I updated my galaxy s4 i9500 to 5.0.1 using odin. My phone was working well when I saw that i am having no more root access So i rooted my device. But rooting on 5.0.1 was no use. Most of the application's were not compatible with 5.0.1. So i flashed xposed framework and was dumb enough to read the full instructions. After flashing my phone was soft brick. So i went to the forum again and saw the instructions that thr version is not for Touchwiz. So i glashed cm11 and it worked my phone was working again but i noticed that it's been a while and my network signals are not appearing. I thought that the zip file would be corrupted so i flashed ozcan rom. But no success. Then i opened my settings and saw that imei was "Null/Null". And lastly /device/data folder is empty. Would be great if anyone will help.
1. Flash again the lollipop version.
2. Then root it using cf root.
3. Problem solved
ps maybe you should also do a factory reset, but backup first.

Hi everyone.
I have 4.4.2 installed manually and now i want to get back the stock rom 4.2.2 because of a big touchscreen problem.
With flash tool, it always stopps at 15% so i have to flash rom with custom recovery.
The device is now unrooted, so i need a method to root KitKat. I tried already with iroot, vroot, kingo root, super one click root but none of them worked.
I need your help, thanks.
Have you tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 cause as far as I know there's no root for 4.4.2 yet

I have a question,
About My phone, Before installing Kitkat:
D802 İnternational (Turkey)
after installed Kitkat, a vodafone amblem started to appear every time the phone i turned the phone.
What does it mean?
Which stock firmware, i have to install?
Thanks
there is a link in the OP of that thread leading to 4.2.2 firmwares. Look it up, there is one for Turkish d802 too http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Turkey/
Just check whether you have 16GB or 32GB version
Root for 4.4.2 is possible - if you flash the stock ROM as a zip file in custom recovery from 4.2.2 (which will be overwritten after the flash)
then you can directly flash the supersu zip:
1. boot into 4.2.2 custom ROM
2. install 4.4.2 zip and don't reboot
3. install supersu zip - don't reboot
4. wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache - then reboot
For zips you can use the forum-search function
There's also a custom boot-partition which enables to stay on the old custom recovery, but that's only made for B-Devices...

Thank you so much
Finally SOLVED!
After you told that i can not root 4.4.2, i completely focused on flash tool with the help of your link.
Finally after 5 days, using the phone with mouse, now i can use the touchscreen again.
Thank you so much again
Great, glad I could help
[/INDENT]Yesterday I rooted my Verizon Galaxy Note III using the Towelroot method and everything was working. I installed SuperSU and all of the other works. Little did I know I went and installed CWM and soft bricked my device. I was able to follow steps given to me in a previous thread but the download links for the OTA 4.4.2 update were taking way too long. So I went and downloaded the 4.4.3 links and they downloaded in a fraction of the time. So I continued following the steps that were given except the file I downloaded is an .MD5 file and not a .PIT . So I guess this is two questions in one. 1. Is it ok for me to move up a version? 2. How do I use the MD5 in ODIN. If someone can give me a few pointers that would be great. Thanks so much. :cyclops:

4.4.3 is not available for the Note 3 and it will not work. Once you're on the OTA version of 4.4.2 you can not downgrade since you're on the NC4 bootloader. You'll have to enter download mode and flash the stock NC4 Tar file that you can find HERE. You have to put the .md5 file in the AP slot. Patience Grasshopper...

Buddy we cant install Custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP in our devices because out Bootloaders are locked, so never try it again...
The solution is to install the latest Safestrap v3.72 for Kitkat currently which is safe...
4.4.3 is still under testing for Note 3 and will be launched in future...currently the latest version for our device is 4.4.2,so no matter what dont try to install newer version which are not yet launched for Verizon Note 3...
Please follow this thread to flash in ODIN if you have bricked your device...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757
Make sure you download the NC4 Stock ROM only...
Thanks!!!

Thanks so much! Do you mind taking a look at my "I think I broke my phone thread?"
Hello. Today I installed on my notes 3 SM-N9005 lollipop 5.0 version Poland but I found them a few problems: the first is that the vibration of the keyboard does not work. I found two of the slowdowns in the task manager. Now if I want to return to kitkat I can do fleshando firmware via Odin? ??
+1
I asked the same question with no accurate answer, i found a thread on how to downgrade from leaked ver. Of lolipop and not the official one and i won't risk trying this method, what I'm asking for is it possible to downgrade to official kitkat using odin specially that i have ticked update bootloader button when i flashed official Lolipop.
Will this work or we are risking our mobiles for a brick?
Appreciate if someone answered us with a proven record.
Regards,
however I have seen videos on youtube that have made the downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 fleshando only the firmaware dacendo and then wipe data / cache. I think the same procedure also applies to switch lollipop kitkat.
It's safe to downgrade using odin. I did it myself from the leaked and the official release (both of them with the bootloader updated). In case odin complains about size just check my last posts and use the PIT file I provided.
Sent from my SM-N9005
Hi,
I have downgraded from the Polish Lollipop without using a PIT file - successfully. You will need to carry out a data wipe and factory reset, but it worked fine.
I couldn't... flashing ENC2 with Odin gave me size error, flashing with PIT solved that, but my IMEI and Baseband were gone. I gave up at that point, flashed Lolipop again and am back to normal now.

