Thanks... but with evilpotatoemans (sp) method... those with MJ5 have no fears anymore correct? Least I was able to use it and put it back to stock and all was ok.
anyway.. went ahead and updated and rooted/putting some roms on now to test out.. thanks for info.. it's what i figured..

[Q] N900AUCUBMJ5 Odin files

Been Looking for these since softbricking after the OTA update.
I recovered to quasi-usable with the MI9 PIT. However my PDA and CSC are now stuck at MI9.
Can't roll back to MI9 via oneclick, so I'm hoping someone has them and would like to share. Because they're obviously intrinsically awesome.
Looking for:
N900AUCUBMJ5 Firmwares.
All would be nice but I'm specifically interested in:
CSC
PDA
PIT
Thanks
I'm in the same boat. Is there anybody out there with a rooted updated(MJ5) ATT N3 that could try the method in this link and upload the files? Please?

If you would look in the general section instead of bringing a long dead thread back, that'd be great.

Help anybody
Trying to flash a knoxraid using its meathods i wiped my system in SS recovery and wasnt suposed to reboot , so i lost SS recovery and my system and haven't found a solution that dont failed and i have a note 3 laying around i cant use and i dont know what to do ...
SS is still there. You need to flash the 'togetsafestrap' files in Odin to be able to boot it.
However, you are at the point of needing to flash the MLG AP, BL, and CP files in Odin to get the ROM to boot.

Also, this thread is long dead as I stated before. If you need to recover back to MJ5, you will find a tutorial in the QA section. You should be fine with just flashing the files I stated though.

How do I revert back to stock MI3 NO ROOT?

Anyone have the files?
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you have mj4 I don't believe a downgrade is possible
Though you can downgrade from mi5 no problem.
The stock mi3 file is still up at the Samsung update website. I don't remember the link at the moment.

If you're on mj4, you cannot go back to any previous version.

Yup I knew that was previously the case, and was pretty sure there was no workaround.
I hate when they do cap like that to the bootloader.
I'm going to take that as confirmation, as I knew back when mj4 first came out and I was maintain a Knox safe root thread. There were a few issues of people tripping Knox Even on a complete stock uprooted phone attempting to downgrade to run the Vega files.
Just hadn't looked into it since then wasn't sure someone hadn't worked around it.
Though why you would want to go back to mi3 is another question.

Yup, there are a few stock mj4 options (with or without root)
Check the development section.
I personally usually use Odin to flash the full official Samsung mj4 tar.

Just to go Security>Permission control > disable root permission
If you are using any third party root permission managers like SuperSu
Just uninstalling them would work.

Can someone create an Odin version of the new 4.4?

I'm on the leaked 4.4 and I see people are having problems not being able to update. If there was an Odin version, would that work?

It's because AFAIK it's not pure MJ5 but it's modified. We never had MJ5 build on Kies or Sammobile.

I restored to mj5 and then did Ota update to another version which worked fine and then it tried to do an Ota update to 4.4.2 and fails. Thinking of trying emergency firmware restore via kies and see if that works.

It won't. Kies only has MI9. It will fail because of different flash count in aboot trust me.

I can confirm this. Tried this also and it fails
I think I might know a way. Someone who restored and cannot update PM me.
Is there any way just to force the download?

4.4.2 LEAKED ROM, How do i root?

Hey i have the leaked version of 4.4.2 rom installed on my ATT note 3.
I hear news on the OTA update but i don't see why i need to get it.
I just want to get my phone rooted so i can use some of the applications that require super permissions.
Downgrading to 4.3 build seem like an option but some of the links bring me up to "file was removed because of copyright/somethinglikethat", also i prefer more of a one-click style.
But does anyone know where i can find it? Searching for it leads me to the exact opposite of what im looking for. So hopefully a thread post can help me out.
You can't directly root it as far as I know.
You may end up having to revert to MJ5, install SS and then install one of the 4.4 ROMs we have available.

i read his post, but you can't get safety strap installed properly without having super user permission. If there is no root for the leak i only see the option to downgrade to jb and get root. The process seems tedious and like i said a bunch of the things you need to download, the links aren't workin.
As far as I know, the links are fixed.
Some people like myself are not lazy and have no problem doing tedious things to get their phones to function the way they want.
You may not care about downgrading to upgrade to a custom 4.4.2 ROM with root, but others do.
