First off I would like to please ask everyone to thank the anonymous donor for this file because we wouldn't be seeing it today without them.
For all those that have been waiting, it's not the official release - but it is stable enough for daily driver use.
I haven't had much time to test this but the only issue I had with it was flashing it.
If it gets stuck trying to get to recovery pull the battery and flash again.
I am marking this a full restore because it looks like it wiped data, including pictures. YMMV.
At the moment I'm only putting the original file up.
I'll try to get an Odin one-click and a nodata version up later.
Link to NI3 folder:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S5 (Sprint) (SM-G900P)/Stock ROMs/NI3
Steps:
1) Download EXE file, double-click to extract.
2) Put the phone in download mode.
If you've never done this before, easiest way is to shut the phone down completely.
Then hold Vol Down + Power until you see a warning screen. Press up to proceed.
3) Open Odin (I used 3.07), place in PDA slot and flash.
4) Profit!
Please feel free to leave feedback on the flash and ROM but please keep in mind I have no special contact to relay that feedback.
Do me a favor please - if you're going to reply don't clutter my thread with spam. Thank you.

There is a problem with the screen not turning off when making a call. Other than that it seems smooth so far. Wifi calling is only new feature that i have tested, and it seems to work fine.
You cant root with towelroot you have to use cf-autoroot which trips knox. Since i had tripped it already WTF not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51421067&postcount=2

I have that screen on while on a call problem with my not yet rooted S5 on NE5 from time to time. That one may not be new. I wonder if its possibly a hardware issue?

I would also like to know this, I just downloaded it but dont want to attempt to try it and not have a phone until I can get back to my place later
Finally getting around to deodexing and rooting this build.
Wish me luck.
If anyone has it ready to go and is just going through testing, let me know so I don't spend hours getting it ready.
Has anyone tried to go back to ne5 after update?

I now have a bootable odexed version. I probably wont do deodexed right away, its not worth the extra effort. Going to try getting one done that is rooted with busybox to post later.
Edit: And it seems to be fine with the NE5 modem too so no worries there.
I'm on my way home I may deodex it. Will post back if I do.
Oh great, I was just getting my rom ready to release an update, lol. Thanks for working on this guys.

All you have to do is add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop file and then you can remove or freeze the entitlement check app if you want to. Sprint model requires ro.mot.tether_dun_required to change from 1 to 0.
For people who don't want to mess with modifying their build.prop file or use xposed. I made an app which requires Root, that will run a setprop command to bypass the check until you reboot. If you want it to last after a reboot you can select apply of boot to run the command after every reboot. This was tested and confirmed by cvhovey thanks to him for testing it for me, since I have free tethering. This is my first app so I hope you Enjoy it! I want to say thanks to jcase's slapmymoto and the developer of adaway, I used their github sources as references when I couldn't get something working. Also androidicons for the icon template, and Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting setpropex working on KitKat.

Hey guys, I just wanted to update and say it won't boot on the Verizon dev edition like the T-mobile rom will. It freezes for me on the Moto Earth boot animation. Noo! Well darn, I was wanting to try the sprint rom to see if I could get google wallet tap to pay working on my vzw dev phone since no one has figured out how to make tap to pay work on the non-sprint variants.
I booted the deodex version just fine on my vzw Dev edition. I wiped my data and wiped cached before flashing. I didn't try g wallet

YES!!!! It worked!!! LOL. Anyway, have you/anyone noticed anything when trying to alter the stock boot.img? Seems like anything I tried (not a whole bunch really) with the kernel/boot.img made it non-bootable? Pretty much if it hits the bootloader unlocked screen and doesn't vibrate.....its a no go? Wondering if theres some type of checksum for the boot.img? Not too sure about wallet ATM. Don't really use it, and this is based off the OTA so....I'd assume it should be fine? I remember some stuff way back on this, may have to step back and see if there's something to utilize. This isn't my first rodeo.....but it's the first one I've entered.:laugh:

Yeah I wipe three times before flashing and I wiped cache and dalvik again before booting. I wonder what the issue is. I downloaded the odex and not deodex but I don't see it being the difference between booting and freezing. Hmm. I'm back on the T-Mobile rom now. I'll have to try again with the deodex tomorrow

Was just using the kitchen tool. Anytime I touched the boot.img it wouldn't boot up..... Or it would not vibrate at the splash screen, boot up, but not "see" user touches on the screen. Acted like the digitizer was totally off. Something I noticed is if it vibrates at the splash, it was good. No vibrate, definitely something would be wrong. Going to take my time with it next week.

