Can someone tell me what my Odin flashable stock options are?
I'm on the latest firmware and want to go back to anything older, is this possible despite the locked Bootloader? Go I go to NE9, I'm waiting on the firmware file download now
Sorry to double post, just finished dl, can anyone at least say whether it will softbrick?
You can Odin back to stock any version you wish.

After reading a few threads about the new OTA, ive decided I want to try to get the OTA update. I am already rooted on beanz b4 with mj7
Per my understanding, i need to do the following:
Backup my current beanz rom
Download MJ7 stock .tar file
Go into odin/download mode and push the file through
Reboot
At this point i should be stock?
Take the OTA
reboot
re-root using kingo
install safestrap 3.65
Restore my beanz rom after kingo root.
Are these steps correct? Just want to make sure so that I dont brick anything.
As far as Odin / download mode, I have never used it apart from checking my knox counter.
How do i push the mj7 stock .tar file in? Is there a special windows application i need to do this?
if you have a microSD, you can back up everything to it, then take it out, flash MJE from ODIN, now re-root, flash SS, then flash beans 4. it's easier and perhaps potentially safer to just ODIN flash the MJE tar instead of flashing back to MI7, waiting for the OTA, taking it and continuing. Id link these but im new. If you go to original android dev for this phone, youll find a thread beans has made with the latest ODIN, and all the TAR files.
Wassup guys, ive been searching the forum for going on three days now trying to revert back to stock. i keep getting fails through Odin 3.09 and 3.07. Crazy thing is that i have a baseband of mj5 and a build number of mi9. Im on my last nerve with this. Had the phone since Oct. and love it to death. But right now im ready to take it out and practice shooting. Im a fairly knowledgeable with odin and flashing in recovery but this has me at a stand still. Any help as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. I have downloaded the MI9 files for odin (BL, AP,CP,CSC,PIT) for MJ5 i have (BL,AP,CP,PIT). If im missing some files or doing something wrong a link to a good tutorial would help. Thanks
Just tried flashing mI9 firmware in download mode and got SW REV CHECK: (sbl1) fused2> binary 1
did the whole *#1234# and got AP Mj5 and CP MI9
Confusing.
Be more clear instead of shooting the phone.
What custom rom you were on, if i understand you correct? Android version and your firmware?

No custom rom, 4.3 Baseband says MJ5. Build number says MI9. i dont know if they are supposed to be the same. I was rooted and unrooted. Just trying to get it back to days 1, fresh out the box, Bone stock.
Ok i did the *#1234# now my AP is N900AUCUBMI9,
CP is N900AUCUBMJ5,
and my CSC is N900AATTBMI9.
this is confusing the hell outta me. in the earlier post i didnt have a CSC. only the AP and CP.
Flash a newer firmware or same as your last firmware. I assume you can't downgrade to the original firmware if you have updated once to a newer one as bootloader gets locked.
Or flash 4.4.2 with Odin 1.85

I have tried that also. I dld the N900AUCECMLG.zip for the phone but when i unzip it im at a loss for what to do with the files. i dont know if it should be done in recovery or what files to use with odin. I dont see any tar or md5 files.
You have [email protected]? If so this is the correct firmware for you.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25106
From there you can see instructions to how to flash. Read carefully. Don't panic.
Download rom. And use e.g winrar ro open just once when the files are downloaded. You are extracting twice and stop doing so. Open onse and drag and drop files to your e.g desktop. Once you do this you get md5.
You put the phone into download mode when flashing firmware. Turn it off. Volum down+home+power button at same time when asked if you want to continue press Volum up. Then you are in download mode.
Why do you even flash anything if you can't basics. Read more. If you still can't do this all before attempt or ask a friend to do it for you.
I made these odin flashable firmwares for those who need them. This is only the stock firmware for Lollipop 5.01 build OB7. (NO system or data partitions) If you need to flash the stock OB7 firmwares then this will do that for you. This will not wipe your system or data.
Once you flash the "OB7-FW.tar.md5" you must reroot and flash a custom recovery if you want to flash custom roms etc. Simply odin flash cf-auto-root and the latest recovery by TWRP and you'll be back in business.
The OB7-modem.tar.md5 requires no extra steps... it's just the modem.
I have tested these packages on my Note 4 running OB7 firmware. Note: If you are on OE1 firmware, you will NOT be able to flash this OB7 firmware successfully due to new security measures in the OE1 bootloader.
OB7-FW.tar.md5 This tar package includes all of the stock OB7 firmware including kernel,modem, recovery, bootloader, etc. Please flash this in odin on your PC ONLY!
OB7-modem.tar.md5 This tar package includes only the modem and HLOS patch. Can be flashed with odin on your pc and also mobile odin.
Gonna try

