EDIT: Some users have experienced issues with my initial Full-wipe .tar. I am adding @Surge1223 's files as additional options:
Full-Wipe NG6
No-Wipe NG6
I545VRUFNG6_Full_Wipe.rar
This is an "All-in-One" file, extract the .tar and flash in PDA Slot in Odin(AP in Odin v3.09+).
**Tip** The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad USB port or cable.
man you like came out of nowhere. first with the updated, fixed safestrap and then with this. thank you for everything, man

ah, everything I know I learned from my tablet and my old phone. this is the first and hopefully last phone I will deal with that has a locked bootloader.
Thanks for posting. Should we also be flashing a .pit file along with the full wipe rar?

If I use this file to update my rooted NC5 will I keep Root? If not, what is the best procedure to use to Root after install? Does this fix the SD-Card write concern with Kit Kat?
Thank you,

My wife's GS4 hasn't been able to update with the NG6 update (hers is stock). Can I use this to update her GS4 to NG6 via Odin?
She's been having some issues with her phone and I was hoping the update would fix them.
Not working
I can't get this to work. It keeps failing. I don't know what to do. I followed the link to download ODIN that was provided, and i loaded the file using the AP button for PDA files. This is the log that keeps repeating:

What's being displayed on your phone when the write fails? That often has info that's useful for diagnosis.

The download already has the ZIP integrity check (which isn't the greatest) and a MD5 sum on the .tar file, so your download is OK.
To fully wipe, you need to use the PIT file for your phone (if you flash using the 16gb PIT on a 32gb phone, you'll lose 16gb!)
I got this flashed on my wife's GS4. I noticed a few things.
1. It didn't do a full wipe as all her apps and data are still on the phone.
2. Now when rebooting, at the Samsung screen it shows the unlocked lock and says "Custom" like my MDK Loki'd GS4. What is that and what does it mean on her's?
3. After updating via this method, I still get a Verizon Updater update available.
Help is appreciated.
The file has been downloaded 385 times. Strange that issues are just now appearing. I would be interested in hearing a few others chime in before considering taking it down.

It worked fine for me. I just had the few questions I posted above.
Do you happen to have the NC5 file so I can Odin back to it to get SS installed?
I did the full wipe with the PIT and use the AP section to flash this.
Upon reboot I get a "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped".
Any help would be great.
Edited. Hangouts SMS issue was in using Hangouts as the SMS gateway. Reset the contact properly and could send via cell radios. Never mind. NC5 working great.

Full-Wipe NG6
No-Wipe NG6
Trouble with No-Wipe.tar
The initial state of my phone was a failed Hyperdrive rls 20 kk install (forgot the kernel modules for Safestrap) on top of rooted stock vrufng6.
I downloaded No-Wipe.tar with Free Download Manager and flashed in Odin 3.10 with a PASS.
Then the phone rebooted into recovery briefly, then exited recovery mode and booted normally...until I got a persistent message:
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"
It would not go away, blocking the screen, and seemed to interfere with the phone activation which would not finish.
Also, I could not hard reset the phone; pressing up volume and power and home put it in a temporary recovery mode that would hang with a black screen until I let go of the buttons-and then the phone went back to normal boot and the dreaded message.
I tried flashing the file a second time and the same thing happened.
Going to try the Full-Wipe and hope it works .
---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------
Original state of phone was PASS attempt to flash No-Wipe.tar followed by issue below.
Full-Wipe.tar has the exact same issue (downloaded with just Chrome browser this time). Flashes in Odin with PASS, com.android.phone has stopped and the message blocks out the screen (I can spam "ok" and get to the poweroff/airplane mode/restart menu for like 1 second at a time). But I still can't access recovery mode. Is anyone else getting these issues, or should I try to flash some other version of the stock verizon rom on my phone?

I had that problem with both .tar files after multiple flashes and finally hard reset the phone (after flashing to stock unrooted NC5 which STILL HAD THE MESSAGE) since I was desperate (by spamming ok to the message and getting to the hardware power menu eventually between its reappearing, holding down volume up & home & power, then letting go of power until the dead android appeared and then letting all buttons go). Then I reflashed to No-Wipe.tar NG6 in this forum. Somehow the error message is gone (no idea why). From there you could go through the setup menu (the one you get when you buy the phone for the first time), check OTA so that towelroot v3 works properly, flash NC5 kernel, root, flash modified NG6 kernel, install busybox, install safestrap, rom w Safestrap, etc. Just don't do what I did and forget to add kernel modules to rom when you use Safestrap. That results in a rom with no wifi, no safestrap, that has to be completely reflashed with NG6 (or NC5, factory reset, then NG6, then OTA, etc. if you get that error message) all over again T_T.
This is the stock firmware, right? (sorry if this is obvious, I just want to double check)
Thanks

