My USB cable connection is a little sketchy, since it disconnects and reconnects all the time.
I am scared to flash the whole update with odin and know that a cwm update probably wont do the paritiom tables correctly givinge issues .
Do you think I should flash triangle away, CWM flash original firmware, and then be eligible for the OTA update.

Ok, just a quick update. I wasn't able to get to updating the op properly yet, so I just added a link to the post with the Official Rom for now. I will add it to the OP and update the information there as soon as I can sometime today.
Just to reiterate what has been well hashed out already.
If you have not already, do NOT flash the official firmware or OTA update.
I recommend flashing the deodexed, Knox free build of this Rom for now. I believe it should be the perfect replacement for the official update if you just want to run stock rooted.
Alternatively, check out @saranhai's Rom as well. It uses mine as a base, but is a bit more customized.
If you have already updated via OTA or Odin flashing the official firmware:
Flash the T999_Official_Deodexed Rom
Flash the slightly older MJ4 modem, IF YOU CHOOSE. This is not necessary though.
Enjoy and report back to me if WiFi and everything seems to be working ok.
If you have NOT updated to the official release yet:
Flash the T999_Official_Deodexed Rom
Flash the MJ2 ATT kernel
Flash your choice of the two modems in the OP.
Enjoy!
If you experience bugs, please consider factory resetting. The majority of issues are solved by starting over clean. Restoring downloaded apps and their data SHOULD be fine, but do not restore any system data as this just defeats the purpose of a clean flash!
More to come! Thanks once again for everyones patience! I will do my best to help anyone who needs it!

But flashing his build with CWM does not reparation the device.
You also have to flash other components separately like the modem.
I feel like that way the device is setup differently from what samung intended which could lead to bugs and slowdowns.
The reason I am paranoid because I am on root66 firmware right now, but my phone feels a lot more sluggish then my girlfriends.

People have reported that the OTA is buggy (WiFi is not working for some people)
I personally am using the leaked ROM from doc. I flashed the leaked ROM along with the modem and it is so much smoother than 4.1.2. It's up to you but there are a lot of security features Samsung included in the OTA which is causing much trouble for a lot of people.
The leaked ROM by doc is pretty much exactly the same as the OTA without the pesky security features. If I were you I would avoid the OTA as you cannot downgrade firmware after you update to 4.3. I would flash the modem and ROM by doc in recovery mode.

Looks like your having the same issue I was having. Check the 4.4 update thread about rwilco's modified restore. The one with the sboot or boot.ini in it works. Trust me It works I just got my phone back to 4.3 then back up to 4.4. If u have any questions pm me.

If it's the Samsung screen u need to go into factory recovery and do a factory reset. If u stuck at the note 2 screen u need to use odin and use the modified restore that was posted on the 4.4 update discussion thread. i think i used odin 3.4 or something. Ill turn my computer on to see.

ok to make things short as possible. i dont want this discussion to get out of hand and i will be as helpful as possible. I was stuck on the samsung note 2 screen. i couldnt get past it. tried everything for like 2 days and then rwilco12 posted his modified 4.3 restore on page 50 of the Note II - the 4.4.2 update - discussion thread. all i did was flash that through Odin3 v3.04. just reboot checked on PDA. nothing else. when it rebooted it took a while but it booted to the samsung screen that changes colors. it stuck there so what i did was reboot into recovery mode and did a factory reset. after that it booted into 4.3 no problems.

Honestly I'm not quite sure. What u could do is use billards mc2 then ota to 4.3 and when u reboot if u soft brick again just use the modified restore again. If u want to try it go ahead no harm in trying. i might try it later but chances are its going to fail anyways. Since downgrading from 4.4 is what caused the problem in the first place.

Puffyjello,
I simply flashed the OTA 4.4.2 in stock recovery and rebooted to the update no problem. No new Odin's of MK4 or anything, just flashed the OTA after i used your method to unbrick.
I then Odin'd Philz, flashed SuperSu and now im rooted and on 4.4.2, no problems.
Again, thanks for the help with the 'unbricking'!

