Help with Odin - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I'm trying to flash 4.4 Negalite ROM from MK2 4.3 Negalite.
I just factory reset and wiped cache and delvic.
I'm in download mode. I'm about to flash NAE Firmware and Philz recovery.
I just want some reassurance. In Odin do I click "AP" for the NAE firmware and Philz recovery?
Please let me know if this is correct. I don't want a brick.
Reply ASAP if possible

I didnt know you could flash negalite from odin.. i learn.something everyday.. the easiest way is to put the file onto your phone...boot into recovery and flash

I don't think you can. I'm flashing the NAE firmware and recovery from Odin not the ROM itself. I'll flash the ROM with Philz recovery
EDIT: Nevermind. I flashed both via AP and they both passed

Philz Touch problem! Please help!

I updated my GS4 to rooted (without knox) 4.3 and now i want to flash Sacs Custom rom but i can't i've tried every recovery I could find none work for me even Philz, everyone is saying use that one and I did but when I flash it through odin nothing happens when I try to boot it to recovery the phone simply skips through and reboots( yes it does try to get into recover, the blue text) but if i keep trying it, it'll boot to stock recovery after 2-3 tries (assuming that's a fail safe?) I don't know what i'm doing wrong can anyone help?
Yes i have the drivers (Odin can do anything but get a recovery to stick)

Run Odin 'as administrator' and make sure you're flashing the right .tar - philz_touch_5.18.2-jfltespr.tar.md5

If you can get into recovery now (philz). You can certainly flash Sac's 4.3. If you want the mf9 modem that is in the dev section too. Check out Unknownforce's post
But I suspect you've taken the mja "firmware" and tripped that Knox counter, and if that's the case I dint believe you can Odin back to mf9.

Well my rom was pre rooted and wasn't supposed to have Knox I'll try it and see but is it okay to flash to 4.3 v4 from mf9?

[Q] confused on nb1 custom rom

so i used this method to downgrade from stock ota nb1 to mk2 then upgrade to nb1 and keep root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692825 i want to install a safestrap compatible rom and there is just so much data on it and not that good of english to go along with it, how should i go about doing so? can i just reboot into safestrap, v 3.72 and wipe and install or do i have to downgrade to install a kitkat rom? i also read about odin flashing kernels back and forth from mk2 then install rom, then odin nb1 kernel, please help im so confused and dont want to brick my phone again
Install safestrap 3.72 and uninstall recovery, then reinstall it.
Afterwards boot into safestrap and wip everything except your external sd. After that flash the ss certified rom of your choice then flash the att nb1 modules zip. Boot up and youre good to go.
As of 3.72 you dont need to downgrade to mk2 again nor reflash the nb1 kernels through odin.

Is it CWM recovery? You need a different version depending on if you were on stock 4.3 JB or stock 4.4 KK.
This thread has the CWM recoveries I've been using. If you were on 4.3 JB you need 6.0.4.5 or earlier. 4.4 KK needs any version after that.
Your stock does not need to be rooted to flash these recoveries normally.
1. Download correct recovery from thread depending on which stock version you have (4.3 or 4.4
2. Flash recovery with Odin 3.09
That should fix your bootloop.

Stock recovery and warranty bit

Is there a way to get the stock recovery back onto the SM-N900V? I tried putting CWM and TWRP custom recoveries on there before I knew it the phone had a locked bootloader. Where can I find the correctly signed stock recovery?
Also, how can I unset the "warranty bit"?
I think you just have to Odin the stock tar . If you were on the leak NC2 you can Odin that or the latest NC4. If your were on NC4 you have to Odin the NC4 tar. They are both found in the android dev section under Bean's firmware thread.

Thanks, I was hoping the stock tar was all I needed to do. I was afraid that I'd end up flashing a ROM that I could not boot because I had cache that I could not clear. You are sure that will reset the recovery?

Yes , if it's the full stock tar it will replace the recovery as well.

But nothing will reset the knox warranty bit. It is literally an electronic fuse...once blown. ..only replacing the whole motherboard will reset it.

OC1 Kernel odin flashable

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347780457
Use it if you need to flash OA1 kernel if any issues on flashing a SS rom so you don't have to start all over again from stock
hit that thanks button if it helped you
Dont we have this already..??
feel free to link it I did not see one so I did it myself
So how would you use this? Flash in Odin AP slot? What about Root? Wouldn't you lose root if you did this?
flash in odin you'd use it if for some reason the device looped when forgetting to not install kernel immediately after rom when installing a lollipop rom from kitkat via safestrap
When you get into that situation you can't reboot back to safestrap to install said kernel via recovery, this fixes having to start all over again
figured why not upload incase someone else needed
Very cool.. Thank you
has been looking for this one since bad flash or forget to flash OC1. Thanks.
Were do I place this at in Odin
