I encrytped my flash version of 4.4.4. Needed to go bak to stock, but was not able to decrypt the phone. I wiped from TWRP and restored stock image, but the phone asks for the decrypt password. I tried the one that was set, but doesn't work.
So I tried to odin and no wipe image, still asks for decrypt password. Anyone know whwre I can get a stock image and be able to flash it to remove the encryption?
Please help if you can.
thanks

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for a Kitkat version. I;m on MDK now.
I check the link you pointed me to and saw this "MK2 1 File Complete System Downgrade Odin Package (unrar and load in AP slot of Odin flash and your at MK2! Its that EASY!"
Now would that take me from mdk to mk2. this section confuses me. I read elsewhere that I loose ability to install custom recovery. Would that be true here?
Thanks for any help!

You most definately DONT want to do that! You are correct that you will lose custom recovery abilities :crying:.
The few times I had to odin back, I followed this for MDK recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381382.
Been a while tho, not sure all the links are still there.......
grab the mdk version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776189
you dont want to flash anything newer bc you will lose custom recovery.
my recommended procedure: after flashing that tar in odin, boot your phone, dont take any updates, and use towel root to root your phone, flashify to flash twrp, then flash your ROM of choice
ya sorry, definitely wouldn't want to loose custom recovery. i never had that option since i started on NG6. i'm stuck with safestrap!

How can I install TWRP on my unrooted Note? and Which is the easiest way to install it?
Searching through the forums I haven't found any specific instructions but if I've read correctly it seems that through ODIN is the easiest way.
Where can I get the latest ODIN for the Note i717?
Could someone be so kind to provide some instructions and links?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You don't need to be rooted to flash a rom or install a recovery. Root is for access to the system files of the rom after it boots and loads.

How can I install a recovery without having to root my phone first? What's the procedure
All the instructions I've found require the Note to rooted first.
Rom already on sdcard.
Recovery tar in Odin.
Flash recovery with Odin
Boot into new recovery and flash rom.
Rom will be rooted once booted.
Bingo, the EASIEST way th go from bones stock to custom rom.

thanks for this , man..my wife's Note was never rooted, and she wants it done, so I will try this way..
sounds waaaaay too easy though!
I didn't mention that that this method will trip the flash counter
As I don't give one care about what my flash counter says unless I get a hardware defect within my year of ownership I didn't mention that before.
There are ways to reset it so don't even worry about until the day comes where you need to.
And just where do we find the TWRP. tar...... That we flash with Odin.....
All I see is how to Install TWRP using
GOO MANAGER..... And that requires root..
Which the OP doesn't want to do....

flash the CWM tar first, and after you go through all the other steps, and are rooted, download and install TWRP..
Like the above poster said, but skip the root step. So CWR using Odin and occasionally, then TWRP by using CWR, done.
Ok..... So we need the CWR.tar, for Odin...
Any links please?
Then.... We need the TWRP file to put on our SD...
Any link to the TWRP too please?
Thanks for all your help...
In keeping the OP's note un-rooted...
See the super everything thread. The tar file is there. The TWRP zip is in the original development thread.
Hey guys. Thanks for the responses.
I see that some of you are recommending to odin CWR and then use CWR to flash TWRP.
On the TWRP page there is this link to the following page http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/ which has the different TWRP files and there is a TWRP .tar file. File name: openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-quincyatt.img.tar
Can I just odin the above file instead of odin CWR first?
Where can I find the latest ODIN? I've looked for downloads but haven't found it. A link would be much appreciated.
Once again, thanks.

As long as its a .tar and contains a recovery.img whichever you choose is just that, your choice.
ok so i know the SACS thread is closed. i was reading on youtube that the reason that V4 was giving people (including me) network problems is because of the baseband. its saying to be on version N900PVPUCNC5. i checked and im on Version N9000PVPUCNAB. im just asking for a little help. i really like sacs. so is there any way to revert to N900PVPUCNC5 so i can make v4 work? any suggestions will help. thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715034 nab is the old version. You are most likely having problems because you need to upgrade (not revert) to nc5. Read through that link then grab the file and flash in Odin. After you Odin to nc5 you will need to reinstall a recovery so make sure you have that file ready. After you install recovery you need to wipe everything including your internal sd and system. Reboot recovery and install sacs rom. Not much to it just sounds like there is a lot.

I recently purchased an MDK device and I was wondering if anyone could let me know what recoveries I can flash.
You are now able to install any recovery on the s4! Want TWRP? You can get it. CWM, no problem. Heck, safestrap might even work. And you can flash any s4 ROM you want like the gpe ROM, octorom, cyanogenmod. Have fun with mdk! Still need a device with mdk myself XD.

