I have the file downloaded and tried to use Odin but it fails every time. What am I doing wrong or not doing at all?
You need to extraxt the file from zip format. I did it using mobile odin, retained root and still have all my apps. THANX OP!
Have you extracted the RAR file to MD5.TAR?
and whats your original Rom?

It seems that you don't have Samsung USB driver installed. Connect your tablet in the normal mode to ur pc ( not download mode) the drivers should be installed automatically.
If not, you can google it, and install them before going to download mode.
About coming from german Rom, I think it will be flashed successfully, without Data Wipe. I'M NOT SURE , AS I DIDN'T TRY IT. I tried PREVIOUSLY flashing N8013 LK8 Deodexed Rom over German N8010BLK9, Succeeded without data wipe. Then, before a while, I flashed this Wonderful 4.1.2 ROM.

Hmm.. anyone try just pushing this from Odin without a data wipe? As in, if you are on the N8010 4.1.1 ROM, were you able to push this without messing up..?
This downloaded an empty zip file. I tried it 3 times to check. Anyone else experience this issue?

Any chance of it working on GT-N8010?

I have that problem from time to time when flashing with odin, changing pc usually Fixes the problem

Alright so I unplugged it then had the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again" error whenever I boot, so I tried to get it to download mode and it worked and odin recognized it, reflashed the rom and it worked

I tried to flash my 8010 and I got a FAIL at the end. I tried again with the same results. It also increased my binary count so I wouldnt suggest trying this if you have the 8010.

It's likely to have a different boatloader, so that's prob why it failed.

I recently flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my N9005. The thing is i'm not happy with it and i want to revert back to a stock rom. So what i was wondering is if i have to revert to the exact old version (4.3) or i could flash a stock KitKat firmware from SamMobile and how can i do that? I read a thread where a guy bricked his phone when trying with cwm cause he had some files missing. I know most users are sick of noobs like me asking this kind of questions but i would much appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thanks

Follow the instructions on the link, also there is a link on that page which takes you another page how to root N9005XXUENB7 which is the latest firmware for samsung galaxy note 3 SM-N9005. Please make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you have the right model international Note 3 SM-N9005,
http://nasirtech.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/n9005xxuenb7-android-442-kitkat.html
The above method is for bringing the phone to factory stock. If you just want to revert back to a samsung rom and your phone is rooted with custom recovery, which I presume it is, you can just flash a samsung rom of your choice there are plenty to choose from and every rom thread have instructions how to flash their rom
Hope this helps, all the best.

So, like yesterday, Odin fails on me. At the very end. When the green loading bar is full and it seems like it's going to succeed, the last line says failed. The phone has CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and CF AutoRoot. Any ideeas?

ok that NB7 is failing on me as well for some reason, but in the mean time to get your phone back on line download NB4 (link below) and flash using odin 3.07, thats what I did and got no errors phone booted with no problems, if it takes too long to boot after flashing or goes in a boot loop enter recovery mode (home+power+vol up) and do data/factory reset and clear cache but that will wipe the internal storage, hope this will work

Another thing is your phone a 16GB model ?, or is it 32 or 64GB, cheers.
It's actually 32GB. I'm just after realizing. Would that be the reason why it's not working?

Thanks man. FeralFire's tutorial helped me a lot. That was the only way i could flash a custom ROM. And thanks for opening my eyes and reminding me about the size of my phone. For some reason, i got stuck to thinking that my device has only 16GB. Cheers and a big Thanks for your help!
No problem ur welcome, I am glad your phone is back online mate and I hope it stays that way , all the best, tc

Hey so one of my friends is having problems getting their S4 to boot. Currently she has K0T49H.L720VPUFNAE on her S4. She has no custom recovery, but did have the phone rooted. Now the device can't boot. It gets past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then goes black, the blue notification light pulses, and the phone makes a beep (almost like the initial boot sound) and then just hangs there. I've tried to odin back to stock, but I receive "failed! (Auth) almost immediately after starting.
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen both "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" & "Warranty bit: kernel" are displayed in the top corner.
I can boot into stock recovery & download mode.
Any help would be appreciated!
It sounds like you are trying to Odin an older version on there than NAE. You cant downgrade, only can flash the NAE tar or the newer NG2.
Download it here, and try flashing it instead. After you flash, if it still wont boot, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.

I am trying to flash NAE tar and have tried the NG2. Both result in the errors mentioned above.
I also have gone into stock recovery and performed a factory reset.

Okay, its really strange honestly. I spent sometime looking online for possible solutions, and the only thing I can come up with is:
1. make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, and that it is undamaged
2. if its a desktop, make sure the usb cable is connected on the back. if you have usb 3.0 ports try it on there
3. some people say odin and kies dont get along. I do not share this experience, but who knows, doesnt hurt to try uninstalling kies, and install phone drivers
How did this happen by the way?

I'm using my S3 cable since her OEM one is broken. I tried around 4 different cables since I had the same thought. I never had kies installed and I did install the drivers.
I have really awful internet stability and speed (like 100kbs) so I'm hoping that the download is just corrupted and I'm just trying to re-download it.
I honestly don't know, she gave it to her brother to look at first, whom I suspect made the issue worse. I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things and I thought that it was an easy fix since it could reach download mode. I really appreciate all the help still.
have you tried flashing a pit file?
here is a 16 GB Sprint L720 NAE pit file you can try. do that with caution, and as a last resort.

