This is a completely stock ODIN flashable ROM with root injected into the system image.
This is a fairly easy way to get root WITHOUT tripping the flash counter that will void the warranty. If you don't care about tripping the counter then you can get root other ways.
4.3 Image Notes: With 4.3 images, KNOX is removed in order for root to stick. This will flag the Knox counter. Once you flash one of these 4.3 images you now have the latest factory stock bootloader, radio, etc. Flashing a prior bootloader can hard/soft brick your device. Please read and understand what you are doing.
You can get ODIN here
and the drivers for the SGH-T999 so ODIN can detect your phone can be found at Samsung's site. Click on the Manuals & Downloads tab at the bottom and then on Software for the latest driver.
First download the stock odin tar that has a rooted system image injected into it:

Second,
Extract the root66 tar file from the .7z file you downloaded.
Put phone into download mode [ with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66 tar you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
If you are coming from a different rom base (non-stock) you will want to factory wipe/reset in recovery after flashing this.
OTA Updates:
Stock Recovery: Once rooted with above method, if you receive a notification for an OTA update, it has been verified you can use OTA RootKeeper to retain root through the update process.
Non-Stock Recovery: If you have loaded a non-stock recovery (per below) you can simply use it to flash the OTA update flashable zip I've created. This is the stock OTA just modified to be flashable in CWM and TWRP and not lose root in the process. As such it still does all the checks so if you have deviated from the rooted stock image above by modifying system files this will fail.
Download: OTA Update UVALJ4 to UVDLJA
Download: OTA Update UVDLJA to UVDLJC
Third, (optional)
Note: On Jelly Bean releases it is possible and I'd say probable based on my experience with the Note II that loading a non-stock recovery will trip the counter no matter how you install it.
If you want to get clockworkmod recovery loaded so you can flash whatever you want, nandroid, etc then continue on....
Once rebooted you can essentially follow this thread to load the clockworkmod recovery. As long as you flash the recovery using the dd method with adb (or use terminal emulator from the play store) then you will NOT trip the flash counter. If you use ODIN to flash a custom recovery you will trip the counter.
Third, alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands and uncomfortable using any command line
Decide if you want to use TWRP or CWM.
If you would like to install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery.
If you would like to install TeamWin Recovery Project then grab GooManager from the Play store and select the option to "Install OpenRecovery Script".
De-Bloater
If you've made it this far with a stock, rooted phone with cwm and you don't want to flash a custom rom (which will do its own de-bloating) you can check out my Aroma installer based De-bloater to easily get rid of bloat system apps you no longer want to see. Simply flash in CWM like anything else and you will be presented with a menu system to choose what to remove. If you are unsure it is safe to pick Recommended and still get a decent de-bloat.
[Note: Flashing this with ODIN will not wipe /sdcard or /data. Keep that in mind depending on your usage.]

I'm confused about this counter... Is the purpose really just so samsung can say no to a warranty claim? Is there a limit to the number of times the recovery can be flashed? I want to flash the new touch CWM but am afraid to do so if I only have so many times to flash a recovery.

Yes, the purpose of the counter is so that the manufacturer can reject service warranty if they see it tripped. I don't believe there is a limit of how many times you can flash. I might be wrong.
I just hope we can get a working Triangle Away on our devices.

Awesome!
Just to make sure I have this right then.
We can Root, install CWM, and then install custom roms without triping the counter?!?!
And then if needed I assume you can flash stock odin!
All with no trip of the counter?
If we use this, can we use the Galaxy S3 toolkit to install CWM? Or for that matter, can we just use the Rom Manager app from the app store and use it?

yes. Once there is a way to reset the counter people won't care as much about not tripping it. Unless the reset method is difficult or dangerous but for now as long as you never initially trip the counter you can simply flash back to stock and your phone is still covered under warranty.
OK, I used this, and everything appears to have gone fine. I have root now. Curious though, when it booted back up, nothing appears to have changed, except superuser is there now. I thought it would have reset the whole phone back to factory new.