Np. And what I thought u meant was going back to mc2 from 4.4 then ota to 4.3 and see if it bricks again. I wasnt sure if it would. Ne ways I'm glad everything's fixed. And I hope anybody that has this problem follows what fixed our phones. you guys take care. Running stock deodexed ne2 and loving it. Can't wait to try out their s5feat rom when they release it.
Does the LJC_Stock_With_Count_Reset[FINAL].zip still work after ota 4.4.2 ?
This to me is the best back to unrooted stock. It resores the LJC PIT, kernel, and modem. Compared to all the other stock roms; I find this one read and writes easier with QPST & CDMA-ws.
Im currently running stock rooted MC2 with stock LJ1 baseband.
In my opinion so far this is the recipe for this phone. Oldest basebands seem to have better battery life. I'm not really sure if the newer modems are actually faster causing the battery to drain faster, or generate more compression and share more detailed information with big brother which would also cause it to slow down.
I have this theory the manufacturers purposely slow peoples equipment down with the OTA after the first couple years to motivate them to buy the newer model flagships that supports the same software more efficiently. maybe I'm just crazy but can someone please try the back to LJC stock unrooted. and let me know if it works better than the back to stock MC2.
plus it could possibly be better doing all the OTA to 4.4.2 from an older stock rom.
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.

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.
So the story is about 9 months ago my Galaxy note 4's USB port got messed up. I cannot charge my phone without using an external battery cradle, nor can I connect my phone to computer and sync/odin. I am stuck on a rooted BOB7 rom specifically the noterized rom stable 3. I know I cannot jump from BOB7 to COK1 etc... via flashing. I was wondering if the jump to marshmallow from lollipop would work.
Hmmm. let's see. I think you might be in a bad situation. You can't install ota updates if you're rooted and/or have a custom recovery. So those are the two biggest hurdles. You can use supersu to unroot so do that first. Next you will need to see if you can get a flashable stock OB7 recovery and flash it. Another thing that may be a problem is the debloated rom you're currently running. That may or may not cause problems with downloading and installing the ota's. I can make a flashable zip for you for the stock recovery but you first will need to download and flash my stock OB7 rom. Look for it here in the Sprint N4 forums.
Steps to success:
1. Download and flash stock rooted OB7 rom.
2. Use SuperSu app to unroot and uninstall supersu
3. Find a flashable stock OB7 recovery (I will provide if needed)
4. Do a factory reset by rebooting to the stock recovery
5. Once phone boots up, setup accounts, etc per usual and go to settings/system update and check for updates.
6. Let the update download and try to install it. You should have success. If it is successful then follow update instructions and once your phone is fully updated then you should check for updates again until you are fully updated to the latest MM 6.0 ota.
PM me if you need a flashable stock OB7 recovery or other help.
Good luck.
Thank you

Sorry for the late reply Cheryl. There is no reason not to update your software to Marshmallow 6.0. Typically updates bring improved performance and battery life as well as other software optimizations which are always better than previous software builds. You should backup your photo's etc before installing any update just in case. If you're one of those who doesn't like change and is content with your phone with it's current software then you don't have to update the software as long as there isn't a critical update that would prevent something from working on your phone unless you take the update. If everything works and your happy then you can leave it as is. But if you are interested in improved battery life and overall performance as well as new security features and policies of android, then by all means update your software the first chance you get. there are no drawbacks that i have noticed or read from any other users. Marshmallow is a go! :good:

So that was it. You cannot downgrade to kk? I am sure at the time that was important but i havnt had any interest in downgrading b4 so doubt i will now. I know bob7 was the most popular for roms at the time also but honestly i am past my flashaholic phase and just want to havebrhe best phone i can.
Is there hot spot and root for mm? Hotspot is probably the only thing i really care about and even that isn't as important these days

