after a long wait for the firmware to be released of the S4 running OH7 , it still has not been released. However i decided to make it myself and now we finally have it. I have tested it on my S4 that came with OH7 build originally. So here you go guys, Firmware containing OH7 running lollipop 5.0.1 with stock kernel 3.4 of mon Sep. 7 2015.
little guide to help you install the firmware if you need it.
you will find the firmware link below that i have uploaded and as for odin you can just google it. now im sure you can use other versions of odin but always safest to be up-to-date.
you will need: OH7 firmware file (Download link at the bottom), odin 3.10.7, WinRar and USB data cable
steps:
1. put phone into download mode by holding the home+vol up+power keys at the same time.
2. plug your phone into your PC (be sure drivers for the phone are installed correctly)
3. open up your handy tool of Odin
4. open up the firmware file you have downloaded in Winrar and extract it, you will then be given an MD5 File containing the firmware
5. click on "AP" in odin and browse for the file (odin might not respond after that but be patient, it will)
6. after the program responds, double check that F. Reset time and Auto Reboot are the ONLY ones ticked/checked
7.Go ahead and hit start and sit back for a few minutes and let odin do its thing
8. after all goes well and in the top box says "PASS!" then your phone will reboot and be good as new.
Just a heads up that this firmware is meant and made for the prepaid variant of the Verizon S4. I wouldnt recommend trying it on the postpaid S4 for the postpaid firmware has negative effects on the prepaid variant so id assume it have the same outcome on postpaid variant. Also im not responsible like anyone else out there if you brick your phone by not following the steps correctly or flashing it incorrectly in some way. Just a disclaimer that everyone puts out on here. hope this helps everyone. enjoy!
If the link becomes a broken link, let me know and i will update. i just need to move the file from time to time due to high data traffic

now that i have released the stock firmware of OH7, i am trying to Deodex this also but keep getting failed start ups. i used LBD 2.5 to try an deodex and followed the guide but i hear start up sound not even a second and it stops and it dont show the verizon logo. i used flashfire to flash the deodexed files. so that being said, could some actual dev, deodex this firmware for i cannot? id really appreciate it and id share the deodexed firmware on the thread as well with of course giving proper credit to whomever can deodex it. thanks!

This needs to be maken into a rom first as well before deodexed but i can do both actually if you don't know how to build a rom.

Well if you could do both, I'd really appreciate it. I can't even begin to understand how to extract an md5. So confusing. Plus gotta get it to work with flash fire. I tried other roms with flashfire and kept getting system not responding. So I always had to Odin back to stock and on the custom rom I never get even a boot animation. So I'm not sure what's up with it

Flash fire is horrible. Use v24 seems to be the best atm. I can do both. In the middle of mod'ing the s5 rom I made. But after I build it I would have you test it 1st before deodexing as you want to make sure it boots 1st before moving on.

I think I tried your rom before. Your username was on a rom that I tried. It was non mdk which was said to use. I used flashfire beings I can't have safestrap on lollipop. It's all I could use to flash things thanks to a locked bootloader. But I'll try your suggestion and I can surely test what you put out for the s4. Just need an idea of what to use to flash things. And you talking version 24 of flashfire? Cause I already use that an got those outcomes. Also if it makes it any easier on you, could you just rebuild your ultranote5 rom for the prepaid variant? Whichever is easier for you. I loved the feature list that you had for it though I couldn't get it to get past the boot screen cause it would like freeze at the animation but at the same time there wasn't even an animation. Just a quick Samsung sound that doesn't even finish. Wish I knew more about rom development but it can get get complex I think.

Not sure if it's still an issue or not, but I had similar problems before. Flashfire didn't seem to be finishing backups or flashes. I think I was using v18 or 19. Setting the screen timeout to 10 minutes fixed it, no problems after that and I just set it back when I'm done.

My screen never shut off when I used flashfire. So I'm not sure. Could be something in flashfire being it was made for the s4. Not the prepaid variant. So maybe some code in it is different in the postpaid. Who knows

Ah, not sure about that. I'm pretty sure my screen would shut off and then reboot shortly afterward as if it finished properly. I also just remembered that flashfire used to rearrange the order that the operations were added and would move the wipe toward the bottom of the list, usually after the flash. I would double check that the order is correct before starting if you haven't already. Those two were the only problems I had. Hope those tips help in some way.

