**Make certain that your reactivation lock in security settings is off before beginning this process**
1. Take the NG3 OTA update.
2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).
3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key) and flash the G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
4. Open the Towelroot app from your app drawer and press "Make it Rain" to root your device.
5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again and flash the G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel also using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
6. Install SuperSU to manage root access. Done!
Notes:
1. After flashing the ND3 kernel your phone may run a little wonky and towelroot may not root on the first try. If that happens reboot and try towelroot once again. Once rooted and after flashing the NG3 kernel your phone will once again run like a champ!
2. Following the above process will not affect your User Data or Knox Warranty Flag.
3. Should the NG3 ota update fail consider returning to stock NCE by flashing the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) then taking the NG3 OTA update (or place the G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery). Once updated to NG3 continue from Step 2 above.
Alternative Method for Safestrap Users:
1. Place the G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip onto your ext-sdcard.
2. Use Safestrap's Backup Function to back-up User Data.
3. From the Safestrap recovery perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
4. Flash the G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip using Safestrap's "Stock Slot."
5. Then press "Home" then "Restore" and restore User Data.
6. Once complete press "Home" then "Reboot" and reboot into "Download" mode.
7. Last, flash the G900A_NG3_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Notes:
1. The G900A_NG3_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery to NG3 but does not include the NG3 Bootloader.

It looks like I can't OTA to ND3 anymore. The software update gets me 160MB update directly from NCE reflash.

Not necessary to rename before uploading.
I sent the file to you. However when I want to test install the file in stock recovery, I always get error and it will not update (but I can open in computer with 7zip or other programs). Not sure if the file itself has problem.

No. I ODIN back to NCE, no root. Then I rerun update from About/software update. It does download 162MB file, then boot into AT&T logo. It will update until 30% and reboot, then the firmware is still NCE.
I am starting to think the file that people download from NCE is actually the same as those with ND3. However the file expects ND3 so it won't install (hence I get the error both with running the app and install in recovery). Notice all those people saying update fail in another thread?

The NCE Odin .tar that you flashed does not contain the non-hlos.bin. The non-hlos.bin is in the BL file in that set of .tars which the OP tells you not to flash. Likely beacuse if you are on the ND3 bootloader your wifi may go out or your phone may run wonky if you flash the NCE non-hlos.bin.
Here is the NCE modem pkg including non-hlos.bin. Flash in PDA or AP slot in Odin: G900A_NCE_Stock_Modem
Just go into stock recovery after flashing and re-sideload the NG3 OTA. I will put together an All-in-One_NCE_Odin.tar with the non-hlos so that other won't run into this issue. Someone will have to test.

Open the .ini with Notepad and change the line below

Change to.
PhoneBootUpdate=1
Save the file and start Odin. The box will still be greyed out but it will be checked.
Proceed with the update.
Once you are finished with the bootloader update it is recommended to revert the changes that you have made to the .ini

Maybe i am doing something wrong or maybe its because i am running FreeGS4 but none of the few things that changed with the MF9 update are availabe....like the smart pause button in setting, add apps to sd card, and the legabilty option.....is it cause i am on a rom based on MDL...will this change when my rom gets updated?

This cannot be the "full upgrade". At 30MB how can that be compressed from 360mb download OTA. I believe this is just the modem and kernel.

People, it's the full firmware, not the operating system. Normally, we just update the modem and other small bits, but this includes the bootloader and other smaller partitions that get overlooked if you only flash the updated OS through a zip. If you took the OTA as it was pushed to your device, you do not need this.

THIS IS THE FULL BOOTLOADER, MODEM, RPM, AND TZ UPDATE.
No android operating system files
Thank you. Worked great.
I must be doing something wrong. I edited the .ini to allow bootloader update. Put in PDA slot and hit start. It passes after ~16 secs then reboots and nothing is changed. Baseband is still MDL. Anyone know what I'm missing? I'm using Odin v3.07 and have tried different ports/comps.
Also on FreeGS4 with TWRP 2.6.0.0.
EDIT: Fixed by turning device off then booting into Download Mode instead of rebooting to download mode.
After downloading the 3.07 odin version, I edited the configuration settings for the program to check "bootloader update".
I select PDA and go to find the mf9fullupdate.tar.md5 on my desktop, and the program can't find it; I'm slightly stuck now.
EDIT: After ten seconds of posting this, I realized that I had to unzip the file xP
Got it!!
AND WORKS PERFECTLY! Thank you for this!
Great job.
This worked fine. Just a note to all. Once you get it started please wait for it to finish. It takes about a little over 2 minutes to get done. Once it's OK in the odin window. You will need to disconnect the phone and either pull the battery or hold the power button down till it turns off. Once that is off you can then turn it back on and it should be updated.
I love this. :victory:
I followed everything via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852 and successfully flashed CWM to my GT-I8190.
The problem arises when I attempt to boot into recovery mode. Every time I attempt it, I am taken to the stock android recovery screen and not CWM. I've tried different versions of Odin... the touch version of CWM.. using a different computer... all to no avail.
I even downloaded Rom Manager thru Google Play and attempted to flash/update CWM from there (as it said it was, indeed, installed on my phone) but it wouldn't let me reboot the phone into recovery from Rom Manager - I imagine because I am not rooted.
I'm attempting to root my phone and flashing CWM is the first step. Like I said, the flash was, indeed, successful but the problem is that it always takes me into stock recovery instead of CWM.
Thanks in advanced, guys!
try another custom recovery, for example this one.
Wait until Odin says "success" and then reboot into recovery via Vol+ Home and Power

