(HELP) upgrading of os from 4.2.2 to 5.0.1
Am new to flashing of stock firmware on Samsung and have been finding it hard to download 4.3 OS from Samsung updates due to premium account and I can't do OTA update. I just want to know if I can flash 5.0.1 with odin directly to my 4.2.2. I will also appreciate it if I can get another download link for firmware apart from rapidgator for s4 gt-i19500

So my friend asked me revert his S4 GT-I9505 to stock 4.4.2 because he cant upgrade because of root.
He didnt tell me from where he got phone.
I found this
AP:I9505XXUEMJ7
CP: I9505XXUEMJ7
CSC:I9505MOTEMJ8
I cant find any firmware on SamMobile for that
If i cant find correct firmware to revert via Odin can i use some carrier version?
Thanks
- All firmwares are HERE.
- Direct url for android 4.4.2: HERE
*EDIT: Dont try to flash again android 4.2.2 coz ur friend had MJ7 (android 4.3). You can't downgrade. Flash android 4.3 again or android 4.4.2 simply. Good luck.
Thanks man!
hi guys
i was wondering if anyone can help with downgrading from 4.4.2 kit kat to 4.3 jelly bean on my Canadian SM-N900W8 with Rogers.
I accidentally upgraded and want to return to the pervious 4.3. Ive researched a long time and ive read that once you upgrade you cannot downgrade back to jelly bean. Ive also read another post on here that said with Canadian Sm-N900W8 if you download the Mexican 4.4.2 and flash it via odin that you can return to 4.3. Can anyone confirm this and provide me instructions.
Ive downloaded the PIT, BL, and AP for the mexican 4.4.2 and it says to use the CSC AND modem from the stock rogers 4.3.... i have the N900W8VLUCNB7_N900W8OYACNB7_RWC.zip but i dont how how to use the csc and modem from it?
Any help with returning me to 4.3 would be appreciated.

Sorry to say but you cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 rom/firmware.
You will be able to upgrade if and when a newer version of the firmware
is released.
Good luck!
If you upgraded to the Mexican 4.4.2 from 4.3 then you can downgrade back to 4.3. But since you upgraded to the newly released NB7 I believe you're stuck there as Samsung patched the bootloader already for the N900W8.

@gtuck1002 As mentioned by "xinfinityoO", Android 4.4.4 is not yet out for Galaxy note 3 global version like N9005 and N900.
but its available for N900P, Here is the Url for 4.4.4 firmware.
SAMSUNG OFFICIAL FIRMWARE LINK FOR SM-N900P
And you are not able to update because You have installed Custom recovery "twrp" so your knox counter might have been triggered to 0x1, and device status changed to "Custom". That's the reason your cellphone won't get updated.
So if you want to update to 4.4.4 then jus download the firmware and install through ODIN. But you will lose your root if you update to 4.4.4.
Thanks.
Hit THANKS button, If I helped You.
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
