[Lenovo P780] abatt:
With this patch , when i press power button to reboot or enter recovery - nothing appears and phone is rebooted. Me and friend of mine have same problems.
[Lenovo P780] Pyntux:
Did you install any other patch before this one? Maybe something is wrong with combination of patches... :( Are you on 124 row?
[Lenovo P780] abatt:
No other patches installed. Yes I'm on 124ROW.
[Lenovo P780] Pyntux:
I do not know what is problem...I'm sorry.... :(

Your phone is rooted? If it is unistall the patch and install this program as an normal program. Then tell me if is doing the same.

He can not just "uninstall patch", but he can use backup of rom, if he have one....

P.S. First rule is, backup current rom before you do anything....
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Yes you can with Root Uninstaller or Root App Delete, Titanium Backup, etc etc.

Thanks for reply, but i change the rom with X-Vibe.
[Lenovo P780] Pyntux:
No you can not uninstall patch, you are talking about apps, those (patch) are system files we are talking about, look in to zip files, there is no .apk files... :)
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Yes you are right. This could be done by erasing this files with one root explorer app, and be replaced by a patch.

Just patch this file to restore original files.

Patch for wake with Vol + & vol - on 124ROW works well... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Well I pulled my OTA and will be updating as soon as I have the chance. In case anyone with a Sprint variant wants it now, here you go.

Showing KitKat NE4 dropped on Open Source L600VPUBNE4

Official Sprint Mega KitKat OTA.zip

As with all Official Updates, you need to have stock recovery loaded and be unrooted. This is flashed via stock recovery only and not custom recovery. If you have problems with the update I suggest you update via flashing through Odin with the Official NE4 KitKat Update.

This update does state

you will not be able to downgrade the bootloader once done

but if that really doesnt worry you or could care less then please proceed. Like many other Samsung devices, I am pretty sure one can flash a custom MK1 or NA7 Rom with the newer bootloader ( if one was available for us Sprint owners... ) all as long as you do not try to downgrade the newer NE4 bootloader back to the previous NA7 bootloader. As always you all should know what to do with the update.zip file so be safe and enjoy......

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hkleiner:
Finally!! Thanks for that. Now we just need a rooted full install :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Well it's easily rooted via Recovery. Just Odin Philz or TWRP and root through there. Once rebooted install SuperSU or Superuser via Playstore . Once installed open the APK and update the binaries. Should be rooted after. I have done this to all my phones including the wifes listed below and all are rooted.

I have also made a flashable Deodex zip for NA7 and will be making one for NE4 as soon as I have the chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] StriickeN:
Thank you very much. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hkleiner:
What Philz version did you Odin? I could only find a twrp for the att version which I have been using.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
No problem.

Remember that flashing a custom Recovery to root will raise your Knox Count up.

- Galaxy Mega i9205 (meliusltexx)

Many phone structures are similar that one could use one from a different carrier when sticking to the same model phone. Now this is not the case all the time though. PhilZ has combined some recoveries for some phones in their respective models though. Just have to be sure before you flash and know what you are doing.

If one has ever tried making or read up on making a custom recovery and one was not available for ones device, you could essentially grab the files needed from other similar devices to build the recovery for your device. Just have to look around.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hkleiner:
The posted update might be corrupt, because after I extract the update.zip file, I can't open update zip. It says can't open as archive.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
It will not allow one to really open the update, trust me I tried right away to try and pull the stock recovery image to make into a flashable Odin file. I was going to try by other means but I ran out of time and had to come to work. I zipped the official

update.zip

file to upload it right when I got home for members here to have. You can't unzip further than update.zip. When I tried to unzip ( I can't recall the program I used ) it did advised me it was a signed file.

You must place it in your External Memory card ( not Root or sdCard0 ) and flash via stock recovery. It is an official OTA. If you recieve the official OTA it will be located in your Root/cache/ directory.

On a different note....... I just finished Deodexing the APK's and Jar files and flashed them via recovery and all went well. I am now able to start modding some files and add some toggles if possible and undo the file transfer permission issue that kitkat has done to secure the OS. I am going to try and add the flashlight toggle if I can as that has been one of my goals for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hkleiner:
OK. I just had my phone download it itself and now I rooted as suggested.

I used ODIN to flash stock rom. Then allowed the OTA to dl and install. Then I flashed latest Philz Recovery and rooted from that. Then I updated superSU binaries. I used sd fix for my sd card and began reinstalling my apps using backups from titanium. All good things.

I think I bricked my phone can some one help me?

