So, for anyone who tried to flash, let's say the Nordic version over, let's say the French version of 5.0.2 firmware.
This should work with all firmwares.
This is what I did.
I had 5.0.2 installed, French version. I downloaded the Nordic Generic Version from SAMMOBILE, and decided to flash it over the French version.
So, download complete, now it's time to extract the files from the downloaded package. Ends up in error, file corrupted, but still after I press cancel on the pop up message, it continues to extract the tar file.
Ok, open ODIN, connect the phone [ Samasung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F ] in download mode, insert the tar file in ODIN and press START.
After the flashing is done, FAILED at the last line [ flashing hidden image ]
At this point, the phone won't start and on the screen it shows a message that I must flash a ROM with Kies, because there is no OS installed. [ FALSE: The OS is still present ]
Now, I put again the phone in download mode and flash with ODIN - CF-Auto-Root-slte-sltexx-smg850f.tar.md5 [This is the file that roots the phone]
I put the phone again in download mode and flash with ODIN - recovery.tar.md5 [TWRP 2.8.7.0]
NOW, and only NOW I let the phone restart. After it restarts, it is upgrading all the apps, and after the Finishing Boot message, it boots normally, I go through the set up guide and check the firmware, and of course it is : G850FXXU2COI3_G850FNEE2COI1_G850FXXU1COI3_HOME [ Nordic version ]
Of course I knew that I have other firmware since the set up guide started by asking me to choose the language, and the first selected was ENGLISH, not French.
That's it.
Good luck.
Flashing CF-Auto-Root-slte-sltexx-smg850f.tar.md5 and recovery.tar.md5 will VOID your WARRANTY by rooting and tripping KNOX [ 0x1 ]
The easiest way is the following:
Open the firmware image in total commander, delete the hidden.img file from it. After it, rename the firmware (delete the md5 from the end). Thats all, flash with odin is working now without any error, knox still 0x0.

I just tested your suggestion. It works.
Good find, nice job. Easier and no need to root or flash a custom recovery.
Good luck.

Flashing a custom recovery will trip KNOX. I said that in the first post.
You said you followed @nrg_52 instructions. I don't see how that can trip KNOX.
Are you rooted? Are you sure your KNOX wasn't already tripped?

Flashing an official samsung firmware with odin and this method (deleting hidden.img) does not trip knox. I do it approximately ten times already with this phone (lollipop firmwares from sammobile) and my knox is still 0x0. More hungarian forum member follow it, and it works without tripping knox.

Hi
I'm sorry for this noob question, Will flashing a custom recovery(only recovery like CWMR) via ODIN 3.09(is this the odin to be used now with S5) will trip yellow exclamation mark on boot and/or KNOX problem on my TMB S5 ? I'm stock non-rooted UVU1ANCH
Thanks

Unless something has changed since the Galaxy S4, I'm pretty sure you can just use an app called "Triangle Away" to reset the counter. Seems to have worked on my T-Mobile S5 since flashing the DeoDexed NE5 ROM and TWRP. Someone else here might know more than I, though. So I'd get a second opinion before proceeding. (Just to be sure.)
EDIT: Just read in another thread that there is a hardware tampering system in place in this device. So there might be more to this than I thought.

Triangle away does not yet work for the s5. Yes, flashing a custom recovery will trip knox. There is no yellow exclamation point on the s5 and if you are running a custom rom them you will never notice the difference. It is a hardware feature that is now built into the phone and there is no way to disable it.

Thanks for the answers, so I understand flashing anything on ODIN will trip the KNOX counter.
What if I then odin the whole stock UVU1ANCH tar again ? will it be reset ?
as far as i know, once it tripped u can not reset it back.

you can install any official firmware with odin or ota or kies
. Knox will only trip if you root the phone and or install custom, recovery.. ,custom rom, custom,kernel anything that is not signed by samsung will trip knox.
As far as i know,. There is no way knox can be reset as of this time.
Download the following package and flash step 1 with Odin 3.07 u most likely will have to change the file extension from md5 to tar, the phone will then fail to boot with an error, restart download mode then Odin flash step 2 and your phone will be rooted http://mediafire.com/?2uuje4isd2mwdwb
Firstly fantastic news, well done and thank you very much Ive bee searching and searching for a method to root my phone
Just a few questions first please:
Does it have to be odin 3.07? (I already have 3.09 here)
I'm assmuing the phone is put into download mode for both steps?
Where in odin do I load the individual steps? (pda both times?) Do I leave only auto-reboot and F.reset time ticked?
Finally does it matter which rom I start from?
My current is the stock rom:
SM-G357FZ BTU G357FZXXU1ANH7 Android 4.4.4 20.08.2014 107691
downloaded from samsung updates and flashed with odin 3.09
and am I right in thinking that if somehow it results in a soft brick I'll be able to reflash the above stock rom?
loads of thanks in advance
It doesn't matter which Rom, both times pda, don't tick anything just leave those 2 things ticked, 3.09 might work u cud try it, n yer flash em both 1 at a time, any more probs let me kno