I don't know how to extract it from a .tar but I know it can be acquired it like this:
1. full backup in TWRP
2. copy the backup to pc for safekeeping
3. odin full OB7 stock tar
4. without flashing TWRP, root using CF auto root*
5. install Flashify from Google Play
6. backup recovery
7. copy the backup to pc for uploading
*I don't know which version (if applicable) as I never use that method to root. sorry
obviously you wouldn't be able to do this yourself, you would need someone on the forum with OB7 bootloader to do this, and honestly, without knowing how to extract / find it in the.tar I still think that would take a lot less time and effort than this method lol
I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a tar for PK1 can anyone tell me if there is one yet or are we still waiting on a tar? Sorry I usually don't ask questions but this one has me scratching my head lol

You can always download the update and rip it from the phone and use android kitchen to make your own zip file of the tar

I mean how to convert update.zip to a flashable file either from odin or recovery or at least how to make a full tar file to flash via odin instead of downloading a large tar file.
Assume that you want to take OTA update and you successfully update your phone to the latest version then you want to make a full tar file to give it to your friend or to use it for emergency cases instead of downloading the full tar again from internet and losing your balance in download process.
You can't make a tar
But you can take a tar and make an update.zip either way they will be the same size
the only way to get the full tar is to download it when it is released
but you can take the update from the OTA if you full restore from tar of pj1 to pk1 then use that to update via recovery but youll need to be stock the OTA update zip files have file checking so it will fail if youre not stock
if you do get it PM me the link to the update.zip file I'll remove the integrity check so you can update on a rooted device

As for current suggested ROM, I believe that's subjective for now. These security updates tend to release faster than developers can port features and compatibility, IMO.
You may consider rooting PK1 or downgrading to PJ1 and rooting that for now. I can't give an ETA for the ported Note7. Other ports require additional reading, shared files and workarounds and individual effort for data and compatibility reasons. Reason is, these ROMs may also be beta and improving but also don't support Sprint's unique network.
The ROM you're asking about is in alpha or beta stages of development. tx_dbs_tx may release it in it's early alpha or beta if he feels it's stable enough for most users. Be patient; I think it'll happen soon enough.

Thanks, i had the Note 5 rom but it started to act funny so i odined back to stock and took a couple of updates to PK1. All i need or want is root and Tether, what would you suggest i flash or Odin to get that being i am on PK1?

I haven't seen a stock modified services.jar for updates after PH4. For tether, try the non modified approach in general forum. I think you have to reset that after each reboot?
For which to root and modify, I'd suggest PJ1 since that's where development is currently focused. Don't hold me to it but it appears there may not be a lot development for PK1 and up. (At least for now... that appears to be the case.)
Make a stock backup of PJ1 stock unmodified once you Odin TWRP for a possible starting point for the Note7 port install from OP instructions if it happens soon enough. That may save you a trip to Odin later as long as your bootloader and baseband remain PJ1. Just restore that instead. I recommend doing the backup before root, user applications and Google Play or Samsung updates are applied. The less of these, the better the backup for starting point is. All it would need is the completion of the setup wizard to backup with TWRP. Backup to extSdCard for safe keeping.
After TWRP backup, you can modify as needed to get by until then. Make another backup before flashing any other ROM or major mod to save time on customization duplication of effort if you should make a mistake. I prefer to keep both stock and preferred modified version of update on hand for the occasional oops or major mod trials that don't go as expected. Doesn't matter if making several backups of current ROM but I delete the ones that aren't current or relative to immediate backup restore intentions for such occasions. You never really appreciate timely application backups in titanium or helium and TWRP backups until it matters. They can save restoration time and make you feel good about the habit.

It's always best to downloaded it from Samsung. I used unroot to get it but now some great guys have made it so you can again change you're status to official like you could on kitkat. Wanam Xposed and firefds work great. The first ROM in the note 4 sprint has been the dtux mod for a minute. Theirs aroma installer is quite awesome. I'm looking at am official status and I'm quite customized.