I ODINed to stock NA7 then allowed update worked fine. Then I installed Philz recovery and made a huge mistake wiped every thing, so Now I do not have operating system. Tried going back to NA7 but it fails. Tried installing recovery and then Stock ROM provided by Silesh Nair. It works, but still can not go back to NA7 to fo 4.4.2 update.

If anyone has any idea how to resolve it I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dyra502:
go back to mk1 and start back all over it will update to na7 then to 4.4.2 that what I did
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] asteetva:
Doe not allow to go to MK1

Tried MK1 too even that fails. As soon as it starts in ODIN it check a few things and gives msg FAIL.

Is it possible to get STOCK Recovery from somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hkleiner:
Uploaded my ne7 build already rooted here. Flash via philz

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
So you are saying there is no 4.4.2 Kitkat update and the Open Source website are mistaken as well.

Look at my original post and see for yourself. This is for the Sprint Mega SPH-L600 Phone. I have rooted all my Samsung Galaxy phones via Custom recovery using Philz or TWRP. Once you root through custom recovery it will then ask you to reboot the device and download SuperSU from the Playstore and update the binaries through there. Since then I have De-Odexed NE4 ( & created a flashable zip for US Sprint owners to flash via Philz or possibly TWRP but am waiting to release it ATM ) and have modded my platform.xml file to allow permission to write to external storage manually instead of using an App from the Playstore.

For info, the supposedly unrootable NA7 version is very rootable on its own just like MI6, MK1 and the now NE4. Once I updated my Mega to NA7, I rooted it right away, de-odexed and began modding the phone to the point where I also created a flashable deodexer ( via recovery ) until I saw that NE4 dropped and also the DL on my phone which stopped me from working on anything further for NA7 related.

I have not seen a lot of love for Sprint owners of the Mega and have wanted to contribute for some time. I know there is one member I saw that has made a Deodexed, De-KNOXed version of NA7 but one must not have KNOX at all when installing it. That was not my case. I wish I had a lot more time to actually start or create a Custom Rom for the Sprint users but I don't ATM. I have also read/seen that some Custom Roms from other carriers for the Mega are able to be ported over easily. All the things I have done so far for my Sprint Mega are very achievable and can be done very easily with the many tools provided here at no charge to anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GOOALLICA:
dude im stuck in odin mode i updated dated to the new ota on the sph l600 dont know what happen but in recocery it says no os think i have tried it all well need help real bad thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Did your Mega DL the OTA ( Over The Air ) update and take the update successfully? Second are you on Verizon or Sprint? I had to be completely stock meaning stock recovery and unrooted. In "Download Mode" it has to show literally all stock and nothing custom in order for you to manually flash the update and this is

not

using Odin ( as this is an Official OTA update ). Just making sure.....

I had to Odin the NA7 tar.md5 twice and also reset my device back to stock twice before it showed all stock and nothing custom in Download Mode. The KNOX was tripped once when custom recovery was installed before but that didn't bother me as I am not concerned about the KNOX security and warranty issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] izzibew26:
Just go to the Sammobile website and download the slow na7 firmware and flash it in Odin. Let it reboot and let the update finish. Let the phone fully boot up

Then flash twrp or philz in Odin and follow steps to install su.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] izzibew26:
Just got this thing myself so I don't really know the ins and outs of it yet. The last thing I'd want is for you to brick your mega. Out of curiosity were your downloads on a pic? Sometimes that can also get you a corrupted file. It seems you have knox so I'm not quite sure if you can downgrade without Bricking. The veteran here might know. I believe I saw a flashable zip in silesh's stuff. Odin a recovery and you can start with that just to get your phone back up

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] StriickeN:
I did all of that, but when I went to install supersu from the playstore it said there was no supersu binary installed and says my device is not rooted. I rebooted into philz about 3 times and tried to re-root but it didn't work. Any idea of what might be happening? Thanks again for all of this, I really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
#1.

Try flashing the most current SuperSU v2.00 through recovery that was updated on 06/18/14 here located in the middle of the first post. See if that will do it. If not then try what I did below.

#2.

This is what I did one time with one of my other Galaxy Phones and I know it's a big pain in the butt! Before doing so I backed up all my apps and info and actually reset the phone back to OEM stock meaning I went to Accounts / Backup & Reset / Reset. I remember trying to update SuperSu as well and it just hung there. I also tried to uninstall SuperSU and it hung. May have been and older version used in recovery before.

