★ [N900V] [KitKat] [NC2 Firmware/Bootloader] [NC4 Modem/Recovery] [Boot Loop Fix] ★
This is a part of JasmineROM. It fixes the boot loop issue when entering (rebooting to) recovery on NC2 and upgrades the modem and recovery to NC4. Sure, by flashing this file in Odin, you can still roll back to Jelly Bean MJE with all the benefits of the leaked NC2 kernel.
An updated/unified version & instructions can be found here!

I confirm that this works better than the NC2 modem––for me. The firmware file provided by @BeansTown106 doesn't include NC2 recovery, and that's why entering recovery fails resulting in a boot loop. You can fix the boot loop issue by just flashing the NC2 recovery. However, the linked file here includes upgraded NC4 recovery and modem together with the NC2 firmware/bootloader.
The only issue I had when flashing the NC4 modem is incorrect lockscreen PIN code. So, you may need to set the lockscreen to "swipe" before flashing and change it later. At any time, you can roll back to the NC2 package by flashing @BeansTown106 firmware file. You can also roll back to JB MJE if you wish––or for root/disaster recovery.
Anyway, I tried this several times before posting. I'm a developer in another field, but I wanted to say thanks to the great XDA community by posting something useful (it's my 1st post).

Unset any lockscreen PIN/pattern, reboot to Download Mode, flash via Odin3, reboot to SafeStrap, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot to system, set your lockscreen security, and enjoy!
So this is basically like flashing the stripped nc4 modem .tar from the kitkat release? Im on ricks kitkat rom so this wouldn't affect anything else (only give me the newest radio) . The new recovery doesn't really improve anything since we are using safe strap correct?

Yes, but... The (new) recovery fixes the boot loop problem when accidentally rebooting to recovery from advanced power menu (for example). The NC2 firmware also gives the option of recovering from other boot loop problems. So, yes, its NC2 firmware/bootloader + NC4 modem + NC4 recovery in one file. You may not need it for now, if you've already flashed the new modem and NC2 recovery (not included in @BeansTown106 file), but it's still useful to have all of them in one small file that can be easily used for upgrading the modem and disaster recovery (e.g., rolling back to MJE for root before upgrading again to NC2).

No problem! You're welcome.
I've also prepared files for rooted NC4 ROM + firmware, but I don't like to post them because NC4 bootloader is incremented. So, you can get fully rooted NC4 ROM, but at any major problem, you'll lose root and there's noway to roll back to MJE. Thanks to @Hashcode for the PSA at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727876.
This is awesome. Thank you so much. Just installed this via Odin and let me tell you the NC4 modem is a huge upgrade over the NC2 one. Worth the few minutes to install just for that alone.

Great! Glad to help
Just for clarification
Thanks for the files! Just to be clear, what steps should I take if I'm already on the ROM that Beanstown posted? Just flash in Odin? That shouldn't wipe anything, correct?

Just flashing in Odin is enough, but it's recommended to unset any lockscreen security before flashing and wipe cache/dalvik then. Here's the recommended steps:
1. unset any lockscreen PIN/pattern
2. reboot to Download Mode
3. flash via Odin3
4. reboot to SafeStrap
5. wipe cache/dalvik
6. reboot to system
7. set your lockscreen security
This is recommended only if you installed Xposed modules and modified the lockscreen behaviour. Otherwise, just flash via Odin3!
is this pre-rooted?

This isn't a ROM; it's just NC2 firmware/bootloader + NC4 modem/recovery. You need to be on the rooted NC2 to flash.

What would be the benefit of having the NC2 firmware over the NC4? I can understand the NC2 bootloader, but is there a difference with the firmware?

hey, i just skimmed the original post, and thought it was a full-blown NC2 ROM with the NC4 radio, etc.
I am sorry if I am misunderstanding but if I'm on nc2 and flashed only the modem nc4 from Droid forums that means I can't roll back to mje?i haven't tried it and I haven't had issued just curious I'm happy where I am as I'm rooted still on nc2 with my mobile Hotspot and unlimited data so I couldn't be happier u just want to know if I'm going to have the option to roll back to me modem if I wanted to
I think I was reading this as the firmware not the radio sorry ignore my question long day at work and my brain is jello

I was trying to flash an updated version of the ROM i had, but a verizon message came up, essentially telling me my bootloader was still locked. I looked it up, and the fix is supposedly flashing it back to stock, which I tried, but it has no internet connection (wifi or service) and it loaded the ROM i had been trying to install earlier.
I double checked my model number, to see if that did anything, and it's changed from what it was when I flashed the first ROM, so i tried flashing the firmware for that model, but Odin just gives me a fail message for that, so i can get my ROM to run, but my internet is borked, and I can't get it back to stock to see if that fixes it.
Because I can't get internet access it's screwing up a lot of my attempts to fix it, and my computer refuses to read it, so I can't do anything from that end.
Also, while my WiFi refuses to turn on (switch pops back to grey after trying to turn it on) my service bars act like they're receiving, changing up and down, but they're greyed out and the carrier name is 'Empty'.

