I tried to downgrade my galaxy s5 (thru at&t) back to 4.4.2, the problem was that I have received ALL oAL upgades.
At first the phone said encountered upgrade error so then I flashed 5.0 and now I have a phone that just goes to the first logo page and stays. Does anyone have the LATEST OAL 5.1.1 zip file or Odin file for at&t galaxy s5?
Or suggestions? I just need this phone back working Thank you all for your help!

I'm trying to use Odin to Fix my soft bricked i537 AT&T version, however I can't find the stock firmware for the S4 active anywhere. Can you please send me a link if you have one. And how did you solve the problem. I'm not sure using Odin will even solve my problem, however it seems similar to yours. Thanks in advance.

can you post a link to where the lollipop firmware for SM-G900A is? I've been looking around in the general S5 thread, but I still couldn't find it. I'd like to odin lollipop back to my phone. Thank you

They're in the AT&T S5 general section, the S5 general and ATT general section aren't the same.

Hi. There fellow android users, I am currenty plagued with an Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try Again Samsung Galaxy SM-G900A (AT&T) and i'm trying to get my phone back in working order. I've tried using Odin to flash AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 back on to it, sadly it fails everytime. If, anyone has any tips or pointers to help a noob out that would be great. xD.
Currently what i can do on the phone:
Get it to go in to download mode or Odin mode as it says at the top.
Any other questions you have on or about the phone just let me know and ill try to give you a promptly reply.
Hey guys i have Galaxy S6 SM-G920T running android 6.0.1 but i want to update it to nougat,so when i try to update there's no response from update option I even used Smart Switch to manually update it but it dosent works either. When i checked my device status in settings it said CUSTOM however in download mode it says everything is stock & official. I can use Odin to flash latest firmware but iam afraid that then device will get sim locked and other carriers wont work on it. Please Help me guys if i use Odin to flash stock nougat firmware then will i lose my signals? or there's any other way of updating it? HELP PLEASE
