Updated 2-7-15: Added BOA6 Firmware only odin images

Update: 12-2-14: I added firmwares with no recoveries, so what ever recovery you are using is the recovery that will stay installed. That way if you prefer a different build or different developers recovery you dont have to worry about the firmware package changing your recovery. I also added a hidden image file back into the NKD file I tested both ways and it doesnt seem to matter if its flashed or not but I put it back just to be safe. These firmware packages are labled no recovery. I also added some modems see below for details.

Here Are 4.4.2 NE5 4.4.4 NK4 and 5.0 NKD Firmware Only Flashable Odin Images. You can use these to flash back and forth between these builds without flashing the full tar ball. Simply flash your rom in recovery reboot to download mode and flash the firmware package that matches your rom and thats it. You can go back and forth between builds this way. The firmware images contain custom recoveries one contains Latest TWRP 2.8.10 and The other contains PhilZs 6.57.8 recovery. The Philzs Firmware packages are labeled philz and the other ones are the ones that contain TWRP recovery.

Firmwares include boot.images, bootloaders and modems. They are the full factory image minus the system image and cache images they are each around 80mb in size

Sprint Firmware Odin Flashable Images

Here is some modem only odin flashable tar images. If wanting to use a different modem on a different build (for example: use ndk modem on nk4 rom) just flash the tar in odin. Thanks [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]

Sprint S5 Modems

All 6 stock kernels, flashable zips and odin flashable versions. Thanks [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]

Don't forget that to flash any of these properly, you should enter download mode on the phone from a POWERED OFF STATE.

So let me get this straight. I'm currently on 4.4.4 NK4 rooted and Philz recovery (prefer Philz).

If I want to test 5 I can flash the Philz philz_nkd_firmware.tar.md5 with Odin, without having to do full wipe and not have to re-load everything?

I understand the best way is to full wipe. But I've had high levels od success with dirty flashes. So I try that method first. I perform a full wipe if problems exist.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Right on. Philz is already included in that one.

HOWEVER, I have issues going back and forth from 4.4.x to 5.0 bootloaders which require a full wipe of internal SD (for me anyway) or the roms just wont boot. I think L places something/needs something on internal SD that is conflicting. And I cant say about data restores, you'll have to find that out on your own. ;)

Need help

So im on MOAR NE5 v 2.2 and i want to update my modem to NK4 because of the better phone signal it gets. I can flash this right? Do i flash the firmware file or only the modem file fir it to work. Also i flash this with Odin right. If i do flash this with Odin, where do the put the File. I have Odin v3.09 and it has the option of: BL,AP,CP,CSC
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
If you take a look at the MOAR FAQ, section 3. (k), there's full step by step instructions on how to update your modem to NK4.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] netengineer:
I think I am missing something. I don't see it in the MORA FAQ... (yes, I am pretty sure I am missing get something) lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
Section 3, question K. About half way down, starts in red :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Just flash the modem only tar from the op in this thread. If your still on NE5 bootloader make sure you flash the modem. Don't flash the tar image that contains modem and non-hlos as this needs to match bootloader. Remember sometimes you have to flash the modem twice to make it stick. I always just flash in odin and make sure reboot is unchecked load modem tar image in phone (CP) section flash then unplug cable pull battery reboot to download mode and flash again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zune70:
Thanks didn't know this was in the FAQ :P

Alright thank you will try this later
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] streetracer8605:
My wife's phone is on a stock rooted NE5 rom with stock recovery. If I were to flash one of these packages in ODIN, would I be able to retain root for her or would it have to be rooted again tripping knox? Lastly, are you able to flash a modem in ODIN without tripping knox? Sorry for the noobish questions, since Samsung started the whole Knox crap I moved on to nexus devices so I'm not as familiar with samsung anymore.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Odin won't trip the knox counter. Is it important to keep it that way for warranty or are you just asking about it?

