So I made the mistake of trying to flash back to a Cyanogen build off of the new 4.3 ota update. I bricked my phone. I was wondering if someone knew of a way to make a debricking img of the new stock MJB 4.3 update so I could do the sd card debricking method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860 and actually use my phone again. Or if not if someone could point me in the right direction of where to find one. Also, if someone knows where I can get an ODIN flashable file of the MJB update, that would be wonderful as well.
Yeah I effed up, but I don't really have money for a new phone right now and I kind of just need help with this. I will be really really thankful :victory:if someone helps me out.
+1 on this. Would like to test out an ATT i747 debrick img from a 4.3 OTA.
I would use Odin to flash it back to stock, I have the proper file but can not upload it here, and do not remember where I downloaded it so I am trying to find you a forum with a download link to the file. I will edit this post shortly for you with a link.
Mr.Rageface
Here is the link http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00023/E5R/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 this will start your download that you can use with Odin to go back to stock. And I do not take any credit for this download I just happened to have come across it searching for a solution to fix my own phone when I bricked it I hope this helps you! If someone finds the owner of this link please give them a Thanks and credit for giving us this download.
Unfortunately ODIN is unable to see a hard-bricked phone. Can't power on, can't get into either recovery or download mode. PC picks it up as QHSUSB_DLOAD, which is why the debrick image is wanted.
I think this can be merged with the following thread though, there's a i747M debrick.img in that one but it didn't work on my ATT i747... possibly because it's an M version and/or that it's not a 4.3 OTA debrick.img. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525902
I've used google to it full extent and cant find the original stock firmware for my phone! I didn't make a back up...so I guess I deserve it. Anyways can someone help me find my stock firmware ? I have the SGH-I317 model and haved checked the two firmware sites that are listed in the guided on how to unroot the galaxy note 2. If anyone can help that would be appreciated!
Here is the guide that I am using. ..

Sorry if this has been covered before, could not find a post that really solved this issue. I have an old GS3 with cyanogenmod on it. I'm trying to transfer it to my wife's number. It appears from what I've found I can't do this with cyanogenmod and most of what I've found said I need to reset to stock. My intention is to go back to cyanogenmod after the phone is updated so I don't really want to un-root the phone. I'm not sure if flashing a rom built off the stock rom would work, I'm also not sure how to identify which roms those are. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

wicked X 8.0 or Stock ND8/NDC rooted de-odex which is flashable through recovery there both located in the development section
i can't seem to find much info on root/recovery for g3. i found a little bit about bump and stump.... saying that twrp is possible but not much hard reliable facts on the topic.
Can someone who knows what they are talking about or knows a link to someone who knows what they're talking about help me get informed?
Basically i just want to know the procedure, how reliable it is (what are the chances of bricking the device), and any other relevant info that may be available. Any help is greatly appreciated and i'll be looking forward to developing some themes for this phone .
Thanks,
KS
*edit* also wondering if anyone has tried backing up a rooted version of the stock rom and restoring it. Does this work? Or do you have to flash kdz to return to stock after trying out some custom roms?
follow this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5T7By2Zqvk (you can skip the parts on installing the rom)

NJ5 Gear VR?
Is anyone able to confirm whether or not NJ5 stock works with the Gear VR on DE?
So would it be a bad idea to update just using the software update in the phones settings menu? Or should I do it by running odin? What actual difference does this make? Will this cause me issues once we do have a root method for this device?
would like to know, do I need to use a full firmware or partial firmware to update to lollipop?
Clarify instructions
Hello,
I'm fairly new to Android. That being said, I'm also new to flashing using Odin. I've searched for quite awhile for "detailed" instructions of Odin, but can't seem to find any. I did find a few things here and there but I would like to know what each and every entry does in the program. If someone can point me to the full instructions (link), I would greatly appreciate it.
Beyond that, the reason I'm posting here is that I'm a little confused by the directions given to use Odin in this thread. Line #5 states... "Add the *.tar.md5 file to AP / PDA". Looking at Odin 3.09, I don't see any "PDA" section anywhere. Is the reference to "PDA" simply something that AP used to be called before and is now not present in Odin 3.09?
Keep in mind that newbies like myself can get confused by small things. We don't want to make any mistakes we'll regret later. I hope you can relate and understand.
Attached a photo of what I'm asking about.
Thanks!

Sorry I can't answer the first part of your question. The answer to the second part is use AP. And yes AP was called PDA in previous versions. :good:
Update: Don't ask me why this post editor keeps removing the spaces between my sentences here.
Update 2: Stupid &^%*ing website!!
Update 3: Well I guess the spacing thing is only on my computer. It's fine on my phone. Go figure. ?
Thank you for the information. Now all I have to do is work up the guts to revert!

