Upgrade from rooted/custom MK2 To NAE HELP - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Been trying go go from custom/rooted MK2 to NAE
Using odin 3.07 and 3.09 and flashing the firmware doesn't seem to work. The thread also says to uncheck "F. Reset and Auto Reboot"...but still doesn't take.
During odin everything seems to pass...just when i boot up the phone and check the settings it doesn't show NAE
Right now I'm downloading the stock ROM and in hopes the stock recovery...but other then that need assistance.
Thanks!

got it working
Success....downloaded the stock ROM .tar that is ran through odin and then i ran the NAE firmware through odin and it's all working now.

MJ7 to MJE help

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

[Q] Trying to go from Sacs custom rom to Stock 4.4.2

I am currently on Sacs custom rom 4.3_v5.6 (latest build) trying to get back to stock 4.4.2 NAE. I have been flashing roms on a pretty consistent basis for about 2 years not but I am stumped this time. I open ODIN and run as an administrator as always, load my stock .tar file into the PDA slot and let it go through the checking process and then I hit start. It starts going for 2 seconds and then fails. I then have to do a battery pull to restart the phone and then my phone hangs up on the "Firmware update was interrupted, please connect to kies screen and that's as far as I can get. I have factory reset phone at least 10 times today. Like I said, I am stumped...any advice would be appreciated.

Were you already on NAE from the OTA before you installed Sacs rom?? If you were, then you can't go back to NAE stock until we have a full tar file for NAE. You can try to install one of the Stock NAE roms in the development section, but until we have the full tar file for NAE you can't odin back to stock, If you weren't already on the NAE OTA, and still have the MK2 bootloader, then odin the full MK2 tar and apply the NAE OTA.
Here is a good place to download MK2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443
Remember, if you already are on NAE, you cannot odin older tar files so you have to wait until the full NAE tar is available.

I was on the stock NAE update, so I guess I am stuck until then, not a big problem.
Sacs 4.4.2
Hi all,
Noobie here,
So I couldn't wait either- a junkie per say for a half a dozen Roms but find Sacs Rom to be most impressed with. As Sacs pointed out in the step by steps instructions- when quite successful, as others have pointed out with the camera issue which is a very small and all most not relevant at this time, with wifi I had no issues at all- did run across a small blurb about android.- something was crashing---- But I'm still enjoying it- don't plan to fall back- I am noticing the battery drains a little faster on use- did fix the toggle battery size through 3mint- awesome... Now I'm just waiting on to mods/themes as previous Sacs roms- I've tried loading the pervious versions but found it crashed the Samsung keyboard- so I reflashed 4.4.2------ Thanks for being ahead on this Sacs- great work...

Device behaving badly after updating to NAE while keeping MF9 bootloader

I followed the instructions in the thread that describes how to update to NAE from MF9 while keeping the MF9 bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277480
I was on MF9 stock rooted (with TWRP recovery installed when I flashed the NAE modem via odin 3.0.7, not sure if that makes a difference).
All the steps seemed to go okay. As far as I can tell the versions look good. However, the device is super sluggish at times, especially the dialer. Sometimes I have trouble waking it. I can't toggle the WiFi on. I have not set the hotspot mod or sd card mod yet.
The device is essentially unusable. Every so often I will get a request to force close some app (like the dialer) because it is hanging.
I tried repeating the steps described in the thread above over and still get the same behavior. The second time I also did some more checking in the intermediary MK2 step after everything was set up and I did notice that sometimes it was doing the weird hanging problems there too (i.e. even before the NAE rom was installed).
I had no problems whatsoever with the device when it was on MF9.
Help! Any ideas??
Have you tried to install the nae modem. Its been observed that you need to install it in order to get full use of a NAE rom

Yes, that is the very first step in the instructions. For good measure I even went back and reinstalled the NAE modem (even though it appeared to be successful).
I am thinking maybe I should go back and try to install/downgrade back to the MF9 modem to see if that would help.
Update: Everything seems okay now. I went back and flashed the MK2 modem, then reinstalled the MK2 ROM, then the NAE modem, booted into MK2 to see that it was okay, then installed the NAE rom. So far so good :fingers-crossed:

You could flash a MF9 stock rooted zip. Or Odin MF9 tar.

