Odin to get back to stock? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I am on NAE baseband and the stock posted here and also the Sac's rom has too many issues to apply fix manually. I am giving my S4 to my wife and wanted to go back to full stock (with root) if possible. Is there an Odin package available? I have tried to search but couldn't find anything. Can someone please point me to right link? Thanks in advance for any help.

Maybe cause your not reading. Questions go on the Q&A forum. You don't have enough space to create a ROM slot try deleting some stuff than try creating a ROM slot again.

.. No you aren't reading if you are trying to flash omega. Go back to the thread. Only certain Touch wiz based roms work, and only the 4.2.2 versions

It doesn't have to be a touch wiz rom it only has to be 4.2.2. This why GPE version 4.2.2 works.
Are you sure you installed the 4.2.2 version of Omega?
The correct link to the working version of Omega can be found in the OP here.
Edit: Just looked at the link and it appears he pulled the 4.2.2 version of Omega. I know the 4.2.2 version works because I am running it.
May look through the Omega thread and see if you can find a link to the 4.2.2 version.

Thanks for catching that. You are correct. The one linked is for a TW version.
Thanks for correcting me however Omega for the I9505 is TW based and works.

Just a careful issue, as it appears to be possible to ensnare yourself in a situation only a authorized retailer like Best buy can get you out of.

No need for Best Buy anymore as the MF3 ODIN files have been released.
Matter of fact people are flashing over their MF3 stock slots now with Safestrap since this is now released and you can recover back to MF3 without Best Buy.
Can you still get to flash mode? Thought it went to the dreaded contact ATT boot screen.
Sent from my i337 MF3 using tapatalk.
As long as you can get into download/odin mode you should be able to recover.
Lot's of people have recovered the MF3 devices without going to best buy.
If you can't get into download mode, I'm not even sure if BB would be able to flash the phone to recover.

[Q] Couple questions I have about rooting MK2

I am sorry if these questions have been asked before but I couldn't find the particular answers that I wanted. Please pardon me if any of these questions are noob questions.
1.) Are there MK2 TAR files that I can download just in case I mess something up and need to flash back using ODIN?
2.) I know that MF3 made it impossible to downgrade back to MDL, but if I have the MF3 TAR files (which I do) can I at least downgrade from
MK2 to MF3?
3 (Optional).) What ROMs work with rooted MK2? Is there some sort of list? Or do the ROMs that worked with MF3 work with MK2?
Thank you for all of your answers. Again I am sorry if some/all of these questions have been asked and/or answered before. I have been searching for the answers on many forums for the past two days and couldn't find someone who asked the same questions. I am also sorry if any of these are noob questions. I just started getting into rooting of the S4 in early November and I know that I still have a lot to learn.
1: yes
2: no
3: there is SS 1.70. It is in beta and is hit and miss. No list of ROMs. You cannot install a custom recovery of custom ROMs.

Thanks for taking the time out and giving straight answers. I have one more question though: Do you by any chance know the download link to the MK2 TAR files?
It is located in the general section. Also, SS has been updated to 1.71. Still in beta.

I am sorry but I can't find the TAR files for it. All I can find is the recovery.img and the thread says no ODIN. I am really sorry for being a noob but I can't seem to find it.
Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196595
Place it on The SD card. And go to the stock recovery to flash.

Thanks a lot! Is there a way to flash with ODIN yet though just in case I am stuck in a boot loop and I can't reach the stock recovery because I have been in that position before when I was in MF3 and I had to use ODIN. If there isn't that's fine, I'll just be extra careful. Thank you for all your help and this is my last question.
Not that I know of.

Be patient. They'll be coming out soon. If you're in a rush, you can try out the NAE 4.4.2 ROM by Rydal in the General section and flash Unknownforce's NAE modem.

If I sound like a jerk then sorry ahead of time. This is not just to you but anyone toying with checking this out. There are many people asking questions that clearly show a lack of understanding regarding this update and what you might end up with if it goes bad. If you are currently on a custom Rom, it is beyond my imagination why you would want to go to a stock Rom that you might not be able to get back from. This forum is already piling up a few users that tried going back to mk2 and are now probably stuck with a coaster till someone releases a full release Odin install. Several very solid devs are quickly putting together something. I would be willing to bet within a week we have a couple projects to choose from.

Through Odin just flash the full mk2 update. Make sure you wipe data or things will be broken, I had to do it twice before everything worked right. This will also give you sock recovery. From that you can just re root the same way you did the first time and then reload a nandroid back up if you have one from your previous rooted room.
Hope this helps you

MK2
This is where I downloaded the MK2 file

This is the directions I followed to do it, I used the MK2 file inplace of the MDC (4.2.2) file though. http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unroot-and-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s4/

I have the same problem with NAE build number, but MK2 baseband and software (also MDF security software version if that matters). Did you ever figure out how to solve this? If so how?
For those with mixed nae and mk2. First flash the nae modem thru odin then flash a nae rom. As for now those people who decided not to go full stock to take nae and are stuck this is the only work around for this problem. Until we get a nae tar yall will be stuck for it for another week or so.