Hmmmmm.... I may have to go with vROOT if you tell me it's safe to use.
Another way of root is by flashing unsecure kernel. You can do it easily by Android Toolkit.

So, I have a Note 3 that I am trying to upgrade (from 4.2 maybe). Kies and Kies 3 do not recognize my phone. When I tried to Odin it, I got an error and the message, "firmware upgrade encountered an issue". I've tried reflashing, but nothing helps. I feel like an idiot that I cannot figure this out. I have read and read. I have downloaded:

So, I've tried different ways and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I have tried with Odin 3.09 and 3.10.6. I cannot use the zip file since I can't seem to get my phone into recovery with the error message above.
Can someone provide me with some guidance (in very simple steps)? Much appreciated.

hey guys! I followed the guide here
**Make certain that your reactivation lock in security settings is off before beginning this process**
1. Take the NG3 OTA update.
2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).
3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key) and flash the G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
4. Open the Towelroot app from your app drawer and press "Make it Rain" to root your device.
5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again and flash the G870A_NG3_Stock_Kernel also in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
6. Download SuperSu to manage root access. Done!
Troubleshooting:
1. If the NG3 OTA update fails consider flashing the G870AUCU1ANE4_Full_Odin.tar to return to stock then take the NG3 OTA update, (or place the G870A_NE4toNG3_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery). Once updated to NG3 continue to Step 2 above.
2. The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure.
Notes:
1. After flashing the NE4 kernel your phone may run a little wonky and towelroot may not root on the first try. If that happens reboot and try towelroot once again. Once rooted and after flashing the NG3 kernel your phone will once again run like a champ!
2. The above process will not affect your User Data or Knox Warranty Flag.

LOL yeah I found this guide before your post, I did get it fixed, someone please lock this thread
Ok so I have a note 4 that was not working properly as it would boot into Odin mode when I tried to turn it on. That being said, it sometimes would boot normally or not turn on at all. So my solution was to root it and install a custom rom (like cyanogen mod). So I got odin and the twrp file and the custom kernel and followed the steps necessary: flash twrp, flash the kernel, flash super su, etc. But the problem is that Odin says "no pit binary". So I google it and found out that I could repartition it using a stock ROM and the correct pit file. I did that and it failed as well. So I turn to keis and do the firmware and initialization thingy, that ends up failing too. So I go back to odin and try to flash stock firmware but it fails after " writing NAND " thingy or it fails saying "cannot open specified file" or "no pit file ". What can I do.[emoji27]

Hey bud. Are you trying to flash a pit file and firmware or just firmware. And is it a N910T and if so on what build of firmware..? Send a screenshot of download mode...and also try to rename the extracted firmware file from .md5 to .tar and try to flash
Its a N910T and its on 5.1.1, i read on another XDA thread that to repartition something you need stock firmware (which I have a 5.1.1 one) and the right pit file (I have the N910T one) and that in odin put the extracted firmware file and on pit put the pit file. I did that and it failed. And how would I rename the file ... Would I just rename it on the file explorer on windows?

First it was a pit file and firmware, but now I'm trying to unbrick it by flashing just firmware on odin since keis doesn't seem to help. And yes it is an N910T, dont know the exact build but it is 5.1.1 ( would flashing a different 5.1.1(for the n910t) build matter or not, since its still 5.1.1 ?)
Yea if your on dok2 you can't go back to anything under that. It will fail every time. What firmware build u got

I dont know... The latest one ( the update for stage fright was the last update I had installed on there. Since it's soft bricked ( the connect to kies message) I can't tell what the exact build was... I just know its a 5.1.1 build.)
