Hi,
Hope anyone can help, I basically bought a UK i9505 unlocked or unbranded from phones 4 u, I have since rooted and installed a few custom roms\kernels.
I'm basically looking to put everything back to stock, I am currently downloading firmware I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU, can you tell me if this is the latest and correct firmware?, also I don't really understand what the CSC is?, would I need to modify this and when flashing the firmware will the kernel change to an official stock or do I need to flash that as well.
Finally at present my system is modified, how do I get this back to official and 0?, I do have the triangle away app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I want to double check everything as I'm not that confident with the process and mainly the order of the steps in the process.
Thanks

Thanks in advance for the help, hopefully we can figure this out.
Currently my Verizon Note 3 is stuck in a boot loop and I can't get out of it. I have tried all the methods that I have found on here including wiping data/ factory reset and trying to go back to a stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380). Anyways, I got myself into this problem, I wasn't thinking straight... Basically I flashed my N3 from 4.3 using safestrap to JasmineRom 5.0. After that I updated to JasmineRom 5.0.2 doing a dirty flash over the 5.0 with FlashFire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433). I was surprised how easy it was actually, I have been on a rooted stock firmware since day 1. After everything was running fine, I had the brilliant idea of using FlashFire to install the Lollipop Xposed Framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811). This is where the boot loop happened and is happening. Everything I try doesn't seem to work... I was looking into trying to convert a zip to a tar so I can use Odin to re-flash on JasmineRom, but I have had no luck, I get a "Unsupport Dev_Type" error in my Recovery. I am not sure what to do or try, any help would be appreciated.
note: I read the known issue with Lollipop's Xposed Framework install and thought that I was on a custom Samsung Rom and shouldn't have problem?
Also, I can't role back to a previous firmware through Odin because I am upgraded to 5.0 and can't re-install JasmineRom because I am stuck in the boot loop (at least I think so).
I hope someone can help. I stupidly did the samething last night to mine. after it was running so well. I jsut wanted to theme out the damn ugly green in notifications
Well looks like I have phone running again but I had to run stock so no more root for me. Very upset. I want to buy either another used note 3 that still can run this rom or maybe find a note4 reasonably priced. NOT a POS clone.
but runing odin with the 5.0 android file it restored but would not allow 4.4.2 or
4.4.4

I did the same and updated to 5.0 with Verizon through Odin. It fixed it but just lost my root privilege as well... Atm I am glad to have a working phone. I found an error that told me my current software level when I was stuck (5.0.2) and the reason for the error (attempting to downgrad). Looks like Samsung is blocking downgrades.. That is why it wouldn't restore any lower .. Just gotta hope that a 5.0 root comes out.
You should use the dedication Verizon Note forum .
Glad you have your working again as well. I believe verizon is doing this not samsung. VZW does not want us in control of what we put on our phones or more yet what we can do with them without paying extra fees.
Phone:
SM-G900V
Android 5.0
Baseband G900VVRU1BOC4
Kernel 3.4
Build BOC4 also
Hi, Ive had my Verizon GS5 for about a year now, and I just installed 5.0 Lolipop, and I hate it.. I want to root my phone and go back to KitKat.. Ive been reading through the forum and all the guides seem to be for BAC4 or something else.. I don't see anything that is explaining what to do for BOC4..
The one guide I was looking at was this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-downgrade-lollipop-5-0-to-kitkat-t3088571
Where someone in post #3 asks if it will work for BOC4, and it was stated to NCG retail stock instead of step 1.. If I download that instead of step 1, is everything else in the guide exactly the same? Im semi lost.. Im pretty noob to this, though I did root my GS3 which I found pretty easy to do..
Also if this is the wrong guide or if there is an easier guide to follow can someone link me to the steps I need?
I also read somewhere else about d/l superuser 1st? And it will not trip the knox counter?
Also do I need to backup all my phone settings and stuff before I start this whole process? And how do I go about that?
Thanks
**Edit: Is there also a way to backup all my setting like handcent and stuff so that I don't have to reconfigure all my font settings and colors and backrounds and so on?
Ok so I backup up my phone with Samsung kies, just hoping someone can point me to the proper guide to go from 5.0 BOC4 to Rooted Kit Kat
Thanks
Ok sorry for multiple replies here.. But Ive seemed to get myself now onto
Android : 4.4.2
Baseband: G900VVRU1ANCG
Build: KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG
I haven't gotten any feedback here so far, but maybe from this point someone can tell me how to root and get to 4.44 from here???
Please and thanks
you could try this thread for what you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
sorry if i can't remember which firmware after NCG leads to 4.4.4
Thanks for the reply.. I am really lost at the moment..
So after I got my phone to this point:
Android : 4.4.2
Baseband: G900VVRU1ANCG
Build: KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG
I then d/l towelroot and made it rain. It seemed to work.. From there I then flashed (I think) the NI2 Firmware only kenrnel.tar file..
*EDIT
So now my phone says
Android: 4.4.2
Baseband :G900VVRU1ANI2
Build: KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG
Is this right? My baseband is NI2 and Build is NCG???? Im lost?
I then downloaded a root checker from the play store and ran it, and it said my phone was rooted.. I finally now was able to run SuperSu Pro, and it asked about updating binaries, and i clicked "normal", it then asked me the Knox detect, and I said disable..
So how do I get to 4.4.4 from here? And Im assuming im fully rooted?
I can see that nobody wants to help a noob at this, but it would really be great if someone can tell me where to go from here?
Please and Thanks
Like the title says, I have a g900v running 4.4.2 with ank7 and it seems like that's a combo nobody else has. I had it rooted before but I believe I accidentally updated with an OTA at one point and lost root. Does anyone know how to regain root from here, or guide me to which updates I should install to get to a rootable firmware? Thanks in advance!
also, I do like 4.4.2 a little more than 5.0. My gf has 5.0 and I'm not too fond of it, but if 5.0 or 6.0 are a lot better speed-wise then I'd be ok with upgrading. I'm just not a big fan on how it looks.
Does anyone have any tips or knowledge on what I need to do to get root back?
Have you tried to root using towelroot by geohot?
you can install it just by googling towelroot and then installing it
once installed you just click make it rain and you should get root
Try this web page if it doesn't work at first
http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
otherwise flash using odin to a different KitKat firmware that is supported by towelroot and then root
Build MMB29K. I've tried and can't get TWRP loaded on there. I just bought this phone, but thinking about sending it back and keeping my rooted Note 3 if I can't get this to root! Here is the partial link to my post on Reddit about this same topic:
galaxynote4/comments/52my2m/has_anyone_been_able_to_root_their_smn910v/
Still no solution. Please help!
Same here
Can't get Odin to write the bootloader successfully.

Right if u took the ota you are locked as far the bootloader goes ....flashing will not be possible til this is corrected ....im told u can odin back to 5.1.1 which has a pretty easy method the safely upgrade so rooting and unlock are simplified. I never tried to rooting from the stock firmware.... does kingroot ever get u rooted? If so the u could try the aforementioned method but u would need a 6.0.1 compatible kernel (Sprint) given u r on there dev cid .
in the verizon note 4 form is where you should be looking because you have a locked bootloader.
