For a few weeks now, I have been unable to update my galaxy s5 to lollipop 5.0. I the download the update perfectly fine, but when I go to install it, it loads for a minute then says error. Now my phone was rooted, but one day it became unrooted. I tried to reroot it but it didn't work at all. I have a feeling when it unrooted, it didn't fully unroot? So I may have done something wrong here.. if anyone has similar issues and knows what may be wrong can you please help me!! I have reset my phone many times and nothing works!!
Hi everyone,
This is my first post and I hope that I am in the right section.
As per info in the thread title, I have a Malaysian Samsung Galaxy Note 3 updated to the last available firmware 4.4.2
I am trying to flash Lollipop with Odin (i followed all the instructions in the guide, literally step by step).
I have tried with the italian Lollipop update branded Vodafone, but Odin always failed and the phone was soft bricked.
I have reinstalled the original malaysian firmware 4.4.2 that i had prior this attempt. phone booted ok and worked perfectly fine.
Then i downloaded the lollipop firmware from poland, this thime odin completed the process and gives me a pass. but the phone goes in boot loop (samsung logo at booting never goes away). I have tried to reboot in recovery mode and wipe the cache. but still boot loop.
Would anyone be so kind to explain what i am doing wrong and how i could install lollipop on my malaysian galaxy note 3?
Any help would be much appreciated.

note 3 lolipop(Malaysia) N9005
Guys good news because this morning when I was checking my software update ... Thru Ota is about 860mb and thru keis 3 is about 1.3gb. Took me couple hours to download and about 1hour ++ to install. Booting up took some time and luckily everything is working fine for the time being.
Anyone updated and how's the battery draining issue.
i try update my note3 using kies3, it confirmed lollipop 5.0 available to update, but unfortunately my note3 repeatedly crash during upgrade and window on kies top up said "PC cant recognized my phone". Maybe cause of my knox warranty void 0x1 (trip). i hack on local C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Temp and get copy of *.zip files (N9005DXUGBOD1_N9005OLBGBOD1_HOME.zip). It was lollipop firmware version for malaysia. Upgrade it using Odin and succesfull installed.
Lolipop
I was having the same issue while updating thru keis. So I downloaded it thru OTA. Battery sucks after lolipop. If you are facing any issue just send me a mail
Hi Guys, Please I need your help.
I purchased a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (LTE Hongkong TGY Variant) in the Philippines.
Its is not rooted. Android version still at 4.3 when i bought it.
Tried to update it via OTA at 32% it will fail and then reboot. No changes will be made after the reboot.
I tried to update it via Samsung Kies / Smartswitch it worked.
From Android Jellybean 4.3 , I updated it to Android Lollipop 5 via Kies / Smartswitch.
But........
After the update If i will use or touch a certain application the phone will start to reboot by itself.
This happens very often like every 15 minutes.
The batter drains fast and the device heats up like crazy when i use the camera or i open up a game app then it will reboot automatically.
-Tried to do a soft and hard reset already by pressing volume up, menu key & power of button,
I cleared the cache and wiped user data already. But still nothing has changed.
-Tried to re-update the handset via USB on Smartswitch for Android 5 Lollipop but its still the same.
Here are my Note 3 handset info:
-Handset is from Hongkong(TGY)
-Baseband Version before the update: N9005XXUBMI5 (Android 4.3)
-Baseband Version after the update: N9005ZSUGOL1 (Android 5) ( i provided a screenshot)
-Is it safe to update the phone via Odin 3.10, then get a Firmware from Sammobile then flash it?
-The phone is from Hongkong (TGY), should i choose a Firmware from Hongkong? Or Is it ok to choose a Firmware from the Philippines? since i am here right now.
-Is it okay to downgrade from Android 5 to Android 4.3 or 4.4.2? ( Would you recommend it or no?, others are saying if i have upgraded my handset to the latest android update I cannot go back anymore to a lower Android version, if i do i might encounter problems or worst case i might brick the phone.
-If possible i do not want to root my handset, but if it is needed im willing to do it.
Please guys , i need your expertise on this. I really need your help badly to get my phone on its working state again.
Your reply and tutorials will be much appreciated.
Thank you and more power.

Hi,
To make everything clear i will start from the very begining. I bought my Galaxy S5 2 years ago. It was on android KitKat back then. Everything was stable and it was working like a charm. When android 5.0 Lollipop was available in OTA i let it update. Still everything was ok. And now, about 1 month ago when android 6.0 Marshmallow came out in OTA for my device i also didnt hesitate. Now i regret it as hell. On 6.0 my phone went from stable as a rock to restarting every 5 minutes. I thought maybe its battery fault so i changed it but unfortunately it didnt change much. I blamed 6.0 for all this thing so i decided to downgrade it to 5.0 Lollipop. I did it thanks to youtube tutorial by android doctor - Samsung Galaxy S5 Downgrade Android 6.0 G900F Marshmallow To 5.0 Lollipop ( i was using ODIN and i flashed XEO rom for my SM-G900F from sammobile website).
For like 3 weeks everything went back to normal but one day i couldnt turn WiFi on my phone (when i pressed the WiFi symbol nothing was changing, when in settings i tried to slide it to ON position it went back to OFF. I thought ok lets reboot the phone then. I did it but from that moment my phone is as useless as a brick. It turns on, shows Samsung Galaxy s5 logo and immediately restarts. I cant even enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode so i tied to flash another rom (6.0) but it didnt work. Phone was still restarting in the same moment. I even tried to install TWRP but cant enter it also.
I had my own small company but it went bankrupt and i have huge debts which i will be paying for next 10 years so i really dont have any money to spend. I live without the phone right now. My life is a misery. Can you guys please help me to unbrick my phone? I will be very grateful and you propably cant imagine how much it will cheer me up to have it working again.
Sorry for such a long post and useless informations about my life but i had to let it all out.
I'd try going back to stock kitkat with odin (install the firmware from sammobile)
im not sure if you can go back to kitkat via odin once youve gone to lollipop, nor am i sure why anyone would. Just get the OK4 tar.md5 from either sammobile.com (very slow servers) or from here (much faster) and flash it in odin. should be god to go. then you can root, flash twrp and youre ready to ROM
Hi Guys,
So my friends Note 4 wouldn't boot and i tried everything to fix this flashing every recovery firmware i could find using Odin but i couldn;t get the phone to boot.
I decided to replace the motherboard but i could only find one from China, I have fitted the motherboard and the phone boots fins but its stuck on Android 4.4.4 and I cant install new firmware via the phone and the phone wont connect to Samsung Kies.
Is it worth trying to flash firmware via Odin or will I be stuck in a bootloop again?
I waited a long time for the motherboard and dont want to be back at square 1 again.
The model is N910F if you believe its worth trying and I wont be stuck in a booth loop please can you post a link to the latest firmware below.
Thanks in advance
This is the one that finally worked for me. I went to the SamMobile site to get it. I installed it with Odin.
