[ROM][TAR] Stock NAE Odin flashable

random45 · Feb 27, 2014

You will get the KNOX bootloader if you flash this.
YOU CANNOT UNDO THIS, ITS PERMANENT. FLASHING ANYTHING UNOFFICIAL AFTER FLASHING THIS TAR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY

Just the NAE FULL stock tar. This post was updated and is now the same file that can be downloaded from SamMobile. Others said that they had reboot issues with the other one.

EDIT: I updated it to the same one that can be downloaded from SamMobile (2/28/14)

md5 of the tar that can be downloaded below(SamMobile): a77570534e22fce0745edb09994c84f2
md5 of the previous Tar that people had issues with: 4c18677fd81fd467ea9356b3da7274fb

Do NOT rename the tar file. Even though it may be convenient to do so, Odin may fail the md5 check for no reason.
(L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_L720VPUFNAE_HOME.tar.md5)
This is NOT ROOTED. Its the original TAR file for people who need an Emergency Recovery for their phones, and dont want to wait hours for it to download from slow file hosts.

Mediafire

FileDropper

Over 2630 downloads and counting!

Instructions:
1. Download and Extract tar above and download Odin
2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)
3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)
4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot
5. Start flashing
6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while
7. Profit

If this is the same .rar file that came from the Mega site it has some bull**** going on with it. It does some weird crap when you load it up. Factory resets itself, and a few other things. Then it reboots randomly. It rebooted my device randomly and I couldn't flash anything for hours. I finally got it working again, but now I have problems flashing other stock ROM's. Where did you get this? From that Mega download site? I noticed that any reference to that download in any thread was deleted. I'll be surprised if this one stays up.

EDIT: Yes, this is the exact same file. I just extracted it and compared them. They both show that they were modified on 2-14-2014 at 22:16:11

the mk2 tar i posted a while ago also did the same thing. A reboot after running it in the first hour. Im guessing Samsung did that on purpose because after that restart, it would work completely fine. I flashed that tar several times, and that random reboot happened once, each time. I dont know where I had gotten this from, it might have been mega link. danzelcool asked me for it, and since I didnt see a thread decided to go ahead and post it. Why couldnt you "flash anything for hours?"

The file is very much like the Android 4.3 tars (both for the S4 and S3), and unlike any of the previous tar before that, so I'm pretty sure thats how Samsung is buiding these files now. I dont know what the random reboot is for, but apparently its for something.

I'm not sure what happened. I may have jacked it up by pulling the battery when it randomly rebooted, but for about 30 times, it wouldn't hold anything that I flashed. It was weird. It would hardly stay on the download menu. It kept turning off, and nothing would flash. I left the battery out overnight and came back the next day and messed with it some more. I was finally able to get it working again. Now it won't flash the Stock Nae rooted ROM zip that I had previously flashed and enjoyed.

danzelcool flashed it and has already reported back that it worked just fine for him, so I'm really not sure what went wrong when you tried to flash it.

I cannot root. I ran CF Auto Root through Odin went fine. Booted up and went into SU stated ""there is no su binary installed and supersu can not install it. this is a problem." Any help please?

Gabewithkungfugrip · Feb 27, 2014

Thanks for this. Since taking the NAE ota and then trying to root and install other roms after, I've been experiencing lots of issues and missing features. None of the other stock tar files would get past the bootloader image, so it's great to have one that works again. I had a random reboot during setup on the first boot, and then it did an auto factory reset when it connected to the network. On the third boot, everything was solid. I used CF Autoroot with no problems, and we're all good to go.

Same here I'm having trouble trying to root again. I ran the auto root through odin and I also keep getting the same message. Please help us out. Thanks

Hey guys this thing is legit. The cf auto root you have to use has to come straight from the chainfire repository. You cant use mirrors and ****. Get the official one from his site and make sure it is for the jfspr720 version. That name is not exact but its close.

Once you have that. Use odin and use this tar. Do not auto reboot. Uncheck it. Once the tar finishes. Boot straight back into download mode. Odin the cf root that you got from HIS SITE AND NOT YOUR OWN LAZY ASS ONE YOU ALREADY HAVE DOWNLOADED. If you use a different 1 then official dont.come.here complaining that **** didnt work. Again take off auto reboot when flashing the cf auto root. Once that is done then boot straight into recovery and let auto root work. Phone will boot.

THIS IS OFFICIAL SAMSUNG TAR. NOT SPRINT.

The phone will boot. No sprint flash screen. Just samsung logo. Then phone will do some **** in background causing it to reboot. When it boots up it will go through handsfree and then wipe the phone. The 3rd boot you are good to go. Phone will be functional and fully rooted. I know because I used titanium to restore this app. Hope this helps.

Also on the 3rd boot you will see Sprint splash screen.

CF Auto Root worked for me.

Not knocking this one because I haven't tried it but I got the usual Sprint CDMA release from SamMobile. Unlike this one, it has the usual xxxx_HOME.tar.md5 name packed into a zip. No place to host it but here's the info if anyone goes for it. Previous tars from them didn't wipe but I haven't used it yet to say it doesn't perform a mid-setup factory wipe like this one.

ponycarboy · Feb 27, 2014

You're a lifesaver!

Three days ago I upgraded to NAE on stock. After a day my phone started going crazy on google.gapps forcecloses. I missed the memo on not rolling backward, and flashed STOCK MK2. Phone has been soft-bricked since. Been phone-less for 2 days!

Flashed NAE. CF Auto Root applied just fine (using Odin of course).

The CF Autoroot for SPH-L720 on the official download page works fine.

churchey360 · Feb 27, 2014

Just flash the latest philz recovery and it has an option to root your phone through the recovery lol.