Well far as I know I'm using the up to date version which is .24. I haven't had the screen off issue or the rearranging problem. Flashfire showed what it was doing and what order it did it in. Everytime I used it, if the screen went black, it would say rebooting...after all was finished. So maybe the version you had was just buggy which the dev did say its a work in progress. Stuff like that, I'd be surprised if they got it to work perfectly with no bugs

I am more then willing to test any roms out as well. My new Galaxy S4 prepaid is only for tethering on my unlimited data, so I need a rom that I can install Xposed Framework on. Any rom that comes out and needs testing for OH7 based phones, I am onboard with.

Well I am looking to install xposed as well but we gotta wait for the dev to have free time to rebuild a rom to the oh7. Well at least he has two people willing to test now for him. How did you get unlimited data with Verizon? They so stingy with data
Sorry been busy. Will build it tonight. Already deodexed. Just got to build it. If all you doing is using it for a hot spot why waste time building a rom for it. Dl a app and use your hot spot. I use foxfi on my s7 edge. Works np.
Let me know. Thought this was for people to actually use.

Black screen means the order was incorrect and wipe was moved to the end.

I'm not looking to use it for the hotspot. I already can use it without any problems. I'm just wanting a custom rom/modded stock rom, I hate full stock and I love being deodexed. I'm sure more people will use your rom once they discover it.
If you believe that flashfire moved the order around, what can I do to stop that? The log in it says what it's doing and it says it's going in correct order so im not sure. Ive been using v24 which is latest I think

Flash Fire moves it on its own right before you flash. You have to press and hold wipe and drag it to the top. It does this a lot. Pain in the arse. Ok I'll build it then just wasn't sure

I did that cause it put it at the bottom at default. I moved it to the top but still got same outcome. Maybe it's something to do with the kernel an bootloader bring different? That's my guess

Well I tried out your ultra note5 and non mdk one. I believe the ultra note wouldn't show the boot animation and cut off booting sound after a second then did nothing. The other one which was the non mdk one, didn't show boot animation but made the Samsung sound correctly but after booting into the system like ten minutes later of waiting, I get a pop up of system is not responding. If I ignore it an let it load another ten minutes or so, the setup wizard opens but if I hit wait or close on the system not responding box, it all closes and goes to black screen again and just repeats

All you have to do is add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop file and then you can remove or freeze the entitlement check app if you want to. Sprint model requires ro.mot.tether_dun_required to change from 1 to 0.
For people who don't want to mess with modifying their build.prop file or use xposed. I made an app which requires Root, that will run a setprop command to bypass the check until you reboot. If you want it to last after a reboot you can select apply of boot to run the command after every reboot. This was tested and confirmed by cvhovey thanks to him for testing it for me, since I have free tethering. This is my first app so I hope you Enjoy it! I want to say thanks to jcase's slapmymoto and the developer of adaway, I used their github sources as references when I couldn't get something working. Also androidicons for the icon template, and Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting setpropex working on KitKat.

Hey guys, I just wanted to update and say it won't boot on the Verizon dev edition like the T-mobile rom will. It freezes for me on the Moto Earth boot animation. Noo! Well darn, I was wanting to try the sprint rom to see if I could get google wallet tap to pay working on my vzw dev phone since no one has figured out how to make tap to pay work on the non-sprint variants.
I booted the deodex version just fine on my vzw Dev edition. I wiped my data and wiped cached before flashing. I didn't try g wallet

YES!!!! It worked!!! LOL. Anyway, have you/anyone noticed anything when trying to alter the stock boot.img? Seems like anything I tried (not a whole bunch really) with the kernel/boot.img made it non-bootable? Pretty much if it hits the bootloader unlocked screen and doesn't vibrate.....its a no go? Wondering if theres some type of checksum for the boot.img? Not too sure about wallet ATM. Don't really use it, and this is based off the OTA so....I'd assume it should be fine? I remember some stuff way back on this, may have to step back and see if there's something to utilize. This isn't my first rodeo.....but it's the first one I've entered.:laugh:

Yeah I wipe three times before flashing and I wiped cache and dalvik again before booting. I wonder what the issue is. I downloaded the odex and not deodex but I don't see it being the difference between booting and freezing. Hmm. I'm back on the T-Mobile rom now. I'll have to try again with the deodex tomorrow

Was just using the kitchen tool. Anytime I touched the boot.img it wouldn't boot up..... Or it would not vibrate at the splash screen, boot up, but not "see" user touches on the screen. Acted like the digitizer was totally off. Something I noticed is if it vibrates at the splash, it was good. No vibrate, definitely something would be wrong. Going to take my time with it next week.

