I can do that but it'll be a little while. I already have system.ext4 and cache.ext4 converted and extracted as well as the modem, patch, and kernel, etc. There are a few other mbn partition files which only odin can process so i assume you don't need those or do you?

I'm not sure about those but mainly the ones you listed already
I know it's a little late but I uploaded two bone stock BOB7 roms in my other development thread. Deodexed and odexed. Either one should do what you need. Sorry i got busy working on those roms and forgot to get back to you. I hope you found what you need with one of those roms. The system files are not modified in any way. Use with confidence.

When you say, your computer says "not responding," how much time has passed, from when you first select the .tar file, until you try to flash it, to your phone?

Do you know how to put your phone into download mode?
Yes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I go into download mode, turn on odin, then transfer like 3 files and then from there I have no idea what to do. Do I restart the phone, reboot into recovery, or what?

Do not plug your phone into the computer before you open ODIN.
1. Open ODIN and select the .pit and .jar files
2. Plug your phone into the computer via usb cable. You should see the COM port turn yellow in ODIN.
3. Click the start button in ODIN
4. The phone will do the rest
5. Just wait until all is finished and the phone starts
Two files

Yes it's a program for the PC. I use Odin3 v 1.70 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
Another important note I forgot to mention:
If you use this T959UVJFD.tar file you don't need to uncheck re-partition
If you use any other official firmware T959UVJI6.tar or T959UVJK6.tar for example then you have to un-check re-partition.
I always use T959UVJFD.tar before I flash anything else so I can re-partition but that's just a personal preference.
Don't worry, it's pretty hard to brick the phone.

You sir are correct. ODIN isn't hard at all and actually I'd prefer using it to flash all of my ROMS. I even made a 301k resistor jig so I can get into download mode without the octopus technique. Plug and Play baby....
Where do I find the JI6 pit and tar files for odin?
I'm running Axura 2.0.5. However, I want to try one of the new JK6 ROMS.
I would like to use ODIN to go back to JI6 first. Where do I find the proper JI6 tar and pit files????

T959UVJI6.tar is the last official release from Samsung/t-mobile. If you use that you should have no problem. When I got my phone it had T959UVJFD.tar on it. This version is the oldest.
T959UVJK6.tar isn't an official release.
flash jfd... the ji6 tar file is missing dbdata.rfs
just some words of advice. I just used the JI6 tar file, and pit to ODIN my phone back to stock. Odin completed its job, phone rebooted, saw the white vibrant logo, then it went into recovery and gave me some read error message. Something about a "data" file missing.
did a google search, seems like the JI6 tar file is missing the dbdata.rfs file.
Another forum suggested using ODIN again but this time use the JFD tar file, which has the appropriate dbdata.rfs. Sure enough my phone is back to stock JFD now.
Don't know why, who ever uploaded that JI6 tar file, why didn't they include the dbdata.rfs?
anyways, I might be wrong, but thats what just happend to me, and found the solutino doing a google search. i'm all good now.
So I got this email from my friend and am not sure what to tell them. I have not run into the screen she describes.
Here's what was told to me.
"He put a rom on it and it forced closed when you tried to open the contacts or do most anything with the phone. He booted in recovery and tried to update zip and it kept saying file not found. So he deleted update zip and kept CWMfroyo zip. But the phone kept saying the same thing then when trying to turn on phone the samsung would loop. Used odin to try and put update zip back on and then the ebo1 modem. Nothing changed. So we tried to factory restore phone by using odin and none of the downloads would complete. Now my facinate only comes on to a screen with a little phone and a computer with a yellow triangle in the middle of the two. It also will not go into download mode anymore."
I replied back asking if they could still enter stock recovery. But haven't heard back yet.
If I can get them into download mode I can help them Odin correctly to get them back good. But, again, I have not seem the screen described so I don't know what it means.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Confirm they are properly trying to get into download mode.
1. Open Odin (might as well)
2. Remove battery.
3. Hold Volume down key.
4. Plug in USB cable.
In your first post, you said that they tried to odin back to factory setting, but the download would not complete. What do they mean by the download wont complete? (Odin wont complete? Cant download full package?)

I'm trying to update to 2.2.2, I downloaded and installed the first update, and I can successfully download the froyo update, but it won't go all the way through. It will finish downloading, prompt me to install, then power down to install, but when it installs it gets to about 35%, then shows the triangle with the ! In it and reboots. I'm rooted with stock everything, and have system reset twice hoping it would work. No luck.

Your problem is probably due to the current ROM you're using has removed some of the bloatware. When you remove bloatware you are unable to update your phone.

Actually I'm not running a custom ROM. Literally all I've done was run a root tool, then installed Titanium Backup Free.
I'm going to try and re-image the phone using the stock DL17 but I'm not sure how. I've got the instructions for installing the rooted EC09 ROM but I don't think I'm supposed to use the I500.PIT? Is that specific to EC09, or is it specific to the phone model (and independent of ROM)?
UPDATE: I just realized there's a DL17 .PIT so nevermind! I'll be sure to use that.

