you canțt there is no 4.4 rom for 361f only for 360 variants. you are stuck to 5.1.1
Most newer Galaxy phones have an eFuse on the board that prevents downgrading the whole firmware. You might be able to use a custom KK rom, if one is available, but will not be able to downgrade with Odin and the official firmware/software package.
Cant Diwngrade
"There Is No Actuall Way Yet The Mother Board has a vChip that protects Maleware and untrusted files from overwriting the system . Finding one is no luck i took my into samsung store they swapped it for a 4.4.4 Samsung Galaxy Core Prime G361F i would just ask them" ¤☆》《
Also Its a Efuse
Thank you for taking time to read this
why would/do you want to downgrade?
So no way downgrading sm-g361f from 5.1.1 to 4.4.? We have chance install 6.0 to sm-g361f?

it's because of that, that after i flashed a custom kernel a red "!" mark will be always at the top left of screen when phone is turning on? dose that means i did blow up the eFuse?
Would you know what lollipop firmeworks works on model SM-G360G, like 4G everything works ok here, vodaphone model. Sick of waiting for lollipop, or should i just wait....I noticed some people had used a Euro Firmware.
There Is Actually One Way But This Causes To Using A Different Model That Is Not The Same As You Android Device Or Changing Your Model To A Different One As The Same Phone As You Have But Having To Have 4.4.4 KitKat??

NOT AT&T OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
The ROM in question is a 5.0.1 Android build and according to the original source should be good for GT-I9500/9502/9508/9508v versions. The nice folks over at XDA have been playing around with the new software for a few hours now and it appears to be a legitimate official Samsung firmware as opposed to the recent Aurora ports of the leaked Note 3 software.
A few things need to be noted about the Galaxy S4 ROM, though. First of all it has a Chinese region, so even though English is available as a system language, along with two variants of Chinese, some system messages will remain regionalized and so will some functions, like the weather widget.
A stock English keyboard is also missing, but that is easily fixable. Other than that the build seems to be doing well in terms of functionality. NFC, sbeam, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G DATA, Wi-Fi, all sensors for motion and light, hotspot function, Multiwindow all seem to be in working order, as reported by various early adopters.
If you are feeling adventurous and decide to check out the leaked Lollipop software remember to back everything up, as update will almost definitely wipe your internal storage. And if you are a little bit skeptical and wish to wait for the official OTA to start seeding, it shouldn't be long now, as the ROM seems to be just about ready for public consumption.
~~~ FROM THE MODERATOR ~~~ This is not as easy as some may Think...... Caution and an advanced understanding of your phone is recommended before flashing anything "Cutting Edge" releases as this is ....... Caveat ..... Remember you, and only YOU, are responsible for what you do to your phone...no one else.......... ~~~ oka1

This isn't as easy as it sounds... for several reasons.
I'm not going to really go into the details but basically if your not a firmware with LOKI support you won't getting to run a 5.0 ROM on the S4 for the time being. Updates to Safestrap, among other things need to be made, and with the changes in Lollipop it remains to be seen if it will work. Not to mention the build is Chinese, would be better of waiting for the official update for the U.S, Canada, or the U.K
We'll see what happens though ~

It appears to be a ROM that you flash through ODIN. Would Safestrap and LOKI even matter at that point?

Even so, flashing it to your device will likely cause issues when trying to go back. If someone is brave enough to take the plunge go ahead and pull up terminal and check the aboot increment. Mind you, this isn't for our model and may brick your device.
We hopefully wait for lollipop for our beloved S4 it's matter of days already so we have to be patient

Its also for the Octacore variant I believe, NOT the i9505 which is similar to our i337 (minis it has unlocked bootloaders). So ATT Variants I HIGHLY suggest not trying to flash this

I337 is non compatible with this rom.. After install you reboot to recovery.. Appears there is now a i337 edition bootloader providing..
As this is not working for this model before someone damages their phone I am closing this thread
Please don't post firmwares as "Official" if they are not meant for the exact model phone
Thanks

Hello
I was wondering if the Roms available on SamMobile were really safe and clean? Given they're not working FOR Samsung, where do they get those?
I'm wondering because I noticed there was a link that came with my phone originally that wasn't there when I restored a ROM I took from SamMobile.
Thank you!

I flashed many devices with odin and firmware downloaded from SamMobile.com and i never had any problems with it. The provided firmwares are not modified and seem to be 100% official versions.
No need to worry about sammobile as it is safe and clean.
