Guys, what's the problem?
when I was on 4.2.2 I successfully flashed (from here, 9505 with pit. Just wipe data, cache, dalvik cache...)
Germany DBT (October 2013) (firmware with Enforcing SELinux. SECURED BOOTLOADER WILL BE FLASHED, NO DOWNGRADE)
PDA: I9505XXUEMJ5
CSC: I9505OXAEMJ5
MODEM: I9505XXUEMJ5
Version 4.3
firmware and am happy using it right now. 2 yellow text lines on every boot doesn't change anything...
Now am running the same firmware with thisROM (Very complicated to install, but its very very very fast and smooth
P.S. If you have issues with ROOT and CWM/recovery menu - reply (this) my comment and explain what's wrong

Well... First read everything
Try to install CWM or philz touch recovery meniu. Then when you there, format everything including data, system etc... But don't format SD card, becouse it doesn't change anything.... than try to flash your phone via odin using 3.09 version (I used it - I succeed) using pit file also from HERE (at the bottom pit files, odin, everything you need to download...)
Talking about format data, system etc... am not sure if it not brick your phone, becouse I never tryed, but therefore Odin installs everything for you, so... Need experienced XDAers to appear in this thread and confirm if it's ok...

[Q] KitKAt GPe ROM - Unstable cell connection

Hi,
I'm running Jamal2367's 4.4 KitKat v3.0 on my S4.
(i9505, UK LTE variant [3 UK Model] - Baseband I9505XXUBMEA)
When i first boot the ROM, everything is fin apart from the signal, if i go into settings and manually choose (3 UK) as my operator, it connects without issues for around half an hour and then cuts off. Again, I can repeat the manual selection to get it to connect for a while before it cuts out for a second time... This continues in an infinite loop as far as I can tell.
I'm wondering whether flashing a different baseband to my phone will help solve this issue, or whether it's a ROM/Kernel based issue (Running Faux123's kernel (jgedlte-faux123-GE-KK44-014m_r2). It works fine on Jamal2367's 4.3 v2.0 ROM as i was running that previously.
Thanks in advance
Sly.

I'm using this room too... Until now I don't having no problem. Connection stable, no reboots 'till now, good battery. I'm gonna use for more few hours to see if have some bug. I'm using MJ5 modem.

Literally having the exact same issue as you. Only difference is I'm 3 Ireland. And this is the main reason I joined this forum, to be able to pass this feedback on to Jamal.
I was also using his 4.3 roms previously and have never had this issue before.
If flashing a different baseband will work, is that something that needs to be done via Odin or can it done via a custom recovery like Philz Touch recovery?

I've heard flashing modems can result in the internal and external SD being formatted... :/ Is this just from doing it incorrectly or just how it has to work? Don't want to lose my nandroid of 4.3 just incase.
As of about 1 hour ago - Had a random reboot whilst the phone was idling
Edit - 19:52 (UK) Just flashed MJ5 modem and all seems fixed so far 3G is connected straight away at first boot (Just now) so fingers crossed it stays like this Thanks darknes4o! (I saw your post on the ROM forum and followed your lil guide )
Edit - 21:17 (UK) - Flashed a newer baseband (I9505XXUEMKE) and is working wonderfully No reboots yet and data is running perfect at full speeds AndroidAndre, Try this... It works for me!!

But since you have break the knox you are not able to downgrade your phone i think

i also cant able to go back......****in chinease ver.... if i instal 4.4kik. through ozcan rom .... then phone's imei no. changes to null....:crying::crying:

facing the same problem here .but finally
Hi friends i flashed the CHN version lollipop after flashed that thing i can't go back to kitkat.but finally i flashed the 'philztouch recovery' via odin and rerooted and flashed the 5.0.1 gapps its done.but how can i go back to kitkat pls tell me any one?

There doesn't seem to be any fix for this. Some users posted that they managed to change to another rom, but they lost the IMEI and baseband. And they don't seem to be able to restore any of them. Even with a backup.

Probably not possible because you also can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3, so it makes sense that you can't downgrade.

R U sure
Folks,
I have the same problem.....
Tried to rollback to 4.4.2 and failed.... And I don't want to root>>>>
Did anyone tried some powefull tool to force the downgrade?

install cyanogenmod

i had the same prb with my s4 i9500 black edition. what i did is that i installed the official releas of android 5.0.1 (that you can find it in XDA forum) with odin than i downgrad it to 4.4.2 and the phone works.
I hope that it will work for you too

Is there a guide available to downgrade the 19505 from Lollipop ( at the moment i am using Official Cyanogenmod 12 5.0.2) to Kitkat ? I miss the features of the Xposed Modules very badly. In my opinion it is a disadvantage to upgrade your phone to Lollipop .

