I hope your not trying to Odin NC1? The only Odin for NC1 is an update not a full Odin so it will only work if you're on NB1. You need to use the full NB1 Odin then do the NC1.

Ahhh ok! Now i understand thanks man i appreciate it

Help!! I may have bricked my s4

Hello everybody im in a little bit of a crisis.
I tried to update my modem to MK2 and I used odin to do so. It turns out that it failed for some reason.
After that whenever I boot my phone it gives me a black screen and says Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
After that I followed this youtube video right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1jyZ5QafAQ and downloaded this file to go back to stock: http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-l720vpuamdc_l720sptamdc_spr-zip/
But yet it still gave me a Fail in odin. Any help would be appreciated as I am Freaking out right now
Here is the message log directly from odin when it starts
Firmware update starts
aboot.mbn
NAND write start
Complete(Write) Operation Failed
I switched USB ports now Odin is saying there is no PIT partition

If your on MJA/MK2 firmware (bootloader) you cannot go back to MDC (the file you showed).
Also did you run PC Odin 'As Administrator'?
You can find the link to the MK2 here.

I am on MDC bootloader. What I did was download the tar file from stockroms.net for MDC. And I ran the 3.07 odin as adimistrator and it worked. Thank you cause I think that it was me not clicking run as administrator. Another question: Is it worth upgrading to MK2 if I wanna root again or should I just keep MK2. I have the geeksquad warrenty from bestbuy so it shouldn't matter if it trips the knox flag because I give them rooted phones all the time.

I wouldn't update to the knox bootloader (take the OTA or flash the full .tar) but that's me, for now.
Since you're on the earlier bootloader you can still update to any number of ROMs that have the knox bootloader removed.
Also I would definitely update the modem firmware - Unknownforce has a thread for that here.
Spend some time and read and you'll find loads of stuff you can do.
Good luck.

So I can use the files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 in odin to update. Also since I am on mdc could I just use the latest in odin or do I have to go incrementaly.

If you truly are on MDC and did not trip the knox bootloader you can Odin back to stock MDC. That will wipe the phone completely, giving you an all MDC phone - bootloader, recovery (stock), kernel, modem and ROM.
But I would just jump to MF9. It was the last official without the Knox bootloader. You can grab that here.
This is the FULL system tar. All stock, kernel, recovery, ROM Modem.
Extract the .tar.md5 and place that in the PDA slot and that's it. Make sure you don't check 'repartition'!.
Then use CF-Autoroot to root and again be careful NOT to check anything like repartition etc.
Once rooted you can then open up supersu, update the binaries. Go to playstore and download GooManager. User that to install custom recovery and then you can flash away.
I do suggest you spend some time here reading a whole bunch. You'll learn a lot about these methods and how and what you can do.
Good luck.

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for continuing your tradition of quality posting. It is responses like this that made the E4GT forums such a great place to be.

Ok I have upgraded to MF9 now should I use Unkown Forces links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 to upgrade the firmware and modem?
And when I try to root with CF auto root on MF9 it fails on complete write operation failed.
Strike that its all good
If you're on MF9 full rooted you can update your firmware/modem following Unknownforce's instructions.
HOWEVER PLEASE take heed about the MJA(MK2 too) Notes: ...
some people report better success with turning Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time unchecked. Do the same flash, but when you see PASS on Odin, unplug the phone and Hold the Power key for 10 seconds to reboot.

And read through the whole post not just the OP. Some people had to flash it a few times to get it to show up (in system info) properly - mainly because they didn't follow directions precisely and skipped the note part on MJA/MK2.
Since you're now on MF9 fully rooted (stock) you can install yourself a custom recovery (Philz or TWRP - the latest Philz;philz_touch_6.08.9-jfltespr, seems to be the most reliable for now) and flash some ROMs. Virtually all of the 4.3/4.4 ROMs require the MK2 modem so know that too.
One thing I would highly recommend is to spend some time reading through the sections to get a clearer understanding of how this device behaves vs others (HTC, Moto etc.). Every device has it's peculiarities and caveats and not paying attention to them could ruin you day.

People need to know the difference between soft bricked and hard bricked. Most say bricked and they mean soft. Hard is nearly impossible to get the phone back up and running. I have that same problem when I try to install a kernel. You need to reflash a ROM.