Shame. I don‘t want to trow my 2 year warranty yet.
I rooted with this method and knox warranty checker says that flag is 0x0 and warraty is valid
Hello all.
I have made a firmware only file for the DOB1 version of software for those that want to upgrade with the mobile/pc odin way.
That way you can upgrade a knox 0 and keep knox 0 and root.
Just need to run mobile odin with the stock tar that is available and inject mobile odin and su
for reboot options have it go into download mode
then flash this firmware only file to complete the upgrade and then let it boot up.
Should be good to go.
Download the file from box here:

Thought I've read in many places that lollipop doesn't work with mobile Odin.
What happens here is you dont get the full version of lollipop, so technically you are still on 4.4.4. You will still be on the kitkat kernel. Plus the possibility of errors and such.
I would just wait till the dev have a way to root the full version of lollipop.
The kernel is written though with aboot in the firmware only file that you flash with Odin no?

No the kernel is boot.img, which is missing from you file. mobile odin can flash this but it is not recommended, also there is a bunch of necessary files that are not able to be flashed with mobile odin. That is the reason i came up with a way to root without tripping knox. Have you tried your method yet? if you did can you post a screen shot of your about phone.
The best way to get it done efficiently is pc Odin back to official 4.4.2 then take a two updates that will be waiting in line the Volte update then the 993mb Lollipop OTA putting you on stock 5.0.
MOBIL ODIN will screw you up if you try to flash the download able update .
I tried to cheat and go the easy way by reflashing stock 3e recovery with cf auto then I tried to use wannam xposed security hack to Enable custom to officiall status .
After I uses mobile Odin to flash the file from samfirm I was stuck in a boot loop .
Finally just full tar Odin flashed back to 4.4.2 then took Ota.
4.4.2 cf auto will root 5.0 just for reference nothing changes

Wait...
You had steps for updating?
I didn't find any when I looked.
I haven't yet tried this on my device but a friend that has it said these were the steps he did and it worked. I uploaded firmware and radio file since I didn't find it here. I can also make one that is the boot img in it to flash in regular Odin. Mobile Odin only injects in system I believe.
Do you have a link to your dob1 steps?

Yeah i had steps for updating and rooting on kitkat not lollipop. I had gotten rid of my s5 2 days before lollipop came out. :crying: But a friend has the s5 and he tried to do your steps on his phone and said that it did not work and was getting errors and the kernel was still on 4.4, But he did say that after he pc odin back to stock and took the official lollipop update he was able to use cf auto root to root his device on lollipop. He unfortunately tripped knox doing it with cf auto root. I told him to wait and stop by my house so that i can test some methods that will root without tripping knox, but he couldnt wait and took the plunge. He also said that mobile odin crashed when he tried to use it with lollipop, lucky for him that when it crashed it did not mess his phone up.
The best bet here is to see if you can take the official update, use pc odin to flash ne6 kernel, then use towel root and then pc odin the stock 5.0 kernel back to see of you still have root and not trip knox..
Be careful when you try your method with the kernel added to your package and using mobile odin. Anything related to kernel can cause you to trip knox. I am still having my friend come over so that i can verify a couple of things before i update my thread on rooting.
Okay.
I have found a process for this that works perfectly.
At least on my device.
This is starting with a towelrooted NK2 version with knox 0x0
I went and downloaded the full DOB1 image from SamFirmware and copied that to the internal memory of the phone.
Then I installed mobile odin pro on the phone.
I then in mobile odin pro open the stock firmware from above and had it set to boot into download mode.
I flashed and let it open in download mode.
I then used Odin 3.09 to flash the firmware radio file with no reboot.
Then flashed the kernal in a seperate file.
Rebooted the phone into recovery to let it complete steps.
Then rebooted the phone normally.
Everything seems to have loaded up okay for me now.
Will try for a few days and report back. But is seems to have worked okay.
So you're rooted in DOB1 with knox at 0x0?

