I currently don't have acces to a computer so I can't use Odin to update the baseband and boot loader. I am running the latest alexandr kitkat rom (nj2, with bootloader nj2 and baseband ni3). I wish to update to the latest alexandr lollipop rom through normal rom flash from recovery.
Is there anyway I can update all the other necessary firmware parts directly from the phone?
Mobile Odin doesn't work any more?

You have to use Odin for Bootloader and Modem updates.
Also i would stay on NJ2 with your current modem and bootloader, i downgraded to it a few months ago due to the amount of bugs in the 'official' lollipop firmwares. I have tried the latest version, but still the same bugs.
Mobile data drop outs, extreme lag on recent apps.. random 'system is not responding' message that heats the phone up instead of turning it on, and many more.

Hello,
Yes it is possible to downgrade from an official Molitor to an official kitkat (the latest).
I do it, when the flash is end and the mobile show the logo Samsung
You can put out the battery, reboot to the recovery and wipe all user data.
Before do that save all your data.
It's an official administrator from Samsung who say me do so.
Hope that can help you.

what do you mean by the kitkat (latest) because not all country have the same latest version.. like in my case my mobile is originally from KSA. and i think its not the latest kitkat out there.

Isn't the bootloader required to flash the ROM?
I'm very afraid of trying stock lollipop. I was on Temasek's CM12 build but I had abysmal batterylife. This was probably not attributed to Temasek's build but rather to CM12 as a whole, so I went back to my nandroid containing Crash Rom V19 on kitkat 4.4.2 and I literally have less than 1% drain per hour with the phone idle. I love this batterylife, and I feel I'd like to try and see if stock lollipop TW will give me the same but I would like the option to go back to kitkat if it's worse. I like lollipop a lot but the promise of batterylife seems to hit and miss, makes me stay on kitkat.
I know Crash Rom has a lollipop version, but beside this, which ROM is the MOST stock with the least amount of modifications?
Hey guys, my question is there:
Its possible to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 ?
I have been reading alot of threads with similar question but i gives to many answer.
Im on a rooted 4.4.2 and i will just back to 4.2.2 because i will a !!completely!! Knox free rom and bootloader.
I dont care about the warrenty, my is run out.
I dont will not only a downgraded rom but also a downgraded bootloader.
When someone have trying a to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 please post here the result.
When a downgrade to 4.4.2 is not possible than which is the lowest firmware which i can flash?
Please try to keep the thread clear and give a usefull answer. Thank you guys
And please dont kill me for my english :good:
Once the bootloader has been upgraded to a Knox-enabled version, you cannot downgrade it. The ROM can be downgraded regardless of the bootloader, but running a Knox-free ROM with a Knox-enabled bootloader will result in a "Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing" message to appear on the splash screen every time the device is rebooted.
Okay too Bad...
A question more, i have been reading that a downgrade (Rom+Bootloader) is possible to 4.3, because there have the same Bootloader but just less aggressiv. Is that true?
When yes you can share a stock samsung rom 4.3 without knox?
Thank you for the answer

You can downgrade with a custom 4.2.2 rom. You just need to look for one.
Okay that i understand but can i downgrade the Bootloader to 4.3? Because there is similar to our one.

Can we use official ROM
Can we downgrade without using Custom ROM?
If we unpack Official tar ROM and remove the bootloader and modem of it and then repack it to tar.
Can that downgrade the Android version from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2?
Or it is not working?

It's possible to downgrade to stock 4.2.2 but a custom kernel such as KT-SGS4 will probably be needed to get the WiFi working.
Simply reinstalling the 4.2.2 modem files using Odin should be sufficient to get the WiFi working. No need of a custom kernel. It is also possible to downgrade the ROM without going through the routine of unpacking and repacking the ROM. Simply flash it through Odin, although you'd need to flash the modem files a second time to get the radios fully functional, as previously mentioned. Just be aware that the bootloader will not change, so every time you boot the 4.2.2 ROM with the Knox-enabled bootloader you will get a message on the splash screen about the kernel not being in enforcing mode.
I have trying this:
I take a orginal XXUBMF8 4.2.2 delete inside the zip bootloader and some other files repack back to .tar
Flash it all fine but then the error, the software is not authorized and on the top secure fail: kernel.
I tried flash a custom 4.2.2 kernel through odin but the same result.

