Just download the Tmobile N910T Lollipop official 5.0.1 firmware
from http://sammobile.com and use odin to flash the new firmware.
After doing that it will no longer display 4.4.4 it will display 5.0.1 as it should.
Good luck!

Could have been a build.prop edit. were you running a custom rom? anything else?
so many things it could be.

nope, everything was totally stock.

Unable to update to 5.0 using stock recovery

Hey XDA,
So I have a stock att s5 running android 4.4.2. Im trying to update to 5.0 using the stock recover and adb sideload, but it keeps throwing an error at me saying "protocol fault (no status)"
How would I go about fixing this error? do i need to update to 4.4.4 first?
thank!
Im on baseband version g900AUCU2AND3
Edit: could i possibly adb sideload the NCE to NG3 zip found in this thread and proceed from there?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120
or would it be easier to go to a best buy store and have one of those guys do it for me...
I ended up downgrading to NCE... working my way to there now >_>
moderators, do whatever you do to resolved threads.
You have to take the 4.4.4 incremental update B4 taking the 5.0 update. You can update it through recovery but have to download the file from the other thread about updating to 5.0 and change the name to update.zip. You MUST BE on 4.4.4 first though. Also,there is no root for 5.0 yet. If you want to stay rooted I would wait on taking that 5.0 update.

Yeah, I'm running though the updates now. I really want to hit something or someone right now. Im finally at 4.4.4
Yeah it takes a while to do all those updates but all worthwhile if we get to keep the root. Are you on rooted 4.4.4 now or are you staying stock? I'm on rooted 4.4.4 and NOT updating to 5.0 till I know it can be rooted. If it never gets rooted,I guess I'll never take it. I like my root too much.

Return rooted VZW xt1060 4.4 back to stock

Hi,
I rooted my GF's Verizon Moto X on 4.4 like 2 years ago and can't remember how I did it. I feel like it had something to do w/ slapMyMoto or one of those toolkits.
With the announcement of Lollipop finally being released I wanted to return it to stock so It can be updated to 5.1.
Does anyone know how I should go about doing this? Is it as simple as just doing a standard update? through the software update in "about phone" or will that break it without reverting somethign first?
EDIT: when i click on update, it give me the following error "Unfortuantely, com.motorola.vzw.settings.extensions has stopped"
EDIT2: looks like that previous error was because i had some of the updater/OTA apps frozen. It now seems to present me w/ the option to update to 4.4.2. Decided to give it a shot and try to take the OTA. It rebooted and shows the android guy with "installing update" then eventually turned to a "error" android guy and rebooted, so no successful update.
THanks and sorry for the probably dumb question. I've been too spoiled w/ nexus'.
Download the stock firmware and flash it with Moto's fastboot executable, at least if the bootloader is unlocked you can do that. I'm not really sure if it will work with a locked bootloader, but I'd imaging that it wouldn't. I believe that there is a sticky here that even guides one through the process of returning to stock.
Thanks, i did eventually find some info and flashed the stock 4.4 image. After doing so, I was able to take the OTA to 4.4.2. However now that i'm on 4.4.2, it says my "software is up to date" when checking for the 4.4.4 OTA. Anybody have any tips on how to get it to go to 4.4.4?

Root and upgrade out of country G900A

I'm not very hacky or what you call it, my know-how in this region is not very good, so I'm hoping someone here is able to help me.
When I was in USA I bought myself a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900A), paid it off and had it service unlocked (called AT&T and they unlocked it for me). Then I went back to Ukraine and now I want to to be rooted... and have lollipop.
I don't know how to upgrade it to lollipop... Kies and the phone says I have the latest firmware and I cant get it updated. On top of that, I've read in posts here that if I update before rooting it, I might be in trouble later on the road.
Towelroot V3 says that my phone is not supported so I can't root it that route...
I've read tutorials here about rooting with the ND3 update... first of all, I don't know what the ND3 update is and how to obtain it since I can't update my phone OTA in Ukraine.
How do I go about this?
More information about my phone (since I learned more information about this process).
Kernel date is Tuesday July 22 2014... towelroot is said to work for any before June 3, 2014... this is probably why my phone isn't supported.
Also, is it true that Android 5.0 removes the SD Card functionality???
Well, I got it rooted... thanks to muniz_ri!
I just went ahead and risked it, not knowing what ND3 or NG3 was.
My next step is flashing it to Android 5+ ... that is if it doesn't remove the SD Card functionality
Well, I found these instructions on flashing my G900A to a pre-rooted stock lollipop... the problem I'm having is with FireFlash... I can't seem to find that app anywhere.

SM-G870A Peace
Thank you!!!!!
Wait, I'm confused - you say you were able to downgrade your G900A to a rooted 4.x state? I thought root was impossible once you take the 5.0 update?

You can only if you didn't take on the 5.0 OC4 bootloader and kept OA1
I didn't take the 5.0 update since I am out of the country and OTA updates don't come here... but I did have the NG3 update... so I downgraded to ND3, rooted and went back to NG3... then I flashed a prerooted 5.0 stock ROM with OA1 (I think...) and now I'm using it...

Stock G900a downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop

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.

sorry, but i disagree. i just flashed from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 using odin and firmware found here on XDA. I have no problems with phone so far.
At the time of my post months ago, this was not possible. It is very possible now, I have also done it.

This is for the AT&T model, I haven't been able to crack into mine. I have battery issues since marshmallow and want to go back to 5.1.1 as well... where did you get the files, and what process did you use?

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.

//SM-G920A\\ Looking for Stock G920AUCS5DPJ1

Looking for the latest stock rom G920AUCS5DPJ1 released on October 26, 2016 by AT&T for security update and fixes.
Thanks for your help.
+1 to this request
I just got an update today, but it only took me to G920AUCS5DPI1 and no update is available. AT&T's support page says the latest version is G920AUCS5DPJ1. I'm bone stock, so I have no idea what the delay is...

I don't believe there's ever been a way to root MM at all on the S6.
If you really need root then you must go back to Lollipop.
Hi! How can we go back to lollipop? so easy as flash lollipop stock ATT version with odin?
PD: I did more reading and I realized that I may be stuck :....( Having this G920AUCS5DPJ1 S6 6.0.1 version I am unable to even flash TWRP. ... so I guess right now this phone is unrooteable and un TWRPable???
I confirm: once you get the phone on a newer version, you can't downgrade it. I tried to go from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 flashing with ODIN. The ODIN process went well, but after the phone took the older load, it got stuck in the ANDROID screen
To get it back to life i had to flash again its original stock version at 6..0.1
