Hi,
I'm selling my S5 so I need to remove the ROM that installed from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
and return to stock. Can someone point me to instructions for this process?
Thanks.
Stock ROM for the model number of your device
Odin3 tool.
Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver.
Charged rooted or non rooted Samsung galaxy S5.
USB cable and Windows PC
Backup your important data before flashing, in case of this process corrupt your data. [important in downgrading] Download stock ROM file (make sure you download the right FW for your phone's model number) from SamMobile or Samsung-Updates and unzip it only one time (the extracted firmware file has *.tar.md5 extension). Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver (Link below) Download Odin3 tool and unzip it (Link below) Close Samsung Kies and disconnect any device connected to USB ports of your computer.
Run "Odin3" as administrator.
Click on PDA button (AP if you are using Odin3 v3.09) and navigate to the *.tar or *.tar.md5 firmware file (it will take a few second to check firmware file, if you are using Odin3 v3.09).
- If the Zip file contains more than one *.tar file then they will be labeled with PDA, Phone and CSC. Put them in the corresponding section of Odin3
Shut down your device and make sure it's completely off. Put your device into download mode by pressing and holding (Volume Down + Home + Power) buttons then Press Volume up to continue.
Connect your galaxy S5 to PC using USB cable and wait until you get a sign in Odin (ID:COM section) and "Added" in message box. Make sure re-partition is NOT MARKED[very important]
Click Start and wait a few minutes until you see "RESET" or "PASS!".
If your device stuck in bootloop, factory reset it from recovery mode.
Instructions were taken from wolfdroid, i followed them an installed the stock rom on my s5.
Hey guys, I did a search on the topic but to no avail.
I have a pretty specific probably and am willing to pay a few bucks to anyone who can help me fix this issue.
I work for a mobile repairs place and we have an S4 9505 that a customer bought in, he took it upon himself to flash the latest firmware from sammobile which has resulted in the WiFi not working, you hit the button in the notifications panel and it goes half lit but not connected and never moves past that point. I tried flashing a different firmware and the WiFi fix from the WiFi fix and firmware post and that works initially but after one or two connections to a WiFi, it greys out again.
Thanks in advance.
Anytime there's wifi connect problem I've found that its the kernel.
Well, it is official firmware so there shouldn't be any software bugs. Unless, maybe, he flashed the wrong firmware on the wrong phone model.
check the wi-fi mac addres or make and efs restore, that happend when the files in efs/wifi/ where messed with, and thats a bad thing, flash a custom rom or flash a custom kernel see if it works
@Nationalmaverick
Hello,
You should try to flash the latest stock Lollipop firmware available.
-Download Odin 3.10 here
-Download and install USB drivers (skip this if you already have Kies or drivers installed)
-Download the firmware I9505XXUHOB7 here
Open Odin3.ini (found in extracted Odin package) and edit PhoneBootUpdate from 0k to 1, save and close. Then:
Extract downloaded firmware
Download and extract .pit file from the attached zip
Open Odin 3.10, choose PIT and load the extracted file
Load following files from extracted firmware: BL in BL, AP in AP, CP in CP and CSC in CSC
In Options, tick Repartition & untick Autoreboot
Put the device in download mode: power off->Volume down + power key->confirm with Volume up at Warning screen
Press Start
Once done pull battery out and put it back, then press and keep pressed Volume up + power key (you'll see a blue text, "Recovery booting"). Once in recovery (navigate with Volume up/down & power key to confirm) choose "Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm with "Yes", then choose "Reboot system"
Now your WiFi should work

1)To be say honestly downgrading is not officially supported by Samsung also But yes you can successfully downgrade to 6.0.1 from 7.0 (I personally downgraded to 6.0.1 once successfully due to issues on stock 7.0)
2)You only need to follow the guide as instructed carefully Also the version of 6.0.1 MM you will choose to downgrade to should be latest dated (I mean the latest 6.0.1 firmware for your device and country available on Sammobile.com casually)
3)Hence you can find some instructions within my own Post in which i mentioned step by step installations instructions (Go To Page No 65 And Find My Post In Reply To Okiera29 There Regarding Downgrading To MM From Nougat)

Ok thank you for your reply, I understand. I also had some trouble with drk verity fail issue when I factory reset because I run into issue with my efs, it was failing to boot ,but after searching the internet I found out how to fix the efs issue and then I flash stock over and then run into trouble with drk verity fail issue, but found a script to bypass this error ,but I read that whenever I flash or factory reset I will run into this drk verity fail issue again, so I must flash this script to bypass this error.
So my question after all i have explain is, will it be a problem to downgade to 6.0 because of those previous issues ?

1)Can't say exactly without trying or downgrading firmware as i said already neither samsung nor any community will officially support downgrading of firmware as it may cause various baseband and imei related issues due to downgrading of bootloader
2)But for safety you can take full Nandroid backup of your current stable rom using TWRP and Try to downgrade firmware at your own risk
Regards

What version of Smart Switch offers initialization for SM-N920C Note 5's? The latest version doesn't include initialization anymore at all, and an older version I tried stated that initialization was not supported for Note 5's.
All right, I'll see what i do.
Thank you very much.