ive been searching but can you help me put stock 0e1 recovery back on my phone i forgot to factory data reset after i updated to 0e1 and rerooted and now my phone is super buggy and i think its because i didnt wipe on stock recovery which usually fixes my problems. thanks if you can help or not. ive wiped on twrp of course but my stock rooted 0e1 rom just isnt right idk but like i said the stock recovery to me really wipes evrything. ive tried aosp roms but there even more buggy can you please help thanks
No one has it yet
Right. There is no official tar ball available for OE1 firmware. OTA is the only way right now and nobody has pulled and uploaded the update zip for OE1. Im afraid you're gonna have to try the OB7 official rom tar or else you're stuck until a tar pops up somewhere. And that may not happen for OE1.

Thanks for the report. Which software version are you currently on? Extension OB7 or OE1 ??? You must be on OE1 because it flashed successfully on my OB7 software. I will upload another version for you to test.
Yes, I am on OE1, I will gladly test for you. Just keep me posted.
So just to clarify, if I am on KK, I can ODIN this then cf auto root then TWRP? And don't take the update to OE1 because it's not worth it?

Ok, don't mess with this, it's for a different purpose. Read the OP in @tx_dbs_tx 's hybrid X 2.2 rom thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956667
Read the OP carefully as there is a VERY specific procedure (it's easy) you MUST follow to move up to lollipop.
Stock tar in the OP here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3056478
If you'd rather have a stock rom instead of hybrid x download the stock tar and follow tx's instructions to the T in his Hybrid-X OP before flashing it or any lollipop based rom.
Remember, you MUST flash the stock OB7 tar BEFORE flashing any lollipop rom.
EDIT: If you decide to go stock, do not take the ota. Once you cf-auto-root & odin twrp you won't have to worry about it anymore. The same with Hybrid-X. Once you flash that no more OTA worries.
Did u find the hidden image ??
I'm not going to pursue the OE1 secured bootloader thing. We will have to wait for an official tar ball and rebuild roms from it. Until then I'm staying on my OB7 rom.
I dont quit but thanks for your efforts

Have at it... Keep us posted.
Meh sourcecode is out
i was able to take part one of the update which i think did something to Root....when I open SuperSU it says cant install binary, may need to re-root. I don't want root anymore. I tried second OTA update and fails.
I'm guessing i just have to odin flash a stock img?...my question is, can i do the lollipop one? or do i have to do kitkat and just take the OTA? also, does it matter which version of kitkat or lollipop?
thanks!
download the latest stock rom from somewhere, and flash with odin or flashfire. That should be all you need to do.
thanks...just flashed one of the lollipops and worked great! didnt have to even kept data and custom went away!
Can someone tell me a safe way to make a firmware package?
The problem is it's for a firmware with no tar. It's for the N910P and I want QA1!
I was gonna flash PK1 then take ota to QA1. Then i was gonna use Flash Fire to backup the boot loader and modem files. To pack into a tar.
Is this a safe way to do this? Yes i know you have to pack it in certain order. My main concern is the proper way to pull the file! Thank you!