Original Build: if you mean what I was using before flash, I can't find the link to it, it was one of the first stock android ROMs for the GS4. If you mean prior to that, it was the standard Samsung TouchWiz the GS4 comes with.
I was trying to flash the ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340783
I flashed it using TWRP > wipe data/cache, factory reset > install zip > wipe dalvik cache > boot. When that didn't seem to work, I tried flashing stock using Odin, as I can't get the zips onto my phone now.

Very important that you use the MDK file and not one of the others as those will lock your phone back up and no more custom recovery for you.

I got my phone back to stock, made sure my internet was working, rooted it, installed TWRP, and everything worked fine, but I have a question that might be a bit out of the bounds of this post. When I tried to use TWRP to flash stock android onto it I get the message "Verizon has detected unauthorized software [etc]". This is linked to the bootloader, if I recall correctly, but I can't find some really good help with it.
Further help would appreciated, but what you've done already has helped me far more than I had hoped when I posted, so thank you, oh so much.

You can ODIN the full stock .tar and then follow up with TWRP and flash your ROM after that.
I just did this process to upgrade from NH7 and then re-flashed Tema's CM12.
Cf auto root will root it
Anyone got a link to Cf auto root for sm900p? I get bandwidth exceeded when I download from chainfire
No issues rooting and installing TWRP on NK4 for me. My steps were as follows:
1. Downloaded the official N900PVPUDNK4_N900PSPTDNK4_SPR from the links in the OP.
2. Backed up my rooted NH7 (via Titanium Backup and TWRP) just in case.
3. Wiped everything via TWRP recovery.
4. Odin (v3.09) NK4 using the AP slot and let the phone reboot.
4b. Probably overkill but I then did a factory wipe via stock recovery and rebooted.
5. Odin TWRP 2.8.1.0 and rebooted into recovery.
6. Installed Chainfire's SuperSU-2.40.zip via TWRP recovery and rebooted the phone.
7. Immediately got rid of all the bloat using Titanium Backup!
So far I haven't run into any issues.

My software and baseband are both nk4.
I went full stock nh7 and updated ota.
When I updated to nh7 (when it was new), I used kies... It only updated one and caused me problems. I had to flash both via odin to fix back then.
Ya looks like my baseband never took I'll have to fix at a later point. Phones working fine though. It's weird.

ya your right. i forgot about that. i did a battery pull last time. well since my baseband is still nh7 . ill be reflashing nh7 tar. then back up to nk4 in about a hr when off work.
I saw alot of people asking about these, so I've repacked the stock Modem, Bootloader, Kernel and Recovery from the full .tar separately as Odin flashable .tar's for anyone who needs them. And also created a recovery flashable stock kernel.
I've tested them all out and they work correctly for me, use at your own risk though. For G900T ONLY
Also, consider this: Warning flashing Bootloader/Modem/ FULL FIRMWARE LOLLIPOP
Flashable in Odin:

Thanks so much for posting these. I upgraded modem, bootloader and kernel no problem.
Stock kernel seems to work better than the ktoonsez one (for me at least), but i don't think I can get SElinux to be permissive on the stock kernel (doesn't seem to stick when I use SElinux mode changer app), which in turn seems to mean I can't use Viper...so I flashed back ktoonsez kernel since I can't live without Viper
Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong...I know this isn't a Viper thread, but I'm pretty sure I read over there that SElinux permissive was a must for Viper to work, so if stock kernel doesn't allow for that, then my next thought is it possible to have stock kernel that's SElinux permissive?
How did you guys install the stock kernel? I used odin, wiped cache, and all I get is the initial Galaxy S5 Power By Android logo and it never goes past this.
did you try pulling the battery before you start the phone up on download mode? I always have to do that first and the always works for me.

I have the same problem, nothing sounds as good without Viper But i'm dealing with the stock kernel for now.

As cyhamada says above, you sometimes have to pull the battery before going into Download mode. Also, try a different version of Odin. With Odin 3.09 flashing the full .tar results with my phone sitting on the boot logo.
Updated Bootloader/Modem, yet my Baseband hasn't changed from NK2, shouldn't it change to the OB1?
I'm running CM12, boots fine, LTE signal's been junk since upgrading to NK2 and was hoping this new modem would have some corrections. (Phoenix, AZ)

You have to be on stock for it to stick, and sometimes it will take a couple tries of lashing it even then, usually the best way is to pull battery and then boot into download.

bootloader went fine but modem causing me to hang on sammy screen and i cant seem to get past it no matter what i try.

Have you tried CF-Auto-Root? Next thing after that I would say install TWRP and exit, it will ask to root if it doesn't detect root.

How long has it been on the boot animation? First boot/first clean boot(new kernel, etc.) for Lollipop takes a while to build ART.