The newer modems won't work on the Ne5 bootloader as far as I know.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] streetracer8605:
The warranty is important since she's not sure if she's going to keep the phone. The signal hasn't been the best, so hoping that a newer modem would help. So if ODIN wouldn't trip knox, would we be able to flash a newer firmware and test it without tripping knox? Are you able to downgrade if she wants it back to a rom that can be rooted without tripping knox?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DSR_1106:
If you flash modem only if I'm understanding correctly, it should work.

Maybe someone else can comment..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The~Skater~187:
Yes, if you are on the nk4 bootloader and firmware, you can flash the nkd modem. So long as you flash the modem only. I am currently running fusion 4.4.4 with the nkd modem and nk4 firmware.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] streetracer8605:
Ok, after doing some more searching and reading it seams you can flash away in ODIN to upgrade or downgrade firmware, kernels, and modems without tripping knox as long as your flashing official images. Am I correct in this? If so, are the firmware images, kernels, and modems in this thread official that could be used to flash in ODIN without tripping knox? If so, then I answered my own questions but just wanted to make sure. The last time I had a samsung device I was on verizon and the bootloader was locked so I couldn't just downgrade. That's why I'm so noobish on this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Yes, you can flash the full factory images with Odin and should be fine, can also go back to older bootloaders without issue too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] streetracer8605:
Awesome, thank you for the response. Are the firmwares, modems, and kernels in this thread official or is there a good place I can download them?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DSR_1106:
I think i googled " stock modem for G900P" and found a download page with everything. Modem only, firmeare, Non HLOS...

Im not home or I would post the url for you

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Oh, and it does work. Im running a 4.4.4 ROM with NKD modem now
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
All 6 available modems work with the 4.4.4 build.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DSR_1106:
I discovered that they do but I can't seem to notice any difference/ benefit from one over another? I've flashed them in various configurations.

If I'm coming from a 5.0.2 build back to 4.4.4, do I flash the " Non HLOS " or just the NK4 modem only first?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The modems on the op have both modem.bin & non-hlos in each one ready to go as a single flash for each version. So they don't need to be flashed separately.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DSR_1106:
Ok, thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bigblue206:
I am stock rooted NE5 and just want to make sure I don't screw something up. I should Odin the NK4 Firmware first, then NK4 Modem. Then Odin the NKD Firmware, then the NKD Modem and that will put me at Stock Rooted Lollipop. Also will flashing just the firmware wipe my data. THanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] csmasn:
If you want stock rooted lollipop just Odin flash the NKD firmware and download the NKD rom from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57122539

If you just want to change modems, just flash the nk4 firmware.

Flashing firmware won't wipe your data.

The easiest way to switch to NKD rooted is

1.download the rom

2. Put it in your sd

3. Put the phone in download mode.

4. Odin flash the nkd firmware with custom recovery(Uncheck auto reboot) .

5. Turn off the phone and enter in recovery and flash the stock rooted rom.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AthieN:
I think you just need to delete the 'Android' directory from the internal (and probably external) SD card when you flash back and forth... I actually delete it every time I switch ROM's because I've seen some wonky things happen when leaving it there. I wish the custom recoveries would auto-remove it when you clean you device!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eloko:
i flash nkd irmwares while ago, and it did just fine. then i flash it back to ne5, and everything worked as expected. now, im trying to flash back nkd and it tells me that md5 fail. and i try the ne5, still same thing. so, i used 3.10, then for the jiggles, i download 3.09, and still the same error. restarted laptop, phone, and still same thing... im downloading again the firmware, with recovery and see what happens...

I was on 4.4.4 and mistakenly downloaded this thinking it was the full NKD ROM and got stuck on the Samsung Logo black screen. I'm going to flash the actual full NKD leak using Odin and see if that fixes it. In the meantime, can someone answer these questions?

1. If these files aren't the actual NKD Operating System, then what exactly are they? What did they change coming from my NK4 stock rom?

