I have TWRP'd my MK2 build SGH-i337. Which now as i am reading kills recovery on the locked bootloader.
I have seen a bunch of threads getting people odin'd back to MF3 using the MF3.tar file, but i have tried this and it fails every time. I am guessing from what i am reading that i cant go back to MF3. Is there a mk2 stock tar file i can odin? I cant ADB or flash via recovery, at this point Odin seems to be my only option for interaction with the phone.
I have also seen people taking these phones up to Best Buy to use SMART tool from Samsung. Is this my only hope? This is my work phone and kinda feeling a little regretful at the moment, so can anyone can confirm my options at this point?
I know this is similar to previous posts about mf3 twrp'd phones but i didn't see anything about mk2, so sorry in advanced if this is to similar and i am missing something.

Here is more info on the MK2 update file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47998793&postcount=819
I was able to get to recovery
I am at recovery now but still do not see a full mk2 update. There is the update file for 4.3 i tried to side load that but received E:Error in //tmp/update.zip (status 7).
Is this the mk2 file you are referring to it is about 700 meg? I couldn't find anyone with a full stock mk2. Any suggestions from here?
Yes its the 700 meg one. Side load that. It worked for me. Put it on your sd card then in stock recovery sise load from external sd.
Clarification
Are you wanting me to do this with these fix files?
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z
And then these steps with the mk2 instead of mj9 update file instead?
Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
Reboot the phone back into Download mode and restart Odin.
Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
The phone should now reboot to recovery by itself and apply a small update. If it fails, stop and report.
The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.
Reboot into recovery mode and flash mk2update.zip. I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
You should now have MK2.
Yes

Just make sure your flashing that 700mb file its the full mk2 update.
I'm stuck in the same boat after TWRP....will only boot to odin. No recovery, if I try it ony goes to a screen where it says to hook it up to Kies and update firmware that way(doesn't work though because Kies tries to download MDL). Will not be able to attempt this method til I get home from work so I'm staying glued to this post in the meantime. Appreciate the updates!
What version of Odin are you using? I have the same problem and cant get past emergency part 2. Phone does not auto reboot after cache flash.

Same here. Thanks. Phone is still stuck after flashing mf3-emergency-part-2.tar. I try and manually reboot and it takes me back into Odin mode.
After flashing mf3-emergency-part-2.tar, phone hangs and says:

Just keep trying again, re-read the main post above. I literally sid it 3 times and it finally worked. I just kept reading thru the post till I found good info. Its in there ya just gotta find it.
Great Success Back at Stock!
I have gotten back to the stock from directions from gtj0, but big thanks to joshzdad2013 for leading me in the right directions :laugh::good:
Using Odin 3.07, I followed the directions except using the mk2 file 2400258.zip in the final adb sideload.
MK2 file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=819
Also i forced reboot after step 6 by resetting odin and unplugging phone and plugging back in, then i just odin'd this file from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766399 Not sure if this helped any, but after forcing the reboot with the blank tar file it came back up in recovery and forced a small update. I then just used adb.exe to side load the 2400258.zip file after putting phone in adb sideload mode.

That's awesome. . I managed to get the force reboot trick to work at Step 6. Now I'm at the blank screen flashing LED phase (Step 8). Better progress than where I was before, but I still cannot boot into recovery. I'll keep trying.

Try flashing the recovery again after doing the emergency TAR's. I had to do that in order to fix mine, and then it restored nicely.

Thanks! :good: That got me back into Recovery mode. Now I'm getting Signature Verification Failed / Installation Aborted when I try and adb sideload this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47998793&postcount=819 (2400258.zip) Looks like a bad download. Tried it twice.
I'm gonna try this file I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 and see if that will work. DL is taking forever...
Nope. Both links didn't work. I'm also getting a CRC check error on both files if I try and unzip. Unexpected end of archive. Anyone know where I can get a good MK2 update file??
Got home and started with the instructions....flashed the first recovery-mj6.tar.md5 and the phone booted back up normally! I imagine that if I try to boot to recovery it'll soft brick again. Gonna leave it like this for now til the wife gets home and then see what happens.
SUCCESS!

You guys are all lifesavers. This is gonna teach me to be more careful when flashing roms.
Hi,
I try to root my (S5 SM-G900F XXU1BOJ1), but id did not work...
Here are the Steps I did:
1. Starting Odin 3.10.7 as Admin (Win10); Autoreboot on, F. Reset Time on; rest off.
2. Click on AP, choose File "CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedx-smg900f.tar.md5" taken from here (for 5.0)
3. Put Galaxy s5 in download mode (switch off phone then hold VolDown+Home+Power)
4. Connect S5 with USB to PC and hit "Start" on Odin; Odin quits with: success: 1 / failed: 0
Phone rebooted automaticaly, but halt with:
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
Battery out & in, booting in recovery (VolUP+Home+PWR) result allways in Set Warranty Bit: recovery;
Battery out & in, booting in download mode still working, so I flashed "twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar" with Odin to get my Phone work...
What is wrong? How can I get my S5 rooted?
Thank you & best wishes,
cya
Try KLTExx and not dx

OK, flashed with "CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5" taken from this Post but same here, the only different is the screen turns black and no response (waiting 20 min.).
Maybe the files is for 4.4 and not for 5.0; any idea where get kltexx for 5.0?
Also tried it with "Auto Reboot" off in Odin and rebooted manualy.
Hmm, I looked at the Chainfire Site and found both files listet for my G900F, but none of them is for the actual Stock ROM release ( G900FXXU1BOJ1).
Now I habe a rooted S5
1. copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" to phone internal storage
2. flash the "twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar" with Odin (with "Auto Reboot" OFF)
3. After battery out and in, boot into recovery (VolUP+Home+PWR)
4. In recovery with TWRP go to install zip, choose "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip".
Reboot Phone and tested with a root Checker from Playstore and -> Congratulations! Root access is properly installed on this device!

