Going from MJ4 Jellybomb to NAB KitKat Killer
Follow these links precisely in this order. This process assumes these things:
You already have Odin and the drivers for your device.
You are already on a rooted MJ4 Jellybomb ROM
You have already played around with your device before and will not blame me if you break it.
This is a painless process and shouldn't take more than a couple hours to download everything and install. I am using Odin v3.09 as I find this works the best on my Note 3 and never causes problems. If you do not see your device in Odin this is another thing all together, and you need to find the drivers.
Odin each file in the AP slot, this used to be known as PDA. Reboot after each Odin flash let the device sit for a minute then on to the next. Odin v3.09 will already have the 'reboot' option checked by default.
Do not wipe anything until you get the recovery back onto your device.
At this point it is up to you. I wiped System, Dalvik and Cache only and have had no difficulty.
EDIT HERE: To make it even easier here is a link to Odin as well thanks to @daerragh

First of all I am glad this helped you. You shouldn't need the engineering boot-loader unless something got messed up. If you just want it for future ability to flash basebands then yes. Being NABbed (yeah) is a prerequisite to flashing @freeza boot-loader.
Sorry for the delayed response I just started a BS midnight shift the beginning of the week. Ninjas work at night so I guess it fits.
So I don't have to go back to stock before I follow this process is that correct?

Now that we have the full restore files for both builds, just flash stock MJ4, back up your internal memory to your computer, flash the complete stock NAB tar or one-click, and go from there.
Those tar files bring you to official status, the second plants NAB on your phone, after which time you can flash recovery and either root, or go straight to K3.
Not a bad idea to factory reset your rooted MJ4 phone prior to flashing the stock MJ4 file, as it will save you some time.
Just follow the OP.
It's super easy, fun for the whole family.

PLEASE HELP!! When in boot the firmware upgrade encountered an issue message appears. I have 1st tried Kies,downloading drivers and troubleshooting still nothing. I then have tried odin with stock restore and I get a fail each time. I have checked usb cords they are in good condition. I have exhausted all options that I know of. Any help would be soooo much appreciative!!! Thanks!
Do you know what build you were on prior? Looks like youre on the me7 ota and youre trying to flash mdk which you cant do.

I was in the same situation. I apparently use a pit file to get out of this error
The pit file should be locatable in the S4 Android Development section
Flash it and you will be as good as new

You need the me7 odin file from the dev forums. you were attempting to flash mdk and thats why you were getting the errors.
This is the link to the no wipe versions so you wont lose any apps and associated data. Just make sure you grab the me7 version.

After my windows computer crashed late that night I tried the next day and was able to fix it..THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!! MUCH APPRECIATED!
Can someone please confirm which twrp recovery works with the 4.4.2 update....I updated by flashing the tar.md5 file that was posted by freeza. Then I re rooted with no problem using cf auto root. I can't seem to figure out which twrp will work. I tried to flash one version but it just kept blinking on the team win symbol. I had to take the battery out and try again but no go. I was gonna try twrp 2.6.3.7 but I don't want to get into any problems seeing how I can't do a back up right now because I have stock recovery. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Very well said my friend. I'm sure it's even more challenging the fact that bigbiff doesn't even own A Note3, yet supports our addiction. To make such recoveries for a device in which he will gain no access speaks volumes to his character and selflessness. A true contributer/dev to so many devices this team is. Just outstanding!

Hey everyone,
Just got the note 3 today and it's pretty dope!!!! I did not take the OTA update to kk 4.4.2, which is what I assume it wants to do. I'm on 4.3 with the MI5 baseband. Is there Knox on this bootloader that I have to worry about? Is it easier rooting with what I have or easier on 4.4.2? Thanks in advance for any advice
Either one you can auto root with Chainfires method which trips knox, you can also root with Kingo which doesn't trip knox. But as soon as you flash a recovery it will. Congrats on the new phone.

Take the update and then decide if you wish to root. That bootloader and version of Jellybean in 5 months old. Where did you buy this phone? You have 3 updates to get to KitKat, so it's going to be awhile.
I would suggest going straight to KitKat via one of the One-click or tar files in the dev forum, but I strongly suggest that you read before making the choice.

[Side notes about the build number being MI3, I don't know if that bodes bad for Sammy or not, but that is pretty stale inventory. Kind of boggles the mind when there have been many on these threads whom have been bi+ch slapped by Sprint's recent rapacious turn IN servicing existing customers, waiting weeks for refurbished devices, when they've more than likely got older unboxed phones sitting in inventory collecting dust. That would kind of irk the crap our of me.]