Now i get back to 4.4.2 GNG8
Hi,
Currently my baseband version is N9005XXUDMJ4. Do I need to update (modem etc.) for Android 5.1? I want to use Temasek's unofficial build. If yes, where can I get an up-to-date version that I can flash with Odin?
BTW: This is an Austrian phone.
Update to a lollipop based baseband is the best way for zero issues in future. Yes you can flash by odin, but if your system and bootloader is kitkat. Why not flash a comlete Firmware? Thats the best way..... there are lots of links @ " general" forum .called how to..... blabla lollipop und so weiter.
Thanks, found a link for updating modem and bootloader, but decided to download the full firmware from sammobile. I'll flash a custom rom immediately thereafter, though.
Quick background. So my note 4 is currently on 5.0.1 boe1, stock rooted knox flag tripped so I cant update via OTA to 5.1.1 which is fine, I'm already readying myself for a manual Odin update
Question is that if there is a 5.1.1 firmware avail on my country for my provider, if I flash the stock 5.1.1 firmware does it also flash the 5.1.1 bootloader or will it retain my 5.0.1 bootloader? I'm pretty sure it will also update the bootloader but wanted to ask anyway to confirm.
Main reason for asking is that I know you lose root when you flash stock firmware via Odin. I'd still want to attain root after upgrading to 5.1.1. Not sure if there are any methods to date to root on 5.1.1 bootloader, or if its safe to flash the 5.0.1 bootloader after the 5.1.1 stock firmware flash.
TIA for those who would answer. [emoji1]

Simple bro. Don't forget to backup your data!!!
Poland 5.1.1 comes with 4 files including bootloader, modem, csc and system. Country or provider means nothing for it, it will work anyway. So, here are the things you gonna do:
1-) Flash Poland 5.1.1 with odin (be careful to place all files in correct section in odin!!!)
2-) Enable usb debugging from developer options
3-) Flash twrp with odin
4-) Lastly, flash which 5.1.1 rom you like, all of them are rooted now :good:
Bumping up since 5.1.1 is already avail on my country. Wanted to know if flashing the 5.1.1 firmware would wipe the device or will it be just an upgrade.?Haven't tried flashing an official firmware on top of an official stock (lower version).

It won't wipe your phone data, it will be like an upgrade.
Secondly tripping knox does not mean you will not receive OTA. As long as you are fully stock and when you check the system status in settings and it states 'official' you will receive the OTAs

Thanks! Yep, realize that now. I believe the reason I can't receive OTA is due to the custom recovery I've installed. Will try reverting to stock recovery first to see if I can OTA upgrade. If not, will download the full firmware and flash on ODIN.

The ROM might still consider your device to modified, You may have to flash stock from Odin and then check the status, if it still says modified then a factory reset might be required.
Hi guys,
I have the following official rom :I9505XXUFNB88
I only rooted the phone using towelroot with Knox 0x0. However after two years of using it and now loosing my warranty I would like to update my phone to 5.0 or even flash a custom rom 6.0.
Theres a small hiccup, I can't ota any update because it shows me an error when flashing. I bet it has something to do with towelroot.
Do you know how to disable it?
Many thanks!
Download a ROM from sammobile, using the device model, and narrowing down the results by country and carrier. Flash that ROM through Odin, as it will be the latest provided by Samsung. That will upgrade your bootloader and baseband to the latest versions. From there, download the latest TWRP recovery available (link in the AOSP 6.0 thread located in I9505 Original Android Development) and flash that through Odin. Then flash the custom ROM of your choosing.
