I've been searching for a while now, and it's a little confusing as to what to do to return to stock.
Need to install factory rom without root.
Install factory recovery
Relock bootloader.
Correct?
Does anyone have a link to a factory rom that doesn't have root? Or one that can easily have root removed?
Thanks

most of the times the stock rom contains the bootloader,
if you flash the stock rom, you phone will be unroot,locked and restore to stock mode.

That was the thread I was following, but it didn't work. I was able to get it done using a nandroid of stock unrooted that was posted on here.

twrp wouldn't even load it. CWM would load it and then after 3 seconds would restart and then the phone would be frozen at the htc logo.

Let me give some info on my situation:
The phone has unlocked boot loader
I got a replacement phone and wanted to odin back to stock to send back my original phone.
I used Odin to flash back to stock but the phone will not boot and I cannot get into recovery.
I am able to use Odin with success every time. I have followed instruction on how to return to stock and everything goes perfectly until I try to reboot or go into recovery. I just get the Samsung splash screen and it blinks every couple of seconds.
Any ideas?
so you pulled battery, reinsert, three finger combo(vol up/home/power) until you see recovery booting and it wont boot into recovery?

I have been using your instructions to go back to stock using odin from any rom. Do I need to flash the PIT with any stock odin file?
I have successful used the route66, Revision3 and Imuts files. all flash in Odin gave me the "SUCCESS" but then I cannot boot into recovery or start the phone.
Could it be because I had an unlocked bootloader? Is there a way to reinstall just a bootloader and/or recovery.

If you're returning it use the OTA jb image (full wipes and locks boot loader) and the pit file.

Yes, this was my problem exactly!! I know you weren't saying this, but it wasn't the Jedi ROM that did it just to clear that up. It was a ROM that I was beta testing that hasn't been released yet. I was on Jedi ROM prior to flashing the beta test ROM which I think is what you meant.
OP, did you happen to be testing a ROM and this happened? I won't name it but at least tell me that much.

Rooting doesn't give you the ability to flash ROMs, you have to have the bootloader unlocked and have a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm.
Thought you needed it unlocked to have a rom on it to start with. It has the cleanrom se1.5 on it now

Ok, you didn't say that you only said it was rooted.
What steps are you taking to flash a new ROM?
You said it fails, what's the failure?
Have you tried going into recovery mode? Turn off your phone, press and hold volume up+home button+and power button till u reach the boot animation then release the buttons. You will either be in cwm or twrp. If you reached this step, then you can flash a rom that is built for your specific note 2 version. From the recovery menus you can follow the necessary steps to install. Let us know what you see.
Ps make sure you do a back up just incase

I'd clean the phone up and return it to stock. Start from there.
Also, are you using a custom recovery like twrp or cwm? also, is your BL unlocked?

Did you check the md5 and what ROM are you flashing?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
how does a person check the md5 and i have tried the beans11 and jedi10 and both have errors and fail
There is an option in TWRP that makes it look for an MD5 match... but unless you have the MD5 accessible to TWRP it will fail and not install.
Make sure the option is not checked when you go to flash.
To manually check the MD5 yourself to verify your downloads... you need an app on your PC that has the ability. Google will point you right.
Then to check the MD5, you have the app analyze the file and compare it to the MD5 provided in the ROM thread.
thanks unchecked the md5 stuff and it works thanks
So i was going to flash a rom I made a back up, I hit fixed permissions. and now all I have is Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and is just stuck there. I can get into twrp and have tried wiping and starting from a clean slate and restoring the back up but still get the galaxy logo? any suggestions ?

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from TWRP?
-------edit----------
I just remembered. This used to happen on the Note 2 at times. If you're booting and get the Samsung splash screen, try going to TWRP and doing a Factory Reset a couple times. No idea if it will work, but with the Note that would usually clear whatever block existed and allow the ROM to boot past the splash screen. Good luck.

If it exists, it would basically be that ROM stuck into a .zip file which could be flashed from TWRP. I'm not sure it exists, was just browsing the Dev thread for you to see if anyone posted it. There is a version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292707 , but I'm not familiar with Loki enough to say whether or not you have it.

If Odin isn't working for you, a solution might be had via TWRP since you can still get into the recovery. If you flash your ROM or try your backup, does the install complete or does it crash? Have you wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data before the flash?
-edit-
Sorry, just saw your OP where you said you wiped and tried. If I were you my next step would be trying a different ROM just to see if you can get something booting.

Trying again. First wiping wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data , then restoring back up. I've tried this multiple times before hopefully it works this time. But generally when i hit reboot system afterward it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy IV boot screen and does nothing.

After your backup restores, try using TWRP to do a Factory Reset a couple times before rebooting. Also wipe cache/dalvik again before the boot.

Well went to restart the phone and now its stuck on a Samsung logo with a unlocked icon thats says custom underneath it and just sits there.
Credits: Our thanks to Samsung-Updates.com for posting MI3/MI5.
Until I have time to clean this up I figured I would post this now and we'll update it later.
It's more important to make sure people have this while testing new things.
Samsung-Updates.com has posted MI3 here:

As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.
Link to Stock ROMs:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900P)/Stock ROMs/
Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
TESTED AND WORKING - Great Work bud!
Any other DL links? Its not downloading anything.. On either link. Thanks
EDIT: Might be on my end I think it is working now. I already did something and messed it up. Very easy fix but I cant believe the n00b mistake I did lol. Oh well
Edit 2: Last one lol but link did work and was able to restore. Thanks!

i redownloaded the rom twice and have had the same result. I am using TWRP. i think ill use odin, update the ROM though OTA and reroot and install TWRP again. don't know why my phone is being dumb and not booting the ROM, just bought this beast and i wanna play around with it
Ever since the new partition layout i cant run any kit kat roms. I did throwbacks process and i am s-off so i have had 4.17 on this phone. also running the latest recovery from throwbacks post .8b. I dont know what it is or what im doing wrong but after flashing a 4.4 rom it will stay on the boot screen and the charge light comes on if its plugged it but will not boot. All of the sense 5.5 roms flash and boot up. Any ideas?
First of all make sure you're flashing ROMs compatible with the new partition layout.

No change on the new setup. If you're S-on you have to flash the boot.img separately. For S-off, you don't.

If i remember right people who were S-ON still had to do it that way and i only recently gained S-OFF so i still do it that way. im not sure if there is a different way for S-OFF people?

You said in your original post that you're S-off, so you just need to flash the ROM zip. No need to boot to the bootloader and flash the boot.img separately.

So just went and wiped everything and re flashed without going into the bootloader, and still no go. Its stuck on boot screen and the charge light still comes on so its not boot looping right?

How long are you waiting for it to boot up? Remember it takes several minutes for a ROM to boot after a flash, so give it a bit and see what happens.

Before i re wiped it i let it sit for 30+ minutes. Its been going for about 5 or so minutes.
Maybe ill just have to stick with boring old sense 5 haha. i seriously have no idea why its doing this.
Did you unlock bootloader with htc utility? What did you use to gain s-off?
What version is your H-BOOT?
Some roms I was flashing checked for 2.10.0000 and rejected anything else, so when I upgraded to 2.10.5555, most of the kit kat rooms took a poop on me.
Not sure if this is still an issue though. I would imagine those errors were caused by the person compiling the Roms, but may have been resolved since.
