I have flashed Mj7 and tried the whole root de la vegas thing and messed it up so i just stuck with kingo. I have Odined to mj7 and to MJE... I have flashed beans pit file as well... But every single time I ODIN, root, install safestrap, create a slot, dirty flash, but then factory reset, install eclipse and i get all kinds of force closes.. .Everyone was really sure If i just flashed MJE again i'd be fine. So i did mje and the pit file, root, safestrap, created a slot, wiped, installed eclipse and force closes and no service.....
Through this whole process, earlier today I installed mj7 with the MJE radio, apparently that may have been really stupid... Since then I have odined MJE with and without hte pit file to no avail... my phone's about me reads. Baseband N900vvrubmje Kernel 3.4.0 nov 11
build number JSS15jN900xxrubmje
se for android status permissive
What am I messing up. This is killing me. Eclipse would run when I was on MJ7, All i wanted was a clean do-over with the newest stuff and I've really screwed up ..
I'm on the retail version about ready to try clean rom to see if it will work at least.

I am currently rooted, safestrap, and running Hyperdrive 3. To get to an MJE based rom can I just flash the MJE Tar in odin or do I need to remove safestrap, flash stock MJ7, then flash MJE?
The full MJE tar will be fine. It'll flash the newest radios, upgrade the kernel and newest firmware. You can then simply re-root and ROM away. You don't NEED to be on MJ7. It'll probably be best to do a factory reset after flashing MJE in ODIN after the phone boots up the first time. I've noticed ODIN doesn't always remove data or added system files previously in the folder. Not sure if ODIN flashes /userdata.img

Yeah I almost always clean flash so in this case it is a no brainer. Thanks for the info
I have a OTA Stock 4.4.2 Note 3. I rooted using Gehot's method and all was working fine. Safestrap, SU, Titanium. Decided to flash a rom today since installing the NC2 Kernel via Odin is the trick. DLed Odin 3.09 and the NC2 kernel but it failed. Now anything I do fails and I am stuck on the download screen telling me to use Software Upgrade program. Can i fix this??

Did you unzip the NC2 kernel package and use the file inside?

I could be wrong but if you updated the with the OTA I think your NC4 upgrade will increment some counter that prevents you from rolling back. Even if you have root. Unless you were already on an nc2 rom...

I think the person that posted above your last post is right about not being able to downgrade since you're on the NC4 bootloader. Try booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset.
Get into recovery. And factory reset.
If that doesn't work.
Restore your back up in ss.
If you can't even get into safe strap..
You need to flash the appropriate. .Pit file to fix your phone.
The OTA thing is crucial... I really don't think you can roll back if you took the update OverTheAir

Had the same issue last night, rebooted to recovery factory reset & wipe cache then reboot
If it doesn't work on the first reboot try a couple more times mine booted on the third attempt
While you can't roll firmware back you can still odin the nc2 kernel on a nc4 build
So I was on Jasmine with the updated NC2/NC4 flashed via Odin.
I intended on upping to Jasmine 1.6 tonight and I wanted to start 100% fresh. So I backed up my ext/int partitions to my laptop, then formatted my external, loaded Jasmine 1.6 and whatnot to my clean external, then booted into Safestrap.
I then wiped everything, even my internal partition (yeah, idiot move I'm finding). It rebooted (which i didn't expect), and I'm not in bootloop.
With the new tether method.
Can I simply:
- flash the NC4 TAR here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524572
- TowelRoot
- Install SafeStrap
- Proceed with Jasmine install?
I want to maintain the ability to take advantage of the insecure kernels and whatnot should the day come that we get access to those goodies. Should I not Odin the NC4 and instead roll with the MJE TAR?
Thanks for your help!
NM, I failed to realize that TowelRoot will work on 4.3 so I'm just going to roll with MJE.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a MJA rom (with TRWP) and rooted. I never updated it in past, but i want to upgrade now.
I understand, we need to have stock recovery to flash the new updates. I searched a lot and couldnt find it. Could someone please help me out with this?..
I dont have any issues with KNOX .. etc
Just need safe route to upgrade to new version on my s4(and root it back).
thanks!!:good:
You first need to upgrade your phone to NAE via Odin to return your phone to an unaltered stock condition. You can get the tar file from random45's thread in the android development section. You will not lose data with the update, but I do recommend you use Odin 3.07 or 3.09. After you are updated to NAE you will have to goto settings menu and select samsung software updates to check if NG2 is available for download. After you update you can then use cfautoroot or towel root to reroot your phone. If your rooting to use the hotspot hack, just upgrade to NAE, since there isn't a hack for NG2 yet.

Thankyou for the detailed post. I was finally able to update without any serious issues.
1) flashed NAE through odin. No issues, no errors. successful flash.
2) downloaded ng2 update.zip from here and tried installing it from recovery. Errored out. (dont remember the exact error)
3) went back to recovery -- factory reset, wipe cache, restart and try update.zip . same error.
4) started up phone and checking if all is ok, saw the baseband still showed MJA while software showed NAE.
5) Odin'ed the modem/firmware of NAE.
6) checked the status and it showed upgraded baseband.
7) I then went to recovery and retried NG2 update.zip again & updated successfully.
8) rooted with CF auto & restored apps and data from titanium.
OK, so I recently upgraded to a lollipop ROM on my locked bootloader ATT I337. To get into safestrap now, I have to use NC1 flasher to temporarily flash the NC1 kernel, and then boot into SS, then flash the OC3 kernel to get back. PITA, but it worked. So I tried restoring a backup, and when I rebooted it didn't work (black screen, kept getting FC's of every app, couldn't actually do anything). I rebooted 3 times, after which it seems to be working. Weird. However, if this happens again, how do I get back to safestrap so that I can wipe and reinstall the lollipop ROM? Can I just flash the NC1 kernel via Heimdall/ODIN? If so, which file is it? When I was looking, it seemed like I needed to start from scratch with a full KK flashable package, then upgrade, downgrade, etc, etc.

Yep, you can flash NC1 kernel in AP slot in ODIN. I'm not sure about Heimdall as I haven't used it.

Thanks, hopefully won't have to try it
Just as a bit of an update. I did another safestrap restore, and again ended up booting into the same situation, with black screen, mult FC, etc. Figured out that to exit this, boot into the system bootloader, and from there choose "reboot". For whatever reason, it then boots normally.
