Decided not to root this phone because of Samsung pay and I haven't had any luck with custom kernels on last 2 phones, always worse battery drain then stock. I don't understand why a custom kernel was needed for root this time I've used stock kernel on note 2,3,and 4. Maybe I'm just that dense and have never understood what goes into gaining root at any level but it's all good I'm happy with stock for once on a Samsung phone.

Cause none of those phones are running 5.1.1
Nature of the beast and the kernel is from a W8 model as the TMO kernel hasn't been released yet. Kernel is well done no other mods that I see besides root and file system

Is there some way were i can make these zips into md5 or .tar so i can flash them through odin? I've never used odin before and this is my first time actually using it, but is there someway were i can flash a zip through odin? I would like to try the deodexed, but is this made intentional as a rom? and if so do i just do the procedures of flashing a rom?
Sorry for all these questions i just never used odin before lol. Thanks for all the help!!

The firmware zip files are actually TAR files after you extract it from the zip file.
Once you extract the TAR file with winrar/winzip you need to flash it using Odin.
You cannot flash or install the firmware files if you don't extract the TAR files
and use them with Odin.
There is no way to flash zip files using Odin and you cannot use Odin to flash roms.
Roms are zip files which have to be flashed using twrp or philz recovery.
My suggestion for you is to do a lot of reading and research
here in xda before attempting to flashing anything.
Good luck,
Have a great weekend.
Odin will flash the .md5 files just takes a while as it verify's the file. Once verified you can press start.

Thanks for the toggle mod, it worked great!
I just hope that one of these days you can modify it so the toggles don't have a continuous scroll but
instead work more or less like the stock toggles notification screen where we normally edit them.
So far so good, not one erroneous reboot or any other issues after rooting.
The wifi calling is the one and only thing I have found which is not working.
I always disliked the secondary symbols on the keyboard, to me they are not only
an eye sore but they look like chicken scratches next to the letters making it more
difficult to read the letters so I edited the feature.xml & removed all the secondary
symbols and what a difference it made. It looks clean and easy to read now.
I did the same thing with my Note 3 and Note 4 as well.
Also,
There is one thing which I dislike after rooting, and that's philz recovery I
would so much prefer to use twrp instead.
What's the worst thing that can happen if I were to odin flash the twrp recovery
which the N920T Note 5 people are using?
I would love to give it a try if I knew for sure that if worst came to worst I could
simply odin flash philz recovery again.

ok look for these 2 lines in the updater script
Code:
run_program("/tmp/sqlite3", "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db", "insert into system values(null, 'notification_panel_active_number_of_apps','49');");
run_program("/tmp/sqlite3", "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db", "insert into system values(null, 'notification_panel_active_number_of_apps_for_reset','49');");
change the 49 to the number of toggles you want showing then in the lines above move around the toggles you want to the start of the line. Say you want 10 move the toggles you want to the first 10 in the order you want to show them. I haven't really tried this but in theory it should work as I like to be able to toggle any one from the scroll.
Yep the kernel has been solid! ipsec fc is wifi calling. I just sent a link to the source on my git for the G928T kernel to the developer and hopes he will make a true TMO kernel.
Yea the keyboard is much cleaner and love all the feature.xml mods
TWRP may work as long as you don't use f2fs. Don't mind Philz have used it before on my S5 when TWRP was causing problems.
Deodexed extraction problem
So I read in this forum that the tar file comes out when you extract the zip, so I did that, but all I get is a file folder. Is there some obvious way to get the tar file to flash with odin that i'm missing? I've read everywhere and I can't just switch the zip to tar so I really don't know what to do.... Can anyone explain to me on how to flash this? or at least get the tar file or maybe md5?
Thanks so much for the help!

What exactly did you want to flash? (we need more specifics)
What exactly do you see when you open the zip file?
You are right, you cannot rename the zip file to tar.
I am assuming that we are talking about odin flash firmware.
Good luck!

So this must mean we can flash fash back to stock with odin if we have problems.
yup! this is our fall back ROM. now we need a triangle away to reset the counter!
It Works
I decided to be the test monkey on this one.
I had a nandroid backup of when I screwed my system so badly it just boot looped repeatedly. Restored that with cwm, verified it was still hosed, unpacked this zip, used odin to burn the .tar.md5 to the phone as PDA, rebooted.
It does some gear chunking while booting the first time then reboots - don't panic yet! On second boot it does some more rebuilding, then 'WELCOME!'
Bonus: CWM now sees the actual external sdcard as /sdcard and can find things like roms and backups on it. Edit: This CWM finds .zips on the sdcard, but doesn't seem to know how to backup/restore.
So is this for un rooting our phones?