[Q] HELP! Stuck on Verizon logo on NC4

I have a Verizon Note 3 on NC4 4.4.2 rooted and unlocked and I was trying to load Jazmine 2.0 ROM with S5 features. It got stuck on the Verizon logo and I was able to get it back to stock using Safestrap. Next I tried to load the NC2 MD file on Odin and since then it is bricked. Tried to download the NC4 md5 file on Odin but still no luck. I am a bit of a n00b so I could use some help from some XDA vets here! Have flashed into Stock Rom slot, slot 1 and 2 with stock backed up ROM and still no luck at all.

Did you take the NC4 OTA or were you on the NC2 leak? If you're on the NC2 leak you can use this guide here to go back to stock and reroot and install safestrap,etc. It's done by @droidstyle
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380
If you were on the NC4 OTA you can't downgrade to MJE. I'm not sure if you can just flash the NC4 tar file in Odin that Beans has provided here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47400062&postcount=1
If you took the NC4 OTA, I'd see if someone else can chime in as I'm not sure if what I told you will work.
But as long as you boot and you can get into download mode you should be able to recover I think.
thread: [Q] HELP! Stuck on Verizon logo on NC4
Can get into download mode or recovery but it will not load safestrap for me. Trying to download the TAR file to try on Odin but nothing seems to get me past the Note 3 Custom screen after flashing a file.
Have you tried flashing just the Nc4 pit file ? If so then just flash NC4 TAR and start fresh with towel root and then safestrap 3.75

Yes the PIT file did not get me anywhere. loading the NC4 TAR right now. The biggest problem seems to be I cant get SAfestrap to work. I can boot into download mode or recovery but when I load something it doesnt load up right. Can figure out how to get into Safestrap now.

bricked, no recovery to flash kernel

I have the s4 sgh l337 with the mdl bootloader from way back. was running Goldeneye rom and it started giving me issues. so i thought id flash the Albe s6 port rom and thought i needed safestrap for it. so i installed safestrap by installing the apk and busybox and the nc1 flasher and rebooted.
now i get the SYSTEM SOFTWARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR AT&T and i have no recover either! its the stock recovery and im not sure how i can flash another kernel or recovery back to just reset the whole phone.
any help would be much appreciated

If you'd sure you are still on MDL bootloader then you need to odin the stock MDL firmware.
Bear in mind that if your bootloader is no longer MDL then flashing the MDL firmware could trip the knox counter.
Safestrap is for the i337 with newer bootloader. It works on NC1 bootloader as such you need NC1 flasher.
Golden eye has an option to choose between old bootloaders (MDL/MDB) and Safestrap users. Albe S6 port does not appear to have that option.

Glad to hear it.
It did happen to me when I odin the MDB firmware on my MDL phone three years back. The MDL firmware I downloaded had checksum error so I had to use the MDB firmware instead.

Cant boot into system

Everytime I try to boot into system, it freezes and then restarts. I just flashed lollipop OC4 rom through FlashFire? Help please

Did you uninstall safestrap before you use flashfire?
Do you use the rooted lolli rom mentioned in the guide or the custom lolli rom. If you use custom lolli, is that rom mentioned that it is flashfire compatible?
I understand you are on NC1 bootloader so in order to OC4 working properly, OC4 bootloader need to be flashed via odin.
If you try everything and did not work, go back to NB1 and start from there. Use the NB1 firmware that I mentioned before.

So dude, when I went into download mode, everytime I tried to place that ALLAT&T file into the AP slot, it would cause Odin to freeze and not respond. Naturally, I got angry and decided to reboot into system and magically, I could use the OS again. Now I think I'm going to flash the bootloader like you said

I am sure you did extract the .md5 from the .rar. The latest odin is Version 3.10.7 but I am using version 3.10.6 for that .md5 and it went well too. Try with different odin then.

Wow, NC1 flasher is to use safestrap in lollipop. It only flash the NC1 kernel.
Are you in Kitkat or lollipop. If you were in your lollipop you need to update your lollipop bootloader.
As I said before, if your phone went to softbrick just flash the NB1 firmware via odin.
I swear, you are a legend, an absolute god. The amount of help and experience you have given me, if only I could pay you (I'm 15, so I can't make a PayPal yet) Right now I'm on Albe95's Note 5 port rom.
