That's because one cannot downgrade.
There is a downgrade guide, but it is for the I9505 only.
So I guess you're stuck with official lollipop roms, or maybe custom KitKat roms.

Wrong!
Because the Marshmallow rom is NOT official firmware.
As I said before, you are stuck with official Lollipop firmware. But you can use any custom roms you like.

No. Kernel is a different thing.
I think it's better for you if you flash a lollipop firmware.

Are you using the original Samsung cable to flash? Tried different USB ports and USB cables?

How should i search for web?

I find the s4 needs the original cable to flash via Odin. The s4 seems to be much more sensitive to USB cables than other phones I have used.

The problem was that he was trying to downgrade, not the cables and USB ports. He actually managed to do it but now his WiFi won't work.

I guess I was making my post as the op was editing his post.
I am not that familiar with the i9515 but I though the 9515 shipped with LP firmware.

S4 bricked after flash stock german 4.3 > Omega 4.3

Hi All,
I think i bricked my S4 by accident, ill explain what i did.
I was on Omega V10 (android 4.2.2) for a while and everything worked fine.
As soon as the stock 4.3 version of samsung (german) came out i flashed it by this guide.
I did exactly as i was suppose to and it worked like a charm.
After working with the standard samsung 4.3 i wanted to go back to Omega ROM cause its much smoother.
I saw that Omega had just finished V13 (wich is 4.3) so i rooted my phone again, flashed Philz TouchWizz and flashed Omega V13.
After this the problems started, the flash worked but i couldnt get exchange to work to i wanted to go back to Stock samsung 4.3
When i flashed the german stock rom again the flash failed on the bootloader

}
Now i can still install different roms, phone still boots but is very laggy, i have no sound and i cant make calls.
I still can root the phone, install Philz and actually i can do everything.
I can also still use Odin to flash whatever i need, only i cant get a succesfull bootloader flash
Kies also doesnt let me recover to stock.
So far i tried several stock roms, Omega and even google 4.3 versions, the problem isnt the roms it must be the bootloader (and yes i have knox 0x1 now)
I think i screwed up the bootloader and im on the verge of sending the phone back to the store.
Does anyone have an idea how i can get my phone working again?
Cheers !

I did install the leak (the one with 4 files) but it fails all the time on the bootloader file, see the screenshot ive posted.
I can flash the 3 other files but not the BL file.
I did manage today to install the 3 files with a different BL file, this one : GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1 (from Omega rom)
But the Phone still doesnt work
That guide you followed is for the I9500. Your signature says you have a I9505. You are not going to tell me you flashed a rom for a different phone onto your phone or are you?
martyzzz: i went to omega 13.1 from phoenix 3.0 and had almost same issue as you with phone lag - no sound - cant make or receive any calls.
i flashed back to 4.2 and still same issue.
i thought i am alone but looks like something in omega caused this.

I also came from 4.3 german stock fw (mj5).... i don' t have any of these problems... only problem i have is: i cannot make a mobile hotspot anymore... anyone got an idea?

1337m rogers (need help updating)

Hey there,
A few months back I was ****ing around with lots of different ROMS but since I had the 1337m I had a lot of MODEM issues and settled on the DEFAULT.
I forgot about it and recently I realized 4.4.2 is out officially for my device!
I wanted to upgrade OTA and it says "Your device has been modified" I tried to do a FACTORY RESET and that didn't work, still same message.
What do I do?
Do I flash another ROM? or what's the steps?
I'd appreciate some advice/tips!
Have you try installing an original from sammobile??

You'll download a zip. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file. Flash that in Odin on your pc. Google Odin 1.85. You'll use the PDA slot in Odin. Phone needs to be in download mode and connected to your usb port.

I have the latest ODIN
do I need to download that specific one?
because the latest one doesnt have PDA
3.09 Odin is recommendable, in the download page says so, maybe u can use that one.

This happened with me too, but my device was not rooted or anything at the time. I just ended up going to Kies 3 and it asked to update, and worked perfectly fine.
If that doesn't work. try finding a stock rom, but other than that, the Kies method should work perfectly fine.
.....
...Yes, but by updating via Kies or from Samsung Mobile Firmware, will it then lock up the phone and prevent
rooting and custom recovery?

I'm not to sure about that, but when my phone had that message, I updated via Kies, and then I could root right after and everything was working fine as can be.
Anyone load the 4.4.2 official from Samsung mobile yet? Did it prevent rooting and custom recovery?
I am having problems with my 7500mah battery (ZeroLemon). Plugged in for 4 hours and it only charged to 75%. The 7000mah on my S3
would fully charge in that time from approximately 10%.
Not happy with my S4 to this point.... Running the Skyfall ROM and the vibration is VERY week....... Anyone??
Suggestions?????

I installed the original 4.4.2 stock Samsung rom. I ****ed something up hard and flashed that rom via Odin and everything seems to be working just fine. Also, I don't think it prevented rooting, as after I installed the stock rom, I rooted again and it worked fine.
Also, custom roms seem to be very buggy on GS4s for some reason. I know on certain roms sound, calling and texting all don't work. But the vibration might be a problem with the rom.

[Q] how to downgrade lollipop to kitkat?

