Well, I think I downloaded the wrong rom and flashed the wrong file. Here is what I downloaded and flashed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
For whatever reason, I thought it would work. In my brilliance, I didn't perform a backup. I still have access to TWRP, so what do I do? Also, does 4.3 exist for the Verizon flavor that is Google Play edition?
Thats for the i9505 international version. Theres some 4.3 ports in the dev section. Since you didnt make a backup of stock youll have to odin back to stock and start over. All the odin images are in the dev section as well.

Did you think it would work because of the "guide" on how to run other carrier's ROMs?
And no one else I know is working on Google Edition 4.3. Mine's not done yet and I've been to focused on 4.2.2's build recently. I'll get back to it eventually.
As far as a fix:
Install another ROM. If you are desperate for SOMETHING 4.3, then install cyanogenmod 10.2(either of the 2 unofficial builds)

Thanks gents. The only reason I'm itching for 4.3 is access to Bluetooth LE for my Fitbit. I used Cyanogenmod for a minute on 4.2 and it was amazing, but BT LE brought me back to stock. It lately started doing that Google Services using 70%+ of the battery, so I started hunting for a 4.3 rom.. in the wrong forum. WOOPS.
I'll probably go back stock until I can get 4.3 rom that has everything working.

I've been rooting and flashing roms since 2011. I just purchased and rooted my sprint note 3. I then flashed both AOSb and then PAC rom with no problems whatsoever. My rom finger got itchy, and I wanted to flash a new rom so I tried freeza's custom rom. I have the latest twrp recovery installed. I wiped and formatted the phone. Flashed the rom and gapps and got stuck in a boot loop. I then tried kitkatkiller, sacs, and team blazed roms and got stuck in a boot loop with each of those. However I can still flash both AOSB and PACroms and they work fine. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Am i going to have to restore it to stock?

If you want to flash these roms you have to have the 4.4.2 bootloader for them to boot. .. Once you go to 4.4.2 you can't go back to 4.3 ... easiest way is to download the nab tar and use Odin to go to 4.4.2

Uhm, not so sure. I believe that those roms employ the 4.3 MJ4 build.
Once you're on TouchWiz KitKat for our device, there is no going back.

You're showing your n00bness if you're infering micmars is a troll. He's probably the most active on these forums with helping others. Anyway...I digress...Not sure if the AOSP builds will serve as a base to flash TW based ROMS from. I'd HIGHLY encourage you to use one of the NAB tars that are posted...flash it in Odin. Reboot...let it settle, go through setup...verify everything is working. Back into download mode, and Odin the latest TWRP for KitKat. Reboot..verify it's installed correctly...nandroid next as a fallback position. Copy over the 4.4 TW ROM you want to flash, then do so from TWRP. Profit!
Good luck

Tried flashing to stock mj4 thru Odin and what I get at the end is...
Secure check fail modem...
So does this mean I'm already running on the nabd bootloader?

It means your status is custom, and may be that your on the NAB bootloader.
If you never flashed the NAB tar or one-click, then you most likely are not.
Try factory reset of your device, and flash again. But be careful. Only you know what was on your device prior to installing your AOSP rom.
Look in the Q&A forum. There is a post thread by @SantinoInc whom started with AOSP, and was able to get to where you are headed.
As noted, my knowledge of AOSP roms is thin at best. I only know that they began with MJ4.

As I thought I was able to reset my phone using stock 4.4.2 firmware and was able to flash roms from that part. Thanks for the help.
Well, for one, none of the Touchwiz based ROMs need gapps. That's probably your issue.
I have been out of the loop for a while. I recently updated from 4.3.1 to 4.4.4 AOKP KK... It seams to run smooth... But I noticed the baseband is still VRALJB. Should that be updated? I have has a couple instances where I've had to go into airplane mode and back out just to send a text message. Possible issue with radio?

Guess I should research first...

Thanks. I actually had to reload the phone completely with the ND7 rom until I get things figured out. The AOKP rom and ND7 modem combination for me didn't work. I had way to many failed SMS messages.... and in the middle of fighting with and ex.... I can't have that..... yes... via text.... lol
I rooted the phone, but know nothing about ROMS or if I even need one?
I rooted the phone so I can remove the bloatware & I was hoping for faster speeds out of the device as well.
Is there a ROM that the community generally considers the fastest/lightest stable ROM out there?
IMHO I've tried em all...
stock rooted OC5 update is the best
everything works.

This one right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/romodin-t3095540
I bought a used phone & it is on
Hardware: N900P.12
Android version: 5.0
I plan to do a factory reset & then root the phone (I rooted a Galaxy Note 2 once, but I never installed a custom ROM before).
So when I "flash" that OC5 ROM, will it just be a de-bloated stock Samsung Note 3 ROM on the latest Loliupop update?
All the S-Pen & camera features of the phone will be intact?
Am I correct or is that a much more customized ROM?
Will I have to root it first before following the steps in that thread?

