Hello all, i need some help returning to stock as i'm out of ideas.
I was using prerooted 4.3 firmware without KNOX files, then i flashed Carbon Rom based on CM. It is not working (as you are not able to remove apps) so i decided to go back to stock (standard stock with KNOX) So i downloaded latest firmware from sammobile and flashed it using Odin.
Just after flash phone reboots than tries to run recovery (and says SECURE FAIL: Recovery). Then it reboots and system is up and running but there is no WiFi,
How can i go to clean and not modified stock firmaware?
What firmware you exactly flash on your device? Same version that comes out the box?

I have an i9505 running stock Android 4.2.2 (JDQ39.I9505XXUBMF8) - rooted using CF-Auto-Root (jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 IIRC). My battery life is poor, and I was hoping that a ROM upgrade to 4.3 would help, but haven't flashed a ROM for a while. I was wondering if anyone could answer the following:
- First of all I guess I need to flash a recovery using Odin? Would Philz Touch Recovery be the best option, or is there a basic, more reliable Recovery mod?
- If I want to retain warranty, would it be best to flash a non-Knox ROM such as Omega v18? (which I believe leaves the original bootloader intact?)
- How can I tell whether or not I need to flash a new modem?
Is there anything else I should be careful/aware of when flashing the Recovery mod and ROM?

1. You can use either Philz recovery or twrp
2. If you want to retain a warranty You need to flash this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23050663588004454 (Its a 4.2.2 pre-rooted rom) then download Triangle away to reset the binary and sent it for repair incase.
3. If you flash a Custom rom Omega, Golden, Echo, etc. you need to Flash a new 4.3 based modem to fix any data drop issues.
4. Never flash any 4.3 stock firmware from samsung via odin. =Newbootloader = Knox void warranty

Thanks for that. Do I flash the modem using Odin AFTER flashing the new ROM, or before flashing the ROM?

Actually it doesnt matter or you can just flash the modem and then the custom rom you want (Make sure to full wipe when your flashing any rom via recovery )and here's a modem http://www.mediafire.com/download/48r0rgqv25s8968/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.rar, download then extract and flash it via odin by selecting phone Make sure to turn of your phone manually before flashing via odin. Once your done check if your baseband version change into MKE . Have a nice day.
Hi.
I have a telecom new zealand i9505. I attempted to install a custom recovery but I'm not sure if it worked. I do have a recovery mode I can boot into but it doesn't have many options and I assume it's the stock Samsung recovery. My phone is currently running Android 4.3 but doesn't autoupdate bc I now have a modified the recovery.
Can someone suggest either
1. What stock rom should I flash to. Do I have to flash to another stock 4.3 rom using odin or can I flash a 4.4.3 rom? If I flash using odin can I use the autoupdate feature under settings?
2. Is there a fast stable rom that has built in auto updates without having to worry about flashing and backing up etc.
The reason I want to update is.
1. The phone is sometimes sluggish.
2. There was a Google update that caused a bug whereas every time I pah home button it askes which home screen and it will not remember the defaults and the ONLY solution was to uninstall the updates which means I don't have Google now anymore.
Thanks

Hi all,
I want to install ROM by _alexndr on a new G900F. I want to keep KNOX 0x0, so I need root to flash this ROM using flashfire.
However, the device came with android 5 when I bought it, so towelroot does not work. If I understood correctly, I have to flash stock 4.4.2 firmware (where do I get it? which tool to use for flashing? Just flash, or other things to take care of?), then I can use towelroot and flash ROM by _alexndr with flashfire. Did I miss anything important?
Get the ROM and ODIN the flashing tool from sammobile .com firmware section
Instructions under the download (Free account might be needed to download the ROM)
Can I just flash the old 4.4.2 firmware over the current 5.0 firmware, or do I have to consider something else?
I've flashed KK over LP before, and first boot didn't boot, flashed it again the same way, and it booted fine
Might need to factory reset before/after flashing if you have problems
Hello there. So, this is my actual situation: I have a galaxy s4 on stock Lollipop. Due a few issues, I decided to try to downgrade to kitkat I flashed via Odin a stock kk fw, but unluckyly I Haven't considered Knox bootloader, and now the phone stucks in bootloop. I tried to enter recovery, but it doesn't even work.
Is there any way to save it? Actually, I'm downloading stock lollipop firmware to flash it from Odin. Could it work ?
Thanks everyone will give help
Yes, flash the latest stock ROM in Odin to get the phone back to stock.
Hi, I have an N910T running update LineageOS (TWRP), and I a couple of apps recently won't run on a rooted phone. So I have tried to restore the stock ROM. I downloaded from Sammobile (tried 4.4 and 5.1) but neither will load using ODIN (log shows failure before any .img files loaded).
Can anyone suggest how to go back in time on this phone?
Thanks for any help!

An updated bootloader, as I assume you already have, will NOT let you flash an older version of the stock rom.
When you have that (updated bootloader) , for security reasons you are no longer able to roll so much back as 4.4 or 5.1 roms.
Only 6(MM) and up roms are allowed anymore.
So , look here for the latest stock rom for your phone/model and flash it using odin