I recommend wiping system and data too and trying. Just make a backup first. And/or try using your normal boot.img instead of the one in the zip.

i take it then you arent packing the Device tree file to the boot.img.
http://pastebin.com/tSGxTmYq save this script, run it against stock boot.img. youll get a DTB.img, extract your boot.img, edit what you want in ramdisk or swap zimages. then use a modified mkbootimg to include the dtb file as part of it all

I got the sprint deodex rom booting on my vzw dev edition doing like you said. But sadly I found google wallet would not work. It just sat saying "finishing up a few things." So I guess unfortunately there is a hardware issue preventing wallet from working on the non-sprint variants. That sucks!!!
I don't understand why but I noticed between the t-mobile, verizon, and sprint roms that the signal bars are slightly different on every one. Sprint's seems to be stretched out a little more and have an extra bar or two. I hate all of them though because the grey has some funky white lines through it where the separations are instead of being solid grey. I don't know what was wrong with the stock android signal bars that none of the carriers wanted them

Honestly have no clue about SS. I would have to say no. No sure what needs to be done for it to be SS flashable.
Added 4.4 links. Thank abiezer for letting me link to his deodex 4.4 build HERE!
I plan on adding the SPRINT specific firmwares, and more in due time.
Just picked up my note 3 running 4.3 an hour ago and have not unlocked/rooted/custom recovery it yet, still 100% stock. There is an OTA available and I was wondering if I should take it before rooting?
Thanks in advance
You can either, accept the ota and then root(which I never liked accepting a ota cause Im cautious of downloads being corrupt.) Or you can download a odin version of kitkat and flash thru odin then root(which is what I did)
Thank you very much for your answer MrWicked! One more question if I may ... I just came from US Cellular with the Note 2 to Sprint with the Note 3 - we had very little development there compared to here. I have read a ton of topics on here today about Knox, NAB engineering bootloader, Odin ... etc. and I understand that and how to follow instructions, but I see several different ways. I was wondering which method you used or would suggest? All I am trying to accomplish at this point is root, custom recovery, a (close to) stock rom, (hopefully) not trip the Knox trigger, and run titanium backup (which I read there are issues with that I have to fix afterwards).
Ok couple things, no matter what root method you chose once you flash a recovery it will trip knox. So that being said you have a couple options......
1. You flash via odin the kitkat update and use the "kingo" root method which I personally have not tried and can't give much input on. It is not supposed to trip knox it leaves you rooted but with your stock recovery. Once you flash a recovery you trip knox. But you are stuck with a stock rooted rom in which you could use titanium backup.
2. You flash the kitkat via odin, and you use Chainfire's method(which is what i did personally) I have always had good luck with Chainfire's root methods. but then it trips knox and you can flash a recovery and flash what ever roms you like. But at this time technically you warranty is voided with Samsung.

I would wait on kitkat. I have been running it on a stock n3 for about a wk now and I'm not liking it at all. my bluetooth for my car is very buggy, stock email is buggy and I'm getting a 3rd less battery out of it. I would have 70% left at the end of my day now I'm lucky if I have 50%. I would wait for kitkat until they work out the bugs.

Obviously it varies per phone but what are you running? I had the opposite effect Bluetooth in car is wayyyyy better and battery life is great. But I'm running Sacs v1 KitKat so that might be why we are having different experiences also.

I would wait on kitkat. I have been running it on a stock n3 for about a wk now and I'm not liking it at all. my bluetooth for my car is very buggy, stock email is buggy and I'm getting a 3rd less battery out of it. I would have 70% left at the end of my day now I'm lucky if I have 50%. I would wait for kitkat until they work out the bugs.

