Were you rooted or just on plain old stock?
Best way I know to fix is via a PC, using Odin to load stock firmware from Verizon.
Or, you may be able to get a company Verizon store (not a verizon reseller) to reflash it.

It's on a Un- rooted stock Verizon 4.4.4. Going to Verizon probably out the question, finished contract and went to net 10. I can get phone in download mode (volume down, power, home button) I tried Odin but it failed also. But I may have been doing something wrong. Not real knowleable on these things. Does anybody have a link to stock Verizon 4.4.4? Another thing, my pc is not recognizing my phone now also.

You can get stock 4.4.4 from www.sammobile.com, you have to join to download firmware, but it's free.
They also have a link for Odin and how to use it.

Odin does work... Apparently you don't.
I can't read your mind... Tell me what you did and tell me if you enabled usb debugging and what version of Odin and which "slot" you put the firmware and if you have unzipped the firmware so odin sees a xxxx.tar.md5 file

I wasn't getting smart... The comment "odin doesn't work" means nothing just like " I got it to work" means nothing.
Other people can't read your messages and learn anything, or give you any advice.
If you had said... I tried xxx and got this error yyy then someone reading your post can suggest changes to what you are doing.
If you had said... I now did this instead and it worked... Then some other user could read your post and learn perhaps how to solve their problem all by themselves.

This is what you said.
(Odin doesn't work....Apparently you don't.).That's making a smart remark at me.
Its no problem.
How I got it to work was to use the stock 01 lollipop Rom not the 06.I think that's what you call them.

anyone post the new Lollipop stock rom for Sprint Galaxy s4 L720 NON SPARK model software ver L720VPUGOD2 I need it and a hotspot fix Id be glad to send a gratuity for it via paypal thanks Will aka Ponycarboy at the gmail
It hasn't been released yet, it was just announced today. The Hotspot fix won't happen until it is released and rooted. Be patient. Keep an eye on the General and Android Development sections, I'm sure once somebody has it they will post it.

It has actually been released. As per Sprint's device updates page for the 720 and the 720T...... Release Date: 5-20-15.
As for receiving the update, it could be 3-4 weeks before every S4 is served the update as it rolls out in stages, but indeed, some devices will start seeing the update today.
And again until someone actually receives it, it has not been released, only announced.
Anyways, this thread is pointless there are already other threads with discussions about the update, no need to start more. And you definitely don't NEED the update, you want it, your life doesn't depend on it.
In the meantime, Albe95 is 5.0 TW and is running great

It will be available on the forums in a few days most likely, you won't be getting a PM with the ROM before it's posted elsewhere for everyone.
If you want the ability to take an ota update, make sure you are 100% stock and unrooted. You can flash a stock tar to get to that state if you need to.
Edit: you can ask someone who has received the update to post the file or do a system dump

If one theoretically wanted to procure the update, an individual who has already updated to lollipop 5.0 could flash back to 4.4.2 using sammmoble firmware and Odin 3.0.9 on the PC with phone in download mode, factory reset if having boot problems with phone's recovery, check for the update again, perform an OTA Capture BEFORE downloading, copy the URL, install the update to 5.0, maybe factory reset again for completion's sake, and publish the URL here or upload the file to Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. for the rest of us. Such a job would require more time than most are willing to offer. But I will state my theory because I am egar myself. Best to you.

However, if there is a new bootloader in the new update, which there almost certainly is, a flash back to 4.4.2 would most certainly fail with other possible major issues incurred...including but not limited to a brick. No one should attempt this. We will get the new firmware and 5.0 rom soon enough.
This is how I get back from custom ROMs. Odin on the PC and download mode. Went from 5.0.1 GPE to TW 4.4.2 myself. No brick. Are you sure? Don't try the mobile odin.
But I stand corrected: Google OTA Capture. Post the URL if successful. Must be done BEFORE you hit download!

[Q] Secure Download enabled???

Alright, so my AT&T S4 is on 5.0.1 lollipop and I need to root it. I don't have root access and muniz_ri's thread says that I need to flash back to NB1. Before I flash, I went to download mode and saw words that were in blue: Secure Download enabled. I'm not sure what it means, so I don't do anything yet, in case I mess something up. My point is that I need help on what that means and if it is safe to flash back.
Here's the picture:

If anything goes wrong you need to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. Any update .zip is only flashable in the stock recovery. If something goes wrong you won't be able to boot into recovery, only download mode.

Man, you're worrying too much. You can always get back. Worst case is you ota back. It might take awhile as ota's come sequential. Just flash the nb1 tar in Odin. Boot up and it'll most likely want to ota right away to nc1. Let it do it. Then root with towelroot. Then use the keep root method to go up to oc3. Don't bother setting up the rest of your device, ie apps etc. Until you're back too lollipop.

Why not just use the KingRoot app or the PC program wondershare Go Pro to root?

Well it IS on SamMobile and labeled as T-Mobile USA: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910T3/
There are actually SM-N910T, SM-N910T2, and SM-N910T3 acording to the Bluetooth SIG site: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=25312
My guess is they are just different hardware revisions of the T-Mobile USA variant. I remember the Note 3 had at least two hardware revisions, the second one had a different display driver chip than the first one and TRWP had to build a new version for it to make the screen brightness work again.
This firmware image could be just a "common" firmware image for all three revisions.

I'm not sure what that rom is. It was posted in the dev forum and op offered almost no details. All I know is that the file name is SM-S920L3.tar and it weighs in at 1.4GB.

In that case they must have put it up just recently. Things are starting to look up for us after all.

Thanks, man! I'm having a few issues that I can live with with my phone, but if this works ok, I might just flash it. Oh, and I spoke with a few Straight Talk CS reps and they say that neither Tracfon, nor Samsung are going to release a stock ROM for 5.0.2. Perhaps some day we'll get an update to 5.1.1.
Ok so I it flashed in about 3 minutes for me with a pass. I noticed a set bit warranty: cache and system. I pulled the battery and then powered back on and got this:

How bad did I mess up?

I updated my att galaxy s5 using the chainfire for a rooted 5.0 and everything was awesome and then It was time to trade in my Galaxy so I decided to reset it to stock. I messed up by not clicking unroot in SuperSU and trying to restore using odin and stock firmware (4.4), now my phone is soft bricked. I can get it to the Odin Mode screen and the download screen but Odin fails on every attempt to flash a new ROM. I remember now that I believe it said if you flash to the custom 5.0 rooted rom that you can not return to 4.4 because it locks the bootloader to 5.0 or something. Am I screwed and have to wait for a 5.0 firmware file to be released or is there something I can do to fix this?
I believe you have to downgrade to a kitkat bootloader(4.4) and then flash the stock rom. Try that and tell me if it helps on flashing stock rom.
How would I go about downgrading?
Try this.

I'm guessing you've tried to put it in download mode?

I'm assuming the chainfire root you mentioned was you using flashfire to flash the prerooted L rom since that's the only way in aware of, if that's the case you're fine to downgrade as long as you use the right file, which is pretty much as long as its for your model, the flashfire thread has the downgrade_to_NCE odin package which I can personally verify works fine to downgrade.

Yeah, I think I may of taken the oc4 update becasue flashing it with Odin didnt work. I DID however get it to work by flashing the OC4 Kernal and then afterwards flashing the G900A_OC4_Stock_ Partitions. However im not sure if everything is in working order now, certain apps etc. dont start up when clicked.
Everything seems like its working after a quick restart actually, and Root Checker somehow says I still have root.
