Update: Root has been achieved, and Safestrap works - See here
This is a new update for SCH-1545 taking users to VRUDMI1. This is the stock factory image, taken straight from Kies. At this point only download for research or curiosity because this build has not been tested again for root access and you very well may loose both root and custom recovery by flashing this. So far I see a lot of Knox related stuff. Also, If you need to go back to stock for whatever reason I suggest using the VRUAME7 (or MDK) factory image instead. Both VRUAME7 and VRUAMDK stock Odin tars contained 14 partitions over which they would write over. However, in the newest build VRUDMI1, only 13 partitions are wrote over because it doesn’t contain a persdata.img.ext4.
Changes so far in this build:
1. VRUMDI1 DOES NOT WIPE THE PERSDATA PARTITION! (persdata.img.ext4)
2. ROOT METHOD FOR VRUAME7 NO LONGER WORKS ON THIS BUILD! - NEW ROOT METHOD here
3. New system apps are included, read more here
Nonetheless, if you want to rose root and recovery (maybe forever) then,
1. Unzip the file and you should have a tar.md5
2. Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA and keep Odin's default settings
3. Click start and wait for it to say pass

I'm putting a mirror up soon.
I would guess that whatever exploit is used in ME7 to get root is fixed in this build.
*Fingers crossed*

Kinda sad that we have to hope our devices are vulnerable.
Has anyone odined this over a phone with dmi1 already on it? I remeber folks with the international version having issues tripping the knox counter.

Has anyone attempted flashing the radios only? I'm happy on CM 10.2, I just want the improved radios in the new TW build.
Edit: I found a thread. Sorry for taking up your precious space.
Can I use this on a currently bricked device or do I have to use the stock version?

I flashed mk2 with odin full wipe today, since I545VRUDMI1 was rooted I decided to try and flash this odin image to check out the new build and then root it... but it keeps failing. I have checked and verified the crc values, they all check out. Any ideas? Also has anyone actually gotten this from OTA? When I flash back to bone stock and run the OTA's untill says I have the latest, I only get up to MK2. Here is Odin log:

Once you are on MK2, you can't flash an older release. MI1 is older than MK2, so you're trying to flash backwards.
What are you trying to accomplish? Since you're on MK2, root it, install Safestrap, then flash a custom ROM.
I suggest you read the following sticky thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501
And this thread as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578569
Flashing without understanding what you're doing will quickly brick your phone if you're not careful.
Good god I'm ashamed... I thought it was a newer build LOL explains alot!

Believe it or not I know what I am doing, I miss read something and thought I1 was above K2, and thinking that I couldn't understand what was happening. It's very hard to really brick an S4 if u are moderately educated in the subject you can get out of most situations. Even doing numbskull things like what I did. Was a long bad day of work, working on old out of date servers for 12 hrs can really melt your brain.

Im slightly confused?
You were still on MDK, the original firmware the phone shipped with after this long, but you were not rooted?
Your sure you were still on MDK?
I haven't played with odin a ton, but odin anything but MDK if that is really what your on. That is the ONLY firmware that has a bootloader bypass to allow a full custom recovery. Later base bands cannot, and must use safestap which only allows roms based on the kernel of the phones latest update (no aosp, cm, custom kernels, ect...)
More recent updates blow a fuse in the phone and once that fuse is blown you can only flash the current or newer updates, and there is no current way to go back to the MDK firmware.
How did you friend try and flash? What went wrong?
From the log, I hope I am wrong, but it looks like your friend already updated you phone.
But I believe it failing at aboot and complaining about fuses and binary switches is exactly what that means...
If he flashed Mk2 or MJ7 in an attempt to follow the info on rooting those, then those will be the only one you can currently restore to, in which case look up the guide on how to update to MJ7 and root, and follow the links for the MJ7 odin file, saferoot & safestrap.
Wait for someone else to confirm though. Hopefully I am wrong, and I would hate to lose an MDK device on my advice

Yeah that is the root method for the latest official firmware...If you had MDK you had the oldest firmware avalible (really really good thing)
Do you know if he used odin at all? are you sure you were on MDK originally? This would mean that you got the phone when it first came out and never took an update?
Again, it looks like your phone was updated to MK2 or MJ7, the latest official firmware. If that is true only one of those two restore files will work with odin as you can only odin to what you currently have or newer...
If you don't ever care about custom recovery and only want root, you probably fix it by downloading MJ7, and using odin to flash that. (As I said, the thread on how to update to MJ7 and install safestrap/HD11 will have a link for that file and is on the first page)
IF YOU HAD MDK AND WANT CUSTOM RECOVERY DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITH ODIN OTHER THEN MDK. Wait till someone smarter then me can help you figure it out, and make sure your friend hasn't already updated you beyond being able to go back to MDK.

