You can flash a no-wipe NC5 factory ROM image using Odin. Look in the Android Development forum for the thread with that info.
If that doesn't work, flash a full-wipe NC5.

I tried to do AdamOutler's unlock bootloader stuff, and when i flashed the unlocked bootloader file in his thread i got a boot loop, so i tried to flash the stock bootloader file also in his thread. now i get the yellow triangle saying i need to take it back to the store. i can still flash with odin and i just tried to flash the unlocked bootloader again and now i get a fail message in odin.
please help!
even if i can get back to the bootloop i'm willing to take it back to verizon at this point. i just dont want to do that with the yellow triangle, i could just make up some something for the bootloop.
Have you tried flashing back with the stock odin image?

the first thing you ever do before flashing anything on your device is have a stock rom to odin back on. second your not following directions. third your device is not bricked...flashing back to stock will bring it back.
I'm having a similar issue. I had followed adam's protocol for rooting and unlocking using CASUAL; once the process was completed I received a notification claiming that my device was now 'rooted and unlocked.' I then proceeded to download ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery and upon reboot receive the 'system software not authorized' message. At this point I attempted to use the official ODIN provided in droidstyle's guide on root/unlock/etc thread. I see a successful flash of the image but still cannot get out of the unauthorized system software error. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

i did! that's why i was a bit surprised that it didn't work. i downloaded both the VRALJB 4.1.1 stock image and pit file, placed them into their corresponding locations in ODIN and flashed away. should i be allowing ODIN to repartition the disk? (thanks for the help droidstyle!)

Hey Guys,
So I was running the google experience rom v3 and I decided to head on over to another rom but forgot to wipe before hand and my phone got a little wonky. I eventually ended up doing a complete Odin factory flash which brought me right back to VRUAMDK, when I went to install the OTA update to VRUAME7 my phone would reboot but would not apply and changes and I would get a notification telling me I cant update. I used an Odin flash to the VRUAME7 stock rom and that worked but for some reason I cant flash any sort of recovery now. Booting into recovery just brings me to download mode. I've tried flashing a recovery with Odin with failures on the write. Did I seriously F&#$ up my Nand? I just want to be able to run a recovery and have my GE S4 back Any help would be majorly appreciated.

The VRUAME7 firmware patched the Loki exploit and therefore you can not install a custom recovery. Right now all you can do is root the device also there is no way to go back to the VRUAMDK firmware.

Wow, am I really that oblivious? apparently.. any reason why this might not work on VRUAMDK either? pretty sure I tried flashing through goomanager on that and ran into the same issue..
Hey guys just got a new Verizon S4 that has the bootloader unlocked. The guy I bought it from had CM 10.1 installed. I was wanting to go to the google edition rom or a TW rom. I flashed the google edition rom and it booted fine the first boot. Second boot, it got hung on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen. I have wiped caches, reflashed different roms and now everytime I try to boot the phone, it hangs at the same screen. I have no idea what to do. I know I can odin back to stock but I don't want to lose my root and unlocked bootloader (I am assuming I will?) Help?
Did you full wipe? Not just cache. You have to do a full wipe, system and everything. Basically factory reset.
If that doesn't work, you can flash back to stock and re root it, it's really easy.

I did a factory reset. If I flash back to stock I will lose my unlocked bootloarder correct?
I tried flashing another recovery and now I cant even get into recovery. I get the following in red at the top "secure fail: kernel" Then I get a yellow triangle below that that says "system software not authorized by verizon has been found on your phone, yada yada" Am I screwed? I tried flashing cwm advanced edition
I dont think u'll lock the bootloader as long as u dont take the me7 update... factory reset then reroot right after....

You can't flash a new recovery from inside the GPE port. Since you got the triangle of doom I'm guessing that's what you did. You need to ODIN back to the MDK stock Tar file. I don't know who has it but the download link is on here. Then you need to reroot using the MDK root method, which requires you to download the MD2 bootloader tar file and the MDK boatloader tar file and the motochopper root exploit tool. After you have root, update the binaries. Then power off and reflash back to the MDK (using the .tar file) Once back in MDK you can download a new custom recovery. TWRP or CWM. Boot into recovery and make a full nandroid backup. This way if crap hits the fans again you can reflash your backup. After your backup is done. Download the GPE zip file (I usually put it in my microsd card) then boot back into recovery and reflash the GPE ROM.
Important things to remember.
1.) Don't install the ME7 tar file in ODIN when reflashing
2.) Don't accept the update that OTA
3.) Don't reflash from inside the GPE ported ROM
4.) Don't forget to update the Root binaries from google play after installation
I am currently on MJ4 jellybean (rooted) and I want to upgrade to NC5 for the wifi calling. Can I simply use odin V3.09 and install this tar and be done?
Download Android 4.4.2 NC5 Firmware for Sprint Note 3 SM-N900P [LATEST][Wifi-Calling]
Does this keep root or will I have to unroot my phone again after running this tar in odin?
If this is incorrect, can someone please tell me how to upgrade to NC5 from Mj4??? Thanks.

Here is 1 method : [HOW-TO] Update to 4.4.2 NAB & NC5 w/Root from MJ4 Rooted without triggering Knox 0x1
and this one
[Stock ROM] Odin flashable N900PSPTDNH7 (says NH7 but it has the older tars as well)

Well, I tried to install recovery first using the TWRP Manager app and when I choose reboot into recovery it will start to reboot and when it says "set Warranty Bit: recovery" (in yellow), it will not do anything. I then downloaded the 2.8 recovery tar file and tried to install it in odin and when I reboot into recovery it will get to the ""set Warranty Bit: recovery" (in yellow and still not do anything. The only way I can reboot my phone from there is to pull the battery, hold the power down, power and home button, then choose reboot phone.
How do I fix this problem??

So you Odin'd to NAB and took OTA to NC5 or did you go right to NH7?
In any event after Odin'g to stock reboot your phone and let it load 100% stock
Then put SuperSU214.zip to your SD Card
turn the phone off
boot to download mode
Odin Philz Recovery (I prefer that sorry)
don't auto reboot.
when its finished and passed, hold the boot to recovery buttons - the phone will reboot into recovery
flash the supersu214.zip (for root)
reboot phone and let it boot
you now have stock root
good luck

No, the only thing I have done was try to update TWRP from 2.6.3.7 to TWRP 2.8.......for some reason when I try and update the recovery it will not go into recovery, it simply does nothing after the ""set Warranty Bit: recovery" (in yellow) is displayed.
Do I need to update my TWRP recovery or can I just flash the stock NH7 tar in 3.07 odin?
Can I flash the N900PSPTDNH7 tar file in odin 3.07 with my TWRP 2.6.3.7 recovery and be OK???

Ah, you can't use the newer recoveries with older firmware/bootloader.
You'll have to just odin NH7, follow the steps I gave you and you'll be back at stock rooted.
It will be a good idea to wipe factory reset though, after booting 100% stock, boot to stock recovery and do that then turn the phone off and start the process of putting NH7 (you really should start 100% fresh because you're moving up 3 upgrades)

yw, glad to hear that!
Hi, I was using safestrap to install a new rom. I wiped data/cache/factory reset, I also wiped the system which I guess left me with no operating system. When I flashed ROM it failed and when phone rebooted it cant load past samsung logo.
phone is Galaxy s4 verizon 4.4.2 SCH-I545 build number NG6. has stock recovery...
How can I get it back to normal?
I need advice ASAP as I use my phone for work.