After burning this with Odin I ended up with a CWM that I didn't expect - and I've never seen one that actually recognized the external card. However, with all the things I've been trying it's quite possible I ended up burning a boot image I forgot about. I need to try reburning this and see if anything changes, but can't do it right now.

Strange - I had kind of a weird experience with this. I flashed via Odin as usual (as I've done a 100x before) and when it rebooted, it still had remnants of the previous rom I had installed. I didn't get the "welcome" screen as if I was starting from a new factory rom. but at least it got me back to step 1 and I could flash the Lean 2.1 rom again to repair my screw ups.

I've never seen one, but doesn't mean it can't be done. Normally of one wants to flash back to stock it's cause something went wonky or they want to start over, so i don't think it's come up. But obtaining root again is cake, so maybe just do the Odin procedure and move forward due to the time needed to make a disable zip for stock...just my thoughts

And as for the patch I was thinking of trying it but im afraid of bricking my phone. You can flash that rom as long as the rom doesnt install two files( which are carrier related). I just cant remember what files. Just read in that thread and look for those files. when u download the rom use root explorer and check that the rom doesnt have them in there.
Let me know how it goes ?

So to confirm, you tried the patch at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394 and you got stuck on the flashing Samsung logo? Me being the noob that I am, I (stupidly) decided to simply go ahead and flash the N7100 version on my L900 following the instructions for the N7100 (original) varient. It of course bricked me, never got anything beyond the flashing Samsung logo, just does that forever until I pulled the battery.
However, by attempting to flash it I seem to have created other problems and here's where I'm stumped. I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no? What I'm getting at here is that I'm pretty sure Nandroids from different recoveries, for example CWM and TWRP are completely incompatible right?
If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

Okay lets cover the backup types first. Philz will backup/restore in both twrp and cwm format but you have to select the option. Now about your backup it will still be no good since it was created with twrp.

now that we have 4.4.2 there shouldn't be a reason we cant get this rom ported
Hello s3 users i just upgraded to this phone and it came with 4.1.2 so i rooted it of course and next thing you know my 3yr old somehow updated phone to 4.3:crying::confused i still have root but if i uninstall knox security will it jack my phone up or brick it also is the bootloader locked or not on this model just need clarfication.or do i just use xda member cLogic instructions and reroot and remove knox..
I'm not too sure but if I recall correctly this doesn't stop you from rooting. Anyone else care to chime in with your expertise? @DocHoliday77
Edit : upon reading the thread by cLogic I'm sure this works. It sounds logical, and his method makes sense and others have posted in the thread. Make sure you follow the instructions properly.

Bootloader is not locked, and the easiest way to get rid of knox imo is to flash the root66 firmware. There are flashable scripts out there that do so as well, but ive never used em so I dont know how thorough they are.

If i just use the Knox removal zip in twrp i will work?? Also i can flash roms then right
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Free mobile app
No need to use any removal method if your going to flash a rom. Afaik all roms already have it removed. But if you want to remain on your current build but remove knox, yes flash the removal as per instructions where you find it. (I think theres one in AT&T forums that might be easier to find).

ok..so i uninstalled with knox removal zip.Im running 4.3 ota rooted twrp 2.6.3 can i install any t999 rom or only 4.3+ up because i seen somewhere on here you cant install older builds because the bootloader on 4.3 dont play well with older builds
You can flash older roms just fine. As for if they'd be better or worse on 4.3 firmware I'm not sure. Should be ok though, depending on how old you want to go. The further back, the more likely it is you might see some issues, but not many have done this so I can't say for sure.

Thanks:good:..One more thing,ok im running stock 4.3 rooted build uvuenc2 t999 twrp recovery 2.5.0.0 i read that i cant restore backup with twrp do i overwrite twrp with cwm to backup or what also while backing up in twrp do i backup boot,cache or just system,data,etc..
System - rom
Boot - kernel
Data - (apps, settings, etc)
I use twrp 2.7.0.0 and have no issues. Haven't used cwm in several years. Yours is very old though. If you dont update it it will probably give you problems.

CM still hasnt bothered to update their updater-scripts to include the latest firmware builds. You will have to manually edit the script and either delete ALL "assert" lines, or add your firmware build to it.

