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??

Yes, you can flash the NI2 file.

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

Yeah I almost always clean flash so in this case it is a no brainer. Thanks for the info
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.
I have a OTA Stock 4.4.2 Note 3. I rooted using Gehot's method and all was working fine. Safestrap, SU, Titanium. Decided to flash a rom today since installing the NC2 Kernel via Odin is the trick. DLed Odin 3.09 and the NC2 kernel but it failed. Now anything I do fails and I am stuck on the download screen telling me to use Software Upgrade program. Can i fix this??

Did you unzip the NC2 kernel package and use the file inside?

I could be wrong but if you updated the with the OTA I think your NC4 upgrade will increment some counter that prevents you from rolling back. Even if you have root. Unless you were already on an nc2 rom...

I think the person that posted above your last post is right about not being able to downgrade since you're on the NC4 bootloader. Try booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset.
Get into recovery. And factory reset.
If that doesn't work.
Restore your back up in ss.
If you can't even get into safe strap..
You need to flash the appropriate. .Pit file to fix your phone.
The OTA thing is crucial... I really don't think you can roll back if you took the update OverTheAir

Had the same issue last night, rebooted to recovery factory reset & wipe cache then reboot
If it doesn't work on the first reboot try a couple more times mine booted on the third attempt
While you can't roll firmware back you can still odin the nc2 kernel on a nc4 build
I'm on G900VVRU1AN12 and I unrooted my phone with Super SU so that I could take the updates. I didn't care about losing root. However, whenever I try to install the updates, it says the update has failed. How can I get the update to install?
You have to either flash a stock ni2 tar with Odin and take the ota or flash an oa8 or oc4 tar (depending on which you want) with Odin.

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.
