Download Odin v3.10 and install on PC. Install Samsung Driver Suite on PC. Download CF Auto Root by Chainfire. Start up Odin on PC and uncheck everything, power down phone, hold Power & Volume Down until phone goes into Download Mode, connect to PC. Press PDA button in Odin, select CF Auto, click start. Wait for PASS in green (I usually wait another 30 seconds). Unplug phone, pull battery, replace, and reset. Download SuperSU from the Play Store and start the app up. Done.

Is there anywhere to get a deodexed version of od2 for the 720t? I searched but haven't seen it if it's out there anywhere.

Appreciate the info. What would be the steps to unlock the bootloader if possible on OD2?

Only Verizon and AT&T lock bootloaders. It's already unlocked. I think you're confused on what a bootloader is, are you referring to SIM unlock?

I had no idea sprint didnt lock bootloaders. I just came from Verizon with locked bootloaders. Luckily I was able to get mine unlocked.
So just to confirm once we root the sprint phone nothing else is needed to be able to install custom recovery and Roms?

Actually if you're going that route, skip rooting, Odin TWRP and flash a ROM and you'll save time because pretty much every ROM is rooted.

I didn't really explain my situation well sorry. I went through all the steps to unroot my s4 but I ended up with slightly different firmware than what I originally had so wifi wont even turn on and kies does not detect the device at all. Right now I am reflashing to see if that helps.

The flash came up as fail on odin 3 times and I seem to be in the same place with no wifi. I found out the rom I got was not the correct rom because this one comes with alot more bloatware and some of the icons are different but it was the only one I could find that didnt fail when I downloaded it (I got suckered into trying to get a different one from the sites that have you pay for download speed).

K, I'm trying to fix my friends verizon note 3, it's stuck in dl mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use software Repair assistant & try again". Phone will NOT connect to kies, I get an error saying "This phone is not supported". My version of kies does see my att n3 just fine though. I can connect to odin it looks like. Cannot boot into recovery, it just boots into dl mode with the error message. Unknown how the phone got in this state.

downloading mj7 from here, I'm just in the dark about what I have on the phone, it just needs to be stock non-rooted. Didn't know if flashing the .tar would break it if I have a different firmware. I don't know how to find out if the phone won"t boot.

Cool let me know. It should work fine. The only reason it wouldn't is if it was on the unrooted 4.4.2 build.

Download your rom of choice I recommend ( Jasmine Rom 2.0 ) but others might fit you better ...
1. Install towel root
first open it and click on make it rain in about 15 seconds your phone will reboot
2. download root checker from the play store and check to see if you have root access open it ..it will pop up and go ahead and grant permission then it will say congratulations you have root access ....
3. then download supersu from the play store install that(optional) ... Open it and and it will ask something about the binaries click OK and it should install them if not that's OK just close out Reboot:
3. Now Install SafeStrap: follow these how to instructions ...The latest is 3.75
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517610
3a.(YOU MUST INSTALL THE NC2 FIRMWARE IN ODIN AT THIS TIME) unified kk firmware see below pic:
4. After you install safestrap successfully hit reboot to recovery button there in SS..
5. First thing you want to do is create a backup of your Stock Rom...***
6. Then Hit the Back key til you get to the tabs that say install ,wipe etc..hit wipe hit advance wipe check Dalvick, Data, cache, and system then slide.
7.then hit back again to get to the install tab..Now find the rom of choice I recommend dl ing (Jasmine Rom 2.0 awesome rom) or follow this...

Is your phone in download mode?
1. turn off the phone.
2. press "down" volume key + "home" button + "power" button. When you see some message shows up, hit "up" volume key.
I had the same problem with Odin when I first tried to flash my new modem. First, if you have Samsung Kies installed and are not using it, unistall it and the Samsung USB drivers that came with you phone. Install the latest Samsung USB drivers from the Samsung website and then Odin should see your phone and work like a charm.