Here's what I would do if I were in your situation. Grab the full OB1 .tar and Odin 3.07 along with TWRP. I would: Odin TWRP>Do a factory reset>Pull battery>Boot into Download mode>Flash OB1>Let it sit for about 20 min. If you have adb set up on your computer I would also do "adb logcat" to see what exactly is going on. Although I don't recall if it'll pickup after a factory reset, I just do it so often on mine I never pay attention.
If that failed I would Odin TWRP and grab one of the Lollipop roms and flash that.
i managed to get the OF6 sprint full rom file through kies.
this is only to be flashed using odin in the ap slot.
you will probably lose root and your custom recovery.
you may be able to root it and restore the data . That up to you to try.
This is the Sprint version Only!
here is the link: if someone wants to provide a mirror that would be appreciated.
Disabling 'Reactivation Lock' from 'Security' in the settings allowed me to root and add a custom recovery (TWRP).
your on your own from here!

It's always great to have a TAR file on PC. Thanks!
But btw, this is Android 5.0 update, right? Have read on android blogs that OF6 has been 5.1 update for T-Mobile Galaxy S6 sets. So..
Okay, it's 5.0.2. Brings Reactivation lock.

First is this a necessary update? Second does one have to update to OD3 first before doing the update. I'm still on OA6

no you dont have to update and no it isnt necessary. but if you are on stock OA6 I would take to guess that this rom is 5 months newer with improvements in alot of areas. they claim its for factory reset protection (so someone cant steal your phone and just factory reset it and it theirs now) and for reactivation protection (same thing so noone can reactivate the phone and make it theirs)
if i was on straight stock i would update. if i was on a stock rooted i would either try and root it or wait for someone to root the tar file and make it flashable through recovery.
thats my take on it.
cool... thanks. I like the security features, but at the same time I may wait till the new Moar comes out to do the work.

Has anyone successfully loaded a custom recovery and possibly one of the available OA6 ROMs after updating to this full tar?
I know there are separate modem and firmware files, but I was just curious if anyone has tried to go there from full stock.

Yes. In fact, I did a full rom install, with nand erase all (after a bad flash), and I still went back to OA6 and OD3 stock deodexed roms.
Flashing TWRP from Odin works fine after flashing OF6 or OD3. I also used the CF one click root method, and that also worked for me.
Everything I did was in Odin 3.10.6.
Chainfires auto root makes odin complains about the recovery and shows 'fuse>3', which (I assume) means I've already burnt thru three of the 400+ fuses in the phone (kernel, recovery and probably rooting). I've tried odin 3.10.6 and the version that comes with chainfires auto root. Towelroot v3 says my phone isn't supported, even when using the command mod options.
I'll boot back into Windowz and try this a few more times. I don't see/know how joshdv rooted his phone...
edit: let's add insult to injury. I can't downgrade the firmware/OS to OA6, says it fails OS version.

Ya, before I flashed this, I knew I was probably stuck with OF6 and that there currently wasn't a reliable method to get root. Now, it's a waiting game to see if someone comes up with a method/hack to root this. GooooOOOOO CHAINFIRE!!!

Depends how long you're willing to wait and if you want to keep the warranty bit untripped.
If it doesn't matter, you can still flash custom recovery in odin and any one of the pre-rooted custom or stock roms that will run on the lollipop bootloader.

Made this for myself, and noticed other people wanting it. If you are in anyway unsure of what your doing, please don't flash Odin packages. I'm not on here all that often to answer questions, so please refer to aaricchavez's thread as I'm sure the same questions will be asked.
I was able to flash by pulling the battery, then vol-dwn + home + pwr. Choose vol-up for downloader and flash. Worked on the second try. See screenshots bellow.

I've tried updating my bootloader& modem as well as the firmware in Odin 3.09 & 3.10 & all it keeps doing is failing can someone PLZ help
The only way I've been able to flash the last few modems and bootloaders is by pulling the battery, and even then It may take a few times. DOB1 took me 4 or 5 times.
And if your wondering, the modems a huge improvement. At least for me anyways. I'm up in the hills of the SF east bay and got very spotty LTE before, no longer an issue.

Yup. On rare occasion partitions respond in strange ways to odin flashing, ie. partitions other than what you're flashing become unwriteable. But for the most part that's a rarity.

As of 10/10/15 FOG6 is, I just uploaded.
thanks for this. just realized today there was an update.. only a one letter difference, took a while to realize it!
can someone upload the new one?
Just wanted to add this. Was having a hard time flashing BL and CP
1. removed the sd card (tmobile thing I read somewhere)
2. took off the md5 off the file name so it was just a .tar file
3. put both files in to oden 3.11 and on the first flash had auto reboot NOT checked, then pulled the USB cable and pulled Battery.
4. then booted to download mode with cable in and and battery in and reflashed with auto reboot checked.
I installed omega rom v20 and I had a bootloop because I didnt have a 6.x.x bootloader and modem.
I came from 4.x.x and I almost just installed a stock 6.x.x to get the updated BL and CP, then root that.
I have had good luck with omega, but I use TB to clean out all the Samsung stuff. I purchased the App for $7, worth every penny.
