Hi I'm wondering if you can help me- I tried to follow az_biker's instructions about rooting installing recovery and flashing ROMs. I'm on NC4, rooted with towelroot, installed busybox, safestrap 3.75, root checker and Chainfire's SuperSu. I was unable to flash or install baja rom. Then in step 8- and in Odin, downloading to target- getting the phone recognized in the hilighted 'ID-COM' and one line in the messages 'ADDED!'. When hitting 'AD' to find the MJE tar file, it was nowhere to be founnd. I even put the file on my desktop but for some reason Odin just dosent see it. I did finally install the Baja 4th of July version since this was a prior step and downloaded it which could only be found in the downloads. In Safestrap I found the zip file and did another wipe, hit back, advanced, wiped all but sd card then installed it. In the process it did say 'can't find MD5 file and continued and did finish- 'installed successfully'. When trying to reboot system, the phone goes dead. The only thing I can do at this point is remove the battery and boot into recovery but system will not boot. I'd gladly send a donation to anyone that could shed some light this and tell me what to do, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Were you on NC4 initially and rooted it or were you on MJE and upgraded to NC4? Are you unzipping the file before you try looking for it with Odin and are you using the AP section in Odin? Have you tried booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset?

Hi thanks for posting- I bought the phone and within 2 weeks the OTA for kitkat came out so I took it. The baseband is NC4 now and I dont know what it was before kk upgrade. Yes using the AP button in Odin. The title of the MJE tar file is this:
ALL_N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_2106277_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
This file does not seem to be zipped up and it has a blank piece of paper for an icon. .
I now see where the md5 came from. I cannot do anything but remove battery and put back in then it only boots into safestrap. Another mistake I made was not making a backup of the stock rom. Any suggestions?

You can't use the MJE tar file since you took the OTA, you would need the NC4 full tar file. You should be able to boot into download mode from SS or by turning the device off and holding down Home, then Volume down, then Power. You can try doing a factory reset in the stock recovery by holding down Home, Volume up and Power.

Hi again I am just reading what you your reply was after I already inserted on downloaded the MJE. So at this point I should boot into stock recovery. How would I remove the MJE tar file?. I can find the NC4 tar then run Odin again with this file?

If you haven't installed theh MJE file, or actually even if you have, just boot back into download mode and flash the NC4 file in Odin.

Thank you I am downloading it as we speak. Will I be able to boot up in baja rom or only stock?. Notorious 3 had told me originally "yes you can install the NC2 tar as these instruction are specifically for users who are on NC4 OTA". Doe he mean to install custom roms or can I install or flash custom roms with the full NC4 tar?. Ireally appreciate your help-

Once you boot into the stock NC4 ROM root it with TowelRoot, install SU, BusyBox and SS 3.75. Boot into SS and install BAJA ROM then before rebooting go into download mode through SS and flash the file in the link below.

I really do appreciate it, I ended up flashing the firmware file through Odin and installing that way then pulling the battery and it booted into baja but weather, email, google etc. all stopped working errors constantly. Any idea how to fix?. I take it you're a developer? Anyway, I'm TJ

Did you wipe data, cache and dalvik before installing Baja? I'm not a developer, I just enjoy messing around with my devices and I like helping people out when I can.

You don't need to redownload it. You should wipe everything but the Micro SDcard whenever you install a new ROM. You won't have the errors once you wipe everything and install the ROM again.

Hi all,
I rooted my smg900f two days ago and flashed a recovery, everything went fine, I tried a couple of custom rom and at some point I noticed that I didn't have root access anymore (checked with root checker). I launched towelroot again, and now it says that my device is not supported yet. Does anybody encountered the same issue ?

