First, a HUGE thanks goes to @garwynn for being my partner through all of this and then to @sfhub for teaching me how to create an Odin One-Click.exe, @Skunk Ape1 for posting the original TAR this is based off of, @MoHoGalore for helping test and put together so many of these one-clicks and to everyone else in our community who makes this possible!

Second, I was asked to make this one-click to help simplify the process of restoring a stock factory build for our Note 3 users. I do not own a Note 3 so I have not been able to test this as I would normally prefer to do before releasing. I do however feel comfortable that it should work as designed. Due to the fact that we do not have a Note 3 to be testing it on, at this time neither myself or Garwynn are planning on releasing a rooted One-Click. There is a lot more risk involved when building the rooted versions and we don't want to take that risk with other people's phones.

This Odin One-Click.exe contains the Stock SM-N900P MJ4 Bootloader, Kernel, Modem and ROM for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P). Yes, that means this comes with the full Knox Bootloader.

There has been no change to the ROM from the initial build released by Samsung.

This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the Odin flash count.

This one-click resets your whole phone to the stock MJ4 experience, similar to a factory restore and it will probably wipe all data. It also contains the full bootloader and Knox.


Instructions:
1: Backup anything important and Disable any PINs.
During this process your phone's software will be returned to the Stock setup. All system data will be lost. To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or Dropbox.

2: Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary).
Samsung Drivers Download Link

3: Download the MJ4 Stock ROM One-Click.
SM-N900P MJ4 Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe (Resets user data)

4: Unzip One-Click ROM using 7zip (this package is a self-extracting exe you should just be able to double-click on it after download and it will do the rest).

5: Start the Odin One-Click.
Navigate to the location where the "SPH-N900P MJ4 Full Restore (Unrooted).exe" was saved upon extract from the 7Zip archive.
Double-click on "SPH-N900P MJ4 Full Restore (Unrooted).exe". *On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.

6: Place phone in Download Mode.
- Power phone completely off.
- Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
- Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
- Press [Volume Up] to enter Download mode.

7: Connect USB cable to PC and phone.
Odin should show a yellow COM port in the second column. If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the Odin One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting Odin One-Click.

8: Start Odin flash process.
Press [Start].

9: Complete - PASS!
Status should change to green PASS! At this point your phone should automatically reboot.

Android Instructions:
Download and install ZArchiver on your phone. Use it to unpack the Odin One-Click 7zip self-extracting exe file (long press on the 7zip exe. Select "Open As Archive". Select the One-Click.exe and then select Extract). Use Mobile Odin to Open File on the "SPH-N900P MJ4 Full Restore (Unrooted).exe". FYI - Modem will not flash with Mobile Odin.

The boot process will take slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the Sprint 4G logo screen.

Congratulations! You've flashed the Factory Restore MJ4 build!

I'm confused on the android steps. I've completed the PC part with the phone in download mode, I have the zarchiver installed, but where do I find the file I need on my phone?

Please help, thanks!

someone correct me if im wrong. but if you have completed the pc steps. you should be done. the android verison of this is doing what you just did on the pc but on your phone.

but as noted on orginal post. using thru android it doesn't come with modem so u would have to search the xda thread for the stock mj4 note 3 modem. and also flash that. a harder process but once you get the hang of it can really helps while on the fly.


but also today I unrooted my phone back to stock mj4 to see if the update has came out for my phone yet. if you get an error that you was unable to do a system update because of the phone being modified. online it tells you to go to stock recovery and do a factory reset. this didn't help for me. but what did was using odin again and flashing tht stock tar again. then I was back to official and able to check for my system update. But no update yet for me? :crying:

not to beat a dead horse kor but this "Going back to 4.3" has been TALKED about all over the forums. Hence the reason why most of the kit kat rom threads are so short..not many activity on them..Most people are going AOSP for their 4.4.2 thrills cause you can easily nandroid back to 4.3 rom..I'm definitely not officially kitkating until there's a sure method of going back (If ever possible) to 4.3 ..Kit kat just looks so UGLY in my honest opinion..LOL..Good luck with it though..