Thanks, I had the same problem and thanks to this method it workes just fine.
Does this mean you don't need CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5 if you are using the above method?
As long as you have a custom recovery and use the flashable SuperSU.zip you don't need cf auto root. I think it's a safer method personally, as I've seen a few people on here have issues using cf auto root. I used the recovery + SuperSU method myself without problem on the G900F
Alright, here's my situation:
-On PB1 BL and PD1
-Dev edition BL
-Twrp installed
I want to upgrade to the PD1 bl so my softkeys and wifi work on phoenix rom. Ive ALREADY tried the method to fix this issue posted in the bl unlock thread (flash stock recovery then flash firmware).
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Directions To Update Or Downgrade Bootloaders
Download this files
PB1_Firmware_Only_NK2_Kernel.tar.md5
TWRP_Prepare.zip
SafeStrap_PB1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
SafeStrap_PD1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
SafeStrap_PF4_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit
In TWRP Flash TWRP_Prepare.zip
Reboot to Download Mode
In Odin Under AP slot load PB1_Firmware_Only_NK2_Kernel.tar.md5
Now in Odin Under PIT load S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit If you have a 32gb phone instead of 16gb phone skip this step
Click Start
When finished on reboot watch for Safestrap Splash Screen and enter Safestrap
Now goto Power Menu/Reboot Menu and reboot to Download Mode
Make sure in download mode the current binary is Official. If it is not reflash In Odin Under AP slot load PB1_Firmware_Only_NK2_Kernel.tar.md5
Now in Odin Under PIT load S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit
Click Start on reboot enter Safestrap reboot back to download mode and make sure binary status is Official
If Binary Status is Official Pull battery restart and enter SafeStrap
Flash: (Choose 1 Whatever One You Choose Is The Firmware And Bootloader Version You Will Be On)
SafeStrap_PB1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
SafeStrap_PD1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
SafeStrap_PF4_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
Phone will Power Off.
Pull Battery enter TWRP recovery Wipe Data and System and Flash A Rom That matches Firmware For example PB1 would be a 5.0 rom PD1 Or PF4 would be 6.0.1 Rom
If your stuck in a boot-loop and you have a broken Home button or Volume buttons (Heck may be even both ), you can't enter to recovery and fix the soft-brick. I had the same problem and after hours of searching i found a way to boot into recovery using odin.
Steps:
1. Use MICRO USB JIG to enter download mode (Can buy on ebay and local phone spare part shops)
2. Set odin settings to Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time. (Reccomended cf auto root odin, It is preset for this type of flashes)
3. Load tar.md5 to AP and flash it
Voila, Now you are on twrp :highfive::good:
Flash twrp image from sd card and use reboot to recovery option or you can flash a rom directly from this
(If you are on a stock rom it may get overwritten, so use above step to flash recovery)
For other phone models: Use cache.img in chainfire autoroot and recovery.img(Don't use the one that comes with cf auto-root) of your phone model and search & follow instructions to build a odin tar.md5. Make sure to follow file order(of your device) in odin tar other wise your phone will brick.
This is not my sole work. I only followed the instruction and built the odin tar.md5 file

This is a guide to an untested yet possible method of rooting the Samsung J330L
So far I have been able to install Clockwork mod successfully and wanted to share my findings.
(links at the end of page)
NOTE: I take no credit for creating/editing the files listed below
*IF you follow this guide you may void your warranty*
*I am not responsible or liable for any damages while following or attempting to follow this guide*
The Korean variant of the J3 is relatively easy to install CWM.
You first must install, as with any Samsung device, Odin.
You should be able to download the latest Odin from there web page below
Secondly you need a 2017 firmware set for the j330L both to do the installation and to flash if anything goes wrong.
After installing Odin and extracting the .tar files you will need to put you phone in download mode by pressing and holding the home vol- and power keys
when you get a blue screen hit vol+. You should be in download mode.
Connect your phone to your computer and open Odin. You will need to install the BL AP CP and CSC files. (For the CSC file use the HOME file)
reboot and boot back into download mode
Flash the recovery.tar in the AP slot.
Reboot to recovery by holding down Home power and vol+
----Past this point i have had no success flashing magisk or super SU so I am currently working on flashing a ROM for root(causes boot loop)

True but at the time of posting TWRP causes boot loop. I haven't tried the TWRP version that you posted tho. I will give it a shot.
Ok After much testing i have successfully rooted the damn thing with the twrp installation above and the latest Super User but installing magisk or installing a custom rom now causes bootloop. This damned phone is irritating AF but root does work.... now i need to find out how remove my kernel so i can base a rom off it
