Go back to 4.4.2 from Lollipop - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So we installed Lollipop on my wife S5 and now we cannot connect it to the cars blue tooth anymore. Is it possible to go back to Kitkat? Is there a rom that I can flask or a toolkit that I can use to load the stack kitkat rom back on?
thanks for any help

Did you even bother searching? It's the third topic in. Even a browse would have been useful. Or a glance. Did you look at the main page, or just straight to starting your own thread?

thanks. I did look around, but must have missed it. sorry.

Maybe a newb question

Been thinking of getting rid of my galaxy 4 ATT 4.2.2 MDL rooted/twrp recovery but running a back up of orignal rom that was installed.. I was wondering the best way posible to get back to stock?
Still debating doing this, as I know what happends after I hit the ok button. But Ive been having some bluetooth audio issues so i keep thinking about it.
I assume not to just use OTA..?
Thank you,

It sounds like you are already stock. Just root and recovery shouldn't mess with your bluetooth the problem is something else. Try factory reset ot llr maybe one of the custom roms. I'm on latest shostock and bluetooth works fine.

4.4.x update makes wifi not work

ever since updating to kitkat my nexus 4 is running in to a lot of issues with wifi, when i turn on my device wifi would work for about ten minutes and then stop, while still sowing connected to my home network but unable to load a page in chrome or send a message in whatsapp. if i downgrade back to 4.3 everything works fine again but updating again would do the same thing. even installing a custom ROM like CM11 would make wifi unusable while CM10.x would work fine.
Try flashing different radio. Use the one that comes with 4.3.

[Q] Help unrooting

I wanted to start a new thread since i havent had any luck finding an answer to my question. Basically i need to know how can i unroot my LG G2 LS980 from Sprint. I just want it back to stock. I have tried a few ways (threads in the forums) but after trying fro a few mins they dont seem to work. then when i go to the end of the thread it says these way no longer works. The last one i tried made me download firmware and use the LG Flash tool and change the megalock.dll but after checking all the settings and launching the tool it just sits at 0% forever. I even tried the turn off and put back on download mode again while not closing the tool and it still does the same.
my phone is still on stock recovery, running android 4.2.2 and software version LS980ZV8
I tried doing the OTA that pops up on my phone every other day but it fails to update halfway thru it. Now i want kitkat and i cant update it. I guess worse case i would like to flash a stock rom with kitkat (stock) and still keep it rooted but my issue is im still stuck on ZV8
Well you can easily unroot from inside supersu but if you have modified any part of the system/xposed/removed bloat you will not be able to update unless you flash back to stock

ok found the culprit
forgot to change the com to 41 (windows)
after that it worked fine
Sucks being new
So i need at-least 10 post so I can post in a development forum which kinda sucks. I'm not a total noob i don't need help with flashing anything. I have a legitimate question with a problem im having with a rom. Posting this 10 times in random forums to see if I get intermission to post in Development Forum.

that isn't going to work, you are supposed to make at least 10 helpful post in which you well obviously help someone
Honestly the only help I can give you since I'm using an AT&T version is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg693AYgoTo
I know it's for AT&T but for AT&T and Sprint you use the same method to flash. You just have to replace the .tot and .dll for your sprint phone, because the ones included are for the AT&T version. Other than that the steps are the same.
PS the Development forums are not for Q&A, it's for development and feedback (Like logcats and bug fixes, etc).

I'm unable to charge the phone on OFF state, doesn't matter if I turn it off while charging or I plug it in already turned off, the device turns itself on as soon as power goes through, I read something about this regarding the same behavior on Tablets regarding the absence of KitKat bootloader (I haven't flashed a stock KK rom before this)
Thanks again!!

I'm also having the same problem. Whenever my phone is off and I plug it in, it turns on. If I turn it off while it's plugged in, it turns back on.
I'm on MDL stock Kernel, could this be causing the problem? Is there another kernel for AT&T that I could use without needing Safestrap?
LTE service issues
I'm having service issues with this rom. Low LTE service and my MMS don't send. 3G and H+ seem to have okay signal. I haven't had this problem before this.
Dan. Any news for the long awaited update. Think you will do a pure nexus build again?

Happened to me as well. I did a factory reset in settings and that did the trick.
SGH-I337M
Could someone guide me as I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
On MDL boot loader with ATT.
Attempted to flash NI1 zip and it failed.
Cleared cache, tried again, failed.
Tried again, this time flashing Loki, failed.
What gives?

I found that you have to use Stock Rom Slot then it worked. Dunno if you can use it with SafeStrap Stock Rom Slot, earlier user said you cant. Use CWM I guess

You guys have gotten this ROM to work with Safestrap? Not referring to this port instead?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239
During calls, my phone acts as if the signal was lost, and the call stays connected but i can't send a text or use data. I tried figuring out why but I dont don't what to do.
Whats the best kernel for a 337M?
Hi, is there any problems if I flash this ROM over the 4.4.2 Samsung ROM (TouchWiz) with knox and all that things?
Will it trip knox to 0x1?
EDIT: Sorry, wrong thread, I posted my question in the correct one.
Does anyone get random vibrations with this rom? Its just a single buzz here and there but I can link it to any particular event.

Yep, sure do. Trying out CM11 now, seems to have fixed it. Might try this Rom again, with no add-ons and no xposed.

Reflash the NB1 tar file in ODIN and see if it works then. You can find it in the general section, either search for the thread or find it in the [INDEX] thread.

started working for 5 hours then returned same issue...
I used Odin to root it using Nc1 Then finished with J4 ...
im guessing this must be a problem many are facing. a friend of mine gave me a an S4 logic board i337m variant and it has the same issue i have tried everything from flashing new roms flashing stock frimwares tried different kernels modems nothing seems to work. i second this post to see if we can find a solution. my phone is a I337m and have flashed GOLDENEYE to get the lollipop experience a month before the official Lollipop came out for the canadien variants and i have not had any problems i was wondering if i made a backup with trwp and see if this might fix this problems and if it does i can upload my exact backup to help other. but i was wondering if a dev can help me out and see if this could be a possible solution.
In the same boat aswell
I gave my phone to someone to update it to lollipop GPE about 2 months ago.... wifi would work but my data connection would cut out the minute the screen shut off.... after contemplating going back to the guy.... i downgraded to hyperdrive kitkat rom witch gave me better connectivity but no wifi... I ve been living with that for up until now until I decided enough is enough and flashed the stock lollipop rom yesterday. still no wifi. whats even more frustrating is I cant find the file path thats being mentioned so commonly as the solution.... and yes I am rooted. Also wifi was working no problem before I updated..

Well last night I went from 4.4.4 back to 4.4.2 to see if thus would solve the wifi and blue tooth head ache. It all started working just fine and did all the way up till tonight then back to not working. I then resulted to cleaning the Wifi prongs on the phone and it worked again for few hours. Now the weird thing happens I put it back into the phone case and just from snapping it in it stop working AGAIN. I restarted the phone once taken out of the case and it was working so I think I'm at a conclusion it's a mechanical issue not software. Maybe the wifi circuit us faulty
I've had lots if Galaxy and worked on a few friends but this wifi and blue tooth crap us unbearable.
My Bluetooth is fine. My wifi broke after downgrading to kit kat so I know it works It just seems the wifi files are corrupted or missing. I'm sure it's simple I'm just not savvy enough to implement it
