You should downgrade your operating systems to LMY47X.N915TUVU2COK2 firmware build number running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop if you are not running that one at the moment. You can find that same LMY47X.N915TUVU2COK2 firmware available from the firmware section at the Sam Mobile website. Download and flash it using the same Odin tool in this guide.

  1. Download your updated CF-Root tool for the SM-N915T device from this page.
  2. Download the Odin 3.10 flash tool from this page.
  3. Download the universal ADB Driver on your Windows computer so the Note Edge, Odin flash tool and computer can all communicate properly.
  4. Unlock the Developer Options on the Note Edge and enable the USB Debugging Mode.