Been reading up on Sacs v1 and it looks like I wouldn't have a problem if I go this route since I am on mj4. It looks like I can follow the instructions completely from rlmiller here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50794223&postcount=20 and do my root and everything in one stop shopping. Also from what I have read once I go to kit kat I can't go back to jelly bean ... I would assume there would be no reason to back up my stock rom after rooting since I can't go back ever.

Personally I love twrp but it doesn't always seem to go as smooth with it. Philz is a modified version of Cm. Philz is rpetty much the go to for least amount of problems.

I will give it a go then, I thought I read something about "NAB engineering bootloader" with Philz, is this something I need to read up on more or self explanatory once I get into it?
Haven't used the Engineering one personally to me it didn't give me any benefits for now for me to flash it

SOrry for so many questions, but I saw that a few people has issues. Hopefully last question and I will be golden ... For Philz I see to downloads in the link provided by rlmiller - philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr.tar.md5 and philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr compared to just one file for TWRP - TWRP KITKAT hltespr-recovery-4.4.img. To use Philz do I need just one file or both? The reason I ask is because in the instructions it says "And lastly....
Now powerdown phone and start up in download mode again.
start odin and plugin phone again.
now click in phone slot and browse to TWRP file
you now click start and wait until it says pass and reboots. Unplug and wait for startup"
But it does not give instruction for Philz, which is 2 different files that are not the same as the TWRP.

No just flash the stock....let it load up....reboot into dl again...odin cf autoroot....boot up....then reboot dl mode again then you can flash which ever recovery you like twrp or philz.....then load up reboot to recovery I would make a backup then flash Sacs rom....then you should be all good to go. And no prob on the questions it's better to ask then not.

Sorry, I think I didn't explain well. I am going to go with Philz because it worked well for you, but my question was which Philz file:
philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr.tar.md5
or
philz_touch_6.12.9-hltespr
do I use in whe I get to the TWRP area of the instructions:
Now powerdown phone and start up in download mode again.
start odin and plugin phone again.
now click in phone slot and browse to TWRP file <----------------------------------- here
you now click start and wait until it says pass and reboots. Unplug and wait for startup
Yeah instead of the twrp file you use the philz tar.md5

I am stock no root at this with the ota update.
First off I would like to please ask everyone to thank the anonymous donor for this file because we wouldn't be seeing it today without them.
For all those that have been waiting, it's not the official release - but it is stable enough for daily driver use.
I haven't had much time to test this but the only issue I had with it was flashing it.
If it gets stuck trying to get to recovery pull the battery and flash again.
I am marking this a full restore because it looks like it wiped data, including pictures. YMMV.
At the moment I'm only putting the original file up.
I'll try to get an Odin one-click and a nodata version up later.
Link to NI3 folder:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S5 (Sprint) (SM-G900P)/Stock ROMs/NI3
Steps:
1) Download EXE file, double-click to extract.
2) Put the phone in download mode.
If you've never done this before, easiest way is to shut the phone down completely.
Then hold Vol Down + Power until you see a warning screen. Press up to proceed.
3) Open Odin (I used 3.07), place in PDA slot and flash.
4) Profit!
Please feel free to leave feedback on the flash and ROM but please keep in mind I have no special contact to relay that feedback.
Do me a favor please - if you're going to reply don't clutter my thread with spam. Thank you.

There is a problem with the screen not turning off when making a call. Other than that it seems smooth so far. Wifi calling is only new feature that i have tested, and it seems to work fine.
You cant root with towelroot you have to use cf-autoroot which trips knox. Since i had tripped it already WTF not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51421067&postcount=2

I now have a bootable odexed version. I probably wont do deodexed right away, its not worth the extra effort. Going to try getting one done that is rooted with busybox to post later.
Edit: And it seems to be fine with the NE5 modem too so no worries there.
I'm on my way home I may deodex it. Will post back if I do.
Oh great, I was just getting my rom ready to release an update, lol. Thanks for working on this guys.
Well I guess I've turned into that guy too...
I have a Verizon LG Optimus Exceed 2 (VS450PP) with some form of CWM recovery installed (I used a LG L70 ms323 version).
For some reason, recovery still boots into stock recovery, but when I chose the factory reset, I see a CWM logo for a fraction of a second..
I tried flashing Cyanogenmod 11, but stupid me, I didn't check if the boot.img was locked. (shoulda Bump'd it!).
Now I get a security error when booting, and recovery isn't working properly either.
I've searched high and low for the KDZ/TOT/DLL files for this phone and haven't found any yet, so I'm turning this over to you guys at XDA for help.
Please Help!
Thanks!

