Im sending my phone ot for service because of the camera failed error.
i was originally rooted on 4.4.4 NI2.
Unrooted, uninstalled safestrap and busybox and did a factory reset.
Now i have the flash counter lockpad on boot screen so i need to reroot to remove it.
Tried flashing NCG stock but when i flash it in odin, the screen stays black and never boots up.
Im forced to flash either NI2 or NK2 which both work, just getting back to NCG to reroot doesnt work
Any ideas?

You can't flash back to NCG from NI2. The best bet is to reroot by flashing the NCG kernel only on clean NI2 and running towelroot. Then reflash the NI2 kernel back. Do your cleanup and then unroot again.

x2. You can't do a full flash back, but if you flash the kernel you should still be able to. Follow @Misterxtc's step by step guide here...
ok let me make sure im doing this right
Flash NI2 firmware
Then Flash NCG Kernel ONLY?

Flash from Factory Reset.... you should just have to flash NCG kernel, root, re-flash NK2 kernel....

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.

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.
Ok so I did a idiotic thing... Did towel root on stock 4.4.2 G900VVRU1ANCG then before installing supersu or anything accidentally ran OTA (G900VVRU1ANE9)
Now phone keeps looping and installing updates...
It tries to boot normally then says booting recovery at top then starts installing updates again...
What to do now?

boot into download mode and reflash NCG. if that doesn't work because of the partially installed NE9 try flashing NE9 in Odin
Will I think I have it somewhat fixed... Just downloaded stock NCG and then extracted the system.img.ext4 and followed the guide from skipsoft using their toolkit to make the system.img.ext4 odin flashable.
Flashed only the NCG system.img back to phone and that worked.
Now phone is operational and all apps etc still there but I have build and kernel NCG but baseband is NE9
So now if I root on build NCG then try to OTA to NE9 how do I avoid boot loop this time? Will Supersu allow me to OTA and is there a method to keep root? ( I know how to flash the kernels and re-root --- I'd like to just keep root if possible.)

flash the full NE9 in Odin, then flash the NCG kernel, root, then flash the NE9 kernel.

lmao.. you did all that for no reason.. all the odin roms, kernels and modems are all available already..
You flashed ne9 kernel/rom so you need to flash ne9 modem/baseband..
For future reference, its easier to start on ncg root install ss.. then flash rom.zip of choice and flash the odin firmware for it.. its real easy and u can go from ncg to nk for example without worrying about an ota
i was trying to switch from 5.0 lollipop to 4.4.4 ricks rom but i think i went straight there even though i flashed the nk2 kernel because my basebend was still OC4 so i attempted to fix it by flashing the nk2 firmware when safestrap came up i created a rom slot 1 then i wiped everything hit the reboot into download button and reflashed the nk2 firmware again and now my phone is stuck on the screen that says samsung galaxy s5 custom (with the lock right above it) and below that powered by android and when i try to go into download mode it sends me to boot maitnence and i can only pick reboot normally factory reset and reboot in safe mode and none of them help or allow me to get back into download mode and the recovery menu wont come up either (volume up home and power button) any help is greatly appreciated
edit: i am able to get into download mode by goin into the maintence screen and doing the volume up and power button first then press and hold the home button but no matter what i flash it seems to be stuck at the bootloop (if thats what its even called its more of a screen loop lol)

If you are rooted and flash the firmware from the link he provided, you should boot up to where you can go into safestrap recovery (before your phone boots all the way up). You then flash his ROM in safestrap and you should be good.
Use the stock slot.
i just flashed the regular ncg stock kernal and it didnt do anything it put my on the samsung galaxy s5 custom screen with recovery booting in blue at the top ill try flashing the stock nk2 one and then reflashing the NCG one

You need to flash the NCG full Odin tar, not just the kernel. Then root your phone again.

See my post #2. Flash that full Odin tar. You will be on 4.4.2 with no root. Re-root your phone. (Towelroot, install SuperSU from play store, update the binaries, reboot phone, install busybox and install safestrap. Then you Odin the NK2 firmware from RicksRom post. Before your phone boots all the way up, hit the safestrap recovery button. From there you do a full wipe, then install RicksRom.

I unrooted my phone and flashed it back to NI2 using Odin and wiped all my data. Can I, while still in this mode, flash the latest stock rom with odin (Lollipop BPB1)?

If you want the latest stock rom (unrooted) just take the Ota or you can download and Odin. If you need root rom , just root , install recovery and use safestrap and install the latest root pb1 rom.

You can, but then you can never downgrade back to NI2.
If instead you want to retain the ability to downgrade,you can either 1) root the NI2, install SafeStrap, and then install a rooted PB1 ROM, or 2) Use Odin to flash a modified PB1 stock image that has a BOD5 bootloader.

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.
