Sprint recently pushed an update, updating their Galaxy S5's to G900PVPU2BOD3. I soft bricked my phone and want to get back to stock. I'm currently running CM12. I have tried to flash the OA6 firmware onto my phone, with no success obviously. Does anyone know where I can get G900PVPU2BOD3 stock firmware?
SAME HERE!
I've been dealing with this for the past day as well! Why did I leave touchwiz, i had no idea i couldnt use the fingerprint scanner. No wonder i keep getting the fail on ODIN... im using the wrong stock rom...
I'm looking for it too. You and me and everyone else just has to wait. Hopefully sammobile.com will have it soon. I'm not bricked or anything. Just wanted to get back to 100 percent stock to try out building my own ROM. Now I have to flash everything through recovery lol.
WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I'm a newbie w/ android and I made the mistake to upgrade to the ICS version of Samsung note i717. Unfortunately, my experience with it has been quite poor due to the severe lags and hangups.
However, I have been unable to go back to the stock AT&T or Samsung version that the phone came with. I didnt save a backup of the original version. Is there any way to fix this?
I tried installing a ROM that some one made of the AT&T version earlier, but the phone would not boot after that (It would get stuck in the SAMSUNG screen at boot) and I had to re-install ICS to unbrick the phone.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks
Search or at least look in the development section where there is the Odin to stock AT&T GB

Hello,
Long time reader here. I finally made an account recently because I finally wanted to Root my phone and mess around with Cyanogenmod.
My question is this: I have an unlocked, unbranded Samsung GT-i9300 that I purchased from Newegg back in the summer time and I have still yet to receive any sort of update (still on 4.0.4). Can someone explain to me the whole stock updates scenario? I would have thought buying an unlocked, unbranded phone I would have at least gotten updates faster than the Verizon S3. Now.. I know I can flash Cyanogenmod and be done with it. Which I have which leads me to the last question. What happens if I flash my phone with the 4.1.2 stock rom that was just released in Poland recently? Will it work? Why wouldn't it? Does the baseband really matter as far as compatibility? (PDA? CSC?)
Thank you for your time.
I answered my own questions. Thanks for looking
I was so excited I forgot to elaborate a little.
I was successfully able to root my phone using cf root / odin, install clockworkmod recovery, install cyanogenmod 10 then re-flash back to stock using triangleaway, and a stock rom from samsung firmware using odin.
I had thought I bricked my phone when it was in an endless loop on the splash screen but I was able to get into android recovery mod and do a format/wipe/clean cache. *phew*
Over the past yeah I have flashed about 40/50 Roms onto my trusty original galaxy note. But now I have sold it, and there for i need it to be a actual samsung phone again. Now this part i have not tried yet, so I was hoping to hear from someone with experience in this area. Do I just go stop sammobile.com, get a ICS Rom and use Odin to flash it on there?
Hello everybody,
Greeting!
I've got Samsung S4 SSGH I337 bricked. I was on 4.2.2 until I was curious to get the 4.4 update. However, after reading on the forums it said you cannot upgrade to 4.4 directly (Except OTA which I never got). You first need to upgrade to 4.3 and then upgrade to 4.4 using the update patch. All went successfully until I though 4.4 seem no good to me as the root method was not available and I personally didn't find 4.4 to be much different than 4.2.2.
I tried to downgrade, without knowing a thing about Knox, by updating a ATT Stock Root MF3.zip update. It went through but with some errors, which I don't remember. I was still with the same 4.4 as the update was a waste.
I then tried to downgrade to 4.2.2 flashing the I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar with Odin. This never worked and I bricked my phone. The phone is not unable to boot and comes up with a screen - Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Kies doesn't recognize the device. It just keep saying "Connecting". I later learnt that it's the Knox Bootloader that is not downgrade able. I tried flashing the leaked 4.4 firmware for SGH I337 to no luck.
Please help!
Thanks a ton in advance!

Nvm guys...

Thanks

What was the fix? I just did the same thing you did and am not sure now to fix it.
Anyone found or have a dev rom for the Gs4 SGH-I337? My cousin played with his phone a while ago and it had a recovery problem so i used ODIN to flash the stock-recovery.img. Recovery successfully installed but now the ROM isn't working. I tried to add back the firmware it had (I believe 4.4.2 or 4.2.2) but now it's on a boot loop on the Samsung Custom screen. After boot it'll vibrate multiple times and then it'll stop vibrating but phone would get warm. I was thinking if somebody can help me find a Dev ROM I'll might be able to redownload the original firmware. That's what I did to my Verizon Gs5 (currently running LineageOS). Thanks if anybody can help

You have an AT&T variant, which means there is no developer edition for your device, and you can't use another devices.
The S5 has a special vulnerability that allows one to convert to developer edition, but it doesn't apply to the S4.
