★ [N900V] [KitKat] [NC2 Firmware/Bootloader] [NC4 Modem/Recovery] [Boot Loop Fix] ★
This is a part of JasmineROM. It fixes the boot loop issue when entering (rebooting to) recovery on NC2 and upgrades the modem and recovery to NC4. Sure, by flashing this file in Odin, you can still roll back to Jelly Bean MJE with all the benefits of the leaked NC2 kernel.
An updated/unified version & instructions can be found here!

I confirm that this works better than the NC2 modem––for me. The firmware file provided by @BeansTown106 doesn't include NC2 recovery, and that's why entering recovery fails resulting in a boot loop. You can fix the boot loop issue by just flashing the NC2 recovery. However, the linked file here includes upgraded NC4 recovery and modem together with the NC2 firmware/bootloader.
The only issue I had when flashing the NC4 modem is incorrect lockscreen PIN code. So, you may need to set the lockscreen to "swipe" before flashing and change it later. At any time, you can roll back to the NC2 package by flashing @BeansTown106 firmware file. You can also roll back to JB MJE if you wish––or for root/disaster recovery.
Anyway, I tried this several times before posting. I'm a developer in another field, but I wanted to say thanks to the great XDA community by posting something useful (it's my 1st post).

Unset any lockscreen PIN/pattern, reboot to Download Mode, flash via Odin3, reboot to SafeStrap, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot to system, set your lockscreen security, and enjoy!
So this is basically like flashing the stripped nc4 modem .tar from the kitkat release? Im on ricks kitkat rom so this wouldn't affect anything else (only give me the newest radio) . The new recovery doesn't really improve anything since we are using safe strap correct?

Yes, but... The (new) recovery fixes the boot loop problem when accidentally rebooting to recovery from advanced power menu (for example). The NC2 firmware also gives the option of recovering from other boot loop problems. So, yes, its NC2 firmware/bootloader + NC4 modem + NC4 recovery in one file. You may not need it for now, if you've already flashed the new modem and NC2 recovery (not included in @BeansTown106 file), but it's still useful to have all of them in one small file that can be easily used for upgrading the modem and disaster recovery (e.g., rolling back to MJE for root before upgrading again to NC2).

No problem! You're welcome.
I've also prepared files for rooted NC4 ROM + firmware, but I don't like to post them because NC4 bootloader is incremented. So, you can get fully rooted NC4 ROM, but at any major problem, you'll lose root and there's noway to roll back to MJE. Thanks to @Hashcode for the PSA at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727876.
This is awesome. Thank you so much. Just installed this via Odin and let me tell you the NC4 modem is a huge upgrade over the NC2 one. Worth the few minutes to install just for that alone.

Just for clarification
Thanks for the files! Just to be clear, what steps should I take if I'm already on the ROM that Beanstown posted? Just flash in Odin? That shouldn't wipe anything, correct?

Just flashing in Odin is enough, but it's recommended to unset any lockscreen security before flashing and wipe cache/dalvik then. Here's the recommended steps:
1. unset any lockscreen PIN/pattern
2. reboot to Download Mode
3. flash via Odin3
4. reboot to SafeStrap
5. wipe cache/dalvik
6. reboot to system
7. set your lockscreen security
This is recommended only if you installed Xposed modules and modified the lockscreen behaviour. Otherwise, just flash via Odin3!
is this pre-rooted?

This isn't a ROM; it's just NC2 firmware/bootloader + NC4 modem/recovery. You need to be on the rooted NC2 to flash.

What would be the benefit of having the NC2 firmware over the NC4? I can understand the NC2 bootloader, but is there a difference with the firmware?

hey, i just skimmed the original post, and thought it was a full-blown NC2 ROM with the NC4 radio, etc.
I am sorry if I am misunderstanding but if I'm on nc2 and flashed only the modem nc4 from Droid forums that means I can't roll back to mje?i haven't tried it and I haven't had issued just curious I'm happy where I am as I'm rooted still on nc2 with my mobile Hotspot and unlimited data so I couldn't be happier u just want to know if I'm going to have the option to roll back to me modem if I wanted to
I think I was reading this as the firmware not the radio sorry ignore my question long day at work and my brain is jello

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.

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.
Hello all,
I am having a problem trying to upgrade my bootloader from NC5 to OC5 and my modem from NH7 to OC5. I have tried to use odin to upgrade straight to OC5 and still says baseband is NH7. I have tried to use odin to up grade to NK4 then go to OC5 and still says NH7. Each time i have formatted data, do a full and complete wipe through TRWP recovery x3. I have no clue to how to be able to upgrade to OC5, any ideas or tips would be great thanks guys!
Can you Odin back to stock NH7 and take the OTA? Or would you have to go back to NC5 even, because of your bootloader?

