Okay, I just installed SS3.75 but when I go to the recovery, it shows older version 3.72. I understand that I have TWRP2.7.0.0, how should I change that? Thanks very much!!!

HELP

I'm trying to follow these directions. When I download Odin it keeps installing all kinds of Crap on my computer. Installs all kinds of Malware and never installs Odin.

Where do I get a clean copy of Odin?

Ok i think i mislead you a bit..bear with as I have a developer edition and flashing is a bit different.

Assuming you are on stock NC4, rooted, with latest kitkat safestrap installed, try this...

Boot into safestrap recovery

Wipe data factory/reset

Flash alliance rom

Reboot into download mode from safestrap

Flash this stock NC2 kernel in the AP/PDA slot of odin. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358549122

Reboot
Thanks for this. Really helped me out. Was trying to install objective rom and was getting a black screen after reboot. Followed your instructions and was finally able to get my phone to boot up. THANK YOU!

If you odin back to stock NC4 with pitfile there will be no safestrap recovery. Again reflash the full NC4 firmware that is over 1gb w/ pitfile, uncheck auto reboot, pull and insert battery, three finger into stock recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. Wait 5-10min the device should boot up.
Just double checking, I'm presently running Alliance Rom with safestrap 3.72, but I'd like to go back to stock NC4 without safestrap, all I need to do is ODIN these 2 files, the NC4 tar file and the Pit file from step # 2, right?:confused:
