I updated my att galaxy s5 using the chainfire for a rooted 5.0 and everything was awesome and then It was time to trade in my Galaxy so I decided to reset it to stock. I messed up by not clicking unroot in SuperSU and trying to restore using odin and stock firmware (4.4), now my phone is soft bricked. I can get it to the Odin Mode screen and the download screen but Odin fails on every attempt to flash a new ROM. I remember now that I believe it said if you flash to the custom 5.0 rooted rom that you can not return to 4.4 because it locks the bootloader to 5.0 or something. Am I screwed and have to wait for a 5.0 firmware file to be released or is there something I can do to fix this?
I believe you have to downgrade to a kitkat bootloader(4.4) and then flash the stock rom. Try that and tell me if it helps on flashing stock rom.
How would I go about downgrading?
Try this.

I'm assuming the chainfire root you mentioned was you using flashfire to flash the prerooted L rom since that's the only way in aware of, if that's the case you're fine to downgrade as long as you use the right file, which is pretty much as long as its for your model, the flashfire thread has the downgrade_to_NCE odin package which I can personally verify works fine to downgrade.

Yeah, I think I may of taken the oc4 update becasue flashing it with Odin didnt work. I DID however get it to work by flashing the OC4 Kernal and then afterwards flashing the G900A_OC4_Stock_ Partitions. However im not sure if everything is in working order now, certain apps etc. dont start up when clicked.
Everything seems like its working after a quick restart actually, and Root Checker somehow says I still have root.

Your best bet is to start over by flashing the stock MF3 files using ODIN. From there, re-root your phone, reinstall SafeStrap, and try again. You most likely flashed a non-TW based ROM... remember only TW roms work with SS right now.
If you have any other questions, I'll try to explain it in more detail.

First off, download ODIN 1.85 it seems to be the one that most people have the best luck with.
Grab the MF3 TAR files
Extract the MF3 files to a folder, say on your desktop. ie. MF3
Open ODIN and refer to this picture...

you da man, Nighthawk.....good job sir...more patience than me for sure, nice of you to help.
Alright, so my AT&T S4 is on 5.0.1 lollipop and I need to root it. I don't have root access and muniz_ri's thread says that I need to flash back to NB1. Before I flash, I went to download mode and saw words that were in blue: Secure Download enabled. I'm not sure what it means, so I don't do anything yet, in case I mess something up. My point is that I need help on what that means and if it is safe to flash back.

If anything goes wrong you need to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. Any update .zip is only flashable in the stock recovery. If something goes wrong you won't be able to boot into recovery, only download mode.

Man, you're worrying too much. You can always get back. Worst case is you ota back. It might take awhile as ota's come sequential. Just flash the nb1 tar in Odin. Boot up and it'll most likely want to ota right away to nc1. Let it do it. Then root with towelroot. Then use the keep root method to go up to oc3. Don't bother setting up the rest of your device, ie apps etc. Until you're back too lollipop.

I'm not sure what that rom is. It was posted in the dev forum and op offered almost no details. All I know is that the file name is SM-S920L3.tar and it weighs in at 1.4GB.

In that case they must have put it up just recently. Things are starting to look up for us after all.
Maybe, I'm not going to be the guinea pig here and risk my phone on some unknown rom without a custom recovery available to backup and restore my phone should something go wrong.

Even if you update, you should be able to Odin back to the root file...as you can odin back to the original official tar. The update only adds wifi calling and some smaller fixes.
I have the update, have not installed it. I am not rooted, so don't know how to pull it off for others. But will be glad to if someone tells me how on my unrooted phone, if possible.

So it allowed you do download the update while you were rooted?
Out of curiosity, where on the phone was the download stored?
Oops, just read more carefully, you don't know where it is. I have pulled them before, but don't remember where. It's not the obvious places like "Download". I think it was in a cache folder. Use a root explorer and look around in the system folder.

I'm pretty sure it is downloaded to the system folder somewhere (cache maybe?). Without root, you'll never get to it.
I figured as much but it seemed like people were interested having non rooted people look.
It's odd cause this is the first non rooted phone I've ever had. I'm holding out to see if we get the boot loader unlocked and custom roms. If not I'm going to skip root this time around.

I'm in the same boat. I need my Gear S to work and it doesn't with the rooted rom we have now.
I'm surprisingly happy with it unrooted. I did buy Adguard, because I can't stand ads. Other than that, all good. If my plan didn't include HotSpot, it might be a different story.

Were you rooted or just on plain old stock?
Best way I know to fix is via a PC, using Odin to load stock firmware from Verizon.
Or, you may be able to get a company Verizon store (not a verizon reseller) to reflash it.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
It's on a Un- rooted stock Verizon 4.4.4. Going to Verizon probably out the question, finished contract and went to net 10. I can get phone in download mode (volume down, power, home button) I tried Odin but it failed also. But I may have been doing something wrong. Not real knowleable on these things. Does anybody have a link to stock Verizon 4.4.4? Another thing, my pc is not recognizing my phone now also.

You can get stock 4.4.4 from www.sammobile.com, you have to join to download firmware, but it's free.

You can get stock 4.4.4 from www.sammobile.com, you have to join to download firmware, but it's free.

Odin does work... Apparently you don't.
I can't read your mind... Tell me what you did and tell me if you enabled usb debugging and what version of Odin and which "slot" you put the firmware and if you have unzipped the firmware so odin sees a xxxx.tar.md5 file

I wasn't getting smart... The comment "odin doesn't work" means nothing just like " I got it to work" means nothing.
Other people can't read your messages and learn anything, or give you any advice.
If you had said... I tried xxx and got this error yyy then someone reading your post can suggest changes to what you are doing.
If you had said... I now did this instead and it worked... Then some other user could read your post and learn perhaps how to solve their problem all by themselves.

This is what you said.
(Odin doesn't work....Apparently you don't.).That's making a smart remark at me.
Its no problem.
How I got it to work was to use the stock 01 lollipop Rom not the 06.I think that's what you call them.
