Bootloader or Kit Kat Problem?

Hi, I came from 4.3 rooted but untripped knox firmware. Now I have updated to 4.4.2 Singapore firmware but have maintained to keep knox intact and root using MOP and PC Odin for flashing bootloader. My problem is, whatever I do, the keyboard and pen input keeps force closing. I have tried reflashing, reset and data wipe. I used the bootloader from the leaked firmware as I have no idea how to extract the bootloader from the firmware. Did I do something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
Or can anyone teach me how to extract the bootloader from the firmware? Or convert the 1 file firmware to 3 files firmware which have BL separated. Thanks!

Go to Sammobile.com. You can download the poland rom and it is broken up into 4 parts (BL - bootload, AP, CP and CSC).
Get ODIN 3.09 and flash JUST the BL part in the appropriate space.
Just remember though, once you update the bootloader, you can't go back to JB....

Update Problem

I've just bought an S5 G900F Euro version which had Kitkat on it.
Tried to update Bootloader&Modem so that I could install Lollipop ROM using odin.
It didn't work and phone wouldn't reboot.
From Samsung website downloaded latest Firmware G900FXXU1BOD3, but odin keeps failing because of ext partition.
I installed TWRP, rebooted to recovery, it automatically fixed partion, rebooted but stuck on boot screen.
Re tried again once partition was fixed got the Android is updating but is now stuck on "starting apps".
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks.
You didn't need to update modem and BL to upgrade from KK to LP
Anyway, try flashing the PIT file along with the stock LP ROM (Same time in ODIN)

Thanks for the link for the PIT file and information.
Phone now working.
The reason I wanted to update bootloader+modem was that it was a requirement of the ROM I wanted to install.

Help please fast

Hey guys,
I installed xtrestolite on my G900F and changed the bootloader and modem of my device before installing it. First problem i had was with CSC. It is a single CSC and i couldn't install my countries CSC on it. That's why i went back to stock. I installed Kit Kat firmware that i downloaded from sammobile and then changed CSC to my countries CSC. Then i updated firmware to lollipop using Kies3. But installing stock rom didn't change bootloader version or modem version. Now i have kitkat bootloader version, kitkat baseband version and lollipop firmware version all different and i want to them all to be the same(latest lollipop). Is there any way to do this without downloading stock rom from sammobile again ? And if not, then can i just put the tar.md5 file that i will download from sammobile in bootloader, pda and CP at the same time and install with odin ?
Thanks in advance !
You do not need to re-download or re-install your ROM. You need to download your bootloader and radio from somewhere, then flash those with ODIN.
Just an FYI, the modem doesn't always like to stick so you may need to flash (auto-reboot disabled), pull the battery after odin says "success", then flash again immediately.

Hey thanks for the tip ! I just downloaded stock firmware but i don't know how to extract bootloader and modem from tar.md5 file and then make them odin flashable. I uploaded image with all the files that are in my tar.md5 file. What of these are for bootloader and what for modem and how do i make them odin flashable later ?
Thanks in advance

Hi XDA community, i want try to downgrade in my A310f from Android 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. It's possible? I try to download the 5.1.1 from Sammobile, but when i flash the firmware with odin i get the error "SW Rev Check Fail" in my phone and "md5 error" from odin.. there are some method?

If your bootloader also is upgraded to A310FXXU3 then it won't be possible to downgrade to 5.1.1 through odin.
Maybe with a modified package without cm.bin, modem.bin, sboot.bin. Otherwise, make it flashable and use twrp.
With Odin you'll only be able to downgrade to the latest 6.0.1 which is also A310FXXU3.
how i can flash with twrp?

I can confirm this method is working, I have successfully downgraded an A3 2016 from A310FXXU3BQD2 to A310FXXU2BQA3.
I used the Tar tool from this thread with all the files from the update I wanted to downgrade to, except sboot.bin, cm.bin and modem.bin. It's very important to NOT copy those files to the tool folder because otherwise your phone will be laggy and SIM unusable (if you use the old modem) or you will not be able to flash like with the original tar (if you use old sboot or cm).
So after I ran the batch file, I did a wipe data/factory reset using original recovery and then I flashed the "all files" tar the tool created using Odin in AP (only Auto Reboot and F. reset time checked) and the phone in download mode, and It worked like a charm.
With this method you can likely have any old update flashed while keeping the latest secure bootloader, cm and modem. (Notice that after the downgrade, the phone cannot find any new updates, maybe it's related to the bootloader being the latest or the fact I only downgraded to the previous update...)

Thanks for confirming. I've never tried it myself but I figured those bins are the U1/U2/U3 binary files that are protected for downgrade, so it should probably work without them
Now we know how to easily downgrade without errors.
Downgrade
Hello,
With my sm-a310f I downgraded from Nougat to Marchmallow but could not get back to Lollipop.
I used TWRP and Odin.
I saw that there were solutions but they are not universal. Can someone point me?
Thank you

No! You can't downgrade bootloader even if you use a 4 file repair firmware.
As far as I am aware of, this is the only possible way to downgrade to 5.1.1 if you are on new bootloader/modem (tested by me - works fine, I am on the newer bootloader/modem combo) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/rom-t3614602
(consider this however ONLY if you are willing to trade 5.1.1 for the warranty as you would need to flash TWRP in the process first)
