Hi there guys, Ive bought a S5 a couple of months ago and now want install a different stock rom provided by Samsung which matches the country I live in. Now I have got the following setup:
Model phone: SM-G900F
Current installed baseband/Samsung Stock ROM: G900FXXU1ANG2
I want to install this Samsung Stock ROM: G900FXXU1ANH6
Is it possible for me to do this (with Odin) or how else? Without or with ROOT acces without
voiding warranty or the KNOX counter?
I hope somebody can help me with this issue, I have rooted devices before but the S5 and KNOX are totally new for me,
thanks in advance!!

Don`t act offended mate, these rules apply to all users and its not a personal thing. Sure you can flash a stock rom with Odin 3.09 without root and it shouldn`t cause any issue as long as the rom is compatible with your device.

Thanks for your reply, I was more surprised because I've only started this topic and asked one time in an other thread before I posted this topic. Now it's more clear to me, thanks for your suggestion. I'm using a Macbook so Odin wont be an option for me I think. I've tried to find an option in Kies to choose which firmware to install, but no luck.

Look here for tuts. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=macbook+and+Odin. JOdin should work on a Mac i think.
-Edit- This method is not recommended for large files it seems according to OP (Adam Outler).

It depends on the firmware you are using to flash. Some firmware can be flashed with Odin, some firmware can only be flashed with Kies.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' > enter XXU into the CSC textbox and tap Go button to search. You will see a list of stock firmware that are compatible with your device. The one with the brighter Kies icon can be flashed with Kies. The one with the dimmed Kies icon can only be flash with Odin.

Hi everybody!
As you can see, I'm new to this forum. I apologize in advance if my english is bad, I'll try to explain my doubt.
My question is the following:
I have this tab from a week or so, already rooted, with CWM and Mobile Odin. The stock firmware is TGY, so it's of Hong Kong.
Is it possible to flash with Mobile Odin a european firmware on the device or this will cause problems to the tab?
I've searched for this in the forum already, maybe I have not used the right key words, but I haven't found the answer to this.
Thanks in advance!

Just read my sticky thread -> post 5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21930173 there is also a short history
But basically you can flash every official released Firmware for this device.

Ok, so from what I've read, if I want to completely change the csc I have to flash the firmware with the csc I want and then enter recovery after a factory reset. It should automatically starts an update and it will ask me to confirm to change the csc into the one of the flashed firmware.
If I don't mind of Kies (which is my case ), I just flash the european firmware over the one I have now. I've read that you wanted to change your csc in ATO and at the beginning you simply flashed the austrian firmware over the TGY one and apart for the Kies autentication problem, you didn't have any other troubles.
Correct me if I am wrong, anyway I've thanked you for your reply. I ask you this because I know the basics for flashing and so, but I still consider me a newbie and I don't want to brick my beloved device with wrong country firmwares.

You dont brick your device if you flash only a official Firmware right and yes there will be not any other troubles if you flash the Firmware like in the guide explained
Happy flashing ^^

Perfect, that was I wanted to know. Luckily I have already experience with mobile odin since I use it on my Note, and I use only official firmware.

Letter I sent to Samsung - of course not helped me:
Hello,
Yesterday was the worst day for me.
i purchased a Samsung galaxy S4 !9505 from i private store.
when i loaded the device for the first time, i got a push update to MH8 (with the knox)
i didn't know whats ahead of me...
yesterday i tried to upgrade the version to a rooted one.
and suddenly, the wifi and the sound in the device stopped working, plus i had problems with incoming/outgoing calls.
finally, i could solve the problem with a modded version of MH8 Pre-rooted, truthfully i don't care about the root anyway.
i just wanted to check what is what, because i'm new to this whole thing.
but now, every time i boot my device, i'm afraid something will happen to it.
besides that, i understand that i can't upgrade any future version anymore, which means for me that my device is half dead already.
i'm asking you, with kind regards, help me restore my phone to its original form, so i could enjoy your updates, and google's as well
my phone is in "knox warrany void: 0x1" state as for now.

