[FULL RESTORE][TAR] Stock MK3 Odin FLASHABLE [4.3]

[CNexus]

Just the MK3 FULL stock tar extracted from Kies. Very hard to find online, and only extremely slow downloads available, so here it is


This is not rooted. I will do that soon with the root de-la-vega method. Sit tight.

Download
Link 1: Mediafire
Link 2: My site (soon)

Instructions:
1. Download tar.md5 from 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

I'll be waiting patiently.......I have a screwed up OTA to fix on the wife's phone.

Thanks for the hard work.

Now that someone with development skill has their hands on the tar which we've all been waiting for, what's the possibility of finding out how to remove Knox from the bootloader for those that have Knox at the bootloader level?

I talked to a Samsung sales rep at Best Buy today about Knox being forced down on individual consumers and he acted if he could care less about the whole situation. I told him I've been a long time Samsung customer and I'm debating on jumping ship, he just looked at me and said "If that's what you feel you have to do then do it”

I understand hes just the Samsung sales rep, you'd think he'd still care about customers buying Samsung... Guess one person leaving isn't such a big deal to him. Okay thanks for reading..
@CNexus: Thank you for all your hard work and determination, I appreciate you as I'm sure everyone else does here too..

None. At the moment anyway

A Knox 0x0 root is possible though, so I'll be doing that and then posting it up soon

That's great! Thank you again.
One last question from me, when you modify the tar will it be Knox boot loader free? I am currently enjoying your work by using the MK3 ROM you've provided to us

Thanks again.. I'll stop bothering now

Thanks for the upload!!! I can now stop spamming my update settings on my phone now I think! I appreciate the detailed instructions about Knox and what not. The newbie in me just wanted to make sure before I proceed with the flash, if I'm fully stocked on MD4 and I use the MK3 tar that was provided, it will essentially be the same as waiting for the OTA update on my phone? I wanted to make sure because Knox scares me and I don't want to trip the counter if I don't need to. I understand that once I have Knox, anything I do to my phone after will trip the counter. Thanks for taking the time to address my questions although I've tried looking in the comments and was not able to find an answer.

I'm still on 4.0.4 (Haven't updated in some ages lol) Can I go straight to this? Or do I have to go through each update individually?

Thanks for all the insane dedication CNexus....is or will there be an MK3 modem only tar in the future?

That's great! Thank you again.

Regardless of whether or not I include the bootloader, you are stuck with the MK3 bootloader if you've already updated to it.

Thank you for the info, thankfully I don't have it in my boot loader!

My Wife's phone is stuck with it :crying:

and the OTA has major problems on hers, I am really looking forward to this to make fixing her phone MUCH easier!!!!! Preferably without bricking it

Thanks again CNexus

Then in that case, when I modify the tar it will still have all the firmware, but it will be rootable without tripping Knox

@CNexus.do we know for the people that have tripped knox. If flashing the tar via odin reset knox or Not? Would be awesome if it reset counter and knox to zero.

I am trying to odin this but keep getting MD5 Hash value is invalid. I have checked MD5 sum and it's correct. What gives?

Same with me. I have downloaded 5 copies from 5 different servers and they are all invalid MD5 hash in odin.
