Dear Team,
My friends samsung s4 i9505 has stuck on samsung logo.
How can I install stock firmware through odin ?
I dont know the exact country of this phone, so how do i download exact firmware version for my phone.
I downloaded a version from sammobile.com and tried to flash from odin but it is unsuccessful.
Look if you want help you need to give details.
What version did you try to flash? What was the Odin error.
If he has a newer version already (4.3 or higher) you cannot downgrade to a earlier version, so try the latest version for S4, for the country he bought it in.
I updated to Kazakhistan Lolipop through ODIN. Downloaded the firmware from SamMobile.
Since I had checked and wanted to downgrade to stock firmware so that I can receive the Indian version update, I downloaded the firmware for India from SamMobile. The process was simple and without problem. But reboot is stuck at Samsung Logo.
I think its the problem of updated bootloader which is not getting downgraded. I Suppose.
I couldnt find the stock KitKat recovery for Indian Samsung Galaxy s5.
Can somebody help with it....?
Stock recovery comes with stock ROM
Boot to recovery and factory reset
Can I just pick a 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile and use odin to flash it and successfully downgrade my lollipop to kitkat without encountering problems?

Hey bro, im glad to see someone do it successfully. Just one question, at odin, will it suffice that i only have the AP file and not the others like BL, CSC, CP, PIT?

I need assistance. anyone? thanks!
Friend tried to root his phone but apparently didnt install the right .tar while using ODIN. Downloads used:
Odin3 v3.10.6
Twrp-klte for Odin
CF-AUTO-ROOT-Kltemetropcs-kltemetropcs-sm-g900t1
I am trying to find out what are the specs to figure out what would be the proper firmware and tmb. It was 5.1.1 Quick question, would it be possible to download a firmware that is 4.2.2 and then update?
which version of 5.1.1 is your friend trying to root?
My S4 running on 5.0.1 is bricked I've tried to flash it several time with odin but the only firmware available for the i337 model is 4.4, I've tried flashing recovery, bootloader, 5.0.1 update with adb and 4.4 firmware. After doing some research I found out you can't use an older version because of the locked bootloader, and their isn't any 5.0.1 firmware available online. Can anyone post a stock firmware for 5.0.1, that I can flash with odin (.md5) not rom.
There is no stock 4.4 firmware for the i337.
Did you confirm the model # in download mode?