Using big fonts doesn't help. :laugh:
You tried to flash ME7. Why? What build were you running prior to your failed flash? What did you try to flash that failed?
Probably CM, AOSP, or some other build that's never going to work..
At this point, I'd suggest installing Samsung Kies and using the emergency firmware recovery.
Then, before flashing ANYTHING ELSE. reading at least the stickies in this and the general forum.
What you did was completely avoidable.

Sorry for the big font!!! First post testing out the features.
I don't know why i was trying to flash ME7. I found it on another thread on here and a lot of people said it worked for them, not for me. I was running 4.3. I tried flashing SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5 two other unknown recoveries I found here and there.
I tried installing Kies. I got it installed and everything but my phone will not connect to Kies. I have tried multiple different downloads for drivers and the troubleshooting in Kies. It just won't work.
Any ideas??

First idea would be stop flashing random builds. You need to find out what build you are on, and flash that through Odin. Once you update to a newer build, you cannot revert back to an older build.

Hey guys, I need some help. I was switching roms and I guess i must have deleted my storage. So I had no rom to install and no backup. I tried to odin back to stock and it failed. Now my phone will only boot to odin mode but it says firmware upgrade encountered a problem. I searched and searched for answers and tried many things but no solutions seem to work. I have tried one click MJ4 full restore, and one click NAB full restore and neither work. they fail. So what can I try next? I have been working on this for hours and I have to go to work in 5 hours and need my phone. Please help.

What was on your phone prior to this happening?
We need the back story up to when you started flashing 2 separate operating systems onto your device (JellyBean, MJ4, TouchWiz KitKat, NAB).
You mention that you were switching roms...what rom were you on, and to what rom did you try to flash?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696396
However I never even started the write because I deleted everything on accident prior to trying to write the rom. I was S-OFF and rooted and I believe I was on 4.3.
Oh then the first thing I did was try to odin this file: N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5
That failed, then I tried the 2 previously mentioned one click odin stocks.
Oh and I was on TWRP 2.6.1 but now I have no recovery.

The MJ4 tar would've worked had you flashed it (you were on MJ4, JellyBean, but on a prerooted rom).
Having failed at MJ4, going with the NAB and NC5 (both KitKat), may have sent your system into a nosedive of confusion.
Tell me if you can get into download mode at all home + power + volume down).
Your version of TWRP is old, but that has nothing to do with this. You need to put your phone back to stock, then upgrade if you want to flash a KitKat rom.
The MJ4 tar file will put stock everything back on your phone, even recovery, so your TWRP will be gone...but you can get it back.
Let me know if you can get into download mode, and we can take it from there.

I can get in to download mode, but it has a triangle with exclamation mak and it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. However the phone still comunicates with oden. The writting process starts but fails every time. I did the 1 click mj4 and it fails as well.
And I don't need to hold buttons to get to download, it's the only screen the phone goes to no matter what.

Please quote me when responding, if you don't mind. It let's me know that you've posted something.
As long as you can get into download mode, you can do something, hopefully.
A bricked device doesn't get into anything, won't even power into that screen. It's called brick for that reason.
What happens when you do volume up + power + home? Nothing, stock recovery, download mode, etc? Also, power down completely, and remove your SD card.
You can try...
1. Flashing the tar file via PC Odin in lieu of the one-click package (perhaps at this point not a possibility given that you've tried to flash the latest NC5 tar
2. Taking into Sprint where a root tolerant tech is available, and have them put the latest firmware on it for you, over-the-wire style (speak little, play clueless, Google around before going into the brick-and-mortar location
3. Flashing the NAB or NC5 tar, same way (you already have tried one or both of these I believe
Ultimately, option 2 may be your best hope.
Good luck!

remove battery from phone..... now with battery removed reinstall battery. boot to recovery by holding volume+ and power button simultaneously.
if you can access any type of stock recovery do a full wipe from it. not if you cant try rebooting computer . try usb in a different port. sometimes its something so simple. could even be a cord issue. do you have another cord to try? any micro usb will work.

