Hi,
dont panic, I went thru exactly the same process right up till the TWRP and wipe. All you need to do is get hold of the stock rooted rom zip from here:
Then copy it onto your sdcard, for which you can connect to the computer using Advanced menu of the TWRP, and load the sdcard, which will connect as USB storage to PC.
Then once file is on sd card, just go back to main TWRP meny and select install option, then select the zip file you just copied.
Let TWRP do its stuff, then do a factory reset / then go into reboot system.
Wish you all the best. Once the ROM has installed, now you can search for the latest TWRP, install it then go on to latest kit kat roms in exactly the same way.

hope he follows up with a thank you.

Hii,
Finally I reached on TWRP. Can I copy the Stock ROM Zip file in Memory Card and then install memory card on phone. And from Install in TWRP I can go the SD Card location and install it from there? Possible ?
Actually there was no battery on phone that is why the phone was not booting up to TWRP mode. Now I'm in TWRP and downloading Stock ROM. Hope it get fixed soon.
Many Thanks and Regards

That file is stock firmware inside the zip is a .tot file that can be renamed to .bin and used with lgnpst to bring the phone back to stock. You would need to be able to get into download mode
again. If you do use the g33k3r file you would need to root again then use Freegee app from play store to unlock bootloader and install recovery.

Hi,
Now I'm downloading ...
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware/LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip
I guess this is original ATT LG E970 Firmware. I will copy it into my external Memory Card and then will insert into phone. After that using TWRP I'll be going to use this Zip file and after that factory reset. Am I correct ? Do I need to follow different steps ?
Let me know. Moreover do I need to unlock Phone again? When I received it was already in Unlocked State. So installing the above link firmware will lock it again? Or should I proceed with the link I posted earlier, I mean this ..
ttp://downloads.codefi.re/g33k3r/LGE970AT-01-V20j-310-410-MAR-08-2013.zip
And Rename File to .bin instead of .tot and Make ZIP it again ?
Please let me know.
PS ; I'm still Downloading The firmware from Ist link.

Edit : I also tried Unticking ZIP File Verification. But still it says .. "Error in Flashing Zip"
I did this from the forum @carrett started:

make sure to download the first file too.... to get to download mode just use twrp's reboot menu... from what i remember it has a reboot to bootloader. From there you can use the volume keys to select Download mode and push the power button to go into it...

I tried reboot to boot loader but unfortunately it takes me back to Fast Boot mode (in green Andriod screen) :/
I also tried all options of reboot but no use. Either the phone comes in Fast Boot mode or Power off.

I've been seeing different posts on how to root the Note 3 from 4.4.2 but all them haven't been updated since February it seems...can anyone direct me to a post on how to root from stock 4.4.2 NC5? Just afraid of messing up. Only ever rooted my EVO 3D.
You go here:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
download and install those or install Kies 3 up to you.
then download these:
http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip?retrieve_file=1
http://108.166.171.34/goodata/devs/...mg.tar?st=syUP0i4Y0IvF-fzHGzC_tw&e=1400167930
On the phone enable USB Debugging if you haven't, Go to settings then about phone then keep tapping build until it says unlocked then go back one menu go into developer options and enable usb debug. After that is done, power phone off. Hold home button & the vol down then press and hold power button while still holding those two down. They hit vol up at the prompt.
Make sure your phone is on usb to the pc before you go into download mode after you enable debug. once that is done you will unzip the auto root flash zip and open odin you should see the phone in the com port as detected. Check the pda box then click PDA and select the md5 file in the same folder, then hit start.
Let the phone reboot and finish its upgrade then put it back into download mode again, re-open odin and install the open recovery tar file in PDA too. Now you have the latest TWRP for 4.4 and can flash custom roms. for that you use same method as getting into download mode but you hit vol up not vol down
This worked for me, I just did it last weekend. no need to Kies and it takes like 5 minutes total.

All kies does is alternative driver installer if you ever want to use it, which I honestly only use for texts going to pc.

Bambi I have a note 3 4.4.2 NC5, TWRP is great recovery, however I is use Philz custom CWM recovery here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 once there click on this link http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition and select "hltespr" for the sprint version. If you already have TWRP, you can still switch the recovery using odin in download mode and flash over TWRP. It's personal choice I find CWM easier to use.
Blue box?

Trying to root right now, except when I plug the phone in and go into download mode it comes up with a blue ID:COMM10 not a yellow ID:COMM6...did this happen to you? If not is this still fine to proceed?
Yeah, as long as odin sees your phone.

Are you sure it doesn't matter what color the box is? The reason I asked what color yours came up as was because in the video it says the number doesn't matter if it's a 6 or 10 or anything, but he says make sure it's a yellow box because that means it recognizes?

Working CWM Recovery for S7262
Here is the Link . . . . .. . Flash with Odin
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6xAzFVJYc3YbXlaaWNyenlpNkU/view?pli=1
why is the screen going white and nothing showing up while booting into recovery mode ?
the flashing of the recovery was a succes acording to odin.
giliwawa: Maybe your recovery.tar was corrupted... You can try another one, or come back to the stock one which can be extracted from a firmware update.

