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.

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?

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!

Use Odin to flash the stock ROM image... It should restore stock recovery and everything
Dont worry, its not jb.
The only thing this update does is gives us keytones in the dialer again as far as i can see definitively.
It also reinstalls 11 bloat apps, att barcode scanner, facebook, and att family are 3 that i recall.
These all can be uninstalled easily by going to the playstore and conveniently, the 11 apps all need to be updated, or, if you prefer, do what i did and just unistall them.
Another app called Movies gets reinstalled, you can just uninstall it as well.
Two other possible changes that i cannot confirm because they might just be me, i havent benchmarked these...
The screen appears to be a tad darker when autobrightness is enabled.
The phone also appears to be slightly less sluggsih.
---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------
Two more small things my ram usage has decreased by about 50 mb on a fresh boot and it looks like there might be a small battery life improvement...
This update from AT&T increases the Baseband Version to: I717UCMB4
It also increases the Build Number to: IMM76D.UCMB4
No change in Android Version or Kernel Version.
Though not Jelly Bean an update to the Baseband Version is always welcome.
I seem to have a better LTE connection since the update, usually at my home LTE is weak and intermittent, I usually switch back and forth between 4G and LTE and this morning I am solidly on LTE.
Can someone post the full updated ROM here so I can flash it via Odin or cwm? Thanks in advance.

Or maybe a CWM flashable version of the update alone. Running deodexed UCLF6 with TWRP so it would not let me update.

UCMB4 now. thanks for the tip on removing TWRP
Would you mind posting the uclf6 link for Odin ??

It will wipe your data and internal SD, but put you back to stock UCLF6. Now I just need to wait for the update. When I check is says I'm up to date.
Same here.... it says I'm up to date..which is obviously not the case.
An update .zip would be nice, to get around all the failed update attempts...
Those who have managed to get the update loaded, are reporting a much improved LTE connection using the new baseband, and I have no doubt that the update contains new APN's and RIL's to go with the new baseband image....g

Just went into date and time settings, deselected auto date and time and auto time zone, manually set the date to 3/23, checked for updates and there it was. Successfully updated to UCMB4. Also noticed the ability to disable bloat apps. Don't remember having that feature before, not sure, but it's great to disable unwanted apps!

As far as I know, the GE doesn't currently support IR. That's only what I've read though. Haven't flashed and tested yet, just made a nand and backed up my apn's through tibu to try to get data working.

As Mikey advised, see if you can get into recovery, first, and see if you can flash a kernel, if not, then Odin is always an option.

You are either joking and that is very funny, or you are never permitted to flash anything ever again.
One or the other.
Might want to change the kernel link in the OP to the Verizon version. Flashing the tmo version on our phones doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Hi guys.
Here is the update.zip for MI5. I have taken the liberty to remove the firmware (bootloader,trustedzone,etc) from this just incase Samsung is trying to pull something. I'm posting two versions, one with the firmware and one without. Appyling this update.zip caused my phone to not boot with the updated kernel. I had to revert back to the MI3 kernel in order to boot up. I'm assuming this is due to either root, or me removing the firmwares. That is why i'm labeling this as dev.
NOTE: DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR PREVIOUS KERNEL AND CAN RESTORE.
NOTE2: You can safely flash the Update WITH previous kernel once it goes live.
Update with no firmwares:
MI5 Update NO bootloader
Update with firmwares:
MI5 Update FULL
Update with previous kernel:
COMING SOON
Thanks. If I don't see a new TAR this weekend I'll patch the modem so it can be flashed via Odin.

Can't wait to see how the mi5 setup works out. Cause as of right now, the call quality is horrible. I'm dropping 10+ calls a day. In areas my note2 would never drop a call.

flashed earlier. never had as good of a signal as I am getting now.
4glte connects stronger, and for further distances than ever before, lte to 3g handoff was flawless. and call quality was vastly improved.

When you are in TWRP, the "boot" check box, is the kernel. So, when backing up or restoring, as long as that box is checked, the kernel should be backed up (or restored).

We have been trying all day to get the update... It is not yet available for me or freeza.
if you would like too return to stock, and if you get the OTA. let us know...
we can walk you through pulling the files, and uploading, so either myself or freeza can make a flashable for everyone. I also spoke to Garwyn, and he doesn't have the OTA yet either. It also isn't posted on Sammobile, and it isn't available in Kies yet either...
Be patient. Obviously, we will be posting stock rom, odin restore, and update zips/. these things just take time.
I am having a problem getting with my MD5 number matching so I can't flash to anything. MD5#d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e Is what my phone shows as my MD5#.

Okay, I just installed hash DROID to see what you were doing. After starting the app select hash a file then navigate to where you saved the file on your Sdcard then select calculate hash. It will then run for a minute while it calculates.

My MD5 is from straight off my phone on Andys ME7 Rom. It appears i had a bad download when i flashed it and now my MD5# is jacked up. i am on mdk build as shown in the pics with loki and don't have recovery at this point(and cant make one). So i was gonna Odin back to orig MDK image and reroot and make a recovery again. Hopefully my MD5# will match than and I can get some of Old&Slow's rom goodness. I downloaded the stock MDK image and I put in odin mode and and use pda on it to flash this correct? And Phone for Modems? Sorry used to HTC Learning Samsung. Just want to make sure I do this right. Does everyone prefer CWM for recovery? Thanks looking forward to getting this done Thanks to all of you my phone is atleast working
I got it back to stock MDK build and firmware. It didn't wipe any of my data. I tried running motochopper exploit next and it just keeps saying waiting for Device. I have all the stuff that needs to be checked in Development and security but still nothing. I Odin'd the previous Kernel 2 times to make sure and tried again. Still can't get past Motochopper. I checked to see if I still had root and it says no. But yet if you use check the md5# it gives you that same one I had before. Any ideas?
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

The download links are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588661
Use the one named Galaxy Mega i9205 (meliusltexx) for Sprint I used the Odin Tar file and it worked perfectly. From there I flashed the Deodex ROM

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.

Most of them work, but you need to make a few changes to get data/lte working....

Does that mean changes on device(settings) or in code?

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!!

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
You'll learn with time. Let me know if you need any help. It feels gud teaching a teacher, lol!!!

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.
Carl