Still possible by bumping a modified boot.img, but a debloated stock ROM is likely the most you will ever see. I had been working on one, but my time has been so very limited of late. Unfortunately, there's lot much love for sub $100 devices in the development community these days, and I don't possess the skill set for AOSP development myself (yet).
If you (or anyone) has the time to freeze some of the crap on an active one of these without breaking things, I'd love to hear about it. I could then create a debloated, deodexed, zip-aligned one to flash in TWRP.

This is one of those cheap phones that would benefit from love and support. Some things it does better than my GS3. I used Romtoolbox to delete non-system apps. Email, gmail, some google apps. Kept some verizon crap just in case. Not sure if safe to delete google talkback. Probably safe (http://www.androidcentral.com/what-google-talk-back). Possibly a few more apps/services can be deleted i can't think of right now. I have ~180MB free space with GPS and some other apps installed. 32GB SD FAT formatted for media, downloads, some gps maps. Never had luck with link2sd, don't want to swap internal<>external storage.
I was uninstalling apps with romtoolbox and accidentally deleted a home theme. Now the home screen blinks. Is there a way to flash stock? Rooted, TWRP installed. I used to do it with older LG phones but can't remember how i did emergency recovery.

Boot to your TWRP recovery and restore your latest working backup?
Pull Battery out
Put Battery back in
Hold Volume Down and Power until a white screen comes up
You should get 4 options
Use Volume Down to select Wipe Cache
Press Power Button
It should then go into TWRP
If you don't have a backup you can return to complete stock (wipes the phone) via the links in my posting over here.

I've done accidental deletions with older phones but this time was different. I deleted my home screen theme while debloating. There's no LG emergency recovery tool, no KDZ on lg site. I dl elsewere and another custom lg tool from a forum. I could access settings and selected a new home screen theme. No need for recovery. I figured i can always dl a custom theme. Installed Nova launcher. Everything is good. I'll bookmark this page in case i screw up again. Thanks.

Can QSLIDE be removed? I used to do it in L9 but i think i had to flash a zip file in recovery to get rid of it. Also quicknote needs to go.

Wow. Never heard of QSLIDE, but if you don't backup, you can't play. Simple as that. Pay for TiB to (or whatever) freeze and test, or take your chances. I would NEVER delete stuff without any backup.

