Here are ODIN flashable, signed stock recovery images. Need to install an OTA but have TWRP, CWM, or some other custom recovery installed? You've come to the right place. Flash the recovery image from the version you're trying to update and you're good to go.

Noob question - which slot do we put this in to flash in ODIN? AP? I've never flashed just a recovery before.
(I'm in v3.09 so my options are PIT, BL, AP, CP, CSC, and UMS appears greyed out).
Thanks!
Edit - I'm an idiot. I did flash TWRP a long time ago and used PDA, which appears to have been renamed to AP. I would assume all recoveries will be flashed in PDA/AP so you can ignore my question.
Flash MFD Stock Recovery
I have been trying to install the OTA 4.3 and beyond. The phone keeps nagging me about installing 4.3 but it always fails. I figured out that it probably fails because I am running TWRP recovery. I downloaded the MFD Stock Recovery from SamuriHL's post to fix the stock recovery issue but I just noticed that my Baseband is I337MVLUAMDJ. That appears to be part of a Canadian firmware? My Kernel Version is 3.4.0-440244, [email protected] #160, Tue Jun 11 02:07:59 CDT 2013. I don't know if this kernel and baseband goes with the MFD Build. SamuriHL can you explain if this configuration is correct? The phone seems to work without issues in this configuration except for not being able to do OTA updates.
My question: Should I download and install the full stock firmware and recovery so the phone is completely stock? If so, SamuriHL can you supply a link to the complete firmware so I can make it a full stock phone?
I really appreciate your help. :fingers-crossed:
You should look in the forum. I've already provided the full stock images.

Need stock for Good For Enterprise - Unroot
I have Google Edition S4 in the US and need to unroot it as my work Good For Enterprise won't unlock with it rooted. I am assuming if I push one of these images, it will unroot, right? Two questions. I am unsure which one I should choose and how do I get back to 4.4.4 so I can get OTA updates in the future?
Sorry Partial Noob.

Um, nope. This won't help you in the least. You should install SuperSU from the play store and then use it's full unroot option.
NL3 recovery from 5.0.0 Lollipop uploaded.
Recovery for latest versions updated.
Background: I had updated to OA1 4.4.4 on s5 900A. I had some issues, so I decided to downgrade as described in the upgrade thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120.
I would downgrade by flashing in odin the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar, as well as the G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel, rerooting with towelroot, installing safestrap, and flashing one of the many 4.4.2 roms.
However, upon boot all of the 4.4.2 roms would be laggy, I would sometimes get a green/pixilated effect on the lockscreen when unlocking, and battery life would be sub par. I came across this app on play store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en , and even though I had downgraded the kernel, the bootloader read as OA1, even after flashing in Odin the ND3 stock kernel.
I believed that was causing the issues I was having, and was under the impression that the bootloader could not be downgraded. In a fit of frustration I did the following, and fixed the problem!
Solution:
This is not a step by step, but a rough approximation of what I did, if you need more detail, just ask.
1. I downloaded and put on my SD card G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934525665
2. In odin 3.09 I flashed G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464416,
3. Also in the AP slot I flashed G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464356
3. My phone was unrooted at this time. I let it boot up, downloaded the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to the phone from the playstore, opened and my bootloader remained OA1. The camera was normal, and the boot was slow, so I was where I was many times before.
4. I shut down the phone, I rebooted holding volume up, power and start until I got to the standard, built in samsung recovery.
5. I located my download of G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip, and flashed it via the samsung recovery. It took about 5 minutes.
6. The phone rebooted, and the phone info app said I had and NG3 baseband! It had downgraded! However, towel root was not compatible.
7. I flashed in odin G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel again. Now towelroot rooted the phone. I installed busybox and superuser from the playstore, then safestrap again.
Now I can flash any of the 4.4.2 roms, none of the slowbooting, stuttering lockscreen or battery issues seem to be present, and Phone INFO ★Samsung★ has my baseband and bootloader as NG3.
All credit goes to muniz_ri, these are all his tools! I just stumbled across this method and thought others might benefit.
I can confirm this.
I was on OA1 after flashing OA1 OTA zip from recovery.
Later, I downgraded by flashing G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar. Bootloader after this was OA1.
Flashed G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip from recovery. Bootloader and baseband changed to NG3.
Bootloader and Baseband version was verified using 'phone info' app from play store.

