[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealth_nightshade:
Thanks for the reply, I'm new to android that's why there are some things that confuses me. Here are the following:

Is it possible to extract the image of my device so i could restore it in the future like an out-of-the-box-state from the carrier and also not root like its really new?

When flashing with Odin, does the phone need to be rooted?

Also, based on the videos and other tutorial I never came across about bootloader and modem. What is the use of that?

I got this file "NZC-G900IDVU1ANE2-20140611172140.zip" from this website

[/url]http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900I/NZC/[/url]

they said that it is not modified from the carrier.

All I want is to Downgrade from official stock marshmallow to official stock kitkat based on the mobile phone provider

and

to backup my current official marshmallow firmware. Could you help me with that?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
For a complete system backup and restore, you need to root your device. Then you can do it via custom recovery ... Or backup apps.

For flashing a stock firmware with Odin, you don't need root.

Bootloader is the first started part of the firmware which boots the rest of the firmware. This bootloader was changed by Samsung for the different Android versions.

The modem is the part of the firmware responsible for mobile connectivity.

If you don't care about Knox, you can flash TWRP recovery, create a complete backup, boot into download mode, flash the stock ROM in Odin, reboot into download mode, manually flash KK bootloader and modem in Odin, turn off the phone. Then restart the phone.

I want everything to be stock so I dont want that knox thingy to be changed. My phone is Samsung S5 G900I and everything is still stock, it just got updated to marshmallow which I want to downgrade to Kitkat.

Im in marshmallow, can I go straight to Kitkat in Odin without downgrading to lollipop? Also, at my current setup which is stock from the provider may I do that flashing procedure immediately?

And about the bootloader and modem do I still need to do something about it before/after flashing or is it already bundled in the firmware file?

I just want to go back to stock KitKat that came with the provider

Sorry about too many question, I dont know anything about android and none of the tutorial is giving the specific answers to my question
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Then you should only flash stock firmware with Odin.

And yes, you can downgrade from MM to KK directly.

So get the firmware tar file for flashing in Odin. Get the KK bootloader and modem tar files too.

Then boot into download mode and flash those files with Odin.

Then turn off the phone. Then start it normally to boot into KK system.

Good luck!

Later for some other reason I want to reset the media storage data again but I have it backed up with titanium again. Then the problem comes. It won't load any media data from external sd card that makes me can't see any pict from there with gallery or music file with samsung music. I tried to recover media storage again with titanium but it doesn't work. I'm on g900h marshmallow. Note that I even tried factory reset but still doen't work.

Did not help. Device stays in boot loop. After pressing 10 seconds power to turn it off, it starts and boots endless. Only way to get it off is by removing the battery. Also it gets hot near the display.

Next step trying to flash firmware? Or is the power button broken (like at my old S3, still have it, sometimes it works sometimes not)?

Is there any way to get the data from this device? Recovery is possible and working fine.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Yes, you can format the different partitions of your phone's sd card.

Usually it's not needed when flashing a new firmware.

If you want a clean flash, use the wipe options in your recovery. (Hold Volume UP + Home + Power till the recovery entering message is displayed)

Wipe system (and wipe data = factory reset) should do the job in most cases.

Has anybody tried rooting a Galaxy S5 with Marshmallow using KingRoot?

why?

and why would u want to if theres already an easy and proven method to root mm
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiannist:
Because the easy and proven method makes knox 0x1. In my country, Samsung does not honor warranty, if knox is 0x1. On the other side, if KingRoot succeeds, knox stays 0x0.

cant see how it would not trip knox, chinese devs btw, info gets sent to their servers, they say it can root the s5 but no mention of knox.

i dont think any experienced users here have tried it which tells me you shouldnt either, the few that have say it failed to root. which might mean it wont brick ur device.

maybe u can give it a try and let us know or wait after warranty expires which is usually a year for where im from
