haha, well i mean... I won't say it's impossible to do ROM side, but since this is only a Stock ROM, I didn't change anything. Now that this is uploaded, I can start tinkering with the ROM and figure things out!

I assume so. Since nothing is changed from stock besides the DeOdex part. But I will be ripping this thing apart now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asacado:
Why must goo.im have 43kbs downloads?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tandxcstar1:
lol ya I am in the same boat. However I did DL the Odex version in record time lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asacado:
Dunno, but I am stuck downloading it offa verizon 4g (gotta love unlimited data). Getting spikes between 17kbs to 127. Looking upwards of an hour to get this first rom. But great note that I am rooted and TWRP'd. Now to rom and get rid of bloatware.

Speaking of which, wtb debloated odexed rom. That would honestly set my ship until jedi or any other developers look towards us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jamice4u:
Is the N900PVPUBMI5 firmware included or do I have to install it separately?

Does these Roms ([ROMv2|StockRooted] 10/6/13 Sprint TouchWiz Jelly Bean 4.3 (N900PVPUBMI5) Odex/DeOdex) included the N900PVPUBMI5 firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewiskee:
yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
I'll be posting a separate flashable for the firmware. For those who are still on MI3 and haven't received an update notification because of root status or what have you.

I'm uploading the AFH mirrors right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] talktojer:
Bootloop. What should I do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naddict:
time to start theming!

thanks freeza!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
What were your flashing steps? Did you make sure the MD5 matched?

I test flashed both of them with success.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] talktojer:
I just flashed as zip file from OUDHS CWM Recovery SM-N900P 1.0.3.6

I did not check the md5, but I'm downloading the other zip file this time, see if that works.

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

checked md5 on odex file, and it matched...flashed it twice.

---------- Post added 7th October 2013 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 6th October 2013 at 11:42 PM ----------

Same deal with the deodexed file...md5 matches on both. what should I do? Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asacado:
Freeza, if you'll debloat it as well, I'll buy you a case of the finest beer a quickee mart can supply! :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] talktojer:
What I've done so far is flash over team win recovery, and flashed this from there. now instead of bootlooping. I'm getting to the yellow Sprint logo, and it's stopping there.

pulsing blue light.

Same with odex and deodex.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asacado:
Are the MD5's matching? Also is the size of the file 1.3gbs? I had a download stop and fail causing that kind of issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
I think those mods are for Deodex aren't they?

Anyone else having an issue when they reboot, you lose all your WIFI passwords and have to re-enter them? Stock Rooted MJ4 ODEX.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
I'm having the Wifi re-enter issue as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TuscaloosKen:
I'm also having that problem....When I get home this evening I'm going to odin back to stock and let it accept the update and see if that fixes it. The problem may be that I'm on the new ROM but on the old firmware
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Can someone advise on how to go from stock MJ4 (was rooted stock but Odin Josh's MI5 so I can get the OTA) to TWRP recovery so that I can restore my nandroid?

I thought I bricked my phone earlier so I'm very nervous about doing anything at this point w/o conferring with the great minds on XDA!

FYI: The MJ4 really did fix the messed up call quality for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] utbiglall:
I'm on mj4 for everything after Odin stock mi5 and accepting the update and flashing odex mj4. I am having the wifi issue so that may not fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] _Epic:
Thats how I got to where I am now. I odin'd back to stock MI5, took the update to MJ4 then rooted and flashed the Odex Stock Rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Compusmurf:
Mine did on the first reboot. Since then it hasn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] _Epic:
Mine does it after every single reboot. :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
im downloading off AFH (mirrorlink) only 15 minutes remaining.

Thanks Again to FREEZA for getting these builds out for everybody, and I am looking forward to your ROM and Kernel too! :)

Just banged out 8 thanks for you/. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
And thanks to you for answering my PM! I have no regrets getting this phone with the great devs and community involved!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
For those of you that odined back to mi5 and accepted the update to mj4 why are you flashing this odex build? I'm just curious if the WiFi problem lies within this. I did the same as you but didn't flash this ROM as it is stock does which is exactly what you get when accepting the update. Then I just rooted, flashed twrp and restored data from my nandroid.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
I odined back to MI5, i used wanam to change system status to official....it tells me my software is up to date. How do i get it to push the update to me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] traybent:
Ok.. if I download this odex mirror do I have to use odin or could I just flash over my current stock rooted ROM in TWRP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] K.0.0.L.:
Zip file is for flash and tar file is for odin. But don't overlook the zip, it could contain a tar file. Therefore, you will need to extract then use the odin method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] traybent:
Ok cool.. now if I flash ,should I do a full wipe then flash
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] K.0.0.L.:
Yes full wipe. You do not want to dirty flash when flashing different REV.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
You're looking to get MJ4 OTA? Flashimg the MI5 tar is not enough. Once you flash the MI5 update I had to go to SETTINGS. GENERAL. BACKUP & RESET. Do a factory reset. Let the phone reboot.

Now flash MI5 via Odin again. This time you should be able to get the OTA for MJ4.