I had the latest 4.1.2 stock OTA installed via CWM and I wanted to unroot and go back to stock and that seemed to work fine.... I went to the old version VRALL4 and once rebooted it asked me to update OTA so I did and that was fine........ and it asked me to do it again for some reason and now I'm in a boot loop. The Galaxy note 2 logo flashes on the screen real fast and turns off over and over. I can only get into ODIN and not stock recovery. I've tried re-flashing the original odin package, and the pre-rooted odin packages and nothing is working.... what can I do? am i fux0rd? thx
edit: also USB all drivers are installed .......
Try a factory reset in the stock recovery. Then give it a whirl.

Checkout this thread by Adam Outler called "DON'T ACCEPT OTA UPDATES" in the Verizon Galaxy Note II General section. I'm aware that you aren't experiencing this specific problem, but it should fix your boot loop problem. You'll need the two files that he makes available just below the picture. I've had others tell me that they used those files to successfully fix boot loops.

I can only get into odin... not even stock recovery. the odin app doesn't even work most of the time....
If i hold vol up + power + home it just continues to boot loop flashing the note 2 logo....... downloading one more odin file to see if this can fix it..... :crying:
I knew I should have used triangle away before doing this as if I take it to the VZ store they're going to be able to tell that it'd been modified before....
The lesson you should learn from this is DO NOT ACCEPT OTAS! Not sure how you haven't understood that since it has been stated more than enough times in almost every thread.

First of all, I'm not a noob and I did get the system back up.... as I said above i was trying to UNROOT not ROOT my device using Odin which I have done many times. This is the first time I've ran into the boot loop issue.... so I flashed a stock unrooted odin tar.md5 and this is the issue that I had.... now when I did that, I thought I was unrooted but obviously the bootloader did not get flashed back to stock... anyways thanks for your oh so useful post in lumping me in with the n00bz... :laugh:
anyways
now im facing another issue where its still has the rooted bootloader installed but an "official" stock rom on it.....
I'm not saying you're a noob. All I'm trying to get you to understand is to read before doing. As with your unlocked bootloader issue, you probably overlooked that there are 2 ways to restore to stock. One re locks the bootloader and the other doesn't. Read more and don't skim the guide, that's all I'm saying my dude.

thats what Ive been trying to find for ages and I've downloaded 4 or 5 different "stock" odin packages which puts me back to the original 4.1.1 I506VRALJB version....
So I'm trying to find the ODIN package that wipes everything (bootloader esp)....... thanks..... and with goo.im having so many issues its really tough finding all the files I need.
....hmmmmmmm so I updated superSU and unchecked a box that "hides" root - but if I accept another OTA i'm sure I'll be stuck with another boot loop until I really flash the unlocked bootloader with the OEM one right?
DO NOT ACCEPT OTAS! Lol. I forgot which thread had the right file. I'll look around and try to find it. Which files from which threads have you tried?

Tried this one which puts me on the original oem rom that came with the phone w/ no updates....
The only way I was able to get out of the boot loop is use the PIT file and this file root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605/
Here is where I Found the "pre-rooted" file... I put that in the bootloader section of ODIN along with the PIT file and this fixed my boot loop problem.
so even tho ODIN mode says "official" and not custom - this is bc I disabled root thru superSU even though its still rooted..

I've also removed superSU by using the option to "unroot" inside SuperSU..... whats going on? I have the PIT File in place, "phone bootloader update" checked or unchecked doesn't seem to matter..... and same for Phone EFS Clear......

This is the exact problem I have.....
From what I am understanding you can't write boot on Vrall4. So you would need to be on vraljb before being able to re lock the bootloader. I'm my head it makes sense but not sure how you need to go about it. I only looked at it real quick and I can't look into it right now. I'll check with you later and see what you have figured out. So post anything that you come across.
finally resolved it by erasing nand and flashing root66, then factory reset, then flashing one without the sboot.bin......
it took so many times - i dont think ive ever flashed this phone this many times before....... ugh what a pIta.... never rooting this phone again as its so freakin tempermental.
Or just don't unroot it. Problem solved??

