I didnt think I would love the size of the Mega but, its convenient for me. I dont have to carry around a tablet or a mp3 player and have everything all in one. With heavy use for me I can get about at least 13 hours. Cant wait to see what type stuff you are working on for the Sprint Mega. :)

Does anyone have a mirror for the NE4 Odin Flashable file? I've certainly searched plenty enough of the internet to try and find it, and I can't. The SAMMobile link takes FOREVER to download.

Looks like I found an alternative. I'm going to post it here so I don't lose it, and I will confirm the validity of the file once it's done downloading. Instead of peaking ~200kbyte/sec, I was peaking around 1500kbyte/sec...so yeah, much better.

http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=2718696646&shareid=2459448599&third=0

I did confirm this is a working tar.md5 for US Sprint SPH-L600

Revert to stock recovery?

I have the following currently installed on my SPH-L600:

- L600VPUANA7 (rooted)

- Philz recovery

I am wondering what the correct procedure is to get back to the stock recovery so that I can update to L600VPUBNE4 using DarkAngel's procedure listed in his original post. I can't locate any instructions for doing that...

Better yet, I see that [MENTION=2308502]hkleiner[/MENTION] posted a link to a NE7 file which is already rooted and can be installed via Philz (post #18). Is that an easier path to getting from where I am to getting NE4 installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cellularticulate:
I just used the link I posted two nights ago to return everything to stock. Use ODIN and flash that under PDA/AP, boot into recovery, and do a factory reset. All done!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dschulz:
That did it - thanks!

Upgrade 4.2.2 to 4.4.x How?

I have a Mega running 4.2.2. It's Rooted and has the Standard Android Recovery

A lot of stuff doesn't work: tethering, both Bluetooth and USB just doesn't work. Internet calling doesn't work. Those are both critical apps I need.

I want to update the phone to be: Rooted, Custom Recovery, Faster (I used a CPU overclocker app now), and Android 4.4.x (whatever is available for the SPH-L600)

What's my safest and/or easiest procedure to do this at this time?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Don't think root is capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Yes it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Oh I missed the 4.2 part. Read too fast. Was thinking 4.4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Root can be obtained on

4.4.2

quit easily........ I rooted 4.4.2 as soon as the firmware update rolled out. The only one/s I have not seen yet rootable are the carriers with the locked bootloaders like Verizon and I believe AT&T. One can root our phones via recovery like before using Philz or TWRP. I rooted all my Galaxy phones this way while updated on Kitkat. I then de-odexed, de-knoxed and de-bloated as much as I could.

I have even ported over the 4-way reboot menu and the flashlight notification toggle to the L600 Mega on NE4 ( KitKat ). I am also using the S5 TW Launcher with Rotation enabled including Pull-Up, My Magazine and Launcher Themes as well. Everything is very possible on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] warriorpluto:
Oh ok that's good to know. Hope they find a root exploit soon for AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Ura535:
The new Baseband version is L600VPUANJ1.

L600VPUBNJ1 software update. The update process will be performed OTA (Over the Air). It may take several minutes to complete.

Who updated my firmware?

I have not gotten it yet but as soon as I do I will post it up.

I'm seeing the steps needed to root Sprint Galaxy mega, but no one is providing any links. Is there a way I can get links on how to root it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
The Link is on the first original post here. It then takes you to post#20. You root it the normal way by Custom Recovery if you wish. That is how I did all my Galaxy phones listed below.

Just Odin say Philz or TWRP. After you boot right into recovery ( don't let it boot the OS or you will loose the Custom Recovery. It will stick then on after you boot into it. ) flash the SuperSU from Chainfire. Reboot into the OS and update the app if you need to. I just yesterday actually went back to stock again and redid the process and flashed Beta v2.19 and everything was good then after.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mbre2004:
Found the Galaxy Mega (meliusltexx) files, but there was three of them. DO I download all three?

I have Odin, I'm assuming one of the three files that was associated with meliusltexx were one of the phil recovery?

Those three files do I drop them in the Odin folder or on my SD card?

And also do I do the same with the SU zip?

Man is there a video with the steps? Normally I'm not this dumb with rooting as I used to root the hell out of my Galaxy S2 and S3, but this mega is making it harder than it should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Recovery you have to flash via Odin. The SuperSu zip place it in you sdcard ( internal or external ). And yes you pick the meliusltexx since you are on the lte network. That's all you do.

First, flash the recovery via Odin in the PDA or now newer version AP slot. ( either the tar.md5 or the zip.md5 ). I used v3.09 or v3.07.... really up to you on the v3.xx.

Make sure "if" you do have

reboot

checked off in Odin you are ready to go back into recovery right away when it does reboot with the button presses ( Vol +, Power Button & the lower middle Home Button ). Don't let it reboot into the OS right after it flashes the recovery or it won't take and you will have to flash it again.

( You could also just uncheck and once done flashing successfully, pull the battery, then replace the battery and button press into recovery like mentioned. )

Once in recovery flash the SuperSU zip file and reboot into the OS. If for some reason before you reboot into the OS the recovery asks you to root your device, say "no" . (You already did......)