I had the same exact problem and I found a way to fix that so I can run NAE.. I read someone post and I just did these step to have a perfect running NAE stock rom.
Steps How To Install NAE (Odex) properly with MF9 Bootloader
1. Back-up apps with Titanium Backup or MyBackup
2. Download the following tools and files to have on-hand
A. Odin 3.07
B. CF-Root
C. Philz Recovery [I used the latest one 6.41.6.tar.md5]
D. MF9.tar Official
E. MK2 Modem.tar (No Firmware)
F. Stock MK2 Odex ROM (No Bootloader)
G. NAE Modem.tar (No Firmeware)
H. Stock NAE.Odex Rom (No Bootloader)
I. SDCard Fix for NAE
J. Hotspot Mod NAE (Odex) [If you want Hotspot]
3. Put the following files on your External SDcard from Step 2 (E,G,H,I)
4. Start by opening up Odin 3.07, and flashing MF9.tar (Make sure everything is unchecked but Auto Reboot)
5. Once flashed let the phone boot up and skip all the steps of setting up your phone. Then check to see if your baseband and firmeware is on MF9. If thats all okay completely shut down your phone.
6. Go back to Download Mode and to Odin. Then flash CF-Root (Make sure everything is unchecked but Auto Reboot)
7. Once its booted shut down and back to Download Mode and to Odin then flash MK2 Modem.tar (Make Sure Everything Is Unchecked) Once that is done Hold the power button for 10 seconds.
8. Boot up and check your baseband and firmeware in About Phone. Once everything is okay shut down the phone.
9. Boot your phone into Philz Recovery Mode then find and Install Stock MK2 Rom
10. Boot up the phone and skip all the steps setting up your phone, Do the lockscreen fix shut down your phone.
11. Go back to Odin and Flash NAE.Modem tar file (Make sure everything is unchecked) Hold the power button for 10 seconds
12. Reboot into Philz Recovery Do the wipe to do a Clean Install of Rom
13. Install Stock NAE Rom then Boot Up
14. Shut down and go back to recovery and install the SDCard Fix and Hotspot then Reboot
Then you can get Triangle Away and wipe your counter clean.
This is what I did and it worked perfect several times without problems.
(Optional part if you want to reset custom ROM counter)
1. Odin flashed a full stock firmware (ROM and all) MF9 or below (I had MDL tar already so just used that)
2. CF-Root the installed rom.
3. Run Triangle Away to reset boot counter.
(Main part)
1. Odin flash TWRP recovery .tar and did a full wipe.
2. Odin flash Mf9 AIO .tar
3. Odin flash MK2 modem only .tar (NAE won't stick unless you do this first)
4. Odin flash NAE modem only .tar
5. Odin flash TWRP (You can use other recoveries for some other ROMS, but most NAE roms including Sacs Custom ROM and NAE stock rooted need TWRP to install properly or you get no cell. I haven't tried it on CWM, but know when I tried it wouldn't work on PhilZ Touch)
7. full data wipe using the recover for good measure (not necessary, it should be clear already)
6. Flash your ROM in recovery (I used stock rooted NAE)
8. Flash your add-ons, mobile hotspot, boot screen, kernel , etc. (I just flashed the odex mobile hotspot for NAE and a boot screen, left the kernel at stock because of a camera issue ktoonsez seemed to be presenting)
9. Reboot and enjoy.
(Note, only if using NAE stock rooted)
If your using the NAE stock rooted you will need and want to run and let the pre-installed supersu app disable Knox, then using an SE linux status changing app from the app store you will need to temporarily change your SE linux status. From there you can install the Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed. In Wanam Xposed you can set the SE linux status so it wont reactivate after a reboot. Now you can uninstall the SE linux switcher you downloaded before. Next you can download an app that will do it, or manually fix the SD card write permissions. Finally using a root exploring file manager you can fix the permissions to make the lock screen work.

Upgrading from MJA to latest(NG2?)

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.

On NE9 and can't ODIN back to stock

So I have NE9, rooted, on my s5. I wanted to update to the latest firmware and tried to ODIN back to stock. I downloaded the NE9 tar file since that's what I am on. I flashed it via ODIN and it looked like everything worked OK, but when it rebooted nothing was changed.
Do I need to ODIN the NCG tar file?? I figured since I was on NE9 that is what I should use.
Can I just flash the N12 file via ODIN and save some time??
