I could use a lil help... I've tried everything I can think of and still have made zero progress restoring my galaxy s5 to stock. I've ran the stock partition, modem and kernal files with Odin but still bricked.. it's a sm-g900a-oc4 and has had the ota to 5.0. Lollipop. I know I can't downgrade and root, that's not what this is about. I just wanna get it to breathe again like normal.

Hi, i'm desperate for help... I've been trying to unbrick/unroot my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, and I think I have managed to revert it back to the stock rom through ODIN. However, I cant start it up and it keeps going to the recovery and saying: FAILED TO MOUNT E:/System and things. I don't know where to go after this... Can anyone help?
In order to assist you a bit more information is needed. What Carrier ? What Recovery ? What version of Android ?
I think it is stock recovery, 4.4.2 (Havn't been able to get past the recovery), and verizon. Thanks for helping me.
I would suggest that you post up in the first thread linked below. As the members there have your specific device, and will be better able to assist you. Also you may want to review the second link.

I believe there is an update for my phone and was looking for assistance in learning how to do that. I have a galaxy S4 Sprint
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to ask for help is here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint. They are the experts on your device. You'll have to remove root, most likely by flashing your current firmware version in Odin. But check out that forum.
Good luck!
i have recently got an s5 from cricket and did a software update and it upgraded to LOLIPOP.
I don't like the LOLIPOP upgrade and want to downgrade to KIT-KAT 4.4.2. I have been looking for the stock firmware and thought I found it but went to in stall it it failed. So my question is has anyone found the or has the original stock KIT_KAT 4.4.2 firmware? Any help will be apprecated

I have a galaxy s5 g900a with 4.4.2 rom. I have tmobile service and i want to install tmobile firmware since I have service with tmobile. I was able to root the phone. I then used Odin to try to install tmobile 5.1.1 firmware but it keeps on giving me a fail. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or what I am trying to do is even possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello
I bought a new/ used S5 (to replace my rooted S3) and had hoped to root it as well. Towel root made rooting very easy back then (for my S3) and now as I read the threads with people having the same S5 config as mine, there seems to be no way to root......not even by downgrading to 4.4. Is this correct ?
Being new to this, I am a bit confused about the other custom ROMs being discussed. Even though the custom ROMs give me new and different functionality.....are they another avenue to accomplish ROOT and more ?
Thanks much