Nope. it'll overwrite anything in /system you may have done. but doesn't touch sdcard or /data.
So that means if you had a cm9 or aokp loaded and used this you'd boot into a bunch of errors more than likely and would want to manually factory reset.
Edit: also i had no way to test this so you are confirmation it is working. prob should have put that in the first post but was late last night and forgot. So sorry and thanks!
(you weren't at risk of tripping counter, i've done this before, worst case was system image wouldn't flash and you'd have to load the stock one via odin)
Edit2: plus you are like 20 min from me so if I broke your phone I'd have come and fixed it
Speaking of if I ever need to odin back to stock, I have the stock T999 rom from samsung, and it has 2 files in the zip, a .dll and a .tar. How do I use these to revert back to stock? I guess the .tar goes under pda, where does the .dll go? Or does it?
If you're worried about warranty just wait firva triangle away, personally I have insurance. I'll toss my phone in a lake and bring it back that way lol

How Do We Know If We Tripped Counter
I have a question, how do we know if we tripped the counter? I used ODIN to flash Clockword.tar and then I went into Clockwork to flash Superuser and flash a Stock T-Mobile ROM from Whitehawk. Once I booted i downloaded busybox and installed it to complete the rooting process. I never seen any warning triangles, the only thing I worried about was flashing the custom recovery in download moad, but its not a ROM so it should not have tripped the counter and any ROM flashed I have done, all have been in Clockwork MOD Recovery, never in download mode through ODIN
SGH-T999, stock t999uvdlja
A month or two ago, I followed a rooting instructions thread on here. It had me use odin to flash over a clockwork recovery mod as the first step. It flashed over fine according to odin, but I was never able to enter recovery following the next steps and therefore was not able to root. I can't find the thread anymore.
I realized after the fact that my phone was already on Jellybean, so I presume, maybe wrongly, that the reason the clockwork mod wouldn't work was because it was for the older Ice cream sandwich firmware.
Anyway, now my phone says unable to update because it's modified when I go into settings:about:software updates.
I want to get this error to go away. I have kies and there is now a firmware update in there that I would like to do to see if it fixes a problem with the wifi calling app breaking caller id among other things.
I am afraid that if I try to push this update via kies, it may brick the phone or not work thanks to the clockwork mod problem.
So two questions: 1) how can I un-flash that clockwork mod out of there and make the recovery back to stock so there is no further error or possible warranty issue, and 2) is it safe to do that kies firmware update and if so would that fix the recovery on its own?
Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You need to find the stock recovery .tar file and use odin to flash it the same way you flashed the cwm recovery. Then you will probably need to use triangle away to reset the counter.....dont think kies would work if it sees your device is modified but not sure about that.
Use triangle away first to reset your flash counter then odin the completly stock jb from here http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426424....this is from docholidays thread for stock odin roms in the sticky section of development. ..this should give you a completely stock phone including recovery.....you will lose your data from this process but your sd card will be fine.
Edit: just realized you dont have root...you need root to use triangle away....so first odin root 66 pre root stock rom....then use triangle away....then odin stock unrooted rom that I linked above.

