Was running Hyperdrive 21. I switched to Straight Talk and my data connection was getting dropped about every few days. So I decided to wipe and update to Lollipop. Wiped, and used Odin upgrade. Worked great. In my infinite wisdom I wanted to go back. So downloaded a 4.4 tar and flashed it with Odin. Could not root. So wiped and TRIED to flash back to Lollipop. now I am getting failed when I try to flash with Odin 3.09.
If I try to go to other menu. It says software updated failed.
In Download Mode

This is what I am trying to flash.

Default settings in Odin
Please any help would be appreciated.
Yeah, you cannot go back from OC1 to previous(as you know now).
Best bet is to get a FULL STOCK tar with PIT.... @muniz_ri has one somewhere I think.

Got the phone up and running. To be honest I did not do anything to it just let it set. It is running lollipop now BUT when it boots I still have the Samsung logo with the unlock picture. So i don't think it is loading correctly.

Yes is running correctly
Yep. You'll have the Custom/unlock icon unless it's completely bone stock factory image now. (you can install Xposed now and Wanam and fake system status though)

I see a lot of talk about Kingroot. Is it safe or trustworthy?

What I, and many others have done is go ahead with Kingroot, (reboot, verify root) and then download Super-sume app from the Play store. The Super-sume app will replace all of Kingroot with normal SuperSu.

Purchased a Verizon S4 on swappa. The phone was rooted - in the description it said "It has not been updated to 4.3 and is currently rooted on 4.2.2 ME7 baseband" I am upgrading from a Galaxy Nexus I rooted as I run stuff like XPrivacy etc..
I get the phone, install titanium backup and do a full backup. The OTA update notification started popping up as well. Go to reboot the phone and reboot into recovery. (Familiar with doing that n the Galaxy Nexus, so why not? I am a foolish man)
The phone reboots into what I now learn is odin mode and says:
Could not do normal boot.
Odin Mode
Product name: SCH-I545
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom

What has happened and how do I resolve it? Assuming it is fixable is it better to stay where I am OS version wise or accept the OTA update?
Thanks in advance for the help.

The guy who sold you it is an idiot. He attempted to use goomanager to flash a custom recovery. You can stay the way you are and not have a recovery, but if you want it back you should flash a no wipe ME7 Odin image. I did the same thing and is easily fixed

First off thank you for the rapid reply. While waiting, I have been research odin - kinda get what I have to do. First can you point me to the odin image you suggest? Would that file then go into the pda slot and get pushed to the phone? Will I have to reroot?

Here's the odin file for your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357235
That file goes into the pda slot
After that go into the Dev section and search for how to root your phone.
Do some research and see if staying on an older build like me7 is worth it for you. Either way, you'll have safestrap and root. Everything past me7 has the Knox bootloader and security. Just read up a bit that's all.
Until you decide flash that in Odin... Root it.... and grab titanium backup and freeze SDM and FWupdater and you won't get any annoying OTA notifications.
Edit
The no wipe images are here

Maybe you can get away with just doing a no wipe. Try it first.

Thank you.
The no-wipe did not work, but the other did. (Phew).
Phone is now operational and re-rooted. What are my recovery options with regards to backing up this current phone image? Having difficulty getting clockwork recovery to work. (Hesitant probably) Is sage strap a better option?

You can't use clockwork, or any other custom recovery, on your phone. Safestrap is your only choice.
Hi all, I recently rooted my Verizon galaxy s4 i545vrufng6 4.4.2 and ever since I did I have had some issues. The way I did it was by flashing the ng5 kernel and using towelroot then reflashing ng6. After I did that my wifi was stuck on the dull green light but I read on a forum on how to fix that by going into the system and deleting one of the wifi files. After I did that everything worked fine for a few days! Then I went out of state and when I got on the airplane my phone was put on airplane mode, by the time I landed and took off airplane mode wifi wouldn't work at all. I tried to do the same thing I did earlier but it didn't work. Matter of fact, i cannot even find that file anymore Wifi will no longer even go dull green, i can hit it as many times as I want and it will stay in the off position. I thought if I flashed a custom rom it would restart the wifi, so I looked up how to install cyanogenmod and followed the YouTube vid from wwjoshdew (30minute). I didn't get through the whole thing because when my phone restarted it had an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the Samsung start up logo and when it went into recovery mode it came up with a yellow triangle saying that system software is not authorized by Verizon wireless. I can boot it up normally or I can go into download mode but I can't access recovery mode meaning I cannot do a factory reset. I took it to Verizon and they said they couldn't help me cuz I void the warranty. If anyone could please help me get my phone back to normal I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!

