[Q][ODIN][FIRMWARE][4.4.2][i537]Odin files request

I'm requesting someone find the Odin files to flash to an i537 model for KitKat 4.4.2, as I can't find it anywhere. If I can't, I'll go to Samsung at Best Buy and uh..... Ask for the Odin files(they use Odin there XD)
Please help as ODIN is the only way I have been able to update, OTAs fail and recovery install from cache, external SD fails. Everything but Odin fails, so anybody help?

Thanks!!!

Have you tried flashing the 4.3 firmware then flashing the OTA? At this time I don't think they have released a full Odin 4.4.2

Yeah, I tried it all my friend, I need the Odin files.

yes i too in fact need the odin files asap. I know nobody likes being asked for ETA's but how long does it usually take to get the ODIN files?

Considering we never got the Odin files for MF2 or MF3, we may never get Odin files for NC9.

Just do a hard reset (VOL+/HOME/POWER), boot your phone then do a Factory reset from within the phone with selecting format SD card option (back your stuff up!). Then go back, enable USB debugging and flash the stock ML2 firmware EXCEPT for the BL file! then re-enable USB debugging and download the 2400258.cfg file from here, rename it to update.zip and flash it via stock recovery, problem solved. As for the ODIN files, here's a good read on why @Devo7v is right with his assessment on not ever seeing them. More info on the stock SGH-i537 firmware here.

How are you forcing the update through Odin? We don't have the Odin files for 4.4.2, so I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you can only flash the 4.3 files with Odin and you cannot get the cfg file to flash through stock recovery?

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I forced 4.3 through ODIN and the cfg file doesn't work, in all possible ways. And it won't work when renamed to update.zip either.

Did you check the MD5 to make sure that it downloaded properly? My suggestion would be to download it with a computer, rename it to "update.zip" on a computer, copy it to your internal memory on the phone, and flash it through stock recovery. This should work, what errors do you get when you try to flash it? You're on stock 4.3 when you try to update, correct? In order to flash the OTA you cannot be rooted or have modified the system in any way.

Good advice and I'll further add make sure when you rename the 2400258.cfg that you have known file extensions enabled and then right click and highlight the entire file "2400258.cfg" and then rename that to "update.zip"
Trust us, this will work.

Thank you. UPDATE-
I checked, my Baseband version and Build Number don't match.... MF1 vs. ML2. So that could be presenting some of the problem. I'm going to try to find a partition file for stick 4.3 then rehash everything through ODIN and attempt an update. Any other suggestions anyone?

Did you ever figured this out? I'm having the same issue. Can't update using the cfg file.

Just my quess but the OP and others in this thread have possibly problem understanding relationship of Odin with Stock Recovery
If your phone is stock 4.3 and you have the 444 MB update renamed to update.zip already moved over to microSD card.....

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens

Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.

i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?

I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?

I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.

man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

Phone showed 5.0.1 update ready but went to twrp

So my phone is rooted with unlocked bootloader running faux kernel. I just received the ota update and clicked the button for restart and install. When I did that it brought me to my main option list in twrp. I didn't know what to do so I hit reboot system. It rebooted but nothing showed updating when I did that. Showing I'm still on 5.0.0.
What did I need to do? How do I still update now?

You cannot accept ota if you're modified.
You'll have to flash a ROM.zip or fastboot flash system.and boot image.from the factory images

If you download the image from google there is a zip drive with the files you are looking for inside of them. You can fastboot them individually.

Or you could just flash one of the many roms on here that are using the newer 5.0.2

Give Sinless rom a try. There is a thread on here for it. It is based off of the office 5.0.1 image and not aosp. Great speed and features and decrypted

[How-To] Unbrick or Flash Back to Stock(NCE) - G900A Only

***The steps below will work on all Bootloader versions except OC4(Android 5.0), Do not use this process if you have taken the OC4 ota update!***
1. Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar and extract the .tar.
2. Go into Download Mode by pressing and holding the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys on your device until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key.
3. Flash the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Note: The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!
Attention! If you have taken the OC4 ota update and need to unbrick after attempting to downgrade try flashing the: G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions

So why is it that the g900a is the only gs5 that can't downgrade from 5.0? even Verizon can???

