I have a 900V still running rooted KitKat. I decide to upgrade to MM and lose the root. There are 3 stock firmware on Samsung-Firmware.org. DO I Odin them one by one (from PD1 -> PF4 -> PG2) or just the most recent version (PG2) alone? All of them are tar.md5 files. Thank you in advance!
Use Samsung kies 3 it will update your phone to latest firmware pg2 for you

i have a s4 SGH-I337M and i was wondering if kies is still safe to use when upgrading stock firmware? i have already rooted and installed TWRP and i am currently running stock koodo 4.3. also will kies unroot my phone if i use it to upgrade the traditional way?
Well. I went for a leap of faith. After backing up my phone with TWRP I decided to use Kies to update my phone with no issues. Now I'm at 4.4.2 with out root. Dose anyone know how to root and install TWRP on the baseband I337MVLUEMK6? Or to downgrade to 4.3?

Did you try to root with Kingo root and install TWRP as usual ? I don't know much about Canadian version of S4 but I think you can downgrade using odin.
Hey guys I'm planning to sell my S4 and I'm rooted on Android version 4.2.2 MF3 and I want to return to stock can I just update the software to return to stock and it will automatically unroot?
Just flash the mf3 tar file in Odin and you'll be good to go

I have an ATT galaxy s4 I337 that I need to get firmware for. How do I know what firmware I need for my phone? Before the problems started I was on 5.0.2. Where can I get the correct firmware to install on my phone?
Thanks,
Jerry
Samsung/ATT are not updating anything that is flashable in Odin. You'll need to flash the nb1 tar file then ota up from there. See this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227

Hey, just to double check. Can i root my Galaxy note 4, SM-N910G on 5.0.1 using chainfire's CF-Autoroot? I checked the website for the autoroot and it stated that its for version 4.4.4
Does it still work on my 5.0.1 without any issues?

Hi, yes you can root. It works same on 4.4.4 or 5.0.1. Get ur exact file for ur exact model phone. In ur case, n910G. trlted. Flash as usual. Let us all know how u went.
Hi so I'm running the latest ota on stock firmware and I'm wanting to try the unlocked firmware however the only one available is marshmallow which I'm fine with using for a couple weeks or so until Nougat is released. The question is can I downgrade to Marshmallow by flashing the appropriate files in Odin? If so does my sim need to be unlocked to flash? Thank you so much have been looking for answers but no luck.

The SIM doesn't have to be unlocked first as long as it's the Sprint Sim. I did just that recently - downgraded from the Nougat 935p to mm 935U.
