Ok...I am ready for the abuse. I just don't want to screw this up. I have downloaded numerous files in anticipation of this all making sense. I know it is something so simple to do but I am just not getting it. Here is the deal. I am on Jellybomb which we all know is MJ4. I want to move to KitKat. I am thinking Freeza's Deodexed Stockisk rom. I know once I am there it should be fairly straight forward to flash Josh's KitKatKiller when it becomes available.
I am just hoping somebody can provide clear instructions on exactly how to do this. Thank you for any assistance provided.

Do I follow those steps word for word or do I need to be unrooted stock first?
Did u figure this out yet? I'm in the same boat and haven't quite made the full transition from HTC as far as knowledge goes.
What I'm thinking is just flash to NAB in odin then the twrp recovery... Maybe the other way around... Still waiting on a more transparent set of instructions.

I was way over thinking it. You just have to Odin stock Mj4 then Odin stock NAB then follow the directions in the following post and you will be golden. I would do a factory reset after mj4 Odin.

Why not just go from og MJ4 to NAB? Why go to stock? A bootloader is still defined by what it is even if its modified a bit, idk, guess it doesn't hurt anything not too right? lol :cyclops:

Alright, so revert to stock MJ4 in odin, then NAB, then kitkat rom, then cf-root, TWRP, === Profit? When do you install the stock kitkat? So many posts refer to specific scenarios so it's getting me more confused here. It's early for me yet.

No, NAB is the stock KitKat rom.
1) Odin MJ4
2) After all done booting up (I would suggest) Booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset. You get into stock recovery by holding volume up, the home button and the power button.
3) Odin NAB
4) Follow the directions in this post exactly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50505723
5) Once you are all done doing that, you will be on Stock rooted KitKat. From there you can flash any new roms the same way that you did on Jellybean.
Ahh, okay. I thought NAB was bootloader only. Will give it a shot here in a few minutes. Gotta work up the caffeine bravery and hide my cat so he doesn't spontaneously combust.

It looks confusing because on step 2 it says Download Engineering Bootloader N900PVPUCNAB. That file is the bootloader for NAB. The rom is the other file that I attached "Nab_Home".

It's okay, I've guessed through worse many times, lol. So, MJ4 and NAB are the only one's installed through "bootloader" section in odin right? The others done in PDA? If not then where?

Well, I installed MJ4 stock through bootloader and just get "System UI has stopped". I'm just gonna factory reset now and then do NAB, That right? Or should I attempt to install MJ4 again through PDA? It boots, I'm just worried about the system-ui thing. I know all that will be reflashed, but just for the sake of feeling good about it. lol.

If you would've responded like 2 minutes earlier, haha. I'm 95% sure it won't hurt anything by re-installing MJ4 over MJ4, even if it is a waste of time. Will be onto NAB after MJ4 installs and I wipe it again...

Here is the MJ4 firmware in a flashable tar. It includes bootloader, modem, baseband, etc.
This will NOT wipe your phone or data. It does not flash a ROM, only the firmware. This will update people to the MJ4 baseband.

I'm sure you can flash it with Mobile Odin, but it's not a recovery flashable.
Careful with mobile Odin. Last time I tried bit with a modem it didn't work so well. Had to reflash whole tar from desktop to get phone back in working order. Unless they fixed it since then.

Yes it did. Maybe I should try it again, perhaps use a regular usb 2.0 cable? For some reason this 3.0 cable doesnt get along to well with my computer. First time rooting it I almost bricked it because it kept failing then I got the firmware upgeade encountered an error message when trying to boot my phone up but luckily finally it worked and all was well.
I am supposed to be putting this in the PDA slot of odin and leaving the file zipped exactly as it was when I downloaded it, correct?

The stock cable should be adequate if not good quality. Compared to the Epic 4G and cable for that I had before...
Flash .zips. Odin .tars .tar.md5 .pit or whatever it is properly. Make sure you have the correct .tar in the pda slot and use an updated version of Odin3 (3.04) and leave all the default settings as is, aside from the PDA .tar, hit start.
Edit: Also make sure to check the MD5, maybe you got a corrupt download.

You know, Ive been following the thread about HD12 for the last couple days and it looks really sweet
but I didnt want to update to MJ7. I guess I might as well know. Thanks for the info
My fear is I am SOL... Anyway, was running the GPE, and wanted to go back to HD14... Made the mistake of formatting data via TWRP, and now I am borked.
So...From reading basically figured out I need to ODIN back to sock MDK, and factor reset via stock recovery. Here's my problem...
I downloaded the wilco stock MDK TAR, and then went to flash it in odin 3.07... I am able to get in to download mode, so I think Boom! Great I am on my way... Not so much...
I go to flash the TAR, I get FAILED on odin screen, but now my phone in the top left corner says "Start" in red, and I have a little progress bar under "Do not turn off target" warning.
Am I totally screwed? Does anyone have a link to an official MDK odin file?
Thanks...

Save your data, then try doing a Factory Reset, see if takes you back to official. If your KNOX is 0x1, then you can flash a fresh copy of 4.4.2 through a recovery like twrp or cwm. If you where rooted, Towel Root and others will not root 4.4.4 yet.

Cheryl, I had the same problem when trying to go back to stock 4.4.2 from being rooted. Sometimes it doesn't stick the first couple of times, I don't know why. First, get a fresh copy of 4.4.2 NC5, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 this is a complete copy OS/bootloader/baseband. Just follow the instructions on the thread. Here is a link for Samsung drivers, and Odin v 1.85 http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 I think Odin v 1.85 works best.

You download odin than downliad twrp than run odin and check ap and select the twrp you downloaded. Put your phone in download mode and start odin. One thing you need to watch out for is after the process finishes the phone reboots and you need to have it go immediately into recovery instead of booting up.. if you need more info you will need to do some reading there are plenty of how toos and i can't type this much on my phone

No you need to flash the stock bootloader. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tef6vr2iuieasqq/NC5_OEM_BL.tar.md5?dl=0
Then flash stock Unrooted NC5 because the update will still see that you were modified and not stock. There is two places to look if you are official. 1st place is under settings about phone. The other place is in download mode. If both places don't say official or Samsung Official then it won't update. Here is a stock one click nc5 rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51848277

Thanks, i'll flash the bootloader first (hitting bootloader icon in odin) then the nc5 rom next (hitting pda in odin). the last question is when I flash nc5 rom i won't actually lose anything right? such as my current config or files.
Thanks,
John
First thing I forgot. In order for the bootloader to stick do a cold boot into download mode. To do that completely shut off phone the wait about 30 seconds after the button lights turn off then hold power+home+volume down button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo.
And about the one click I would back up everything! You might loose stuff. Can't promise. I used the one click earlier and didn't loose anything. But you I took a chance. I also made a nandroid backup.
