Does anyone have a .zip that I can use to flash CWM recovery? Am stuck with an 'ecrypted data' TWRP bug, and need to flash a new recovery over it. Flashing TWRP .zip over my current TWRP .zip isn't fixing it.
Thank you!

I believe rom manager app will flash the CWM for you then I would suggest flashing the twrp 2.5.0.2
Updated 2-7-15: Added BOA6 Firmware only odin images
Update: 12-2-14: I added firmwares with no recoveries, so what ever recovery you are using is the recovery that will stay installed. That way if you prefer a different build or different developers recovery you dont have to worry about the firmware package changing your recovery. I also added a hidden image file back into the NKD file I tested both ways and it doesnt seem to matter if its flashed or not but I put it back just to be safe. These firmware packages are labled no recovery. I also added some modems see below for details.
Here Are 4.4.2 NE5 4.4.4 NK4 and 5.0 NKD Firmware Only Flashable Odin Images. You can use these to flash back and forth between these builds without flashing the full tar ball. Simply flash your rom in recovery reboot to download mode and flash the firmware package that matches your rom and thats it. You can go back and forth between builds this way. The firmware images contain custom recoveries one contains Latest TWRP 2.8.10 and The other contains PhilZs 6.57.8 recovery. The Philzs Firmware packages are labeled philz and the other ones are the ones that contain TWRP recovery.
Firmwares include boot.images, bootloaders and modems. They are the full factory image minus the system image and cache images they are each around 80mb in size
Sprint Firmware Odin Flashable Images
Here is some modem only odin flashable tar images. If wanting to use a different modem on a different build (for example: use ndk modem on nk4 rom) just flash the tar in odin. Thanks @tdunham
Sprint S5 Modems
All 6 stock kernels, flashable zips and odin flashable versions. Thanks @tdunham
Stock Kernels
These are so bloody cool to have.
Show your appreciation
Make sure you hit the thanks button on the OP!

Don't forget that to flash any of these properly, you should enter download mode on the phone from a POWERED OFF STATE.
If anyone needs odin, they are available here:
Recoveries & Odin
This is awesome!! Thank you!

So let me get this straight. I'm currently on 4.4.4 NK4 rooted and Philz recovery (prefer Philz).
If I want to test 5 I can flash the Philz philz_nkd_firmware.tar.md5 with Odin, without having to do full wipe and not have to re-load everything?
I understand the best way is to full wipe. But I've had high levels od success with dirty flashes. So I try that method first. I perform a full wipe if problems exist.

Right on. Philz is already included in that one.
HOWEVER, I have issues going back and forth from 4.4.x to 5.0 bootloaders which require a full wipe of internal SD (for me anyway) or the roms just wont boot. I think L places something/needs something on internal SD that is conflicting. And I cant say about data restores, you'll have to find that out on your own.
Thank you jrkruse!! This is so very cool.
This is awesome. Thank you very much!
Thanks so much. Back running my 4.4.2 rom on the 4.4.4 firmware. With the Dark it Up theme BTW!

Update adding firmware packages that flash no recoveries, so if you choose to use a different build or different developers recovery it will remain unchanged on firmware flash. I also added some modem only tars. See OP for details and Instructions.

Sprint Firmware Odin Flashable Images
Here is some modem only odin flashable tar images. If wanting to use a different modem on a different build (for example: use ndk modem on nk4 rom) just flash the modem only. The modem and NON-HLOS tar images must match the build of rom ( For example nk4 modem and NON-HLOS image can only be flashed on nk4 rom).

If you take a look at the MOAR FAQ, section 3. (k), there's full step by step instructions on how to update your modem to NK4.

Just flash the modem only tar from the op in this thread. If your still on NE5 bootloader make sure you flash the modem. Don't flash the tar image that contains modem and non-hlos as this needs to match bootloader. Remember sometimes you have to flash the modem twice to make it stick. I always just flash in odin and make sure reboot is unchecked load modem tar image in phone (CP) section flash then unplug cable pull battery reboot to download mode and flash again.

It looks like the instructions I posted there are a little dated now . I'll be updating them tomorrow with links to @jrkruse's modem files (if it's okay?)
I need an odin flashable rom for my 7510. Many on the links to them that I have found didn't work. Can't seem to access SDcard without android system installed. Been able to flash cwm and twrp. Need a rom I can flash.

So you have tried ADB and pushing a rom over to the internal sdcard?
If you cant do that, then go to sammobile.com and download the latest ics rom and flash it. Then you will be able to download a custom rom and flash that via recovery.