That's not a "flashable" rom in terms of using a custom recovery to do so, that is a tar that you use with odin and your phone in download mode. I would read some of the q&a threads in regards to updating from nk4 to oc5.

I actually do not see any ROM named OC5 in this site under the Sprint ROM sections:
http://grantbarker.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
Doesn't that site have every ROM available?
OC5 is the Samsung code for the latest version of their software. the letters and number correspond to the date is was released, can't remember how it translates... doesn't matter.

Ok, so OC5 is just the latest firmeware update for the Galaxy Note 3, it isn't a custom ROM at all.
So the stock ROM is better than all of the custom ROM out there?

depends on who you ask.
I'm on stock rooted lollipop right now, with Nova Launcher. I love it.
there is a fellow putting together a stock rooted deodex that works with Xposed over in the gen chat sect, and that's going to be great, should be released soon.
I'm not a fan of theming at all, and IMHO the more changes a person makes in a ROM, the more features ported and crammed in there, the buggier it tends to be... and that's not always true either, just my experience.

Lolipop v 5.0 was already on the phone, I just rooted it & everything went fine.
I downloaded Titanium Backup & holy hell is there a crap load of apps on this. Too daunting to mess on my own.
So there is no stock debloated lolipop ROM for the Note 3 as of now & we have to wait for the deodex stock rom?

Correct. Lollipop was a different "type" of Android. So it's been catch up time for devs to figure out how to make the mods work on lollipop. It's all coming soon. There is also a list in general section of apps you can remove without worries.

that appears to not just be the radio but the upgrade to MJ9 firmware, there are separate radio only custom recovery flashable zips. The file you linked appears to be the ODIN update for firmware (this file was required to upgrade from jellybean to kitkat/lollipop).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598225 (post #2, in context of that thread is good)
fallen00Sniper's repo of files (including the mj9 firmware and nd7 radio)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35087
His repo (radio & root folders) has all the files you should need AFTER returning to PRE-MJ9 stock (PRE MJ9 return to stick is important if you desire stock to retain the ability to unlock your bootloader for AOSP based roms like CyanogenMod, etc.)
read up, proceed with caution & good luck!

Thanks for catching that for me, I was looking for the MJ9 radio, because right now I am on Baseband VRAMC3, and I wanted to give this rom a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765021
I am coming for 4.1.2 so I thought I would have to install the MJ9 radio, I did not realize I could just install the ND7 radio instead?
So do I just need to install the custom rom and the radio from the fallen00sniper downloads, and can I do all of this with TWRP, or do I need to odin it?
Thanks!
So I put the ND7 radio in via TWRP in my 2 notes. Seems to be working fine so far. I realized I could not do this with odin as they are zipped.

rule of thumb, you only feed odin .md5 files (and maybe the occasional .pit file, but the pit file is only used for a return to VRALJB stock clean slate scenario, for those of us with unlocked bootloaders)
to borrow a line from the battlestar galactica "All this has happened before. All this will all happen again". so instead of explaining i'll just provide a few links to good reading material.
to upgrade your i605 to the KitKat/Lollipop world, you will need that MJ9 firmware update installed via odin... just unzip it to get the MD5 file.
Instructions on how to get MJ9 firmware update via ODIN (AOSP Root/Unlocked Bootloader friendly):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598225
Note: you have to unzip the file to get the .md5 file to feed odin... AFTER reading the link above, a picture is worth 1000 words, please see the attached image for what ODIN should look like after this upgrade.
EDIT: oops you are already on TWRP, skip this paragraph
FWIW, I've always been a CWM recovery guy (since the SCH-i510 days)... on my i605 i used Philz. My current understanding is that TWRP is the way to go now, here are a few links to get you started. (clockwork mod is no longer in the custom recovery business.)

I will not tell you what rom to use, but for me after graduation from TW based roms to AOSP/CM roms, my next logical progression was into the Nexus 6 world. it works on VZW, and the radios leave my options open.

jheide44 thanks for all the info, I am currently sporting 2, Note 2's with CM12.1, one for biz, and one for personal. The Note 2 forum is getting quieter as the phone slips into extinction.
I was going to try a custom touchwiz rom in hopes that the Samsung software for my Galaxy Gear1 would not complain, but I doubt that is going to work, so I ordered a Sony 3 Android wear watch, hope it behaves well with CM12.1?
I am up to ND7 thanks to you and the links.
So is the Wilson CM rom faster than the official CM12.1? Might have to give that a try?
Take Care.
