I do not own this phone.
This thread will provide custom recovery ( CWM/TWRP ) flashable zip files of the stock frmware without knox software. This way you need not upgrade using OTA and hence will be able to move between stock and custom firmware if need to.
If you use OTA to upgrade to the latest firmware, your bootloader will be upgraded to facilitate knox. Once updated there is no going back. The roms in this thread will help you overcome this issue.
The only prerequisite is that you are not already running a knox enabled bootloader. You can find this out by going into download mode and checking if knox entries are shown in bootloader screen.
You will have the following advantages.
Bootloader is not touched, hence any compatible rom can be flashed, including custom roms
Only Samsung knox files are removed
Root & Busybox
Stock kernel
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Procedure
Download the Odin version of Philz recovery or my custom twrp recovery and flash.
Reboot to recovery first else custom recovery will be replaced by stock recovery.
Flash the ROM zip file
Reboot and Njoy...
As an additional step, you can flash the modem that comes with the ROM. The procedure to flash the modem is given below.
Use Odin v3.04
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
Downloads
All files can be downloaded from my Mega folder. Choose the mega link and select SPH-L600 STOCK FIRMWARE folder. MD5 hash values are available in a separate file inside the folder.

for some reason my wifi has stopped working, whenever I try to turn it on , it immediately goes back off. Any suggestions?
Happened to me first time around after I had flashed the modem. I wasnt able to get the rom to flash in stock recovery. Once I flashed Philz recovery then the deodex rom all was good to go

Did this last night all went well. Grabbed the Philz and then flashed the stock rom, but didn't flash the modem.
@Silesh.Nair Thanks so much for the work and resources. Are the roms in your Mega folder compatible with this device? So very grateful that some development is finally occurring for the Sprint variant.

Well now that I'm over being a wise guy, I think what I'm reading is that with this apk you can do outbound calls and texts, just not on LTE. Is that correct? And is the phone apk rom specific? Like so many others, I'm guessing, I'm really itching to ditch the Sprint stock rom. But wait... just this second for the umpteenth time my phone is telling me that I have left the network with roaming turned off (sitting in my living room, smack dab in the middle of an LTE coverage area.) This is killing me!! Haha!!
Carl
You shouldn't have this problem on a stock ROM. I suggest you flash the modem that came with the ROM. Its available as a separate Odin flashable tar file.

Yeah that's what I think. I downloaded it the other day so I'll do that this morning. As an aside, I really need to dig in and learn how to do this (cook/build,) but I'm a school teacher with almost no time to devote to my own education in this regard. I have been looking around at some of the guides but there is some much information that I'm not really sure where to start (suggestions?). I tend to be a bit obsessive/compulsive when it comes to technology, so much so that my friends and family often start to wonder "what happened to me." I imagine others can relate. On spring break this week; time to play.
Thank you.
Carl

Very funny, Mr.Nair. And I'm an English teacher to boot! I would relish having someone with experience to mentor me. Just to show you how much teachers look forward to their breaks(read mental exhaustion,) I discovered today that after flashing a custom recovery and rooting this little Sprint demon the other day, I had NOT flashed the firmware you uploaded. Can't believe I didn't do that. This came to light after I flashed the CM ROM for I9205 (I know, NOT recommended, but I did it for kicks.) Your CM build installed beautifully, and I was able to connect to WiFi, but of course I didn't have a cell data connection. I flashed the L600 modem in Odin a couple times on top of CM and applied various settings using the phone apk moosiemooses linked and eventually did get a mobile data connection, but I couldn't make it persistent. I wound up restoring the nandroid I made the other day; this is when I discovered that I hadn't flashed the firmware version in your Mega folder. So I did that after lunch today, flashed the modem twice and after a bit of fiddling all seems to be working well. I'm fairly new to this carrier and the network seems a bit finicky, but that's just my opinion. I spent most of the day doing this, and I think I learned something in the process, just not clear about what that is exactly.<g>
Thanks.

We can't do custom roms without a custom recovery (cmw or twrp). I don't think custom recoveries are available yet. Unless you know something I don't (and that's very possible since I don't know much - lol).

