Helpp pleasee, firmware upgrade problem ! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I have updated my G900F to 5.0 lollipop and after i saw that Kit Kat is way better i wanted to switch back to Kit Kat. When i tried to get it back to Kit Kat via Odin, it got stuck! It said Firmware upgrade problem. I solved the problem with adding PIT file i found on XDA forums. But since then i can't update OTA and can't update via Kies Please help me solve this problem. I guess it's a problem with PIT file i installed but without it i couldn't solve the problem with Firmware upgrade. After updating i also got a problem with camera sometimes failing, it starts and shows black screen. It can be solved with restart but after sometime the bug comes up again. Please help me, this is really annyoing and bugging me a lot

Why do you want to OTA if you want to stay on KK?
OTA will take you back to Lollipop
If you are rooted / custom recovery, you can not OTA

I know but ever since update i have this camera problem, and i wanted to update over kies cause it's the safest way to fix the problem. Or do you think it's not a software problem ?

[Q] From CustomROM to Stock 4.3

Hi all,
my girlfriend has my old N7100 with SwiftROM 4.1.2, now she wants to update to 4.3.
I heard of all the issues on WiFi etc.. but i don't know if this only happens maintaining old bootloader; I don't need this, i just want to have a N7100 pure stock so if my bootloader is updated i don't care.
My question is: can i flash the new Stock ROM MK9 with Odin updating the bootloader without having trouble with WiFi or EFS?
Thanks in advance,
Daniele.

I updated once from CM 10.3 to stock 4.3 and had no issues.
The only annoying thing is that WiFi notification shows up all the time.

Means you're rooted/custom Recovery...
Flash stock and you can OTA again. Or install Wanam Xposed and turn your phone from Custom to Official.

[Q] from Android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 Directly?

heya Guys,
i have an S4 and i kinda messed up the moden, because wifi istnt working (I tried to flash the mf9 update, didnt realize i was on 4.2.2 und flashed back to MDC which is now working, exept wifi)
i tried to update via Kies but it doesnt connect to my S4. it says connecting for like an hour.
i am donwloading the 4.4.2 STOCK Full firmware (Its bout 1.5 GB Big and i dont think its an OTA-Update)
my questin is, can i flash the 4.4.2 Firmware just over the 4.2.2 with odin?
or must i get the 4.3 update to get it running?
and i read something about flashing back the Stock Recovery and unroot the Device before updating is this true?
Thanks in Advance Bros, hope you can help me.
Just flash.

will i lose any data?
and what about the stock recovery?
thanks for your help
My Recommendation for you in this case
Go to 4.3.
4.4.2 is Very Buggy and will mess up your phone!

I need your support in downgrading from official Lolipop to Kitkat

Hello guys,
I have a note 3 n9005 model I decided to update my firmware with the recently released Polish lolipop firmware using odin and everything was great, after 3 days of use it appears that lollipop is a bit laggy and sometimes hangs for a while that's why I want downgrade to Kitkat, also i would like to mention that I have updated the bootloader while flashing by ticking the update bootloader button in odin.
Now what's the possibilities of using odin again to downgrade to official Kitkat using one package file?
If not possible what if I have flashed a separate bootloader file then used odin with official kitkat is that even possible ?
Furthermore, I was thinking about rooting my Lollipop then flash a custom recovery and then wipe data and cache to install a flashable custom Kitkat.
My request is that I need someone experienced to confirm with me on what should I do without risking bricking my N3, I'm going to die with it if it's bricked
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Where is the great supporters ? Not even a one reply :crying:

Lolipop is rootable search the forum, and this not my question actually I'm asking what if i rooted it then installed a cwm based recovery to flash Kitkat, will this work or I'm risking for a brick or bootloop or any other problems?
If you have the right answer please answer it with prove, if not this thread is not for bored ppl that don't provide any fruitful feedback.

Lollipops problem after Chinese Lollipop rom

Hi, i was on official leaked lollipop Chinese rom, until Russian official lollipop released.
After wipe and format all thing with twrp and flash 8gb pit file and flash Russian official rom there was a lot of problem, device was so laggy and when it went to lock screen and display turned off, there wasn't any way to turn it on except remove battery and put it again.
So after that, i flashed leaked Chinese rom again and all problems gone.
Now Indian lollipop released and i flashed it and all problems come again.
What is the problem? and how i can solve that?
anyone??
I'm having the exact same problem.
I was having difficulties installing custom ROMs and decided to go back to stock and try again... Now I can't install anything properly.
@Mohamadreza - Have you had any joy?
I take it you've given up?
I tried flashing both stock K and L roms without any joy. Eventually found an old backup. Restored that and now is is back to normal.
Hope your phone is alive again...

Well it is expected to give a Factory Data Reset after flashing the Firmware through Odin.
Flash the firmware and give a factory wipe from the stock recovery.
I hope it will solve your problem.(mine was solved)
All the best!
I found solution .
The solution is downgrade to kitkat rom and then upgrade to any rom you want like official lollipop
I tried flashing both official KitKat and official Lollipop roms without success. Restoring fixed my problem.
Glad you're sorted now.
