anyone have a link to stock rom MF3 for galaxy s4 active.
I have a 1click recovery for MF1 and the new 4.3, but I cannot find a stock MF3 anywhere.
Also can ODIN be used to send rom .md5 files?
the new update to 4.3 sucks. WIFI problems make it unusable. im switching back to MF1 or MF3 if I can find it.

There is no MF3. The only thing we have is the leaked MF1 and MI2. I'm not sure you can downgrade either because of the locked bootloader, but it's worth a shot. Let us know if you can get back to MF1.
ok thanks. no wonder I couldn't find it. hahahah
** I was able to go back to MF1 successfully**
Haven't seen a thread for this, so here it goes. I followed one of the guides to get me to kk. I was having trouble doing ota so I flashed the 2400258.zip file, and rooted with tr. Not sure if the problem was there before root, but after every restart, I have to re enter wifi password. I have tried udroid, and firekat ,and still same issue. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you. Would also like to add my wife is on 100% official kk, rooted with tr, and she has no issues.
You must be on nc2 rom with old bootloader.
i have the same wifi issue.
1. Flash the nc2 bootloader
or flash a older rom that is not nc2.

What thread is the bootloader, and if it's Odin, what option do I flash it? ap?
Everybody say do not flash new bootloader cus you can't downgrade back to jellybean. But why would you want to go back?
Check the general thread titled nc2 bootloader/download fix.
Thanks bud. I'll give it a go.
Hi all,
My phone is using G900AUCU2AND3. It has been rooted and I also removed a lot of bloatware with Titanium Backup. Because of this, OTAs are failing.
I would like to flash the stock rom G900AUCU2AND3 again, so I can do that. However, I haven't been able to find it.
I only found G900AUCU1ANCE.
If I flash that ROM with ODIN, since that I'm downgrading, will I run into any issues?
Thanks a lot for your help.
the AND3 software is not out. if you have to fix a hard brick, bootloop or want a fresh start, you will need to downgrade to the ANCE firmware, flashing via odin.

This file, flashed via odin, will downgrade you to stock NCE ( minus the bootloader). Once on NCE you can take the ota update to the latest firmware, NG3:

The file from sammobile includes the NCE bootloader. Since you already updated the bootloader to ND3 you are unable to downgrade the BL back to NCE, hence my file minus the NCE BL.

So i get an i537 locked on AT&T ion ebay by almost 100 bucks so i decided to buy it instead an S3 because for the price was a better choice , thinking that i could unlock "free" but then i realized that i could do it but i had to have the zx3 box.... thing that i did'nt have and i am not going to buy it . So i had to buy the unlock code almost for 15 bucks on ebay with a link from a store of Spain, took me around 4 days to have it. The first thing that i wanted to do was root it, i hate bloatware, so i rooted it and leave the stock rom, yesterday i saw in gsmarena.com that it was getting Lollipop via OTA, so i had to restore it back in order to get it. Mine was running I537UCUCNH3 but i couldn't get the full firmware that is almost 1 gb or something like that so by mistake i get the I537UCUCNE3 to flash on odin.
It flash with no problems but then i get the problem that i didn't have the radio service, so i flashed the modem bin from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689218, after that i get signal and check for the update and it begins to download, almost an hour and a half then it begins to install the update and reboot and when it was on 28% it turned off and reboot. Then it says firmware was not installed and checked for the update and it says that is up to date check in XX hours again. I checked the band version and was on UCUAMF1 but with the I537UCUCNE3 version so i think that i flash it wrong and may be in the process of the update as is does not match it failed the update.
Now i can't restore again the modem.bin because it fails so i need urgent help to restore it and the lollipop update

Flash the NE3 Odin package again and then flash the NH3 OTA update. Assuming that your radios are working you should get the OC6 update right away. Just be aware that currently there is no way to root OC6 and may never be, plus there is no way to downgrade back to a firmware that is rootable.
The issue you're running in to is that the updater checks all the files on the phone before installing the update. If all the files match what it thinks should be there then it will update just fine. If anything is changed, any system files, modems, or even if you've just rooted the update will fail to install as you've seen.