It is all in one resource for Samsung stock roms. I used so many roms for different models from there and never faced any issues.
Can you please describe which link you got additional ??

Nothing important really but there was a link to my carrier's mobile site and SamMobile listed the ROM with the name of my carrier. So I thought it had been modified. But maybe it's just because it's the same version as the one my carrier offers but doesn't come FROM my carrier?

No it's not official, I read somewhere they were named Samsung Firmware before they had to change to Sam Firmware at Samsung's request (before they were named SamMobile). I can't find where I read this though.

You're probably right, but one thing you can be sure that sammobile is a safe site....
Alright thanks everyone!
Not official, but safe. They make their money by subscription services for "premium" download privileges. Maybe ads too, but I use adblock, so I wouldn't see them.
Yes me too. But I do wonder where they get all those ROM since Samsung doesn't give the out.

Sammobile updates Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 LTE
Hello,
Next newbie here
Could somebody senior please help me? I am wondering about official updates from Samsung for ROMs downloaded from sammobile, are they possible?
I've just installed Kitkat 4.4.2 on my beloved Note 3 after few days of using Darkera's Note 7 ROM when I'm tapping on "Update" in "Software Update" menu I get "Processing failed" message. Overall phone's responsiveness isn't that great, that's why I wanted to see if update is available.
Will appreciate any answers

You can't do stock updates on rooted devices with custom ROMs and custom recovery.
You have to remove root, you also need to have an UNMODIFIED system partition and you need stock recovery.
If you're using a custom ROM(your note 7 ROM is a ported stock custom ROM) then that means you are rooted and probably have custom recovery which means you need to remove root and undo any system modifications that were done in the custom ROM(including any special themes and Xposed) then flash stock recovery instead of custom recovery.
Then you might be able to do the updates but the system will be looking for your device to have straight stock with no modification, if there is any modification left behind then the update won't work.

Hi!
Thank you for your message.
Here is the list of things I did to my poor note 3 :
- rooted
- installed Darkera's note 7 rom, custom recovery and kernel downloaded also from Darkera
- unrooted with supersu
- using Odin3 I installed kitkat 4.4.2 which I downloaded from sammobile (I was told this process gonna whipe away everything - custom rom, custom recovery and kernel)
- downloaded supersu to make sure root is gone
Because of sammobile's server maintenance happening this weekend I used kitkat file I downloaded from sammobile quite some time ago (N9005XXUEND3_N9005XEOEND2_XEO for Poland) and during flashing everything went ok. But now when I go to 'settings' and 'about device' imei, modem version, baseband version are unknown and when I try to hit 'update' I get "processing failed' message. Oh, and I'm also experiencing random reboots. I'm not sure if all this is a normal thing or perhaps I did something wrong.
I hope I didn't bore you to sleep
How can I update my firmware ?
I tried doing it on the phone but there is a error .
I'm willing to try to root it if I have to but I'm looking for the easiest way .
I downloaded Kies, and it says my phone is on the latest firmware 4.2.2.
Help, I want to go pokemon !

Only goes up to 4.2.2, existence is pain
Is there anyway to go up to at least 4.3 or 4.4 ?
This is the international S4 forum, so information and support for your S4 will be limited here. Read through the threads in the AT&T S4 forums, which you can access from the thread I linked to. There should be a thread there with the Android version you seek.

If you ever plan on using custom ROMs on it, then don't update.
Updating may make it impossible for you to root or flash anything other than Samsung firmwares on it.
You can try custom ROMs. Pokémon Go works fine on them too.
There seems to be no compatible Odin-flashable firmwares or custom roms beyond 5.02 Lollipop for this SM-S906L Tracphone variant or at least talked about.
Someone mentioned the stock SM-G920R6 TAR,MD5 MARSHMALLOW can be flashed with some tweaking but no confirmation at all.
Does anyone know what exactly can be flashed on this thing beyond 5.02 with confirmation?
did u every find it

US GS7-s have locked bootloaders, which means we're unable to downgrade until bootloader keys are leaked or T-Mobile unlocks it for us, which probably will never happen.

I just downloaded the 6.0.1 image for g930T and flash it with ODIN and that's it, I'm on 6.0.1 again :d
Ya I have downgraded from 7.0 to 6.0.1 several times already with no problems. My issue is that Nougat rooted is very laggy so I been trying all sort of fixes like govtuner etc but it is still laggy
anyway, here is attached screenshot of how I downgrade quickly and easily on sm-g930t
