Galaxy Mega 6.3 Sprint Version : SPH-L600 Stock firmwares with root: Flashable Zips topic

I do not own this phone.

This thread will provide custom recovery ( CWM/TWRP ) flashable zip files of the stock frmware without knox software. This way you need not upgrade using OTA and hence will be able to move between stock and custom firmware if need to.

If you use OTA to upgrade to the latest firmware, your bootloader will be upgraded to facilitate knox. Once updated there is no going back. The roms in this thread will help you overcome this issue.

The only prerequisite is that you are not already running a knox enabled bootloader. You can find this out by going into the download mode and checking if knox entries are shown.

You will have the following advantages.

• Bootloader is not touched, hence any compatible rom can be flashed, including custom roms


• Only Samsung knox files are removed


• Root & Busybox


• Stock kernel

Procedure

• Download the Odin version of Philz recovery or my custom twrp recovery and flash.


• Reboot to recovery first else custom recovery will be replaced by stock recovery.


• Flash the ROM zip file


• Reboot and Njoy...

As an additional step, you can flash the modem that comes with the ROM. The procedure to flash the modem is given below.

• Use Odin v3.04


• Untick Autoreboot


• Flash modem


• Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)


• Flash Modem once more


• Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.


• If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

Stock firmwares topic

I remember in the old days when you could download stock firmwares for free but it now seems that whenever you click a download link you are pushed to a payment method to down load a stock firmware even on sammobile or could anyone point me in the right direction , ive been trying to download a copy of the BTU-N9005XXUDMK2 with no luck at all . thanks in advance:(

Anybody want firmwares mirrored? topic

Hi all,

A lot of the Samsung firmwares have to be downloaded from terafile, which is very slow! Thus, I have purchased a terafile premium account. Therefore, I can host the files on a fast server.

Let me know if you'd like any firmwares hosted...
