Flash with Odin or download the ota's.
I can't find the ota and tbh I'm not exactly sure what file I need to download

Download the file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388 and flash via Odin.
Would you happen to know if there is a zip file I can use to flash via my sd card I currently don't have a pc to flash with odin

I can't find any OI5 to PA1, but I did find an OF3 to PA1.
Can I flash OF3 to PA1 even though I'm on OI5

No the base need to be on OF3.

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

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:

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.

So i get an i537 locked on AT&T ion ebay by almost 100 bucks so i decided to buy it instead an S3 because for the price was a better choice , thinking that i could unlock "free" but then i realized that i could do it but i had to have the zx3 box.... thing that i did'nt have and i am not going to buy it . So i had to buy the unlock code almost for 15 bucks on ebay with a link from a store of Spain, took me around 4 days to have it. The first thing that i wanted to do was root it, i hate bloatware, so i rooted it and leave the stock rom, yesterday i saw in gsmarena.com that it was getting Lollipop via OTA, so i had to restore it back in order to get it. Mine was running I537UCUCNH3 but i couldn't get the full firmware that is almost 1 gb or something like that so by mistake i get the I537UCUCNE3 to flash on odin.
It flash with no problems but then i get the problem that i didn't have the radio service, so i flashed the modem bin from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2689218, after that i get signal and check for the update and it begins to download, almost an hour and a half then it begins to install the update and reboot and when it was on 28% it turned off and reboot. Then it says firmware was not installed and checked for the update and it says that is up to date check in XX hours again. I checked the band version and was on UCUAMF1 but with the I537UCUCNE3 version so i think that i flash it wrong and may be in the process of the update as is does not match it failed the update.
Now i can't restore again the modem.bin because it fails so i need urgent help to restore it and the lollipop update

Flash the NE3 Odin package again and then flash the NH3 OTA update. Assuming that your radios are working you should get the OC6 update right away. Just be aware that currently there is no way to root OC6 and may never be, plus there is no way to downgrade back to a firmware that is rootable.
The issue you're running in to is that the updater checks all the files on the phone before installing the update. If all the files match what it thinks should be there then it will update just fine. If anything is changed, any system files, modems, or even if you've just rooted the update will fail to install as you've seen.

No i don't have the NH3 OTA i have the previous one and the post is very annoying and confusing for me, i have this one SGH-I537UCUCNE3_v4.4.2_ATT_ALL but now i can't get service as i mentioned now if i flash the modem.bin it fails i think that i bricked it.
And yes i kow that if something does not match on a system update it will fail, had the same sittuation on the HTC One m7 when it was going to lollipop update but i just flashed the correct firmware and it worked but with this one i am havig a hardtime, because has the baseband version unknown but i can't flash the modem.bin

Did you read through the [HOW-TO][GUIDE] Install Any i537 Firmware? It explains exactly how to install any firmware you want. I know why you're having problems flashing the OTA's, but it seems like you haven't read how to flash them.

yes i have read it, it flash with no problems but weird part is that yesterday it worked fine but when i got the signal fix it shows on system version I537UCUCNE3 but band version was on MF1 an not on NE3. I can't remember what exactly i did after lollipop update fail but now i can't get the modem.bin working. So i guess that something went wrong during flash yesterday that now i can't fix the signal

The signal fix flashes the MF1 modems, that is why your band version says MF1; you're actually using modems from a older firmware.
These are exactly the steps you need to follow:
Start over and flash the NE3 Odin package. It doesn't matter if you have a signal or not because you should have already downloaded the OTA files with your computer ahead of time.
Once you're on stock NE3 (without modifying the modem), flash the NH3 OTA. Instructions on how to do that are described in detail in the i537 Firmware Guide.
Once you're on stock NH3, flash the OC6 OTA file. Instructions are described in detail in the i537 Firmware Guide.
If you still don't have a signal after you're on OC6, then try the Modem fix, but it may not work.
Basically what you need to do is follow the instructions step by step in the section titled "NE3 to OC6".

So you can reflash the NE3 Odin package, that's good. I understand you don't have a baseband, but we need to make sure you can update your phone to NH3 and OC6 before we try to fix that. What exactly does your phone say when you try to flash the NH3 update? Maybe posting a photo would be easier.
Also check that the MD5 of the files you downloaded matches the MD5 posted in the i537 Firmware Thread. If the MD5's match then you have a good download, if they don't match then you have a corrupted download and need to redownload the files.

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???

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.

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?
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?
