So it seems that there is a problem with private mode files being "gone" after upgrading to lollipop. I have flashed the rooted lollipop Rom for g900a and it happened to me. The previous private mode files are not there. I've read they are still on the phone but not accessible. Has anyone found a fix to this for the rooted lollipop Rom? Any help is greatly appreciated!

My phone is on rooted L ROM provided by @muniz_ri and Private Mode is listed under Personalization and functional. I flashed from rooted NG3 using FlashFire. Try reflashing the ROM again.
You wiped your phone to flash the new rom, so no i do t think they are accessible anymore. If they are they are encrypted, and it will be no where even remotely near easy to get them back.

Hi
If you've done a nandroid backup, flash it.
If no backup, you can safely flash with odin a 4.2 ROM from sammobile.
Done the both because of some problems with kitkat and worked fine even if I'm on kitkat now with everything working fine.

I was wondering the same thing myself cause i tried several times with different Stock ROM's without any success??
When you are trid to flash it comes up with some kind off authenication error (The only ROM i able to flash is the 4.4.)
And i am not even able to Root without getting stuck during boot. Tried several senarios.
CF-Root causes boot lock
T
ried Also : recovery_6.0.4.7.tar.md5
Then i get this Warning: kernel is not seandroid enforcing
Status for SE for Android:
Enforcing + type details
Build no:
KOT49H.I9295XXUCNE4
I read somewhere that a Stock ROM with modified files could do the trick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715435
Maybe such a ROM would do the trick? Maybe someone else has done this work already.
i hope so - cause It kinda sucks running a Stock ROM
revert to 4.2.2
hello,
i have a GT-I9295
i have updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 PDA: I9295XXUCNH2 released 7 aug. via odin 3.09
had to do a factory reset to get wifi working, etc..
i then wanted to revert back to 4.2, but i couldn't, and still can't... i did the following:
- flash with odin the 4.2 from sammobile: error: NAND Write Start!!.....<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed. soft brik, Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
- tried to reflash the 4.4 firmware i already had with odin...same error.
- couldnt boot the phone again untill i flashed cwm 6.0.5.0
- installed carbon rom from cwm no problem. did reset, wipe cahe, format system, etc. i now have the not seandroid enforcing message when booting and entering recovery, but everything works.
- tried to flash again with odin the 4.2 official, still no luck. same error right after nand write.
i remember downgrading from 4.4 PDA: I9295XXUCNE4 to 4.2 PDA: I9295XXUBML3 with no problems a while back on my other i9295 via odin.
is the bootloader different in this version of 4.4 i flashed than the one i flashed a while back?
the weird thing is that i get the same write failure with reflashing 4.4 with odin.
any thoughts?
thank you
Small update. You will not be able to downgrade from next after ne5 versions of KitKat.

Hey guys so recently I had rooted my i537 S4 active and have been researching and modifying here and there until i decided to get a custom ROM. I found WickedROM via this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2491762 and considering it had worked on this person's i537 I decided to flash the ROM. After flashing I had become stuck in a bootloop and I can't get to anything besides DOWNLOAD MODE. Due to this problem I decided to run a stock firmware via Odin with this one_click http://rootzwiki.com/topic/44121-sgh...axy-s4-active/ ... this filled up until the bar was about 90% and then all of a sudden fails at <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4. I've tried other firmwares with no luck and have resorted to posting about this problem. please help and guide me in the right direction, my phone's been bricked for 3 days now. Trying to boot into recovery gives me the "there's been a problem with your firmware update, please run in Kies recovery" and Kies doesn't recognize my phone.

You forgot to flash the masterpatch which makes roms designed for the AT&T S4 (not active) work for our phone. If I understand correctly it needs to be flashed immediately after the rom is installed (i.e. still in SafeStrap, before you attempt to boot up).

That link is for MF1, an outdated firmware. Here is a collection of stock i537 firmwares. I can personally confirm the NH3 file is usable since I used it to upgrade to the most recent firmware without losing root.
This thread will provide you instructions on how to use Odin to flash any stock firmware. I can only add I recommend using Odin v3.07, as I've used it with the most success and fewest issues. Also use NH3 firmware or at the very least NE3, because anything else is outdated, assuming you were on stock KitKat originally, and you will encounter similar issues if trying to downgrade to jellybean.
Also flashing with Odin deletes all your saved files/user info etc. on your phone. From the sound of it, fixing your phone is going to involve inevitably wiping it one way or the other, so I hope you have a backup saved somewhere other than your phone's internal memory.

When you flash back to stock, you can only flash a version that is equal to or greater than the version you were already on. So if you were originally on 4.4.2 you can only flash a 4.4.2 stock ROM, any other ROM will fail to flash.

Thanks very much for this! I flashed an NE3 firmware and was able to get my phone in working condition. So if I wanted to flash a rom on my phone I would have to masterpatch AFTER the rom flash via Safestrap?

Yes, but make sure the phone doesn't reboot in between flashing the ROM and flashing the Masterpatch.

Thanks not what I wanted to hear, I was hoping someone could dump their rom or something for me to odin flash it.. but ok Thanks I appreciate your response
Fixed --brick fix
:angel:FIXED!!! NO BEST BUY NEEDED!!! THANKS TO NIKEDROP FOR POSTING THIS
If you need help I solved my soft brick. Put your phone into download mode then flash the stock kernal using odin. Reboot then flash using odin the stock partition. While this wont downgrade to 4.4.X because you are on ota 5.0 you will be able to get your phone back to 5.0 lollipop. Thanks to Fitz110 who uploaded these files and for the solution.

I posted the correct links. If they have been removed, best of luck to you. But what I did was reflash modem and kernel that should work if you brick it.
I'm also lost as well. I have my s5 for AT&T still on lollipop 5.0. I tried to downgrade before reading this and so far still don't have a working phone. Kies doesn't register the phone but I do have odin working and the stock recovery works and have already flashed the kernal plus stock partitions and still not working. Noth flashed without issue. I've also tried flashing the oc4 with built in odin and it fails every time. What else is there to try?

Hey these files no longer exist
Hey guys, after updating my phone to lollipop with the flashfire method to keep root, I (stupidly) used the settings->delete all data to do a factory reset a week later. Now my device bootloops. I can get it into download mode, but I was unsure what I should flash. I didn't see a 5.0 stock firmware that I could use with odin. Can I just flash an old kitkat firmware and be fine? Thanks in advance, everyone!
Edit: ANSWERED!
If u used @muniz_ri way to update ur fine to redo.
If u did ota u can't on 900a.
Yeah I used his method, thanks I'll try that now.
Thanks, that worked and all is well!
Now how to mark this as answered...
Ur last post .

More information on the rom you are on would help a lot.
But as a general rule, with odin you are able to flash kitkat as well, no lollipop needed. For odin there is no lollipop rom anyway.
@Gate11: get your last firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with the Odin-version, which is also offered at download-site. If you get a stable stock-ROM then, flash LP or MM-ROM you want.
