[Completed] Galaxy S5 Active Downgrade help!!! - XDA Assist

I have a galaxy s5 active (SM-G870A) running the lollipop 5.0 update. Ive been trying to downgrade back to kitkat 4.4.2. When I try to download the 4.4.2 firmware from samsmobile
my browser, google chrome wont fully download the file but acts like the download is complete, if i click on the file it says it is an invalid file. Any solutions?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Try again without another browser and check the md5 if it's available on Samfirmare.
Make sure your bootloader will allow you to downgrade. If you need further help, you may ask here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/help
Good luck.

[Completed] [Q] Reflashing Kitkat 4.4.2 on Tab 3 7 T210

Hi guys. Well sorry for being so formal but tell me something. After updating my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 T210 to KK my accelorometer has stopped working. It works 1 in a 100 times and most of the time cpu z doesn't recognize it. What i'm thinking is that can i reflash offical stock KK firmware through odin without any problem? Surely I won't have to unlock bootloader if it is present. I don't know if there is a bootloader or not..... Steps and answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
I see you've already asked about this in the appropriate place, awesome! ?
As XDA Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support.... I will close this thread.

[Completed] [Q] I cant update my Galaxy s5 (i have towel root)

i Have a g900a with i have rooted via towel root and i want to get lolipop but when i try to update it goes to 25% and says update failed and my g900a reboots
Also i want to get full stock and just reinstall touch wiz but i dont want to brick my device because of my locked boot loader so any help helps
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There is not a lot of information regarding your variant of the S5 on XDA. OTA's will usually fail if you're rooted. I'd try flashing the stock firmware with odin and then trying the OTA. You can find stock firmware for Samsung devices at sammobile.com.
Good luck and welcome to XDA!

[Completed] [Q] Accidentally bricked my Galaxy Exhibit (SGH-T599N)

Hey Guys.... I accidentally bricked my SGH-T599N (Galaxy Exhibit)
Its showing the regular Firmware update screen... And I needed a way to flash back to stock without using Kies since kies is not recognizing the device... Please help... Thanks
Hi, thanks for using XDA Assist.
I will recommend you to search in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/exhibit-4g
You can try and flash a stock firmware via odin, since I assume you are able to get in download mode. Firmwares for your specific phone may be found here: www.sammobile.com
Good luck.

I did not find my firmware for my device... I don't know how is that possible. The link you gave me led to the device's page. It had the firmware I needed, though Goo was not accesable. Is there some other way I can get the file?

Need help rooting! Thanks. [Galaxy S6 g920f]

I want to root my samsung galaxy s6 non-edge - g920f.
The problem is, I found a video where you download the twrp from google drive, I couldn't download that file since too many users had already downloaded it.
I then searched for a one-click root, which failed since the ones I found don't support 6.0.1 or are only for the edge.
Would someone mind helping me? Thanks soo much in advance everyone.
this might help
I just recently rooted my gs6 running 6.0.1 by cf-autoroot. Just type cf-autoroot android 6.0.1 and it should pop up . if it doesnt then hit me up i will send you the download link. its quite easy so you shouldnt have any problems.
Here is the TWRP;

Hello guys, i want to root too, but for rooting with CF is it required to have a unlocked bootloader? And how to unlock my bootloader because I'll be flashing some custom ROMs?