That one is not something I'm gonna try to cover in a post, if you are as inexperienced as you proclaim. If you want to come into IRC, I'll try to help ya out. That being said, googling 'ec07 stock odex' brought up the exact thread you need. It was the first hit.
Hello, today i wanted to flash a new rom on my galaxy s4, rooted it a while ago but hadn't flashed a rom. Went to Rom Manager and was gonna do a backup but it was giving me an error so I could not do the backup. Since I had saved all my pictures and everything on dropbox I just went ahead and went to recovery mode and wiped my data so I could flash the new rom. When I tried to wipe the cache partition it just rebooted my phone. When the phone started up I get all the usual setup from TouchWiz. I started setting it all up as usual but when I get to the final screen (learn about key features) I hit finish and then i get the "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." not allowing me to continue on to my home screen. So as of right now my phone is basically a paper weight because I can not to anything. Has anyone else encountered this ? Is there a work around ? Will appreciate all help.
P.s. Sorry if there is already a post about this, I just don't frequent this page very often and don't quite understand how all the search functions and all that work.

I dont have safestrap, and I hadn't installed any roms on my S4 yet, this was going to be the first time.

I would try to odin the mdl firmware in download mode. You can get the firmware at sammobile.com. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in odin, PDA.

Did everything with Odin and downloaded the file I needed but when I try to flash with Odin it says Fail. And at the messages you get at the bottom it says "Cant open the serial (COM) port."

Check to see if there are any popups that you have to allow before a connection can be made. Sometimes they appear behind the ODIN screen (on the PC). Also, make sure you have the proper drivers installed.
If you can get to clockwork, just copy a new rom to your SD card and flash it. You'll be up and running in 5 minutes.
Here is how to get to OA6 100% stock:
1. DL Odin 3.09
2. DL stock OA6 TAR
3. Make a backup of your apps/data (TiBu/Helium/etc). MAKE SURE THE APP/DATA BACKUPS ARE TO YOUR EXT SD CARD!!!
BACKUPS (from TiBu and apps like that) PROBABLY WILL NOT WORK GOING FROM 4.4.4 TO 5.0!
4. Go into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe system/internal sd/cache/dalvik. Power off phone completely!
5. Power on into Download Mode and flash the stock OA6 tar (put it in "AP/PDA" in Odin).
**6. Do a factory reset in the stock recovery after you flash the tar (not necessary but deff won't kill ya!). **OPTIONAL
7. In "About Device" your baseband and software should now end in OA6 and Android version should be 5.0. If they are not, then you did something wrong, go back to step 2 and try a redownload, and reflash of stock OA6 tar.
**OPTIONAL: Root** 8. DL CF-Auto Root.
9. Place in PDA/AP slot in Odin and run it.
10. DL a custom recovery of your choosing and flash.
11. Reboot to recovery and FLASH THIS (SuperSU v2.45). Now root should work reliably on Lollipop (THANKS CHAINFIRE!!)
12. Download and install MOAR v6.0! **If you do this no need to do steps 13 & 14!**
13. Download and flash Knox Removal to get rid of Knox. BE SURE TO THANK TDUNHAM!
14. Get flashlight toggle as well as plenty others with THIS APP!
15. PROFIT!

Some people seem to be having trouble, so I thought this might help you guys out.
1. DL this stock NCB tar.
2. Take out your EXT SD Card (if you have one).
3. Flash the stock NCB tar (put it in "PDA" in Odin).
4. Do a factory reset in the stock recovery after you flash the tar (not necessary but deff won't kill ya!).
5. Reboot into Download Mode and make sure it says ROM type= OFFICIAL! If it says custom you will not be able to take the OTA.
6. Reboot, check for the OTA to "ND2" and wait for it to complete.
7. Your baseband and software should now end in ND2. If it does not, then you did something wrong, go back to step 1 and try a redownload, and reflash of stock NCB tar.
8. Re-root.
Also if someone that has SuperSU PRO version, can check if "Survival Mode" works for the GS5, that'd be awesome!

13 hrs left . Anybody want to scp it to my machine? If so I will host it for a few months, got a cable connection but it will definitely be faster than that link.
not needed
all this is unneeded if someone would just post the update from their phone cache for those that are rooted.

Sorry if this is asking the obvious, but this will erase everything? Will I need a titanium backup or something to restore app/settings?

Back up what you want using titanium backup to your external sd, then follow the steps above bud

Why the big deal???
I don't see the big deal with upgrading to ND2. Haven't read that it allows the download booster to work...lol
This what is suppose to be updated:
Google search results are no longer included in the list when using S Finder
Fixed device responsiveness when using S View Cover
Enable camera capture during voice call
Fixed alarm failure when deleting alarm
Fixed email duplication, when moving an email from original folder to another folder the email should only be viewable in the moved to folder
FYI personally like how the S finder pulled up google search stuff.
That's what I thought, thanks.

If and when I get the notification I will not be updating. I just press and hold the notification and go into "app info" menu and disable notifications.

Sorry, great point. I will add to the post to make a backup of your apps/data (TiBu/Helium/etc).
I did NOT do (6) the factory reset...
I have SuperSU PRO... "Survival Mode"... SuperSU PRO did not stick...
Now on ND2, rerooted, TWRP'd...
restored via Titanium...
had to rerun SDFix...
Thanx

Ehh, the factory reset can only help, not hurt haha, so I will leave it in there as an option. But thank you for testing Survival Mode on SuperSU Pro. Can anyone else test/confirm this too please. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the steps!
however, that does seem like a big pain in the butt..
why don't people just wait for the new stock rooted rom of that version and just flash that?!?

They don't necessarily repackage the ROM with every update. I did the upgrade just to get the baseband update. Not too painful at all.

If you read steps before hand and have a speedy internet connection. This shouldn't take more than 10-20min! Painless!
