[ROM][ODIN][OC] SM-G900P NI3 (Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted) - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development

First, thank you to the anonymous source who provided us with this build and thank you to @garwynn for posting it here.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock NI3 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock NI3 experience, similar to a factory restore and it may wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the NI3 Stock ROM One-Click.
http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=938 (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the SM-G900P_NI3_Stock_Unrooted.exe was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on SM-G900P_NI3_Stock_Unrooted.exe. *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and select Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G/Spark logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore NI3 build!

Been doing a lot of reading/research as I'm new to the Samsung game. But I've been every else besides Sony. I read your unpack tutorial on your website, and jumped all over reading unpacking how-to's. Seems to me the recommended an easiest way to create a "no-wipe" package is via SplitFUS2. Most of what I've read is for older devices, and I was wondering if that's the way you recommend doing it, and if you know whether or not it works with S5 packages?

Will normal root process work on it. I'm tempted to do it only cause I want the modem

My guess is you're referring to my tutorials on how to build your own flashable TAR?
Honestly I've never used the SplitFUS2 utility so I can't give you a 100% answer there. However, what I can tell you is that Samsung devices use one of two methods to wipe a device when flashing a TAR. Generally the method involves wiping a partition and overwriting it with a partition file included in the TAR. There are several different partitions and each of them governs a different aspect of the device's functionality. There is generally a specific file that governs the data partition, once you extract the TAR you would then recompile it without the data partition file and flash the final resulting TAR.
The other is script based and that area I'm not an expert on. My BFF @garwynn is pretty good though and might be able to walk you through fixing the scripts if necessary.
Now one other thing to keep in mind is that this thread is for a one-click not the actual TAR. There are ways to decompile an Odin one-click but I would recommend just using the original TAR which can be downloaded in @garwynn's original TAR thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=2885005
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I was talking about your "How-To" on your site, and I replied there too. It was very helpful and informative. I found Splitfus2 doesn't seem to work with KitKat, only JB and before. After getting everything ready to go to try your method, extracting the files from the TAR, etc. I found the Kitkat file names differ a bit from the JB ones, according to the TAR BALL flashing order you have listed on your site. Which shouldn't matter since all I need to make is a stock system and recovery TAR. Assuming I use the method you have posted, only making a separate system and recovery TAR, a data wipe shouldn't happen......correct? Only other thing I'm not sure of is after extracting the files from the original TAR, the system is in system.ext4.img...... I assume I leave that the way it is, correct? Only time I've seen it that way is when extracting a system.img and converting it to a flashable rom.
When is the script wipe used? I'm pretty good with scripts. Thanks for your time and help, it's greatly appreciated!

I flashed, then rooted with cfroot. My Knox was already tripped before flashing this. Not sure what you mean by repercussions, but flashing this should not trip Knox, its the cfroot part that would.

When you say "no repercussions" what exactly are you looking for?

Meaning problems after the rom has settled Like System UI, Context Issues,ECT.
Rwilco12 I fully trust your work and thank you and all whom have helped . I am as one could say very apprehensive about changing complete systems. Roms and modems. I was in no way referencing this to and thing bad.

Bottom line is I am going for it even though Android "L" will be here first week of November.

Been following you since the Epic Touch days..... anywho, any chance of getting some love for the S5 Sport? Thx!

For anyone that has installed this...Any noticeable difference in the radio?

Service at my house literally went from 1 bar to 2, YMMV. I did switch to the bmfr cm11 build a day after flashing this, service has remained the same.

recovery
thanks so much for posting this - been trying to find an easy way to odin back to stock after trying a few ROMs.
Will this also take us back to stock recovery or does it only do the system/rom part? if not, do you know how to get back to stock recovery?
thanks so much!

hi is there a ni3 modem with out system i can flash?

Serious Problem
i downloaded this on my dads new s5, just an hour old.
Flashed in odin, now im getting the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error message.
i tried going on to sammobile and downloading sprint stock firmware and flashing that, but odin is rejecting it.
theres also a bunch of versions on sam mobiles site, so im downloading 2 more versions, 1 from april and 1 from june (NCD & NE5)
could it be because im running odin on windows xp vmware thats making odin not take the tar file?
also, i dont know what version im coming from, the only thing i remember seeing when i allowed it into developer mode is that it was on 4.4.2.
please help!!!!

