All credit for this exe goes to dottat, weaksauce and firewater to jcase. I'm just a guy who found out this works for downgrading.

Download 605.1 exe from here

Follow instructions from exe, plug in phone etc.

After it finishes you will be in 605.1 ota firmware and ready to s-off using firewater and weaksauce.
, from there, install twrp using fastboot

follow this method. download the 605.1 exe.

IT WORKS FOR 605.5 TO DOWNGRADE. JUST DID IT SUCCESFULLY ON MINE.

ALL CREDIT GOES TO DOTTAT BUT HE WAS WRONG ABOUT THE VERSIONERROR TISJFIASMFKM

TYTYTY. now we dont need to pay 25 bucks or wait for sunshine! ALL MY ****S JCASE GET REKT

One case where I will be more than happy to be wrong too :)... You can still buy us a beer or some wine for jcase lol... just saying.

*edit- I just saw you post on twitter and suggest you change your tune. You wouldn't be rooted right now were it not for work we both spent time on to make it possible. Left to yourself you would be sitting unrooted. Show some gratitude instead of telling the very same people who helped you to get REKT.

are you referring to the one where i apologized to justincase?
Yep...You edited your first tweet which was good. And apologized. Now this one seems silly..

Be glad this was switched to this before they lost the motivation to brick their own devices and waste countless hours trying to find an exploit that takes you minutes to enjoy for the lifetime of the phone.

huh, i feel like ive been in my place all along! we dont live in a communist society my place is wherever i want it to be. now relax

Are you ready to place nice in the sandbox and show some gratitude towards those who contribute to your fun? The alternative is you work on your exploits and recovery methods?

Two things I don't detect/see in this thread are 1) an original guide and 2) contrite words.

Thanks. You leave me wondering why in the hell I ever took the time to provide these to the community...

Enough

Enough.

I won't reitorate what has already been said off-site. OP apologized to Jcase. Congrats on finding an alternative method, you did what was suggested when you don't like how something is being done.

This thread however is not a guide and as such, can be treated as a general discussion and for the time being will have the title modified to reflect so.

Further discussion about "sticking it to the man" is over.

Yes this isn't a communist country but XDA is not a country. Your rights here are subject to the rules we outline to you and nothing more so show some respect.

That is all.

Most people here appreciate the work of jcase and beaups, unfortunately there are a few who don't treasure the developer's hard work. $25 is not much compared to the amount of doors they open when their work unlocks our phones. In the Sunshine thread there was someone who claimed they purposefully stopped weaksauce from working so the developers could get their $25 bucks via Sunshine. Despicable.

Anyway, I'm posting this because I just watched a presentation by jcase. In it he describes android vulnerabilities and a few times he mentioned the DNA. Finding exploits may be their hobby but they spend a bunch of time and effort on this and it has made my experience with the DNA awesome.

Doesn't work

I'm trying to downgrade from 605.5 to 605.1 and RUU doesn't work.

Gives me an 171 error and the log says it failed to verify for signatures.

Any thoughts?

    Like he said in his tweet, you cant judge the whole community by 1 person. I thank you for all your hard work, and I am sure the other 99.9% appreciate all the devs hard work.
