I'm trying to update my stock ND3 to a stock NG3 by using the recovery mode. I can't seem to find the original OTA file anywhere.
Thanks in advance!

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.
Okay so i was going to install the rooted Lollipop but now the phone is stuck on the custom with unlocked lock screen after deleting the system and data to install but instead of installing i hit reboot and now i dont know what to do?? how do i get back into Safestrap recovery or is there another way to install the rooted Lollipop rom or even put back my 4.4.4 rooted rom?
I did the same thing. If you managed to install the 5.0 boot loader you're ****ed(I did). But if you haven't you can flash back to 4.4.2 using Odin to regain use of the device. Search the forum for the .tar. I'd link you but I'm on mobile.

No i did not install anything. I deleted my data, system, cache on the phone. I did backup all my data on my SD card on my computer so I do have the backup but I dont know how to restore to that backup without going into Safestrap. I can only get into download mode. I was on the OTA 1 rooted 4.4.4.

Downgrade to NCE Tar, flash in ODIN(download mode)
I am guessing I will have to install SM-G900A 4.4.2 G900AUCU1ANCE Firmware.rar via Odian and start from fresh??
EDIT:
Is this what i am looking for, G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar just flash this in Odin?
G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar
Input the extracted file into AP in ODIN and flash away. You will then be on NCE 4.4.2. Allow the OTA to NG3 then follow the steps to downgrade the Kernel to ND3 to allow root with Towelroot. Flash back up to NG3 Kernel. Install SU, Busybox and Safestrap. Then you can do the method to install the rooted backup image for 5.0.
Okay so i am installing G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar now. After its done would i have to root and install safestrap and then install the rooted Lollipop via safestrap? or is there a quicker way?

Hey guys help my, i was on 5.0 then tried to downgrade. Now i get a fail message when i try to flash anything on odin. Is there a 5.0 Ap i could try flashing? I have no safestrap or root so i cant flash zip files.
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone.
I followed the instructions regarding the use of Safestrap to upgrade to 5.0 and keep root. Detailed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoca-5-0-keeproot-t3076803 However, I did not flash this file " G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions_wOA1_BL" I had downloaded a previous file called " G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions" which I assume did not have the OA1 BL in it.
After I completed those steps, the phone was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S5 splash screen. I then flashed the stock NCE ROM to start over but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I tried wiping the system through the stock recovery but no good. I can still access Download Mode and Recovery. I didn't get any errors when flashing the files via Odin. Any ideas? Thanks.
Here's what I have tried:
Flashed NG3 kernel
Flashed OA1 kernel
Flashed OC4 kernel
Applied NCE to NG3 update via ext-sdcard
Nothing is working...
So here is my issue, I rooted my G900A and was running the 100% stock rooted NG3 ROM by Muniz. Few days back, I woke up to find some error on my phone it crashed. So I Odin the NG3 rooted back but and it installed fine but when it booted up the ROM it had the factory mode enabled.
So, I went back to ANCE using the downgrade to NCE and even installing the complete stock firmware. It will work fine on NCE firmware, no factory mode and everything works. But as soon as I install NG3 or any other version it will boot up in factory mode and I'm unable to get out of factory mode. Data will not work either.
Would request someone to guide me to get this sorted out.
Thanks
Hello,
right now I am using the 5.1.1 update +CM 12 nightly on my SM-N910T but I want to return to the stock COG2 5.0.1. At the moment the phone is rooted and using TWRP recovery. How do I flash the stock tar file I have downloaded? I can use Odin so a step by step guide will be of great help. Mainly I want to know what to do with TWRP and SuperSu after im done flashing the stock rom, and in what order I should do the whole process.
Thank you in advance!