XP under VMware. Yeah, probably asking for trouble.

****THIS POST IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS*****READ COMPLETELY BEFORE PROCEEDING*********************************************************************
I had to do this because I had flashed wrong thing in ODIN, and I had NO other choice....I did not do this by choice but this REALLY WORKS and I THINK ITS GREAT I was taking a RISK and I understood the consequences....I Could have ended up with a BRICKED PHONE, but that was not to be. I am VERY VERY happy with the results.
I WANT TO SAY THAT ALOT OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS POST WAS USED FROM LINKS AND POSTS FROM XDA WEBSITE THEY ARE A GREAT FORUM AND ANYONE DOING THIS SHOULD BECOME A MEMBER OF "XDA" AND "MOD A DROID"....THANK YOU XDA AND ALL THE DEV'S FOR ALL YOUR WORK ALL THE MATERIAL IN THIS POST I WILL PUT LINKS TO PAGES AT THE BOTTOM FROM PAGES USED "BUT I HAVE CHANGED SOME OF THE STEPS SO FOLLOW THIS POSTS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO THIS PROCEDURE"....TO FASCINATE YOUR MESMERIZE.

******************************READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE********************************************************
First -You NEED to download everything and have it on your PC ready to use !!! DO NOT START WITHOUT DOING THIS.
Second -You NEED to backup your contacts. DO NOT USE MY CONTACTS BACKUP !!! You will not have that app yet so there is no way to restore them. I used an app. called LOOKOUT from the market. You have to install on phone and sign-up on LOOKOUTS web sight and make sure you run a backup of contacts, as well you need to move any apps you want to your PC or SD card. I recommend the PC to leave space on SD Card....Have at least 1GB free on card to be plenty safe.
Ok heres the deal this may or may not be something you will want to do to your phone....DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK....This is what I did to turn my phone into a Fascinate even though I was a US Cellular Mesmerize. I WARN THIS WORKS BUT THERE ARE PROS AND CONS TO DOING THIS. To date there is NO, I REPEAT NO WAY to date to go back from this procedure to a MESMERIZE. Someone may have a way but I have not seen or found it yet. I do believe it is only a matter of time before the DEV'S come up with a restore and then you could go back to stock. SUMMARY= THERE IS NO WAY TO DATE TO REVERSE THIS PROCEDURE !!! DO AT OWN RISK !!!
First thing you need to do is download ROM MANAGER from the market and put the App on the SD Card for later install. Next Download this file here>>>>
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Fascinate Files/update.zip ---- to the ROOT of your SD Card it is a file called "UPDATE.ZIP" "DO NOT RENAME" put that on there and do not remove it you need it do a restore to access Clockwork later. This is where you need to have this located on SD. ---- /sdcard/update.zip.
Second you need to download...DI01 update with root and busybox here>>>>http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S7IFCKX0
Important:"DO NOT RENAME" and DO NOT put this on the root of your sdcard as /sdcard/update.zip. That's where clockwork mod lives. PUT IN FOLDER you name what ever on SD Card. You will need to go here later in the post to install this in step#12
/sdcard/"FOLDER YOU NAME"/update.zip.
Next thing you need the samsung drivers for windows for this to work. Those can be found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779238 [this page has a good write up on how to down load and install.] or direct link BELOW>>>> Thank you DIRRK XDA member.
Download and Install Samsung Drivers to your WINDOWS PC this whole procedure was done on a WINDOWS 7 PC. WARNING: You need different drivers for mac/Linux and I do not know where to get them as I have only a WINDOWS PC.

