[Q] Unable to Unroot i9500

I am sorry if this has been asked here earlier.
The only s4 available in my country is the 9500.
I rooted the phone after i bought solely for the reason that I can delete the bloatware.
I happened to com across this MOD which makes the statusbar transparent.
Once I did that, the phone started acting funny.
I want to start over with the official stock rom.
I tried doing that by installing the official stock firmware using ODIN 3.07. Then wiped data and cache from the recovery.
It still boots with the transparent statusbar. Feels like the system files are unchanged.
Anyway I can get a fresh offcial stock rom on the device ?
Any help is of great help.

Hi,
Look HERE
I think you need to factory reset as well.
So, back up your stuff first.

I used the same tutorial to flash my phone with an official firmware. The only thing I changed was the firmware file because theres a newer version available.. the latest stock firmware was downloaded at sammobile..
please help. Is it necessary to reset the binary to 0 using triangle away for the firmware to install properly ??

I believe it is in need of repartition. Some partition from the Rom you're trying to install exceeds current partition size.
So either find the correct update for your region (which I strongly advise) Either try it by ticking repartition( do it your own risk) which is not advisable as you might end up bricking the phone.
You need a pit file for repartition.

The best solution for you is to initialize your phone using Kies 3... However, this requires a running phone, not a bootlooping one... Use a firmware that works with you first!
Install it, connect your phone and do the initialization from the firmware menu... This should install the latest available firmware to your device while cleaning up the whole mess....
Good luck

Send it to Samsung... They definitely know how to put Kitkat on your device!

Are u sure you are downloading right firmware for your device since there are few variants around here, and mayb kitkat is not released for your variant ...
As i can see on samsung update page there is only one 4.4.4 for your device variant (s3ve3gUB)
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300I
It is : I9300IUBUBNJ1 ,so try flashing that one

I am working on the same exact phone and I have having a hard time finding the right firmware for this phone.
It is stuck on recovery. I get a could not do normal boot and back to recovery. So I was planning on flashing a stock rom to get it out of recovery. Every how to page talks about going into setting to find your firmware version. This makes it hard when you cannot get into phone settings.
If you ever find the right Rom for this type of phone Please reply. Every rom site I have visited does not have the correct one.

This is most probably a hardware issue. Something on the main board got fried or some other glitch took place in a hardware component. Send it to Samsung for a repair or better buy a new phone.

Another idea is to use Smart Switch. You don't need a running phone this time. Just choose the firmware initialization option and enter your device model and serial number, and you're good to go. If this didn't work, send it to Samsung or give it a goodbye kiss.

[Q] Cant downgrade to original kitkat firmware from Lollipop

Hi folks, I have recently updated my Note 3 SM-N9005 from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop using the BL, CSC, CP AND PIT Files. But I didnt like Lollipop, lots of bug like no NFC, alarm doesnt work with flip cover, gps issue, etc.. So flasked original firmware (O2 Germany) with odin 9 but no luck. After successful installation my Note 3 just stuck at Galaxy Note 3 screen. Even tried factory reset, wipe data not still stuck at the welcome screen. Is there a way to install kitkat original firmware?

You updated the bootloader so no. Just reflash the beta and wait for official update. Or you can try CM11

revert from android 5.0 to 4.4.2
Download this rom with 5 files with pit file and flash with odin, and do a wipe/factory reset before and after, then u can flash latest rom for your phone from sammobile.

sorry to hear that, when u flash the 4.4.2 back, u ticked re-partition and phone bootloader update?

Yes, I did that. Your UK firmware (UFNF4) and O2 Germany could install successfully but Note 3 wont boot. However,DBT firware couldnt install, odin gave error is initially installation process. Eventually I had to install leaked lollipop

I think the .pit file for Lollipop makes the system partition smaller, so it's only normal that no KitKat can boot, as to why after flashing a KitKat .pit you can't boot up, I don't know. You could have booted up Lollipop without the .pit for it, you know, I didn't, and I can revert to a KitKat backup anytime without any issues.
But yeah, you might have to stay on Lollipop for a couple more weeks until we get an official update.

Hi, is your issue resolved?
I'd like to tell that I have successfully rolled back to 4.4.2 GNG1 BTU ROM from the Leaked 5.0 ROM.
I had luckily backed up my original PIT file from 4.4.2 ROM before upgrade to Lollipop leak. As there were many bugs with the leak, i decided to restore a Nandroid backup of kitkat. But it failed miserably as all the apps started crashing. So I did a fresh flashing of 4.4.2 GNG1 BTU rom with my Backup PIT file. And now everything is working fine for me.
I have 32GB N9005 model. Let me know if you need the PIT file for the same.

