Okay so to start my name is lars. ive got a sprint galaxy s5. rooted on NE5 and then moved on to CM12.1 for awhile. now im trying to flash back to stock with little to no success. i tried flashing the stock OA6 (latest firmware) and i get <ID:0/006> FAIL! (Auth) and it says [aboot] Fused2 > Binary 1. no success. and i know that error usually means im trying to restore a firmware that's older than the current installed but its newer. i then tried to restore NE5. no luck. i can still get into recovery. but i cant flash touchwiz roms. any advice would be great. this isn't my phone its a coworkers and i feel terrible about the situation.
thanks -Lars

Hello and happy new year all.
Dear Moderators....
This is a question AS WELL AS a information thread. My plan is to gather the information from posters then combine it all into a neat bundle and have it here for our readers to help. Not sure if that is ik. Please let me know.
Dear Members....
Could someone please confirm 100% that after flashing NL8 Boot and Modem that it is infact possible to revert back to 4.4 at will. Please only confirm if you have done this yourself. If you succeeded or failed please let us know either way and also please include your model number and wether you just restored a previous backup or flat out reflashed the 4.4 boot and modem to revert. Also please include links to the modems and boot you flashed upto or back to if youbare able to. If there was any other crucial information please include as well so we can have a very informative thread for knowledge here.I feel this information is very crucial to people and i think it would be helpful.
I wanted to create a thread to keep updated with success and failures as well as the method that seems to work best and fail worst.

Flashed 5.0 along with the bootloader, went back to 4.4.2 without any issues.
Me too, flashed everything: bootloader, modem, etc... went back to 4.4.2 without any problems (N9005XXUGNI4)
Did you all flashed your old pit file when you reverted back to 4.4.2 or just flashed the rom? Thanks
How do you flash back 4.4.2 ? Using stock firmware and ODIN ?

No, i did not make a backup PIT file. Flashed PIT for Lolipop, did not use any PIT for reverting to Kitkat.
Updated lollipop with BL, PIT then go back to 4.4.2 (GNG1) with no problems.
Thanks everybody...did you see if knox is still 0x0 ?
Odin flash back to GNG1 (DBT) did not work at first (size fail). So I flashed with PIT file which was ok. Knox still 0x0.

Flashed only boot and modem, flashed several Lollipop ROMs, got back to a KitKat backup I had withTWRP 2.8.3.0 restoring everything but the EFS and the modem.
No issues so far, though the phone needed a couple of minutes to get mobile data properly, after that - no issues turning it on and off in matter of seconds.

which pit file you used? the one which you used to flash lollipop or KK one
If possible please include the files you used when you tell of your process. If you could provide you model number as well it would provide very useful. Thank you.
can i get some help on reverting back to 4.4.2 please.
ive flashed all the files for 5.0 and not backed up my pit file.
ive tried flashing 4.4.2 firmware ( no signal, null imei, lots of fc's
ive tried flashing 4.4.2 firmwae with kitkat pit, result( same as above )
UPDATE, ive managed to downgrade to 4.4.2,
i downloaded another firmware from sam ( btu ) flashed in odin and it worked perfect, no fc's or anything.
Did you flash also bootloader or Just The firmware ?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
just the firmware file, make sure you do a wipe data before you flash tho
Someone can provide me a post with all the bootloaders? I only flashed a 4.4 modem and i have a signal problem
do you have an imei? or is it null?
Hey guys so recently I had rooted my i537 S4 active and have been researching and modifying here and there until i decided to get a custom ROM. I found WickedROM via this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491762 and considering it had worked on this person's i537 I decided to flash the ROM. After flashing I had become stuck in a bootloop and I can't get to anything besides DOWNLOAD MODE. Due to this problem I decided to run a stock firmware via Odin with this one_click http://rootzwiki.com/topic/44121-sgh-i537-i537ucuamf1-galaxy-s4-active/ this filled up until the bar was about 90% and then all of a sudden fails at <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4. I've tried other firmwares with no luck and have resorted to posting about this problem. please help and guide me in the right direction, i believe in you XDA!

Here is a thread about unbricking your device: [Restore to Defaults] ODIN for AT&T i537 (good for a soft brick!).
Hope that it works in your case.
If you have further questions about your device, please ask in the Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
BTW, have you followed the installation instructions ... especially "2. Create ROM slot in SafeStrap"?
You have to use SafeTrap recovery to flash a custom ROM into the ROM slot, as the bootloader is locked.
And consider the warning in post #2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46656279&postcount=2).
Best to ask in this thread or the Q&A forum I linked above.

