Ok First..
there was a weird update for ATT and i updated.. no big deal.. device wasnt rooted
Looked at ping pong root to see if my build number was supported and it was! , so i rooted my device..
shortly after realized rooting a 5.0.2 is pointless because im into that SBGAMEHACKER app alot, and not having it makes majorty of the root pointless.. so I downloaded the latest ATT stock firmware off of one of the major posts here with all these links and downloaded the correct odin .. flashed stock firmware, went into the back door of the phone and did a hard reset/plus wipe cache ...
phone is great now and all but something wierd.. starting the phone, there is no att "locker" how it always be... and also the keyboard is not the actual lolipop keyboard, it has that swype ugly looking keyboard, tried hard reseting again by doing wipe factory reset etc.. and flashing using odin stock firmware again but no luck at all.. phone is fine and all, but its bothering me that its really not 100% ATT stock...
anyone have links to a true ATT Stock firmware for latest software?

Hi, so last night i tried to put gingerbread and serendipity on my friends captivate thats unlocked to tmobile.
All the odin package to install the bootloader and gb went well but when i flashed the kernal it just messed the functionality of the phone up and i had to odin back to stock.
He is on eclair still. I was told that it should work with tmobile. I dont have to put serendipity on but as an end result he does want gb rooted. So...is there any tmobile happy roms available that will get my gb rooted?
thanks in advance
all great roms here are "t mobile happy". What exactly went wrong in the process?
Any rom will work, as long as the phone is unlocked. I assume you already know that the cappy will be missing one of the bands for Tmo.
ok, so all went smooth at first using odin to flash the bootloader and stock gingerbread. Next I went and used odin to flash the kernal and it installed properly and even showed up right in the settings as the right kernal.
After reboot these were the problems i encountered:
- home button didnt work at all
-when making a call and hitting send, the phone would turn off
-no data - no market or web connectivity
- other little things
the stock gingerbread was working fine after the first flash. can i flash any kernal to root or just retry the same one?
thanks
Sounds like you installed a i9000 rom. Double check your rom source.
on the splash screen it said i9000 but i thought it was just ported over or something. but i got it from the captivate page... uggh im lost if thats the case
Hey folks, im having issues with sim unlocking my galaxy Note. Funny enough ive done that for my girlfriends Note a couple weeks ago. By mistake i deleted the firmware i used to downgrade and now im lost. I used cf-factoryRFS KJ1 to downgrade but it still showing same baseband. So when i try helroz apk it wont unlock the tab. I know it can be Done because my girlfriend Note is the same(hers is white) and mines black. Other than that, same stock firmware and everything. Since its from ClaroPR im afraid of flashing a foreign stock KJ1 because i may lose the csc(PCT for claropr). So if someone can point me to the right direction ill be very happy... Like i said, i know it can be done because i did on hers and its they both came with same firmware and everything. I just forgot the files i used and cant remember exactly which ones.

You can download any rom package, extract with 7zip and remove the CSC file (cache.img) and then flash, won't cause any issues and you'll retain your current csc.