Yup
Just a bit of trial and error going back and forth to find something that worked.
Only problem I am running into is that I can not update Su Binary with the app so far.
But it is giving me root access and everything seems to be working.
Okay I take that back.
I have su binaries and everything on it but it won't function and I can not update it for some reason.
I wonder if it is due to the mobile odin injecting ones that are too old.
I made some changes to mobile odin so it has the newer supersu apk and binary from 2.46
Will try and flash back and upgrade again and see if that makes a difference.
im getting an invalid md5 in pc odin. have you been able to flash this?

That's probably because the OP renamed the file after repacking it. You really don't want to remove the .md5 and flash like that if at all possible, because that md5 checks the file's integrity.
Not, trying to hijack your thread @TheArtiszan but I have the Recovery, Kernel, Bootloader and Modem already repacked here:

I know @The Sickness extracted and posted the modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin already, but i've repacked the Modem, Bootloader, Kernel and Recovery separately as Odin flashable .tar's for anyone who needs them.
I've tested them all out and they work correctly for me, use at your own risk though. For G900T ONLY
Also, consider this: Warning flashing Bootloader/Modem/ FULL FIRMWARE LOLLIPOP

Well hispasian kernel is gonna have to wait for the source to be released. But the trap kernel will be updated as soon as I download the firmware

Glad to hear that MHL is fixed! Thanks for sharing.
Edit: The issue I encountered below was fixed by chaging the extension *.tar[1].md5 to *.tar.md5 which I overlooked at first.
I am getting a "MD5 error! Binary is invalid" after I clicked on PDA / AP and browsed to the .tar.md5 I downloaded from the link in this thread. I used the Unified Android Toolkit, which starts ODIN v3.09 to Flash the ROM. In Odin the message is "MD5 Hash value is unvlaid."
Note that I just carried it out a a factory reset (using also the advanced option and wipe system, data, ...) Not sure if it was appropriate. Anyhow, I restated in Downloading mode (ODIN MODE, UDC START, Knox Warranty Void: 0x1 (4)) so I skipped straight to Flash Rom, which started Odin.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Thanks. The ROM flashed easily and after the initial setups I am trying to Root my phone. The Recovery-TWRP-2.7.1.0-KLTE.tar was sinatalled, Busibox Root zip files were pushed to be flashed, I think it rebooted to TWRP... not it is stuck when booting to Android, i.e. white text "Samsung Galaxy S5" over black background. I tried a couple of time to force reboot, now it freezes at T..Mobile in Red with white background display.
Another details, in the Unified Android Toolkit, I selected Samsung S5 / TMobile / Build 5.0 (the only choice besides 4.4.1 and 4.4.1).
Also, I thought your ROM was already rooted but initially I haden't set the usb debug mode, just the Developer mode (tapping 7 times on Build number).
I am a newbie, do you have a suggestion of what went wrong.
thanks,

Works like a charm. But my WiFi is still buggy. I believe this is a known bug.

Samsung Galaxy A3000FU
I rooted my phone with KingoRoot and I don't liked this, so i "rooted again" flashing SuperSU. I don't know how but I bricked my phone. So the phone won't to boot up and when booting, Samsung Galaxy A3 logo goes yellowish and constantly reboots. I downloaded this firmware in your post and flashed with Odin and my phone working perfectly now! Thanks a lot, it works and saved my Samsung Galaxy A300FU!!
Sorry if my English is a little bit bad.
The TWRP 3.0.0.0 for the SM-A300F mentioned in this article also works on my SM-A300FU...
I just flashed it to test it, and it works! If you want to flash it on your SM-A300FU you can do it safely.
Will this procedure will not trip KNOX? I've read many articles that rooting using ODIN may trip KNOX.

Yes, it will trip your KNOX counter, you can see it in download mode by holding volume down, home and power buttons at the same time when your phone is turned off.

But I downloaded an app (EZ Package Disabler Pro) that disables all KNOX apps and services, will this prevent KNOX counter?

I think that this app is not helpful in this solution because it blocks KNOX only in system, but not in recovery and download mode. So you must enter the download mode or recovery to flash anything on device and it will definitely affect the KNOX counter.

Then how can I root my A3 without tripping KNOX?
