For whatever reason, I had to Odin twice to go back to stock.

Here is what I did:

1. Boot into recovery, wipe everything

2. Odin file, don't check automatic reboot

3. Once its done, pull battery, boot into stock recover, do factory reset

4. Reboot into download mode

5. Odin file again

This is exactly what I did and I received the update.

Edit - I used the original NAB image which was 4.4.2. It then automatically let me update via Sprint to 4.4.4, and then to 5.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Moguledyouth:
When using Odin, always make sure to

power down your phone completely

and then press and hold volume down, home and power at the same time. Then press volume up to confirm download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twisteddroid:
I actually had to Odin 5 times before it would boot the last time I went into recovery and wipe data and factory reset the Odin nk4 tar. It finally booted but still says system status custom so when I check for updates its a no go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] runner77:
I was running rooted SPRINT KK 4.4.4 N900PVPUDNK4 and now I'm on Lollipop w/ root and TWRP 2.8.6.1 (4.4.4 version) recovery. My steps:

1. Odin'd stock NK4 tar using Odin3 v3.09 in the AP slot (kept Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time checked).

2. Let phone reboot. Skipped all the setups.

3. Powered down phone than booted into stock recovery to perform a factory reset.

4. Once phone rebooted I went to 'System Updates' and let the OTA do its thing. Phone rebooted.

5. Powered down phone and rebooted into bootloader (everything showed official)

6. Odin'd TWRP using Odin3 v3.09 in the AP slot (UNCHECKED Auto Reboot & F. Time checked).

7. Pulled battery and rebooted into recovery (TWRP).

8. Flashed Chainfire's UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and rebooted.

9. Successfully rooted.

Is there a way to download the update and just flash it in stock recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] javed91214:

thnks , but i already have NK4 . looking for lollipop 5.0 tar file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kareem91:
I'm in Cali bro .

The way I updated was

Step 1: wipe everything and flash the NAB update with Odin

Step 2: use kies to directly update to NKR KitKat (kies saves you a lot of time by updating to the latest firmware directly)

Step 3: go into recovery and wipe everything, this will help you get the OTA update and change the status of the phone from Custom to Official and you can update your phone to lollipop Via OTA after the reboot just go into settings and get your lollipop lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
There isn't one yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] javed91214:
i know the process frm custom to official status. i have note 3 in a quantity , that's why i am looking for lollipop tar file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] photolarry:
Ok so OTA out there - Lollipop

And I did ODIN NK4...but it still said CUSTOM and would not let me check OTA. I will try going back to NH7 a few times as suggested above in next few days but if some nice person would make a d/l of the OTA available say on any free site (copy.com and others offer freebie space)....I would be grateful. I am also wondering if I got this back to Stock...got the OTA...would CF-AUTO-Root still work or would I not be able to root it again? Thanks for the info. Peace out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FreddyFredFred:
CF-Auto Root worked for me. I had to do it twice, but it worked.

Remember to go into download mode from a powered off state. Don't reboot to download mode. Start up in download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] photolarry:
Rooting

You referring to running cf-auto-root from download mode (powered off state) or unrooting with say NH7 file...twice. Sorry I am trying to just get unrooted and "official" so the OTA will come across if possible. Then I will get it rooted if you say cf-auto-root will work (even it takes two times to apply it). I just was trying to clarify which file you mean to apply two times to get it "official"....not rooted. The root info is great to know tho, thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FreddyFredFred:
When I ran cf auto root the first time, it seemed to go well. When I tried to open SuperSU it said no binary was installed. So, I re-ran the auto-root and it worked fine.

Going back to stock worked on the first try.

Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BigMosley:
Diggin the new update, feels good for a change.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] photolarry:
Jackpot!

I was able to unroot and it is downloading a file 920.29 (connected to wifi) and should be running Lollipop soon. Since I am unroot I do not know how to catch the OTA file and upload it for everyone or I would happily do that so others can have it. I have a dropbox account that has plenty of room. If someone knows the trick to getting the OTA ... please let me know and I will try my best. Says it has 10 minutes left! I think it goes into some temp file that is accessible even if not rooted like /local or something. Update coming soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrofeoSC:
[MENTION=3756088]FreddyFredFred[/MENTION] Which cf auto root file are you using for this process?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FreddyFredFred:
http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip

this one.... I messed something up along the way.... Seemed to be with twrp 2.8.5.0 but I'm not very sure what caused it. But, after a reboot, everything was force closing, including system ui..... I had nothing but a black screen and a reboot menu. lol

So, I had some fun with some trial and error and managed to get a backup restored after a full wipe.