**************************GET ODIN AND ALL FILES NEEDED BEFORE PROCEEDING DOWNLOAD TO PC FOR USE*********************************************
LINKS ATTACHED TO FILES BELOW.
Next download ODIN and run. Make sure ODIN sees your phone by putting phone in DOWNLOAD MODE by pulling battery LEAVE OUT. Run ODIN. HOLD VOL DOWN AND PLUG INTO PC with cable that came with phone, a yellow rectangle with id# means ODIN sees it----once this is connected DO NOT UNPLUG UNTIL ODIN IS FINISHED. If you do you will see a PC connected to a phone by a triangle this means you prematurely unplugged and you will need to re-flash whichever step failed to flash. It is only OK to unplug once a step is finished and Odin says reset in blue, but you do not need to you can load the next file and go. But I've got steps below so if you are here you didn't read entire post. CAREFUL Now follow step 4.1
ONLY FLASH ONE OF THESE AT A TIME. START WITH THE /SYSTEM ODIN AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN THE LIST.---You do not just flash the pit file it is used with the other files like system,kernel,and recovery. ****FILES BELOW STEPS****READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE USING ODIN AND KNOW THE RISKS*************************************
************************ONCE YOU FLASH ANYTHING YOU CAN NOT GO BACK YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE**********************************************
************************ONCE YOU FLASH ANYTHING YOU CAN NOT GO BACK YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE**********************************************
Steps:
1. Pull battery from device
2. Open Odin on desktop
3. Hold volume down button and plug device into computer-This will place the device into download mode
4. Verify device shows up in Odin ---This should be a yellow rectangle with id #----As well the phone will also say download mode with a yellow triangle on it
4.1: Select PIT button
4.2: Select PIT file downloaded from this post and load it into Odin. (I Never loaded the pit file when I did this in Odin and worked fine for me but from what I understand it is good practice to do so to Quote a post ---"You need to load the pit file into Odin---Missing these steps usually results in major FC hell issues." Thanks PHOENIXPATH senior member XDA
4.1: To Flash the "Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5" file you,
5. Click "PDA" button in Odin ---MAKE SURE YOU ONLY USE PDA "DO NOT USE PHONE" YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
6. Select "Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5" from where you downloaded it
7. Click "Start" This will reboot your phone when complete. This flashes both the kernel and the recovery partition to enable you to flash update.zips signed with test keys. ---When done ODIN should say reset leave pit alone and load next file of the three needed to be flashed.(YOU MAY NEED TO UNPLUG and REDO STEPS 1-4 AGAIN)and jump/proceed to step#8 and continue on.
8. Flash "Stock-i500-VZW-Kernel.tar.md5" when done says reset move to next step.
8.1 Flash "Stock-i500-VZW-Recovery.tar.md5" when done says reset move to next step.
9. Flash "CWMrecovery.tar" ----THANK YOU JT1134 Senior member XDA
10. Replace the battery and Boot in to Recovery= HOLD VOL UP + VOL DOWN same time and PRESS POWER, all three need to be pushed to enter recovery.
11. In recovery navigate UP=vol. up/ DOWN=vol. down /ENTER=home key----You need to select "apply sdcard:UPDATE.ZIP" on ROOT of SD Card to enter the next recovery screen.
12.In this recovery "CLOCKWORK RECOVERY" navigation is different UP/DOWN=SAME but ENTER=power key---you need to navigate to the "ADVANCED" and then apply "WIPE DALVIK CACHE" when done select "REBOOT RECOVERY" (brings you to stock recovery) navigate to "WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET" once done go to "APPLY SDCARD UPDATE.ZIP" then "INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD" once there select "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD" navigate to the folder "YOU GAVE A NAME TO" and inside is the 2nd "UPDATE.ZIP" you put there and select it...wait until it is finnished...once done.."GO BACK"and"GO BACK AGAIN" then select "REBOOT SYSTEM NOW"
13. Enjoy your stock Fascinate phone with DI01 update and root and busybox . You still will have phone call ability but a couple of apps like contacts backup and vcast are "Verizon" and we at US Cellular can not use. But once you install custom ROMS in Rom Manager you will be able to get roms with them removed or get apps to shut down/freeze them and sub. them out.
Alot of the ROMS have apps taken from the MESMERIZE so this is not really an issue at least not to me.
INSTALL ROM MANAGER FROM SD CARD OR LOAD TO PHONE FROM PC AND INSTALL ON PHONE......
NOW GO INTO ROM MANAGER AND "BACKUP CURRENT ROM" so any changes made from here you can get back to this point.....once done you can NOW LOAD CUSTOM ROMS,KERNELS AND ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF YOUR "FASCINATED-MESMERIZE"
Buy the latest PRO version of ROM MANAGER and use to upgrade kernels thru clockwork or load roms in rom manager......
These are the files to put in ODIN PDA Flashing one at a time with the PIT file. ONLY USE PIT AND PDA......You have been warned again. PS-NEVER DUMP IN ODIN,and do not check anything but PDA AND PIT...there are things checked in ODIN when it loads leave them alone.
Download: "To PC for use in ODIN before you begin"
Odin: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Odin3 v1.3.exe -This is program to use to flash.
Odin Restore file for system: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5 -----THIS IS FIRST.
Odin Restore file for kernel: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Stock-i500-VZW-Kernel.tar.md5 -----THIS IS SECOND.
Odin Restore file for recovery: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Stock-i500-VZW-Recovery.tar.md5 ----THIS IS THIRD.---this is just to be safe
Odin Clockwork recovery file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/CWMrecovery.tar ------THIS IS FOURTH ONE I FLASHED.
PIT file for use in Odin Restores: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Stock-i500-VZW-pit.pit ----THIS IS PIT TO USE "WITH" ABOVE FILES.