2. Why is it that the phone didn't boot afterwords? (the technical reason)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elwood:
NKD is Android 5.0 while NK4 is Android 4.4.4 making it a Huge difference
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blksith0:
Which question are you answering? I'm aware that there is a huge difference between an NKD ROM and an NK4 ROM, but I don't understand a few points, which I outlined in the 2 points above.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elwood:
They are the actual operating systems with the recovery image removed i believe. Everythinf this else is official
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blksith0:
Thanks. The filesizes between the leaked lollipop and the files provided here for lollipop is a difference of over a gigabyte though, so I think there's more difference than that. And now that my phone is working, a third question comes to mind:

1. If these files aren't the actual NKD Operating System, then what exactly are they? What did they change on the phone?

2. Why is it that the phone didn't boot afterwords? (the technical reason)

3. Did this change anything on the phone that a default NANDroid backup and restore would not override? Or have I completely reverted to before I flashed the NKD file here?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
These are the bootloaders kernels and hidden partitions and modems basically everything but the system. If coming from Nk4 just flash the nkd firmware in odin reboot to recovery since there is no operating system yet and then flash NKD rom of your choice. If coming from nk4 you can also flash nkd rom in recovery then use the power off feature in recovery reboot to download mode and then flash firmware. The only problem with doing this way is if rom your flashing uses a custom kernel it will be replaced with stock kernel when you flash firmware. THe process is the same to go from NKD to Nk4 roms
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kmcphee:
I take it you wipe your rom thinking thst this is the leaked version tor Sprint lollipop on GS5 since no os tyen you got stuck on boot

I have used leaked and international versions of both GS5

On oeaked version you have wifi xalling. International soed jot

Apso the filing system has fhanged dramatically from dalvik to ART

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elwood:
No actually im stock 4.4.4 rooted. No need to go lollipop until official OTA which is apparently being pushed on the 26th. I meant modem and bootloaders, and not the operating system. I have played with lollipop on a bunch of devices and can honestly say only one i was impressed with was the GPE Galaxy S4. Besides with out being able to use xposed lollipop doesnt interest me
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blksith0:
Thanks very much for clearing that up with me. I don't recall with my previous phones having to flash firmwares and ROMs separately so I think that's where the confusion came from. So now I'm presuming that this was the problem

1. Using stock 4.4.4, I did not wipe anything

2. Flash this 5.0 Firmware (bootloader/kernel)

3. When booting up, the bootloader and kernel try to boot 5.0, but the installed OS was still 4.4.4 and so it stuck on Samsung screen​

Is that correct?

And again, did my 4.4.4 NANDroid restore everything back to 4.4.4 or are there still 5.0 remnants somewhere on the phone?

Thanks again for everyone's quick and helpful replies
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
I think I'm missing something here. I'm on NE5, and I wanted to try the other modems, but I end up in a bootloop on every modem except for the NE5 one. I was under the assumption that I can Odin any of them without flashing anything else. I've read through the thread and I must be wrong. I boot up into download mode from a powered off state, too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
It's been a while but I know that ne5 firmware you're stuck with ne5 or older modem (i think). You can run ne5 roms with a 4.4.4 firmware and also use any of the modems but the ne5 rom needs the 4.4 kernel to run.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Ah! Thanks man. So I will try flashing the 4.4.4 firmware first, then I'll try the modems. I knew I was missing something.

NOTE: This is not to upgrade your phone to Android 4.4.4, this is only so you can install the latest modems.

NOTE: If you use fingerprint security, the NKD (Lollipop) modem breaks it.

Files needed (download to PC:

Odin (Upgrade to Odin 3.10.0)

NK4 Firmware. Only needs to be odin'd once. You can then odin any modem to use.

Modems. They are listed oldest to newest. Alternately, you can download All Modems.zip to PC as a single file and extract the modem(s) you want to try.

Instructions:

1. Power down phone. Do not use a menu to go into Download Mode.

2. Go into Download Mode (Volume Down, Home and Power Button), then Volume UP to continue.

3. Plug phone into computer via USB.

4. Start Odin. (Ensure you have a blue ID:COM light in Odin.

5. If firmware file needs to be installed, place it in the AP/PDA (older version) slot. This is a one time only step.

6. Place modem file in CP slot. (If you are upgrading the firmware, step 5 & 6 can be combined.

7. Press Start. Phone will reboot when finished.
