Ok so, I kinda effed up. Originally my Play Store among other google services had been acting up and were unusable so I was troubleshooting for a fix. I tried everything except a factory reset, so of course I do that , but as I was reseting I also lost my root. It had been awhile since I rooted my phone so I followed the steps of the video I was watching. (How to Root Galaxy Note 5 on Android 6.0/6.0.1 Marshmallow!) He happens to reformat his phone in the video so I did as well, brainfarting on the fact that I would lose my backups. I start tinkering with stuff because after factory reset in the ROM I still have no access to any of the Google services. I deleted System and was gonna re-flash/use my backups (that I thought I had) to fix everything. Well, I tried downloading the stock firmware for my model but it's not flashable via Odin as it's in ZIP form, and when I attempt unzipping I get an error, tried firmware from multiple mirrors. So I tried running a custom ROM since there is a lot more support on that now. I tried the Nemesis_V3_N7-port first, it flashed succesfully, tried booting for a solid 30 minutes or so before I shut it down and tried a different rom. I think it was then or after I flashed the latest MOAR that I started bootlooping into TWRP.
Please help!! I can normally figure this stuff out once I break it, but I've been fixing this phone for the past 12 hours and have yet to find a solution.
So you wiped your phone and have no rom? so you can either bootloop, go into twrp or go into dl mode? Right?

Well I bootloop INTO recovery mode. It says the Seandroid Enforcing in the top left corner. I was previously rooted and it had always said that but I never experienced any issues with it

you need to download the .tar file for your n920p. Then in odin click on ap and then click the .tar file. run and you should go back to stock. Then you can root again! Here yah go: https://devs-lab.com/how-to-unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-5.html
In my experience you cant do anything in twrp to save you unless you made a nandroid back up or have an extra rom. Ive done this before and I had to odin the stock firmware

I tried downloading the firmware quite a few times, it doesn't let me extract it from it's zip. I just tried 7 Zip, 9Zip, and the windows built in unzipper. Would you try downloading and extracting to tell me if you have the same issue? It comes up with an error at about 17% saying it's missing a crucial file..

Thank you Spencer, really appreciate the help. I've tried a couple other links across other similar firmware flashing forums to no avail. So if you have a problem too, it's gotta be a batch of incomplete files.

All you really need to do is re flash your twrp so it will re root the phone again! After you flash twrp you can easily use adb to push the files back to your phone. This is all I did to a phone I repaired.. You can even use fastboot flash Your920PFirmware.tar..

I FIXED IT. It was my computer, I don't know what it was and I don't care lol. But I tried the correct firmware through Odin on my other Windows PC and it worked flawlessly. If anybody runs into any issues unzipping or flashing through Odin, last resort just clean install on the pc or find another one.

I somehow screwed up a flash and now I have no OS installed but I can boot to Safestrap recovery. Any ideas on how to get the OS loaded? I'm going to see if I have an micro SD to SD converter so I can load the OS there and try to flash via external SD. Is there another way? Thanks!

I had the same issue, and tried flashing multiple times via the external SD. Unfortunately, given that I got to your current situation by wiping everything but the external SD, it still wouldn't work. I flashed multiple times, but it always just said that it couldn't mount /data and /system. I ended up doing the MJ5 Restore found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715

The home file is all 4 files in 1. Just use the 4 individual files to install original NC2 firmware and wipe at the same time. Ignore the home file.

Yes that would be correct. Using the home file is like using all 4 files only the home file doesn't wipe before installing. It installs firmware like an ota update would. I thought using the 4 files would reset you, and give you a clean install.

see if you can fix it using the link in the above post if not let me know and I will back up my stock ATT KK 4.4.2 NC2 in safe strap after factory reset and I can send it to you. You can flash that and see if that works.
And what I understand is you started from stock 4.4.2 NC2 and than you towel root than installed SU and busybox and than installed the SS . After you went into SS, did you wipe the stock rom slot? Can you please explain in detail including each step so we know.
JUst need the odin restore files. seprate if there available. reason is,i keep getting messed up DLs
i keep downloading these 4.4.2 files and none of them have what i need to fill slots in odin. i need ap bl csc and one other one but point is im downloading these 1.4 gig files and none of them have what i need. ive watched some youtube on the restore matter and it shows those guys using just one slot......the ap slot.. ive tried it and it just fails..... ive used odin more than enuff to know,you need all slots filled....... correct? and just to be clear,i was stock rooted with safestrap... nothing more... i wiped the phone via safstrap and it would not boot from there.... so i know how to restore, my problem is i cant get the correct files...

The guy was trying to help, why be rude? Anyways, it is only supposed to go into the PDA/AP section. Boot into download mode and flash it. If it fails, make sure you're using the cable from Samsung that came with your phone. If you don't have it, get one (Not a cheap one). If it happens to say fail again, please tell us what it says in that little box so we can at least know what's up. Thank you.
EDIT: Also make sure you don't have the OTA update for 5.0. Otherwise you're stuck and not downgrading any time soon.

