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:

Thanks. I was planning to flash this:

Isn't that the same? Just to double check.

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.

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 there,
I am trying to restore my phone back to stock firmware in order to return it for insurance. Currently, I was able to unroot the phone and it is on the NG3 stock firmware. I still have safestrap recovery installed and I want to use odin to return the phone to 100% stock like it was when I got it. The only stock firmware I could find was for the NCE build. Would it work to flash that with odin and then OTA to NG3? If not, would somebody be able to share the correct NG3 firmware that I could flash with odin?
Thanks so much for your help!
Yes NCE will revert it to the day you bought it.

If your phone isn't rooted and you've confirmed using root checker already just uninstall Safestrap apk.
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900and3tong3keeprootota-zip-t2862299
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.
As the thread states....has anyone tried to flash stock DOK2 firmware from the new MM update? I have searched and asked many questions but have not gotten a solid answer. And if no one knows or no one has tried yet, would someone who had already taken the update be willing to try flashing stock DOK2 firmware? For developmental purposes. Thanks in advance. ?
Anyone got root for Marshmallow?

Root works perfectly fine. Use SuperSu Systemless root. I believe the version number is 2.74-2. It's the latest beta if I'm not mistaken.
First use ODIN to get TWRP onto the device and then flash the supersu zip like usual.
I was thinking of just using flashfire to flash BL and modem only then install the rom..that way it doesnt overwrite recovery... bad idea ?

I was able to downgrade to DOK2 but I only flashed the bootloader & modem file not the entire firmware
If you flashed BL then we are good. I wonder if the MM bootloader is like n910G.....they couldn't go from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 but when they got 6.0.1 they were able to got back 2 steps to 4.4.4.like a magical BL unlock ha

What files did you use? I tried flashing the entire dok2 firmware through Odin and kept getting stuck in a bootloop. If I could just flash those 2 files that would be great.

I have downgraded from a full PE3 to OK2. Worked fine.
Awesome...that makes me feel safer...I might try to odin nk4 later just for ships and giggles haha
does anyone know if you can downgrade from MM PE3 to KK ANK4? I know that you can't go from DOK2 to ANK4. Love firekat too much

I had a T-mobile Note 4 (N910T) on 5.0.1 , downgraded to KitKat 4.4.4, when Lolipop 5.1.1 came out I upgraded. rooted, and then flashed custom rom Tekxodus .. phone used to restart randomly .. later discovered that once you upgrade OK2 you get locked and no longer can downgrade to KK.
later on, the phone started to give mmc error and then just died.
Lesson Learned, stay on 5.0.1 or downgrade to 4.4.4 and stay there.
I still wonder if Android 6.0.1 Locks down the downgrade process to 4.4.4. I doubt it will allow it.

Ok. You just downgrade, but I have a question.
After you flashed BL and CS, you still have to flash the firmware, right? So, I have to have the firmware OK2 too, right?

Yea if you want everything to be OK2 but its not necessary....if you are gonna use twrp, u dont need to odin recovery....and if you are gonna use a custom rom instead of stock then you dont need to odin system...so basically anyone with twrp and a custom OS is only using BL and Modem
But i always just flash it all just to be thorough....

Is this odin flashable? Or do you have to flash from recovery.
I think the first one is odin flashable, the second is through stock recovery.