please instruct me on all steps u took... where did u put the files and what u checked and what not.. i have the same exact problem except it gets stuck at Logo... i cannot go into recovery as well.
i have tried all the same files as u and all fail except root66 but it stays stuck on logo
as far as I can remember, take odin, put the pit file in the pit location in odin:
http://d-h.st/mKu
Then flash with root66...
http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390210501348163619
then see if u can get into stock recovery and do a factory reset and then go back into odin mode.... then tick nand erase and then use the alternate restore and put it in the phone section of the ODIN app and flash it....... of course this doesnt have the sboot but this was the only way i was able to get it back up....
if u are able to get the phone back up with root66, then stop there..... erasing the nand and not doing it right can brick it. i spent 2 days fixing mine and I must have tried flashing the phone at least 25 times... when I got root66 up and running I went into SuperSU app and went into settings and theres an option to remove or hide root. this may have helped. right now im finally on the latest OTA and it says official (not custom rom) in odin mode and in the about phone section. Hope this helps.
keep the back cover off the phone bc you'll be pulling the battery out if it gets stuck... good luck. FYI I always use the PIT file and that always seemed to have helped.

Help unlock my SGH-T599N please!
Hi... BRAND NOOB ALERT
*I've got the Metro PCS sgh-t599n*
It was rooted by my ex before he split*And Iv been trying to unlock my phone for almost a month since by myself. And I don't know what I'm doing.
So far, the only thing I was able to unlock was a virus onto my step moms laptop. Very nice way to say thanks to her. SMH. (My dad was able to fix that but not without being super mad =/)
*Do you know how I can unlock it??*I don't have one of those box thigs but I can connect it to my computer with USB*
I have the T mobile sim card (and like a total rookie) I activated (and paid for) prepaid service through them 3 wks ago... Sigh.*Guess I was a little over confident I would be able to figure this out lol I have done soooo much reading on it its insane! And although it's very interesting, ai t nobody got time.... So..
I have already canceled my metro service and didn't have them for 3 months prior, so getting my network sim unlock code from Metro isn't an option.
Also, (like a big giant noob) I thought I would be cute and try to guess unlock pin when I had some time to kill one day*SMH.*Now I may have made it to where I will need a PUK code also.*
IDK... That's probably obvious that tho
If anyone can help me with any advice or information, or even just point me in the right direction you would definitely be my hero. *This is the longest I have ever been away from my 6 yr old and although we Skype often, if I am not home (or somewhere with wif ) he has no way to reach me atm, even tho I'm paying for service.*Boooo. Lol. Someone help the newbie! Please and thank you =)*

Found the pit here:

So, I'd check off the repartition again, use that pit file and then redo the t599n Odin file from before.

Thanks i will try this pit. every time i put stock Rom for T599v i believe Tmo model or for T599n when i put pit and prerooted it says writing pit never shows percentage bar then lags out or fails to write as it says. then when i try to use odin again it will freeze for 5 minutes or more then fail. I tried to use heimdall front end too but kept saying all firmware.xml was missing in the multiple Roms i put on there then when pit is put in heimidall it wants me to manually build it i would have no problem with that but dont know the partition segments. This is my first time getting this deep into phone tech. Sorry if i use wrong teminology. I will report back with my findings ASAP

Found the pit here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51853378&postcount=256
So, I'd check off the repartition again, use that pit file and then redo the t599n Odin file from before.

This is what i get everytime i run odin. I have tried every pot on my laptop and i have used 4-5 different usb cables. i have even unistalled all driver reinstalled them and also odin as well.
Another option might be to load a custom recovery and a rom to see if that will at least get you booting.
I have tried putting multiple recoverys pits roms everything i have found on XDA and Android forums. damn thing will not format. just only can get to download mode after i hit buttons to put it there. idk maybe its just hard bricked for good without JTAG and i should just use it for batting practice

i have since got phone to turn back on and put in download mode. Still failing to part even with recovery.tar in PDA with pit in PIT. but now it wont register anything but 0 instead of 1 and com like it was before.. Idk if that has something to do with it. I have removed Sd card to make sure it wasnt showing as two seperate ids. and even though it failed to flash on download mode it shows CUSTOM PIT BINARY!!
Ah, I was just suggesting to load the recovery, boot to it and flash a rom, without messing with the pit.
Something else to try:

You should be able to install a recovery without needing the pit file or anything else. Just make sure that Re-Partition is unchecked so it doesn't think it needs a pit file period.

Hmm. You can try the newest Odin. But you get that error with Re-Partition off as well? Strange. You might possibly have to get it to an actual service who should have the full actual file instead of bits and pieces rolled into a tar. Or get a JTAG service.

