I purchased the phone already rooted, but it was on a stock ROM running 4.3 and had TWRP recovery on it. I wanted to unroot and be completely stock, because it was acting funny (wouldn't reboot as it should from the menu, and a couple other things). So I followed this guide:
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-repair/how-to-unroot-galaxy-note-3/
and it failed. So i tried again from my USB3.0 port and it failed. I'm stuck on the yellow triangle screen which says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Pleas select recover mode in Kies & try again." I downloaded Kies3 and there's nothing in the firmware recovery list, and when I went to upgrade and initialization, I put in the model and s/n, it tells me that the SM-N900P isn't compatible or wont work with that.
I'm at a loss, any help would be great to get me back to a working phone! Thanks!!

Well, I managed to fix it, I downloaded "N900PVPUBMJ4_N900PSPTBMJ4_N900PVPUBMJ4_HOME.tar.md5" from a forum on here, and that managed to work, unlike the one I had tried previously. Back in business.
Just to let you know you can't downgrade the bootloader is the reason it was failing ....

I dont't see odin or download in the phone at all. Just connect to Kies. Is my phone bricked? Can it be restored? If it can be restored, can someone lead into the right direction? I was trying to restore the phone and my power went out for 10 min and now it's back on
If you haven't shut off the phone you should be able to load it back up in Odin desktop and start over. Can you get into download mode?

Lol. I couldn't figure out how to make my phone do what I wanted so I returned it for a new one that I still won't be able to figure out how to make do what i want because I don't wanna learn just give me cool shizz naoww!
The problem wasn't your phone. It was a kies / driver / USB port problem, lots of people are experiencing the same thing. But I agree with the above poster, please don't modify the new one. If THIS was something you're willing to return it for, imagine if u had an actual problem.

Try installing Samsung Kies http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...Hsxw4ptEdLDgjmDtA&sig2=s2Ik_zAvbYl1EZ28DFGk_A
then pop off your battery and get your Model and serial (NOT IMEI!) numbers and write them down.
in kies click on tools>emergency firmaware recovery a window should popup
boot your device into download mode
on the "emergency fw recovery window" should show your device... it will ask for your SN and model, input them as it shows on the back of your device. It will then install the latest Samsung FW (ICS).
worked for me when i got mine to the point odin wasnt working.
Stock SGH-I777 "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
My phone froze and when I tried to boot it back up it showed "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue". I'm running a stock jellybean rom so I tried emergency recovery with kies and it gets stuck at "Proceed to firmware emergency recovery" at 0%. I have tried using different usb cables, ports and even different pc's. I also reinstalled all the drivers properly. I tried flashing a stock rom using odin but it always fails. I can go into download mode but not recovery mode. I looked at many threads and the common course of action is to flash with odin. I have tried numerous times with different methods and it still won't get fixed. Please help. Thanks in advance and I apologise if this question is getting old but I am stumped.
note: before this happened the phone was working perfectly fine. I was running a stock rom and no root

Flashing the kernel
Thanks @cyril279. I tried it again with no luck. Flashing the kernel failed. And now it shows that the current binary is now custom. It was official before. And also the binary counter went from 1 to 3. IDK if that helps at all
The increased binary counter is likely the result of attempts to flash the Siyah (non-stock) kernel. I was unaware that it would notch the counter if the flash was NOT successful.
Assuming that you followed the steps thoroughly, in their correct order, and using the correct firmware for the exercise, (siyah kernel and SBL.bin) then I am left to assume, as the post states, that your eMMC memory is damaged.
I have not had much experience with damaged eMMC memory, so perhaps our peers can chime in with other options that may be available to verify the condition of the device.
creepyncrawly said:
Try the following, just in case the problem is nand r/w corruption.
[...the six steps...]
If you are unable to get any of these to flash successfully, first you should assume a bad port, or bad cable, and try other ports, other cables, even another pc. If you can get no flash to succeed, then you may have damaged eMMC memory.
In case it is damaged memory, see this post from Mobile Tech Videos.

Alright guys as my title states I pulled a "noob move" and it looks like I've soft bricked my phone (It won't boot past the verizon splash screen). I've done a little research and I'm pretty familiar with Odin and how it works. Seems to be the same concept as jungle flasher and I've modded a few 360's in my time. I've tried, to no avail, to flash my phone back with the stock image numerous times and I figured it was time to consult the experts. What I've done so far: Downloaded the factory stock restore TAR from Rwilco12's site and put that in the PDA file browser of Odin. My phone shows up in Odin when connected in download mode with a light blue com:4 box. I read sometimes this is supposed to be yellow? Other versions of Odin it is yellow. This instance was attempted in 3.07. 1.85 it shows up as yellow. Regardless of either version, they both fail after the "aboot" step. I've tried two computers and have failed miserably all morning. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

After i got an ME7 phone i tried using odin to go back to MDK (i was desperate and ignorant) and this happened to me.
You can odin the ME7 stock image and it'll be fine..... but i recommend that you either call or go to a verizon, tell them your problem and they should send you a replacement...... also start praying that what they send you is an MDK
my humble suggestion :silly:

Would it be bad to ask for a replacement with MDK? Just curious, because I'm afraid my GS4 I'm receiving Monday will come with ME7.
You can try but im doubting they will. If it was at a verizon store or best buy generally they dont mind.

Like hexitnow said, if you got ME7 you have nothing to lose (sadly) so feel free to give it a go.

My note 3 will only boot to the samsung note logo and keeps looping back to it with out anything else. i tried stock rom and reset but nothing works. is the phone bricked and can i get a replacement.

Try using ODIN and flashing the stock tar file. That should set you straight. You should be able to find what you need in the Android Dev section. If you are new to ODIN, open the app on your pc, click PDA, find the stock tar file, ensure "repartition" is unchecked and hit start. That should get you back to 100% stock. Do any applicable system updates and attempt the root process again. If you have any troubles look for qbking77's Note 3 root guide. Good luck. If all else fails I'd try a return and hope they don't know how to check for the flash flags.

thanks anyways.
After my grand daughter got my SCH-i650 into TWRP recovery mode and then proceeded to really (&#$^@# it up, needless to say it was totally screwed. My fault though. I ended up flashing with odin back to stock and used the MJ9 4.3 version.I didn't know that the boot loader was locked up tight on this one so I am stuck with it. I rooted, then put the new safe strap on it and got stuck in a splash screen. I could hear messages coming through but my screen was locked. Long story short, what finally worked was what you all said to do in this thread and then stock recovery and factory reset. At least I have my phone back. I really miss Alliance and Trent's rom but glad to at least have my phone working. Thank you all for all the help and suggestions.