I recommend wiping system and data too and trying. Just make a backup first. And/or try using your normal boot.img instead of the one in the zip.

i take it then you arent packing the Device tree file to the boot.img.
http://pastebin.com/tSGxTmYq save this script, run it against stock boot.img. youll get a DTB.img, extract your boot.img, edit what you want in ramdisk or swap zimages. then use a modified mkbootimg to include the dtb file as part of it all

I got the sprint deodex rom booting on my vzw dev edition doing like you said. But sadly I found google wallet would not work. It just sat saying "finishing up a few things." So I guess unfortunately there is a hardware issue preventing wallet from working on the non-sprint variants. That sucks!!!
I don't understand why but I noticed between the t-mobile, verizon, and sprint roms that the signal bars are slightly different on every one. Sprint's seems to be stretched out a little more and have an extra bar or two. I hate all of them though because the grey has some funky white lines through it where the separations are instead of being solid grey. I don't know what was wrong with the stock android signal bars that none of the carriers wanted them

Wow, XD, as if the one sentence wasn't bad enough, Ill just do my response in all caps YOU COULD HAVE LEARNED THAT FROM READING ONE OF ABOUT 20 THREADS ON THIS SITE.
If you'd like help, please be concise. you gave us no info other than IT NO WORKING!?!?!?
This belongs in the Sprint Note Edge N915P device specific forums, which there is none, so I'm putting it here so not to entice other device users to flash this file. If you don't have this specific device, DO NOT FLASH!!!
This mod is ONLY for the Lollipop builds as stated in the title. Do NOT flash if you are on a KitKat rom.
I don't own the Sprint Galaxy Note Edge, I own the regular Sprint Galaxy Note 4. I figured you all might want to have this option for your rare phones with little development. This is a permanent solution for unlocking the native hotspot as well as USB tether feature. it will not be overwritten by prl or profile updates wether pushed automatically by Sprint or done by the user.
Instructions: You MUST have root. No Exceptions.
[for deodexed Lollipop 5.01 N915PVPU2BOC8 / N915PSPT2BOC8 roms ONLY]
Flash the zip from the link below in recovery and reboot system. No need to wipe anything. When the phone reboots it may take up to 15 minutes for the phone to optimize the system again. In this case just let the phone sit and once it finishes the screen will go off. You will now have working hotspot as well as usb tether feature.
[for factory stock rooted odexed roms, VERY IMPORTANT]
Download the hotspot mod zip file and put it on your internal or external storage.
BEFORE flashing the hotspot mod you MUST first use a root file explorer to delete "services.odex" file located in system/framework/arm folder. (The system will likely freeze or auto reboot... in this case, pull the battery and reinsert it). Then IMMEDIATELY power off your phone. Next reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvic-cache. Last, flash the hotspot mod zip file and reboot system. Reboot will take several minute while the system optimizes (apx. 15 mins) so don't panic. When the screen finally turns off the optimization is finished.
Done!
If you find this mod useful, please press that THANKS button!!! Enjoy!!!
Deodexed_N915PSPT2BOC8_N915PVPU2BOC8_Hotspot Mod
Much appreciated. I've been waiting for this! Now hopefully someone will leak a lollipop rom for us. Samsung keeps delaying the OTA.

Yeah thanks mucho
I flashed in recovery and it immediately flashed said it was done. I rebooted no hotspot. Any other ideas what I may have done wrong? To the OP,I bit the bullet and bought the Edge. I was worried Samsung would eliminate the sd card in the Note 5

Instructions:
[for deodexed roms]
Flash the zip from the link below in recovery and reboot system. No need to wipe anything. When the phone reboots go take a nap, drink a beer or eat six tacos because it "might" take up to 15 minutes for the phone to optimize the system again. In this case just let the phone sit and once it finishes the screen will go off. You will now have working hotspot as well as usb tether feature.
[for odexed roms, VERY IMPORTANT]
After flashing this mod and once the phone boots, you must immediately remove the "services.odex" file located in system/framework/arm. Use Root Explorer (my personal favorite) or similar root file browser and delete services.odex and reboot.

This sent me into a battery-pulling bootloop as well. I flashed SprNoteEdgeDeodexedStockNoKnoxNK1.zip as noted in the other thread. I'd give you a link to find it, except, well, given the massive flow of ROMs, tweaks, mods, themes, kernels, et cetera, for this phone, I think you'll do just fine on your own...
However, once I did, all was back to normal, except, there is no "services.odex" file located in system/framework/arm. There isn't even a /arm folder.
And the hotspot works just fine.
If one of you could zip up a stock services.jar and it's odex file i will redo the mod. I need the files from the very latest build. PM me the link whomever uploads it. Thanks in advance.

