I installed the android update while rooted, I tried to flash back to stock. odin failed now im stuck on a screen that says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
what do I do? how can I get back to stock? SCH i545
anyone? odin fails every time when trying to flash the stock firmware.
Once you install the me7 ota you cant go back to mdk. If you didnt protect root before installing via voodoo rootkeeper youre going to lose root as well. If you flash the me7 update through odin you should be good to go. This issue has been covered a dozen times or more. Some searching and browsing goes a long way.:thumbup:

Figured it would be good to make this common knowledge. If some of you have been following my testing on the knox safe root you'll know this already.
WARNING
It appears that the new mj4 update contains a new bootloader. This seems to prevent downgrades to earlier firmwares.
There have been reports that..
Trying to downgrade from mj4 on even a stock unrooted system will flip knox.
The downgrade may make your phone temporarily unusable.
It appears the only way to recover from a botched downgrade at this time is to use twrp to flash a new system. This will flip knox even if it hasn't been.
There is no official mj4 file at this time. So no way to flash a full mj4 in odin to fix your mistakes.
This is especially troubling for anyone with root and knox 0x0.
If your knox is already 0x1 it's probably not going to be a big deal.
We really need an official mj4 full tar from samsung. Especially if downgrading a stock system flips knox with no warning.

The procedure I've been recommending to recover from this is to install TWRP with odin and flash a mj4 rom in twrp. Freeza's stock rooted mj4 should fix you up if you get stuck.
This will flip knox 0x1.if it's not already.

Sounds to me like Samsung has some explaining to do as to why they did not release this information with the update notes. Seems really shady to me. They can take their KNOX and shove it.
We really could use a full mj4 tar from samsung.

This is true, I totally bricked my phone and its stuck in boot loop because I tried to flash the new software and restore a nandroid. Must be because of the bootloader because now I cant even odin back to stock the phone is toast. So be careful with this new software until we get a full one from samsung.

If your on mj4 mess something up. and you try and flash a mi5 or mi3 backup it fails. And since there is no full mj4 you have to flash a system with twrp.

Ignore the usb error. It's checking for a usb ota device like a memory stick.
Check your download. Should be a md5 to check it against. Maybe a bad download.

Awesome, thanks man
So I have tried every trick under the sun to get my baseband up to MJ4 so I can fully enjoy StrongSteves Odexed Blue. I have been a huge fan of Odexed Blue since the Epic Days.
I am still getting noises in calls and poor wireless signal compared to my friends fully stock MJ4. I have tripped knox and when i try to go to fully stock MI5 for an OTA update, I am told my phone has been modified and cannot receive updates. I can get the build and the firmware to tick up to MJ4 but nothing I try can get the baseband updated. I am on stock kernel.
Can I offer a bounty of around $50 to anyone that can help me?
I will be online for several hours today.
EDIT: Solution is on my reply (#21) on page 3 of this thread.

You have also tried Odin the full stock MJ4? If not just do that, if you have then maybe try this, Odin MI5, reboot to STOCK recovery and factory reset, then Odin MI5 again then reboot to STOCK recovery factory reset again, boot device then set everything up and wait for update. After update, if it takes, flash CF autoroot in Odin, flash TWRP in Odin then go Blue.

I tried this. Everything running at MI5 now, but OTA refuses to run still. I attached some screeshots.
As you can see it says "custom" on the "status page" and whatever is triggering that is preventing OTA.
Have you tried using Wanam X posed to fake the system status?

Weird even if it was custom it should still flash in Odin when you do the stock MJ4 tar. Not sure what you have going on there. Maybe try a different Odin and stock MJ4 Tar. Good luck.

What else can I try to get my baseband up to MJ4? I am almost certain that knox and the custom flag is preventing this, but I am not experienced enough to know how to look at the logs or whatever to prove that.

Maybe try going back to MI3, I think it was MI3 anyway, whatever was before MI5. It is important to do the factory reset and wipe data betweeb ODIN flashes though with the STOCK recovery. Last thing to check is that your MJ4 tar actually has the modems in it.
Firmware and Modem only
Full tar
MI3
Guide and links
Also have you tried removing the sd card? Seems I remember some people having trouble with the sd card in the phone steps would be:
remove SD
wipe data, internal sd, davlik and cache in twrp
odin stock (try MJ4 first to avoid the manual update if that doesnt take go back to MI3)
reboot into STOCK recovery and factory reset a couple times
re odin
before phone boots force it to recovery factory reset again
boot normally and see if you have mj4 (or see if you can get the update)
Once you get the update on the internal storage I think it remains flagged as bad until you wipe it so thus the need to pull the sd card and wipe internal memory. (this is just a theory though)
Let us know if this works
Also remember (just in case) some of the files will download as zips so you will need to extract the to flash the. tar.md5 or .tar file in Odin.

I know you can't downgrade from MJ4 to MI5 I tried that a few times and had to restore a nandroid to be able to boot. It wouldn't flash anything even through odin. I did however downgrade a few times from MI5 to MI3 initially. I don't recall having any issues at all.

