You're not going to be able to downgrade to the lollipop bootloader. The MM firmware you are running is rev 3, the lollipop firmware is rev 2. You can't downgrade revisions.
If you want to go back to lollipop then you may be able to flash just boot and system images, but ymmv.

They are stock images so shouldn't trip knox.
Extract the required images from the firmware with 7zip then repack those images into a tar archive with 7zip.

You've got me well confused now. Why on earth did you delete sbin? Also by CM do you mean you had CyanogenMod installed?
If that is the case then it may be that CM has corrupted your EFS partition.
This is not the first time that someones build of CM has done this.
Did you have custom recovery installed?

Try flashing the repair firmware:

I think you should try factory resetting your device via recovery.

[Guide][Receive OTA after root][keep apps/data][GT-I9500][5.0.1]

a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.
this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff
This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)
This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!
Steps:
1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.
2- Download This file to PC and extract it.
3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.
4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)
go to check the system status, you will find it Official
you can now receive OTA.
Q&A:
What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.
What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.
- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.
- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.
and some times xposed.
- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.
- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.
and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data
you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...
you can root again at anytime.
check my thread for rooting if you want
im not responsible for any bricks
thank you...

Your welcome!
Hi there,
Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.
Just a thought.

At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup

If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel

Flash/ Install the calculator.zip from recovery and install the flashlight app. (See attached items).
You're unable to uninstall those app because of S-On. You can't make changes in your system. You've to flash a boot image that doesn't s-off your phone but it'll give you permission to write on system. Here's link- http://www.mediafire.com/?71jx66s6rz17waj
Download it and flash it via adb. (Fastboot flash boot boot.img)

After flashing boot image you can uninstall it permanently. Without any error

If you're implying that it is because of my kernel, then you're wrong.
The ussd problem was there until 1.26.720.5 but it was rectified in 1.26.720.6 .

Sorry to report but you got hit my the rmm lock again. You will have to wait 7 more days for it to reset again. Sucks I know I've done it myself before. Basically you can't ever even start to boot full stock with oem unlock on and TWRP flashed and without the bypass patch in place or rmm resets and you wind up in 7d flash jail.
A strategy that has been successful so far is to flash twrp leaving auto reboot off and then booting to twrp immediately without even ever loading stock, then first thing before anything else flash the rmm zip. Then you will be safe even if you forget other stuff. Also if you ever flash stock vendor.img again you have to reflash the zip as it changes stuff in there.
Solved
Thanks for your answer.... I Used the Last version of odin modded and flash the last firmware with odin and the phone now is as new jejeje....

regular odin can only flash stock firmware for ur model.. modded odin can flash combos or switch between U and U1 firmwares..
modded basically disables hash checks i believe.. u cant flash anything but allows for a bit of flexibility with stock signed firmwares

IMEI & Baseband gone.

Somehow solved the issue, by flashing stock from using Odin. But, then, it ran in to issue, showing dead android icon. after that flashed TWRP using Odin and flashed "no-verity-opt-encrypt". No, it's working with the correct ime but incorrect s/n.

You need to edit "serial_no" according to yours(create a new file without extension if you don't have one)
