You flashed the wrong file that's why it softbricked. You can't flash anything older, only mk2 or newer. You'll have to flash the mk2 image in Odin to restore it to working condition.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
so I should be able to flash mk2 tar file with odin and unbrick?
Im back up and running, thanks a bunch.

I tried to do AdamOutler's unlock bootloader stuff, and when i flashed the unlocked bootloader file in his thread i got a boot loop, so i tried to flash the stock bootloader file also in his thread. now i get the yellow triangle saying i need to take it back to the store. i can still flash with odin and i just tried to flash the unlocked bootloader again and now i get a fail message in odin.
please help!
even if i can get back to the bootloop i'm willing to take it back to verizon at this point. i just dont want to do that with the yellow triangle, i could just make up some something for the bootloop.
Have you tried flashing back with the stock odin image?

the first thing you ever do before flashing anything on your device is have a stock rom to odin back on. second your not following directions. third your device is not bricked...flashing back to stock will bring it back.
I'm having a similar issue. I had followed adam's protocol for rooting and unlocking using CASUAL; once the process was completed I received a notification claiming that my device was now 'rooted and unlocked.' I then proceeded to download ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery and upon reboot receive the 'system software not authorized' message. At this point I attempted to use the official ODIN provided in droidstyle's guide on root/unlock/etc thread. I see a successful flash of the image but still cannot get out of the unauthorized system software error. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

i did! that's why i was a bit surprised that it didn't work. i downloaded both the VRALJB 4.1.1 stock image and pit file, placed them into their corresponding locations in ODIN and flashed away. should i be allowing ODIN to repartition the disk? (thanks for the help droidstyle!)

either ask in the CM thread or flash a stock rom from sammobile.com then root all over again.
where is the cm thread for this phone...
In the meantime... I have tried to use Odin to reset to factory but it fails, so asking in cw thread would do no good if I cannot access cw... count is @ 13 and cannot add triangle either so I cannot take back... tried Kies but once again I cannot turn phone on... so if anyone can guide me to factory reset thread since I have been searching for 3 hrs I would appreciate it...

i think you've confused what i said with about 3 different things here~~!
odin doe's not do a factory reset, odin flashes firmware. can you get in to recovery or download mode any more? (i guess you can if you know your flash count is at 13) kies won't do anything since you are rooted and (was) running a firmware it would not recognize. kies is a pile of tosh! Delete it!
below is taken from a thread, i've provided the link and the part you need to know, Which stock firmware are you trying to flash through odin? and where did you get it from? use sammobile.com.
[EDIT] the CM thread is the same thread you downloaded the CM rom from.
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!

I have used Odin in the past with my first Epic to flash back to factory so that is why I tried with this one when I found the tar file, but it fails every time. I cannot get into recovery only download. When I try to get into recovery it says "Fireware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"... CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 is the file I flashed from Team Epic... I downloaded CWM back in Nov over 5 months ago... no idea where it is now...
That file failed as well
Hi, my galaxy grand was rooted and had the Resurrection Remix custom ROM, but now I want to reset my binary counter, unroot and flash the stock ROM. I started by downloading the .tar.md5 file (stock ROM), then I loaded it in Odin v3.09 as the AP (which is the PDA option but changed its name I think) and flashed, but it says fail at the beginning and now I only see "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I already installed Kies and tried this, but after a really long time when the progress bar reached 70%, it said Dll load fail and this was the second time I do it through Kies, but no avail and yes, I'm pretty sure that I have the ADB drivers installed. I flashed CWM touch recovery and it works good, so now I can enter Download mode and CWM mode (or whatever it's called) only. I want to flash back to the Stock ROM which I already have, but can't figure it how to solve this issue.
Thank you.
I really need help with this..
Thank you.

EDIT: Request close. I solved it. Apparently, it was my bad, I downloaded the firmware of GT-I9082 while my phone is GT-I9082L (though I bought it here from Egypt not Latin America).

I was trying to return to Verizon stock firmware and used odin 3.10 (first time) I have NC5 with Hyperdrive ROM. I tried SCH-1545_20140330160240_yni63xq6zh.zip and SCH-1545_20140330160240_8il7ls9o2_fac.zip.
Now my phone booted into "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I have finally was able to boot into download mode but odin flashes fail. I tried to used Kies but nothing works, it does not recognize the phone.
I did notice that there is a small blue dot where the download progress line is. Does anyone know what I can try?

i rooted my devce using cwm(n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125)) and gained super su access.
tried to put new rom on went through the process of backing up which i dont thinhk worked, and wiping the sustem
tried to put on new rom using cwm and got an error on startup
so i tried to go back and start the whole process over again
using odin i tried to flash the phone and FAIL
i am stuck in a loop everytime i start normal or start in cwm i get a message saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
but i can still use ODIN
What can i do

I'd use TWRP if I were you and save yourself some headaches. From my understanding, CWM is hit or miss on our beloved Note 3.

First what version of KK where you on when you rooted your device ? Anyway pull battery then reinstall battery. Boot into download mode, then odin flash the version of KK you had before you rooted your phone.
Chances are the device won't boot. DON'T PANIC !!! Happenes all the time, just pull the battery again. Boot into download mode again, and odin flash the stock KK again it should boot the second time.
Once you get it to boot up, check and see what version of KK you are running and make the kernel , modem, and bootloader are the same.
At this point l would odin flash it again to make sure you have a clean install. Now you can root and install a custom recovery. I use TWRP.
IF you have any questions just click rom flashing basics in my signature.
Pull battery boot cold to download mode. From there attempt odin flash of factory tar image. Report back please.
