Hi all,
Can someone please point me to a download of the Verizon Stock MDK Firmware Please. I need to un-root and start over because Recoveries aren't loading for me it always goes to Android System Recovery 3e. Thanks in advance.

Hi !
I'm trying to go back to full stock and I just want to make sure I'm not making a mistake
According to this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41977487
I can either download the MDK or the ME7 or the MI1
I have currently a custom ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41977487
with the ME7 baseband (radio)
which one should I flash under ODIN ? (MDK, ME7 or MI1)
Thanks for your help !

Your phone appears to have the MDK bootloader, so you should flash a MDK factory image. Don't ruin it by installing later releases.

You can't flash AOSP roms on MK2/Safestrap, only TW (TouchWiz) based roms matching your current stock version (4.3).
thanks Oishi,
Can I flash back to an older stock rom that is not safestrap?

No, once you're on Stock MK2 you're locked to MK2 and have no other options than safestrap.

Here is a somewhat current list of compatible SS Roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630040
Also check page 1 in the Android Development section; There are a few new ones that look tempting such as BajaRom for TW
Check out Eclipse 3.0 for an AOSP feel with TW compatibility.

Probably have to Odin MK2 back on the phone now. Like Bob said no true custom recovery for you. SafeStrap only.
Hop onto Swappa and grab an MDK S4 if you really want one... They're much cheaper now since S5 is out

Your ONLY option for a recovery is Safestrap. Flashify will NOT work. You should start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501

like riker posted NO recoveres except safestrap. READ the link he provided. Should be mandatory reading for all posters
Hi all, I have tried several times to install a custom recovery on my i545 but have bricked it each time. I've got so confused with boot versions, LOKI etc etc that I don't know what to do now.
I've included a screen shot of my About page. Can you please point me in the right direction as to what steps to take to install a custom recovery please?

From what i see, you cannot flash a custom recovery as you are not on a MDK bootloader. You are running NC5 which is to say "forget about running a custom recovery or a custom ROM outside of Safestrap."

You can downgrade to mk2 or new, but still bootloader is locked, use safestrap 3.72 to flash safestrap compatible rom.

If you haven't done so anyway, you will need to root using towelroot. You'll also need to get SElinux changer from the play store and set to permissive. Then install safestrap 3.72 and flash roms from the dev section that say are compatible with SS. That is what we're limited to.