Sounds like you still have something modified on your system from root. You should Odin the no-wipe mk2 odin from here and then try taking to OTA.
Why dint r you just Odin the nb1 and not worry about the update
Sent from my Nexus 5
I had the same custom issue after unrooting. Go back and find the saferoot file you downloaded. ( if you no has go finds again)
Depending where your at you'll need to either re-root and install superuser(let it update) or if you haven't removed SU yet don't do it.
The point is you need to use the uninstall.bat from saferoot to remove the root and then remove root via superuser. reboot (it'l still say custom) and wait 10 mins and then reboot again, should now come up clean.
But from there I still wasn't able to update OTA.
Make sure you didn't have ANY apps frozen via titanium backup or any stock apps deleted. Verizon pulls some crazy sorcery
It will be best to just Odin the no-wope mk2 full tar like I said a few posts up

NC5 is the OTA version, I just got it to work once I used odin.
I got the OTA to succesfully install after using odin as well. Flashed back to a fully stock rom(mk2) and did a factory reset to remove the "samsung custom" bootscreen. Once that finished, I installed the new OTA

I have a question; under build number on my phone it says JSS15J.I545VRUEMK2
Under Step 1 in the link you provided I don't see my build number listed anywhere, so how do I know which factory image to download and flash?
Thanks for any help. I'm an extreme novice at rooting. I rooted my phone for the first time back in December using saferoot/SuperSU and am a real newbie when it comes to stuff like this, so I'd really appreciate any help.

Flash the one for mk2. What do you want to do? Odin mk2 will put your phone back to a like new condition. If you flash the no wipe version everything on your internal will need preserved.

I'd prefer the no-wipe version, but it doesn't really matter at this point since I have all my stuff backed up and already did a factory reset anyway. I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock so I can do the OTA update.
Again, I know this is probably a real newbie question but when you say "flash the one for mk2", which build file am I supposed to download out of these that are listed in that post you linked me to: VRUAMDK, VRUAME7 or VRUDMI1?

The MK2 ODIN images can be found here. Don't try flashing anything earlier than MK2 if you're planning to go to NC5 via OTA.

You do not have to factory reset to remove the "Custom" screen.
Restore a factory stock image. Boot your phone. Wait an hour or so. Now, reboot. It won't show "Custom" any longer.
You just need to leave the phone running long enough for the scanner to figure out that it's now back to stock.

I was asked to make this one-click to help simplify the process of restoring a stock factory build for our Note 8.0 users. At this time neither myself or @garwynn are planning on releasing a rooted One-Click.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 16GB Wi-Fi edition (GT-N5110). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole device to the stock XXDNE1 experience, similar to a factory restore and it may wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your device's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your device, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the XXDNE1 Stock ROM One-Click.
GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the "GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Full Restore Unrooted.exe" was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on "GT-N5110 XXDNE1 Full Restore Unrooted.exe". *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.
6: Place device in Download Mode.
- Power device completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and device.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your device should automatically reboot.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Samsung logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore XXDNE1 build!

I believe it would mess up your bootloader but I don't have a way to verify as I don't have the n5100. Sorry!

This won't reset the counter but it won't increment it either. This is a 100% stock unrooted ROM so you'll be able to take OTA's again after flashing.

I have full access to recovery and download modes.
I am unable to Odin and flash because of partition errors. I plan on using TWRP and the ADB option with Android SDk. Do you think this will work?
I have not been able to Odin . Pit files successfully and re-partition. I am hoping ADB will allow me to put the rom inside the current partitions and use TWRP to flash.
Just a thought. I really don't know what I am doing or how to fix it. But if I have download mode and recovery, I should be able to find a way.
I am currently in a bootloop to recovery.

Unfortunately I don't know that this will work for you at this time. Essentially the one-click is a repackaged TAR. The TAR itself contains image files that correspond to specific partitions on your device. If the partitions on the device don't match up Odin is supposed to throw up a flag and stop the flash in order to prevent bricking the device.
I can't be 100% certain but given the fact it is stopping on sboot.bin, my guess is that the issues you are experiencing probably come from flashing a ZIP bootloader or ROM for another device. If that's the case we might be able to backtrack and undo what you've done so far but this won't work unless you have the right partition structures already in place.
I have spent hours trying to re-partition. The furthest I have gotten is where I am now... Stuck on Get PIT for mapping..
.. In ODIN. I am using the only PIT file for N5110 available on the entire World Wide Web!

hello, could someone please point me in the right direction. I've been trying to use this tool, I have access to stock recovery, when I factory reset it says it can't mount the /system. I tried this tool to reinstall every thing, but it fails at sboot.bin. all the research I've done leads me to believe this has something to do with the bootloader being locked, but I can't find anything about it, I keep getting lead back to this post. If anyone could point me where I need to be to figure this out I would really appreciate it.
Edit: I'm not sure what my problem was, but I eventually downloaded the stock 4.4.2 firmware and was able to flash through Odin and get up and running.

