I've read on some forums you can downgrade from lollipop on a galaxy note 3 and then root it. Is this true?

A few months ago, I bricked my Galaxy S5 due to taking an improper step while upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop in an attempt to keep my root. Unfortunately, I bricked it. However, due to not being able to find a rom for 5.0 sm-G900A I had to use my old Note 3 as my primary device. Sadly, it was...

Will this work on my note 3 running on lollipop 5.0?

I recently (and unfortunately) bricked my 5.0 galaxy s5. However, I decided to just pick up a cheaper note 3 after getting rid of my old bricked s5 (as I could not downgrade it and I found out when it's fixed lollipop stock is unrootable therefore I do not care to have it if I can't root it). It...

I recently softbricked my lollipop 5.0 android. Thanks to the help of the community in previous posts I made I was able to find out that I needed a lollipop 5.0 rom to flash to my phone to have it successfully work again. Only problem? I cannot for the life of me find a lollipop in tar format...

So I just downloaded it and it's in fact not a tar its just like a zip rom. I oepened and there's no tar only some folders and mbn files.

No I meant like the comments are saying inside the zip it is not a tar file. However, say there's not a TAR file what options do I have left? Also I noticed in your previous post you said you think I might have upgraded to an unrootable 5.0. This is not true though I upgraded to 5.0 with a...

According to the comments that isn't a TAR file. So I'm not sure what to do now ;-;

Okay do you know where I can find the stock 5.0 firmware that is not in format of just a zip? Because every copy of android 5.0 I've found has not been in a tar format. Where can I find one in a tar format?

But would repartitioning the pit file have any negative effects?

How do I wipe my cache? Sorry for all the questions I'm a bit new to all this. But what if I can't get it to boot even after I wipe the cache partition. Could I re-partition this pit file. EDIT: Okay I wiped the cache partition. It's still not booting what do I do?

I can't do that right now my phone is bricked. How do I fix this and undo the soft brick? Thanks, Matt

So I upgraded my Galaxy S5 from 4.4.2 kitkat to 5.0 lollipop. I then accidentally softbricked my phone by installing the wrong SDK for xposed. I've been trying to fix this and after finally downloading ODIN and the 4.4.2 G900A stock rom I begin to flash it. However, everytime I try to flash the...

The files in here are not in the format of tar.md5. Do you know how I could use ODIN to flash these? :) I download the rom from here however it's not in a .tar.md5 format it's just composed of various files. How do I flash this in ODIN?

Ah well I like a fool acted pre-emptively and installed the AOSP rom and soft bricked my phone like a fool. However, I can fix that with ODIN. One thing though I can only find a stock normal 4.4.2 rom not an already rooted one. Do you know where I can find an already rooted one for the G900A as...
