Can anyone help me with a link or point me in the direction to get the stock NE5 kernel only?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FireMedic138:
Since this does not trip Knox (and void the warranty), can I use this package to downgrade from stock unrooted 5.0 to this 4.4.2?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] youngpro83:
No I dont think you can.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FireMedic138:
I thought it would only trip Knox if you installed a new recovery. Since Odin bypasses the recovery, I thought it doesn't trip knox?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Yes, you should be fine with Knox as long as you use odin and stay on stock recovery.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
I wouldn't put too much worry into Knox being tripped. I had to send my Tab S in to a Samsung repair center for a warranty repair. It was rooted with Knox tripped. Then didn't say a thing and I got my Tab S back (verified the S/N).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Plus, I don't care much about warranty anyway.

Used S5's are very reasonable now and can be purchased through reliable venue's like Swappa.

Downgrade?

Can i downgrade from lollipop 5.0 to 4.4.2 with this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Only if you are on the oa6 build. The od3 build that just came out won't allow you to flash to a previous firmware.

Hi [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]. My wife's S5 is currently on OD3 rooted. Is there any way currently to unroot and get back to "official"
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
hey man.

Not that I know of. I'm still waiting for sammobile to post it. I know some of the guys get the ota somewhere else but that's where I normally look.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nyfl2004:
Thanks man. I've been searching all over for an ota also, but no luck either. Thanks for the quick response!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
After the carrier starts pushing the updates to the phones, that site usually will post the full OTA anywhere from 1-2 weeks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
Is there an alternate download location for this? i'm on vacation and that's the best time for me to mess with my phone... but it's slow DSL here and I get to 2mb downloaded and it says it's finished...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Only one I know if is the sammobile website for full tars.

But you need to create a free login to have the ability to download.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
so, when the OP says 'first boot will take a little longer than usual' what are we talking? I've been staring at the sprint spark logo page for 5 minutes now.

I'm about to pull the battery...

15 to 20 minutes isn't unusual for first boot of lollipop.

Oops, not lollipop, but wait longer anyway to be sure.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
This, for me, is a rollback to NE5 from lollipop. Hate lollipop, it's not stable, material design sucks... etc.

Mine says that too.

Care about anything on internal sd?

If not odin a custom recovery and wipe everything first including internal storage.

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

Flashing the full tar doesn't necessarily wipe everything.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

You can try without wiping internal storage first but a full wipe may fix it not booting.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
No, everything I want is backed up. This is step 1 to get to MOAR v.2.2 (nE5).

So, Odin TWRP and use it to remove everything, then Odin this rom again? or go straight to MOAR?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Oh, if that's all you wanted to do, just flash custom recovery now, do a full wipe and then moar v2.2.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
Thats cool to do coming from A06 lollipop?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Well, as long as the firmware took, we don't really need the stock rom to boot.

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Not sure how you're making out yet but there is also these odin flashables of NE5 firmware that include custom recovery without the rom, just the basic firmware with the rom stripped out. I've used them several times.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22018

The one that doesn't specify has twrp and the one with philz recovery has it in its name.

And while I think about it, a wipe of internal SD is necessary when going back and forth from NE5 to OA6 otherwise you might run into other problems.

I think its due to the different API levels and the operating systems are very different and write something to internal storage SD that doesn't play nice when going back and forth.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
Worked perfectly - after I found a damed USB mini cable to connect to my SD card reader so I could copy the MOAR rom!

Now I'm cursing Helium backup for not having a single bit of instructions on the app or their webpage. I thought I'd backed up to my PC but apparently I backed up to the cloud, and now i need to pay 5$ to get my files? ****!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Awesome and live and learn on the backed up stuff.

I use dropbox for most of my stuff (nothing private or personal of course). Its easier that way. ;)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
regardless of the location, a backup device that requires software on your PC should have instructions on the phone and the PC as to how to back it up TO THE PC! Sheesh! That's just f'd up.

The good news is I'm off Lollipop. Damn that material design crap to hell and take windows 8/10 with it.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
You have to flash a firmware newer than OA6.

And I mean NEWER. Your phone is blocked from flashing anything older since you took a firmware update or manually flashed to one of the latest lollipop firmwares.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sunflowerstarr:

Hello mates! Long time developer at XDA-Developers... But, I a new to the S5 community.

~Slenderman8090
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
In most cases, you cannot flash back to an older firmware when your phone already has a newer one. What do you have now?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Slenderman8090:
Right now, I have a corrupt version of OK1 Update (Lollipop).

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Unless it might have to do with not using the original USB 3.0 Cord, which I doubt is the problem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The problem is you've gone beyond the threshold that supports the older bootloader. They blocked flashing back to this version if you go beyond a certain firmware in other words. It has to do with low level security stuff and they've been doing this for a while on a lot of the phones.

Try flashing the full OK4 firmware located here instead if you need to get back to stock:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ZedDedd:
You may be on G900PVPU3BOK4 firmware. From what I've been gathering, that firmware prevents downgrading. G900PVPU3CPCA is the new Android 6.01 (Marshmallow) firmware, and with that firmware you can only downgrade to BOK4. If you have either of these two firmwares you can't downgrade to any other versions. Check out the "Sprint GS5 android 6.0" thread to root new Marshmallow (trips Knox though assuming you wanted NE5 for towelroot like i did)

Hey there,

so today I upgraded my phone to the KitKat OS, but I lost all my contacts!

I can't seem to find them). I never synced it to my Gmail account either.

How are you determining if the recovery is installed?

After you click "Install Recovery" you should do a NORMAL reboot. When the Safestrap screen appears, you then select the Recovery option.

If you use a "boot to recovery" program, it will cause your phone to boot to the stock recovery, not Safestrap.