Odin Stuck
Hi,
I soft bricked my Verizon S6. Have tried a bunch of different version of ODIN, different PCs cables etc. I'm able to start ODIN and get as far as <ID:0/004>NAND Write Start!! and then it just hangs there. Can't find any solution. Any help would be much appreciated. (I tried w/ and w/o re-partion being selected)

make sure you are running odin as administrator if you are using windows 7
and don't use the re-partition option , if you are using the stock rom in the first thread it won't work with old odin versions , i've tried it many times , it only worked with odin3 v3.10

I tried the older versions as I read that as a recommendation. They all get stuck at the same point for me and at <ID:0/004>NAND Write Start!! EXCEPT 3.10 which fails "Complete(Write) operation failed". Any ideas?

Hi,
Please could someone send me or post the PIT file for SM-N915P from Lollipop 5.0.1? Is there any way to get a stock 5.1.1 rom tar/md5 to flash in odin?
I tried the OTA 5.1.1 upgrade on my Sprint SM-N915P (32gb) but had issues rooting and I tried to revert to 5.0.1 thru Odin, causing a soft brick. I'm using TWRP 2.8.7. Now I can revert to the original recovery to the phone by flashing the n915p cf-auto-root (which fails attempting to write the cache.ext4, but luckily installs the original recovery first). This boots to the "Firmware Upgrade" error and suggests using Kies Emergency Firmware Recovery. But I never before used nor even installed Kies on my PC and trying it now, Kies does not recognize/connect to my phone rendering that option useless
I found several forum posts which suggest flashing the 5.0.1 tar via Odin and a 5.0.1 PIT file, but all my efforts to find a suitable pit online came up empty.
If you are running Lollipoop 5.0.1, please please could you send me a pit file I could use to re-partition in ODIN and reflash 5.0.1?
Thanks - Any help is greatly appreciated

http://androiding.how/sprint-note-edge-android-5-1-1-ota-update-rolling-out-build-n915pvpu4cofe/ this needed to be read before.
Right, I've since realized that. In hindsight, I could have done everything or nothing. Son this doesn't help me at all, since i'm past that point ( of no return to 5.0.1 ). Indeed, I should have just gone with the S6 Edge instead of the Note Edge, but again, what's done is done, let's deal in the NOW....can't change the past (in this case).
Any other ideas?
That was my point. I don't think there are any other ideas. Going to the s6 edge is pointless because these are 2 different phones. The point is 5.1.1 cannot be rooted right now. On either phone. Nor can you go back to 5.0.1. I think the only step now is to wait for someone to find rooted version. Posting that link was the simplest way for me to say ...there are no answers. I just figured I'd let the site say it. Im sorry if that rubbed you the wrong way. I posted that link in other forums too to stop users from attempting root because the phone will brick.

You aren't the only one with this problem. Thing is no one has the fix.
SOLVED
I love you guys - I swear, that annoying default text message tone has never sounded so good!
ran the 5.1. md5 through odin to get my phone back up, then flashed the original cf-autroot and finally flashed the 2.8.7 TWRP...
HELLZ YEAH
So you have a rooted 5.1.1?
if you have TWRP you should be able to install root zip file..... you guys havn't read much have ya
I have been trying to find a solution for the last 2 days and I have had no luck. Sorry if this has been posted.
I flashed Marshmallow ROM a few weeks ago, but could not get the MMS working on it. So I decided to try a different ROM and hopefully that would fix it. I used the Insanity Rom. It didn't help, in fact, it made it worse because I couldn't get any data to work only wifi. So I figured I would go back to a lollipop ROM. This is where the problems began.
I flashed the ROM, it went into a boot loop. After reading more, from what I read is that once you have Marshmallow Sprint doesn't like to you to go back. I hope that makes sense. So I figured the best route would be to go back to stock and start over. And the problems continue.
I downloaded Odin, went to Sam Mobile and got the file to flash. Went into download mode, hooked it up to Odin, and it failed, tried again, failed. I get an error "Get Pit for Mapping". I have read that you need to be very careful with flashing Pit files so I have been trying for find information on how to do it. I did find a thread with the Pit file for the S5 g900p and another thread that said to use PIT Magic v1.3.10 - Samsung PIT Creator, Editor, Analyzer! But the thread was from 2012.
Long story - Short. How do I fix this Pit for Mapping error?
Thanks in advance for your help.
before you mess with the pit, try different md5's, different cables and different computers. Also what md5 file are you using? I 99.9% of the time recommend 5.0 OK4. If youre using PCA, it can be kinda picky