From there you will be totally stock unrooted. Do NOT flash CF AUTOROOT in Odin after MJ4 firmware update. It did not work for me. Instead download the latest TWRP version (ends in .img) and flash that in ODIN.

Don't let the phone reboot! Once you hear the noise indicating the PC is disconnected from the phone begin holding VOLUME UP, POWER and Home to get into TWRP. Just keep your fingers locked on those buttons until you get into TWRP. From there restore a nandroid or flash a rooted rom.

Those were the steps that worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Going to try it in a minute, thanks a lot. Crosses fingers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
If you're looking to stay on stock with MJ4 firmware then there is no need to follow the second half of my instructions. However, I'm pretty sure you want to be rooted again so I provided you with the full steps I used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Yeah wanted to be rooted again...thanks..downloading everything i need right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
One last bit of info. After you flash TWRP via Odin, like I said, you have to get into RECOVERY right after doing this otherwise you will boot into stock unrooted rom. If you miss getting into TWRP recovery right after flashing it in ODIN you will have to flash it via Odin again. That is the trickiest part of the whole process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
I can get to twrp like that, i usually do anyways since i didnt install the 4 in one reboot.

---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

Ugh, after flashing the odin file for mi5, i went to sysem update and it says my device has been modified.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Did you do a factory reset within MI5 via MENU. SETTINGS. GENERAL. BACKUP & RESTORE?

It will boot into stock recovery and wipe your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Yes i went that part of the menu, it reboots with a little android and wipes phones. After it reboots i retarted phone and put into odin download mode and flashed the tar for mi5. after phone was rebooted again i setup up my wifi info, and still no update. when i go to the menu in general for software update it tells me my device has been modified.

Maybe i have the wrong files? I grabbed a zip from joshs xda repo and took the tar out the zip. Been trying to figure this out for hours lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Try again. This time after you do the factory reset don't go back into Odin. Let the phone boot up and try to get the OTA. It worked for me. I don't know why it wouldn't work for you.

I used Josh's MI5 tar as well do that isn't the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Do you have a link for the exact tar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
No. I was Knoxville 0,1 too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Should I download a new odin or use the one i got with chainfire?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
The one from CF Auto worked fine for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Ok i give up....lmao.

No matter what I do it says I am on custom. Odin download mode says custom binary and system status custom.

I flashed via odin choosing the option that says pda, then only reboot checked. I went to settings section toe backup and restore and did factory reset. It rebooted and I put my wifi info in. Went back and tried to get update and it says my phone was modified and wouldnt go past it.

Did one more odin flash and still no go.

sad
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Damn man I don't know what to tell you. I encountered that same message but after I did the factory reset and rebooted it disappeared and I was able to get the OTA. Poke your head in some of the other threads and see if someone has any other ideas on how to get it done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PuppyPowered:
Wipe from stock recovery once you have Odin'd to stock, then Odin to stock again. I was getting the same 'modified' message until I did that, but after wiping in STOCK recovery as well, the update started upon boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
ok trying this method now lol. more finger crossing..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
FWIW, here's what I did and I'm now currently on stock MJ4 (not Freeza's), rooted with TWRP, and using Wanam, my system status is official:

**My Knox flag was tripped already**

1. Nandroid my existing Freeza stock rooted MI5

2. Factory reset in TWRP

3. Remove SD card and booted up normal

4. Rebooted into download mode via ADB

5. Odin JoshBeach's MI5

6. Reboot but didn't set anything up

7. Reboot into download mode again via ADB

8. Odon JoshBeach's MI5 again (doing this only once did not prompt me for MJ4 update)

9. Rebooted again, at which point my N3 immediately started downloading MJ4 update automagically

10. Rebooted again

11. Rebooted into download mode via ADB and used Odin to flash CF-auto root

12. Once booted back up from CF-auto root, I set up my Google account and installed TiBu

13. Restored Goo manager via TiBu

14. Installed TWRP via Goo manager

15. Rebooted into recovery via ADB and restored data and cache partitions ONLY

16. Rebooted

17. Restored Xposed and Wanam via TiBu

18. Went into framework page on Xposed and installed/updated it

19. Rebooted via Xposed prompt

20. Opened Wanam and unchecked "Fake system status"

21. Rebooted via Wanam prompt

22. Went back into Wanam and rechecked "Fake system status" once again

23. Rebooted via Wanam prompt

Once again, I am now MJ4 stock rooted, with all my apps/data restored and system status official.

I have not yet flashed Freeza's stock rooted MJ4 since I got the above to work.

Good luck! :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
LOL Wow. I remember when it used to be so simple
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Wish was as easy as my note 2 use to be lol..

Anyways are you talking about adb by holding up and power and home then choosing adb download ( dont know how to use adb mode that way)?

Im doing the hold down home and power then doing odin...