No i don't have the NH3 OTA i have the previous one and the post is very annoying and confusing for me, i have this one SGH-I537UCUCNE3_v4.4.2_ATT_ALL but now i can't get service as i mentioned now if i flash the modem.bin it fails i think that i bricked it.
And yes i kow that if something does not match on a system update it will fail, had the same sittuation on the HTC One m7 when it was going to lollipop update but i just flashed the correct firmware and it worked but with this one i am havig a hardtime, because has the baseband version unknown but i can't flash the modem.bin

Did you read through the [HOW-TO][GUIDE] Install Any i537 Firmware? It explains exactly how to install any firmware you want. I know why you're having problems flashing the OTA's, but it seems like you haven't read how to flash them.

yes i have read it, it flash with no problems but weird part is that yesterday it worked fine but when i got the signal fix it shows on system version I537UCUCNE3 but band version was on MF1 an not on NE3. I can't remember what exactly i did after lollipop update fail but now i can't get the modem.bin working. So i guess that something went wrong during flash yesterday that now i can't fix the signal

The signal fix flashes the MF1 modems, that is why your band version says MF1; you're actually using modems from a older firmware.
These are exactly the steps you need to follow:
Start over and flash the NE3 Odin package. It doesn't matter if you have a signal or not because you should have already downloaded the OTA files with your computer ahead of time.
Once you're on stock NE3 (without modifying the modem), flash the NH3 OTA. Instructions on how to do that are described in detail in the i537 Firmware Guide.
Once you're on stock NH3, flash the OC6 OTA file. Instructions are described in detail in the i537 Firmware Guide.
If you still don't have a signal after you're on OC6, then try the Modem fix, but it may not work.
Basically what you need to do is follow the instructions step by step in the section titled "NE3 to OC6".

So you can reflash the NE3 Odin package, that's good. I understand you don't have a baseband, but we need to make sure you can update your phone to NH3 and OC6 before we try to fix that. What exactly does your phone say when you try to flash the NH3 update? Maybe posting a photo would be easier.
Also check that the MD5 of the files you downloaded matches the MD5 posted in the i537 Firmware Thread. If the MD5's match then you have a good download, if they don't match then you have a corrupted download and need to redownload the files.

Hey ho guys. I have a 5S with the Downgrade to NCE flash found on this board. I would like to have the latest Kitkat without updating to Lollipop and getting the locked bootloader. I just downgraded today to NCE and bravely did one OTA. It got me to NG3. Can I OTA again to get OA1 or will it jump me to OC4? Or should I use one of the methods here on the board to upgrade and totally avoid OTA? Thanks, later.

If you want root capabilities i wouldn't take any OTA. You'll still have to go back to NCE to root anyhow i believe. As far as the boot loader it is and always has been locked on the AT&T S5. The only method for root is towel root and I'm not sure if it'll work on NG3. If not you'll have to go down to NCE

Yeah, I should have preference that I am after root. But towelroot works on NG3, you can read about that here.

After I took the brave OTA I followed the threads instructions and it worked. There is a thread here that talks about root for OA1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120
It says just to take the OTA. I guess its still safe to take the OTA then after NG3? And I can't seem to find any rom on here thats stock OA1. Anyone know if I aren't seeing it? Thanks.

Most of the roms are based on nce or ng3. If you go to oa1 and flash a nce or ng3 rom your phone will be slow because of the different bootloader, and the camera is screwed up. I'd stay on ng3 and not worry about oa1. That's my opinion. I'm on 5.0 running the Twi5ted rom and having no problems with it. Most devs have moved to 5.0 lollipop and the 4.4.2 - 4.4.4 roms will be more and more abandond in my opinion.

Ah see I haven't tried any of the custom roms posted on here yet. But can I have NC3 as stock and on another ROM Slot (using Safestrap) have a Lollipop rom? Having one slot be 4.2.2 and the other be 5, basically. So the bootloader is different from NC3 to OA1, good to know. I'm glad I stopped at NC3 then. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure on the different slots and bootloader mainly because when i used different slots the battery drain was unbearable. I don't know if they every fixed the battery drain issue when using different slots. It was bad enough that i just stuck to the stock slot and flashed only in that slot.
