Have you rooted it? Try 'reboot recovery' in terminal. What happens?
Yes its rooted..Now to use TWRP since I could not get the stock recovery to work.
Nothing Just reboots....tried re-installing stock FW with the Flash tool and when I upgrade DL it gives me the Factory Reset Status 2
If I Upgrade Board DL.......I get to the OS but no recovery
Have current LG Drivers Current Flash Tools.......Im stumped (No Pun)

We probably will get lollipop via TWRP before ota. If not it won't take long to rip the required parts and package them for TWRP.

Don't take ota's ever! A Dev will make it flashable. Taking the ota can make bump not ever work again and only chainfires new su zip get root on L. Just put that stock recovery image in the trash.

You better take a close look at the zip file.
Within the file is a zip file called firmware.zip.
Within that file updates our recovery and hboot (along with a couple others).
HTC might be trying to take away our root with this. I'm going to wait.
This will update us to 1.90.0008 for our hboot.

In order to install this you would have to re-lock your bootloader, go back to stock (with stock recovery), move this file to /sdcard2/download directory, boot back to hboot and then to recovery. That should work. Then just hope you can root unlock your bootloader again through htcdev so you can get root again.
EDIT: At first glance this will do the following:
Update our hboot, recovery, kernel, mdm9k partition, mdmrcdata partition, pg2fs_spcustom partition, rcdata partition (all from the firmware.zip file), add or change two files to our /system/etc directory, add or change /system/customize/resource directory, add the music2 app and it looks like it changes some 25 drivers (firmware directory).

Did you do a full wipe? Data, cache, Davlik Cache?
It is a Best practice to do a full wipe when coming from a different rom or having problems with them. I had that happen to me and it worked well.

I do not own this phone.
This thread will provide custom recovery ( CWM/TWRP ) flashable zip files of the stock frmware without knox software. This way you need not upgrade using OTA and hence will be able to move between stock and custom firmware if need to.
If you use OTA to upgrade to the latest firmware, your bootloader will be upgraded to facilitate knox. Once updated there is no going back. The roms in this thread will help you overcome this issue.
The only prerequisite is that you are not already running a knox enabled bootloader. You can find this out by going into download mode and checking if knox entries are shown in bootloader screen.
You will have the following advantages.
Bootloader is not touched, hence any compatible rom can be flashed, including custom roms
Only Samsung knox files are removed
Root & Busybox
Stock kernel
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Procedure
Download the Odin version of Philz recovery or my custom twrp recovery and flash.
Reboot to recovery first else custom recovery will be replaced by stock recovery.
Flash the ROM zip file
Reboot and Njoy...
As an additional step, you can flash the modem that comes with the ROM. The procedure to flash the modem is given below.
Use Odin v3.04
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
Downloads
All files can be downloaded from my Mega folder. Choose the mega link and select SPH-L600 STOCK FIRMWARE folder. MD5 hash values are available in a separate file inside the folder.

Well now that I'm over being a wise guy, I think what I'm reading is that with this apk you can do outbound calls and texts, just not on LTE. Is that correct? And is the phone apk rom specific? Like so many others, I'm guessing, I'm really itching to ditch the Sprint stock rom. But wait... just this second for the umpteenth time my phone is telling me that I have left the network with roaming turned off (sitting in my living room, smack dab in the middle of an LTE coverage area.) This is killing me!! Haha!!

You shouldn't have this problem on a stock ROM. I suggest you flash the modem that came with the ROM. Its available as a separate Odin flashable tar file.

Yeah that's what I think. I downloaded it the other day so I'll do that this morning. As an aside, I really need to dig in and learn how to do this (cook/build,) but I'm a school teacher with almost no time to devote to my own education in this regard. I have been looking around at some of the guides but there is some much information that I'm not really sure where to start (suggestions?). I tend to be a bit obsessive/compulsive when it comes to technology, so much so that my friends and family often start to wonder "what happened to me." I imagine others can relate. On spring break this week; time to play.
Thank you.