Another member has already uploaded the files. I'll get it done and uploaded today. Look for an updated link in the OP later today.
Edit: The OP has been updated with a new build of the hotspot mod. So download it again and give the new version a try. The instructions will be exactly the same. This mod is deodexed. Stock odexed rom users MUST manually delete the services.odex file located in system/framework/art folder immediately after flashing this mod!!! You can add the hotspot toggle using SQLite editor or by flashing a rom which the dev included the extra toggles. Google or search here on XDA for those instructions.

Make sure you wait at least 15 minutes and the phone may sit at tghe yellow sprint spark screen while the system re-optimizes. If it doesn't finish booting after waiting 15 minutes then pull battery and reboot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvic cache and reboot system again. Wait another 15 minutes and see if it will boot.
Is this ^^^^^^ working?

it should if you follow my instructions. I don't own this device so I can't test it. Nobody has posted to confirm they got it working. But I can say that if you follow the instructions in the Op you should have no problems. I've done this mod many times on different devices including the regular Note 4. Post your results so others can know.

Going to flash. I made a back up. I'm on the new stock lollipop that I rooted. Is stock odexed or deodexed? I want to make sure I follow your instructions to the letter.
Thank you VERY MUCH for helping us lonely edge users.
after a long wait for the firmware to be released of the S4 running OH7 , it still has not been released. However i decided to make it myself and now we finally have it. I have tested it on my S4 that came with OH7 build originally. So here you go guys, Firmware containing OH7 running lollipop 5.0.1 with stock kernel 3.4 of mon Sep. 7 2015.
little guide to help you install the firmware if you need it.
you will find the firmware link below that i have uploaded and as for odin you can just google it. now im sure you can use other versions of odin but always safest to be up-to-date.
you will need: OH7 firmware file (Download link at the bottom), odin 3.10.7, WinRar and USB data cable
steps:
1. put phone into download mode by holding the home+vol up+power keys at the same time.
2. plug your phone into your PC (be sure drivers for the phone are installed correctly)
3. open up your handy tool of Odin
4. open up the firmware file you have downloaded in Winrar and extract it, you will then be given an MD5 File containing the firmware
5. click on "AP" in odin and browse for the file (odin might not respond after that but be patient, it will)
6. after the program responds, double check that F. Reset time and Auto Reboot are the ONLY ones ticked/checked
7.Go ahead and hit start and sit back for a few minutes and let odin do its thing
8. after all goes well and in the top box says "PASS!" then your phone will reboot and be good as new.
Just a heads up that this firmware is meant and made for the prepaid variant of the Verizon S4. I wouldnt recommend trying it on the postpaid S4 for the postpaid firmware has negative effects on the prepaid variant so id assume it have the same outcome on postpaid variant. Also im not responsible like anyone else out there if you brick your phone by not following the steps correctly or flashing it incorrectly in some way. Just a disclaimer that everyone puts out on here. hope this helps everyone. enjoy!
If the link becomes a broken link, let me know and i will update. i just need to move the file from time to time due to high data traffic

now that i have released the stock firmware of OH7, i am trying to Deodex this also but keep getting failed start ups. i used LBD 2.5 to try an deodex and followed the guide but i hear start up sound not even a second and it stops and it dont show the verizon logo. i used flashfire to flash the deodexed files. so that being said, could some actual dev, deodex this firmware for i cannot? id really appreciate it and id share the deodexed firmware on the thread as well with of course giving proper credit to whomever can deodex it. thanks!

This needs to be maken into a rom first as well before deodexed but i can do both actually if you don't know how to build a rom.

Well if you could do both, I'd really appreciate it. I can't even begin to understand how to extract an md5. So confusing. Plus gotta get it to work with flash fire. I tried other roms with flashfire and kept getting system not responding. So I always had to Odin back to stock and on the custom rom I never get even a boot animation. So I'm not sure what's up with it

Flash fire is horrible. Use v24 seems to be the best atm. I can do both. In the middle of mod'ing the s5 rom I made. But after I build it I would have you test it 1st before deodexing as you want to make sure it boots 1st before moving on.

I think I tried your rom before. Your username was on a rom that I tried. It was non mdk which was said to use. I used flashfire beings I can't have safestrap on lollipop. It's all I could use to flash things thanks to a locked bootloader. But I'll try your suggestion and I can surely test what you put out for the s4. Just need an idea of what to use to flash things. And you talking version 24 of flashfire? Cause I already use that an got those outcomes. Also if it makes it any easier on you, could you just rebuild your ultranote5 rom for the prepaid variant? Whichever is easier for you. I loved the feature list that you had for it though I couldn't get it to get past the boot screen cause it would like freeze at the animation but at the same time there wasn't even an animation. Just a quick Samsung sound that doesn't even finish. Wish I knew more about rom development but it can get get complex I think.

