Newbie here.... So my phone updated and WiFi stopped working. In searching this site for a fix or to revert back to previous version I downloaded a Canadian firmware for the g900w8 model. That is what I have.... My warranty just ended so I figured why not try a new ROM.I rooted and then i installed the team exodus 5.1.1. Never updated my broadband version. Ran that for a week and decided to change due to slow charging and fast draining battery. Stock was awesome full charge in about an hour.
So now I am running blisspop 5.1.1 and flashed krazykernel 3.4 over top
Runs great, some lag in the built in browser still slower charging but better than exodus.
My question though is this..
How am I running 5.1.1 on baseband version for 4.4.2?

Hi everyone
I have been using the last 3 stable builds of CM11 on my Note 3 (SM-N9005) for the past few months, the latest being the stable snapshot for November 2014. I tries to update to a nightly build of 5.0 Lollipop but it failed when booting each time (came up with errors) so went back to CM11 for the time being. I now want to revert back to stock to sell the phone, but am having lots of trouble.
I used Odin 3.09 with the last official rom (4.4.2) but once it rebooted it got stuck after the Samsung logo and wouldn't boot. I tried redoing it a few times with the same result, so, worried I'd bricked it. reinstalled CM11. Thnakfully I got a working phone again. I really want to try and get back to stock but am nervous about trying again.
I can follow instructions etc to do this, but Idon't understand bootloaders etc. Have I stopped myself being able to get back to stock 4.4.2 by using CM11 4.4.4 or even by partially completing an upgrade to a CM12 nightly? If I could find a Clockwork Mod backup of 4.4.2 would that install from recovery or would I get the same boot issue as I did when I tried a clean install?
Hope someone can advise me.
Thanks

Try to flash lollipop leaked!!!
I'm a bit reluctant to do that as the nightly cm12 failed. Do you mean a leaked stock Lollipop 5? I just wanted a Samsung firmware on it before I sell it!
I have updated my GT-I9500 (S4 Exynos version) to the official TouchWiz 5.0.1 ROM (I9500XXUHOC1), but ever since this update the phone gets heated up during usage and especially during charging (which is high than what it use to be earlier). Am getting frequent force close messages (some which were fixed with a recent OTA update) but still the experience has been horrible with the official Samsung Lollipop uddate. I have now rooted and got Philz Touch Recovery in place. All I wanted to find out is can I wipe and flash CM11 (GT-I9500 Version) on my device, will it work or will that brick the device as am directly downgrading from 5.0.1 to 4.4.2 ? Is there a specific way to do this ? Any help is very much appreciated, I need to get out of this 5.0.2 for good.
Of course it will work. downgrading only applies to official roms.
So I have a GS5 on KitKat running NI2 Firmware and Build. I Flashed Ricks ROM and am loving it! Big ups to the Dev on that. However, the whole reason that I Rooted my phone was to try out custom ROMs and my question is if I wanted allianceROM on my phone, I'm currently on Ni2 instead of Ne9. Could I only change the firmware and not the entire build to Ne9 and then flash the AllianceROM? I know after all these years, I should know this by now however, I just waited for in this case an Ni2 rom build to be released then flash it. Is there a way to try any of the builds within kitkat?
I know that the phone needs an update to try Lolipop, but not willing to give up on my perfectly running kitkat Rom (just yet)
Any help is very much appriciated!

Odin the NE9 firmware, boot into safestrap recovery before your phone boots all the way up, then install the NE9 ROM ( which should already be downloaded onto your phone). Don't forget to wipe first.
I have an s4 GT9505 with stock kitkat 4.4.2 BTU rooted.
i have an issue with the vpn working for a short while 1-2min then timing out and nothing loading. im using vpn root.
i have found that it appears to be a common issue in 4.4.2
is there a fix for this?
or do i need to flash to lollipop 5.0.1
if i flash to lollipop do i need to upgrade modem and boot loader? (seen it in one of the roms posts)
im happy enough with the stock rom can i root lollipop?
or is there a good rom without too many issues? it was too hard to workout a rom so went stock last time. and on my older phone the custom roms always had issues with something.
any links on what i have to do as a refresher to flash/ root etc?
Hi guys, ever since i've upgraded officially to 7.0, my g928f started to random reboot, and apps force close. I've tried every single rom found on samsung-updates.com since then. i've rooted my phone and installed some 7.0 roms from here, but the problem persists. My only chance to have a stable phone, is to install any 6.0.1 rom. For now i'm running Pure-Stock ExtraLite ROM. Any ideas why i have these problems?
LE: apparently, the one nougat rom that doesn't restart my phone, is a port from s8+ called "brX Nougat" that i've found on AFH. But I need to test it more days.
