[Q] Odin back to stock

Hi there,
I am trying to restore my phone back to stock firmware in order to return it for insurance. Currently, I was able to unroot the phone and it is on the NG3 stock firmware. I still have safestrap recovery installed and I want to use odin to return the phone to 100% stock like it was when I got it. The only stock firmware I could find was for the NCE build. Would it work to flash that with odin and then OTA to NG3? If not, would somebody be able to share the correct NG3 firmware that I could flash with odin?
Thanks so much for your help!

Yes NCE will revert it to the day you bought it.

If your phone isn't rooted and you've confirmed using root checker already just uninstall Safestrap apk.

Basic Q: PingPong Root my AOE2 S6 Edge and flash custom ROM based on 5.1.1?

Hi,
This is a very basic question, but I haven't been able to find the answer in one place.
I have a new Galaxy S6 Edge G925A on AT&T, baseband version G925AUCU1AOE2. I don't want to take the OTA update because apparently then the bootloader will be locked and can't be rolled back. I'd like to root the phone and not lose any features but I'd also like to be able to flash a ROM based on the most current version of Android available (and continue to upgrade in the future). Right now I only know enough about rooting, bootloader, baseband, kernels, custom recovery, ROMs, Android, KNOX, radios, modems, fingerprint scanners, Samsung Pay . . . to be dangerous. Every search I've done over the past couple days seems to teach me something while also confusing me a little bit more.
What I'm wondering is - if I root my AOE2, am I then able to flash a custom ROM based on 5.1.1 (or later) versions of Android without losing any other features (Samsung Pay, fingerprint scanner, etc.) and without locking myself to a certain version of Android? If so, what steps would I have to take (e.g., 1) root, 2) install a custom recovery, 3) flash a later kernel, 4) flash ROM, etc.)? Thanks in advance, and sorry if this question is answered elsewhere already!

Simple answer is no.

So - if I want to have the latest version of Android possible on this phone does that mean I can't also be rooted (or be using a custom ROM)?

Correct. Since you are still on OE2, your choices are as follows:
1) root with ping pong and go to
A) custom 5.0.2 ROM, keeping root
B) stock OF3, keeping oe2 bootloader and recovery via odin/flashfire, keeping root
C) stock OF4, keeping oe2 bootloader and recovery via odin/flashfire, keeping root
2) don't root, update to full stock OF3/OF4/5.1.1 (I forget the build number), lose the ability to root, lose the ability to roll back. Possible that this will never be rooted.

Dang. Thanks for confirming. They're sons of *****es. Why do they need both an early contract termination fee AND to lock down the phones so you can't get full enjoyment out of the hardware you're committing to a 2-year contract to get?

My phone is reporting the following
Android Version = 5.1.1
Baseband version = G920AUCU1AOE2
Though my phone has the 5.1.1 update but my baseband didn't get updated does still mean I'm SOL for a future root?

[help?] Updating from AOE2 to 6.0.1 PC2?

How can I upgrade from Android 5.0.2 AOE2?
I tried to search and couldn't find anything that made me confident enough.
It sounds like I would need to flash back to stock (am on custom ROM) and then flash the updates one at the time using Odin or adb. I'm not sure what update to start with and/or if I can do it in a way that maintains root access.
These are the only two threads I found but neither mention coming from AOE2 or custom ROMs.

I would start with the first link you have odin to oj7. If you are on at&t you can do updates on the network after that to get to marshmallow.

I just updated from rooted 5.02 OE2 all the way to 6.0.1. Yes, you have to flash back to stock and then you can update OTA to 5.1.1 then to 6.0.1. I used the odin files here to flash to stock.

//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

Help unbricking NJ5 trying to downgrade to NC2

I have a n500a, was running android 4.4.4 NJ5. I was trying to upgrade to android 5.0, and most places lead me to installing safestrap and busybox, which doesn't work on NJ5, so I was trying to downgrade to NC2. Now my phone won't start up. I CAN however get it to download mode. So my questions are
Where could I find a clean / stock NJ5 / NC2 firmware / rom? Most links I see are dead :/
Can I install NC2 or even android 5.0 directly by odin? OR do I need to finnish the downgrade / upgrade process? Most threads direct you to go to NC2 -> install safestrap / busybox -> install 5.0 through safestrap
Do I still need to worry about NOX at this point? It's currently 0x0, but I don't know if tripping it is something I need to worry about at this point, as it's far out of warranty.

Here's a post for NL1 which may help unbrick: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/kitkat-4-4-4-n900aucudnl1-odin-tars-t2999317

thanks, popped those into odin and the phone is in a working state. Now to try an get it to rooted lollipop
the question now is where can I get NC2 / the tools to get busybox and safestrap and upgrade to 5.0. Link rot sucks

Unfortunately, I can't really help you further since I never had the n900a.
Did you try searching the general threads? There may be something obscure in there.