Download N9005XXUGNK2 from sammobile and flash with odin, after the flash complete do a factory reset via recovery or your phone wont boot and will be stucked in samsung logo
My S4 GT-I9500 was upgraded to lollipop 5.0.1 by the service centre guys and it's not supported by my official android policy.
So after googling a lot i found out a you tube vdo for downgrading lollipop 5.0 to kitkat 4.4.2 on S5 and as shown i did the exact steps i.e. downloaded firware from SAMFIRM & used ODIn to flash it and the entire process went fine, no errors.
But after booting up there is no mobile network connectivity and IMEI number is unknown , IMEI SV is unknown.
Is it possible to make the phone working again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello sumanjit,
I faced this problem today! i was on Lollipop and then tried to downgrade it to Kitkat but that erased my IMEI number. To get it back I again flashed the stock 5.0.1 Firmware. And for downgrading it have a look at this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9500-easy-to-downgrade-official-t3036258 . You need to be rooted on 5.0.1 with a custom recovery.
All the best!

I had Philz Touch recovery. In it select- Wipe data reset.
Then you will be asked to - 1) wipe data reset
2) wipe clean install (something like this).
So select the clean install option.
Boot to download and flash the firmware.
Note: I tried the same and got my IMEI nulled. And I was suggested to follow the same procedure as displayed in that post. I haven't tested the yet. I am still to restore the EFS partition and will report back with any probable solution.
If helped press thanks!
All the best!

Sorry, i got a little confused with the last paragraph. Did you face the IMEI nulled issue even after doing Philz Touch recovery?

Yes my IMEI was nulled. The main problem is the new Lollipop bootloader. But many members claimed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9500-easy-to-downgrade-official-t3036258 that after following the exact steps they successfully downgraded to KitKat. Now I have XXUFN12 firmware so I am still downloading UUBGNJ1 to check whether it works.
All the best!
I have a SM-N900W8 canadian note 3. I just installed new DOC4 lollipop rom via odin. I did clean install by wiping data. I root with CF-Root and flash latest TWRP. Everything seems to work perfectly until i try to made some small mod to add datamobile button in quicksettings using this thread. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370
After it boots up to a black screen and a pop up shows up for nearly all of my apps that says they are not responding so all I get is that and a black screen. I reflash the rom via odin without wiping my data, re-root and everything went back fine and my mod works. ???!! I now have my datamobile button.
Later, i made a nandroid backup with TWRP. After reboot i got the same errors.... So i Reflash-rom, re-root, everything back to normal.
TO make a short story, everytime i access recovery or flash something in recovery or modify my system partition i got this errors....
I suspect having partition mismatched ... i don't know...
Any idea ???
Any help appreciated...
Which version of TWRP did you use? As far as I know, the latest only supports up to kitkat (4.4)
Maybe this is what causes your problems?
That's what i thought, I'm using the latest one (2.8.6.0). I ask other users in another thread and they said this version is working flawlessly with lollipop...
I have the same phone, and I flashed lollipop DOC4 using Odin yesterday, with CF-auto-root and TWRP 2.8.6.0.
I just tried (litterally minutes ago) adding the data toggle, and it worked, but I could not reproduce your problem.
Which version of TWRP did you use? The hltecan one or the hltexx?

1. Are you sure you installed correct TWRP? The correct one for your device: HERE.
2. Seems that mod for datamobile button doesn't work for your device. Reflash rom, re-root and don't install that mod. Try that update firmware for some days and tell me how it works :highfive:
I used HLTECAN 2.8.6.0. When i was on 4.4.2 NB7, i was using the same file and i had not problems at all. If you re-read my first post, i said my data toggle is working fine now but i needed to re-flash the entire rom without wiping data to get rid of the many apps errors. I guess i need to reflash everything from scratch... Will use another USB wire and another USB port. Maybe it'll help... Or maybe i should try another root method ??? I used CF-Root for SM-n900w8...
I suggest trying with hltexx, since it is the version I used, and I encountered no problem at all so far.
Let's check for any other difference between devices. I got :
Baseband N900W8VLUBMJ4
Bootloader N900W8UBUCNA2
PDA Version N900W8VLU2DOC4
CSC Version N900W8OYADOC4
Stock Kernel
