For some reason when I try to Odin the newest nf4 firmware, everything seems to go ok but my phone won't come on. Just stays stuck at the tmobile t999l screen. I've flashed the nf4 modem but I wanted to flash the bootloader to go along with it. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Did you factory reset?
No. Should I do that before Odin or after?

Either one
Thanks @serio22 that did it. I don't think I've ever had to do that before.

It's always recommended, especially if going from aosp/cm otherwise you will get stuck at startup

Someone please help me. I tried to flash the unroot back to stock through twrp as ma5 wasn't working all that well for me and i wanted to start from scratch unrooted and get the sprint ova for the ma7.
So i flashed the file and it said that it was successful. It even went to the special recovery like it was supposed to before rebooting. Now we get to the problem. The phone wont reboot. It just stays on the first black galaxy note 2 screen. Is there anything i can do to fix this? Someone please help me.
U coukd try and flash another rom or use odin to flash a stock rom.

I tried both of those already. It acts like everything flashes ok but then when it reboots, it stays on the black note 2 screen
You can try flashing twrp through odin and make sure auto reboot is not checked
Then reboot into recovery and flash a rom.
Unless you can reboot into recivery, cause if you can then this is pointless.

I had to order a new phone through Sprint. Luckily it was so screed up they couldn't tell whether it was rooted or not. Which is double good because I also had a broken secure element

I would odin flash back to 4.2 to avoid Knox if you don't have it already. Sounds like you were already flashing custom Roms.

such questions and comments makes me learn some stuff as I hiccup along learning Android
Im trying to odin my phone back to stock because I want to sell it. Ive tried many times using the latest odin version and the android 4.0.4 file. I read somewhere about something like the bootloader being on 4.3 or higher while the software is still on 4.0 and that is a reason why it is not booting past the glowing samsung logo.
Anyways im just looking for a file that contains The Bootloader and PDA file to go into Odin
Thank You
Was your phone ever running a stock AT&T 4.3 ROM? If it was, you can't just Odin back to stock 4.3 because AT&T never released a complete 4.3 ROM. AT&T updated the ROM to 4.3 via OTA updates.

I was running a custom 4.4.2 rom. If that helps at all
Is there an Odin file for the stock 4.0.4 boot loader at all?
To avoid bricking you must verify you don't have the 4.3 bootloader. If you're on a lower version, stock FW is I747UCDLK3 4.1.1

It depends on what bootloader you have, as was stated before.

When trying to flash 4.04 via Odin, what error message do you get? Are you able to boot your phone into the existing OS?
It cannot boot past the samsung logo so I cannot check root checked.

Flash again with Odin but do not check auto reboot. When the firmware has been flashed and you see the word reset, wait about 30 seconds, pull the battery, disconnect the USB cable, boot into recovery, do a factory reset, wipe cache, and reboot.
+1 audit13's advice. If 4.0.4 won't work that way, can you reflash the custom 4.4.2 Rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
All you need is a factory reset from recovery. It's a common problem going from aosp to tw roms. Also, check your gps after it boots. If it doesn't work, Google "alternate gps fix xda" and that will fix you up

Connect the phone to KIES and have it reset to factory defaults? Download the MK2 .tar and flash with ODIN?
Those are two ways to get everything back to factory fresh with the stock kernel.

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to know if anyone had the NB4 Bootloader.
Yes I know it has KNOX but I want to flash the LTE non-hlos file w/o having sound problems so the bootloader needs to match the modem.
If anyone can direct me to where to get it that would be great!
Cheers!
..BTW..
I have already tried odining back to the NB4 firmware and it didn't flash the Bootloader.
Just flash the 4.4 stock image using Odin. You can get it at sammobile.com.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
You could also just accept the 4.4 update.

Well Im sure that i know how to use odin lol.
But right now the baseband is NB4
but the bootloader is still knox free meaning that it is the MDL bootloader and not the NB4 one.
Try a different version of Odin and/or download 4.4 again.

Could also start by Odin flashing 4.3 with the mk2 bootloder and then flashing 4.4 with the nb4 bootloader.

Will do.
But if anyone knows how to flash just the Bootloader that would be a lot better.
You can't just flash the bootloader.

Just for the record - I, too am on MK4 modem, and downloading Samsung's FW posted earlier in this thread did NOT update me. So it's not you.
Could always Odin flash to stock 4.3 and accept the update.

I had the same issue. I found a few other posts regarding flashing the Modem in Odin and people have suggested to flash that twice in a row. I applied that logic to flashing the firmware and it worked.
Here's what I did in detail:
Downloaded the NB4 4.4.2 rom from sammobile (not the Fenny fixed version)
Put the phone in download mode
Fired up Odin. Picked the rom. UNchecked "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". Then ran the update.
Once Odin was done flashing, the phone stayed in Download mode, so I manually powered the phone off (press and hold power) and turned it on and made it go into download mode. It'd probably be good to unplug the phone before powering down to avoid the phone trying to get into charge mode. Note: This is an important step. The phone must not boot into anything other than Download mode after you flashed it the first time. If you missed it, you will have to start at the beginning.
Flashed the Rom again, this time with the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options on.
I know it takes longer, but there isn't a "bootloader only" option out there, it seems. I did do some research into finding a way to make one, but there is a significant risk to testing it out, so I didn't really want to do that
Hope that helps