Because There is no way mainstream to use clockwork or rom manager. Hense you can only root, thats it without this.

Correct, No Way of FLashing ROM MANAGER so you can apply the first update.zip
You Can Flash but when you apply the update to a MESMERIZE you get E:signature verify fail -hence No Clockwork, NO Roms. No Way to Customize

Yea, was worried origionally that I was screwed but its a draw/Im happy its only a matter of time before the Fasinate users will be able to go stock mesmerize because this SHOULD?see no reason why not, go both ways.
I know that Sprint is doing an I-500 can we go there too, at least for apps and features. I wonder? And what about the 4G...USC and VZW are 3G would switching/Moding give any advantages I think NOT but still wonder how much of that speed is controled by phone software. I really think its all the network but not 100% sure.

So i have clockwork working on my mesmerize and running jts super clean but does this allow you to use all facinate roms and kernels on the mesmerize? if so i wanna try this
so if i did this and i used clockwork to perform a backup before i did this could i possibly just restore that backup and have it be a mesmerize again?
and it was said there are pros and cons of doing this? the pros are great but what are the cons besides not being able to go back to stock mesmerize????

[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)

Multiupload links removed - MU seems to be gone forever. I will repost an unrooted UCKH7 package in the next week along with a modem package - Until then, use the rooted package and then remove:
/system/xbin/su
/system/bin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk
And then reboot
I have uploaded Heimdall/Odin flashable kernel ,rooted system, and modem images to dev-host. This should be sufficient to unbrick most hosed-up phones, as long as you didn't flash a bad .pit. Note that after flashing this, you might need to wipe data depending on what ROM you were coming from. If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work. If you're coming from a 100% stock ROM and only using this to gain root, you should be able to keep all your data and not need to wipe.
The kernel is 100% bone stock, the system image is stock except that it is pre-rooted (su binary and Superuser.apk)
I am including the modem in a separate package since that goes in a separate modem slot, and I don't want to reupload a 200+ MB file if I don't have to.
The kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package is here: http://dev-host.org/UWm
Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package: http://dev-host.org/8LA
Download, extract the package using 7-Zip, which can be downloaded from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html, then either:
1) (Tested on Linux, should work on MacOS) - Extract the tar and flash the components with heimdall from the commandline as follows:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.img
for the kernel + system package, and:
Code:
heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
for the modem package
I've never had good results with the Heimdall Frontend GUI.
2) (Tested by Jivy26 for kernel + system, untested for modem) - Flash the .tar in Odin. I'm a Linux user, so I have only tested this with Heimdall so far.
Kernel + system package goes in PDA slot I believe, modem package in Phone slot.
If you are wondering why I used 7-Zip to compress the archive:
7-Zip provides better compression ratios than Zip
7-Zip is open source unlike RAR
If it were a zip file, some doofus would probably think it was CWM-flashable and complain that it didn't flash.
Also - great thanks goes to Jivy26 for providing a stock /system dump. Without that it would not have been possible to make the system image or get a kernel dump.
Coming in the next few days - stock unrooted /system package.
Also just added - a param.lfs backup from my device. This is NOT contained in an Odin-flashable .tar file yet, I'll work on cleaning up my packages when I'm feeling better. I came down with a nasty cold a few days ago.
UPDATE:
creepyncrawly has written an EXCELLENT step-by-step guide for flashing this with Odin. The guide is at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
In addition, he posted an Odin-flashable tar package for just the stock kernel, for those who want to do a ! removal. I have mirrored the file (I don't trust Dropbox for long-term hosting) at http://www.multiupload.com/MD7SMMNG24 - his original post is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18535109&postcount=174
Awesome, thanks. Downloading now.
*If it were a zip file, some doofus would probably think it was CWM-flashable and complain that it didn't flash.*
LOL! Enough said right there. Thanks Ent!
Worked great with odin, thanks.
If one was to add the correct pit file to your package would that fix a bad pit flash, as well as fix if one had messed up partitions?
They would be useful for flashing back from cm7 wouldn't it? Or am I completely off?

