While I couldn't wait for ever for the update, I decided to root, I customized a bit and then I find out there is a new update, so I tried to update. Of course, my update failed (status: 7).
I believe that this is due to customization, can someone show me how to restore to stock or how to successfully update?
Thanks in advanced!

Get your phone back to stock state... You deleted apps, restore them. You did make a backup right??
If you didn't do the ota to the jb leak then rsd back to stock ICS. Read the threads.

thanks
Thank you for responding, I tried this rsd lite thing already, im not on the jb leak im on stock 4.0.4 and when i tried to restore it would get to 1/23 and then say that it failed flashing. Now everytime i power on it boots to ap fastboot, i know how to get out of ap by the boot menu but its still kind of bothering me, any alternative to that?

Again...replaced all missing system apps and vendor apps with permission:
read: group, owner, other

Should be right?
Superuser app is in system-app too! Is that right too?
Thx.:good:

Just went to pull that for you but realized im not rooted right now. Planning on rooting again soon if you still need it later message me
Thanks!,
I just realized I have a bigger problem now anyways, ADB says device is offline which means I could not push it anyways.
Looking for other options now.

yes, I took the MJ5 update, so MI9 is not an option,
I modified the framework-res which caused a soft brick, however I must not had turned on debugging in dev options prior to doing so, so I cannot use adb to push anything as it sees the device but is offline.
I could sideload an update.zip in recovery it has to be signed or else it would fail...
Any suggestions?
Are you booting at all and getting fcs or no boot what so ever?
I'm requesting someone find the Odin files to flash to an i537 model for KitKat 4.4.2, as I can't find it anywhere. If I can't, I'll go to Samsung at Best Buy and uh..... Ask for the Odin files(they use Odin there XD)
Please help as ODIN is the only way I have been able to update, OTAs fail and recovery install from cache, external SD fails. Everything but Odin fails, so anybody help?

Have you tried flashing the 4.3 firmware then flashing the OTA? At this time I don't think they have released a full Odin 4.4.2

Yeah, I tried it all my friend, I need the Odin files.
yes i too in fact need the odin files asap. I know nobody likes being asked for ETA's but how long does it usually take to get the ODIN files?

Considering we never got the Odin files for MF2 or MF3, we may never get Odin files for NC9.
Just do a hard reset (VOL+/HOME/POWER), boot your phone then do a Factory reset from within the phone with selecting format SD card option (back your stuff up!). Then go back, enable USB debugging and flash the stock ML2 firmware EXCEPT for the BL file! then re-enable USB debugging and download the 2400258.cfg file from here, rename it to update.zip and flash it via stock recovery, problem solved. As for the ODIN files, here's a good read on why @Devo7v is right with his assessment on not ever seeing them. More info on the stock SGH-i537 firmware here.

How are you forcing the update through Odin? We don't have the Odin files for 4.4.2, so I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you can only flash the 4.3 files with Odin and you cannot get the cfg file to flash through stock recovery?

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I forced 4.3 through ODIN and the cfg file doesn't work, in all possible ways. And it won't work when renamed to update.zip either.

Did you check the MD5 to make sure that it downloaded properly? My suggestion would be to download it with a computer, rename it to "update.zip" on a computer, copy it to your internal memory on the phone, and flash it through stock recovery. This should work, what errors do you get when you try to flash it? You're on stock 4.3 when you try to update, correct? In order to flash the OTA you cannot be rooted or have modified the system in any way.

Good advice and I'll further add make sure when you rename the 2400258.cfg that you have known file extensions enabled and then right click and highlight the entire file "2400258.cfg" and then rename that to "update.zip"
Trust us, this will work.

I'm almost positive you're doing something wrong since you're the only one that is having this problem. I know @jkeuclid has already walked one person through this process step-by-step, I don't want to speak for him but he'd probably be willing to do the same for you.

Thank you. UPDATE-
I checked, my Baseband version and Build Number don't match.... MF1 vs. ML2. So that could be presenting some of the problem. I'm going to try to find a partition file for stick 4.3 then rehash everything through ODIN and attempt an update. Any other suggestions anyone?