I do not have any recovery at all. I tried 2 cords, I'll try the reboot of computer now. Does it matter I'm on a Mac using vmware for win 7?

I think either trying it from a Windows PC (shouldn't matter, but why not try) or carefully selecting a Sprint store (root friendly tech, knows what he or she is doing) for an over-the-wire update, are worth a shot.

It is a possibility that you had a bad download and also are you using the odin you from chain fire when you rooted? I had the same problem last month. I spent 5 hours trying to figure it out. Turns out I just had a bad download.

I am downloading an nc5 .tar now. I am in the middle of the New Mexico desert on military duty so I am connecting to my phone as a hotspot and it takes forever. My DL speed is fluctuating between 185-200 kb/s. Do you know of any private links for either a nab or nc5 that would be faster for me?

Overnight, I downloaded the SM-N900P NC5 Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe. This morning, I followed the instruction in that XDA post, plugged the phone, hit start, and crossed my fingers. Fifteen minutes of sweating later I had a factory stock phone again and I let out that big breath I was holding. Now, I am deciding if I want to root again and try another wifi hack. Thanks for the help. You are a lifesaver...a phone save for sure.

Congratulations! Your Knox flag is still 0x1 though so you are not "factory stock". Once you root and/or install a custom recovery that flag is set and can't be reset, at least not on our phones yet.

Go into the Android Dev section for the Note 3. Freeza, Sac23, Joshbeach all have NC5 Roms that have the wifi hack built in. Also, Josh has a Mod section and has the hotspot hack itself.

First, techguy2002: Please stop recommending this when you don't know what state people are in. You WILL cause people to brick their phones. I know you're trying to be helpful, but your instructions apply to MK2 only.
OK, so OP is on ME7. What did you try to flash, specifically what image? What showed up on the phone when the flash failed?
You should start with trying to flash the ME7 image from here.
Then, if that fails, post the full errors from ODIN and the phone.

When you say "it won't work", what do you mean? What image did you try, what errors appeared in ODIN and on the phone?
Worst case, you could try flashing a newer ROM image, for example MI1, MJ7, or MK2.
they wont pass in odin

None of those images seem to "pass" in odin. i always get the quoted message and i get binary error. :S The thing is, even the recovery mode isnt working, the only thing that works is the download mode.

We can't help you without more information. For example, the following:
1. What build was your phone on when you started?
2. What file are you trying to flash? What build is it?
3. Did you verify the MD5 of the download prior to trying to flash it?
4. What shows up in ODIN when you try to flash it?
5. What shows up ON YOUR PHONE when you try to flash it? Without knowing that, there's no way to guess what's failing.
What you're saying sounds like either you're trying to flash an incompatible image (i.e. trying to flash MDK on a ME2 phone), or you've got a bad network connection that's corrupting your downloads. Having the full set of diagnostic information will help figure out which.

What you're saying sounds like either you're trying to flash an incompatible image (i.e. trying to flash MDK on a ME2 phone), or you've got a bad network connection that's corrupting your downloads. Having the full set of diagnostic information will help figure out which.

Totally softbricked my cousin's phone the exact same way. Could you post a link for that PIT file? I'd like to try the method that you tried to get this working again. Thanks.

Okay, I popped the PIT in there and tried to flash Verizon MJ7. Got a fail. Here's the details.

Any ideas here, guys? I'd really like to fix this for my cousin. It's frustrating because I know it's only soft-bricked but no remedy I have tried thus far has worked.

Fused:6 - your phone has the NC5 bootloader.
Binary:5 but you're trying to flash MJ7/MK2.
At this point you can follow Surge1223's directions to back down to MK2 then upgrade to NC5 rooted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726868
Or, do the same thing using techguy2002's directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2763834
