i have been searching for days and i cannot seem to find the modem for kj4 in TAR format. i have tried the websites that convert zip to tar and they do not convert where odin can read it.
What options do i have without flashing a custom kernal with CWM on it?
i have my stock 2.3.4 minus the bloatware running now and i do not want to change that as my battery life has been perfect and bug free.
Correct me if im wrong but all i need is to have the phone rooted and ODIn can flash the modem in for me?
i've tried to get CWM without flashing and apparently it cant be done.
invest in the PRO version of mobile Odin from the Play Store. Mobile Odin will flash files without changing the flash counter, too.
Here's a link to a stock kernel that has cwm. you can flash this with mobile odin, then flash whatever you want from either cwm or mobile odin

If you're rooted, just flash the zip file, look for the modem in the modems thread in development
Edit: sorry, somehow the last part of your post didn't register in my head, lol, try the pro version of mobile Odin like mentioned above

this will work for any gingerbread: 2.3.4, 2.3.6. Just download the file (about 6 megs i think), put it on your internal sd card, open mobile odin, choose kernel, select it from your internal card, go down to "flash firmware" in mobile odin and flash it. you will now have cwm recovery, then you can flash your modem from cwm.
I have never flashed a modem from mobile odin do I don't know what type of file it will need to flash kj4.
no. you don't have to do a data wipe.

here, try this. this is the one I use if I ever flash back to stock.
thanks! worked like a charm. had to download most of the stuff to the computer first but CWM recovery is on here.
scratch that. cwm is on here but it cannot do anything. even the reboot system option doesnt work. i installed rom manager thinking it would help but that puts the phone into download mode.
i tried the flash modem with mobile odin but it wont find the modems that i have one the device. im assuming it only read TAR files. so im still back to square one.
I need this search button to pop back up on XDA

avoid Rom Manager at all costs. just put the zip of the kj4 on your sd card. boot into recovery (hold both volume buttons and power button at the same time until you see the SAMSUNG splash screen. choose zip from sd card and flash.
I'm astonished that nobody even suggested using modem.bin and odin or heimdall. No need for new kernel or cwm. My faith is waning here.

I unzipped the file and did the bin file on mobile Odin. It finally worked so I didn't need cwm which by the way doesn't work on my phone for whatever reason. I installed it from two different kernels but when I select an option the screen just sits there. Turns out kj4 sucks for me so I'm going to go try another one. My battery life had gone down with this modem.

depending on the kernel you used with CWM in it, you should probably have been using the HOME button to select

The problem is that my phone won't boot into Recovery like if it has no recovery installed.
Are you trying to get the phone back to a stock rom? Do you have access to a computer running KEIS?
What method are you using to get into recovery?

Yes, I have done it through Kies and when I try to go to recovery the phone go into a loop.
Sounds like you used kies to upgrade to official ics? Why would you need to get into stock recovery? What button combo are you using?

K. Sounds like you're gonna have to flash a recovery through Odin. If you're worried about the flash counter then I would flash cwm through Odin, flash counter reset and stock recovery in cwm. If you're not concerned about the counter, then just leave that part out.
Thanks for the help. I'll do it as soon I get home.

Odin wil not find my cwm recovery to flash on my computer!!!. what do I do now???????
When you hit the PDA box it doesn't bring up the tar file? It can't be a zip. Make sure you have the correct cwm file on your PC. Make sure you download the Odin file. I prefer the touch version myself.

no, no tar file. I have downloaded from several threads and unziped and they show in my computer but Odin do nothing to find them.
STUPID IDIOT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,:silly::silly::silly:. I downloaded the wrong one,,,,,........ will try again...
The PDA slot in Odin will only see specific types of files. In this case, it needs to be a tar file. Go to the link above and download the Odin file for cwm touch.

I downloaded the full 1.7GB N2 MJ9 md5 for odin, after I flashed the phone would just flash NOTE 2 logo over and over.I tried to re-flash it again in odin but it just fails, and now in download mode I see 4.3 stuff.
I keep trying to use odin 3.09 to reflash stock but it fails at NAND WRITE START

Mine did this exact same thing. I later found out that you have to run Odin again and only use a pit file. Basically bring up Odin, put your phone into Odin mode, connect it, on the right hand side of the Odin screen instead of clicking PDA, click PIT. Then point to your file and click start. The file name is sch-I605-16gb.pit. Only thing is that I am unsure where I downloaded it from. There is a video on youtube on that describes exactly how to do this and I think the links to the files are on that video.

I got the same issue. my phone was rooted with TWRP 2.6.3.2 and flashed to customized MJ9 in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578458&page=14
Later I would like to restore to factory default, so downloaded this firmware http://terafile.co/2146204d7383 and flashed using odin. the flash was successful, however, after it finished, it started to have the exact problem as you described.

Did you take 4.4.2 OTA?
Well have you tried rebooting into stock recovery(UP BUTTON, HOME BUTTON, POWER) and doing a factory reset..then reboot?
You should always flash a image or tar in Odin WITH the pit file..bc if no pit the image could end up anywhere(rare)..
So this is what I would do..
pull battery
un plug phone
reboot into Download Mode
plug phone into different USB port
ODIN see it?
If so good!
Try to reflash WITH pit file

What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.

Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.

Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not
Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.

Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.

well i flashed back the old rom and it worked but now i have no signal and there is no sound what can i go and there is 2 red lines on the top when i open the phone even the wifi doesnt work
just thought id put this up since i haven't seen it posted.
this is the full OD3 stock Rom tar.MD5 file
it is odin Flashable.
I will warn you alot of people are saying once they upgraded to this bootloader they couldnt get OA6 roms to flash so beware.
any download mirrors would be appreciated
Here is another link but this one you have to unzip then use Odin to flash the tar file inside thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61215093
download
use odin 3.10.6 but i believe 3.10.0 will work also
put the file in the AP slot and flash
you will most likely lose root but here it is any way
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=cd08ce789eb6b040!141
It should be noted that if anyone flashes this firmware they will NOT be able to flash back to a previous firmware.
i will also note that some people could gain root with chainfire and flash custom recovery through odin then restore backups of OA6 but again beware

Wasn't sure about chainfire's root method on this version since I'm not running it, so hopefully it still works. @Ramer has uploaded this as well to a file hosting site so if he doesn't see this, ask him for a link for his download link so you can add a mirror site to the OP as an alternate if you like.

Here the file I put up on AFH: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952615017
I have to question the title of this thread though. This is NOT flashable in recovery. It's the zip file that must be unzipped on a PC and then Odin the tar file. It's the original one from Sammobile.
The OP gives correct instructions, I just think the word flashable is bound to confuse someone.

thanks for the mirror it says right in the OP "Odin" flashable
also in the instructions it says to open odin use the ap slot etc
plus if anyone tried to recovery flash it would just fail, no damage done

You are correct. It's probably just my hesitation to using the word flashable and odin at the same time. I've lost count of how many users see a zip and think "I'll flash this"

Pull your battery out. wait a few seconds. put battery back and boot into odin/download mode. vol down+home+power
then odin the tar
it will work
Had the same problem, wasn't able to flash back to BOA6 using odin had to flash OD3 to get the phone back and running
not sure about rooting, but my hotspot is still enabled from previous root that i loss when updating to OD3
You can still flash OA6 roms as.long.as.you have a custom recovery and.root

Yes. Once flashed don't reboot. Pull the battery and go back into download mode and flash twrp. Img in the ap slot
You can find the file at Moars op under recovery and odin
After you flash the custom recovery image pull battery boot into recovery from recovery hit reboot. It will then prompt you that there's no root and would you like to root. Choose yes. Tada