Did you ever figured this out? I'm having the same issue. Can't update using the cfg file.
Just my quess but the OP and others in this thread have possibly problem understanding relationship of Odin with Stock Recovery
If your phone is stock 4.3 and you have the 444 MB update renamed to update.zip already moved over to microSD card.....

Please I need your help, I was trying to upgrade to 4.4 from 4.3 ML2, on i537, but when i did, I lost my wifi and camera and media, (I mean , I cant play any song, show me a message that cant play, "File not Suppoted') anyways, the help that I need is if you can help me with your stock rom, so I can flash my phone with your files, please. Im downgrade to 4.3 again and I used one backup that I did before upgrade, but still not work wifi and media, I already flashed the moden.bin from xda to fix wifi, but still not work, I want to try to flash a Real stock rom, and see what happen, cause Im very stress...
This is common for failure when modifying firmware with Odin. Black-and-Blue is what I call the error. My screen has gone black after a failure after the color Samsung animation, and the blue boot light is looping. I tried following instructions on how to un-brick it. They are all the same though. Odin, firmware. But what had caused the problem was this exactly. I need a way to fix this. Unless it is just easier to bring it in for maintenance. (I have not tripped Knox as I was only installing Firmware.) I cannot connect to Kies. I can access Stock Recovery and download mode. Can anyone suggest anything different than this method?
I am a new user at XDA but I am not new to Android or the Forums. I know many things, so you don't have to be too lament.

Head down to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120 and scroll down to the notes section and download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar. Boot into download mode and flash using the pda slot in ODIN. Take both OTA's and youll be back on latest stock firmware.
Thanks

Go to this linked site -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120
Here you'll find how to root. Go to the troubleshooting section and download a tar called G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar to your computer. Then inject to AP in Odin.
Hope this will work! ?
***The steps below will work on all Bootloader versions except OC4(Android 5.0), Do not use this process if you have taken the OC4 ota update!***
1. Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar and extract the .tar.
2. Go into Download Mode by pressing and holding the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys on your device until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key.
3. Flash the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Note: The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!
Attention! If you have taken the OC4 ota update and need to unbrick after attempting to downgrade try flashing the: G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions
So why is it that the g900a is the only gs5 that can't downgrade from 5.0? even Verizon can???
I had a different Downgrade to NCE file. Tried this one and my phone is back up and running. Phew!! Thanks so much!!
Is it safe to flash over ND3? I'm not recieving any ota. Will I receive Ota After flashing this?

Phone gets stuck up!
For some reason. i tried to unbrick my phone from the rooted stock firmware 5.0 and it ended up with the boot loop. Already tried the downgrade to NCE. Now it gets worse because all I can see so far is the logo of ATT and that's it. Anyone could help me out with that???

I'm sure you probably already tried this but if not pull the battery for a few seconds and then try going back into download mode and try the process again.
How did you upgrade to 5.0 (which method) You may have to provide more detail, there are a lot people who have way more knowledge than I do, but I hope this helps
Good luck and give the forums a search

Thanks for the reply! I actually upgraded to 5.0 by the flashfire method since before that I already got the rooted 4.4.4. Just yesterday, when I left my phone for a while and came back, it started to stick with the bootloop, , the only method which could help it out is to plug it into the power source. I tried everything which includes removing battery and wiping factory downgrading, flashing original firmware, reinstalling the OTA 5.0 update through sdcard. None of that worked. If you have any information to help me out,I would be way happy to listen! Thank you !
I've had this same problem. Are you still bootlooping?

Thank you so much for this. Worked perfectly for a downgrade from 4.4.4. You're the best!
Currently installing updates OTA.
Hi muniz, I posted in your KeepRoot for 5.0 thread and then I saw this one. My phone seems to have spontaneously softbricked (system crashes and then it bootloops). Will flashing the stock 5.0 make me lose root?
EDIT: Fixed with a battery pull!

Just to clarify, my S5 is on the OC4 build. Will I be able to downgrade to KK using the above file, or is it ONLY to fix a device that got bricked while trying to downgrade? If the latter, are OC4 users just hosed? I have scoured this site, but would appreciate links to any instructive threads that I may have missed. Thanks!