With a good .pit file, yes it could recover from a bad .pit flash.
As far as going back/forth to CM7 - I believe that differences in architecture between the original GS and the GSII (mainly no FSR/RFS proprietary modules) make going to/from CM7 much less painful.

Enter recovery (this kernel has stock 3e recovery) and wipe data/factory reset.
Power off (may need to battery pull), then:
Hold VolUp+VolDn
Push Power until the screen turns on
Let go of Power, keep holding VolUp+VolDn until you're in recovery

No, shouldn't hurt anything. Should only need to wipe if coming from a significantly different ROM such as CM7 or an I9100 ROM.

Yes, but I figured this would be more popular and uploading one of these takes an hour. I'll put up the unrooted stock in a day or two as I'm doing kernel work. However it's easy enough to unroot, just remove the two following files:
Code:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/xbin/su

Hey kids! Don't know if anyone here knows me, but I am an ex avid Captivate user. But I've been out of the game for so long (exploring webOS and BBOS7) that I am very behind. Anyone kidn enough to post a link to the newest Odin? Also, what slot do .tar files go into? The first one, PDA?
EDIT: Opened the file, definitely PDA Still, anyone have a good link to a working Odin? I remember at one time some Odin versions worked really badly, and I used the original 1.00 but I heard there is a 2 and I'd prefer to use that with this new phone.

[Q] (Help) Verizon unable to verify software. Did not install any updates

So I just downloaded Illusion ROM a little bit ago and went into CWM and wiped and flashed. I have been flashing multiple ROMs for weeks with no trouble and I've been flashing since the HTC Incredible about 3 years ago, so I kind of have an idea on how to flash properly. So after I install the gapps and reboot I get the yellow triangle and it tells me go to the verizon store because it can't verify software. So when I try to boot into recovery it will not load, so I can't even flash my back up. I did not install any OTA updates or hook my phone up to the PC. When the Samsung splash screen comes up it still has the unlocked icon. So any help would be appreciated on how to fix this because I am going to be steaming if I wasted $300 on this phone. I knew I should of waited until the Nexus 5.....
Flash the stock image in Odin. For future reference, this happened becauseyou flashed something without a loki patched boot.img.

I downloaded and deleted it 3 different times and tried two different mirrors and 2 different zip extractors and it still says there are files missing and when I load what I did extract Odin says its corrupt or something
If you rooted your phone you should have a MDK kernel image laying around somewhere or be able to find it on your own. And as said above it happened because your boot img was not loki'd for you. This could be because you are running a recovery that doesn't loki for you, the boot.img in the ROM was not loki'd making it a boot.lok, or you tried installing something that was not for verizon and thus the boot.img was no good.
SO:
boot into download mode
-powered off state, hold volume down and power until it shows you the splash screen
Open Odin
uncheck f. reset
click pda
navigate to your MDK kernel file
Open it
connect device
wait until it says it found it
Then hit start

[GUIDE] So I've just got this stock i-777 what do I do?