It would be great if you can share the pit file with me. I desperately need to go back to 4.4.2. I too have 32 GB SM-N9005 model from O2 Germany

worked successfully for me
I had same issue when I was downgrading to 4.4.2 , but it worked for me :
1- install leaked Lollipop via pc odin ( no need pit file)
2- boot your phone up and if you see welcome screen it means you still are cool
3- download nad install 4.4.2 GNG1 via pc odin, and dont let it to boot up
4- go to stock recovery mode and wipe your phone
5- reboot your phone and hopefully you will be fine

On my first link i give you, u have the pit file for 4.4.2 and all the files u need to revert to 4.4.2, all u have to do is to download that rar and ur problem is solved.

So guys, I now able to downgrade to 4.4.2. As you have guys suggested, I used pit file sokar_goauld (32GB N9005) and used GNG1 BTU ROM, the way RedApple has suggested. Now everything is back to 4.4.2 though not the German O2 firmware.
Thank you guys!
I have one more question, can I now flash O2 Germany firmware on this GNG1 BTU ROM without any pit file? Seems like O2 Germany bootloader/firmware is an older version, so not sure if further downgrading to original O2 Germany firmware is possible without any issues?
Have a nice weekend.

i think there is something wrong with flashing lollipop on your device. i already tried flashing lollipop and i downgrade it to kitkat successfully without error... many people say that its ok to downgrade from lollipop to kit kat... like me im on kitkat now because i dint like lollipop so many bugs. i will wait the official update..

That's good!
Now I'm eagerly waiting for the Official Lollipop

Thanks you Guys
I did as ssn1978 did with the suggested files from RedApple and sokar_goauld and i just wanted to say.....
Thank you guys, God bless you
I started losing hope going back to kitkat or even reviving my Note 3 back...
And now it's alive thanks to you
But i'm facing a problem now, i can't go back to my NF4 BTU, the same old problem happened again :S do i have to stuck with NG1 ? :S

SM-N910T partial downgrade from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4

I was able to downgrade from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 on a SM-N910T. Kinda...
the phone had 5.1.1 N910TUVU2DOK2 and i downgraded to 4.4.4 N910T2TMB2AOG1.
N910T2TMB2AOG1 is 4.4.4 for a SM-N910T2 and I would like to get to 4.4.4 N910TUVU1ANIH for a SM-N910T.
Since I was able to downgrade to 4.4.4 I hope someone can figure out how to get over to 4.4.4 N910TUVU1ANIH.
Has anyone had any success in downgrading the SM-N910T to 4.4.4?

As far as EVERYONE with a N910T knows there is NO possible way at all to downgrade from DOK2. If you have achieved this bud you are the only single person that anyone knows who has...PLEASE sir provide screenshots and a full list of the steps you took... if you successfully managed to downgrade to T2 firmware we might can find a way to help you get over to a different firmware.
---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------
But what do you mean kinda???? If all your partitions are on 4.4.4 buddy you are fully downgraded....how did you come to flashing T2 firmware...what's the story?
---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------
I'm only so excited because I have been looking since I bought my phone for a method like your describing...you will be famous my friend if you have found this and can prove to others it's true....I don't mean that disrespectful....it's just thought to be impossible by even devs
---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------
BTW bro you should prolly post this on N910T forums also....probably get way more attention there

I successfully downgraded 3 SM-N910T phones today, but it will be Tuesday before I can post screenshots, get more details and do more experiments etc.
For now this is what I did.
1. I used Odin 3.11.1 to flash the OG1 rom
2. I used a N910T2TMB2AOG1 rom I captured from Kies a while back that has the BL,AP,CP and CSC files in it
3. I selected "nand erase all" and "phone bootloader update" in options
4. After a sucessful flash, I did a hard reset in recovery
5. I used the app "Phone INFO ★Samsung★" to verify the phone is on the 4.4.4 OG1 bootloader
Tuesday I will try downloading the OG1 rom from sammobile for the SM-N910T2 and flashing it without all the extra setting to see if I get the same results.
Then I will post on the 910T forums to see if I actually have a breakthrough and if someone can use this info to get to 4.4.4 ANIH.
I have been able to get from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4 ANIH with no problems but like everyone else 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 seems to be impossible.

