I was trying to flash an updated version of the ROM i had, but a verizon message came up, essentially telling me my bootloader was still locked. I looked it up, and the fix is supposedly flashing it back to stock, which I tried, but it has no internet connection (wifi or service) and it loaded the ROM i had been trying to install earlier.
I double checked my model number, to see if that did anything, and it's changed from what it was when I flashed the first ROM, so i tried flashing the firmware for that model, but Odin just gives me a fail message for that, so i can get my ROM to run, but my internet is borked, and I can't get it back to stock to see if that fixes it.
Because I can't get internet access it's screwing up a lot of my attempts to fix it, and my computer refuses to read it, so I can't do anything from that end.
Also, while my WiFi refuses to turn on (switch pops back to grey after trying to turn it on) my service bars act like they're receiving, changing up and down, but they're greyed out and the carrier name is 'Empty'.

Original Build: if you mean what I was using before flash, I can't find the link to it, it was one of the first stock android ROMs for the GS4. If you mean prior to that, it was the standard Samsung TouchWiz the GS4 comes with.
I was trying to flash the ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340783
I flashed it using TWRP > wipe data/cache, factory reset > install zip > wipe dalvik cache > boot. When that didn't seem to work, I tried flashing stock using Odin, as I can't get the zips onto my phone now.

I mean the last official build the phone was on before you started flashing. (MDK, ME7, MI1, MJ7 or MK2)
Did you ever take any OTA's?
When you say TWRP, do you mean TWRP with Safestrap or just TWRP?

Erm, I believe it was MDK, but I'm not certain, and I wouldn't know how to go about checking that retroactively if I could.

OK so if your phone was running Twrp, and not SafeStrap twrp, we can then probably assume your phone was on MDK.

I don't know what you want exactly, the name of the file I tried to use to flash back to stock is 'SCH-I545_MD2_423399_Kernel.tar', I can't link because xda says I can't link outside sources until 10 posts, and I'm a tad new.

It has a very nice set of instructions that the first one I linked you to doesn't.
That links you to the no wipe MDK tar file. You should be OK to use that one.
Very important that you use the MDK file and not one of the others as those will lock your phone back up and no more custom recovery for you.
Its fairly easy. Let me know how I can help

If you run into problems with the no wipe tar files in the second link go and download the mdk tar file from

And try that.

I got my phone back to stock, made sure my internet was working, rooted it, installed TWRP, and everything worked fine, but I have a question that might be a bit out of the bounds of this post. When I tried to use TWRP to flash stock android onto it I get the message "Verizon has detected unauthorized software [etc]". This is linked to the bootloader, if I recall correctly, but I can't find some really good help with it.
Further help would appreciated, but what you've done already has helped me far more than I had hoped when I posted, so thank you, oh so much.

this is what worked for me.
I too took kies update . Couldn't root ,went back to ne6 rooted again with towel root, then iPC odin flashed the nf6 modem after that i PC odin flashed the nf6 firmware. I did not see the kernel in beanstowns stock official thread. So i downloaded the full tar. Moved it to my sdcard. Flashed only kernel , recovery and system WITH MOBILE ODIN PRO. Since i already had installed modem and firmware seperately
. Mobile odin pro worked like a charm. Rooted knox oxo not tripped!
MOBILE ODIN PRO WILL GIVE A RED WARNING SAYING IT WILL TRIP KNOX . BUT IT DID NOT TRIP IT THIS TIME.
SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE NOTE 3.
update, it was brought to my attention by 1iwilly that mobile odin pro after installation causes the device to have a custom status. i uninstalled it and my phone said official but after a while i noticed that somehow supersu had disappeared . some of my apps antutu and cpuz said i had root access but the root checker apps said i was not rooted. i tried towel root again on mf6 no go. i was not able to install supersu from the play market or any of the apks from chainfire. the error was that it was incompatible and i think it may have had something to do with installing mobile odin pro as a system app and later deleting it.
luckily a factory reset made supersu come back and i then updated it.i was back to official status . i again installed mobile odin pro this time from the market. im not sure but i suspect that whether it is a system app or not it will say custom status if it is installed., the important thing is knox does not get tripped regardless/. and if need be flashing an unrooted full tar from pc odin or even factory reset will make status official again. (if needed for warranty} as far as ota updates custom status would prevent them but i dont mind that as ota probably would fail anyway and if it did suceed it would surely unroot. so i decided custom status is worth keeping my root apps.
BOTTOM LINE
if you prefer to have official ststus do not inject mobile odin while flashing only inject supersu and tick everoot. if you end up with root issues a factory reset may fix them as it did for me