Hi. I have recently updated my note 3 N9005 Lte from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipoo and also updated the BL,CSC,CP AND PIT File. Now is it possible to downgrade it back to Kitkat firmware? N9005XX...B7 BTU version ?
It's pretty simple.
1. Do the factory reset
2.Install KK via odin
3. Enjoy your KK
It worked for me on GNG1 ROM

I wouldn´t risk to do it like this. If you have updated the bootloader, I think you can´t just flash the KK via Odin. If you have updated the bootloader, there is no back to roll back. If not, you have still a chance.

do upgrade with odine?????
I tried downgrading using the Leaked Polish KitKat to no help.
First tried to downgrade using the original Australian one. It failed by Odin.
Then tried with a .PIT file and the corresponding Germany firmware, didnt work either. Phone wasnt even switching on, gave some error saying firmware update went wrong, connect to Kies... or something similar.
Just to see I reinstalled the Lollipop, It worked just fine.
Then saw about the Polish KitKat leak with all the BL/CSC/AP and all files, downloaded and tried.
For my joy, It installed just fine, but my joy ended when I booted into the OS, it was all buggy, network not working, constant app crashing, camera fail, and made me really scared when It showed that my IMEI number is NULL!! I thought Im so done....
Then tried the German KitKat with the Polish leak's Boot Loader (BL) file, it failed too.
Since I was so worried about the phone getting address-less (No IMEI, no other addresses) I tried reinstalling the Lollipop leak.
It worked again like a charm, and my IMEI n everything else is back.
So looks like Ill have to wait till we get an official Lollipop update, so I can get out of the leak.

Kernel install problem plz help

Hello Guys, I'm living in Korea and I use G900K Korean Variants.
I want to install custom kernel but there are no kernel for korean model.
Can I install G900F's Kernel to my device..? I really want to use custom kernel.
SM-G900K Darthrom EDGE V2.4
Hi. The G900K has the same hardware like the G900F. Perform a nandroid backup and flash a custom kernel from the G900F of your choice. Theoretically it must work.
Umm....I tried it..

But after I flash the kernel.. my phone can't boot and into the Odin mode (could not do normal boot )
1. You flashed which kernel?
2. Do you flashed a recovery like TWRP or CWM?
3. Do you have a stock Touchwiz rom?

1. Speedy kernel or Boeffla and etc. Which support G900F
2.Philz Touch (do you know?)
3.Not stock but touch wiz rom
Ok your phone is booting right now? I mean you flashed the original kernel back?
Don't use Philz because the development and support was stopped. Philz is out of date. Use TWRP or CWM, both recoverys have a touch function like Philz.
Please note that you have to flash the correct Boeffla kernel for your Rom Version.

You say you have TW but a modified version. I don't know if that works with Boeffla kernel. You can try the kernel Samsung stock stable 1.2
If that does not work, than your Rom is not supported.

OK then your conclusion is 'change recovery' right?
Have to go to change my recovery.
If it failed, I will return and report. Thx
No that's not a problem of your recovery. That was only a information for you
I don't know...Boeffla kernel supports Darthrom Edge Rom? I don't think so.

Hey Solvin. I have a G900W8, would you also know if it has the same hardware as the G900F?
The only difference between G900W8, G900K and so on are the frequencies and basebands for GSM, LTE etc.
This things are included in your modem file and has nothing to do with the kernel or the used rom.
You have which rom? CyanogenMod? Touchwiz? Try to flash a kernel. Should the phone goes into a bootloop go back to recovery mode and flash your currently used rom again (the rom includes the original kernel).
I would try it to flash. But for the best safety: Perform always a nandroid backup before you flash.

Thanks for the reply! I will be flashing custom roms soon. However, some mention that I have to get their own bootloader to use it, and again they say they are for the G900F. Just to confirm what you've mentioned earlier, since its only basebands that are altered in different variants, I should be able to use a G900F bootloader on my G900W8, correct?
Solving..?
Thanks for your advice. I think I Partially solve this problem.
Use Android Image Kitchen to extract boot.img into Ramdisk and split img,
And change boot.img-dtb with my korean kernel's boot.img-dtb.
Then I tryed to input kernel. and it success to boot!!
But small problem like earphone is in.

You can try to use the other bootloader from the new rom, but before you do that download the original bootloader from the G900W8 to flash it back via odin, if you are in a bootloop. The G900W8 has no locked bootloader, you are free to flash and flash again.

Thanks again, just concerned about bricking my phone.
Regarding your issue Kim, try plugging in and unplugging a pair of earphones. The issue happens on mine sometimes and that usually fixes it, but I doubt the solution is that simple in your case. Worth a shot.

Few Things I Want to Ask Before Flashing a Custom Rom, Please Help

Hello there,
I am currently found an interesting ROM in this forum called Phronesis Rom v3.0
(Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-phronesis-rom-v1-0-stable-feature-t3241910)
Currently I have an unrooted Note 3 with the Custom Recovery (TWRP). I know a root is required before flashing any custom ROMs. Before flashing this ROM, I have a few things that is not sure and want to confirm it...
Since I don't have permission to post a reply in that forum so I just post my questions here and hope someone can answer...
1. Since my Note 3 is different from the other countries (16GB version) while other countries have 32GB version, does this matter?
2. My current Baseband version is N9005ZSUGOK2. But I found the baseband version and kernel version in that custom ROM is different from mine (N9005XXUGBXXX) Can I flash this ROM into my Note 3? Will I brick my device if I'm doing so? (N9005ZSUG != N9005XXUGB)
<If the answer of question 2 is no, then skip the question 3>
3. Can I use the stock baseband version and stock kernel version (that is come from my region N9005ZSUG instead of using N9005XXUGB) after installed this custom ROM?
I hope someone can help me, thanks..
I also have the same problem

Thanks for the answer! But I'm just don't understand the concept between the Bootloader, Kernel, Baseband
1. Does Custom ROM brings with the Baseband? Can I use my original Baseband when using custom ROMs?
2. I have search some posts stated that the Kernel I've choose that need to be compatible with the that custom ROM. What will happen if I'm doing it wrong way? (Bootloop? Brick?... or anything esle)
3. Do I always need to upgrade to the latest bootloader?
Thanks again for helping. I'm really a noob..
