My phone has knox tripped (Knox 0x1) and so I haven't been able to flash firmware using odin. I get errors every time. Would having the knox bootloader be the cause of me getting errors when trying to flash a new modem using Odin? How can I get around that? My baseband version currently shows as L720VPUEMK2.

I used the supposed firmware from stock and wifi not working

I bought this phone off a CLister and he advised he tried to root and then couldn't get wifi. I tried to factory reset and the phone was stuck in reboot.
I held down volume down, home and power and this was displayed:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SPH-L720
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox warranty void: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB:0x30
Write protection: Enable
eMMC Burst Mode: enabled
I found tutorials to flash with Odin. I went to sammobile and found the corresponding file for the SPH-L720 to flash back to stock. With Samsung USB firmware up to date and my official Samsung cable ready to go I flashed and was out of boot mode. I then factory reset the phone. Phone will not get wifi. I found this thread but don't want to use the wrong file to flash the modem.
Which file do I use to flash the modem to get my WiFi?
Software version: L720VPUFNG2
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: L720VPUFNG2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-2162929
Please help if you can spare the time and many thanks just for getting this thread started for the Sprint S4 users! All roads for the fix led back to you.

I've never messed around with firmware / basebands. I'm currently on MDL, should I update to NAE or would it cause problems? (I'm currently running Euroskank's Lollerpop if it makes a difference)

Questiong b4 FW flashing
Forgive the naive question, but i am still unclear as to how this process will play out.
I have a SPH-L720. Started with rooted stock at MF9/4.2.2. Just recently went to TriForce ROM at 3.1. I am looking at going to 5.4 TFR, but that would necessitate a firmware update. When flashing the firmware under an older ROM will that make this setup unstable? That to say, can i run a MK2 firmware while in TriForce 3.1? Just trying to get a better picture of what i'm getting in to.
Thanks,

Quick question, because I'm a noob and noobs do noob things, I tried to follow a guide to enable native wifi tethering on my s4, it did that common issue thats popping up, stuck on yellow sprint spark screen, having done that, i tried to flash with different versions of firmware, and they all fail, how do I know if i need the mf9, or mcf, etc.

Did you flash the modem via odin.

Hi,
I have a noob question regarding the installation of this rom.
I am running on ANE2 Stock ROOTED, what is the procedure in installing this rom?

Change themes
I know it may be a silly question, and might be because I missed something during set-up., but how do you choose one of the twlauncher themes? Can it be done through the UI at all or can you only choose a theme at install time? If that's the case are there any screenshots or descriptions of the themes available?
I followed to instructions on the main post to install latest version of NeatROM (latest Samsung and 0x0 knox method). Only place I deviated is I had to downgrade my kernel before so I could get root without tripping knox.
Again I apologise if I missed something obvious.

I scan downloads on my laptop with avast and malwarebytes after downloading with a strict firewall software and never seen any alerts . I'd suggest it's a false positive.
Maybe someone in the know will tell us what the file is for and if it's something that can be binned without affecting functionality.

tnx
tnx for knox 0x0.

How to do an update from V1.0 to 2.0 (Knox =0x0)
Hello,
I'm running on version 1.0 of your ROM(KNOX 0x0) and I want to upgrate to version 2.0? What is the best way to do this and and keep the Knox counter on 0x0?
Thank in advance.

So I followed the 0x0 Knox steps and had it running perfectly. Today I restarted my phone and it crashes after the Galaxy S intro. A message "Process System isn't responding" and asks me to wait, or close it. Then nothing happens. I can't access any apps. A black screen appears and when I hold down the power key to turn it off, it just resets and the same message appears. I will try reflashing later tonight, but just thought people should be aware of my problem with it.
I was reading and have heard people say it was a bad root, but I'm not sure.
If anyone else had has this issue let me know if you fixed it.

Is it possible to use this method on a Verizon Note 3 SM-N00V? Both models have the same processor and capabilities, but I'm not sure if the locked bootloader on my N00V would cause problems.

Well yes but I haven't tested it.
The root part I can guarantee will work but I will need to update the guide for other variant with the necessary kernels which I'm currently doing but the rom flashing, I cannot guarantee will work but I can make it for all those who are
Also please note that, the Dev base rom has additional modifications done for extended battery life. The Rom that I would provide would be 100% stock. (I'm saying this because the original stock firmware needs huge battery improvements).
I will update the thread with root kernel and stock kernels for N900V ASAP.

Awesome! I'm completely find with a stock ROM, I just miss root capabilities so much!
So I need to wait for a different .zip kernel file that was made for the N900V and I shouldn't use the N9005_ROOT_Kernel.zip file you have linked up right now? Other than that, the only other file needed is the stock kernel for the N900V on 4.4.2, right?