Once in your OS, navigate to your apps. If you do not see the SuperSU apk then download it from the playstore and install it. If you have to update any binaries or anything else of the sort like disable knox, do so. If not then your set.

Is the minor ota NJ* in odin format somewhere? thinking that the aliens tried to do an update and got half written but then phone is in bootloop permanent dejavu. The NE stock odin works a successful process but then still dejavu loop...can't get into recovery at all, maybe a lollypop odin should do the trick. As the bootloader is tripped up maybe the only thing I can do is wait for a higher oficial OS like lollypop IDK. Any info?

They posted it going to give it a shot
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lucky_515:
just got my mega sprint...opened it up,still on jellybean 4.2.2...after reading threw this thread,finding that its still rootable with the 4.4.2 kitkat firmware just as how you have allways done it and explained it several times threwout this thread..ive decidedd to safely upgrade to latest firmware..witch is kitkat 4.4.2 stilll right??...ok problem is im letting the phone update itsself while still on stock recovery..it only updated once..says has another package downloaded..but its doing nothing..should i just odin the kitkat update while still on stock recovery??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Entirely up to you. The "Update" per se, will only update through the phone having

stock recovery

or while in

stock recovery

. If you want to Odin anything you need the full Odin flashable tar with the update included in it which is L600VPUBNJ1. The update can not be flashed on it's own.

Unfortunately I no longer have the Mega but I went through the same thing with a S3 I have. I Odin'd the most current full tar for it with the most current updates ( for me it's NJ2 ). I then Odin'd Philz Touch Recovery, booted straight into Philz right after and then flashed the latest Chainfire SuperSU. Everything went smooth after.I continue to do this to all my currently owned Galaxy Phones with no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mamachip:
STUCK WITHOUT HOTSPOT after CF sutoroot

I recently used the Chainfire/Odin autoroot method to root my SPH-L600 Sprint Galaxy Mega 6.3 running VPUBNJ1 firmware and neglected to notice that this only works for NE1.

The result is this: tripped KNOX, so Sprint wont update me, and my phone shows Superuser status which prevents Sprint from helping me at all, and NO WIFI ACCESS. My phone says it is rooted, but when I try to turn on the WiFi HotSpot setting, I AM ASKED TO SUBSCRIBE.

So my question is , how do I, from my current status, get to the point where I can root my phone successfully, gaining WiFI access, so that I don't have to use PDANET anymore, which wears out my USB ports and becomes unusable. BTW, the Bluetooth feature is not an option for me because my notebook is not equipped with Bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lucky_515:
go to sammobile,download the full firmware for your exact model number,includeing what ever base your phone was currently set up with im guessing kitkat 4.4.2 witch is the lastest...takes about an hour to download unless your a preium user...flash useing latest odin 3.0.9....put phone into download mode,turn phone off,press power,home,volume down,untill see yellow warning..hit continue,plug phone in pc via usb..let odin regonise phone,should see blue in upper left corner of odin....tap the PA button,look for your tar file when you extracted your firmware..let odin check to see if the file is corrupt or not..should say succsefull...tap START..sit back and chill...IN ODIN MAKE SURE RE-PARITION IS NOT CHECKED..only 2 items are checkedd by default leave them alone.....once done,download the latest philz recovery tar file..and flash the same way with odin....this time makeing sure auto reboot is not checked..once the file flashes..manually reboot directly to recovery,power,home,volume UP,once you see the recovery interface let go of all buttons,if used philz look for the re-root option and use it,if useing twrp tap reboot,should ask you to install root,slide it ,then once back in android install sper user from the market,sometimes there are additional steps but just fallow as directed,its very easy..update binaires and enjoy...sorry for my spelling...and i diddnt check the date you wrote this...sorry if this has allready been answered for you...im bad at not checking the date before trying to help...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lucky_515:
could you plz clear something up for me..just got this mega..and cant find a dedicated thread for the L600 sprint galaxy mega..do they just have all the varaints in one development thread?..and i cant find any recoverys for the L600 varaint..every rom every recovery have the 2 model numbers,but not mine the L600..now i know philz has been like unfied to work on many difrent samsung devices with the same build..but im just thrown off,cause i never see my model number..can you explain this to me..point me in right direction. got my code name from samsung info app..its meliusltespr ,im on 4.4.2 kitkat baseband NE4 got the 6.3 galaxy mega sprint carrier...do i just use any file or rom,or recovery thats for the meliuslteXX ??...or do i need to find roms,and all otherr files that say its specficlly for my model number L600 ??
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Yes they are all mixed in together, no carrier specific. That threw me off too.

Well you are looking in the right direction! Glad you found the model number as it is the Melius.