Do you have a metro pcs mega? And if so, did you odin flash twrp on your phone?
I want to be sure before I try because I bricked my metro pcs mega the day I bought it and never got it back working. I had to go back to MetroPCS and get another one. I do not plan on bricking the one I have now. I don't want to take a chance until I know I can recover it from a soft brick.
Without having a firmware that can be flashed in odin, I'm scared to try anything.

Yes I have the Mega from Metro Pcs. That's why posted the link to the other thread.
Yeah, I rooted and and installed the recovery than was like hmm probably shouldn't have done that with out there being a firmware release but oh well. I'm wild that way.
I instilled it through Odin. the only file from that link I used was this one.. http://goo.gl/J5JAH0
Tested Working 100%
I downloaded the attached file, put phone into download mode and flashed the recovery via odin 307. I fully booted the phone and then shut it off to reboot into recovery which is now replaced with TWRP.
Now to see if I can find a lighter ROM something like extremesperia. I haven't seen any multi-carrier roms for this phone so I am not sure what will work.
I also used the backup feature and was able to backup the entire phone.

any of the gsm roms are likely to work on the metro mega, the CM 11 build definitely will as it works on the canadian mega that i have which has all the same specs as the metro mega. the only reason to get the canadian mega in the past was because it was unlocked without a locked bootloader.

I wouldn't go that far tbh...I'd be somewhat cautious as at least on my note 2...there are several variants and all have the same hardware, but run into issues flashing roms incompatible to your specific device. It's kinda guess and check as I've seen i9200 which is the 3g mega intl have a few minor apk issues vs i9205 lte on my rom alone, much less larger issues like framework and data structures or kernel variances between intl and carrier based. Just heads up from someone who builds for several different devices and hardware configs. When it comes to carriers sometimes it's hard telling what the hell they're doing lol.
One thing major is for carrier based devices of any kind, the biggest thing is the modem...If you flash an intl you may lose the carrier frequency.

I've test Most of the ROM's out there and havent had issues my self. Some people say they can't get lte to stick.
Hi folks. I have a USCellular Tab 10.1 LTE (which identifies itself as a p4vzw and should work fine with VZW ROMs)
Per the instructions in this XDA message posting I have installed CM10.1 + GAPPS
The message says I need to flash this kernel here. How do I do that? The webpage linked shows the source code, but I'm lost with what to do!
I have -no- LTE/CDMA radio and have a message which shows "unknown baseband" - again, supposedly the
I originally flashed from the FB01 firmware which is supposedly what I am supposed to use - thus, the Verizon baseband SHOULD allow me to connect.
Any thoughts?
I need to:
Get help to flash that kernel
get help getting the radio working
(My original baseband information was as follows: CDMA i905.03 V.FB04 //////// LTE: SCH-i905.FB01
Not sure about the radio, but you don't have to flash that kernel. It is already packed into the ROM.

Well I just flashed a jellybean 4.1.2 ROM and it is working perfect. But I still want kitkat. I don't remember the name of the one I tried to flash. My main question is when I flash jb, ICS, or kitkat. Do they all just work after flash or do I need some kinda different boot thing like my HTC needed? Last thing is I could not find a flashable cwm recovery through Odin. Do I have to flash it with an app through the phone? PS: If it is as easy to flash things to this phone as easy as I think that would be awesome. So far I am LOVING THIS THING. Samsung might be my new favorite brand.. I had to do so many things to my HTC evo 3D just for custom kernels to be on it. Thanks for any help I get.

Update: Flashed cwm non touch recovery through the app. And I also flashed the candy shop kitkat 4.4.2 ROM, upon boot the WiFi would not work so I am back on the jb 4.1.2 ROM and I am now downloading hellybean jb 4.3 now. I wiped the data before I installed the kitkat ROM and there is no option in recovery to wipe the system so I guess every ROM I install it will overwrite which is kinda weird. I will try to flash the touch version of cwm later.. The one on the forum you gave me says access denied on my phone when I try to download the latest one. But It did work on my pc so I'll get it from there..

Glad your researching!
I also recommend reading the rom descriptions, and instructions. Some builders will clue you in as to which recovery to use, and what gapps need flashed.
I also recommend skimming thru the posts to see what issues other users may have had. They might of given you a clue as to why the Wi-Fi didn't work.