No prob! And thanks, I certainly will, xda is awesome! Spent plenty of time of here for my S3 and N7. Doesn't seem like Sprint cares or they dont want to give out new phones unless theyre making that dollar.
Correct me if im wrong but you cant flash a custom rom w/o a custom recovery right? I want to root so I can get a debloated rom whether it'd be stock debloated or CM but it seems tripping knox is inevitable.

This is why I suggested that you either take the OTA updates on step sequence, or flash a one-click, and possibly avoid rooting if you can. You need to read, take counsel of patience, and choose for you. Going from TouchWiz to AOSP is not swift, requires time and care. Most importantly, do nothing in hot haste that which you would not do by taking time.
There is no single good reason not to wait if you are in the least undecided or unclear about the means or your desired outcome.
You'll be far happier in the long term. I'd avoid AOSP if this is your first time, but even here, that's my opinion.
Good luck.

Well I tried 4 times with kingo root. usb debugging is checked and the drivers are fine. I tried searching for problems using kingo on MI5, sm-900p, and i got nothing. I just want to root to use titanium backup and freeze all the bloatware. or flash a kit kat rom with it all removed. Micmars, can you gain root by flashing one of those tar files you speak of with odin? or do I have to take the OTA update and then chainfires method? Ive been reading all I can for the past day and I feel like im stuck on the forums in bootloop!

If your not worried about your knox being tripped just use Chainfire's it's easy, download the correct version put it in the Pda slot in Odin flash and you are rooted. It's just about easy as it gets. Then download Rom manager or Goo manager and install one of the recoveries. Then you can flash what ever you like or debloat what you are running.
I upgraded my note to 4.4.2 with freeza rom. I have my phone flashed to a different service provider (other then sprint) I found out that 4.4.2 is not compatible with the flash. Anytime my device is flashed then my phone has no service. It has a red x on the service bars. If I can downgrade my phone then I will regain service and be able to use my device. If I can't downgrade then you can say I just have a paper weight.

From what I have read, it is possible (not confirmed), you need to flash the engineered bootloader, then you can downgrade to na4 and then back to mj4...i have not seen anyone try it yet, you might be the first to try... Check out freezas threads and follow them. I believe if you read the leak thread he created, the steps are there. Good luck!

I can't seem to find them from my phone, if you do a search in the threads, look for na4 tar and mj4 tar, if you can successfully get back to na4, you will need to flash mj4 twice, after the second flash, go straight into stock recovery and do a wipe and then it will start back up... Like I said, best of luck man. And read the forums, you don't want to risk bricking.

Someone said Mobile Odin is not recommended for flashing modems. You should be using PC Odin to attempt this.
And...why do you need to know into what slot a modem goes?
I believe that the files that are part of this process are bootloaders, tar roms and pit files (if you're going from 4.3 to 4.4.2). Bootloader is contained in the complete rom builds NAB, NA4 and MJ4. No modem. The bootloader, if using, goes on bootloader slot. Rom goes in PDA slot.
I hope this helps.
Good luck.

I asked because i felt that the modem was the problem from all that i have done and been thru wit this phone. Anyway...
I inserted the modem from the link provided on this thread. http://goo.gl/W0f3Za. (The post on this thread that provided the link to the MJ4 modem was no longer on their server/cloud.
I inserted the file in the phone slot and pressed start. Odin got stuck at first attempt. While the phone was stuck i closed Odin and held down the DL mode keys and reentered DL mode. I tried Odin again and it went thru. It reset and worked. I have call with text (No MMS or Data). Old texts that came when i was without service which was a week came back as well.
I encountered what seemed to be a hard brick thru out this process and with flashing CF Root thru Odin. My phone would show the recovery message and show the samsung logo and then it would boot loop and do that over and over. I wasn't able to boot into DL mode and i couldn't get it to stop automatically rebooting and do the same thing over again. I had to take the battery out. After leaving the battery out for 2 minutes the phone stopped auto booting and i was able to get the phone into DL mode.
Once i got into DL mode CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423 with the Odin file provided worked. The CF Root for this phone does not work for this phone for some reason.

My phone came on 4.3. But I'm already on 4.4.2. My problem was that updating to the Kit Kat update on a Sprint MVNO network would knock out service. And i have done a lot to try and fix this phone for the last week and this is the only thing that worked to get the service back. Two store i took the phone to couldn't get it to work. My question now is: Would this be the best modem for me to be on?

I think that you need to keep your eye out for Josh Beach and K3. I've heard that there's a universal install procedure that handles MVNOs.

I know you asked for the Stock Recovery, but if the only reason you want to keep it is for the "just in case" times, I'd recommend just keeping the Return to Stock One-Click by Rwilco... It'll restore everything to stock (except for your Knox Status).
