hello guys
I have a sm-n900.....it came upgraded to kitkat in the box
although the performance of the phone is mind blowing but I feel it is a battery draimer......and also I read reviews on net that people with jellybean used to have their battery last more than one day with usual udage but in my case it is only upto 16-17 hrs
I thought of downgrading to jellybean and went to service cemtre where they told me that downgrading in not possible in note 3
I then searched at home and found it is bit complicated and if we do we may loose update to kitkat if we want afterwards
like in my earlier s2 (i9100) and note (n7000) I could flash any firmware anytime
but wat to do downgrade this to jellybean without loosing the possibilities of update to kitkat
plz someone
I know people are here having far big issues compared to mine
but I would be really happy is someone would guide me through this

The reason you are not getting any response is because this question has been asked 59 billion times a day since KK rolled out, and the other million plus members who are aware of it are restraining themselves through giant facepalms.
In short, no, there is no way to downgrade.

I rooted via CF-AutoRoot (as my signature indicates below) and there were no problems. For me, KitKat is working perfectly in every respect.
No, you cannot reset the Knox binary trigger. I could not possibly care any less about it at this point in time.
I plan to use the device until something better comes along, then sell it, so why worry about it?

You need to do some searching on the site. All these questions have answers that have been gone over and over.
Early 4.3 users could root their phone but Knox gets tripped. RDLV method worked then without tripping Knox up till MJ3 of 4.3. Anything above that as stock and Knox gets tripped. KitKat goes one step further in that you cannot revert to 4.3 at all, even if you are willing to trip Knox.
You can root the phone but AFAIK (I haven't bothered with KK - my phone runs brilliantly on v6 (4.3) Omega) you trip Knox anyway you do it.
Knox 0x1 may or may not doom your warranty - somecountries have laws that say Samsung cannot quirm out of hardware problems by claiming software changes. You may or may not care about Knox. Mine is a grey import from HK that I had all kinds of fun getting over to a non-freaky ROM, so when it eventually triggered Knox I didn't give a toss. I did root the phone with RDLV and changed ROMs several times before something that shouldn't have, tripped the Knox bit.
Now there is about as brief a history as you will get. Use what is in it to go search and find any more complete answers.
Always search before asking basic questions - at the least it means you will be able to ask intelligent questions, not ones you can find by looking at the titles of recent posts in Q&A forums.

They'd just boot to Download mode and see the Knox flag.
I don't care about it, honestly. If I ever need warranty assistance, I'd just hope for the best, but since it's Samsung, I'd expect the worst.

and 1 last question that is der any way to have mass storage mode.....as in mtp we dont see the files and folders starting with (.) and I have many imp stuffs on my sd which have their starting with a . and u all know that in mtp we dont see such files and folders.....so is der any way to have the mass storage mode back
plz answer......I know I annoyed a lot.....but plz
You should be able to use another mode. When you connect via USB, swipe down the Notification bar and there should be a Notify there you can tap to choose other modes.
You might need to go into Build Number (Settings/About Phone) and tap 7 times to turn on Developer mode and then turn on USB Debug. (not sure as that's always one of the first things I do)
Unless you are the only person on the planet who sees a need for Knox, you don't need to DL anything to do with Knox. Check in Application Manager and see if you can turn all of it off.

Interesting question. Do you find you can easily sell your rooted/modified phones?
I'm always concerned that people won't want to buy a rooted phone that's potentially been flashed 100+ times with possible excessive CPU over-clocking etc. I always try to put the phone back to stock (or as close as possible) before I sell it on.
Is it just me who feels those concerns?

Well, in my region, the vast majority of buyers don't even know what root is, so it's never been an issue for me. I don't expect that to change anytime soon. The Note 3 doesn't show any issues at all when reflashed unless Knox flag is tripped. Even then, the only "issue" is the warranty bit flag shown in Download mode and the loss of Knox container, which almost nobody uses. Out of a 100 buyers, you might find one that knows what root is and less than that who know how to get to Download mode, and even fewer who'd potentially use Knox, so no, not a problem.
Hi all
I bought a new samsung S4 i9505 ---without guaranty---
2 days ago the device started restarting and the sound goes dead and there can't be anything to make the device produce any sound neither from the front speaker nor from the main speaker nor even the headphones !!
I did a hard reset and voila -or i thought so- the device finally worked fine completely , until after about an hour when it started freaking out and not responding and the sound went dead again , restarting the device only sent it to a boot loop !
Finally today i installed a complete system using ODIN and it worked fine again for only an hour and then it went to the boot loop
I plugged the phone to the charger and powered it on and it worked smoothly but with no sound at all again :X
So can any guy help me sort this problem out please
Thanks in advance
you mean you bought a used samsung s4 with no warranty? and this is a wrong thread. it should be moved to q&a forum

Stores usually offer warranty.
So there's something odd at the middle.
Maybe you bought it from some dealer on the street..and those usually never sell you anything good.
Well the store did give me a warranty but only for software issues , and he said this must be a hardware issue.
So is this true ?