I have clockwork recovery, I had Omega ROM running on my phone (maybe at this moment I already lost root but I only noticed it after), I tried to flash this mod, it didn't work so after a few tries I full wiped my phone and insalled Omega 8.0 again. Then I noticed I lost root access when trying to open some apps.
I also flashed the bootloader for SMG900F featured in the Omega rom thread
That's about it

Then i suggest you flash a stock rom, factory reset and root/flash custom recovery from scratch. Its seems some files are messed up that prevents you to root. Backup important files to the pc/sdcard first. That is what i would do at least

Good luck mate. After the flash and factory reset flash a custom recovery and then the superSU.zip and you`re rooted.

There should be a folder on the sdcard named Clockworkmod with the backup, save it to the sdcard before you factory reset. No a backup can`t be flashed with Odin, only in recovery

Did you flash a stock rom with Odin or flash a custom rom in 3rd recovery? Just do a data factory reset in recovery, pull the battery and wait 20 seconds and flash a stock rom with Odin.

You are only flashing a kernel...not a full 4.4.2 original image.
And that's why you're stock on the boot logo.

take the battery out wait 5-10 secs and enter to download mode to avoid modem issues.
its not recomendable but if you have a backup of a pit file for your phone select it and thick re-partition, this is dangerous but may help with bootloop only if flashing the firmware with no repartition work, repartition with out a pit file may brick your device.

Thank you for the reply
I will give it a try and let you know the results.
One more noob question..
I did a back up of my touchwiz before converting to CM.
And i got the back up file as normal file folder instead a zip file.
I wonder if there is a way to restore it.
I already tried zipping it and restoring from philz recovery...but it says bad file.

you´re welcome.
did you do the backup from philz recovery? i never did a backup from recovery, only with titanium, so i really dont know, but to restore a backup needs to be done from the same source that the backup was created. for the screen shots looks like a CWM recovery backup good luck.

And i was able to restore it via the recovery under restore oiption.
but after the first samsung screen (samsung galaxy s4) and a blue T logo, it gets struck on the third screen with only samsung written on it with a solid blue led.
(( what the heck am i doing wrong.
Anyway i flashed the full image with odin..(taken from your link).
And back to touchwiz again.
Thanks a lot.
One more thing is, it changed my baseband version a bit.

Sorry to bother you again.
But i am facing a new kinda problem now with custom recoveries.
After flashing NEE-I9506XXUCNJ1-20141114075501 yesterday it got auto updated to 5.0.1 lollipop .
Now i am stuck with stock recovery.
Tried to flash philz 6.x.x.x as before with odin. The odin process completes itself and reboots the phone.
But when i try to get into recovery still its booting in stock recovery.
Any solution on how can i flash custom recovery on this ?
Additional info
Baseband version : I9506XXUDOA6
bUILD NUMBER : LRX22C. I9506XXUDOA6
Flash your Favorite Custom Recovery with Odin 3.xx and put it to AP. Check that Auto Reboot isn't marked. After successful flashing your Phone won't to reboot. USB Cable out and put your Battery out and wait few seconds. Put your Battery in and reboot it to Recovery. The Stock Recovery can't now overwrite the Custom Recovery.

in lollipop i used TWRP recovery (TWRP_2.8.4.0_ks01lte_20150207.tar.md5)https://www.mediafire.com/folder/p3rwwfm7xn76x/TWRP flashed with odin 1.85 no problems.
but after rooting with cf autoroot http://download.chainfire.eu/502/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ks01lte-ks01ltexx-gti9506.zip( extract and flash with odin in pda) because cf autorrot flash stock recovery after rooting.
Important after rooting flash immediately custom recovery, if you boot in stock recovery after root all apps will force close and you will need to wipe data (stock recovery wipe data will delete internal memory as well), so do not boot in stock recovery.

but after rooting with cf autoroot http://download.chainfire.eu/502/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ks01lte-ks01ltexx-gti9506.zip( extract and flash with odin in pda) because cf autorrot flash stock recovery after rooting.
Important after rooting flash immediately custom recovery, if you boot in stock recovery after root all apps will force close and you will need to wipe data (stock recovery wipe data will delete internal memory as well), so do not boot in stock recovery.