So to start with you were on DOK2 right? And now your phone is on T2 4.4.4 firmware? I have a N910T on DOK2. Well 6.0.1 now but I can downgrade back and I can download the FW and try it...if you can send me a link to the FW that you downgraded to and a link to the firmware that you want to be on I will see if I can get some of my way more tech savvy friends to help me check out the files to see if we can figure out how to get you to where u wanna be...where you get your phone and how old is it...and when you can send screenshots take one of the back under the battery and of your stock recovery if your on stock...

Sorry it has taken so long to respond but here are the steps I took to get down to 4.4.4.
(Warning!!!! I am not responsible if you damage your phone following these instructions.)
>>>>Proceed at Your Own Risk<<<<
The SM-N910T was on Android Version 5.1.1 build number N910TUVU2DOK2.
I used the 4.4.4 firmware N910T2UVU2AOG1 for the SM-N910T2 downloaded from SamMobile.com.
I flashed the N910T2UVU2AOG1 firmware through Odin 3.11.
The Note 4 will boot loop after the downgrade so you will have to boot into recovery after the downgrade, then wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset.
Remember that this will only get you to 4.4.4 for the SM-N910T2. I would like to get to 4.4.4 for the SM-N910T if someone smarter than me knows how to do it.

Have you tried flashing the ANK firmware?

Sammobile also shows 4.4.4 firmwares ANIH and ANJ7 for the N910T. Did those also fail downgrade attempts from 6.0.1?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Yes they failed.
That's why I tried the 4.4.4 firmware for the SM-N910T2. It was the only firmware that would downgrade.

I have tried to downgrade to ANJ7, ANK4, and ANIH with no success. AOG1 is the only one I have been able to downgrade successfully.
A side note, I can upgrade back to DOK2 and then downgrade back to AOG1 with no problem.
So it seems that the Note 4 bootloader is not exactly locked because it can be downgraded to 4.4.4 on at least one version of the firmware. What this leads me to believe is that these must be a database or whitelist in the bootloader code that allows for downgrade to 4.4.4 if the version is on the approved list. Or maybe it's a blacklist with ANJ7, ANK4 and ANIH on it that causes Odin to fail. I have not tried to decompile the bootloader to verify, so I am just speculating at this point.

Not sure, I haven't really tested it since I am trying to get to ANIH. I know that it boots up fine and I can access the settings and install software. I haven't seen any force closes but I haven't tested it thoroughly.

Why do you want ANIH specificly....? There is a reason I'm asking...your answer will help me try to figure out a way for you to get there..

I want to use a rom that is based on the ANIH build.

Do you know how to edit firmware tars
---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------
That's why I asked why you wanted to be on ANIH...you can possibly extract the tar and remove the BL...then you are left with a ANIH phone that has a different BL of the same build...but have you tried the rom you want on the T2 FW...? It might run perfect....it's like installing a N910F rom on N910T...all you really need is the BL and Modem that is compatible with our phone... T and T2 are the same as far as hardware from what I can find....

>>>>Proceed at Your Own Risk<<<<
The SM-N910T was on Android Version 5.1.1 build number N910TUVU2DOK2.
I used the 4.4.4 firmware N910T2UVU2AOG1 for the SM-N910T2 downloaded from SamMobile.com.
I flashed the N910T2UVU2AOG1 firmware through Odin 3.11.
The Note 4 will boot loop after the downgrade so you will have to boot into recovery after the downgrade, then wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset.
Remember that this will only get you to 4.4.4 for the SM-N910T2. I would like to get to 4.4.4 for the SM-N910T if someone smarter than me knows how to do it.

After downgrading to the 910T2 4.4.4 stock, were you able to install recovery and any of the 910T 4.4.4 custom ROMs? ie FireKat? Were you still unable to Odin any of the T-Mobile 4.4.4 from your Rent-A-Center T2 4.4.4?

did you try ODIN re partition with PIT File for 910T , along with ANIH stock rom 4.4.4 ?

