Anyone have a guide on how to roll back to KK. I tried simply flashing the Stock KK rom but it stalls a Samsung logo. I think its due to the Bootloader which I updated to BOC3 when I installed Lollipop. I can't find the old Bootloader.

Before you flash the KK rom, make sure to Wipe data/Factory reset in recovery, then flash the rom using ODIN, once the procedure is complete, return to recovery and wipe data one more time. This should fix the issue and your phone will boot normally.

I had the same after flashing KitKat and then wiping cache. I had to factory reset from recovery for it to boot normally.
Currently lollipop N910c .BOC5
thinking of going back to kit kat.have not tried because it updated to lollipop immediate when purchased.
Anyone who did that.. did you check knox 0x0 ???
Flashing stock firmware through Odin will not trigger Knox 0x1, but keep in mind you'll have to factory reset your device.
Flashed back to KK
I have got a UK N910F and flashed a German ROM this ROM literally ate my battery, after reading this thread I wiped the phone and flashed KK and that worked, prior to this I tried to revert to KK (when I was on 5.0.1) and I could not revert back as I was stuck on boot loop..............Many Thanks

I'm a total moron, I'll just start there. Was running KOT49H【4.4.2】Google Edition and wanted to go back to vision x since your latest update. Full wipe in twrp, installed vision x, icy theme, went to install ktoonsez kernel and it failed. Somehow between people distracting me, I decided it didn't fail. Reboot, and now bricked. Flashed stock firmware 4.2.2 mdl in odin, but no dice on the reboot. It's because I'm still on a 4.4.2 kernel, isn't it...
Now what do I do? Let kies fix me? Can kies even fix me with 4.4.2 not even being released yet? Kicking myself for being so dumb!!!
First, you're not on 4.4.2. Sounds like you're on 4.3. See if this helps you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48557730
This is for the i337

ok, I'm just saying, it wasn't booting after I put vision x 4.3 rom on without flashing the loki'd ktoonsez 4.3 kernel. Will updating flash the 4.3 kernel too?

What bootloader are you one ? It seems to me you are on MDL and I can't see why you would need to flash the MK2. You are just stuck in recovery correct ? If you can get in recovery just flash the vision x rom again.
You didn't state if you can get into recovery or not. Everytime to flash a rom you flash a kernel so even KT's kernel failed you still have a kernel. You might need to explain some more
EDIT: your other post said you cant get into recovery. When you say no dice on the reboot does that mean it's in a bootloop and all you get is the sammy slash screen ? Can you try ODIN again and flash the MDL firmware. I'm not sure but back in the S3 days if you flashed older firmware you had a bootloop after but then had to just do a factory reset in stock 3e recovery and it would boot

I did an emergency formware recovery via kies. It reset everything stock on 4.2.2 mdl! I thought for sure it would've bumped me to 4.3 that way. Thank you for taking the time to respond and try to help. I will be much more careful moving forward and am considering this luck for my crazy mistakes. Yay!!
I was able to downgrade the phone to NB1 and root it with Towelroot, and used Safestrap in order to get recovery on the device.
After that, I booted into recovery and installed the GPE 5.0.1 ROM.: http://galaxys4root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s4-roms/gpe-android-5-0-1-lollipop-rom-for-galaxy-s4/
Now the phone will not go past the S4 splash page, reboots and then goes into the stock recovery. Ive tried factory reset, clearing cache and removing the battery.
Any help is appreciated. I bought this phone for my fiance and am wanting to give it to her soon as a present.
Thank you so much in advance.
I think the problem is that you downgraded.

I couldnt install towelroot on the 4.4.4 version it came with since it said device wasnt supported.
I was following these instructions: http://www.droidviews.com/root-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-android-4-4-4-kitkat-firmware-i337ucufnj4/
It states to downgrade, then root, then go back to the 4.4.4. I thought after the steps I took, I could go straight to a custom ROM.
Thanks
I used CF-Auto-Root to root my device. Since towelroot didn't work for me either.
Maybe the rom did not flash right. Try flashing again.
problem in installing lollipop rom india to samsung i9500
I have installed the newly released lollipop rom to my samsung i9500 through odin. it was successfully flashed but the phone cant restart, it stuck with samsung written on the screen and blue light on...what i should do???
Ok so I'd like to put AllianceROM on my international version SM-G900F H3G UK model.
To do so, my plan is to downgrade lollipop to 4.4.2 stock, root with TowelRoot, then install the ROM through Mobile Odin Pro (to preserve the KNOX counter). I've just tried to flash 4.4.2 onto the phone, but I cannot get it to start at all after it's flashed. The phone just hangs on the Three (H3G) boot animation.
I'm hoping that I've just got confused with the Sammobile site and that I've just flashed the wrong 4.4.2 firmware (so far tried flashing ANG2 and ANE2). Something I should have checked earlier but I just thought they were updated versions of the same ROM).
If I can't successfully boot into 4.4.2, I'd like to try flashing lollipop to retrieve some files I forgot to backup (another silly mistake). I'm not sure whether I can take files off it through the ADB sideload or whatever but if I have to lose all my data then I'm not too bothered.
What's the best way to go about my situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right, thanks man. After flashing lollipop, I can now boot up and back up stuff. I'll flash 4.2.2 again and factory reset.
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.
Hey all,
I hope everyone is well. I'm having some issues with my Note 3 N9005 intl variant.
I am currently running Resurrection Remix Marshmallow (6.0.1) and its pretty stable and is a good daily driver however it has some bugs that I'm not a fan of. I used Odin to re-flash the stock ROM I got from sammobile back on to my Note 3 (N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU) however every time I flash it, I am stuck on a boot loop. This is also the case if I try to flash another custom ROM using TWRP, so I am not sure what is wrong.
[Edit] I tried to flash the purify kernel for this ROM however this also results in a bootloop. Currently I am on the kernel that came with this rom which is the temasek kernel
[Edit2] I've managed to get to the samsung logo but its been 10+ minutes and I am still on the pulsing samsung logo. I've done a battery pull and I've also done the cache partition delete and factory reset from the recovery menu, however I am still stuck on the pulsing samsung logo.
Thanks guys
Does Odin successfully flash the stock firmware? You confirmed the model # in download mode?

Odin says that the stock firmware has been successfully flashed. As for the download mode it says the following:
Product name: SM-N9005
After flashing a stock ROM, are you booting the phone into recovery and performing a factory reset before flashing the newly-installed stock ROM for the first time?

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean I flash the stock and then boot into recovery and factory reset before the first boot? Or I should flash the stock and then factory reset and then reflash the stock ROM?
