I've had my G900A since October 2015, and it came with 5.1.1 preloaded.
I took the "unofficial" upgrade to PG3 Marshmallow.
Would I be able to downgrade to KK 4.4.4 from PG3 so I can root the device?
Got to OI5, now what?
So I was able to go down to OI5, and now I want to know if I am able to go from OI5 to OF3?

To be able to downgrade someone has to make an Odin tar.

No the lowest you can flash is OF2

Don't suppose you could help me locate a OF2 or OF3 ODIN file?

I don't know if there's any on XDA. But I guess you could ask someone to make it for you.

Hi all,
My phone is using G900AUCU2AND3. It has been rooted and I also removed a lot of bloatware with Titanium Backup. Because of this, OTAs are failing.
I would like to flash the stock rom G900AUCU2AND3 again, so I can do that. However, I haven't been able to find it.
I only found G900AUCU1ANCE.
If I flash that ROM with ODIN, since that I'm downgrading, will I run into any issues?
Thanks a lot for your help.
the AND3 software is not out. if you have to fix a hard brick, bootloop or want a fresh start, you will need to downgrade to the ANCE firmware, flashing via odin.

This file, flashed via odin, will downgrade you to stock NCE ( minus the bootloader). Once on NCE you can take the ota update to the latest firmware, NG3:

Thanks. I was planning to flash this:

Isn't that the same? Just to double check.

The file from sammobile includes the NCE bootloader. Since you already updated the bootloader to ND3 you are unable to downgrade the BL back to NCE, hence my file minus the NCE BL.

My gyro quit working and through the diagnostic where you dial *#0*# i get fail or no readings.
I'm running AllianceROM©v8 Lite but I need to roll back to stock. Do I just need to flash the stock 5.0 rom? Or do I need to roll back to KK and do it that way? Thanks in advance:good:

Download the nce downgrade file in the OP. And you'll be unrooted. Remember that ATT will most likely update you to 5.0 after they fix it or they will give you a phone with 5.0 on it most likely. if they replace it.

If they update you to 5.0 you won't be able to root. If they give you a replacement phone with 5.0 on it, you won't be able to root. There is no root for 5.0 right now.

Maybe a bad download? I've used it many times. Just put it in the ap slot using odin 3.09 and it should work. I'm not sure what SW rev check is.

If you want root, DO NOT DO THE OTA. If you don't care about root then ota will be ok. If you want root on 5.0 then use Muniz method in the op of that thread i posted to you.

Ahh, I'm bummed, the gyro stopped working after I downgraded, and now I can't get it to work. Looks like I'm going to have to send it in.
Someone could download the update and provide it for us?
If semeone can try this procedure, its help me a lot! I'm not on at&t network :/

I need update from stock OI5 to PA1.
Please somebody user from AT&T can upload the file.
Thanks!!!
Since there is no root for OI5, I can only download the OF3 to PA1 update file. Won't be very helpful to those of you already on OI5 though. Maybe someone on OI5 can try to log the update URL and download it directly.
Sorry guys. Figured I'd chime in since someone sent me a PM asking me to grab the OTA file.
Nobody have the OI5 to PA1 update???

Apparently, nobody currently on OI5 has even attempted to at least get the update URL. You don't need to be rooted to do that.

I don't have AT&T sim, i'm on Argentina.
I don't need the update.zip OI5 to PA1 to update my OI5 stock? or i can update with the ROM.zip on this first post without root?
I believed that the only way was to update.zip

The first post in this thread provides instructions for someone to get the update URL. They don't need to be rooted to do that.
You can't use the files in muniz's thread (I think you've commented in there also) because you need to be currently rooted to use them. I have a OF3 to PA1 update.zip file, but again, it's not useful to you since you're already on OI5 firmware.
Unfortunately, you're kind of stuck until someone can get the URL and download the OI5 to PA1 update.zip file.

Do you still need those files? I kept them around because screw of2 and others. If you still need, I will upload to something and post another reply.

Yeah, I still couldn't find any of those firmwares except the rooted one which will not work on mine, I need stock. It would be great if you could upload them.

I believe this is the ota version, so total stock.

Is this odin flashable? Or do you have to flash from recovery.
I think the first one is odin flashable, the second is through stock recovery.

I found an Odin file with OC4 but it turns out ATT bumped their Qfuse another level going from OC4 to OF2. Does anybody have any OF2 files?

There isn't any way to downgrade other than using Odin.