Very funny, Mr.Nair. And I'm an English teacher to boot! I would relish having someone with experience to mentor me. Just to show you how much teachers look forward to their breaks(read mental exhaustion,) I discovered today that after flashing a custom recovery and rooting this little Sprint demon the other day, I had NOT flashed the firmware you uploaded. Can't believe I didn't do that. This came to light after I flashed the CM ROM for I9205 (I know, NOT recommended, but I did it for kicks.) Your CM build installed beautifully, and I was able to connect to WiFi, but of course I didn't have a cell data connection. I flashed the L600 modem in Odin a couple times on top of CM and applied various settings using the phone apk moosiemooses linked and eventually did get a mobile data connection, but I couldn't make it persistent. I wound up restoring the nandroid I made the other day; this is when I discovered that I hadn't flashed the firmware version in your Mega folder. So I did that after lunch today, flashed the modem twice and after a bit of fiddling all seems to be working well. I'm fairly new to this carrier and the network seems a bit finicky, but that's just my opinion. I spent most of the day doing this, and I think I learned something in the process, just not clear about what that is exactly.<g>
Thanks.

My clean flash didn't work as you know J. I did a dirty flash after a nand restore and it's running great. I noticed I am able to write to the extsd now for backups. Will continue to test. I am on firmware 1.32.651.17. Using TWRP 2.8.6.3 from Captain. With the beta SU v2.48.
I’m unlocked with TWRP, can test any time!
One thing I noticed with the dirty flash, when usb debugging is on, my pc doesn't see the phone. With it off, I can transfer files. It does charge either way.

Tried another clean install this time from the internal storage. Still had the same problem during setup. Seems setup gets interrupted and restarts setup again. It's a continuous loop. Almost like a bootloop with out the rebooting. You can tell processes are running in the back ground. Because when you turn off the display and back on again, in lock screen I am getting emails and apps are updating text are coming threw and voice mail.

Would you kindly post a link to the link got 2.8.6.3.. I believe the issues are due to an old version of twrp recovery.
rom tesing
i'm down. i have twrp. i rendered my m9 useless so i'll flash away. i don't have a valid backup to restore to as i didn't make one before flashing a UK rom by mistake.

This might not help you just yet. It won't complete setup to bootup normally. Unless OMJ would link you to a completely stock rom.

I'm in the same boat. A completely stock rom would be wonderful. My backup somehow got corrupted and fails to restore.
I was going to root my wife's s4 (unlimited data) to have tethering due to the internet situation at my house ( 1mb download) but don't see a hack for the unlimited data plan phones.
Are there any out there?
Thanks
James
Yes. Root the phone and put a custom ROM. It does not matter what the plan is.
Ok so the custom Roms have the WiFi tether built in then?
Thanks

Ok cool. So does safe strap work with 5.0.1 or is there something else now?
And what Roms are good to look at?
Thanks
No there is only flashfire.
The best rom I've used is stang rom but any lollipop rom will work.

Or you can flash Muniz_ri's stock rooted roms (OC1 or OF1) then flash the tether hack in the same thread. If it's for your wife and she doesn't want crazy features that custom roms have, that may be the way to go.
This is the most updated stock firmware, only difference is it's rooted, and there are detailed instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545of1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3182544

Make sure when you flash those that you set the screen off timer to 10 mins, it can't hurt

Thanks I'm downloading the first one. Already in the mix of downloading the second link before you sent to me.
Still trying to figure out what happened...
I followed directions to a t and still bricked it.
I got it to boot up after doing Odin tar. I'm going to try again with the stock ROM. Lol yea I'm a dare devil. I've got a back up if needed.

Ya just try again. I hear that Flashfire may have timeout issues, so I always set my screen timeout to 10 minutes and I push the volume buttons every minute or so; don't know if it helps but it doesn't hurt

Also you can't use lollipop in slots. Must be on stock slot.