I asked WHEN, not WHERE.
When is time related. Where is location related.
Also, warranties usually are all-rounders. Meaning they offer service to software and hardware related issues.
So why did they offer only software?
Anyway. If it is hardware related then there is nothing you can do, except to change the parts.
LOL
My bad , i read it like where , and was like what difference does it make where i got it , my mistake
anyway as i said it is not a big firm or anything like that is just a small shop only providing software warranties
and as i said in the first post i got it about a month ago
i will try flashing with pit file
thanks for the advice

Didn't see that info
Anyway. What I am trying to say is that maybe they knew about the phone having issues and that's why they offered only software warranty (A bit paranoic, I know)
once the phone boots up try dialing *#0*# and let us know how that goes. This MAY be a kernel issue. happens when they probably have given you an S4 with a different model number, with a different firmware flashed. (sometimes i9505 vs. i9515 due to different chips) What is the model number shown in the download mode? i9505? And Knox Status?
The service tests all OK except both speaker tests
The download mode shows i9505
i don't know what this Knox is

So your bootloader doesnt say anything about knox? What version of android are you running?
KNOX cernerl lock : 0x0
KNOX warranty void: 0x1
i was on latest jellybean , tried flashing it with odin and the problem didn't go away
tried lollipop and it is just the same
when i turn the phone on it gives the booting sound hangs about a min or tow boots up , sometimes doesn't even complete booting, sometimes the sound stays functional for a few mins then stops sometimes it instantly after the boot stops
could it be some minor issue like battery malfunction maybe ?
or is it a big issue ?
i don't want to take it to samsung and pay the fix if i can fix it my self because i am not good at turkish and they speak so little english that i will not be able to make them understand the problem

First Charge your battery , your device wont be able to charge it but you have to charge using another A5 or any other way and then you have to try again to enter download mode. without battery you cannot do anything.

Thank you for all..
Hi! I think they can't verify if you have root your phone because the phone won't turn on, they don't have access to Download Mode to see if KNOX is triggered. So, Just send your phone to Samsung and wait... :fingercrossed: I think your motherboard is died.
Also, you may try to press the power button for 15 seconds at least

Normally, it's not good to downgrade your firmware. iPhone is different

when you downgrade lollipop from kitkat you must need factory reset in recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have seen videos for galaxy s4 and s3 but can't find one for our a5.
Bro, you need to run commands in terminal emulator. Google it, you will find it.
Hi guys.
I have a Zenfone 5 A501CG with Lollipop (3.24.40.87_20151222_34) and I rooted the phone.
There are some things which I would like to improve like better battery, better gps signal, louder volume on the speaker and get signal back after I lost it (eg.: I'm in a zone with bad coberture and I lost the signal and then I go to a good spot. To get the signal back I need to reboot my phone or I will stay like airplane mode).
So I'm thinking to install a CFW. I still have warranty of phone (5 months left) but if I have any problems I can get it to stock right?
My question is: what's the best CFW for my phone and how to install it?
Thanks for your attention.
Best regards
if you wanna use cfw, you must unlock bootloader (ubl)
and if you ubl your z5, you phone may caused random freeze screen
my solution is, if you wanna use the best ROM so far, use kitkat 2.22.40.540
or downgrade to 3.24.40.60
it is most stable of the L stable..
it will solve your signal problem..
also you can root & install xposed..
Greenify & auto starts will help you with better battery life..
how to downgrade ? ?
Search this forum..
& if you like KK. 54 is the best

so far there's still no solution of this freezing problem
some people say it's motherboard driver problem
some people say it's dnx and ifwi problem
i really want have dt2w feature but to do that i must ubl my phone first
i have tried every possible way to ubl without freezing but still can't do
so i just back to kitkat because i think kitkat is still the best and most stable fw for zenfone 5

no this is a bootloader fault and nobody can fix this but you can try it and when you have freez lock bootlodaer and go baCK TO STOCK not erveryone have frezz
I think I will keep the FW I have and wait. Maybe in a near future the booloader works flawless. Thanks for your help

If you have relock your bootloader, go to bootloader n check your ifwi, if your ifwi isn't 59.a1 your z5 won't freeze anymore

no.. there will be no solution..
we have known about this issue for almost 2yrs now..
till now there is no solution..
People have tried on their own.. without any support from asus.. but no results..
and as far as I know asus has not offered any solution nor support..
but funny thing is not everyone is affected by this..
you will have to unlock your bootloader to check if you are one of the LUCKY ones..
you can always relock if you are one of us..
yes I am among the unlucky ones..

But my doubt is if I have the random freezes it bricks the phone or not? If not I can return to stock right?

random freezing & phone brick are two different things..
& yes you can return to stock anytime you want..
before doing anything thing backup your data..
while on stock you will have to use an app to backup..
I use titanium Backup pro..
of course I have a rooted phone..
I suggest
1. root your phone
2. do a thorough backup..
3. saperately.. backup your contacts, SMS, call log..
4. move all backups to memory card..
5. move all your data from internal to external memory..
6. unlock your bootloader..
7. use your phone for 2 - 3 days..
if you have random freezing..
lock your bootloader.. & decide your next move..
for root, backup, bootloader unlock search XDA.. everything is already there..
I have galaxy note 3. I needed a good tutorial i can use to downgrade from stock firmware 5.0 rooted. To 4.3.
Reason battery drain too fast and phone always hot why using.
Please any help will be glady appreciated
See identical questions.
Downgrade may not work if bootloader is wrong.

Last i check you not the only one in this forum. I was in 5.1.1 your half way opinion fot me boot looped. Then i had to retore to stock firmware. If you cant help better not comment. And always don't think you know it all. MF . i can get off this forum just because of you.
You signed up to XDA rules.
Hardly my fault you are unable to read and search.
That is why I suggested mobile repair.
Brick or bootloop is you doing something wrong .
Goodbye.