Sooooo.... you soft bricked your phone by flashing an unsupported ROM on your particular firmware. Cynanogenmod or ANY OTHER pure AOSP Rom is not compatible with firmwares later than MDK. Don't do that again.
You need to flash one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 in Odin. Instructions are in the thread. You are going to be downgrading back to NC5 (the firmware version before NG6). This may fix your wifi issues as well.

Towelroot.com will work for you as far as root goes as long as you stay on NC5 firmware. Just download the APK, install it and go into the app to "make it rain"...profit.

Awesome. Much thanks man!!!!
So been on HD since the beginning and had no issues until today.
Installed rls21 per the OP and everything ran pretty smooth. Was unable to get HD Tweaks to load
and it would cause settings to FC then touchwiz home would FC.
I went into recovery, cleared cache and rebooted. Still had the same issues. Re-installed the rom from
the beginning and still same problem.
Downloaded new copies of rls21 and the UI and installed. Now my phone wont boot past the samsung logo with the lock.
I tried to odin back to stock and it is still stuck at the logo.
I can get into recovery and the download screen but cant get anything to boot after that.
It will let me run aroma and install any build but wont boot the OS.
Seems I've lost root as well.
I'm on an MDK build. Please someone help me figure this out...
Update: Tried re-partitioning and loading stock MDK firmware and also tried to load stock recovery via Odin.
Now I can still get into download mode, phone wont boot past samsung screen and when i try to enter recovery I have the yellow triangle and a statement about unauthorized software...

So I was unable to Odin back to MDK. Think I lost root and my boot image. I was able to Odin to the newest build fnk1 which is MDF.

I know the feeling, personally with MDK I prefer lollipop, but I use S Translator all the time now (Dating a Chinese girl) and the optical reader and I have found 0 apps that could compare for free so HD is my DD for now until we get an S4 Lollipop rom with those included.
hey sorry if this has been posted before but im semi crunched on time and just wanted to get this out there so i could come back to an answer later i have a verizon s5 and im semi exprienced in flashing but my girlfriends s5 is sprint and i was wondering if its possible to root the newest version (OJ4) and are your bootloaders locked or unlocked? because ever since shes taken the new update her phones been running extremely laggy for some reason and i checked some stuff she has alot of space both on sd card and internal storage and ive cleared her cache multiple times (works for a little bit) both through the settings and the recovery boot and she says she factory reset it and the issue is still there so does anyone have any way to fix it or can i root it and downgrade it to an earlier firmware a thanks in advance and would that fix it do you think? thanks in advance

Once knox is tripped it stays that way however it dont affect anything with the functionality or abilities of the phone. The Tmobile boot loader is not locked. I wouldnt count on kies or smartswitch working but i havnt used them so not sure. I do use my google account and all my stuff is restored with that.

You can always flash a full tar file to go back to whatever firmware you like. Flash away and if you have issues Odin back to the firmware of your preference.

Untick auto-reboot, then you have to hard boot into TWRP recovery (hold down home, vol+, and power) when the Odin bar is full on the PC screen and the phone screen. Then flash the supersu zip

Have you tried the patched version of ODIN? To go back to stock, you really should fully wipe the device or you risk running into a lot of issues with carrier settings, features, APN's, etc., not working.
Just to chime in about wiping. When I reverted back, and didn't manually wipe in recovery, I had no navigation bar. Even though Odin will wipe depending on which CSC you use, I'd still suggest a wipe.