you have to flash an ni2 kernel first i suggest just downloading the application for it just search ni2 kernel flasher apk
That's all I have to do?
I don't have to flash stock kernel before I get out if safe strap?
splash screen

I appreciate the help. I just want to make sure i do it correct the first time.
I had someone tell me " You need to flash the NI2 kernel first, then reboot. This should get you into SS. Look for NI2flasher.apk
You will also need to flash your build kernel (OG5) BEFORE you exit SS."
Is this the correct way or just flash like you said ..?
thanks again

I mean they're the same way mine is just the first part but the stock kernel one
Here's what you do flash the NI2 kernel either by the app or in download mode with Odin or using flashfire then it should restart and you click the recovery button and it goes into safestrap then you flash what you want And flash the og5 kernel and restart

Yes you flash NI2 then you do whatever you wanted to do in safestrap usually I flash Roms and stuff that's why I said that but you don't have to then when you're done you flash the OG5 kernel to be able to use the phone again and yeah if you flash a different ROM you'll lose the stock ROM but you can always just flash it back if you don't like that ROM or you can keep it if you like it its all up to you and may you're fine

you havent done anything wrong the only time the safestrap screen comes up is when you flash that NI2 kernal safestrap doesnt work on any of the lollipop kernels :/

yes you can make a backup in it and yes you have to flash the ni2 to get to the ss and yes you can use a backup you made from it i believe ive never used the backup function and you should always be able to get the splash screen to come up if you wind up hardbricking your phone some how all you should have to do is flash the boot.img and that should fix it then flash the ni2 kernel and go into it but ive never hardbricked it and yes you are able to install a custom rom using SS all you have to do is go to the install tab in it and install whatever you wanna install and and flash the regular kernel and youre good to go

Hey so my question is I can get into safe strap via app on my rom but in the tutorials, I see people being able to do it via splash, why does my splash screen not show up like the rest? My specs are the same as him except I am using ss 5.01
---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------
I want to be able to instantly boot into it when my rom is corrupt from improper flashing so I can easily restore and try again properly

As far as I know you can't do that but if your rom or something is messed up all you have to do is boot into download mode and flash an ni2 kernel and it'll pop up
Hi,
I have been using RR for quite a while now, but lately I am having several troubles and I'd like to go back to the stock version, now that MM is available on S5 officially.
Is it possible? What is the best way to do so? Can I use TWRP to update the rom instead of odin?

Yes it's possible, just download your official stock rom from sammobile, then extract the tar.md5 file from the zip and flash via odin. 1 point I will say is do a factory reset via twrp first as it's a clean fresh start. Once phone is done reboot to recovery and do another factory reset vis stock recovery. Then reboot and enjoy. I personally went backwards and went back to kk

thanks, why is it Odin needed? Cannot be flashed like another rom using TWRP?
Also, I need to register to sammobile, I guess there is not alternative, right?

Because it's the official software and unmodified Samsung firmwares must be flash via odin. Plus it's the safest way to get stock back. If u can find a stock MM rom that's already been tweaked and made into a zip u can but modems and bootloader's (which come in official firmwares) can only be flashed via odin. It'll take around 30-50 mind to download on pc, are you wanting unbranded UK firmware? If so give me 20 mind to upload it

Thanks, I don't remember much since the last time I used odin. I will look up for the instruction. I have just another question, I guess in doing so I will loose the TWRP boot. Is that right? If so, how am I supposed to backup and restore the data?

Do a backup first and store on ext sd card, no if card do backup and move to pc, then once flashed stock just re-root and flash twrp again and then u can restore your backup.

I installed the rom/firmware G900FXXS1CPHW_OXA1CPE1_BTU_UK_6.0.1 and I am now stuck in the bootloop...I guess I am not using the right firmware. Any help? (UK Samsung Galaxy S5)
edit: fixed, I forgot to disable the re-partion option on Odin