I'm currently pursuing .tar to flashable .zip python converters, because it seems I cannot flash anything but one specific version of philz recovery in odin, but can flash anything through custom recovery.

To be honest TWRP is your better option for recovery on the S4 (I was a staunch supporter of Philz on my S3) one thing you need to make sure when you flash TWRP it to uncheck the auto reboot option. When flash completes, unplug and pull battery and then boot directly into recovery, then it sticks. You may be having WiFi/data issues because of your baseband/ROM combo. Have you tried flashing the latest stock?
Need Help Device stuck After flash?
I have the sprint sph l720t model. I finally acquired root access. I tried to flash Cyogenmod. When I did, it finished and rebooted and a after reboot it says cyogen mod in a circle that just keeps on spinning. I tried to get back to my blue team win screen into recovery but no luck. I got the phone to go into download mode once. I do have backups on my SD card with all the files can I flash a backup? What can I do?? The recovery says in red kernel is not se enforcing then under that in yellow set warranty bit: kernel? Can I use odin to do something in download mode to get my device back up?? I did refash my MD.5 file again from chainfire no luck! Help? Thanks

Yes I am now running Lollipop 5.0.1. I also did finally get TWRP installed. Everything is back to normaral. I re-installed the firmware from sam mobile. I then ofcoarse, went and flashed cf-autoroot with Odin. I pulled the batterry this time and booted up into recovery. Somehow everything is working and I do have recovery somewhere in my device. I want to try another Rom but Honestly TWRP makes me nervous evertime I open the app! What should I try next. Its just like factory rom with root but not really root. Its weird. At suggestios would be cool.. Thanks

You have a lot of options now that you are presumably on the latest baseband. Just download the ROM you want, copy it to your external SD card and flash in TWRP.
If you like TouchWiz I suggest Wicked X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3115583
It's a fairly modified TW ROM, with quite a few mods that you can apply as you see fit. The developer is fantastic, quick to support and address issues. Every time he changes devices, I change to that device, he's that good. I've been stalking him since his time developing for the S2.
If TW isn't your thing, I suggest BlissPop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62018060
When I'm not running Wicked X I'm running BlissPop. The only caveat is I have not been able to get data to work properly on the latest builds, but the experimental build from 9/28 that I run is flawless. If you can't find it on their page, let me know I have it up on Mega.
Neither one is better than the other, it just a matter of preference. They both have great battery life, especially when paired with Greenify.
By mistake i deleted my secsettings apk know i cant acces my settings so i did a foactory reset trying to fix it and lost my root icant install nothing i tried flashing back to stock with odin but fails my phone is att galaxy s4 on 4.2.2 if i reamember right cant look a the settings

Since you're not using any custom roms I'd flash this in Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149. This will also update you to 4.4.2.
I'm guessing Odin failed before because you were using an older firmware version than your device is on.

You're not going to be able to flash twrp. You can only use safestrap as a custom recovery.

You can't flash Lollipop firmware BTU (unlocked version) if your device is branded to T-mobile (EE). You will have to come back to Kit Kat:
1. Download this firmware: HERE.
2. Unzip and flash it via ODIN unticking "AUTOREBOOT" (like in the pic attached). Let the process finish.
3. Take out the battery for 10 sec. and put it in again. Reboot in STOCK RECOVERY and Wipe data/Factory reset. "Reboot system now" then.
4. Good luck :highfive:
Ok going to try that!
5 hours left to download :|! Hopefully that will work!
No other download portals? Not really worth the money to pay 7Euro just to download 1 file :'(!
So the only way to get 5.0.1 is to wait or root?
Thanks for the reply! <3!

Yep. But rooting opens a whole new world of possibilities.
Even if you stay on stock rom, you can still do useful stuff.

Can you link me a guide to rooting guide for i9505 S4, with a stock ROM! I want it to look like the normal official ROM! I am kinda a noob at this stuff, as you can see from messing up a simple update by not checking if it actually works on me EE handset :'(!
Seeing as I have to wait 3 hours more for the 4.4.2 to download, I might aswell root it to 5.0.1 as you say, if it's fully functioning!

You only need to install a custom recover, but this won't require root. You will need root only if you want to backup your apps.
Touchwiz Lollipop Official Deodexed Rom for I9505 [LRX22C.I9505XXUHOB7]
[ROM] [5.0.1] [XXUHOB7] [STOCK] AMBASADII [KNOX 0x0] [DE-BLOATED] [MULTI-CSC]
[ROM][TW][OB8][LOLLIPOP][5.0.1] Imperium LL v2.0 [FAST][SMOOTH][STABLE][19/03/15]
Those are the 3 roms that appear on the first page of the i9505 android development section. I don't use any of those, I prefer GPE or AOSP. Currently using GPE.

Nvm, i followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
And managed to fix it ! But to be safe after i have done with the pit file and the re-partition ticked, i did an install again without the pit file of the same software! Just to be sure !
