If your phone is ATT S5,
Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464416
Use Odin 3.09 and flash in AP slot. Once it is done then take the OTA for NG3 then OA1
Thanks to @muniz_ri

How long did you wait? If blue light is pulsing means phone is working. Try get to recovery mode and clear cache and davik.

That is what I though OK what you need to do is go to the troubleshooting section of that thread and download the G900A downgrade to NCE rar file and extract the G900A downgrade to NCE tar md5 and flash that in the ap slot of Odin 3.09 that will take you back to bone stock NCE then if you want to get back to NG3 rooted follow the steps in this thread exactly the thread is locked but the links are still good.

I know I knew what you posted but I wanted to make sure he was coming from 4.4.4 I did the exact same thing a couple days ago coming from OA1 it's not a hard fix at all and I wanted to make sure he was clear on what he did.

The downgrade to NCE (G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar) that @muniz_ri created is a life saver. I have used it many times myself.

It should work. Follow the directions mentioned above.

Background: I had updated to OA1 4.4.4 on s5 900A. I had some issues, so I decided to downgrade as described in the upgrade thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120.
I would downgrade by flashing in odin the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar, as well as the G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel, rerooting with towelroot, installing safestrap, and flashing one of the many 4.4.2 roms.
However, upon boot all of the 4.4.2 roms would be laggy, I would sometimes get a green/pixilated effect on the lockscreen when unlocking, and battery life would be sub par. I came across this app on play store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en , and even though I had downgraded the kernel, the bootloader read as OA1, even after flashing in Odin the ND3 stock kernel.
I believed that was causing the issues I was having, and was under the impression that the bootloader could not be downgraded. In a fit of frustration I did the following, and fixed the problem!
Solution:
This is not a step by step, but a rough approximation of what I did, if you need more detail, just ask.
1. I downloaded and put on my SD card G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934525665
2. In odin 3.09 I flashed G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464416,
3. Also in the AP slot I flashed G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464356
3. My phone was unrooted at this time. I let it boot up, downloaded the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to the phone from the playstore, opened and my bootloader remained OA1. The camera was normal, and the boot was slow, so I was where I was many times before.
4. I shut down the phone, I rebooted holding volume up, power and start until I got to the standard, built in samsung recovery.
5. I located my download of G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip, and flashed it via the samsung recovery. It took about 5 minutes.
6. The phone rebooted, and the phone info app said I had and NG3 baseband! It had downgraded! However, towel root was not compatible.
7. I flashed in odin G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel again. Now towelroot rooted the phone. I installed busybox and superuser from the playstore, then safestrap again.
Now I can flash any of the 4.4.2 roms, none of the slowbooting, stuttering lockscreen or battery issues seem to be present, and Phone INFO ★Samsung★ has my baseband and bootloader as NG3.
All credit goes to muniz_ri, these are all his tools! I just stumbled across this method and thought others might benefit.
I can confirm this.
I was on OA1 after flashing OA1 OTA zip from recovery.
Later, I downgraded by flashing G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar. Bootloader after this was OA1.
Flashed G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip from recovery. Bootloader and baseband changed to NG3.
Bootloader and Baseband version was verified using 'phone info' app from play store.

Likewise, just did it, I found with me, the OTA zip file would not install with the ND3 kernel installed. So I did the original odin downgrade to NCE, booted, then the OTA zip file, booted, Then the ND3 kernel Tar file in odin. Worked .Good luck:good:
so the nce to ng3 downgrade goes in the ap or BL?

NCE. to NG3. OTA zip is done in original recovery by pressing power + volume up + home key. Then install update from Sd external.

was on Muniz 5.0, downgraded to xtreme dynamic kitkat. Still had oa1 bootloader, and was laggin really bad on boot.
Flashed this in stock recovery (wipes data part ) and reloaded my apps.
All seems to be well, without the need to go back to stock in between.
Thank you - this totally worked for me and got rid of the lag in my 4.4.2 ROM (XDK) as I had taken the upgrade to 4.4.4 way back when!
Hi,
do you do step 2 & 3 at the same time?
which field in Odin do you put the .tar file?
Thanks,

hi thank you, i tried this but now it is stuck on galaxy s5 logo with unlocked padlock. and there no reboot , just stay the phone on. no way to switch off except take out the battery.
please advise
Mine was like this and I also tried the above to no avail....the only way I found around it was to take it in to ATT store and have them "re-flash the Lolipop update" Wiped my phone but it works, now I just have to wait (patiently) for root exploit for the OTA 5.0.

Sweet! I was in the same boat and saw the post about getting stuck on the Samsung screen. This solution worked perfectly!
Thanks!
So I restored my phone back to stock lolipop via odin, flashed CF auto root and TWRP.
The issue that I am experiencing is whenever I try to flash any lolipop rom via TWRP it says it was successful .
When i try to reboot it shows samsung logo and then goes back. This happens every time since i flashed the stock rom.
I odin LP before for stock and did the correct steps and it worked before. Now i am not sure. Yea i flashed a kernal too and nothing.
any suggestion
Resolved my issue, i was being a total N00b, i was flashing a stock 4.4.4 odin lol, i guess i never flashed odin 5.0.1 before my bad. Disregard this, thanks

Lol. It happens. I did that the other night. Was wayyyy too tired to be flashing anything in the first place!!! Glad you got it sorted.
I have a S5 Active that was rooted on 5.0 and I tried to unroot through SU and factory restore. Now im stuck at the at&t logo. I've downloaded just about every file and tried upgrading to 5.1.1 downgrading and nothing works. I know this is a long shot but is there anything i can do?
edit- tried flashing bootloader MD5 but odin keeps failing. Recovery says LRX21T.G870AUCU1BOC5

When that happened to me, I used muniz's methods to fix my G870A. Here's the link:
http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s5-active-to-lollipop-root-it-and-enable-wifi-tethering/
Before doing anything, try flashing the bootloader MD5 file using Odin, that could be the problem. If that doesn't work,go ahead and download the STOCK firmware for the G870A and flash it. This will take you back to 4.4.2 KK, but you can easily use muniz's method after that to get either rooted or unrooted Lollipop. Good luck!