I've done the said method of downgrading to 444 N910T2 OG1 firmware from 601.
This is the closest you can get to NIH and all the other original 444 firmwares for N910T. You won't be able to flash stock n910t 444 rom from this one, though.
The positive side of it is that this OG1 firmware for N910T2 is fully functional with no TMO bloats. So it's almost like a dream 444 stock firmware.
Again: fully functional 444 daily driver with good battery life and no tmo bloats. You can flash Root, it works as well. If you love 444 just flash this over your 511 or 601, erase data and cache. Start fresh. Then, enjoy the benefits.
Loving my Note 4 even more now.

galaxy j500h 5.1.1 downgrade problem

okay so i have this lil problem on my galaxy j5
a few months ago ive found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/tutorial-upgrade-j5-2015-to-6-0-t3443904 so i tried to upgrade my phone to android 6.0.1(firmware: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=D2F21816700B11E69B2DFA163EE8F90B) and it works perfectly fine tho
but im trying to downgrade to 5.1.1 coz i cant install any custom mods and kernels so i tried to flash a android 5.1.1 firmware(http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=F33B6BD4400411E6815B0CC47A44B7B2) which it gave me bootloops
i tried to re-flash it to android 6.0.1 firmware i recently downloaded. it works and it starts up ok but it says that the system is not running and it should be factory reset--something like that. so ive factory reset my phone and again..it gave me bootloops
fortunately ive recently did some twrp backup and good thing it worked fine. but the problem is that the recovery didnt backup my phone password(which im stucked rn bcoz i cant type my main phone password)
im preety stuck here and if i factory reset again it still gives me bootloops
pls bear with me if you dont really understand my problem(im not that fluent in english)

I dont own that device, but i thing this would work:
Flash latest 6.0 firmware with samsung smart swich (PC), enable oem unlock in settings, flash twrp for 6.0 with latest odin, do a factory reset and a full wipe (except external sd an android secure). Then download latest 5.1 firmware for your device an flash it with odin (it will take some time).

You are stuck on Marshmallow

Hai bro,,,
u try this one after flashing offical firmware simply reboot your device into recovery mode by pressing Power + Home + Volume UP and do a wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partitions then reboot your device, it will start properly and all problems are now solved,,,,,

With the J500H, Samsung decided to lock the bootloader, meaning you can't downgrade. J500h seems to be the only locked device. Unless someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader then you are stuck on 6.0.1.

You can't downgrade anymore. I have J500H too. Im using Custom ROM right now.
More info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/warning-flash-marshmallow-updates-t3500396

There is no solution.

update: after spending days of searching from google, i found a 5.1.1 firmware that is compatible with my 6.0.1 firmware since they have nearly similar baseband versions(J500HXWU1APE5 for the lolipop and J500HXWU1BPG1 for marshmallow). so now i can upgrade and downgrade the phone's firmware with ease

please, help me.

u can show me. how to flash with odin (

Firmware downgrade Samsung J500H from MarshMallow with the second loader to LP.
Those who are faced with the inability to roll back to version 5.1.1 are uncomfortable with using their phone.
We need to either use the Philippine firmware or install a custom firmware Belousova.
I found an acceptable way to flash my phone with a stock firmware.
For rollback, we need a four-file stock firmware J500HXXU1APA5 or J500HXXS1APE1.
File BL with the second loader BL_J500HXXU1APA5_CL958143_QB8363487_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar or BL_J500HXXS1APE1_CL1011281_QB9453563_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar .
Odin.exe.
Please note: these files for the regions: CAC, CAU, SEK, SER, SKZ.
In other regions, wi-fi or a radio module may not work.
For other regions, you need another file for a specific firmware.
If you need another region, write me the name of your firmware.
The process of the firmware I will not describe, it is well known.
You can see video here.

i just flashed a stock LP firmware that has the same region on my stock MM firmware(MBC) and everything worked fine
idk abt the others who updated on samsung updates(which locks the bootloader), since i updated it manually through odin in the first place

also this is my used firmwares:
5.1.1: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__J5__/zvs5/MBC/J500HXWU1APE5/J500HMBC1APE5/
6.0.1: https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__J5__/4u11/MBC/J500HXWU1BPG1/J500HMBC1BPG1/

First update to MM have the some botloader like LP. But next update have other bootloader and you can't boot LP with odin to your telephon.
10:32 And some more - Philippines firmware LP 5.1.1 have second bootloader. You can downgrade from last update MM to LP 5.1.1 very easy.

I found how I can help for you.
You may download firmware from here :"goo.gl/Yk1Byz" and unzip and flash in odin this firmware.
Then if some hardware not working you may download firmware for your region from here:"goo.gl/SdcwhA"
and unzip repeat the flash with odin but with one file firmware.
And If you don't update your telephon to MM you can flash telephon using only this stock firmware. Save it. First file you can delete.
I am sorry - in first step you may set BL for APE1 file from my blog . It have second bootloader for firmware.