@Jawad Twam IDK if I used this guide to flash twrp recovery on my s7262 or not, cause it's been a long time.
I just wanted to ask why one can't get into recovery mode by pressing the hardware keys. Is it cause I installed twrp or is there anything else I'm missing? I did got into recovery mode through advance reboot in developers options tho. And download mode was working as well through hardware keys.

Maybe the recovery file you flashed, is corrupted. Also, what shows on screen after booting into recovery.?
@Yogesh1969 no it wasn't corrupted. I wasn't pressing the buttons in the right pattern, which I didn't even knew existed by going through the guides given online(even on xda's numerous posts). This video helped me out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP-mglw46h4&t=83s
It's all about proper pattern and timing. And no one mentions it neither on XDA nor on any other website. I tried to find the video through google search but rather I got other BS videos than this helpful one. It's thanks to the history option in youtube I was able to locate it.
If you press all the buttons at the same time, nothing happens. But if you do the same thing in the case of download mode then it works. Like What?? Then when you flash a custom recovery or even root your device, the red warning symbol doesn't shows up on the top left corner of the screen when device boots up, making me to believe that whatever I was doing wasn't working. Unless you install a custom rom or a rom with a custom kernel, then only that warning sign shows up.
It's just all big steaming pile of sh** that samsung created and other forgot to address.
So I have some great news for all you US Cellular owners out there. I have found a way to root the Mega. To my knowledge this is THE FIRST ROOT FOR THE US CELLULAR MEGA. This will only work for the 4.4.2 version so make sure you have updated or flashed it in odin.
I hope this tutorial isn't too confusing. Sorry I'm not a good teach but I want to get this out to the people who are having trouble getting rooted.
Things you will need:
1. SCH-R960 Device (US Cellular Galaxy Mega)
2. A good micro usb cable. Preferable the cable that came in the box.
3. A PC
4. Odin 3.09 http://odindownload.com/
5. CWM Recovery http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00066/7VS/i9200-cwm-recovery(201362118259).tar
6.And the actual root file http://download.chainfire.eu/446/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip?retrieve_file=1
Note:The CWM and root files say they are for the i9200 version. They work fine for the SCH-R960
Ok first you need open Odin and plug your device into your PC. If the connection is successful then the box at the top left corner will turn light blue.
Put your device into download mode put hold volume down+home+power until a screen appears, then press volume up.
Click on the AP button and browse to the folder you placed CWM in and choose the file.
Make sure you dont change any settings in odin or check or uncheck any boxes, Click Start
Odin will do its thing and the phone will reboot.
After it passes the Samsung Galaxy Mega screen it is safe to unplug the device from the PC
Let the phone boot.
After it boots you need to close odin plug your usb cable back into the phone.
Find the SuperSUUPDATE.zip file and place it onto the root of either the internal storage or external SD card. (I used the internal storage)
Now you can unplug the usb cable from the phone and power it off.
Boot into Recovery by using the volume up+home+power keys until you see the first screen pop and the release.
You should now be in recovery mode.
Using the volume rockers and power button, choose intsall zip update package
Choose zip from sdcard
Then navigate to where the .zip file is located
When you find it, click on it and choose yes
Then choose Go Back
Reboot System Now
Then you should see a screen that says at the top "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE.
(These next 2 steps are very important)
Choose "Yes - Disable revocery flash"
Then choose 'Yes - Fix Root"
The device will restart
After reboot, you will see an icon in your app tray called SUPER SU
Don't open it yet.
Open the Play Store and search Super SU
You should see that it is installed but needs an update.
Go ahead and click update.
When you open the app most likely you will get a message that says Binary needs updated. Choose yes.
For the next pop-up choose normal (This step can take a few mins)
After it is completed it will say "Samsung Knox has been detected" choose OK to disable
This step also can take some time if you are on the screen for more than 1-2 minutes close the app and uninstall from the play store and repeat these steps.
Now you should be rooted. You can check this by install an app called Root Checker Basic
I hope this helps everyone in getting rooted.
Anyway to..
Is there anyway I could use TWRP instead of CWM for the custom recovery in this process?? Thanks!

I've only done these steps and CWM isn't my recovery even though it says it passed,I'm still on stock recovery.
Do I continue with flashing SU?
I have the SCH-R960.
Any speedy replies most appreciated.

i tried everything is fine but the SU cannot be updated since my phone wifi is not functional ...
Can't get it to work
I have tried this but to no avail, the update fails to verify every time even following the directions given to the T.
straight talk will not work with u s cellular phone. And there are no roms for the mega that I am aware of.
This method work with other galaxy mega 4.4.2 different carrier ?
Question this work for mega i527 4.4.2
I was told that for Galaxy Mega Sprint L600, root and SIM unlock is only possible if Android version is 4.2.2. Now my question is, does this method work for L600 that's on Android 4.4.2 too?

btw volume down+home+power button is called download mode. recovery mode is different. And also your tutorial mentions xposed uninstaller. how to use uninstaller if phone bootloops and we don't have twrp recovery? :/
Sorry, my fault. I have edit it to download mode. Thx for correcting.
I don't find any boot loop. And if you do, then you can try reflashing the phone back to stock.
the original recovery is still there.
you can as well install TWRP but you will find that red kernel error on boot (enforcing).
and you can only boot to TWRP by using NDR utils -- not with buttons.
its the 6th time am getting into bootloop
