Ok, so i'm stuck on the last step, odin keeps failing when trying to write the NG3_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5, i've installed the ND3, rerooted, rebooted and i'm in download mode again but no joy

EDIT: Scratch that, the primary download failed repeatedly, the 2nd one failed MD5 check, but the 3rd one worked like a charm!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] icey_kitsune:
its not that I don't want to root, I already have rooted and disabled certain apps that I don't want running, the main concern is if I following the base directions (not the troubleshooting section) would cause me to loose any settings/data on my system? I may just bite the bullet and go ahead and do the main part and if I loose things then oh well or have my roommate (who has only used android) help me do some backups so anything I loose I can recover.

I thought that you did not necessarily want to root because you said that you did not really need root. But....

If you are already on NG3, then flashing a kernel via Odin and using towelroot won't wipe any data. If something happens and you have to downgrade to NCE, then your phone will be wiped clean. Just make you have everything backed up before you start and you will be fine.

yea I want to root but I don't really need it as much as some folks might. im not on NG3 yet but I did attempt to take the update and it failed so it looks like I will have to go to the troubleshooting part of the post and I will end up having to wipe. hopefully the backup I am doing with tibu will work but somehow i doubt it will back up everything i want it to. thanks for clarifying though.

Downsides

I've looked and asked in several places but this thread seems to be the best place as of currently to possibly find an answer. Is the bootloader updated as part of the baseband, possibly removing an easy(er)/better/sooner hack of some variety? What did this update improve? any noticeable benefits or important fixes, or is it entirely unknown?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] win2lin:
Worked great!

Just rerooted my phone using this method, works great! Can't thank you enough for posting this!!

I also renamed the files associated with OTA updates so it won't get hosed again.

I do have one question for those that reinstalled Safestrap: what version did you use? The one I have is supposed to be for the ND3

Samsung Official Status and unroot

I stopped the NG3 OTA and froze the software update process. I am at ND3. My questions are: 1) Will this turn off the "Samsung official" status with the open padlock at boot up? 2) Will I still be able to unroot with the chainfire Super SU feature?

Stuck

Flashed the kernel in the first step, stuck at the AT&T logo. Should i reflash NG3 kernel?

Edit: Reflashed the NG3 kernel but still stuck at AT&T logo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
First step is the ND3 kernel . NG3 is the last step . Very important to follow instructions step by step
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ExBrasil:
That's exactly what I did. I tried to flash ND3 kernel first, which is the kernel in the third step, and it hung at the AT&T logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
Did you update to the latest rom first ?

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Sounds like it's stuck coz the kernel is not compatible with the rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ExBrasil:
Yes I OTA'd to NG3. Then I tried to flash ND3 kernel as per instructions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
Did your phone reboot on its own after the flash ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Uh oh.....hope att didn't change the current ota and blacklist the previous kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
You must make sure unknown sources and USB debugging are checked before flash . Also kies is up to date . Start Odin then turn your phone on in download mode let the drivers load . Get out of Odin and pull the battery for your phone . Put the battery back in restart Odin and start your phone in download mode plug the phone in so Odin cab see it . Once connected press Ap in Odin find your file hit OK then start should be OK
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ighost77:
I currently have ND3 (for both Baseband and build number).

Should I go directly to Step#6 ? Should I flash NG3 Stock Modem first and then apply NG3 zip or then go to Step#6?

Or do I need to go through Steps 1 to 6 anyway?

My phone is rooted and has a lot of AT&T stuff frozen with Titanium Backup. So I tried OTA, it downloads it, restarts, starts updating but stops at 25-26%, restarts and still has ND3.

Please advise, what to do going from ND3 to NG3 directly.

Yea, my phone rebooted on it's own after I flashed the kernel in step 3. I was on ND3 stock rooted with Xposed installed, and I OTA'd to NG3.

But after I flashed the ND3 kernel, phone would freeze at the AT&T logo.

I tried to flash the NG3 kernel hoping I would at least be able to get back into the phone but it also hung at AT&T logo. Needed my phone functioning so unfortunately a factory wipe from recovery got my phone working but I lost a lot of data and pics. (My own fault). Just wondering why it froze.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
Humm seems like a bad flash . This was my first flash on my s5 . But I remember on my s3 it got hung up the same way when I flashed a bad kernel. I think the kernel file was corrupt or incomplete. I had to factory recover also . This weekend I'll attempt a safe strap and rom.

2) Will I still be able to unroot with the chainfire Super SU feature?

muniz, another thanks for your support and time (and yes, a more practical token via paypal).

Just so other's know, the biggest difficulty for me was getting Odin running and detecting the phone.

I don't run Windoze so had to go find a machine that I could use, and getting Kies and the drivers installed such that Odin recognized the phone in d/l mode took some persistence. Between Kies and the driver download package from the Samsung developer site I was able to get it going.

I first tried getting it going with JOdin on my Linux machine (my primary, running Ubuntu 14.04) but I wasn't able to get it to see the phone, after a couple hours effort. This is what led me to digging up an old Win 7 machine to use.

THAT done though, no problems after.

First of all, thanks to OP. I followed the instructions and didn't have any issues getting root on my G900A. After flashing back to ANG3 kernel, I was having data issues. The phone wouldn't show the '4G LTE' connection, it was 4G and was having trouble with data. In fact, I would lose the network all together at times. I flashed back the ND3 modem and now I get the 4G connection with intermitent data, and sporadicly get the 4G LTE connection. I'll try flashing back the NG3 modem tonight. Just curious if anyone else is having data problems after doing this?

The kernel name seems funky, but I'm a noob...

Update: I've reflashed kernel and modem but still acting funky. I didn't wipe the davlik cache prior to flashing any of the kernel's or modem's, could that be causing me issues?

Trouble trying to update to NG3/baseband is NCE but build is ND3

I've followed the troubleshooting steps in OP's post since I downgraded from ND3 to NCE by accidentally wiping my system then installing the stock NCE firmware. Now I've tried to install G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar and that failed in Odin. Likewise with G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar. I tried G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip in stock recovery where it fails and wipes everything. I managed to find a post that has a nandroid of ND3 then I figured I could u date through OTA but no dice.

Out of curiosity how does one actually flash the OTA ?

IF I let the System Download the OTA, it will reboot, have an error and not complete the install. (using the stock recovery)

If I Push the update via ADB and use CWMR it tells me there is a footer error.

If I open the update with WinRAR or 7zip I get an unexpected End of archive.

Is the OTA itself Broken in some way (which is what it appears to be to me on the surface), or have other people gotten it to work on the XT1045 ?

After (visiting this forum and) reconsidering, I don't want to bother installing my update at this time.

Anybody know how I can revert those pesky dialogs asking me to install the update?

I think it's gonna do it every time I reboot.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] vpnair:
Delete the OTA zip located in /cache using a root explorer. Or you can 'fastboot erase cache'.

People have reported success with OTA using Philz recovery. But i suppose that requires flashing a recovery which is the same effort as flashing stock recovery. Note: A modified system partition may still cause OTA error on stock recovery, and you may have to restore stock system partition by flashing system.img from your stock firmware.