There has been a solution to the problem?
Or I got stuck and I can't upgrade?
I'm from Israel, so if you need to flash a modem or something, just so you know
Sorry my english!
Thank you!
somebody please?
Hello,
There are serveral threads about this point, please read around...
You can upgrade to new roms with the ODIN/flashable roms available, or you can set the device status to "official" to receive OTA updates.
The only thing you can't change is the knox 0x01 which is suspected to be an eFuse and therefore non-reversible (nothing 100% confirmed so far)
for questions on how to flash each thing (ODIN packages recovery flashable zips and so on) refer to the specific thread
good luck

If I as usual I upgrade to version 4.3 via Odin official from sammobile (when it is released), the wifi and sound work properly?
And how do I set the device status to "official" to receive OTA updates on my current version?

Hi mate - As it is for know your KNOX warrenty is void....What this means is you will not be able to use the KNOX software/locker/container (whatever you wanna call it).........for the moment this is indeffinate until one of the brilliant minds in xda figures out a way to re-set it (not gonna be easy or anytime soon).....However, your device is not lost.....all you need to do if flash any stock firmware that has the new KNOX bootloader via odin. You can find stock firmware ( you just need to look for it )...Sammobile would be a good place to start maybe? Once you have loaded the firmware you should be able to recieve OTA updates but WILL NOT be able to use KNOX stuff.
Hope this clears some stuff up for you!
EDIT - Even if you have issues via OTA you can always flash the latest firmware via odin!

Yes you can install custom roms - but when you have a custom ROM then you are very unlikely to get OTA updates....which is why odin is a great tool!
I suggest you do ALOT more reading up on this mate.....people will only help so much....This is why xda is what it is....a place for people to learn and READ READ READ

I love this forum! I just do not seem much
Before I flash the MH8 Pre-rooted, i flash customs rom (almost everyone), and all was sound and Wifi, know why?
That's why I'm asking and I'm not sure.
For example, I flash the rom costum MH8, and worked (problems Sound-WIFI), and Pre-Rooted worked, why is that?
Thank you!

Could have been kernel related....I am not entirely sure....but this is wavering from your initial opening post - Knox Problem - I Can't upgrade rom - which has been answered.......I would suggest sticking to what you know works and as I said READ ALOT because you are not the only person who has had wifi and sound issues:good:......I believe your initial issue has been answered as much as it can now. Good luck in you search for answers:fingers-crossed:
Last one from me....have you also tried to flash a new modem to fix wifi???? Try looking HERE also!
Rom and LTE modem should be the same build number. GSM modem is region dependent and can be anything you like.

One bit of advice... please work on your English sentence structure (yes it is very bad )
It is an annoying challenge to understand you without repeatedly rereading what your wrote.
Now unto more important things:
1. Please fix your initial problem by returning to stock before you ask more questions.
2. Let us know if everything is working on stock and your device is back to stock form and function.
3. Read the howto documents on this site before you proceed to ask any further questions related to rooting or rom flashing.

Roll back to stock Firmware ? or roll back the stock firmware aka Downgrade?
If it's downgrade, you cannot.
To go back to stock make sure you have the correct USB drivers installed and KIES should work for you. Or alternatively grab your stock ROM from sammobile and flash it via ODIN.
Just seen you had installed the drivers, Check you have the right version of KIES installed, as there are two options from samsungs site. Or just try ODIN

If using Stock ROM and you haven't already rooted previously then No. If you have rooted then depending on your chosen root method, it may have been tripped.

Kies 3 restore doesn't work.... It's incompatible with the new bootloaders... Wish people would stop giving oout this USELESS information...
If you were on any of the N**(NB4) roms ie Kitkat, you can't go back to the older jellybean roms ie m**(MJ7).
You will have this problem. Just reflash a kitkat rom onto your Note 3 and you'll be fine...

Actually, as he has installed MJ7 on his phone Kies no longer works... My "opinion" is fact...
If you can't stand being corrected because you're wrong then mate, you have a problem... Maybe you should start to read the thread before replying with pointless and useless information....