When I reset the phone, all apps were cleared and phone unrooted of course. It was a fresh new phone with PhilZ recovery still installed. After I let it boot up to the start screen I turned it off and then booted into Recovery and made a quick complete backup of the entire phone stock unrooted for safe keeping. Starting fresh again I Re-Rooted through PhilZ and then went back to

Reboot System Now

. After reboot I did not setup anything on the phone and went straight through to the main screen. I did not set up Wifi as well. Having the SuperSU APK with me in my External SDCard already, I installed the APK and updated that way. Newest update is SuperSU v2.0 which is what I used. Sometimes a complete fresh start is always the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
I'm still scratching my head as to what you did or think you did in Odin? The rule of thumb for any modification on any device, and this is something that literally is stated over and over again, is to always make a complete backup before you attempt to do anything so you have a way to go back. Did you make a complete backup of your phone before attempting to do anything to it?

Now, I see you are asking for the best way to root the Mega but given the situation the main concern here is getting the phone to boot up into the OS. The fact that your bootloader is still there and Recovery is in tact means you just need to load a backup to get you going.

My Bootloader Screen looks exactly like yours.

I know it doesn't help but mine actually says custom recovery and official for the other on the download screen. Weird. Are you downloading on a pic or on the phone?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] izzibew26:
Go to the Sammobile website and download the latest version. It's gonna be slow but it works on the pc. Unzip and Odin the extracted file. That should do it, then let your phone update. This is the part where I'd consult a veteran. I know in my last phone if you tried to Odin back with knox to a previous bootloader it would brick. I have no idea with this one. Can anyone else chime in on this ?

Don't try and flash anything before KitKat via Odin. You may end up Bricking your phone entirely. You are able to boot into recovery and flash say a Rom or perform a restore correct?

to adb or sideload or any other options if this dont work
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GOOALLICA:
thanks for all the help really got it working its not rooted but hey it works
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Trust me, you didn't try this one. This one is NE4 ( KitKat )not NA7 ( JellyBean ) and was just recently uploaded. This one will work and go through as this is the

newest

and

what you have loaded now

with the newest bootloader

which you can not undo or go back from. That is why the previous firmwares fail. You will brick if Firmware L600VPUBNA7 goes through. As far as a

Custom ROM

is conserned, you can flash being MK1, NA7, or NE4 ( if we had any for Sprint ) because there is no bootloader included when one makes one and only the Boot Image and System files are included. Only catch is you may need the modem for that Rom or version, maybe. But since you were trying to Odin Firmwares from prior NE4 ( KitKat ), those have the Bootloader included in them which you can not go back to once you already updated to NE4 ( KitKat ). When you took the NE4 ( KitKat )

Official Update

, you also took the new Bootloader that came with it as well.

I am glad you got it working again. Just follow the steps in Post#20 and if it doesn't root then flash the newest update from Chainsfire's SuperSU 2.0 in the link I provided in the first OP ( Original Post ). All this is done in your Custom Recovery

ONLY

and not Odin. Good Luck and remember before modifying anything.....

make a backup

.

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GOOALLICA:
I got root when in recovery it ask me if I wanted root and I said yes so I downloaded root checker and it says I have root I just want a different rom or a new feel pleade reply bro I just learning
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Yup you should now. Glad you got things going. Make a backup of this working now with Root as well so you have one Stock and one Rooted.

Unfortunately we do not have any ROMs available for us Galaxy Mega Sprint owners at the moment ( that I am aware of ) . If you want something different or some other type of modifications you can mod things yourself for now and play around with Xposed Framework and the Xposed Apps, now that you have root access. That's what I have done.

This is my setup on my Mega as well as on my other Phones LOL. Just be creative.

Hello and good day DarkAngel....have you had any success with modding the toggles and or other mods themes etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] seanroot:
I wonder why this phone gets no type of intrest from at least one or more talented development teams to do a custom Rom or some compatible mods themes or anything similar? I thank dark angel for this thread and trying to shine some light on the L600. I Just dont get it ? And we just got kitkat a few weeks ago SMH ....AND STILL NADA ....WISH I KNEW THE ANSWER ...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
My guess is that not too many people like the large phones as they can be bulky to some. I personally love the Mega and use it daily but only do via WiFi as I have no service on it. The battery is amazing and really lasts on it due to it not having to search or connect to a data connection and plus I have it cut off when not connected to a charger and it's in sleep mode. I do however use my Note2 daily and love it. I have my S3 which I use as my everything phone but mainly as my GPS HUD when I drive in my car.

I am slowly working on modifying the Mega and will be making things for it as time allows. Speaking of Toggles..... that is my next step, I want the torch and additional toggles like my Note2 and S3 so that will be in the works.

I have however created one mod for the L600 Mega at the moment, the 4-way reboot menu. Search for it in the theming & apps section. I am trying not to rely on the xposed modules as much as I want to have it as if it were something stock from the OS.