I bring to you completely stock builds of Lollipop (N915PVPU2BOC8). Built from the official Samsung tar. The rom is rooted and has init.d/busybox support. Knox and Sprint Itson has been removed completely. The roms are available as odexed and deodexed . Also included in every rom is the OC8 modem and HLOS patch to ensure you have the latest modem with this rom. (the HLOS patch is the factory Samsung modem patch and I simply added it in just like the official tar. I have no other details, it is official from Samsung and apparently has an important purpose.).
Other than having root, the removal of Knox & Itson, these roms are completely stock in every other way. These roms are stock and will stay that way. Please don't ask for mods, changes, etc in this thread. These roms are intended for those people who want the stock roms in their original form with the addition of root and removal of Knox & itson as well as other members who need a good solid base for their rom projects. I WILL NOT add the hotspot mod to this stock rom. there is a seperate thread for this. Some people actually pay for the hotspot and the mod does not need to interfere in any way for those people.
I give permission for other dev's/chefs to use this rom as your base and I highly recommend that you do so because it is bug-free and built from the official Samsung .tar. However I do expect credit if you use this rom or portion of it for any other project. If you like my work please press that Thanks button and consider making a kind donation for my efforts. Enjoy!
Important Note: Before flashing ANY Lollipop ROM. including this one, you MUST first have done one of the following: Taken the Lollipop ota update OR odin flashed the stock N915PVPU2BOC8_N915PSPT2BOC8_SPR rom tar. If you are still on any KK based rom (including any KK AOSP/CM based roms) then you MUST first update to Lollipop by one of the two methods I mentioned BEFORE flashing either of these roms..
Flashing instructions: ***Before beginning the flash/setup process MAKE SURE your battery has at least 50% charge and/or connected to the charger!!!***
1. Backup anything you don't want to lose off your internal storage to another location.
2. Download the rom using your pc. (downloading with your phone has a much higher risk of file corruption. Not recommended with large files).
3. VERIFY the md5!!! Once the download has finished, compare the AFH md5 using a md5 tool on your pc. (Google is your friend).
4. Put the downloaded rom onto your internal storage or external micro sd card.
5. With phone powered off, reboot into recovery by pressing and holding volume up, power and the home button until you see the samsusung logo then release all buttons.
6. Once in recovery choose the wipe button and do a factory reset three times. Optional but recommended is to do a "Data" wipe. This will wipe all of your internal storage so MAKE SURE you backed up first like i said in step #1 above! Then go to "advanced wipe" and select all of the partitions EXCEPT micro-sd card and internal storage. Internal storage is optional but recommended on first time flashing Lollipop.
7. Choose the "Install" option and select the rom "N915PVPU2BOC8_Odexed/Deodexed_Stock_ROM" from either your internal or external micro-sd card. It will flash the rom and give a confirmation once completed.
8. Press "Reboot" then "reboot system".
9. Initial rom setup will take several minutes and remain on the yellow Sprint Spark screen for at least 13 minutes (definately much longer than what you are used to). Let the phone setup/optimize for at least 15 minutes and the screen WILL eventually turn off once it finishes.
10. When you see the screen turn off, you can proceed with the setup wizard. Once finished with setup wizard wait a few moments and the phone will automatically install the sprint apps. You must either "accept" or "disagree" with each and every google prompt for these apps or else the installs pause untill you do so.. Also you will be prompted for the "connections optimizer". Quickly set it to what you want and close it. That's it! You're done!
flashing anything on your device is done at your own risk. There is no way myself or any other developer can guarantee that flashing this ROM or any other file will not brick your device or otherwise cause some other type of damage. This is just a standard warning. I am not responsible for anything that you do to your device.

Quick question about the hybrid rom. It may be similar with stock but every once in a while I bump the phone and the screen turns on. Is there a way to turn off that feature or is that even an option?
Thanks and sorry to post in this stock thread but I just don't know if it's a glitch or a feature that is turned on.
Edit: I'm an idiot. It was a notification app I downloaded and completely forgot I had done so. Removed no more screen coming on.

No KNOX/Itson will it still trip the counter?

Yes you have to have root and TWRP custom recovery is the recommended recovery (just use note 4's twrp it'll be a little jumpy but it works) and i don't believe it trips the counter I wanna say I'm 95% sure it doesn't

The answer is yes to all of your questions. I think you should do more research before tampering with your phone so that you first know exactly what you're doing and secondly learn how to do what's required to flash a custom/stock rom. You WILL trip the KNOX coynter on your phone if your root and flash non official roms. There's more information about this, just search.

This may or may not be a feature on the Note Edge. I haven't heard of it before. The only feature that I know of that is similar on the regular Note 4 is the vibration upon picking up the phone to notify you of notifications. But this doesn't turn on the screen. I suspect your issue is somehow part of the stock rom because I haven't changed anythin in the rom that would cause anything like this. I'm not familiar with the Note Edge.
I will build a new X-Series rom with V4A if there is enough interest and continued support from users.
I would like to see hot-spot unlocked in the next version. I really appreciate this..

I think TX has a hotspot mod that you can flash that unlocks that. I know it weighs I his hybrid Rom that I'm running.

Not to be rude,but there is a thread directly below this one dedicated to the hotspot mod. Just a little reading might keep more of these developers, who are doing this for free for us from just calling it quits. Again just my thoughts.

Just wanted to post because I try albeit a little but I Really appreciate all of the developers. For some reason this took longer than expected because of outdated credit cards in my PayPal account. Thank you tx_dbs_tx!

I can read just fine and no one cares about ur thoughts. I was just asking to incorporate the hotspot mod with the next rom so we don't have to flash multiple times and manual delete files for people new to flashing. Donation made
