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, freeza 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 NAB 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 NAB 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).
