So I was able to roll back my firmware from the 60% update I got hit with last month. I did the firmware flash about two weeks ago. I only flashed the AP file. That's it. I had a lot of Google service issues after initial flash reboot, so I followed through with a hard reset. That solved that. Samsung pay is non operational as well, because I only flashed the AP. That was expected. I'm OK with that. Battery is rocking 100% and updates blocked.

The issue is that, I havent had an LTE signal since. It's all 4G, or h+. Does this have to do with the AP file? Or is this due to not flashing the other files, bootloader..Etc? Oddly enough, I also am unable to send .Gif messages now as well. I think somehow those two symptoms are connected. Everything else is running perfectly, and I can absolutely live with out LTE, since I get 4G. And .Gif MMS is a novelty feature anyways. I am just curious if I am the only one who experienced this, or if there is maybe a quick remedy?

Thanks, in advance.

Thanks. I was wondering if it was just that. Is there anyway, to go back to stock FW? I have those files. Or did they roll the bootloader forward, so I can only go to the FW files, that I'm assuming it was you that linked to in that XDA thread after that Google cloud link died?

No you can't go back to stock bc the bootloader is encrypted. :(

I didn't put a link on XDA, must have been another member. Do you remember their username?

Looks like their XDA screen name is vtechiswack. It was a very useful thread for me. Most people were saying just flash the AP. Flashing all 4 would wipe all data. So I did, just the AP and had to hard reset anyways. LOLOL, so yeah I'll try to flash all 4 as soon as I get everything updated on my computer, and backed up on my phone. I'll report results after, although I'm sure it'll work.

No doubt. I flashed all 4 this time around. All my features are back. Lte, .gif in messages, Wi-Fi calling, I am able to use the Samsung keyboard again. Waiting for apps and setting to reinstall. Everything seems to be as it should be. Ran an adb script and checked in debloater and everything that needs to be blocked looks good. :D Hopefully someone in the future is able to crack the bootloader so people can flash roms. I fear this phone will get very little support in that regard. I'm am glad that I'm not alone in keeping this phone.
Thanks for the help.
