I have done flashing and rooting in the past on both a Samsung Charge, Nexus and S3, but it's been a while. Ive used Odin, and the TOOLKIT, and am somewhat familiar with both.
I have had my S3 for several years, STOCK, STOCK, STOCK, and liked it just the way it was. I had a WIFI tethering app, SVTP that worked, and didnt take updates for fear it would quit working, well I accidentally took an update, and now it doesnt work.
Id like to reflash the phone back to a previous stock software, I forget which one I had, but currently here is my phone info
SCH-I535
4.3
I535VRUCML1
KERNEL 3.0.31
build JSS15J.I535VRUCML1
hardware I535.10
I believe I had Jellybean, or a 4.0 firmware.
How should I flash this back, and where can I download the files and the correct version of ODIN?
So i attempted to flash an older OS 4.0 i think, with odin, and It said ABOOT FAIL! and I kind of bricked it. Was I supposed to unlock the boot loader or wipe the device before doing this?
Now I got it connected to kies and am in the process of downloading latest Samsung OS to phone, so i can try again.
What did I do wrong?

As long as your not on the NC1 or NE1 baseband/firmware you can indeed revert back to an older version. And you do indeed have to unlock the bootloader to revert to a previous version of Android
In my personal opinion your best bet is the casual root/unlock method which will do both for you

so i have NE1 now. Why cant i downgrade anymore?
Tonight im going to reattempt to flash 4.1 with odin, unlocking bootloader first.
my only othed issue is i can find very few versions of Stock OS on web. There should be like 5 or 6 for this phone, ive only found 2 or 3. Please point me in direction of any stock OS files.

Because your on a locked bootloader and downgrading now would brick your device

Is there no method to unlock these firmwares currently?
if so does anyone have an S3 for sale that has older firmware?

Check swappa for that. I know brand new ones have the newest firmware, your better bet is swappa
And no they are locked down tightly, unlocking is nearly impossible

what if i soft brick it on purpose, can i somehow download an older version via kies once soft bricked?

No, you can't get around the locked bootloader. Your stuck on it

I believe even the 4.3 ML1 update will lock your bootloader. The 4.4.2 NE1 definitely will. There's no known way to revert back to an unlocked bootloader.

You are correct. I did a quick search and those who took the 4.3 ML1 OTA are indeed on a locked bootloader

ok ill explain the best i can for you.
Lets say for example that the bootloader was unlocked for the flex 2, if we downgraded with the current method that I did, then youll end up with a brick BECAUSE...after the 5.1.1 update, the bootloader was also updated, but if we had an unlocked bootloader, it would be no problem because then you can get right into fastboot since the bootloader is unlocked. however the reason my flex 2 bricked was because you cant downgrade bootloaders unless there is a specific way to do so, and if its unlocked...well since mine wasnt on the flex 2, when i flashed the TOT from ZV5 OVER a ZV6 bootloader, the rest of the partitions flashed, except for the bootloader end of it because it returned a "Version on phone is currently newer than the one being flashed" and declined the flash, since ZV5 wasnt build around the ZV6 bootloader, it doesnt know how or what to boot..
thats just a simple version, going into specifics is the Devs department, but in lamen terms, thats whats going on..if we had an unlocked bootloader it wouldnt be an issue because we could flash an older bootloader without the phone rejecting it. but once root is achieved on 5.1.1 then there will be a way to restore the FLex 2, the G3 you have although it may not have an unlocked bootloader, its been out for long enough to where exploits have been discovered, but if youre referring to upgrading and downgrading on Custom Roms, thats not the same thing, its only for official TOT's and KDZs or Official LG Firmware.
it would be like trying to flash a sprint variant with a tmobile rom....its just not built for it, its like having a Ford mustang with a V6 and trying to put a V8 motor in it without changing the computer/wire harness etc. it will fit...but it just wont work.
did that help for you to understand?

Ya i understand that part... Ive dealt with bricked phones... Ive recovered all but one.... Why are some able to downgrade though... In another thread soomeones says hes gone back aand forth a couplw times... Thats why i was confused..
So there's no way to root the Sprint lg g flex 2 (ls996) once it's on 5.1.1? Because we can't downgrade right? Wish I knew this before I bought one off Swappa.

Yeah I don't regret buying the g flex 2 considering I got it for $260 on Swappa. Really happy I got top of the line hardware for this price. I'm sure root will come or maybe a way to unlock bootloader so we can downgrade.

I got the 6.0 update on my stock AT&T G3 a couple of days ago. Now I am looking to root the phone, but I am confused with the rooting method because all existing methods seem to either mention Kitkat/Lollipop, or the D855 unlocked version. What's currently THE way to root an AT&T G3 running stock Marshmallow?
Thanks!

