I am having some issues with my device and I am trying to work it out. I would like to know if I can install another S5 Stock ROM on my SMG900T. If so which one would be best and would I do it via Odin?
Please be kind, I understand this question may sound stupid. I have been trying on different XDA threads to figure out what the issue is but I was told what is happening can not happen. So I am trouble shooting the Stock ROM.
I don't think so.... you may get bricked your s5.....

Ok thanks. I do have to say the S5 is the worst phone I ever had it replaces the Nokia C3 by far. Never should have 'upgraded'.
You can use the FOL1 firmware this is Android 5.1.1 or the GPI1 marshmallow. Both of them worked fine on my G900T. You can look for them on sammobile and flash it via Odin.

You can flash any of these stock ROMs https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900T/ just choose your android version!
Good luck
Franck
you can actually flash pretty much any ROM you want as long as you dont Odin a tar.md5 for a different phone. I have a G900P and am using a G900H ROM on it. Just need to stick with a snapdragon based ROM if yours is a snapdragon phone

I have the s5 active g870a 1ang3 baseband. I wanna try more roms. Just got this phone. But only couple say s5a or active. Found one that says g870a but the rom is based off of a different baseband.
My question is what roms can I use. Does baseband matter? Can I install rom that says active supported but doesn't state model? I tried using rom slot cause i didn't wanna mess with the stock rom. But gave me corrupt data when booted so now using stock slot.
I would like to find a lollipop rom. I really liked that on my g2. I loved the battery life and features on the lollipop rom I ran on my LG g2.

You are correct to use stock slot in safestrap, but if i understand cirrdct you want to install things like cyanogen mod, ehich is not an oltion since the bootloader of att devices are locked. The roms you can flash are under the att s5 android development section, and the post title usually states if it supports the s5a

So as long as it says active or s5a it is OK? What about baseband? Cause I have seen 1 or 2 say active or s5s support just has a different baseband number.

You should be fine, if it doesnt work just reflash a backup of your stock.

Just wanted to task how I would go about getting the right radios for the US while having fresh stock software from the G928F.
Has anyone tried it like this? I haven't heard of people changing the radios back after a full firmware flash yet, and because I haven't done a whole lot of modding on Samsung devices, I just wanted to put it out there.
Thanks!
it may work, but only if you will flash your stock or custom kernel on top

Hi. I want to try it on my G928T. How?
Do I install trwp, G928F firmware and then the stock or custom kernel or how?
Anyone tried this ? My situation is the other way around. I want to flash US firmware on my 928F model to get Samsung Pay support when I move to US. ...

Hi guys,
A friend of mind got a So from china. Turns out it is rooted which he doesn't need and actually prevents him from using android pay.
So I am looking for an English version that is unlocked but not rooted android and as close as possible to original android as possible. No bells or whistle's.
Which version Is that? I have a hard time finding one.
Thanks so much for your help!!

Oh ... 9500 is his version.

Samsung stock rom. There are no pure android roms for the I9500.
The closets and probably only rom is official stock. Download odin v3.09 or newer then go to sammobile.com and look for you phone mobile in firmware menu they have the latest stock rom images, once you flash with odin it'll return you completely back to stock, recovery and rom. If you don't know how to flash with odin the Google it my friend:good:

That sounds like a good plan. I did some flashing in the past, with my Note 2.
This is a friends phone (i9500).
However, on sammobile I cannot find anything that is for the US. Only a bunch of other countries. Which one would be the best to use for the US?
Thanks so much!!

That I cannot answer unfortunately, it seems to me there are no us version of the image. But I would recommend a rom called MBP v4, its very close to stock, but without those extra Samsung apps and unnecessary bloatware. Plus no knox If you see root apps such as SuperSU you can easily unroot in the settings of the app
I will check that out, thank you for your help!

There is no USA stock rom for this phone as the phone was never released by Samsung or any carriers for sale in North America.
So I had DarkLord N5 on my N9005 before, which was awesome, but it had performance issues (especially when gaming). Then i downgraded to Stock KitKat using Odin and after boot up It showed No Signal, and everything was freezing and force closing. I somehow went to settings and found that i also have issues with IMEI and Baseband version, it was all unknown. The worst part is i did not backup my EFS. Any help guys please :crying:
I also have no audio playback
Im no pro here, but as i found in my research it is hard to downgrade from lolipop to kitkat as in 5.0 new architecture has been presented which they called art. I think. So it gives lots of incompatibilities. I tried the same as you but i ended up going stock lolipop for a while.
Yesterday i flashed Ressurrection remix 6.0.1 Marshmallow based off Slim roms and CM and i admit this is so far best rom i have tested. (Unless you need all fancy spen features)
I'd try to stick to anything that is 5.1 or above since great battery life.
Sorry for not much info, but i couldn't get past your post unanswered.

I had many experiences with downgrading from new version to old version with my S3 and my Note, but never had this issue. Something is causing this...
founded a old backup of CM11.. Flashed CWM and restored to CM. Works flawlessly, but still no sound and those stuff

So i had problems with my either s2 or note 4.
But afaik if u have updated your bootloader there may be no way to get back. And lack of IMEI on reverted KitKat isn't anything new. I bet going simply to anything art. Based will do.
People here are arguing on same issues as yours. Just don't listen to these "flash with odin" guys.. This doesn't work. Even if u flash the stock one.

Nope, I downloaded the KitKat firmware from Sammobile, and I'm downloading the Lollipop one now.

I tried it, but still no use :c
I would not try any other ROMs before trying to flash the latest stock rom from sammobile.com. Hopefully, this will resolve the baseband and imei issue. Sometimes, the missing or wrong imei is caused by a mismatch between the bootloader and modem firmware.

I did downgrading from 5.0 (CM12) to Stock 4.4 KitKat in my S3, but never had issues like this.
Downgrading from a cm rom to a stock rom via Odin can be fine because installing a cm rom does NOT alter the phone's bootloader or modem. Trying to downgrade from stock 4.4.2 to stock 4.3 with Odin on an s3 cannot be done.

Oh, never knew about this, thanks for the info
Sorry, I meant to say that installing a cm rom DOES NOT change the bootloader or modem. When you flash back to stock via Odin, you are simply writing over the existing modem and bootloader with the same bootloader and modem if you are flashing the same stock rom that was on the phone before installing cm.
I flashed between KitKat and LP official just fine.

Hi guys I'm new to android and rooting and this seems to be really a noob question. I am wondering if it is possible to flash galaxy s7 to Android Marshmallow rom just like Nexus phones.
Thanks
You mean go back to stock touchwiz firmware? Yes you can. Go to Samobile, download the firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.

Nexus phones run stock aosp roms, if that's what you're asking about, it depends on the phone having unlocked bootloader and root, then you would need a stock Android rom for your specific device, you can't just download any rom and flash it, you kill/brick your phone that way.

Yes thats what i mean.
Thanks for reply. I know there have been several custom roms in the rom forum. So i just want to check if theres a way to flash google rom like nexus.
If we can flash custom roms on galaxy s7 (of course rooted), why cant flash nexus rom?

Because the custom roms are based on Samsung touchwiz. An AOSP Rom needs to be made for the specific device. And that means the developers needs the sources for the phone. In this case the S7. And they are not public on the exynos devices, unlike the Qualcomm. So it's a try and failure. That's why it most like will never be a stable release of AOSP on exynos ( and Qualcomm since they have locked bootloader)
