If you use odin you can flash a recovery then in recovery flash mc2 stock with counter reset and you will be good.

1. You can flash any recovery or rom, but you can not use odin to do this stock rom. It will try to change the bootloader and will fail.
2. For qpst. I cant help you there sorry but hopefully someone else can.

I tried flash (from 4.4.2) the MA7 ROM found here:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.ph...Restore/Rooted
But when I tried to flash it using the ODIN, it failed with RED warning "SW REV. Invalid magic string."
I googled but no related clues.
Is the above place the right one where I shall get the MA7 ROM?
Now I cannot even enter the recovery.
Please advice.
Thanks.
The issue is you cant downgrade bootloader through odin. You would need a modified tar that does not have the bootloader. Why exactly are you wanting to flash ma7? It is a very old release.

Because I'm in process of Mod the SPH-L900 to be able to take GSM carriers like TMO/ATT

And I was instructed to do MA7 since it appears to be the one contains all the modems, if I understand right.
I sympathise, but when dealing with technical stuff, the direct link isn't just for convenience of a direct download. It's really also a form of most accurate documentation. A link to a page that may have more than on link on it isn't as explicit as a link to a specific file. You could say "go here, scroll down to xx, look for the blue thing, it's the 2nd link thst says yyy" but the actual link is both more succcinct and impossible to screw up.
Ideally you should have both so the user can see the info about the file instead of just a file by itself as if it came from the air, so -just- the direct link isn't ideal either.
Lastly you can never control external links. Each person can still favorite the direct link and use it 50 times regardless if they are ever posted in posts. So if the metrics actually matter then you need to figure out a better metric solution. You can't control what happens out in the restvof the world. Maybe put some javascript in the page and change the download into a cgi that requires post data that only the page provides? Or actually, if the download were really a cgi then the direct link would be no problem any more, it could be counted just as well as the parent page.