hey ashraf sharif can you add this to your op this is from geohot=every android phone with a kernel date up to june 3=the key word up to june 3
so to me this mean that when we get another update we might have to re flash to n6 then do the same steps as we did with nf6. that's just my 2cents way of thinking i could be wrong but time will tell

ok so if i already install the nf6 firmware and modem thru pc odin i just down loaded the new mobile odin install it i copy the full tar to my sd card
what are the next steps just to flash the kernel.??

well i would load the full tar under open file. Then clear modem and modem 2 as you already have them and do not need to replace those files. This will leave you with kernel. Recovery, and system. Tick enable everoot . Inject supersu. Inject mobile odin and wipe dalvick cache then flash
thanks will try that like a dumb ass i put the whole zip file on sd card instead of unzipping it then putting the tar file on card.

thanks for pointing out the custom status.that was not there last time i looked.mobile odin installs itself as a system app. but like you said after uninstalling it system status is back to official.many root apps do that. also be careful if/when uninstalling system apps. i remember on my s3 i uninstalled chat on and my status turned custom. reinstalling and even factory resetting didnt work because it reinstalled as a regular user app. only re flashing firmware fixed that. btw mobile odin pro does not always root properly. sometimes it cant install supersu. dont forget to get busybox without it most root apps dont work

This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.

And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.
The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.
Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

Yeah, I did it via download mode.
So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.
If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.
All good now =)

you need to revert to ne6 firmware for towel root to work. once rooted you can upgrade with mobile odin pro this will allow you to retain root and not trip knox

this was easy and thank you. i downgraded with the full stock file, no data loss. grabbed mobile pro and im now at ng3 rooted. tho my e-mail will not work. might have to factory reset the device.
Note: this is Kitkat 4.4.4, not Lollipop.

Please check to make sure I got the correct file before flashing to your phone.

Update: After being rooted with CF-Auto-Root and installed philz_touch_6.48.4, and MJ4 modem (due to domestic sim unlock), this ROM still has working fm radio(with Nextradio)/screen mirroring/video camera, . That's the only ROM that got all 3 functions working among several ROMs I tested. Isn't this awesome?!
Use Kies and download it.

You should try Wanam Xposed. It fools Kies and let's me download.

Kingo is trying to root but it doesn't seem to be working. Just cycles through checking ROOT status, Downloading requisite dependency files, waiting for device....

I'll assume you're on a custom recovery... Follow this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Scroll down to "CWM / TWRP / Mobile ODIN installable ZIP" and grab the link in there. Flash in recovery and you should be good to go.

I can't post external links yet (I've been lurking in the shadows of this site for darn near 4 years and NEVER post, haha... so work with me here).
Google "install twrp via odin sprint note 3" first hit should be for "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Sprint) - TeamWin"
Scroll down to Download - Odin Method.
Install TWRP via ODIN
Install SuperSu via my first link.
Used Wanam Xposed and phone status is set to offical, but Kies still think mine is the lastest. Anyway, I will stick with 4.4.2 for working video camera, screen mirroring and fm.