Thanks for taking the time to help with this issue. that file didnt work, i flashed the G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions firmware and its at least working again. thanks again to everyone who looked and especially dirtydodge for taking time.
Phone is working again guys but was wondering if anyone knows why it keeps giving me this security notice pop up...says that unauthorized actions have been detected and gives me the option to restart or cancel. Sounds like it has something to do with KNOX from my searching. Trying to solve this without rooting. When i check the KNOX counter in D/L mode it says 0x0. Ive updated firmware and security updates to latest versions and it hasnt helped. Anyone have any pointers? As always any help is greatly appreciated. Searched around the web and xda and didnt find what i was looking for.
@wigglesrewind. Chances are is that the phone is still rooted and that's why your getting the notification. Go to the pay store and download "root checker" and see what it says. Also what is your version & baseband. I'm not sure why the "downgrade to nce" file didn't work for you. It might have been a bad download but you should be able to use it if your still on 0C4.
Thanks again dirtydodge for contributing. I did a check with root checker and it says root is not installed. Also used terminal emulator and get a dollar sign in the terminal, not the hash tag. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with terminal emulator. The only time I've ever gotten the notification that you talking about is when i have root apps on the phone and certain things aren't froze. But you need to be rooted and have titanium backup to freeze them. What version is on the phone.
Sorry, forgot to add that in the last post...
Baseband version oc4

Ok well it sounds like your on the latest firmware version. The phone may still have a trace of root somewhere. After you flashed the oc4 Kernel did you do a factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure what to do. But that does explain why you can't use the "downgrade to nce" file. The oc4 build can not be downgraded. I'd do a factory reset from the stock recovery menu and then wipe the cache. If that don't fix it then I'm out of options. Lol. Hope this helps.
Ive tried everything you mentioned except wiping the cache so I'll give that a try. Cross your fingers for me!
you flashed oc4 firmware which is why your baseband is oc4 (baseband is modem.)
What you need to do is download and odin a full odin tar file.. this will wipe everything clean and make it brand new...

If i were to find a full tar file would i just use the ap box in odin or would i have to do it differently? Usually those full dowloads have multiple files in them (BL and whatever the other ones are... CS maybe? Cant remember and not near the computer right now. Is that what your talking about?

Yup.. youre build is of3 or w.e which to my knowledge not downgradeable.. if you dont plan on keeping it rooted then you can flash latest full tar in odin using the AP slot..
I would recommend trying the oc full tar first if you plan on rerooting it.. the full tar will have multiple files including system, csc, boot etc.

Thanks alot! I'll find a full tar on here and odin it and see if that fixes it

Yes it does say that at the bottom. I'm in the process of trying to sell it as I don't have the time right now to deal with it. But if its something simple I can download to fix I would. As I also don't have home Internet all download are through my carrier
Oh then its really easy, reflash latest software via odin with the 4 files. In options tab make sure you select the clean efs folder and there you go my friend

Yes, I took it into a store and they flashed it for me. The only problem is the efs folder is corrupt and I don't have an imei number and have to manually connect to my carrier, also there's a battery drain
I went to codeworks page:
There are 4 files for the x522 in firmware and 4 in modems. I am assuming the "19s" firmware is for India so is the "20s" for the US?
But the 4 files in the modem section is confusing, which one/one's are for the US model x522? here is the link for the modems https://host.llamasweet.tech/codeworkx/lineage/s2/
Thanks

Oh you mean flash that entire rom? And will that install the bootloader and modem? In any case, i tried flashing those files but they won't flash, any suggestions?
Since those roms won't flash i had to look for individual bootloader and modem and stumbled into those files by codeworks, and i am assuming you are saying that those aren't the correct files?

I just flashed 21S today on my 522. what recovery do you have right now? that's pure stock. flashing will erase everything and restore factory rom. https://youtu.be/v_aohNnvT_Q

twrp-3.2.1-0-s2, can't remember if i had the same one or one version older than the current one; when i tried it. Should i try it again? But the question is will it install the origibnal boot loader and modem? because i was playing with those in the past and flashed the wrong ones i think, and it will be great if i can go back to the original ones.

it certainty restores boot. not sure about modem, I never touched it. you have nothing to loose flashing it. it supposed to be bone stock. just delete two lines in the script and re-save zip. you have to do wipe, wipe data, then mount, copy zip, flash, reboot. in that order, I wasted hours today finding out that order is required. otherwise, it won't load.

then you have a more complicated problem than mine. I had stock fastboot, and twrp.

Unbelievable! It actually worked after the 2nd attempt. Even got the 21s update. Thanks :good:
The original question is still unanswered about which one is the correct firmware for the US model amng the firmware provided by codeworks, hopefully someone knows that and will share in interest of others that might have the same problem.
Thanks again @leo221 for providing a clear and easy solution.