I've got the SAME thing goin on as KJarlin does. I'm having to go through Parallels on my Mac as I do not have a Winblows machine. That shouldn't make any difference though. Does anyone have solution???

Not able to verify as I no longer have the Note 8 but if I remember correctly the error you are getting is due to your device having a newer bootloader than the one-click. Most of the time a new bootloader locks out flashing of older bootloaders.

Hey everyone,
I'm brand new at this, so please forgive me. Yesterday I followed directions to root after a security update at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufng6-t2905848 and, with only a few bumps, managed to get my device rooted and back up to speed on vrufng6. After having some trouble getting my build to go into permissive mode, I managed to get a safestrap partition installed and a backup put in place - things seemed to be running fine and dandy.
This morning I tried to install an unsupported version of cyanogenmod (I blame their site, they said that the verizon build had been included in an all-in-one version) and found that it was non-functional. No troubles though, I had a backup! Right? Wrong. As far as I can tell I accidentally saved the backup to the externalSD card and managed to do something to make it inaccessible -- safestrap says it can't load and finds no system information. Odin (which I used heavily in the initial downgrade-upgrade shuffle to reinstate root access) won't load the full recovery image provided in the original thread or any of the stock roms out on the internet.
So I've been trying to use the push update feature found in recovery mode (using adb, running windows 8.1 command prompt) and once it uploads I get an error message on the phone, and am back where I started from. I should mention that it doesn't seem like we S IV users have a fastboot option.
Is there a way to fix this? I can **sometimes** get into safestrap, but most times my options are download mode and recovery mode (letting it try to boot normally just hangs the device at Galaxy S 4 screen for awhile before a reboot.) When I do get through safestrap I can find my recovery image, but it won't mount, and the restart option warns me that I have no OS installed.
Again, I'm sorry if I'm not offering enough information. If anyone knows how to get this thing back to stock I would really appreciate a point in the right direction.
Can't you just use Kies to flash the stock firmware? That's what I did when I wound up with a non working os. I coudn't even load the os. Try Kies first.

backsidesmack -- Thanks for the response. I did try Kies, but might not have given it a fair shake. It won't find my device by its own volition, and when I enter the (correct) model and serial numbers for an emergency recovery it won't accept the input. I've tried each of the options under the tool menu, but it can't find my phone. Is there some secret to getting it to cooperate?
If you can get into download mode then flash the full wipe of this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 Don't forget this will WIPE all your data.

Any pointers? I couldn't get it to work through sideload either; same error as before.
It's also probably time to confess that I'm running a windows 8.1 vm on a mac, to do all of this, but I managed to flash to a downgraded kernel and back up with the same setup.
going back to Kies, emergency firmware recovery won't show any options. How do you generate a recovery code?
Quick question. Which version of SafeStrap did you download and install?

3.75, which I believe added a button that would attempt to set enforcing mode to passive (instead of using terminal emulator for the same purpose).
I don't think it was any fault of its own - the latest verizon update removed the exploit that towelroot uses and also seemed to do something to disable setenforce 0, so I had to downgrade the firmware using the method posted above to get it to work. The safestrap boot also seemed to work fine, and claimed to successfully restore the backup I had made when I tested it.

You can only flash Cynanogenmod or any pure AOSP rom if you are on MDK, which you are not. Being on NG6, your only options for rom's are going to be Touchwiz based as we can't flash any kind of kernal. Having said that, you're only option now is going to be the NC5 full wipe Odin tar that is in the thread found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172. It seems as if you've had problems flashing in Odin, I just returned my phone to NC5 stock this past weekend using the full wipe files found in the link so your issue, assuming you got good downloads, is either hardware (USB cable, port on p.c., port on phone) or you should try a different version of Odin. I used 3.10 and always have and it has always worked like a charm.

Why would you not save the backup to your external SD card?
ETA: Were you using Kies for Windows or Mac?
Seems to be some extra work needs to be done to use a VM:
Samsung Rooting with Odin / VirtualBox / OSX Lion
Using Odin in Mac OSX with Windows as VirtualBox's Guest OS
Hope you don't have a brick.

Yeah, the external backup comment was dumb on my part, I was misinterpreting safestrap's recovery methods. I think the trouble came from using an older version that ng6 was outsmarting.
Thanks for all the info on extra VM work. It did end up working without any extra help: turned out it was just an outdated version of odin, so the VM was functioning fine. It's always the most trivial things. I'm using parallels desktop FWIW. Kies was by way of mac.

HOLY CRAP THANK YOU!! I was running 3.09, odin 3.10 fixed it on the first try. You.. If I could buy you a beer or something.. Thanks, really. to a layman it's always the most trivial little details.
Thanks again, you saved my phone.
