Did you snatch it before it updated your phone ?

Did you snatch it before it updated your phone ?

yes i did... i went the no Knox approach but if for some reason i have a soft brick or other item which would require kies to fix ill go this route.

Also link added in OP for a return to true stock for 4.3 Virgin mobile edition

This is good to have for Knoxed up users who need a restore option for sure! Your grab of MG2 saved my butt in the early days of owning my phone, so thanks for that too! Out of curiosity, doesn't the ".md5" need to be removed from the file name in order for Odin to properly push the file (I.e. it needs to end with ".tar")?

i believe you're right usually i rename the file after extraction this time i decided to upload the file as is from the keis temp folder.

No problem with the MG2. i added a disclaimer to the thread about knoxed up users.

Will this file reset the knox bootloader?

Will this file reset the knox bootloader?

this is a stock update/ recovery nothing more what it will do is ensure your running a knox bootloader if your not.

if you tripped your flag then it is still tripped.

the falg is an e-fuse once triggered no way to reset as of now anyway.

At least it will return us to stock if we brick with the knox bootloader !! Thank you !!!

How could the file sizes be so different?

*edit* i'm an idiot, yours is compressed... nevermind lol