Evening folks! Thanks to an anonymous source we present to the community... the NE5 Stock tarball!
Main improvement on this build: Wi-fi calling has been enabled.
This tarball is verified to be a full restore. (Thanks @CNexus!)
It means flashing this will result in a data wipe.
I'll try to get a nodata version put together by the weekend.
Download Location:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S5 (Sprint) (SM-G900P)/Stock ROMs/NE5
Instructions:
Download Odin
Download the tarball and extract from 7z file.
Flash in PDA slot in Odin
Profit!
The file comes from an anonymous source but has been verified before posting.
One clicks may not be possible unless this can be flashed in an older version of Odin.
It could be it may just need the old trick of unpacking and repacking - again, hoping to have more time soon to address this.
Enjoy!
Gonna give it a try!
Worked for me. I flash with Odin, got a FAIL! message but the phone booted into NE5 without a problem.
@garwynn
Full restore...cache commands:
Code:
--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip
--carry_out=csc_factory
--wipe_data
For those who flashed it, notice any changes? I'm still on the NCB stock ROM rooted with some tweaks. I'm pretty sure I should wipe everything before I flash the stock tar NE5 right?

The tar wipes everything already so you would be good. I just got an S5 yesterday so I didn't have a lot of time to play with it to tell the differences. I do know that wifi calling is added. The only other issue I was having was with LTE. I could not get a reliable LTE signal at home. And I could only connect at work if I turned on Connection Optimizer. The first thing I tried was disabling that to see if I could get LTE at work and it connected immediately. I won't know if it improved anything at home until later on this afternoon.

Thank you. Yeah I swore I wasn't going to purchase the S5 mainly because of the lack of 32GB internal storage but also because I didn't feel like it was a big enough jump from the S4. But my daughter has been begging me for a new phone for months and I finally broke down :laugh: She was still running my old S2 and never asks for anything so I had to.
Download is going REALLY slow for me :/ thanks for this though!
PS- What's the MD5?

MD5 is inserted into the tar - so if you get an error on MD5 checksum let me know please.

Everything went well on flashing (via Odin) NE5. However, I still have a software/baseband of ND2 and a build of NE5. Am I good with this or should I ensure that I need those two showing ND2 changed?

+1 same for me.. Was hoping this would update everything.. So is the only way update baseband to odin back to ND2 stock and wait for OTA update to NE5? Thanks!
EDIT: Decided to wipe data/reset in stock recovery and then ran this thru odin a 2nd time and now everything is showing NE5 this time.. Thanks guys!

Sent to me? If so, I haven't gotten it.
Clean flash. On first boot it got to Google log in screen, maps fc'd and it let me log in to Google, but on accepting my password went to this and hung there until I had to restore backup. I'm at work and kind of jump the gun, will test more when home.

Edit: I really should have rebooted to see what happened, work got in the way. Try again later

thx...sounds like the same results @benny3 had, not sure if this is due to s-on or firmware
@OMJ it booted fine for me on wipe and clean flash. Running now no issues yet, and no FC like the other.

INMAN85 just to be clear...you're s-on, with the same firmware from stock retail M9? also, which specific recovery are u using? thx
My clean flash didn't work as you know J. I did a dirty flash after a nand restore and it's running great. I noticed I am able to write to the extsd now for backups. Will continue to test. I am on firmware 1.32.651.17. Using TWRP 2.8.6.3 from Captain. With the beta SU v2.48.
I’m unlocked with TWRP, can test any time!
One thing I noticed with the dirty flash, when usb debugging is on, my pc doesn't see the phone. With it off, I can transfer files. It does charge either way.

Tried another clean install this time from the internal storage. Still had the same problem during setup. Seems setup gets interrupted and restarts setup again. It's a continuous loop. Almost like a bootloop with out the rebooting. You can tell processes are running in the back ground. Because when you turn off the display and back on again, in lock screen I am getting emails and apps are updating text are coming threw and voice mail.

Would you kindly post a link to the link got 2.8.6.3.. I believe the issues are due to an old version of twrp recovery.
rom tesing
i'm down. i have twrp. i rendered my m9 useless so i'll flash away. i don't have a valid backup to restore to as i didn't make one before flashing a UK rom by mistake.

This might not help you just yet. It won't complete setup to bootup normally. Unless OMJ would link you to a completely stock rom.

I'm in the same boat. A completely stock rom would be wonderful. My backup somehow got corrupted and fails to restore.
