Hello ever since i flashed the crawjs MF9 tar my lte speed is terrible and my friend same phone stock gets 20mbps where i get 1mbps if that ive flashed different roms hoping to fix it i updated profile and prl still no luck someone help me thanks in advance

Go back to stock unrooted and perform a factory wipe.
Or also on a touchwiz ROM do a ##72786# in the dialer. It reactivates your phone.

First confirm that your baseband and software version say mf9 in about device. If not you need to install the modem again. I have experienced, on occasion, where installing the stock tar from Odin doesn't always update everything on the first or sometimes even the second try. Also what Rom version is your friend using? If your modem is mf9 and his is something else maybe the modem is a problem in your area. I am using it with no speed issues.

Can I remove TWRP without odin?

I have to swap my phone, one problem is that you cannot connect the phone to a computer.
Can I remove TWRP and restore the original recovery without ODIN? Maybe flash the firmware if there is a zip version using recovery?

I belive toy can use Mobile odin. There may also be a flashable zip.

I think I should try that just to be safe. Do I need to flash the entire rom ( Im on amdl) or just the stock recovery?

Just the stock recovery. Best thing to do is to search the forums for triangle away, flash your stock recovery after running triangle away. Follow the prompts for that, btw. Then use SuperSU's built in unroot.

I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5

mobile odin is saying that the device isnt compatible? It asks for a dump, I did that and it said successful.
I restarted the phone, and it still says the same thing?
Looks like mobile odin is not supported for the AT&T Model.

You could extract the recovery.img from the tar and then create a zip file from that. I think it would work, but I've never tried it.

I guess the only thing I can do now is either find an AMDL firmware or stock recovery that I can use a zip file to flash it using TWRP.....
Has anyone seen this anywhere?

Sammobile.com has the stock firmware. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in odin.

You should be ok, I don't think they really check anything. You might do more harm right now than its worth. I've sent two devices into them. Got a refurb back. Your biggest worry is it'll probably be mf3 firmware.

[Q] Reverting from CyanogenMOD back to stock touchwiz?

So, not TOO long ago I used the CyanogenMOD installer app to put CyanogenMOD on my Galaxy S4(Sprint).
I've searched all over the place, perhaps I'm just not looking in the right direction.. Now I'm turning to you guys.
While I like CyanogenMOD I really don't feel as if all of the features you give up with stock TouchWIZ is worth it.
I would love to be pointed in the direction on how to revert back to pure stock.

You flash a tw ROM. It really can't get any easier than that.

How do you do that if the phone isn't recognized by ODIN? I installed CM using their auto-installer and now Odin doesn't see it.
My phone wont boot now and I am trying to re-flash stock but I can't find anything but .tar files for ODIN.

Try reinstalling the drivers. There isn't suppose to be anything but tar files for Odin. Like there aren't suppose to be anything but zip files for recoveries.

Would I be able to do this in Clockwork Recovery? Flashing with ODIN always leaves me with a FAILED since I moved over to Cyanogenmod.

On Odin are you trying to use MF9 or MDL or MDC while it is failing. I think you are trying to Odin an4.2 tar when you were on 4.3 previously which is impossible.

Yes, I did OTA the 4.3 update, and yes I was trying to use a 4.2 ROM. If I'm understanding what you're trying to convey correctly.
Right now I'm downloading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567353
I shouldn't have any issues in this scenario right? I'm on sprint if that matters at all.

Well there your problem lol. You will be fine flashing that ROM, but didnt you say you wanted to go back to complete stock as in no root? You would need to Odin the MK2 tar to archive that.

Yeah, it has the MK2 file in the posting, so I should be all set from there on out, right?

It only has a custom debloated ROM in that thread. To get the full stock unroooted MK2 you need the file from this thread.

Well you would think so but when I installed CM it changed my device number somehow, or how ever it is recognized in download mode and I can no longer use ODIN. Is there a way to get it back to being recognized?

I should probably mention the one thing I did do was I kind of used kingo to unroot it thinking it was going to factory reset it afterwards or at least give me the chance to, but all it did was say root was removed. I was still on the leaked NC2 build though so that's when I started trying Odin and the firmware zips. Idk if this could be reason why? Like I said I am in download mode but my info reads as follows now... PRODUCT NAME: Sm-N900v, current binary:Samsung official, Knox kernel lock 0x0, qualcomm secure boot enabled, write protection: enabled.Udc Start, Unsupport dev_type.

[Q] Which bootloader do I have?

Is there any easy way to tell without being able to boot fully? There isn't anything immediately obvious on google. I'm trying to help out a friend, his phone doesn't get past the boot animation anymore and he doesn't know which version he has. I can boot into download/recovery modes but don't see anything that screams MF3, MK2 or any of the others.
Updates: I can get to sideload but don't know if I can install any Roms through sideload without a custom recovery. The recovery right now is stock 3e I think.

Can't do anything from there. If recovery doesn't say NB1 in the corner then it's something before that. Only other way is to just try and flash only part of each one through Odin.

He was rooted at one point and then unrooted. Never any custom roms/recoveries. The phone was working after he unrooted it but for some reason will no longer pass the boot animation.
He was on android 4.3 so does that only correspond to MK2? As far as I can tell it does.

Do you know if he took any ota updates? My opinion is you should just flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. It's doesn't sound like he is still on mdl firmware.Which would be the only reason he'd not want to go to nb1

If my goal is to get CM or any other aosp based rom on the phone will nb1 be any more restrictive than MK2? I haven't found anything breaking the differences between MKx/Nxx down yet.

If he's not on mdl you're not going to get cm or any aosp rom. Nb1 is no more restrictive than mf3, or mk2. In any case you'll have to use safestrap and only touch wiz based roms.