[Q] gt-i9507 soft brick help

hi i bricked my gt-i9507 hk/aus variant buy accidently flashing a incorect pit file and now i cant install stock roms. i can get into download mode and can still flash twrp as a recovery but wont flash stock keeps failing and ive tried all versions for my phone available in stock, ive managed to flash cm12 final but im guessing efs is corrupted because not displaying imei now is null any help would be greatly appreciated

Similar
Hi all, have been having similar problems. GT-i9507 is soft bricked, but cannot escape bootloop even after wiping data, cache, and deldalvik cache with Philz Touch 6. Bricked after trying to flash wicked rom, have tried imperial as well since, both are i9505 roms, but apparently other users had had luck with them on the i9507? In any case, I can't see why I wouldn't be able to wipe the thing and boot up with the stock kernel, so I am currently grabbing a i9507 kernel and will get back with results tomorrow (long DL).
I am grabbing this kernel: pr31.rapidgator.net//?r=download/index&session_id=2oZ1mbKDmSSIDxiRcLmdXx1IQGO8CdPI
Samsung also released the i9507 kernel open source somewhere here: opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=i9507
Might be worth looking into. Will also probably try to flash cyanogen from: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx
because there have been reports of that working, and there is an explicit i9507 release on their site.
---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------
In regards to previous post, just flashed cyanogen from the supplied link (it's an https, would have linked it properly, but I need 10 posts first), and currently booted first time. Looks promising, but still doesn't mean that I can have the same level of dank kernel as i9505 users.
---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------
Might be better off grabbing the stock i9507 here:

I dont own that device, but i thing this would work:
Flash latest 6.0 firmware with samsung smart swich (PC), enable oem unlock in settings, flash twrp for 6.0 with latest odin, do a factory reset and a full wipe (except external sd an android secure). Then download latest 5.1 firmware for your device an flash it with odin (it will take some time).

You are stuck on Marshmallow

Hai bro,,,
u try this one after flashing offical firmware simply reboot your device into recovery mode by pressing Power + Home + Volume UP and do a wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partitions then reboot your device, it will start properly and all problems are now solved,,,,,

With the J500H, Samsung decided to lock the bootloader, meaning you can't downgrade. J500h seems to be the only locked device. Unless someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader then you are stuck on 6.0.1.

You can't downgrade anymore. I have J500H too. Im using Custom ROM right now.
More info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/warning-flash-marshmallow-updates-t3500396

There is no solution.

update: after spending days of searching from google, i found a 5.1.1 firmware that is compatible with my 6.0.1 firmware since they have nearly similar baseband versions(J500HXWU1APE5 for the lolipop and J500HXWU1BPG1 for marshmallow). so now i can upgrade and downgrade the phone's firmware with ease

please, help me.

u can show me. how to flash with odin (

Firmware downgrade Samsung J500H from MarshMallow with the second loader to LP.
Those who are faced with the inability to roll back to version 5.1.1 are uncomfortable with using their phone.
We need to either use the Philippine firmware or install a custom firmware Belousova.
I found an acceptable way to flash my phone with a stock firmware.
For rollback, we need a four-file stock firmware J500HXXU1APA5 or J500HXXS1APE1.
File BL with the second loader BL_J500HXXU1APA5_CL958143_QB8363487_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar or BL_J500HXXS1APE1_CL1011281_QB9453563_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar .
Odin.exe.

i just flashed a stock LP firmware that has the same region on my stock MM firmware(MBC) and everything worked fine
idk abt the others who updated on samsung updates(which locks the bootloader), since i updated it manually through odin in the first place

also this is my used firmwares:
5.1.1: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__J5__/zvs5/MBC/J500HXWU1APE5/J500HMBC1APE5/
6.0.1: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__J5__/4u11/MBC/J500HXWU1BPG1/J500HMBC1BPG1/

First update to MM have the some botloader like LP. But next update have other bootloader and you can't boot LP with odin to your telephon.
10:32 And some more - Philippines firmware LP 5.1.1 have second bootloader. You can downgrade from last update MM to LP 5.1.1 very easy.

I found how I can help for you.
You may download firmware from here :"goo.gl/Yk1Byz" and unzip and flash in odin this firmware.
Then if some hardware not working you may download firmware for your region from here:"goo.gl/SdcwhA"
and unzip repeat the flash with odin but with one file firmware.
And If you don't update your telephon to MM you can flash telephon using only this stock firmware. Save it. First file you can delete.
I am sorry - in first step you may set BL for APE1 file from my blog . It have second bootloader for firmware.