So you've just gotten/inherited an I-777 and you need to get rid of the 2 year old UI and OS ASAP, but all the other guide threads are just as old and filled with old info, what to do?
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for phone bricks and the like. You follow this information at your own risk. This is just information I'm writing down as I update my wife's old bone stock phone
BACKUP your data from both cards, you are likely to lose the internal SD data in this operation
Let's get started:
Root the phone:
Go here: Framaroot.
Download the .apk, and put it on your phone.
Be sure to 1. Have install from unknown sources on. 2. Enable USB debugging.
Install the .apk and run it.
Choose SuperSU and then click on Aragorn (should automatically be detected).
Reboot the phone (power cycle is probably the only option in stock).
Congrats! You're now rooted!
​
Install a kernel
Go here: Mobile Odin.
Grab two apks; Mobile Odin Lite and the Flash kernel for i-777. (Flash kernel is many posts down from the top)
Extract the .apk from the Flash kernel .zip file, and plop both .apks on your phone.
Install the .apks
Go here: ShoStock and click on the 'older kernels + a tar version'
Download the .tar
Plop the .tar on your phone
EDIT: At this point you may want to also grab a rom and any other files you may need if you only have the internal sd available because you'll lose USB mount access past this point. So go ahead and transfer those files to the phone.
Open Mobile Odin Lite and select the .tar file
Flash it, the device will instantly reboot after flash.
The device won't fully boot now, but don't worry! Hold down POWER, VOL UP and VOL DOWN until the phone cycles and the logo appears, then let go of the buttons and you should be in CWM recovery which came with the jeboo kernel you flashed.
Install a ROM
You will have to wipe/factory reset first from the CWM menus.
Flash your rom, regardless, follow the instructions in the OP of the ROM thread you're interested in.
I flashed ShoStock first since it's likely more like an OTA update to bring partitions up to date before flashing anything else.​
Be sure to hit THANKS on the posts you visit from this guide.
Nice to see an updated guide.
For your fifth step of Kernel install, you lead users to a jeboo kernel, which is great if they plan to go ShoStock. I believe that the Jeboo kernel is a mic swap kernel, and may not be suitable for other very popular and common ROMS for the I777 (any AOSP or stock samsung, or COOKED).
Therefore I suggest adding such a note, and providing a link to at least one of the Siyah(based) Kernels.
These are available in several versions, and in .tar or .img format; both of which can be flashed via mobile ODIN (extract the .zip, flash the boot.img)
if flashing to an ICS Rom:SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1
If flashing to a JB Rom: AJK BOSS (newest available)
Edit: props to @othermark for compiling this simple updated means to root & rom on the i777

Most, if not all, roms here will come with the appropriate kernel which will be flashed during the ROM install. They would have to reflash the jeboo kernel to get something incompatible. This is just to get them something that 1. has CWM and 2. is a .tar they can flash with Mobile Odin Lite.
That said, sometimes you have to flash a compatible kernel before you flash a particular ROM.

Mobile Odin Lite (and Pro) will recognize and flash a zImage. So one can pull the zImage from any CWM flashable zip and use it.

So if i wanted to Do Cyanogen Mod(10.2), would it be okay to use the jeboo tar? Or should i download AJK, unzip it, and install the boot.img instead of the jeboo .tar?

It should not matter which version of CWM recovery you use, so Jebo will be fine. When you install it, your system may not boot up, but just turn the phone off, then use the button combination for recovery mode.
Edit: boot.img is a partition file that Mobile Odin will recognize, the same as zImage, so you can use it to install AJK if you prefer. Again, it shouldn't matter which one you use.

I can't vouch for the jeboo approach, but I expect that it works.
I did use this guide with the latest ajk-extracted boot.IMG as you describe, and it works as well.
Fyi: If you're using mobile Odin pro, you don't need the i777- kernel download, the pro version does it for you.
9. Open Mobile Odin Lite and select the .tar file
What do i click at this point(To Flash the .tar)? I opened Mobile ODIN Lite, now do i click Kernel, System, Data, Cache...., or Open file...?
Just wanna make sure.