Not sure if it's still an issue or not, but I had similar problems before. Flashfire didn't seem to be finishing backups or flashes. I think I was using v18 or 19. Setting the screen timeout to 10 minutes fixed it, no problems after that and I just set it back when I'm done.

My screen never shut off when I used flashfire. So I'm not sure. Could be something in flashfire being it was made for the s4. Not the prepaid variant. So maybe some code in it is different in the postpaid. Who knows

Ah, not sure about that. I'm pretty sure my screen would shut off and then reboot shortly afterward as if it finished properly. I also just remembered that flashfire used to rearrange the order that the operations were added and would move the wipe toward the bottom of the list, usually after the flash. I would double check that the order is correct before starting if you haven't already. Those two were the only problems I had. Hope those tips help in some way.

Well far as I know I'm using the up to date version which is .24. I haven't had the screen off issue or the rearranging problem. Flashfire showed what it was doing and what order it did it in. Everytime I used it, if the screen went black, it would say rebooting...after all was finished. So maybe the version you had was just buggy which the dev did say its a work in progress. Stuff like that, I'd be surprised if they got it to work perfectly with no bugs

I am more then willing to test any roms out as well. My new Galaxy S4 prepaid is only for tethering on my unlimited data, so I need a rom that I can install Xposed Framework on. Any rom that comes out and needs testing for OH7 based phones, I am onboard with.

Well I am looking to install xposed as well but we gotta wait for the dev to have free time to rebuild a rom to the oh7. Well at least he has two people willing to test now for him. How did you get unlimited data with Verizon? They so stingy with data
Sorry been busy. Will build it tonight. Already deodexed. Just got to build it. If all you doing is using it for a hot spot why waste time building a rom for it. Dl a app and use your hot spot. I use foxfi on my s7 edge. Works np.
Let me know. Thought this was for people to actually use.

Black screen means the order was incorrect and wipe was moved to the end.

I'm not looking to use it for the hotspot. I already can use it without any problems. I'm just wanting a custom rom/modded stock rom, I hate full stock and I love being deodexed. I'm sure more people will use your rom once they discover it.
If you believe that flashfire moved the order around, what can I do to stop that? The log in it says what it's doing and it says it's going in correct order so im not sure. Ive been using v24 which is latest I think

Flash Fire moves it on its own right before you flash. You have to press and hold wipe and drag it to the top. It does this a lot. Pain in the arse. Ok I'll build it then just wasn't sure

I did that cause it put it at the bottom at default. I moved it to the top but still got same outcome. Maybe it's something to do with the kernel an bootloader bring different? That's my guess

Well I tried out your ultra note5 and non mdk one. I believe the ultra note wouldn't show the boot animation and cut off booting sound after a second then did nothing. The other one which was the non mdk one, didn't show boot animation but made the Samsung sound correctly but after booting into the system like ten minutes later of waiting, I get a pop up of system is not responding. If I ignore it an let it load another ten minutes or so, the setup wizard opens but if I hit wait or close on the system not responding box, it all closes and goes to black screen again and just repeats

Uploading stock rom for you to try....androidfilehost keeps losing connection.. You already built the rom from what i read a page back. So do you want me to just Upload the deodexd stuff for you to insert?

Hi, so Im very new to this, and thought I had done my research, but I found out that i hadn't gone far enough, and chose to root with king root, and read somewhere to then switch to supersume. which is where things went wrong. so now my phone wont load past the Verizon screen, I can access the boot menu and tried the recovery option there, but no success. I then proceeded to try and flash it, by using Odin. well I cant seem to get the right combinations of downloads in order to get it to work correctly.
Do I have any luck trying to flash it back to its original firmware? or is it a paperweight that has a battery and a screen...
I am currently downloading some firmware from: www .rwilco12.com/ downloads.php?dir=Files/ Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy% 20S4%20%28Verizon%29%20% 28SCH-I545%29/Stock% 20ROMs/ (being a new user, I cant post urls, so hopefully this works with all the spaces. sorry)
and we'll see if they work...
and any input or suggestions would be much appreciated.
You must not have seen this then.

Well interesting enough, I was able to use verizons recovery software to make it come back to life!! it took about an hour, but its a live!
Thanks XDA for all the tips!!

YW. Interestingly enough. I and others seem to lose that capability after a time. If you would like to contribute, could you upload the VZW Upgrade Assisstant software?
Just archive it into zip and use "manage attachments" from below to upload. PM me if you have questions. Thanks