Likewise, just did it, I found with me, the OTA zip file would not install with the ND3 kernel installed. So I did the original odin downgrade to NCE, booted, then the OTA zip file, booted, Then the ND3 kernel Tar file in odin. Worked .Good luck:good:
so the nce to ng3 downgrade goes in the ap or BL?

NCE. to NG3. OTA zip is done in original recovery by pressing power + volume up + home key. Then install update from Sd external.

was on Muniz 5.0, downgraded to xtreme dynamic kitkat. Still had oa1 bootloader, and was laggin really bad on boot.
Flashed this in stock recovery (wipes data part ) and reloaded my apps.
All seems to be well, without the need to go back to stock in between.
Thank you - this totally worked for me and got rid of the lag in my 4.4.2 ROM (XDK) as I had taken the upgrade to 4.4.4 way back when!
Hi,
do you do step 2 & 3 at the same time?
which field in Odin do you put the .tar file?
Thanks,

I'm not sure. Sounds like the reactivation was locked before you downgraded. I'm not sure how to fix that.

Yeah, cause if you root on 4.4.4...after you take the OTA...you lose root...so, might as well take the update first then root. If you are going to be using a custom ROM, you can just skip the root part and just go straight into getting a custom recovery...then just flash a custome ROM, which will of course already be rooted.

Yeah, that just means to use Odin to flash the Auto Root file (it roots the COD6 Stock ROM from step 1). It's the same process as flashing the COD6 file. Check out the first Stickied Post in the General section....by @TEKHD. A very easy to follow guide with links to all the files you need.
My phone won't boot past the att logo screen. I have been running a custom mi9 jellybean rom since early last year. I decided to upgrade to jellybean finally. I wiped and flashed carl1961's deodexed rom and super su both of which were successful. I tried flashing the oc1patch firmware that was next in his instructions but it failed. I decided to continue on with the next instruction and flash the oc2 firmware file, it was successful. Then I rebooted from SS reboot menu. The "galaxy note 3" screen comes on and hangs for a while goes away and comes back on for a while. Then the att logo screens starts and freezes. That's as far as it gets. I'd like to either restore my backup from SS or upgrade to LP w/root. Do I use Walter whites Odin files to get LP? Or Odin to KK, root, then upgrade to LP? TIA!!!

The best way to upgrade to OC1/OC2 (atleast with the least probabilities of a bootloop occurring) is to first flash NC2 wipe tars via odin and then flashing carl1961's OC2 deodexed rom (with SuerSU).
1. Download the NC2 odin flashable files from https://mega.nz/#F!wg5wRQrQ!vR7a6pze9dgSWjbaRSyhWA (Caution: These are wipe tars and will format the phone's internal storage, so backup everything from the phone memory). Flash them via odin, and your phone will boot into NC2 KitKat.
2. Once the phone boots up and you've completed the crappy startup questions, install towelroot (https://towelroot.com/) and root your phone. Install supersu and busybox from playstore and install them. Download and install safestrap (Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03.apk)
3. Download carl1961's rom and a few other things:
The rom (https://mega.nz/#!qc8QHI6T!_8x88BL-ivTM0yj5uhbmNITernym8HMr2VKJJZB9JeE)
OC1 Patch Firmware (https://mega.nz/#!fQ8nSbbA!qzw9IzKf6BzwY0IOHGjGFOmV1QgWoYv-AV4NsjyuiT8)
OC2 Patch Firmware (https://mega.nz/#!iF8xBS6Z!XQNgLscWM5SOOddlkunQYBCQp2QO03raEMN91sF1g34)
Xposed Framework (optional) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3454433&d=1440761913)
SuperSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3478515&d=1442612185)
Optional OC2 fixes/addons from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development/8-24-15-t3185574
4. Boot into safestrap and follow the following steps:-
Factory wipe
Flash ROM
Flash SuperSU
Flash Xposed (optional)
Flash OC1 patch firmware
Flash OC2 patch firmware
Flash OC2 Addons/Fixes
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot

For backing up your internal memory, you need to dirty flash with a stock firmware (ie. a non-wipe odin flashable NC2 tar). Download it from here: bit.ly/1q98wGU, and flash this in the AP section of Odin, keep all others (BL, CP and CSC) empty. This way, the flashing won't erase the phone's internal memory. Although I think it factory resets and erases your apps (and their data), but doesn't erase user downloaded/added data.
