Hello, im trying to unroot my phone and return it to stock firmware to update it to 4.3, ofc then ill have to root it again, the basic need for me to update is that im trying to install my apps on sd card, which firmware 4.2.2 that i have does not allow. But i cant find my stock firmware on the websites, the version i got is I9500XXUAMDK. Bought my S4 in Saudi arabia, so anyone has a link to that firmware? or should i flash an updated firmware directly? im trying to unroot guide over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 so what exactly should i do? e.e
Note: does the 4.2.3 update have options to install to SD? if it does i pretty much prefer it to 4.3 since i hear it has some problems.
HERE we go. You only have to flash this firmware for unroot it if this is the correct firmware for ur phone
thanks! But a question arises xD is this 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 or 4.3?

hi guys
I have the Canadian (rogers) version of the S4, i337m.
Ever since I got the OTA update to firmware NC1, I have been trying to find a way to get back to STOCK MK6 firmware.
I have been searching for a clear method, but cant find out the exact process of doing it.
Can anybody help me?

Hello guys,
I have a note 3 n9005 model I decided to update my firmware with the recently released Polish lolipop firmware using odin and everything was great, after 3 days of use it appears that lollipop is a bit laggy and sometimes hangs for a while that's why I want downgrade to Kitkat, also i would like to mention that I have updated the bootloader while flashing by ticking the update bootloader button in odin.
Now what's the possibilities of using odin again to downgrade to official Kitkat using one package file?
If not possible what if I have flashed a separate bootloader file then used odin with official kitkat is that even possible ?
Furthermore, I was thinking about rooting my Lollipop then flash a custom recovery and then wipe data and cache to install a flashable custom Kitkat.
My request is that I need someone experienced to confirm with me on what should I do without risking bricking my N3, I'm going to die with it if it's bricked
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Where is the great supporters ? Not even a one reply :crying:

Lolipop is rootable search the forum, and this not my question actually I'm asking what if i rooted it then installed a cwm based recovery to flash Kitkat, will this work or I'm risking for a brick or bootloop or any other problems?
If you have the right answer please answer it with prove, if not this thread is not for bored ppl that don't provide any fruitful feedback.

Hi guys, i am doing this for a friend, hes on offial 5.0.1 LP accidentally updated it and he doesnt like it.
we need to root it and then downgrade Bootloader and Modem then flash a Stock based ROM yes !?
i have fetched latest KK modem/BL from a thread on xda , one with WiFi fix supposedly.. and the latest KK BL as well.
but i cant find a Flashable Stock KitKat Rom anywhere.. can someone help me with this please !?
and maybe link me to the stock Modem/BL as well.. cause i dont wanna brick his phone.
for now i have only Rooted it with AutoRoot.
You don't need to root it in order to be able to downgrade. You might even trip Knox in the process, so you're on the safer side if you don't do that. But as you have probably already done that, you could back EFS up using EFS Professional or terminal, just in case it gets corrupted during flashing.
I'm not completely sure about the downgrade process and what it takes not to brick your I9505, but you can find stock KitKat firmwares (flashable in Odin) here and here. There are some stock KitKat firmwares here as well, but some of them are offline. You can find some firmwares at SamMobile too, but you will probably need to pay to download from there.
Some pre-Lollipop modems can be found here, some more modems and bootloaders here.

Hello guys,
I have updated my G900F to 5.0 lollipop and after i saw that Kit Kat is way better i wanted to switch back to Kit Kat. When i tried to get it back to Kit Kat via Odin, it got stuck! It said Firmware upgrade problem. I solved the problem with adding PIT file i found on XDA forums. But since then i can't update OTA and can't update via Kies Please help me solve this problem. I guess it's a problem with PIT file i installed but without it i couldn't solve the problem with Firmware upgrade. After updating i also got a problem with camera sometimes failing, it starts and shows black screen. It can be solved with restart but after sometime the bug comes up again. Please help me, this is really annyoing and bugging me a lot
Why do you want to OTA if you want to stay on KK?
OTA will take you back to Lollipop
If you are rooted / custom recovery, you can not OTA

I know but ever since update i have this camera problem, and i wanted to update over kies cause it's the safest way to fix the problem. Or do you think it's not a software problem ?
