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 guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S5 back in April and now I am selling it so that I can purchase the LG G3. The problem is I'm trying to flash back to stock with Odin and it won't work. I downloaded the stock firmware from Sammobile and loaded it into Odin, put my phone in download mode and hit start and it says "fail." I can't get it to flash. I'm rooted but I haven't installed a recovery or custom rom. Any guidance would really help. I have no idea why I'm getting fail errors.

I'm rooted but I haven't installed a recovery or custom rom. I used the Supersu update by chainfire to disable knox. I remember on previous Galaxy S versions that if you took the OTA update it prevented you from flashing custom roms of flashing back to stock. But I haven't taken an OTA update or anything so I can't figure out why it keeps saying fail? Do you think I need to re-enable knox? If so, can I do that in Supersu? Or is there another problem? Any guidance would really help.

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.

Searching via cell isn't great for me at the moment. I've found a few threads with lollipop files to use in Odin. But I haven't read anything that says it's simple to flash them and downgrade properly from Marshmallow to Lollipop. Is there a tutorial/file thread already on here that I am missing via search? Is this something I can do without rooting?
Da hell is that chipmunk woman
Sammobile doesn't have the stock 5.1 firmware.. is that an omen against downgrading?
Most of the posts ive read are indicating Marshmallow is not able to be downgraded, bootloader locked.. looks like a dead end
It's a different boot loader, will not be able to downgrade. There is no root option at this time as well.

following this guide for rolling back to LP, work for me downgrade from MM and getting root on LP.
Mine didn't... version DPH4, october 1, 2016 security patch, odin gave me an error something like level 4 > 3 and didn't start the reflash process. I was able to reflash the same 6.0.1 and its not the same as what was on there, so maybe the ota updates had a problem? I'm still locked out of downgrading.
Mine also from DPH4 oct 1, 2016. Having issue with lte, i cant receive call but i can make call. So im rollback to COI5 and follow the instruction from page 2. Get odin 3.11.1 to flash BL,AP,etc. Have you try with other usb cable?

i also have the at&t model, but used some info in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196
i used odin to flash full OI5 firmware, minus the bootloader file. Only use the AP, CP, and CSC files. the bootloader is the same. and really, i had already flashed the PA2 build earlier that day i remember now. would probably do that first. flashing the PA2, i used all four files, BL, AP, CP, and CSC . they both flashed the first time, if they dont then try a different cable first. usually that is my issue.
so , i flashed from 6.0.1 down to 5.1.1 pa2, then down to oi5. still have no problems other than getting root..... im focusing on bootloader now, i have unlocked them on htc's before, but havent tried any other phone yet. the work continues tonight.
Is there a way to get future updates after rooting my device ?
You mean future updates from Samsung or independent third party?
Yes, just download the future firmware and flash it with Odin. You'll lose your root but you can root it again. You can repeat this process again and again for every new update. Even I have done it too with my j5(2015).

I was able to get OTA even after I rooted, you may copy the ota file and then flash stock AP( firmware's portion selected in AP section of odin) and flash OTA from the stock firmware and then flash twrp again.
Hideous I know but you dont have to search the whole internet for your firmware and most trusted sammobile requires premium for even decent download speed.
