Go into stock recovery and do a wipe (volume up, home and power button at same time) , that might start you back up, if not, just go into dl mode and flash the mj4 tar you should be good

This is the link for KK of that's what you want to do, you need to go stock 4.3 first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630514 go here and follow the instructions on page 1. You need to get to the download screen first and then follow the instructions... Pull your battery, put it back in, and then press volume down, home, and power at the same time to get to dl mode.. You'll be ok,.

not confusing. the they explanations are simple thank you. i'm downloading the files now and i'm going to do all the updates first.
two more questions
1 if i do all the updates you told me. i should use the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 file to root or something else?
2 i tried to flash a rom for sm-n900 and it didn't work odin sayd fail. did it not work because mine is sm-n900p or because i did something and now i can't flash thing on it in wich case i won't be able to flash the updates eather?

1. If you stay on mj4 (4.3) then you want to follow this method to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474222 there's videos and super simple, if you go KK then yea, you need to use chain fires auto root for the 9005, make sure you put the tar file and not the md5 file.
2. You don't flash roms in Odin, you need to flash roms using twrp (that's the recovery), might be why you ran into problems in the first place.

It can all be very confusing at first, once you learn the terms and types of files, gets pretty simple, but read read read.. And if something sounds real crazy, Google or search the forums.

the only time i flashed a rom was for an s2 and it worked with odin. don't know any other method. if recovery is volum up home and power i can't do that i get the note logo and the error i mentioned above it.
my problem is that i need to fix this quick and reading a lot of forums takes time i don't have. that's why i started dtis post. in the hopes that someone had time to walk me through all tha paces step by step even if he/she feels like shooting me after

You need to get to the download mode, pull your battery, put it back in, press volume down, the home button, and power at the same time, hold it until the phone vibrates and the screen turns on, it will tell you to press over of two options, you want the dl mode option. If you have a case, take it out of the case and try, might be preventing you from hitting all three at the same time.

Yep, make sure your phone is recognized in the program when it comes up, takes a few minutes to start up and about 15 to run. Make sure you run the program as administrator.. Once you do this, your phone will be completely stock like you just took it out the box

i am instalink the mj4 now and it seems to be working.
for the updates i noticed that the instructions sayd to copy the files to the external sd. can't it be the internal sd, or does it really have to be the external one because i don't have an external sd right now.
and if it can't be the internal sd, then what file should i use to root whithout the updates, just the mj4?

---

just realised that was a stupid question. i found a long forgotten 1gb sd. does the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 file work on nabd or should i only upgrade to nab?
