Im trying to go back to stock.. im using odin 3.09 and ive flashed \I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5

Do NOT flash NB1. KEEP MDL. NB1 WILL LOCK YOU FROM SLIMKAT AND ANYTHING.
Make sure you wiped data in recovery before you tried booting. The modem would mess it up but it should have been flashed over with the full tar. Just try wiping in the stock recovery first.

Need more info to be able to help you, like what firmware are you on? mf3 or mk2? Once you figure that out the just Odin back to stock with the tar files posted here on XDA. Boot loaders are locked on both mf3 & mk2 so no CWM, no TWRP. Safestrap is the only recovery that works. I suggest Odin back to stock & start fresh.
i really dont know what firmware i am on...
which files should i flash??

Lol depends what firmware your on.
If you were on mf3 or mk2 with locked boot loader than that's why your stuck.
download amdl and mk2.. Bc the bootloader isn't all locked up its worth a try. If amdl fails in Odin then try mk2 and you should be good. But your boot loader will be locked tighter than a nun from a convent.
You really should have read around or asked questions before trying anything. Could have been avoided

Glad you found it. Also the tar file for 4.4.2 Kit Kat is available to flash through Odin, but no root as of yet.

Okay that is the leaked version of Kit Kat 4.4.2. So you need to Odin back to stock with the above tar files for mk2. You can then use this guide & either root, install Safestrap recovery & then a custom rom of your choice listed in the guide or you can take the official OTA 4.4.2 Kit Kat update. Good luck.

Reset my phone

Was having a few bugs on baja 16 so i figured i would wipe data cache and system and do a reboot. However when im rebooting its getting stuck at the samsung custom screen. Am i going to have to use odin to restore my phone? Or is there a way to get back into safestrap recovery from here

Try booting into downoad mode, then cancel it and reboot. You can also try booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset.

I tried the download mode cancel, but it just goes to the custom screen directly after that. I just dont feel like using odin to flash a stock tar and then have to reroot.
I also did a factory reset in the stock recovery but it looks like its going to stay frozen on the screen. I was on baja 16 with the nc4 radio, is there a nc2 rooted stock rom i can flash via odin?

Unfortunately there isn't an NC2 tar that can be flashed through Odin. Just flash MJE, root with TowelRoot, install SU, BusyBox and SS 3.65 then upgrade.

TowelRoot is an app which works a lot better and only takes a few seconds. There is no concern with the possibility of spyware or whatnot like there is with Kingo.

Hey airmaxx, i rooted my phone and am currently on mje with 3.65 safestrap. Should i update my safestrap and then load the nc2 rooted rom? then install baja? Or what order would you do it in

You need to install the ROM first (while still on SS 3.65) then immediately boot from recovery to download mode to flash the firmware in Odin, then reboot and install SS 3.75.

[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.

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?

Stock recovery and warranty bit

Is there a way to get the stock recovery back onto the SM-N900V? I tried putting CWM and TWRP custom recoveries on there before I knew it the phone had a locked bootloader. Where can I find the correctly signed stock recovery?
Also, how can I unset the "warranty bit"?
I think you just have to Odin the stock tar . If you were on the leak NC2 you can Odin that or the latest NC4. If your were on NC4 you have to Odin the NC4 tar. They are both found in the android dev section under Bean's firmware thread.

Thanks, I was hoping the stock tar was all I needed to do. I was afraid that I'd end up flashing a ROM that I could not boot because I had cache that I could not clear. You are sure that will reset the recovery?

Yes , if it's the full stock tar it will replace the recovery as well.

But nothing will reset the knox warranty bit. It is literally an electronic fuse...once blown. ..only replacing the whole motherboard will reset it.

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.