You'll need to downgrade using LGUP
You could always try KingRoot, however I'm not sure if it works on AT&T Marshmallow. I know it worked on the D855 Marshmallow. Worth a shot.

in reading the threads for lg up i'm unable to find the kdz for lp for the d850. i tried following the link to download official from lg firmware site and after inputting my imei it says not yet available...
any help greatly appreciated. TIA
my goal is to either install a custom recovery / rom
or downgrade to stock LP so i can root ... and then recovery > custom rom
edit: a bit of an update. I was able to get into adb and reboot to stock recovery. took a few tries. and ended up having to use adb over network (so i could keep the phone plugged in to wall charger, my pc charges it but i don't think very well so when i'd issue the reboot to recovery command it would start the loop again and i'd have to start over. finally got it to reboot to recovery. but now i'm stuck at trying to issue the fastboot boot <TWRP.IMG>
says "waiting for device" im so confused right now.... i did remember to plug it back into the computer after it entered recovery (lil green android guy with the text "no command" underneath)
plz someone save my ass! its almost 2:30 am here

Here's your problem, as stated in my back to stock guide AT&T models and the D850 is TOT File only. You won't ever find a kdz because there is not one. You only have a kitkat tot file you can flash.
Hello, I have a soft bricked (hopefully thats the case) Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F xme region (Malaysia) with android 6.0.1 latest stock rom.
It started when my device suddenly restarted and got stuck at the samsung logo (first screen).
I am able to boot it into Download Mode, tried reflashing with a fresh stock rom MM 6.0.1 with odin, flashing proccess was completed with no fail but it still stuck at the same screen.
I can't even boot into recovery mode so i can't wipe the cache partition, i noticed the Reactivaction Lock status is ON, i suspect that might be the culprit?
The things i tried so far:
1- Reflash with the latest stock firmware. Ticking the NAND erase all and repartition it with pit file also didn't work.
2- Samsung Smart Switch and Kies3. Flash completed but no effect.
3- Flashing any recovery files returns with "Custom binary(recovery) Blocked by R/L".
4- Sent it to my nearest Samsung service centre, they did try to repair it but only to be told that my S6 need a new motherboard the next day, which is out of my budget limit. But i am still hoping to find some other way to fix it, i believe this is just a "soft-brick" not a hard brick device.
Ideas guys? thanks.
Try to re flash stock odin firmware with erase all ticked ok ,
Good luck ,,

I believe it is doing that because you have a locked bootloader. Normally that shouldn't be a problem unless you're trying to flash a firmware that is older than what you had.
What stock firmware version/build number did your device have? What firmware version/build number is what you are flashing? If what you're flashing is older it might be downgrading your bootloader, bootloader can't be downgraded on most locked bootloader Samsung devices these days.

Don't remember the build number, but it was a 6.0.1 firmware, i flashed it with the same stock firmware version.. but maybe the build number didn't match.
I read somewhere about the engineering bootloader, i know it is not so easy or even possible at the moment to find one for my current firmware version, but let's say if i have it, will it be possible for me to use it to remove the RL on my device?

USB debugging and Developer Mode was never turned on that device.
Negative, i did try flashing TWRP but it was after it got stuck at the logo screen and only able to boot into Download Mode, the flashing came back failed with "Custom Binary (recovery) Blocked by RL" message.
Flashing it with the latest stock recovery i found online also gave me the same error message.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried booting to safe mode? If any of the apps that you installed before this happened were causing an issue or bootloop before you flashed are still there, it/they could still be causing the bootloop. Remember, I said that it doesn't wipe data unless you are upgrading or downgrading bootloader/baseband, what you flashed wasn't an upgrade or a downgrade so your data is there. Boot to safe mode and disable/uninstall the apps that might be causing the issue.

Alright so I guess I'm stuck in a situation. I recently updated my firmware to Sprint's latest one (CRD4) and I didn't realize that the bootloader was rev3 and I tried flashing a lower bootloader version. I got a fail in odin and now my phone just reboots to recovery (it doesn't fully enter recovery either, it just says error or installing update). I've tried flashing:
G955USQS2BQL1 (Sprint)
G955USQU2CRC5 (Sprint)
G955USQU3CRD4 (T-Mobile)
and it still says fail. I have no idea what else to do next besides taking it to Sprint but I cracked the corner of my screen and I'm sure they will charge me to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Unfortunately you are stuck on it. In the disclaimer is said you would not be able to downgrade to a previous version for security reasons. You will probably have to wait till the new Sprint version is available to download.

How long do you think that will take since this is my only phone?
You will have to wait until an Odin flashable package of CRD4 or another bootloader 3 firmware becomes available. Without a complete BL3 system flash you are SOL
I think I'll hold off on the OTA update until I hear some safe reports

Thank you for telling me. It gives me an error though when I try to download it from SamFirm
Code:
Checking firmware for SM-G955U/SPR/G955USQU3CRD4/G955UOYN3CRD4/G955USQU3CRD4/G955USQU3CRD4
Error: Could not send BinaryInform. Status code 200/400
Request was invalid. Are you sure the input data is correct?
Update: Nvm found it. Had to go to the last page
Do you have z3x?
You dont need z3x to flash the tmobile variant, but it makes it far simpler. Which version of odin are you using? If its the prince comsey you will more than likely get the mismatch error.

No worries. I fixed the situation. Thanks for reading!
I am clarifying this, this is s8 plus now stuck on rev3? I got an s8 and went to another forum thread and was told this isn't true. I am stuck on rev3. FYI, updato has the new s8plus firmware if you haven't got it already.