Well i also tried to flash a different rom using twrp 2.7.0 t999 4.3 and got the same error??and also where could i find a good editing script tried 7zip but it came with malware so had to delete.I really like cm and want to try.
Use Notepad++ for editing the script. Get it here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Get 7-zip from here: http://7-zip.org
Not sure where you got yours if it says its malware. I've been using it for years with zero issues and believe it can be trusted. Just extract the contents of the rom, find the updater-script in the meta-inf folder tree and edit with notepad++. Also delete the signatures if they are present (3 files in the meta-inf folder). Some roms have them, some dont. CM probably does.
There are many roms out there that have not been updated to include the latest firmware builds. You more than likely got another one like it.

No problem at all! I'm glad I could help!
STOP!!! PLEASE READ!!! Before you flash this zip file in recovery, you MUST FIRST flash either the NDC tar(see below for link),
or the ND8 tar, in order to obtain the KK bootloader and modem. If you flash this directly over JellyBean bootloader, you WILL brick!!
Alright folks, here we go again. Just as the title says, this is the NDC 4.4.2 Kit Kat update for Boost/VM in flashable zip.
Stock, rooted, busybox, zipaligned, odex or deodex. That’s it. Pretty basic. More to come in the future, but this should be enough
to keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!
Notes: PLEASE READ!
1. In order for this to work, you need to flash the NDC tar first! Flashing the tar will/should not wipe your data.
2. And yes, NDC tar does come with Knox, so if you flash the tar, you have Knox. And if you flash CWM via Odin to flash this,
it WILL trip Knox, thus voiding your warranty.
3. This MAY cause you to lose your modem, but not to fear, we got you covered.

This is from jmatherly11, over at Android Forums, who found a good way to get rid of the "Samsung" title in the drop down, as well as some other stuff.
For those of you that are seeing "Samsung" in the pull down menu as well as the network type displaying "Samsung" there is a fix in the PlayStore, its called "Refresh Customization" by Samsung MNO Labs. This will factory reset your phone after you download select the first option called "Refresh Customization Opt1," if it is unsuccessful try "Opt2." This fixed my phone after the KitKat upgrade and if your like me and use Sensorly to map Sprint's network it will not correctly map the info because Sensorly thinks you on a network called "Samsung."
This app was designed for Samsung Galaxy devices ONLY running on Sprint's networks. If a Samsung device's initial customization settings has been lost due to the system upgrade to the KitKat platform then this is your fix. This also repairs the "My Account" app that displays "MobileZone."
Also my device is completely stock on 4.4 so for those of you that are rooted I have no idea if this will work.

awesome work JD, I don't post a lot because I do a lot of reading and I find I do not usually have to post because if you do your research everything is covered. But this one has me concerned as it seems a little out of my league. I do not think I am a noob but, not far past. I have a galaxy s3 I rooted it myself and I'm running 4.3., I noticed you mentioned Odin and flashing my custom recovery, I am already running clockworkmod do I have to use Odin? Can't I just flash that car and then the zip using the custom recovery I already have? It's business as usual right? Just flash those items in the order and then the new modem and I'm good to go? And if I have to revert back to back up will I be able to do that? Will I be able to revert back to 4.3? Just a little nervous and thank you for all of your hard work and answering my question in advance. I love the work you guys do and I think it's awesome everyone in this community stick together and help each other. Anyways I will lay back in the bushes and patiently watch for a response!

Question 1: Do you have to use Odin?
Answer: You'll need to be on the ND8 or NDC bootloader for this to work. When he says you have to use Odin, he means for flashing the stock tar for either the Sprint ND8 or the Boost/Virgin NDC ROMs. The tar files can't be flashed from recovery and please don't try to use Mobile Odin, as it doesn't like ND8/NDC.
Question 2: Can you revert back to 4.3?
Answer: You can revert to 4.3 insomuch as using a 4.3 ROM. You can either flash a 4.3 zip from recovery or restore a CWM/TWRP/etc. backup . You will not be able to revert your modem or bootloader to anything prior to ND8 after flashing the ND8/NDC bootloader. It just doesn't work.
Hope that helps.
Hey thank you that was very helpful, so I will have to go to the library today and use Odin. . and flash stock tar for virgin. Very complicated, but with these instructions I can do it ... So I 100% cannot use mobile Odin..,. ? Thank you my friend. Just wish I could update now w/o PC. Cheers

Most notice no change but you may have better reception with the NDC modem, no guarantees. They are about the same, just carrier specific. You can always flash back to ND8 tar if you do decide to try it, just fyi.