Yes you shouldn't use the N9005_ROOT_Kernel.zip which I have provided since its only for N9005 model.
Unfortunately since I'm not aware of your model and the method provided requires a ROOT_Kernel for your variant, which I'm still trying to find.

replaced both a stock Note 3 4.4 and a stock Note 3 5.0 - no issues
have successfully replaced both a stock note 3 4.4 and a stock note 3 5.0 [both new] with this root without tripping knox method
both are working smooth and have no issues, have installed various apk's requiring root/superuser access and all are working 100% as should
did it for a bit of fun, while STILL waiting for the EE Note 3 & EE Note 4 official firmware's that were promised months ago [just in case your reading XDA Mr EE!]
so to clarify the steps, all worked, no crashes, knox still showing 0x0
cheers for all your work and testing King and thanks to all that contributed with various bits n bobs to allow you to do it!

I've just broken my Knox 0x0 rooted Lollipop ROM. I was trying to disable the startup and shutdown sounds and renamed 2 files in the /system/media folder. They were called samsungboot and samsungshutdown or something, I cannot remember the file extensions. Can some kind person please upload them so I can try to replace them via adb without tripping Knox? Or is there another way? Thanks.
EDIT - never mind, I just went for a reinstall

just to clarify. will this method work if i have unrooted stock 5.0? and installing 4.4 wont trip knox?

That's correct

Will this work on galaxy N900t

Q: Note 3 [Apps can't save/SD card not recognized]
Hello XDA
It's my first time to post here and my first attempt in flashing a phone. I have a Note 3 SM-N9005 on Kitkat which I upgraded and rooted following the guide by XxXKINGMAKXxX. I followed to guide to the letter and have successfully gained a rooted Android 5.0 without any apparent problems. I used the stock ROM by XxXKINGMAKXxX and NOT the Alexander dev base.
After a day of using though, I started noticing that some of my apps can't seem to save or recognize my SD card. Here's a short list of some app errors that I encounter:
1. Google Earth ("An SD card is required to run this application")
2. Facebook Messenger (Unable to save image)
3. Chrome ("Do you want to replace the existing FILE in your Documents directory?" followed by saving error)
4. Snapseed (saves file but cant be located anywhere)
5. Autodesk Sketchbook (same as Snapseed)
I have tried factory reset and have reformatted my perfectly functioning external SD but the problem came back again. I have GSam battery monitor and Cerberus app installed as a system app and I use Link2SD to freeze some apps that are deemed safe by others. I use Tasker but very basic profiles only and also have Greenify but I greenify most app that I installed via Playstore only.
PLEASE HELP. I don't know what to do with this phone anymore. Anyone here who have encountered the same problem?

So the problem is in the stock ROM? Well now that is sad. I wanted my ROM to be as close to stock as possible but with root access
Anyway, If I were to flash the Alexendr Devbase rom, where in the steps should I start? Do I need to downgrade again to Kitkat (part1 or part2?) or I will start with the flashing of Mobile Odin (part 3)? Im sorry but im really really new to these.
Thank you for the quick reply.

You need to downgrade to Kitkat, start at the beginning. The Devbase rom is pretty much stock with the option to debloat.

Can I downgrade to Kitkat and begin step 1 just by flashing the Sammobile ROM? I believe the bootloader (OB6) and the CP file has already been flashed in the process, wouldn't that be a problem i.e. create bootlop/brick ? Have you tried it yourself?
Thank you again.

Just follow the guide from the beginning, the BL & CP will be over-written when you flash the stock KK ROM with PC Odin.

Fix Possible
For all those that have had issues regarding the SDCard and Permissions. All you need to do is after you have flashed the rom. Clear your Cache, Data and then Fix SD card permissions.
All of these options are present within the Recovery mode of NOTE 3. Hope fully this will fix the problem. Fortunately, I have not faced any such problems. I have retired from this project as I have previously mentioned that I no long have a Note 3 with Knox 0x0. I have moved over to Sony Xperia series and working with other developers to make mods for it.
Sincerely,
KINGMAK

I figured out what's causing the bug on the stock Polish ROM. It seems that wiping the cache partition in recovery causes the app permission to be messed up. I've tried reflashing twice and a couple of factory reset; I get the same result after going to recovery and wiping cache. Fixing SD Permission is not available in my recovery menu. I've switched to Alexndr DevBase OEA and so far so good. Thank you guys for helping out. Great great guide.

Hey , you can do this manual by Version deodex of " devbaseAlexander ?
