Will flashing an older firmware get me out of the bootloop?



My model number is the SM-N910P. I was on Android 5.0.1 when I first rooted and flashed CM12.1 on my phone. However, as I incrementally updated the CM nightlies, my signal seemed to get weaker over time even to the point where I simply have no service at all. I decided to snoop around and found that updating firmwares may fix these random signal drops since I was still on the Sprint 5.0.1 firmware while running the CM12.1 based on 5.1.1.

I managed to successfully flash the official 5.1.1 firmware from the Sammobile website and thought for some reason the cf auto root file (based on 4.4.4 according to the site) would work with the 5.1.1 firmware. Obviously, that wasn't the case and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I assume there is no root method that works with the 5.1.1 firmware yet. Is that true? I do believe that was the reason for the bootloop, but I'm not 100% certain.

I'm currently downloading both the 4.4.4 and the 5.0.1 firmwares. Will flashing either of these firmwares via Odin get rid of the bootloop? Or will it fail?

Thank you for the answers in advanced!