So I ****** up, I'm usually good with this stuff but I don't know...
Anyways here is what happened. I had a rooted stock rom on Jellybean. Working fine I wanted to upgrade so...
I installed safestrap 3.71 and flashed the Urdroid stock rooted kitkat rom. Then I went onto ODIN and installed the files in this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
I got an error and realized crap the ATT Note 3 is not the same as the Rogers version...
ATT = SM900A
Rogers = SMN900W8
soooooo I realized I've been in the wrong forum this whole time and I was wondering what can I do to get help? Safestrap/recovery still works and I'm pretty sure I can flash JB roms still. I'm not sure which rom to use and where to go now.
What can I do to get back to stock or even better get a working Jellybean Rom?
Thanks a lot!
Okay I'm downloading the stock firmware from that sammobile and going to flash it with ODIN, hopefully should put me back to factory condition
(RESOLVED)
Alright so in order to not bore you all, ill get to the point. I messed up trying to do impossible things with my I537 because I didn't read any forums before trying... stupid I know. That being said I now have a "soft bricked" phone stuck in download mode. I have been looking around (I assume not hard enough) for the right file to flash with ODIN to get me back up and running so I can actually do my research this time before playing with different stock roms.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the right files to unbrick this thing?
First things first: this forum is for the SGH-I537 AT&T Galaxy S4 Active, not the I527 Galaxy Mega. I just want to make sure you have the right device. If you have the Mega (I527), you want this forum, and ignore the rest of this post.
If you do in fact have the Galaxy S4 Active (I537), then check out this thread, it has all the official firmware files that have been released for this device. I would recommend using the firmware files for NE3 (KitKat) to flash in Odin. The NE3 build is the easiest to root, and you can always use the keep-root method to upgrade to lollipop if you so desire.
Oh yes sorry that was a mistype. I did indeed mean to type I537. Ok Ill give this a shot and update on how it goes.
Ok so Im currently downloading the Full Odin package, but I have already rooted the phone with towelroot. Is that going to be an issue?
Nah it won't be a problem. Flashing firmware files with Odin will unroot your phone (it resets everything to original factory settings). You can always reroot with towel root again
Ok new problem though, I was able to get everything flashed through ODIN, it restarts; then I get the Samsung boot screen, att boot screen and then it just goes black. I put it back into download mode and tried to re-flash it a couple times but it keeps doing the same thing. Thoughts? This Is the section I got the file from;
I537UCUCNE3 (4.4.2) Released 2014-06-06 - OFFICIAL
Issue has been solved, I just had a battery issue but after changing that and letting the phone charge up it started up great. Thanks for all your help "thisisapoorusernamechoice"
Hi Everyone,
I am kind of lost in the upgrade process.
6 months ago, my Samsung Note 3 (USA AT&T) phone was working perfectly fine, but just with OLD firmware. ,then due to urge on upgrading, i searched so many sites and found a link somewhere on droidviews.com (as my firmware was NJ1 or something, website said i need to upgrade to NC2, and then to OC1), this process messed up my phone call receiving & making capabilities.
Most of the time callers see me unreachable and I am unable to call them as i get "emergency calls only"....I still don't have a way out from this issue. Some places I read i need to install right CSC / modem etc, I even tried this thread by reflashing using ODIN & N900AUCUEOC1_N900AATTEOC1_N900AUCUEOC1_HOME.tar. Even after this, i still have calls related issues same as above.
Can someone guide me to right direct (or) did i totally messed up with this? BTW, i am now in INDIA, using Airtel services...
I believe nj1 firmware is newer than nc2.
The Odin files came from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 ?

Thanks. I tried flashing to OC1, still same problem. my calls are mostly not working. Is there a way i can go back to original 4.3 stock rom that came with Note3 AT&T? or is there a way i can get current AT&T rom (latest) to try with?
Good part is, i can go between 4.4.3 and 5.0 as i have original stock roms downloaded. But bad part is, my calls still failing...
appreciate any clue/help.
Where did you get the stock ROM? AT&T never released full firmware for the 900a.
There is no way to go back fully to 4.3 since the phone bootloader can be downgraded to 4.3.

Hi, i downloaded NC2 & OC1 stock firmwares from XDA only. they are loading up fine (using ODIN). But my calling problem remains same.
So, Yesterday, i tried rooting the phone and installed AllianceROM. then i went into series of issues like "unfortunately NFC has stopped", "unfortunately settings has stopped" etc... then followed the instruction to wipe/factory reset, 3 to 4 times and disabled NFC services etc. As of now, phone works fine, but still need to check the calling function for a week...
thanks for your time.

Are we SOL with 900a? I was in the wrong forum earlier and was ready to use update to 7...until I realized it wasn't for me.
Dying on Lollipop (where I landed after the 7 fallout)
I re-read my post and noticed that I made an error: the bootloader on an n900a CANNOT be downgraded.
You cannot flash any ROM to the phone using TWRP, you must use flashfire. Only ROMs based on the stock Samsung ROM can be flashed to the n900a.