I appreciate your post, and find it to be a good launch-point for some observations of my own. What is to follow was merely sparked by what you wrote, and is not by any means a response to it. Free association if you will.

Sprint Note 3 TouchWiz KitKat has been talked about for more than 7 weeks...

It started 52 days ago here on 30 January 2014, with the NA4 leak engineering build...yet no one would blame a dev or themer whom did not want to dive into the hard work of rom development with a leak. Kind of like doing restoration work on a house you are renting...seems like wasted effort.

It then obtained an official tar release on 20 February 2014, 21 days later, or 31 days ago, which was simultaneous with the ROM's official push from Sprint.

It was also DeOdexed and Odexed on that same date, which by my measuring stick is the official date that development work began. The base stock thread from which all TouchWiz ROM development work springs began 6 October 2013, with the DeOdex and Odex versions of MI5; it is now 137 pages/1360+ posts and counting, with the official NABD rom base being deployed on page 49, so thus 70% of the thread is KitKat, 30% is Jellybean...quite a feat in one-month's period.

Since 20 February 2014, we've attained...
-->Hotspot
-->4-1 reboot
-->Boot animations
-->Themes for stock roms that work well and look stunning to some
-->Mature, stable roms that are each unique in their own way, either by look, performance, or both
***IMHO, more roms does not mean better....it is the quality of the roms on-hand that I highly value
-->Native call recording that does not yield static but actually records calls (something our dev community seems to have accomplished in faster time than most)
-->Ported roms
***XNote
***I'm personally testing as of this writing a ported T-Mobile rom that is blazing fast and is a wonderful experience overall
-->Universal porting script for this phone (not unique to XDA by any means, but surely unique to this device)
-->ROM that actually performs settings behind the scenes during install, much the way the carriers release rom updates en masse, something truly groundbreaking, the significance of which we can only imagine, but it is a major milestone
***And so much more to come

When I look at the trajectory of development for this phone's version of KiKat, I am proud of both our devs and also our users.

Compare it further to the days of MJ4, and the full host of stable roms from the first DeOdex release, and I'd say we are running ahead of schedule (we are, just have a look for yourself).

So while the hard work is being lain by the folks here doing the heavy lifting, I highly encourage all to make a choice that is right for them. One individual's undesirable-ugly rom may be another's must-have. I'll defer to each user as to whether they may choose to upgrade. I personally started 54 days ago, when I could go back, and yet I wouldn't go back if you paid me.

I would add that some of those short-length threads to which you allude are deceiving, inasmuch as half of the discussion of the KitKat version of a given rom was being discussed in the MJ4/JB 4.3 version of same.

I choose not to imbibe AOSP 4.4.2, though I admire them greatly, and yet comparing it to TouchWiz KitKat seems rather an apples-to-oranges endeavor. One will not experience KitKat on the Note 3 as it was intended unless one takes in the manufacturer's version of same. They are just different. I'm unclear how thrilling AOSP is to some, or if one could aver with any degree of certainty if the majority has chosen not to upgrade.

In a few weeks, it is not a choice, as the phones will be leaving the stores already loaded with KitKat (upgrade already pre-installed). And for them, they ain't going back. And they will be here, hopefully as thrilled as I with the wide variety of options gifted to us by the incredible creativity of our fine community.

Lol®

Excellent! This is definitely an easy way to flash back to stock on those days when you just don't think and do something stupid that fubars your Note 3. I did have an issue... once I flashed and rebooted, my Note 3 got stuck at the Sprint logo screen. Reflashed and same problem... Did the vol up + home + power, then pressed volume down to reboot phone, same issue. I decided to go into recovery and wipe dalvic cache, then rebooted phone... it worked, the ol Note 3 booted up and started initial setup. Don't know if there was coincidence involved, but I thought I'd throw that in there just in case somebody else runs into the same problem.
