3. Power off phone and start on "downloading mode"
Vol down+home+power -->> confirm vol up -->> green android robo and "Downloading" description
4. Launch Odin with admin right etc,
5. Connect phone to Pc via usb. "added" and port in Odin is ok.

Restoring stock ROM to S5

Hi,
I'm selling my S5 so I need to remove the ROM that installed from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
and return to stock. Can someone point me to instructions for this process?
Thanks.

Stock ROM for the model number of your device
Odin3 tool.
Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver.
Charged rooted or non rooted Samsung galaxy S5.
USB cable and Windows PC
Backup your important data before flashing, in case of this process corrupt your data. [important in downgrading] Download stock ROM file (make sure you download the right FW for your phone's model number) from SamMobile or Samsung-Updates and unzip it only one time (the extracted firmware file has *.tar.md5 extension). Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver (Link below) Download Odin3 tool and unzip it (Link below) Close Samsung Kies and disconnect any device connected to USB ports of your computer.
Run "Odin3" as administrator.
Click on PDA button (AP if you are using Odin3 v3.09) and navigate to the *.tar or *.tar.md5 firmware file (it will take a few second to check firmware file, if you are using Odin3 v3.09).
- If the Zip file contains more than one *.tar file then they will be labeled with PDA, Phone and CSC. Put them in the corresponding section of Odin3
Shut down your device and make sure it's completely off. Put your device into download mode by pressing and holding (Volume Down + Home + Power) buttons then Press Volume up to continue.
Connect your galaxy S5 to PC using USB cable and wait until you get a sign in Odin (ID:COM section) and "Added" in message box. Make sure re-partition is NOT MARKED[very important]
Click Start and wait a few minutes until you see "RESET" or "PASS!".
If your device stuck in bootloop, factory reset it from recovery mode.
Instructions were taken from wolfdroid, i followed them an installed the stock rom on my s5.

Can not install any other modem

I want to install any other modem but my note 3 does not let me do anything
I use Tweaked S5 Base Note 4 Style rom Android 4.4.2 Version 7.0
Modem is: XXUENB1
Build: KOT49H.G900SKSU1ANI1
I disabled already the reactivation protection, USB DEBUGGING is also enabled.
I use the original USB cable from note 3. KIES is not installed on my pc and I used ODIN as admin.
I got another modem, put my phone into download mode connected of course, and used another modem and put it into (CP/PHONE) in Odin3.10
It says, the flash is successfull but after reboot, the MODEM is NOT changed :"(
I tried several other modems but I can not seem to install any modem! HELP!
I tried to install stock rom via ODIN but it failed as the modem installation...
PS: Safestrap is on my device, my device is of course rooted and I also use PHILZ TOUCH 6

Did you follow this steps?:
1. Download the modem.
2. Unpack the rar file to anywhere on your computer, as long as you can access it.
3. Open up the included Odin and uncheck auto reboot.
4. Click on phone/CP, select the modem.bin, and press start.
5. When you finish the flash, manually reboot your phone back to download mode and flash the modem.bin one more time.
6. When the flash is complete, reboot and you're finished!

It's because you did not power off your phone, or remove the battery before doing the button combo for download mode, let it stay off for 15 seconds then try again.
Should work fine.

Okay, I will try to do the dual Flash and tell you if it works!

Unbrick S7 Snapdragon After trying to go back to stock VIA Odin

Behold The Thread to solve your S7 Snapdragon Issue
- I have dealt with Odin errors for the last few days. Name as many as you can I've probably had it. The main issue is when people try to unroot by flashing stock ROM the phone will lock up (Soft Brick). This has happened to me many times in many different scenarios. Whether it presents itself with an eMMC error or any Fused Binary problems etc.
- Heres how to fix it.
- Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links yet but as soon as I can I will add them.
- Dowload your Stock firmware for your device.
- Download the S7 Snapdragon Root .tar for snapdragon
- Download the latest Odin Prince Comsy here
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Put your S7 into download mode by holding: Home + Power + Volume Down until you see a warning. Accept it.
2.) Go to the Modified Prince Cosmy Odin and open it up
3.) Grab the s7 Qualcomm .tar file from the root file you downloaded earlier and put it in the AP slot on Odin.
4.) Go to options on Odin and select: Nand Erase All, RE-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. reset time.
5.) Plug your S7 into your computer using a charging cord that is data transfer capable.
6.) After you see a blue or green box in Odin and see your device has been connected hit start
7.) After flashing the .tar root image. Put your phone back into download mode just like before and go back to Odin. (Make sure not to extract the zips inside the extracted USA ROOT zip.)
8.) Hit reset on Odin and go to options and select: Nand erase All, RE-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. reset time.
9.) Fill in BL, AP, CP, and CSC with your phones stock firmware and then select start. If all goes well it should restore your S7 to working condition.