The mi5 to mi3 downgrade is no problem.
It's how I first got root before tripping knox. (I had a whole thread on it somewhere)
MJ4 to mi5 not possible.
I guess I can read through this thread a bit.
There shouldn't be a situation where flashing the full samsung mj4 file in Odin won't set you straight...
Is it possibly an Odin pc side driver issue.
In theory the Kies program should be able to wipe it to new also though I've never tried.

If the stock mj4 full samsung file through Odin doesn't do it ???
It should work every time. No matter what.
Though, I would bet any failures here would be a pc/Odin version/driver issue and not really a phone issue.
Of course I've been wrong before I guess.

Right I should clarify in the hopes it may help.
The issue with going back to mi5 from MJ4 is the bootloader and modems don't downgrade.
So at that point you'd have mj4 baseband stuff but mi5 system.
With mi5 a downgrade puts you at full mi3.
However you should still be able to flash the full samsung mj4 package regardless.
There is currently nothing newer out so no worry there.
Inability to flash a full zip from odin, provided it's a good md5 checked complete zip, is 99.99999999% likely to be an issue with odin , the pc, or drivers. (This is in my experience only so fwiw)
If the phone can get in download mode it shouldn't make any difference what information if any even is written to the necessary partitions. These will all be wiped and re installed anyway.
So...
If his baseband is mi5
There are two real options.
Get mi5 back to completely official. To take ota.
Flash a full mj4. (Usually odin, i don't believe the other packages are updating bootloaders, ect.)
In theory this is super simple.
You would just flash the full samsung mj4 in odin.
That should solve all the problems.
And would leave you with a completely stock phone. (With the exception of knox trip but that is a non issue.)
If for some reason you are not able to flash it with odin, you may give Kies a try. It should also be able to fully wipe and recover to the latest update.
Though in this situation I would probably spend my energy troubleshooting odin.
I'm going to stand behind my bet of it being a odin version or driver issue here.
Though if you are able to flash other things in odin it could also just be a bad file.
I have yet to have a phone that I could get into download mode that was not completely recoverable.
Though I have had issues with specific odin versions and drivers especially on windows 8.
Just my opinion. I'm not sure I even know what I'm talking about. And am probably safe to ignore.

I have been trying to get an MI3 image all day but the downloads fail or get interrupted.
I posted some screenshots in a previous post, and no matter what I try, I end up with version and baseband at MI5 and build at MJ5. I can flip flop build and sometimes version, but not baseband at all.
I have tried the wipe and flash trick 3 times in a row, I have tried Odin version 1.85 and 3.07 and 3.09, none of them complete the job. I have also tried going back to MI5 and then running the MJ5 ROM and then reboot into download and run just the baseband update then wipe, nothing.
Looks like I am about 8 hours + until i have a full MI3 rom.
Here I have with me the engineering bootloader for our Galaxy Note 3. It is version NC5 so as long as you're on a KitKat bootloader, you can flash this. I recommend being on software NC5 or NC5D already, but if you are on NAB[D] this will also work. Please note I will not handle support or take responsibility for anything you do outside of flashing this bootloader on recommended software versions.
[size=+1]WARNING[/size]:
This has the potential to BRICK your device, so use it at your own risk.
What is the purpose of this bootloader?
Well, I believe that having this bootloader will allow us to easily flash basebands in the future, as long as you don't flash any Odin TAR files, or take any OTAs, you will retain the bootloader. I do not know if you will be able to downgrade again in the future to this bootloader, but for now, you have it.
Who is this for?
Devs, enthusiasts, flashaholics, people that know what they're doing.
Who this is not for?
Average Joes, those who want to take very little risk with their phones, those who don't know what they're doing or what potential an engineering bootloader has outside of basebands, and those who don't like seeing a bunch of engineering text when booting up, into recovery, or into download mode.
Instructions:
Again, make sure you are already on NC5 or NC5D.
Flash with Odin.
Profit.
Download:
NC5 engineering bootloader
Installing as we speak, I just seen the post for NC5(D) and was wondering when/if this would be released. Thanks freeza, your the man!

It will allow flashing of the baseband, and if you choose to stay on nc5 and not nc5d, then you won't need to flash the update because the stock rooted as well as the baseband are on the way.

Bootloader can go right on top of your setup, interchange with the regular.
That stated, please read the OP and know that which you are getting into (ie, your phone, your property, your risk).
Take a look at the NAB bootloader thread, and its associated comments, for reference.

@micmars, flashing went just fine, I put the tar in the bootloader slot of odin and all, but the baseband and software version after reboot still says nab. Is that because im still on a nab rom? I'm going through the trouble just cuz I'm a guy who likes to keep his devices up to date. And I like a little more than just stock, rom-wise.

You have everything right. The bootloader is what allows you to boot anything. If you like being up-to-date, then that bootloader plus the full build would do it.
But the bootloader alone is now on your device.

Try this 3.07 version, file goes in boot, nothing should be grayed out, you'll be done in less that 10 seconds...

I got it but still it seems like the Baseband should show NC5. Or am I thinking of when you flash a modem?

Your baseband won't change (that'd be modem), this is just what boots the phone up, shuts it down, or bricks it if you have the wrong one.