Well if it makes you feel any better, I've never had a problem from an Odin flash. But I'm very thorough about getting all the info I need. Notice my signature. ☺

Had to restore and need to make sure I have the right firmware...Please help
It has been a very long time since I have posted to the threads. I have been with android since the very beginning and have flashed and done the custom rom thing quite a bit. I am stumped with this one though and I cannot find any information on it after searching for two days. I have the developer edition Note 4 and I had to do a restore on it because I did not like lollipop. I don't know if I have the right firmware. Even though everything is working alright, it just doesn't feel right. I am listing my firmware stuff below. Please tell me if I am right. I also don't know why my build number is NK5 and my baseband is NJ5. The way that I restored was flashing the stock NJ5 and then the nj5 to nk5 like for the lollipop update. The only difference is that I stopped there and loaded TWRP and root. Any help is much appreciated.
This is what I have currently:
BASEBAND: N910VVRU1ANJ5
KERNEL: 3.10.0
BUILD NUMBER: KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANK5
Is this correct?
Thanks!

Only if you have a developer edition. You DO NOT want to update the developer edition with the updater in the phone or you will lock your bootloader. Otherwise I dont see a reason not to update with the phone. These files here are if you brick your phone and need to do a restore.

I pulled the trigger and all went well. I did get into three bootloops but pulled the battery each time until it finally gave in and booted up into KK. Not sure what went on there. Once I got through, I powered down, entered into the root menu, cleared cache/wiped data and restarted again. All is good, so it worked! Back in KK!
Lollipop does seem to run faster/smoother... and colors are nice... but I disliked the interface.
1) The notification panel is lighter blue in LP than in KK and so contrast is diminished. Old people have a hard time with contrast issues... and I'm OLD!
2) Don't like that LP phone number pad has no separators. No biggie but I like KK better.
3) Don't like how they added a floating icon in LP in contacts. It blocks some of my contact's info, so I have to scroll just to read it. Also, the icon makes the interface look "cheesy". Bad move in my opinion.
4) There are other things I dislike, but forgot what they were since I'm back to KK!!!!
Thanks for the help and reassurance!:good:
thanks
sir, what can i say .... in short i loose hope for upgrading into lollipop but your uploading help me
thanks sir please upload latest update
N910VVRU1BOAF Firmware
Hello,
I have a N910VVRU1BOAF that got updated to Lollipop but needs to go back to KitKat. I downloaded the Full Firmware from the first post and followed instructions from post #3. The flash runs without errors and shows PASS at the end, but when the phone reboots no changes have been made to it and its still running Lollipop. It looks like if all I did to the phone was just rebooting it. Sorry for the noob question. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
My bad. Just found out what I missed. N910VVRU1BOAF is lollipop, so I just need to flash N910VVRU1ANJ5.
Thanks to all.

Your Baseband, and Kernel match my verizon retail note 4 that is still running KK as delivered from the factory. My Build number is KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANJ5 though (i.e., Baseband and Build are both ...J5).
Good evening everyone. I am now the proud owner of a Vzw Note 4 Developer edition I had got this phone rooted and ROMd running NI1 firmware and Beanstalk rom 5.0.2 and kernel version 3.10. I've been roaming and searching for help trying to backup my Efs(ABOOT). I've tried using EFS pro tool several times and having no luck with it working. While creating a new setup as described in the efs pro guide for this device, i set three names for file, description, and device, click on read pit(pit shows up) click save and refresh manage button, select my created list but nothing shows up on the pit description to backup so i am unable to make a efs backup. Ive tried also with the terminal emulator method but both pc and note 4 cannot detect device.... Su works fine and have Superuser 2.46 and busybox current installed , I've granted permission and given remember this sync key. I just have 2 question' pertaining to my story since i can't find anything helpful with the ni1 firmware/baseband. 1) do i need to unroot and use stock restore for NI1 to get back to full stock rom and firmware than update to nj5 firmware in order to get efs pro to work with my note 4 or can i just follow the single step update to OAF firmware from the NI1 firmware if i want to go to Mod57s pac rom 5.1? 2) if someone would be so kind to explain the order of operation of updating for firmware and rom.. (i. E) flash firmware before rom or rom before firnware? I only see mention of firmware updating losing custom recovery and root but not which order needed to be flashed? I apologize for the long trip but without having a backup of my aboot or efs i don't want to chance doing something the wrong way. Thank you all so much for your time

Note 4 Retail Version Root
I have seen some post stating that this is for Developer version ONLY. Simple question. Can I use these root files on Verizon Samsung Note 4 Retail version? I just upgraded from an S4. Would really like to root my NOTE. If so, i will document step by step on what I do and share with the community. - Thanks in advance - Jamey

I'm having spotty cellular connection and I'd like to try a different modem or two and see if another one works better.
I'm running CM14 on a retail edition (rooted obviously), can I just flash the modems only? Any knowledge of them working with CM14?
Thanks in advance.