Do a battery pull let it sit for a few sec. Then put your battery back in and do the 3 button download mode combo (Power, Home, Volume down) from a completely powered off state. Once in D.L. mode and plugged in to Odin hit the (phone tab) not the (pda tab) and load your bootloader/modem tar file in (phone) then hit start and BAM! Happy face! Best if luck my friend.

This is the Sprint version Only!

no you dont have to update and no it isnt necessary. but if you are on stock OA6 I would take to guess that this rom is 5 months newer with improvements in alot of areas. they claim its for factory reset protection (so someone cant steal your phone and just factory reset it and it theirs now) and for reactivation protection (same thing so noone can reactivate the phone and make it theirs)
if i was on straight stock i would update. if i was on a stock rooted i would either try and root it or wait for someone to root the tar file and make it flashable through recovery.
thats my take on it.
cool... thanks. I like the security features, but at the same time I may wait till the new Moar comes out to do the work.

Yes. In fact, I did a full rom install, with nand erase all (after a bad flash), and I still went back to OA6 and OD3 stock deodexed roms.
Flashing TWRP from Odin works fine after flashing OF6 or OD3. I also used the CF one click root method, and that also worked for me.
Everything I did was in Odin 3.10.6.
Chainfires auto root makes odin complains about the recovery and shows 'fuse>3', which (I assume) means I've already burnt thru three of the 400+ fuses in the phone (kernel, recovery and probably rooting). I've tried odin 3.10.6 and the version that comes with chainfires auto root. Towelroot v3 says my phone isn't supported, even when using the command mod options.
I'll boot back into Windowz and try this a few more times. I don't see/know how joshdv rooted his phone...
edit: let's add insult to injury. I can't downgrade the firmware/OS to OA6, says it fails OS version.

Depends how long you're willing to wait and if you want to keep the warranty bit untripped.
If it doesn't matter, you can still flash custom recovery in odin and any one of the pre-rooted custom or stock roms that will run on the lollipop bootloader.

Made this for myself, and noticed other people wanting it. If you are in anyway unsure of what your doing, please don't flash Odin packages. I'm not on here all that often to answer questions, so please refer to aaricchavez's thread as I'm sure the same questions will be asked.
I was able to flash by pulling the battery, then vol-dwn + home + pwr. Choose vol-up for downloader and flash. Worked on the second try. See screenshots bellow.
What you do to your phones on you, consider this: Warning flashing Bootloader/Modem/ FULL FIRMWARE LOLLIPOP
Updates seem to work best after a shutdown and battery pull. If camera stops working, clear your caches and reboot.
Flashable in Odin:
Bootloader/BL:
FOL1 Bootloader
FOL1 Bootloader
Phone/CP:
FOL1 Modem
FOL1 Modem
TWRP Recovery:
Recovery
My Customized Recovery:
2.8.7.0 Recovery
I have tried numerous times to install bootloader but it stays on dob1. I got the modem just fine. Don't understand why

I've tried updating my bootloader& modem as well as the firmware in Odin 3.09 & 3.10 & all it keeps doing is failing can someone PLZ help
The only way I've been able to flash the last few modems and bootloaders is by pulling the battery, and even then It may take a few times. DOB1 took me 4 or 5 times.
And if your wondering, the modems a huge improvement. At least for me anyways. I'm up in the hills of the SF east bay and got very spotty LTE before, no longer an issue.
Could I use flashfire to flash the boot and modem?
Edit, I know it's possible to flash full firmwares but not sure about boot and modem

Can I flash just the modem if I'm already rooted using a CM12 ROM (Temasek unofficial)?
Does flashing a full stock ROM immediately update the bootloader and modem?

Yup. On rare occasion partitions respond in strange ways to odin flashing, ie. partitions other than what you're flashing become unwriteable. But for the most part that's a rarity.

Depends on your existing version, and the version your upgrading to, but with rare exception yes.
Is this the newest BL and modem for our phones?

As of 10/10/15 FOG6 is, I just uploaded.
thanks for this. just realized today there was an update.. only a one letter difference, took a while to realize it!
can someone upload the new one?
Just wanted to add this. Was having a hard time flashing BL and CP
1. removed the sd card (tmobile thing I read somewhere)
2. took off the md5 off the file name so it was just a .tar file
3. put both files in to oden 3.11 and on the first flash had auto reboot NOT checked, then pulled the USB cable and pulled Battery.
4. then booted to download mode with cable in and and battery in and reflashed with auto reboot checked.
I installed omega rom v20 and I had a bootloop because I didnt have a 6.x.x bootloader and modem.
I came from 4.x.x and I almost just installed a stock 6.x.x to get the updated BL and CP, then root that.
I have had good luck with omega, but I use TB to clean out all the Samsung stuff. I purchased the App for $7, worth every penny.