I had a different Downgrade to NCE file. Tried this one and my phone is back up and running. Phew!! Thanks so much!!

Is it safe to flash over ND3? I'm not recieving any ota. Will I receive Ota After flashing this?

For some reason. i tried to unbrick my phone from the rooted stock firmware 5.0 and it ended up with the boot loop. Already tried the downgrade to NCE. Now it gets worse because all I can see so far is the logo of ATT and that's it. Anyone could help me out with that???

I'm sure you probably already tried this but if not pull the battery for a few seconds and then try going back into download mode and try the process again.
How did you upgrade to 5.0 (which method) You may have to provide more detail, there are a lot people who have way more knowledge than I do, but I hope this helps
Good luck and give the forums a search

Thanks for the reply! I actually upgraded to 5.0 by the flashfire method since before that I already got the rooted 4.4.4. Just yesterday, when I left my phone for a while and came back, it started to stick with the bootloop, , the only method which could help it out is to plug it into the power source. I tried everything which includes removing battery and wiping factory downgrading, flashing original firmware, reinstalling the OTA 5.0 update through sdcard. None of that worked. If you have any information to help me out,I would be way happy to listen! Thank you !

I've had this same problem. Are you still bootlooping?

Thank you so much for this. Worked perfectly for a downgrade from 4.4.4. You're the best!
Currently installing updates OTA.

Hi muniz, I posted in your KeepRoot for 5.0 thread and then I saw this one. My phone seems to have spontaneously softbricked (system crashes and then it bootloops). Will flashing the stock 5.0 make me lose root?

Is the new update N910TUVS2EQE2 rootable?

I woke up and my phone had a message saying it was ready to update to N910TUVS2EQE2. Has anybody updated and rooted this fw yet?

I also recieved the update, I won't update for that reason. But the notification is annoying.

It's been forever since I had rooted my phone, finally updated, then had this update and installed it while it was still unrooted. But now I want to root the phone, so no one has tried it yet? Only thing I've noticed with this version is it seemed to have tried to keep a connection via wifi instead of bluetooth to my watch, which lead both of them to have some serious battery drain.
Now that I've set it back to bluetooth, let's see how well it does. The watch (Gear S2 Classic 3G) had to be charged twice in one day, it was terrible.

Unless T-Mobile has suddenly reversed a long-standing policy and locked the bootloader on a previously unlocked device (something I have not ever heard of for any device), you can still flash TWRP recovery from Odin and then flash SuperSU from recovery, which does not modify the system partition. This should just be a minor security update for Marshmallow and not an update to Nougat, which would have much bigger compatibility consequences but which should still be rootable by the above method.

I can confirm it's rootable. I just installed it this weekend, upgrading from 4.4.4 finally. I've got SmoresV1 ROM installed over it, Xposed up and running, all good so far.

Would be great if we could get a nougat release.

Yes, pretty much: I ODIN flashed QE2, did a factory restore from stock recovery (to clear out KK bits), ODINed CQ Auto Root, ODINed TWRP, and then flashed Smores ROM from TWRP. I was exclusively on FireKat ROMs since I got the phone 2.5 years ago, and Smores is by the same developer. Very lightly modded stock version of ROM.

The Gear watch battery drain problem likely isn't related to the phone update.
We've had the same problem with the Gear S3. After weeks of running fine, my S3 would do the same thing. We've been having to hard reset the watch to fix the problem.

anyone getting better or worse signal with the QE2? .... feedback?

I've looked everywhere in the threads and can't find an answer, hope you all can help.

I unlocked the phone with the code from TMO but can't get past the loader to flash anything. Happy to provide futher details but any help would be very appreciated.

It was the USB cable. Tried different cable and port. Tada.

The Gear watch battery drain problem likely isn't related to the phone update.
We've had the same problem with the Gear S3. After weeks of running fine, my S3 would do the same thing. We've been having to hard reset the watch to fix the problem.

That did seem to help, and oddly enough one of the watch faces I'd bought that wouldn't install now installs and works fine.

Follow up. I'm able to flash TWRP. Made a backup but when I try to flash a new ROM I get error 6, error 7, or zip file errors in TWRP. When I try to flash ROM in Odin it crashes. Ideas? Is the build the issue?