Used This Guide, Followed Everything Until the .tar File, i Instead flashed the AJK boot.IMG file. It Successfully Brought up CMW Recovery. When Attempting to Flash Cyanogen Mod or Paranoid Android I Got Error Status 7 (getprop("ro.product.device") == "SGH-I777 || getprop("ro.build.product") == "SGH-I777") Same Error for Both.
Steps i took to Fix.
Opened Unzipped Cyanogen Mod.
Open Build.prop and Rename SGH-I777 to i777 In those Two Spots (ro.build.product and ro.product.device)
Opened Updater-Script and Removed the First 2(or 3) Lines Referencing the SGH-i777
Then Re zipped them using this method - [UltimateGUIDE][How-to]Create your Own Custom ROM an easy way

I don't really understand... You simply take the Sim card out and put the thing in airplane mode.
I did that with mine and the battery lasts a week. BTW you can turn on WiFi while in airplane mode. You can also uncheck "use data" in the mobile network settings.
There's nothing complicated to do.

Yes I know about airplane mode but im trying to have him use this phone as a actual phone that can make calls but didn't want att to tack on an additional data plan to it because he never uses any data while out and about. Basically I want to use this phone on my dads line without having to add a monthly data plan.
He was using a T-Mobile phone that I unlocked for him before and they didn't add the data plan on cause att doesn't recognise T-Mobile imei, I could be wrong but if I can change something in the phones build prop to make it seem like a non att branded phone, would it not be detected as a smartphone and not trigger the data add on?

This has been answered for you already, several times. CWM is included in our kernels - you DO NOT flash it separately. Just pick a kernel that matches the android version you're on (ICS, JB etc.), flash it and it'll install CWM for you!

[ROM][ODIN] SM-N900P NAB (NAB Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - Full Restore - Unrooted)

First, a HUGE thanks goes to @garwynn for being my partner through all of this and then to @sfhub for teaching me how to create an Odin One-Click.exe, @freeza for posting the original TAR this is based off of, @MoHoGalore for helping test and put together so many of these one-clicks and to everyone else in our community who makes this possible!
Second, I was asked to make this one-click to help simplify the process of restoring a stock factory build for our Note 3 users. I do not own a Note 3 so I have not been able to test this as I would normally prefer to do before releasing. I do however feel comfortable that it should work as designed. Due to the fact that we do not have a Note 3 to be testing it on, at this time neither myself or Garwynn are planning on releasing a rooted One-Click. There is a lot more risk involved when building the rooted versions and we don't want to take that risk with other people's phones.
This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock SM-N900P NAB Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.
There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.
This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock NAB experience, similar to a factory restore and it will probably wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.
Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.
2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link
3: Download the NAB Stock ROM One-Click.
SM-N900P NAB Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)
4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).
5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the "SPH-N900 NAB Full Restore (Unrooted).exe" was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on "SPH-N900 NAB Full Restore (Unrooted).exe". *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.
6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.
7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.
8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].
9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.
Android Instructions:
Download and install ZArchiver on your phone. Use it to unpack the Odin One-Click 7zip self-extracting exe file (long press on the 7zip exe. Select "Open As Archive". Select the One-Click.exe and then select Extract). Use Mobile Odin to Open File on the "SPH-N900 NAB Full Restore (Unrooted).exe". FYI - Modem will not flash with Mobile Odin.
The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G logo screen.
Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore NAB build!

Can I do this from JellyBomb? Or do I need to be stock first?

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to but I'll let some of our N3 owners chime in just in case.

Lol someone got caught not reading the OP!
I'm not saying we won't do a rooted one but it's not in the cards right now. There's too many things that could go wrong and we just don't feel comfortable doing them without a device to test it on. We'll see what the future brings though!
worked fine coming from 4.3 Jellybomb rom didnt wipe data either
How to root after I install this? Thanks.

Saved the day.
I don't know what I did wrong, I flashed the engineered bootloader, Freeza's "stockish" NABD and it worked (sorta). Phone was freezing about every 3 minutes, wifi wouldn't remember my connection info, and the baseband was still showing MJ4. I wasn't panicked yet, but I was feeling pretty stupid about my lack of patience. You have no idea how comforting it was to see your thread.
Everything worked fine. Lost root, but it didn't wipe data (a good thing as it turned out). Easily re-rooted and phone hasn't froze or rebooted once since flashing.
Thanks for the effort. Much appreciated. This is a great alternative for anyone that hasn't already flashed, or missed a step somewhere and wasn't totally sure where to start to correct.
Thank You!

The OP says that this will probably wipe data. Can anyone else confirm that this DOESN'T wipe data?