I havent been stressed about messing with a phone in ages.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bobbywatts:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:
Yeah I dont know much about do anything via adb, think i a going to take a break from this. I dont know how much of difference it is from mi5 anyways. didnt have any problems. Stressed out though cause of this lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
If you're not having call audio quality problems don't even stress it. That's the only real fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
Agreed. I updated simply because I'll need to do it eventually anyway but I definitely agree with SantinoInc... Not a necessity if you're not currently having issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] K.0.0.L.:
Anyone tested, has the audio issue fix with the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kgbcapthowdy:
if im running jelly bomb can i just flash this in twrp and then restore my jellybomb? or will that restore the baseband etc?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kennedy808:
I hope I'm not the only one confused by all of ADB'ing and Odin'ing that's being discussed in regard to the update.

I was on the MI5 version of the ROM, then did a full wipe of everything, and flashed the MH4 version via TWRP. I then restored all my apps and system settings via Titanium.

I ended up with software version and baseband version at MI5, and build at MH4. Everything seems to be working fine, except that I also have to re-enter my wifi passwords after every reboot.

Did I do something wrong, or is that the expected result? And if so, was a full wipe necessary? It's kind of a pain to restore everything after the upgrade.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TuscaloosKen:
Does anyone have it or know where I can find the Wanam apk?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] simoncinis:

I need some help guys, I was on jellybomb and I created a nandroid and then loaded this new firmware. All went well and then I reloaded my jellybomb nandroid. After that my phone is stuck in boot loop. I tried reloading another clean stock rooted nandroid and it has the same issue. I have even download the mi5 stock unrooted .tar from josh beaches server and the same thing happens. At this point the phone has also deleted all the contents of my micro sd card. HELP! FYI my knox counter is 0*1 so going back to the sprint store won't be an option for me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] suavethekid:
I can't see that my phone boots goes to the samsung screen and then reboots endlessly. The last time my phone was able to boot the baseband was mi5 and the build was mj4 but I have tried using odin to push the return to stock mi5 and the cf autoroot and before my sd card was deleted I tried to flash the freeza mj4 through twrp. Everything ends in the same result of me stuck in boot loop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flyers2114:
try to flash just the firmware itself via odin....try both of them...also Sprint does not care if you are rooted or modified...read your TOS...trust me they dont care...and most have not a clue anyways...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] suavethekid:
which firmware freezas mj4? Because that one is a .zip and not a .tar the others I have been flashing through odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Siege9929:
+1 on this issue. This was super confusing for a while when getting my phone set up after the odin/update/TWRP process... Especially having to reboot for Xposed and Wanam and such.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neonflx:
I want to make sure I don't F this one up.

So my phone never been rooted or TRWP installed.

I'm on MJ4

Do I flash TWRP via Odin and then Install this zip? or do i need to install TWRP, CF-Root then the zip?

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
Not trying to clog up the thread, just want to make sure I'm understanding the mj4 update.

Will this fix the crackling noise on calls? It's brutal. I have baseband & firmware mI5 and I have the stocked rooted mj4 deodexed rom that you have posted. I have TWRP installed.

I've been trying to follow what has and hasn't worked.

Shpuld I Odin Josh Beaches MI5 (assuming it's unrooted stock rom), then reboot at which point I would be uprooted with stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset, reboot..accept an update(s) I'm assuming mj4? Then cf auto root, Odin TWRP and reinstall mj4 deodexed rooted stock...

Will this solve my issues of call static?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Flash the LATEST TWRP in Odin. Right after that is finished don't let the phone boot up to MJ4 but rather hold VOLUME UP, POWER and HOME so that you get into TWRP recovery. If you don't do it on time MJ4 will boot up. If you turn off the phone and try to boot into recovery you will go to Stock recovery instead of TWRP. So it's important to not let the phone boot up after flashing TWRP in Odin.

Once you're in TWRP flash whatever rooted rom you like and you should be good. For good measure I used GooManager and reflashed TWRP to make sure that sticks.

I'm still wondering if I did something wrong by just wiping the MI5 version and flashing MJ4 via TWRP. Everything seems fine, but everyone else seems to be talking about really complicated processes to upgrade that I didn't do.

Should I be ok the way I did it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sideous:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
You probably just have a MJ4 ROM with possibly the firmware. The trick is getting the baseband to update to MJ4. Devs haven't figured that out quite yet. If you look in about phone your baseband probably still says MI5. People wanted the baseband in order to resolve some call quality issues some were having on LTE.

Note 3 or Gear Sent
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kennedy808:
Yes, you're correct, my baseband is still MI5. But I haven't been having any call quality issues, so I guess it's not something to worry about for now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
Are you on MJ4 or MI5? If MI5 just Odin stock MI5 tar. Then reboot go through initial setup. Reboot to STOCK recovery do a factory reset. Then Odin MI5 tar again. Once you do that reboot again and do the basic set up. Phone should find the update to MJ4. Then just run one of the root methods. Then flash tarp if you want. I would advise against flashing freezas mj4 stock as some people can't get their WiFi passwords to stick. Besides if you take the mj4 update then root you are already on the stock mj4 ROM. If you are at MJ4 firmware and boot loader you can try spoofing it back with wanam exposed. As soon as a MJ4 tar comes out you should be able to get back.