[Q] Flashing 4.4.2, or Custom ROM?

Hey Y'all,
So I've been trying to root my 5.0.1 S4, but could not do it for the life of me. I figured since the CF Auto Root file was made for 4.4.2, I would try flashing back to that with Odin. After getting the correct build for my device, I've been trying to get it to flash, but it got to system, and then stalled forever. I let it run overnight, and it hadn't progressed, so I tried restarting. Now, it fails in a matter of seconds, but I keep seeing progress on the phone's blue bar.
[Q] AM I wasting my time trying to flash an old build? If so, should I just use a custom rom so I get my root? And if so, which one should I use (I'm new to this phone mod stuff.)
Thanks in advance!

Yes, stop before you brick your device. CF Auto Root works for Lollipop. Or Odin TWRP and flash SuperSU zip. Or just flash a rooted ROM. Read the OPs and decide which one sounds like the best fit for you.

KK, thanks. I could not get CF to root my device, trying 3 different versions of Odin. I'll go the custom rom route, methinks.

Uncheck Auto Reboot and F Reset (everything) when using Odin. And wait a minute after it says PASS before unplugging. Also try different ports and cables.
I can only find .img files for TWRP, I haven't yet been able to find any .tar files. Any tips on where to get a recovery file to use with Odin?
Yeah, definitely cannot restart my phone at the point, it's referring me to Kies to recover. Kies won't connect, either 3.0 or 2.6. So At this point I guess I'm hoping flashing a custom ROM will work...otherwise, is my phone bricked?

TWRP can flash images now.
Flash this build of TWRP first. (It's a .tar for Odin)
https://dl.twrp.me/jfltespr/twrp-2.8.4.0-jfltespr.tar
Copy this build to your device somewhere. (You might as well go ahead and copy a ROM you want to install on your device also.)
https://dl.twrp.me/jfltespr/twrp-2.8.7.0-jfltespr.img
Boot into TWRP and go to install. Select images button at the bottom right and select the build you copied to your device. You will now be running the current version of TWRP.
WOOOOOO!
After a ton of troubleshooting and grief, I finally got 5.0.1 back on, and working. I also discovered that my front usb port was not working correctly. I guess I'll try to root it now!
Aaaaaand, it seems to have worked flawlessly. Thanks for all the help guys!

Galaxy J5 (2017) stuck in recovrey mode.

Hi. During the update to Android 10 the phone turned off and after switching on it goes into recovery mode.
The phone is not mine and this description was provided to me by the owner of the phone. I was unable to see the phone directly because of the quarantine, so as a first solution I thought about a restore via odin. Has anyone had this problem? And is there a less drastic way than Odin to solve? Because the owner has some data that he would prefer not to lose.

How did you get android 10 on j530f?
I get the same messages when I enter recovery but I'm able to get out. You could use odin to reflash the firmware but keep all the data.
You won't be able to do a thing with Odin if the device doesn't have an unlocked bootloader and USB debugging enabled which I doubt it has seeing as it's a stock update that was attempted.
What happens to the device once plugged into a PC? Is the data corrupt or is the device recognized and files can be seen?
I have the same problem with almost the same recovery messsges. It also says dm verity failed. Odin and samsung 300k tool both dont work.

Not even to flash a stock firmware? It seems strange to me, in the past I have often used odin on my S2 also for the stock ROM.
The device always reboot in recovery, I don't think the PC can see it.

Hi, the details were given to me by another person, the only thing that I (and this person knows) is that the phone during an update has turned off and reboots in the attached image window.
Thanks for the tips, I will report it to the person concerned, hoping that he can install the twrp.

Put the j5ylte update onto sd card.
Get the update from updato or sammobile or somewhere.
Then reboot stock recovery and apply update from sd card. Or sideload it using adb on a computer. Not very complicated at all
Install the stock rom like i described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/to-stock-rom-t4099857