Now I am on the new baseband/radio running the darklord port from a backup. Haven't tested data yet, but everything seems to be working for now.

Good luck to you all!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piscesjoey:
Before you started to download the update you would have had to ran a logcat & then pulled the log which would've had the direct download link in it somewhere.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
Here are two posts from this very thread which talk about how to get your phone back to stock. Please read!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lazerus06:
There isn't a way to get Knox back to 0x0 if you have installed a custom recovery but that won't stop you to getting back to stock.

You need to Odin one of the stock Sprint Samsung Note 3 .tar files. Results may vary, but you may have to do it a couple of times. Make sure you factory reset and boot into download mode from having your phone fully powered off.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] oldjackbob:
Many thanks for this guide, it worked fine for me (but I Odin'd Philz Recovery instead of TWRP just because I like Philz).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gellenole:
Here's how I did it -- Just now not 10 mins ago:

1 - Cold boot -- Odin'd stock NK4 with odin3 just like you did (checked auto reboot and F. time)

2 - checked and let the phone do it's thing (didn't have to go through setup)

3 - Checked system and the build changed but the system didn't

4 - let bloatware from sprint install (going to remove and reflash root anyway)

5 - repeat step 1

6 - let the phone do it's thing, didn't do setup or anything -- phone booted and I ignored all installs and setup

7 - phone is on offical now -- proceeded with lollipop update.

So you used the Kit Kat 4.4.4 version of TWRP and that worked just fine or is there a TWRP 5.0 2.8.6.1 version somewhere?

Was hoping for a Chainfire CF autoroot method but I could go this route as well. Just want to make sure I have the correct TWRP .tar file and the SU .tar file Sitting on the stock OTA 5.0 right now SM-N900P_5.0_0009 Build number LRX21V.N900P_5.0_0009

I used ver. 2.7.1.0

Last time I tried to flash 2.8.6.something it boot looped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dugala:
Ok well then each TWRP is universal ?

I read something about boot loader specific So that was why I was asking did the boot loader change from 4.4.4 to 5.0 I guess is the question I am asking. If not then I guess I will try and ODIN the TWRP and SU files.

My Bootloader after the OTA to 5.0 reads as N900PVPUEOC5

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mattinky11:
Just wanted to share my upgrade experience since no one has mentioned getting the update without losing data. Was going to wait until freeza or one of the other master devs released a rooted and tweaked version of Lollipop, but I couldn't handle it. Was running stock rooted 4.4.4 (NK4), so I started by flashing the official NK4 firmware via Odin 3.09. Device rebooted via Odin and I proceeded with the software update - the first was a 50MB update, no clue what it was. Update applied, phone rebooted and checked the update again and got the Lollipop update. Update applied and phone rebooted. (Had to update Google Services here and a bunch of apps updated as well.) Here is where I deviated from other instructions posted: instead of going into the stock recovery and performing a factory reset, I just flashed the latest TWRP recovery (2.8.6.1) in Odin. Had to do this three times before it stuck, but once it did I booted into TWRP and flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46. Result was stock 5.0 rooted with no data loss and everything working including, WIFI calling and WIFI hotpsot. I have TWRP Manager installed and in opening it to check the version it prompted me to install Busybox to fix the SD-Card write issue.

I've not had a single force close or anything. Ran a little laggy for a few hours, but has settled now and I have no complaints. Don't know if this will help anyone or not but thought I'd share regrdless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrofeoSC:
Does anyone know of a list of the items that we can delete from the Sprint bloat?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evilvoice:
What is funny is that I never had the Sprint bloat installed on my phone. I don't know why. I went from 4.4.2 to NK4. Didn't sign in, didn't wait for it to install anything, just went to system update and updated straight to LP. I then wiped data and cache from system recovery and booted up LP. I logged in and had Google ask me what apps I wanted to install and so forth.

The only way I have Sprint apps is because I set up a second user account and they all installed. When I went back to my main account, I only have the Sprint account app and the fun & games app.

That's what they're supposed to do when you just tap them. Or you drag one to the top of the screen and one to the bottom and they should "snap" into split view.
