MJ5 or MI9 when downgrading?!? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason my version says mi9 instead of mj5. I completed all steps except step 10 as I wanted to at least get back to nb4. Any idea on what may have happened???

I have used those steps twice to get my phone back to MJ5. They work. There is either something your missing or you have upgraded to something different and are having issues going back.
but it does work.

Even the MI9 file included in the list?

Yes all files less the Mega one which is just a mirror to the MI9 fix anyway.

Got it. Didn't repartition. Thanks

I was asked "forced" to update last night and lost my root. I was wondering if there was any way to get back to MI9?? THANKS
Where is this thread?? And is it up to date??

Once you're on a new build its impossible to downgrade because the bootloader is locked. So sorry to say you're stuck. The builds ending with MJ5, and NB4 are android 4.3 jellybean and aren't bad at all! The 4.4 NC2, and MLG have quirks.
The restore to MJ5 thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
MI9 is Odin flashable and available here http://www.mediafire.com/?jmypf8ggtxu1a61
It's only good if you're still on MI9.
There is no restore method for any 4.4 versions. Just some modified NC2 or MLG roms available.

New update failed? What update?

Hi.
I have SIII mini with official JB 4.1.2, not rooted (installed using kies).
Today i received a notification for a 33.25 MB update.
Downloads fine but always fails to update around 28% of the installation.
What is this update and possible reasons why it fails?!
Thanks

Thanks for repying.
I'm not rooted. I just figure out what might be the problem. 4.1.2 TPH (free from carrier) for Portugal was released 59 days ago (when i updated using kies). But 4 days ago it showed up again, on "sammobile" and "samsung updates live", 4.1.2 TPH (Portugal). Here's the pic:

Since i can't update (from 4.1.2 to... 4.1.2 :silly: ) through OTA i'll try with KIES.
All went well using kies :good:

Can't unlock bootloader

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my C6603 and I keep getting errors or bootloops. My bootloader can be unlocked according to the attached screen.
I tried with Minimal ADB and I'm getting bootloops and with Sony Bootloader Unlock it's failing, according to this pic:

}
Drivers are installed correctly.
What's the catch?
Try using the fastboot package provided by DooMLoRD in his thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
Also, the unlock key they send you is case sensitive, so double check what you're entering.

I tried with DL's method and just tried with FT. STILL getting BOOTLOOPS !
Try flashing a stock FTF with full wipe, then try again.
Also, I just noticed that your IMEI number is in your screenshot. I would remove it from the image if I were you.

Tried it. Still getting bootloops.
Then I can't think of anything else apart from trying a different USB cable/port or PC, but that probably won't make any difference.
When I unlocked my bootloader it worked straight away with no problems.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
It worked on my XS. Looks like this one is a mystery.
Edit: CLEAN flashed it and tried an other port. Worked. Thanks for the suggestion!
You're welcome.

As I remember, flashing an unlocked-BL phone won't relock it, right? I'd like to relock it after gaining root on the .569.
That's correct.

Don't forget to backup your TA before you unlock the bootloader. Otherwise you'll loose your DRM keys forever and won't be able to re lock your bootloader

[Q] What is your Model name?

Hi,
I need help from all of you. Could anyone tell me what is your Phone Model?
I think it should be SM-N900A, but in my friend's phone it is SAMSUNG-SM-N900A, I'm not sure if it is original name or it has been modified.
You can install my app Phone INFO *Samsung* to get the Phone Model name. Download link in my signature.

[Q] Safestrap/Locked BL safe ROMS

For the few of us who still haven't/won't/can't unlock the BL, which roms are safestrap/locked BL compatible?
I'm on Krypton right now, but is there anything else?

I just installed Safestrap v3.65 on my os v 4.2.2 with no problem and have done a complete system backup with it to the Moto X's internal SD card. I'm rooted and write protection is removed.

I'm a tard I meant 4.4.2 , I thought someone figured out how to get safestrap with write protection but just wishful thinking lol

This is available for locked Verizon Moto X's still with write protect off and on the old bootloader - 4.4.2. This avoids updating the bootloader keeping write protect. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/116025-romsafestrap-unlockedxt1060-stock-rooted-vzw-164552-kitkat-442/

So I can't root my phone right now if it's G925VVRU2AOF1?

I just want to be clear. If not, is it going to be possible to do in the future?

Predicting the future of development is impossible. A root method can appear 5 seconds from now, or 5 months, or never. People working on finding exploits do not post about it until they have a working method to post.

You'll just have to wait until Marshmallow drops and a root exploit is found for that xP
I'm just hoping that we get root eventually for us that never had a chance to get the older one.

No root for you. at least not until a new exploit is found.
Downgrading
Ok so I accidentally upgraded my phone to g925vvru2aof1 verison, and when I researched to see if I could root I found it wasn’t supported. My question is, can I downgrade this version to a version that you can root? Or am I stuck on this update? Thanks in advance for your help!