You are correct to say meliusltexx is for you as you have Sprint w/ LTE. The other is for 3G only. As you will see, Philz only got as far as v6.48.4.

https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/meliusltexx/

You also have TWRP Open Recovery available to you as well. This I have seen gone to v2.8.0.1.

https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/melius/

Both recoveries worked great for me. I preferred Philz Touch though but to each their own. As far as ROMs, you are on your own. You can use roms from other carriers/variants but they will most likely break your cell signal. Unless there is a universal rom which you can use then you are stuck trying to mod or implement your own stuff as I had done before. I wish I could have stuck with the Mega as I did love that Phone but I only had it to play around with and never activated it. I loved modding things on it though.

You can always try porting a rom over to your phone from another Mega on a different carrier as long as you grab the right files from yours and place them into the other roms flashable zip you wish to port and then flash it in recovery. Here is a link to what I am talking about.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2284985

I never tried it on the Mega I had so I do not know if it will work for you but it can be possible to do so. Just make sure you make a backup of your current working rom for when it doesn't work to go back to. Also for info the Mega is unbrickable with an unbrick image. Just need to create one yourself and keep it somewhere safe incase you ever need it. Here is the thread where I helped out a member with one of my images. I also provided useful info on how to create an image or other images with other links as well. I hope you find it useful. Don't be scared to try things out. If you can, get a cheap used phone like a S3 or something similar to play with so you are not out of a working phone. As long as you have recovery available to you, you can always go back.

GL and have fun. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me or post on here. I'll try to respond as quick as I can.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lucky_515:
thank you for all the info..im off work this weekend..ill dedicate some time to read threw all the threads you provided..and yes i have several phones..so i can spare an s3 no problem...and i do love this stuff..no time better than the present to try learning more..its all about trial and error right!!!..thanks again for the info...i went with CM 11,and philz touch found a thread had all the info i needed...but this sounds interesting porting roms..i would love to know how!!..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
NP & I know, wish I had time to do certain things through the kitchen and all. The way I posted is just a quick way knowing that the other phone has the same or close to specs as yours so you wont brick. Sometimes you can get away with say a Note 4 port to the Note 3 and so forth.....

Glad you have other phones to try things with first. Took me a while to get over the fear of bricking. I quickly got over it though, as long as you have everything in order. Having a way to move thing around in recover really helps to. If you haven't already get the Aroma Filemanager. It has saved me several times from constant boot loops and freezes. Philz also implements it by double tapping the screen once the files are in the clockworkmod folder as stated in the main thread. it explains it there.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lucky_515:
comment #9 on the link for porting roms...it says this guide is only for mediatek devices,not htc or samsung phones....mentions there are lots of threads for porting roms...im sure i can search find one for samsung phones...be real cool find one specfically for the galaxy mega!!!..thanks for all the links though has inspired me...that guide looked real easy!people had some problems but looks like they figured them out

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

this may nopt be the place for this..but ivegot to ask,since ive got your attention...ive never been able figure this out yet..prolly simple to you..if ive got a png img and i want use it as my philz background how do this?..in twrp we just create a folder called theme,and change the name of zip to ui.zip and reboot to recovery but those are full themes....i just want set a png img as my background??...and i am gonna use this on my mega so does still pertain to my total goal for this phone in the end!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
For porting roms search within the actual ROMs thread and looks for the posts where members ask about if they are able to port them over. I recall some of the members and original posters advising of which files were needed to possibly port it over being a Samsung device and all.

For a custom background image, all you need is to make the png to the resolution of your device ( which would be 720 x 1280 for the Mega 6.3 ). I just took apart the recovery image for the latest Philz for the Mega, below is the original default background png used. You can use it as a template per se if you like but all you need is the resolution size.

In Philz, just go to:

Philz Settings

/ GUI Preferences

/ Change Background

/ Image from /sdcard

or

/ Image from/storage/sdcard1
​
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] lucky_515:
ok so wont work unless its the exact resolution for that phone....all i do is place it in storage?..dont have to make or create any special folders to place the image in?..i can use phone info app for any samsung phone to find the exact resolution for each phone..ive got several running philz touch...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DarkAngel:
Yup thats it. I would of course place them in the clockworkmod folder and make a folder there so you know where to look for them and keep track of them unless you only have one you want to use. Entirely up to you. Easy to find out the resolution for each phone. Quick search on the wiki here, google or anywhere will result in the numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mash4077fan:
I have the Sprint mega and I was on 4.4.2 and last week I finally decided to root. That went well. My biggest problem was getting custom recovery on it and to work properly. I like Twrp so that is what I installed using odin. I tried the latest versions and they all installed but would not let me do anything. When I tried to do a backup it would just return to homescreen. Finally I used an old version like 2.6 I think and it worked and I did a backup and I thought all was well but it still seems a bit iffy. So i tried to flash philz via twrp and it failed. Can I ask what exact version of philz did you use and how did you put it on? If i have twrp on it already can i still use odin to put philz on or do i have to flash it through my current custom recovery. also has anyone had any luck with xposed installer on this phone if so what mods worked

just an update, i was able to flash philz latest recovery using odin and it seems to be working ok
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mash4077fan:
Just to let anyone know who uses this phone I installed xposed framework and Wanam and I tried a couple of mods and it seems to work fine.
