolipop. I downloaded the Vodafone (UK) variant of the ROM from Sammobile not thinking anything of it at the time (As I am on Vodafone) I went through the usual procedure of going into download mode running Odin as admin and then connecting my phone, adding the Rom files to Odin and then Flashing. Flashing started fine as it got towards the end it Failed on Hidden(Something).
I panicked didn't know what to do so I unplugged my device and tried to reboot. It didn't. It said something along of the lines as there is a firmware error and got stuck on that screen. Panicked some more, decided I would try to google a fix. Came across one which required me to flash CWM Recovery onto my phone. I thought I would try it, Once it flashed which went fine I was told too try and boot straight into recovery mode once the phone starts and reboot through there. I took out my battery put it back in and then went ahead and tried to boot into recovery which worked. Once on CWM I went to reboot the phone As I hit yes too reboot It took me to another screen where it said I wasn't rooted and if I would like to reroot. I decided to click NO and restart the phone. It got stuck on a boot loop, I did a factory reset and cache wipe and it booted into life. (And working fine so far)

So here is where the problem is.

I am looking to get root back to the device. I think I have a locked boot loader as I installed the Vodafone variant of the 5.0 Rom. Would I be able to Flash the BTU Rom onto my device without bricking it, and after that would I be able to root Via CFAutoRoot which seems to be the easiest way to so. Or could I flash with CFAutoRoot Straight onto this ROM.

Info:
BTU ROM:
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC
2015-07-01 United Kingdom 5.0 N9005XXUGBOF1 N9005BTUGBOD2

ROM I INSTALLED:
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC
2015-06-01 United Kingdom (Vodafone) 5.0 N9005XXUGBOD6 N9005VFGGBOD2

Thanks for any help in advance.

Downgrade to KitKat

Hey there.
I have searched the web endlessly and didn't find a straight answer...

Can I downgrade from stock rooted 5.0.2. To KK WITHOUT A PC?
I want to know if it possible to flash KK rom over LP without any bricking problems.. The reason is I don't have a pc next to me soon, and in my laptop I don't have windows.

Thank you in advance

G900V stuck on verizon loading screen after flashing kitkat

I was following a guide on androidcentral to flash kitkat on to my phone so I could root it. Odin shows that I successfully flashed my phone, but when my phone reboots it stays on the verizon screen. It shows up as a blank disk drive when plugged in to my laptop.

I hadn't realized that my SD card was still in my phone while I tried to flash. The SD still has all its memory.

I have already tried removing the battery and putting it back in and I have tried a factory reset, but nothing happens when I hold the buttons down.

I have tried searching these forums, but have not been able to find anything that works.

Thanks for any help.

Help Rooting and Installing KitKat on a Fire HD 7

I followed a guide to install Lolipop on my device, I managed to get the 15 Second ADB Installer but could only get the 1.3 version to work.
When I try to do it now it states on the device that I need 1.3.2 or higher. The 1.4 download gives me an Access Denied message and installed 0 drivers.

The device is currently on Fire OS 5, I hear Kit Kat maybe the best option.

Apologies if this makes no sense, many of the tutorials I seem to find are for rooted devices.

Thanks,

Problem upgrading from Kitkat to Lollipop...

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade my SM-900 (ha3g) from Kitkat to Lollipop.

I've flashed the latest TWRP and the 5.0 bootloader via ODIN.

I then use TWRP to flash the ROM (I've tried CM and a couple others) - I wipe the necessary file systems prior to wiping and then select the zip to flash it. It flashes fine. I reboot the system and after the Samsung SM-900 screen comes up, it just remains black. Nothing appears. I've waited quite a while in the event it was just initializing, but that's not the case. I've also tried to wipe the caches and factory reset AFTER flashing, but that does not fix the issue.

The phone will just not boot.

Anyone ever experience something like this?

Thanks!

Is Lollipop any better than KitKat on our phone?

I'm happy enough with Kitkat/CM11 functionality, however seems support is dieing, unofficial builds only, last stable release wasn't even built for our device, etc etc.

So I'm wondering if I should make the move to Lollipop/CM12.1. I read the main thread, seems to be lots of little connectivity issues and earlier discussions about bad responsivity, etc, but not much activity lately.

Basically I'm wondering if the main bugs are worked out, and if so, how does it run compared to KitKat on our phone; is there any reason to update, or will it just make my phone slower with no real advantage?

Kitkat roms for MPE?

Does anyone think that there will be a KK rom available for this phone? I am interested to see what the true battery life will be without the LP battery draining bugs. The 4 hours or less SOT that people have been reporting is not acceptable to me, but if there were a KK rom that got 6 hours SOT. I would buy the phone and not have to wait until Google fixes LP or releases MM.

Problems With Downgrading my New S5 To Kitkat

Hello All, just need a bit of help here. I'm in a bit of a bind, I really dislike Lollipop and I wanted to downgrade my new S5 To Kitkat. However I've hit some road blocks, I've tried all the firmware downloads for it, the Odin, Kias 3, Samsung drivers, All the good stuff. However when I set everything up I get the error message on my phone of SW rev check fail fused 2 > binary 1 Now I've come to these forums to get this answered but I have a few Ideas, weather it's the fact that the device already came pre-loaded with Lollipop and never had kitkat to begin with is the first and biggest concern. I'm looking for any and all types of solutions, um-installations, removals, roms, roots, anything to get back the be fantastic os that Kitkat was.

Thanks in Advance for any advice.
Questions are always welcome.

Replacement Device Back to KitKat

I recently received a replacement device for my Verizon LG G2. My previous phone was kept on KitKat and I would like to get the replacement phone back to KK. The phone is currently rooted and I have TWRP installed. I am running Extreme v1.1 VS98039A.

Is there a way to take this phone back to KitKat 4.4? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Have a blessed day!

Is there any custom recovery in original Kitkat?

Or do I need to install TWRP onto it?
Is the installation of TWRP pretty stnadard, or it's more complicated than that?
