I would try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50667360
Go to the second post in the thread. Start with step 7. You'll want to side load the update.zip through adb. To do that you'll boot into recovery and side load the update.zip file. Follow the instructions to side load only.
Edit, if that doesn't work I would Odin the mk2 files again and attempt the ota again.

during the sideload i got an error message that read signature verification failed. I never thought it'd be so hard just to update my phone

It shouldn't be this hard. You have something funny with your phone. Why don't you try to Odin the mk2 files again.

Yes, that's the right file. And if odin didn't give you any errors then it flashed correctly. I'm kind of stumped right now. The nb1 update.zip you downloaded has an md5, did you check that to make sure the download was good?
EDIT, What a minute I see the problem. you need to use all 4 of the files. Put the AP file in PDA, BL in bootlaoder, CP in phone and CSC in CSC of odin.

the nb1 update zip has multiple folder including META INF, patch, recovery, and system. I cant find an md5, does that mean i have the wrong update zip?

No I ment the md5 check sum it's unique to the file and can be used to verify the file integrity. But see my edit above. That's the problem.

NC2 back MJE

Can someone please point me to best instructions on how to revert NC2 back to MJE. And how to root MJE. Thanks

Go to android development section.
Find dutchdogg54 post with the firmwares.
Download the mje rooted odin file.
Or download the mje stock unrooted file.
Extract the file.
It will not be a .md5
Place the file in the pda section within the odin application (on computer)
*side note- do not press anything other than the pda button in odin. You will destroy your phone*
Put phone in download mode.
Make sure odin sees your phone in the COM ports and then you can hit start.
It will auto reboot. And you're good to go.
Odin versions do not matter

As I did not post these files, you'd have to go to the source to find out. But from reading what it says in the thread, this is strictly a STOCK only version of 4.3. Unless it specifically states otherwise, I would take this to mean that this is NOT a rooted version of this stock file. Get in touch with dutchdogg54 to make sure, but I'm going to have to say no that it's not a rooted 4.3 rom.

[Q] Odin One Click Problem...

Hey guys, I'm trying to flash [ROM][ODIN]SPH-L720 MF9 (MF9 Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - No Data Wipe - Rooted) by rwilco12. This is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486134 . I cannot proceed with flashing because I have run into a bit of a problem. I am trying to flash to unlock my phone but at step 8 I've run into a snag. After I press start it fails. I see the yellow com box and everything but it still fails, I am also in Download Mode. I will include a before start picture and then what happens when it fails..see attached. TY.

Are you on MK2 or NAE by chance? If you are you cannot go back to the MF9 bootloader and that would explain the Odin failure.

Ok I just did the MK2/NAE tar which is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619 . After I did that I tried to flash the One click again and it still gave me the fail...why?

Try the non-one click with Odin v3.07 and just the .tar file.

If you are on MK2 or NAE currently, you cannot use that one click program. It is only for use with the prepackaged MF9 rom that it comes with.

Here is the NAE .tar file (The download for it is in the big blue section) you need to make an account before being able to download it tho.

Ok I have successfully flashed the rom NAE .tar you just gave to me...But what does that do for me? To domestic unlock my phone I have to revert back to MF9 touchwiz rom. And according to frostedunit I cannot flash to MF9 when I have NAE as my current baseband.

You can still flash MF9 ROM/Modem but you cant flash the MF9.tar file because it includes a non-KNOX bootloader

I know im being really nooby and annoying you with questions but the TW Rom for MF9 is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471 but which one do I download? Is it the stock MF9 Recovery?

None of those include the modem.. just ROM. Idk to much about unlocking phones but are you sure you need the mf9 rom and modem or just the modem to unlock your phone?

Honestly I'm not positive but in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610 he says that he reverted back to the MF9 touchwiz rom so Im just trying to be a robot and follow directions...I'm really just doing this for a friend and know little about the S4 community let alone this is a dumb Sprint phone. I have a OnePlus One myself.

Here is the MF9 modem https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23321874045862587

That file is the ROM but you need a custom recovery to flash it.

Ok so far I flashed the recovery, the modem, and the rom successfully does this mean I can now flash using the one click rom?

No you cant flash because you have the new bootloader but cant you go ahead and do the unlocking now?

910f 4.4 -> 5.0.1

Hi. I have a NOTE 4 running ANK4 android 4.4 rooted with CWRP.
My question is: In order to flash a STOCK 5.0.1 tar from sammobile, what are the steps I need to follow?
Do I simply have to get the tar file and flash it through Odin?
Do I have to unroot/remove custom recovery first?
Do I have to factory reset and reset cache?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

hi,
your first question is correct
if you flash you will automatically lose root and recovery.. (no need to unroot and remove custom recovery..)
read my post #2 in this thread.. see link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3068738
for snapshot and more details
lastly it up to you if you want to factory reset etc.. it is not necessary
good luck

Download the file from www.samfirmware.com, make sure you have the CORRECT firmware for your SPECIFIC phone model.
While you are on the download page, there is an instruction, which I copied below:
Instructions:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.09
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
You don't need to root or do anything, just MAKE SURE that "Reactivation Lock" under Settings>Security is DE-ACTIVATED.
You don't necessarily have to do a Reset, but if you are having problems with force closing apps, battery drain etc... then do a Reset.
Good luck

Ok I just did that, ODIN said passed but literally nothing happened to the phone? lmao. It still shows android 4.4

The twrp say this because you clean system folder. To fix it, you need just download The official samsung rom.zip, put it in your sd card, and install normally with twrp.

Good stuff
Good idea to make a backup in TWRP before flashing anything custom next time, then you can always restore if you break it again
