I rooted this phone a long time ago for a friend of mine. Now its locking up even after factory reset. It starts the setup process and just locks up and reboots or it needs a batt pull.
I never installed a recovery or safestrap.
It's been so long since I've messed with any phones. I don't know where to start.
I'm thinking odin might fix it, but I'm not sure what file to use. I would like to get android 5.+, but I don't want to lose root.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
What version rom are you on any version after bod5 cannot be rooted and would go into bootloop and if that's the case you might look into Odin the same full version tar with Odin because any verison after bod5 doesn't allow downgrading

If your truly on pure kit Kat you can downgrade with N12 or NCG via Odin full tar and start over again with the root process

Download and install Towelroot, run it. Download supersu, busybox, and safestrap. Install. For roms, follow devs instructions to install their roms. Do not skip a step.

I just need to install that on my phone, or computer?...I guess I thought I was going to have to do work with drivers and some other things, and then link the phone up o the computer and all that other stuff...
Anyways thank you very much for your quick help so far!
I think you only need a pc to Odin anything to install modded roms. Nc4 is roots with towelroot, then you just install supersu, busybox, and safestrap and run them.

Make sure you download safestrap 3.75

ok do you get those from the playstore, or from the internet on the phone. When I typed in towelroot on google play, I got DriveDroid (paid), Soft buttons, Root checker and unroot PRO as results.

Are you downloading to a pc? If so which browser are you using? As far as I know to download a stock rom, go to sammobile.com . It's a pain in the butt to log in and everything but once it works, you can download the stock rom from them and flash it via odin. I just did that with my note 10.1 to return it to stock.

I rooted my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 previously and was running the Jasmine Rom on Safestrap 3.75. I followed the directions and everything worked fine until i ran out of space and wanted to make a new rom slot. Then i began experiencing more issues. Every time i went to go reboot after the safestrap menu it would just go into a black screen. I figured maybe it was something with the rom, so i tried to install the hyperdrive rom and the same thing happened again only this time the blue led indicator came on with a black screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
Only use stock rom slot just make a backup before you flash. As to the black screen have you flashed the nc2 beforehand. ?

Did you wipe and factory reset? Along with cache and delvik? I wipe then wipe cache and drlvik a few more times. Be careful when you run low on space certain ROM's need more space Than others.

3. Click on phone, select the baseband file, and press start.
4. When you finish the flash. Pull the battery and put it back in and power up.

My guess is that you can leave auto reboot checked and skip the battery pull.

Any improvements in this one? Is it worth flashing?
wait i'm confuse between this ,kies method, 138 MB tmobile OTA (i'm rooted so no go ) update and the 1.6GB firmware on sammobile . I'm running rooted ANJ7 baseband version so which path should i take to upgrade ? which of these do i get to keep my data and phone setting ?
If you flash the smaller file OP posted you will not lose your files. If you flash the full 1.6 GB version, it will essentially put your phone back to stock, wiping all your data in the process. Which is good if you want a clean start, but not so much if you only want to update your baseband and modem (and firmware). Personally, I flash the full 1.6 version for a clean start when an update is released, then restore my apps with Titanium backup. But it's up to you, honestly.
Flashed using Mobile Odin.

I was able to flash my baseband/modem from my extracted firmware, modem.bin using Odin v3.09,
and
ur bootloader also using Odin v3.09,
just wanted to let u know it worked just fine,
thanks for the bootloader file... saved me some time instead of doing the firmware... :good:
Very cool.
I may go ahead and flash the bootloader.
Hadn't yet cause on the tmobile s4 it was important to never update the bootloader.
Mine still doesn't have knox.
Running latest cm nightlies.
And using the nh7 modem.

And the op's trick is how you get the latest modem/baseband without letting them do things to your bootloader.

I always update my modem/baseband.
Samsung/tmobile are trying to make reception better with each release, and all.
I've also heard people say if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Knowing how to update your modem/baseband without updating your bootloader is a good skill either way.

hm i wonder if this is a display bug ?
I have a weird problem with my S5 900f running Lollipop BTU. Rooted with chainfire. Issue is that after rooting when i restart my phone it sometimes says "android is updating and then everythig starts crashing....system is not responding etc etc" i have disabled sytem updates aswell . First i thought it was cuz of Twrp and i flashed stock recovery with flashify but still happened today.........it happens randomly while restarting my phone and then if it gets stuck i have to go to recovery and hit "clear cache and clear update from cache" to be able to boot.....i have also tried different firmwares any clue why this might be happening?

You have to flash stock firmware with odin but first you have to full wipe with twrp recovery end after flash firmware because your root is filed end after you may try to root again

Since the lock info is almost completely contained in Qfuses on the SoC, it should work just fine to put a normal verizon rom on it...I don't know why you wouldn't just use an AOSP rom though...
Thanks. It is for my GF....she's needs the stability. And on CM ROMs the GPS doesn't work. Maybe I can convince her to try something different though. Ha.

You really can't brick these things. Just create an unbrick image (there's a thread about somewhere around here) and put it on an sdcard. I'm serious--I absolutely hosed my phone (no bootloader) and that brought it right back.