Given that the first ND8 rom is out there now, I'd thought it would be a good idea to write up the steps you need to take BEFORE you can proceed to flashing your first ND8 rom.
Steps to take/verify before flashing an ND8 rom
Check your bootloader version. If you are not on the ND8 bootloader, any ND8 rom you flash will brick your device.
You can check your bootloader version by running the following command in a terminal emulator app/shell on your device. Adb shell will work as well if you know how to get that going.
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
If the version string it returns ends with "ND8" (no quotes of course), you are golden and you can skip to STEP 5. Otherwise continue to step 2.
Oh no. You ARE NOT on the ND8 firmware so you need to flash it before you can safely flash your first ND8 rom. Head over to THIS thread and flash the stock tar using ODIN (or a similar program) ON YOUR PC. Mobile ODIN will not just fail to flash it properly, but may leave you with an inoperable device aka brick. Don't try to take shortcuts. Following the instructions in the stock tar thread for how to flash the tar. NOTE: The restore tar MAY or MAY NOT wipe your internal storage so back up your information as necessary.
After flashing the stock tar, head back here and move on to step 3
Download a custom recovery tar (I highly recommend Philz touch, works for flashing kitkat roms well with the greatest consistency. Grab the latest tar HERE)
Flash the recovery tar with ODIN (or a similar computer program such as jodin, heimdall, etc) the same way you flashed the stock tar.
Now you can flash your rom. Yes, it is slightly tedious the first time, but once you are on the ND8 firmware you needn't repeat these steps the next time you want to flash an ND8 rom :good:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Devs and others, I encourage you to refer all ND8 flashing questions here to keep things centralized and have one set of info from one person versus multiple from multiple people.
Have fun flashing!
It definitely did wipe my internal data, so be sure to backup to your SD card or off-device. I fortunately had most of it backed up, but I think I lost some pictures.
Is there any way to upgrade to rooted stock ND8 without losing data? I'm rooted stock MK3 and I don't think I've ever installed the Knox boot loader. My boot loader came back as MD4.

The only chance for you is if you're rooted Odexed. You'd have to unroot, flash the stock Knox MK3 bootloader, kernel and recovery, and then accept the OTA.
There is NO way to run TouchWiz 4.4.2 without the Knox ND8 bootloader.
And if you don't know one way or the other, I'd say there's more of a chance you're DeOdexed than Odexed, which won't work at all for the OTA.

I've been itching to move to ND8. I'm currently on MD4, with no knox. With all this talk of knox, is it really that bad to have?
I'm on Ting, so I buy my phones outright and don't have phone insurance. I have my old SGS2 as my insurance. Its my understanding that the main issue with knox is if you downgrade your bootloader, it'll hard brick your device. Otherwise, you can still flash ROMs and what not through custom recovery just like before, regardless if its MD4 based or AOSP. I don't think i'll ever need to send my phone to Sprint/Samsung for warranty/repairs/ect. or downgrade bootloaders (never felt the need to). If I sell my phone, I'll just odin the stock ND8 and be done with it. Are there any other downsides to having a bootloader with knox?
So just to be clear if I follow those 2 steps above I then can flash any ND8 ROM, I got that, but will the phone still be rooted? Why do I ask? Well if you keep reading the ND8 Full Restore thread bilgerryan posted to flash CF Auto Root, then recovery, so I am just a little confused. Here.
Unfortunately the OP in the ND8 thread never updated the initial post to include all of the requests that followed, like listing the MD5 and attaching the root instructions that were posted. I am pretty sure I got the answer to my questions by reading the thread again, but I can see how things get confusing fast. So keeping root is a 3 step flash.

I may have asked this in another thread, and if so, I apologize (I've been horribly sick) but is there any way to ODIN through WIFI or something? The MicroUSB port on my phone is destroyed and I can't afford a repair. I am rooted, with a custom recovery, on the MD4 bootloader, and would like to move up to an ND8 based KitKat ROM, but obviously the broken port is causing a bit of a problem.

Hi CNexus. I appreciate the guide. I seem to have run into a bit of an issue though.
I was on 4.1.2 (rooted Sprint L710) and decided to flash this update. I used Odin 3.09 and flashed the stock ND8 as per step 2. Everything went fine and it booted up without any problems so I went back into download mode and flashed the custom recovery you have linked in step 3. Odin gave me the big green "PASS" and the phone rebooted. Again no problems so I transferred the rooted stock rom (this one) to my SD card, turned the phone off and went to boot into recovery mode.
Here is where the problem is. When trying to boot into recovery, I get to the screen that says something like "booting recovery..." and then the screen just goes dark. Nothing happens as long as I hold down the buttons. As soon as I let them go the phone boots up like normal. :/
I repeated all of the steps again thinking maybe something (maybe me) messed up the first time. Same issue. Recovery won't load but the system boots just fine.
If you, or anyone else, have any ideas I would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks.