You can ODIN the full stock .tar and then follow up with TWRP and flash your ROM after that.
I just did this process to upgrade from NH7 and then re-flashed Tema's CM12.
Cf auto root will root it
Anyone got a link to Cf auto root for sm900p? I get bandwidth exceeded when I download from chainfire
No issues rooting and installing TWRP on NK4 for me. My steps were as follows:
1. Downloaded the official N900PVPUDNK4_N900PSPTDNK4_SPR from the links in the OP.
2. Backed up my rooted NH7 (via Titanium Backup and TWRP) just in case.
3. Wiped everything via TWRP recovery.
4. Odin (v3.09) NK4 using the AP slot and let the phone reboot.
4b. Probably overkill but I then did a factory wipe via stock recovery and rebooted.
5. Odin TWRP 2.8.1.0 and rebooted into recovery.
6. Installed Chainfire's SuperSU-2.40.zip via TWRP recovery and rebooted the phone.
7. Immediately got rid of all the bloat using Titanium Backup!
So far I haven't run into any issues.
Did you ever get it to work?

My software and baseband are both nk4.
I went full stock nh7 and updated ota.
When I updated to nh7 (when it was new), I used kies... It only updated one and caused me problems. I had to flash both via odin to fix back then.
Ya looks like my baseband never took I'll have to fix at a later point. Phones working fine though. It's weird.

You might want to try to power off before odin. Sometimes modem wont be updated if odined after a mere reboot.

ya your right. i forgot about that. i did a battery pull last time. well since my baseband is still nh7 . ill be reflashing nh7 tar. then back up to nk4 in about a hr when off work.
i managed to get the OF6 sprint full rom file through kies.
this is only to be flashed using odin in the ap slot.
you will probably lose root and your custom recovery.
you may be able to root it and restore the data . That up to you to try.
This is the Sprint version Only!
here is the link: if someone wants to provide a mirror that would be appreciated.
Disabling 'Reactivation Lock' from 'Security' in the settings allowed me to root and add a custom recovery (TWRP).
your on your own from here!

It's always great to have a TAR file on PC. Thanks!
But btw, this is Android 5.0 update, right? Have read on android blogs that OF6 has been 5.1 update for T-Mobile Galaxy S6 sets. So..
Okay, it's 5.0.2. Brings Reactivation lock.

First is this a necessary update? Second does one have to update to OD3 first before doing the update. I'm still on OA6

no you dont have to update and no it isnt necessary. but if you are on stock OA6 I would take to guess that this rom is 5 months newer with improvements in alot of areas. they claim its for factory reset protection (so someone cant steal your phone and just factory reset it and it theirs now) and for reactivation protection (same thing so noone can reactivate the phone and make it theirs)
if i was on straight stock i would update. if i was on a stock rooted i would either try and root it or wait for someone to root the tar file and make it flashable through recovery.
thats my take on it.
cool... thanks. I like the security features, but at the same time I may wait till the new Moar comes out to do the work.

Has anyone successfully loaded a custom recovery and possibly one of the available OA6 ROMs after updating to this full tar?
I know there are separate modem and firmware files, but I was just curious if anyone has tried to go there from full stock.

Yes. In fact, I did a full rom install, with nand erase all (after a bad flash), and I still went back to OA6 and OD3 stock deodexed roms.
Flashing TWRP from Odin works fine after flashing OF6 or OD3. I also used the CF one click root method, and that also worked for me.
Everything I did was in Odin 3.10.6.
Chainfires auto root makes odin complains about the recovery and shows 'fuse>3', which (I assume) means I've already burnt thru three of the 400+ fuses in the phone (kernel, recovery and probably rooting). I've tried odin 3.10.6 and the version that comes with chainfires auto root. Towelroot v3 says my phone isn't supported, even when using the command mod options.
I'll boot back into Windowz and try this a few more times. I don't see/know how joshdv rooted his phone...
edit: let's add insult to injury. I can't downgrade the firmware/OS to OA6, says it fails OS version.

Maybe it would help if you posted the link to the autoroot tar and any special steps you took to get it working.

Ya, before I flashed this, I knew I was probably stuck with OF6 and that there currently wasn't a reliable method to get root. Now, it's a waiting game to see if someone comes up with a method/hack to root this. GooooOOOOO CHAINFIRE!!!

Depends how long you're willing to wait and if you want to keep the warranty bit untripped.
If it doesn't matter, you can still flash custom recovery in odin and any one of the pre-rooted custom or stock roms that will run on the lollipop bootloader.
