downgrade to mj5 first, it's in the general section, hopefully you dont have the A3 bootloader.
Hey thanks, can you give me the link showing how to do that?

If you have mj4 I don't believe a downgrade is possible
Though you can downgrade from mi5 no problem.
The stock mi3 file is still up at the Samsung update website. I don't remember the link at the moment.

Oh OK thanks bro... I tried to revert once before and it always fails in Odin... Just making sure it wasn't me doing something wrong and that it just wasn't possible

If you're on mj4, you cannot go back to any previous version.

Yup I knew that was previously the case, and was pretty sure there was no workaround.
I hate when they do cap like that to the bootloader.
I'm going to take that as confirmation, as I knew back when mj4 first came out and I was maintain a Knox safe root thread. There were a few issues of people tripping Knox Even on a complete stock uprooted phone attempting to downgrade to run the Vega files.
Just hadn't looked into it since then wasn't sure someone hadn't worked around it.
Though why you would want to go back to mi3 is another question.

Yup, there are a few stock mj4 options (with or without root)
Check the development section.
I personally usually use Odin to flash the full official Samsung mj4 tar.

Just to go Security>Permission control > disable root permission
If you are using any third party root permission managers like SuperSu
Just uninstalling them would work.

Just use the mj5 restore as long as your not on official kitkat. If your on official kitkat then bestbuy is your only option.

post here when a custom recovery is found to be working on the AT&T Galaxy s5 G900a
Thanks to geohot over at towelroot.com we can all bask in the glory of absolute freedom. Until a custom recovery is confirmed we won't be flashing any ROMS so when one is found please post in this section. As well as any custom ROMS known to be compatible with the galaxy s5 g900a.
Anyone thought about SafeStrap yet? Is this a possibility?

Its not recommended to use other carrier Roms because when ota time comes, your phone can get messed up. Is your boot loader unlocked ?

The easiest guide I found to do it without root is this http://droider.eu/2013/07/22/morelocale-2-not-working-on-4-2-2-without-su-or-pm/ . Note I'm not responsible if you brick your device which probably won't happen.

Unlocked the bootloader and install the XT1052 European Firmware. That's what I did on my Moto X. I don't know if Polish is in there but there is a lot more than the 4 languages that it originally came with.

Can you give me a tutorial? sorry I didn't root for very long time so I am noob all over again.
What about OTA updates does the EURO Firmware , will it be getting OTA's for "L" soon? thanks maN!
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, if so please let me know and I'll kindly remove it.
I was wondering if there is currently any way to root a Galaxy S5 G900a (AT&T) on Lollipop 5.0? If anyone could clear this up for me I would be grateful. A simple 'no' or just a yes with a link will be fine.
Thanks!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using XDA Free mobile app
If you used the guides in the general section on how to root and downgrade then you're
probably using the OA1 bootloader which is downgradable as far as i know.
However if you used the OTA update, then you're at OC4 or most likely OF(if you have taken the new updates)
And there is no way to downgrade.
We're all waiting here,
and there are already existing threads about this,
Use the search function next time.
I have used it with no luck so why dony you use it and let me know when it can be rooted