To boot into recovery u have to let go of the volume up, home button, and power key all at once when the "booting recovery" screen appears. If you're still holding them down when the "booting recovery" screen disappears, you're phone is going to start up like normal.

You can flash any recovery from your custom recovery. The first one is just Odined because you can't flash that from stock recovery.
Old Philz had separate SPR and LTE builds. The SPR ones aren't built anymore and you can flash the latest LTE one just fine, that's what I use.

Thank you CNexus for all your genius work. Had to pop my cherry to thank you. You and other devs have help me unbricked my hard bricked phone. Now Im as good as new with KitKat running. Now to a flash this Wicked Rom. :laugh:
So, I have a NB4 SM N900T. I rooted with cfautoroot, then installed Phillz Touch CWM, then made a full backup. After I rooted and installed a custom recovery, I was getting that recovery not SEANDROID enforcing/Kernel Warranty error on Boot. I then flashed Hyperdrive and used it for a few weeks. Today I wiped everything, and restored that nandroid backup to bring it back to stock NB4 because I cannot seem to get LTE to work to save my life.
Anyhow, now I see that NF4 is out.
With stock NB4, I'm no longer getting that error. It's still rooted, etc after the backup was restored.
What I would like to know is what would be the best way for me to get the NF4 update without messing up my root/Knox?
I can use ODIN, but if someone could just be a little more specific that would be great.
I downloaded N900TUVUDNF4_N900TTMBDNF4_N900TUVUDNF4_HOME.tar.md5
and Cfautoroot from another thread...
I think I'm going to stay with the stock ROM until I figure out this LTE issue... I am on Straight Talk AT&T (Using Hyperdrive ROM) and get plain 4G and someone with the same phone- stock NB4 and ATT go service standing 2 feet away gets 4Glte. 15mbs+ speeds, while I'm under 5mbs.
Sorry, kinda all over the place here...
Anyhow, thanks for any help everyone.

If you have installed any custom recovery like cwm/twrp you have
already tripped knox and there is no way to fix it so you may as well
simply flash whatever firmware and or custom rom you like.
Flashing/installing any custom recovery trips knox.
Good luck!
Fixed LTE issues. Threw away Straight Talk, Picked up AT&T.
Ok, so I'm considering staying on Stock ROM but my NB4 (RAC Build) N900T has no OTA update from Samsung...
So, am I able to just flash straight from NB4 to NF4? Will I lose root?

Yes you will loose root however if you simply flash cf-autoroot after
flashing the official N900T NF4 firmware you will have root again.
Here is the direct download link for the official N900T NF4 firmware:

Here is the direct download link for the Odin flashable cf-autoroot:

You're welcome for the firmware link.
I asked you nicely in pm to link to my thread instead of stealing my links, but since you ignored that, be prepared to have me comment on your posts where you try to pass them off as your own, or at least fail to attribute.
I appreciate that you want to help others, but please attribute links and/our abide by the posters requests when they ask you.
Thanks

Thanks, both of you, for the info and links.
Can I use Mobile Odin to do this?

You can, but just be aware that Mobile Odin cannot flash bootloaders, so if you're just looking to go straight up, you can either follow the directions in post #2 of this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398 or use desktop odin.
If you want to do it all in one shot, desktop odin is your best bet. Just power your device down for about 15-30 seconds (or power off using power menu and battery pull for a bout 10 seconds), then boot straight into download mode (this helps ensure the modem and bootloader stick), and flash the full package in the AP (or PDA) slot of desktop odin.

Alright, thanks for the help. I'm out of "thanks" for the day, but will click the crap outta it tomorrow. Much appreciated.
How do i go all the way back the stock that came with my phone and unroot and undo everything without brick please?
@gtasmodder I am in same situation, selling phone but first return to stock.
We need to get a stock ROM and stock recovery installed. Then need triangle away to reset the flash counter thingy. Also well need to use Odin at some point.
I'm sure there is a thread here somewhere that explains it, probably by DrKetan. Once found I will let you know here.