I don't know if you can answer this, but when you say any TWRP recovery, do you mean ANY? Are all versions of TWRP loki'd? And how do I install a new custom recovery if I already have one? Do I use recovery tools app? And do I have to remove the other one first? Sorry for the barrage of questions, I'm just not looking to screw anything up on a fresh MDK device.
For TWRP, Just go to the play store and download Goo Manager, and that will install the latest TWRP when you choose to install it. If you need to uninstall a custom recovery, you will need to use odin 3.07 or above and the MDK full wipe .tar file (Im trying to find it for you as of now, will reply when found) and flash the stock mdk firmware so you can use loki/root and install a new recovery and a custom rom.
OK because the device comes with CWM installed. Can I update it through CWM ROM manager? And goomanager is no longer supported as an app. Also, where do I download gapps?

I have a no wipe MDK.tar file. What's the difference between full and no wipe? And any ideas for my questions on my last post? Sorry for asking so many. Just don't want to mess anything up.
Full wipe will delete everything, but it will be able to 100% delete any recovery if you dont want, the no wipe will keep data but restore every partition, i think that includes recovery, if you need to keep the data, try the no wipe, and see if recovery is there, if not, you can install CWM from the play store or find a flashable TWRP for odin, depending on preference. And if you want to just keep CWM, i think the CWM app should be able to update it. Also didnt know goomanager wasnt a thing anymore. Havent used a custom recovery in a year or two, stuck with safestrap.

Now can I flash the no wipe or full wipe through CWM? Or just the no wipe? I'm guessing just the no wipe.
I dont believe both can be flashed in CWM, both say to use odin.

I just read through the thread and sensed confusion. Use Odin 3.09 (just google it) to flash (in the AP box) The MDK full Wipe tar.md5, that will set the device to stock MDK, then download either CWM (http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-jfltevzw.img) or TWRP (http://goo.im/devs/s0updev/gooinsideme) and flash one of them with Flashify from the Play Store.
Download the ROM of your choice and place on SD Card and install using your Custom Recovery, use Gapps from here for CM (http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip), here for AOSP (http://highonandroid.com/android-apps/download-android-4-4-4-gapps/) and Touchwiz ROMs should already contain them because they are licenced to.

No odin needed. Just download and flash via flashify.
Also, this is a bit off of the current conversation, but for some reason my Google Apps aren't updating themselves. I don't have the material design Play Store or any of the very recent updates for the Google Apps. Any ideas?
This is the Odin flashables for the PH1 update retrieved from Kies3. I find it different that the ROM is in four files, and I don't know how to combine them. You will actually need to select all four check boxes in Odin 3.11 or newer, and select the correct files based on their prefixes. Just a reminder: remember to backup everything so you don't lose anything!

Thank you for this, if I'm wanting to keep my custom recovery and be rooted would I just select the BL, CP, and CSC then flash the stock rooted in TWRP? And can I load all 3 in Odin at once or is there an order I should flash in? I remember when I flashed to OK2 I had to do a specific order and pull the battery in between, wasn't sure if that's still the case. Thanks in advance.
I honestly don't know about the custom recovery using the Odin flash. You could try it, but you'd have to reinstall your SU binaries. These files will not work in TWRP. As for loading the files in Odin, yes, you load all of them at the same time. I would recommend trying the prerooted ROM I posted first.

Thank you, the pre-rooted ROM is in 7zip, doesn't it have to be zipped? Should I just extract and zip?
**edit** Nevermind, I bit the bullet and flashed the Odin file then my custom recovery afterwards. All is working, thank you for the guide and files.
Problem extracting files from the PHI zip
I'm trying to extract the files to a folder, but getting "unknown compression method" error so files won't extract. Is this common? Anyone seen this before? Is there another way to extract the files so I can load them individually into Odin?

Hey everyone, I gave up on my note about a year ago (rip, still miss the swappable batteries and easy back button) and would like to reset it. From what I remember, the phone has TWRP installed and boots to the stock rom slot every boot. How can I reset this to full stock? Can I use the built in recovery or would that have been wiped?

and a dll file, do I need this dll?
The instructions https://paste.ee/p/vaaNq
Say "Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data."
I want to do a full wipe, does that mean I rename the file or not? And which slots do I check / load files into, just AP?

If you only have one file put it in the AP slot. Don't worry about the CSC, check or uncheck the right boxes and start Odin. If it doesn't wipe everything and I think it will, you can do a factory reset after the install. Good luck.
