You should ask your question in : Sprint Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/help
They will answer and help you, this section belongs to "Android development only".
Good luck.

ok thank you

I'm that's mj4 from a quick look. If you were on 4.4.2 nab or even nc5 and tried flashing that mj4 in Odin. You more then likely bricked your phone. It's posted all over that you can't downgrade. If download is still accessible. I suggest downloading nc5 flash that via Odin.

I have followed this one.. downloaded the ME7 file...
It still is not working. This is not the only ME7 file I have downloaded and they have all not worked.
I have used multiple cables on the phone and multiple versions of odin.
They are all doing the same thing... I have been at this for HOURS.
I am seriously stumped....

I would verify the md5 to.make sure your not getting corrupted downloads. Its pretty common, but ya like hicks said you cant go backwards in firmware which is what you tried to do the first time around. It has to be an me7 image or ml1.

Google md5 checker or md5 verifier. Its a straight forward process. The correct md5 should be posted in the thread.

First, obviously, backup anything on phone. SD card is irelevent as it's not part of the wipe.
I would try using triangle away first( if you still have access to the phone interface) to erase flash counter, then do a factory reset through the settings menu. If that does not give you what you want then flash the mdk image.
It kind of sounds like your phone tryed to update itself. If your on mdk, DONT UPDATE once you get back to stock.

That doesn't look good. It appears that you have the proper MDK no-wipe, which should apply OK. However, while trying to flash the aboot, it's rejected. Normally there will be a message on your phone that tells you why the write failed. Normally, that's because the bootloader on your phone is newer than the one you're trying to flash, so it's being blocked. The message on the phone would tell for sure.
If you're been rooted and running a custom, ROM, you may not be able to use a no-wipe to restore to factory. Someone with a MDK phone will have to say for sure.
I misunderstood, I thought you were stuck, didnt see you were looking for stock. I believe K 1 mu right. I don't think the no wipe clears custom recovery. I think you need the full wipe factory firmware.

In the interest of getting you fixed ASAP: when you get the "Complete(Write) operation failed" you will also probably have a message on your phone reading something like "sw rev. check fail : fused 5 binary 1"
That "binary 1" means that you tried to flash a binary with revision level 1, or MDK.
The "fused" value is what your phone is currently installed with:
ME7: 3
MI1: 4
MJ7, MK2: 5
Once you know what "Fused" value you got on the phone, you'll know what to flash. You can't go backwards.

[Q] Error while using ODIN to flash to stock.

Hi, I'm trying to restore my phone to stock using ODIN.
I have Odin 3.09 and have the latest Scamsung Kies installed (for the usb driver).
The file I am flashing is: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23203820527944861
The message log I get from Odin is:

I can't do that anymore, a result of these failed flashes is that I can't boot the system currently.

What happens when you start the phone?

It says:
FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I tried using the Kies recovery, but it doesn't detect that the phone needs recovering (both on that screen and the download screen used for odin).

Are you positive you were on me7 and not mj7? Because the error you got for me7 looks the same as the one for mdk...

Positive. I had installed the rom/recovery before anything newer than me7 was released. And I remember when I upgraded from whatever it shipped with to ME7 because the upgrade window popped up and I tapped Install by accident. I had this installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840.
Edit: to confirm, I found my old post asking about the modules to get that rom to work on ME7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46944438
Was waiting for someone else to chime in who may know more than me. Have you tried booting into recovery from being powered off?

No problem, but yeah. After every failure I would battery-pull and go back into recovery.
Edit: Tried a different USB cable and a different computer today. No dice

So when you went to recovery it went to stock recovery I'm assuming? Or you got the error?
If it went to stock recovery did you try wiping everything before flashing in odin?

Err sorry, I meant download mode (Power+Voldown). If I try booting into recovery, I get the dead android: http://i.imgur.com/HRWVsvZ.jpg

Try finding a stock recovery tar for your build and just flashing that in odin.

I looked around a little and didn't fine one either. I'd try making a request thread, I'm sure someone knows how to make a tar of it you can use in odin.

Isn't the recovery contained in the larger firmware files? What gain would flashing the stock recovery get?
I'm thinking I might just take the phone to a Verizon store and say, "Samsung kies told me it was going to update my phone, I took a shower and when I came back it was like this".
Edit: I untarred the firmware file, and it contained recovery.img. Can I flash that with odin?

I believe it has to be a tar. If you can get it on there and wipe data/factory reset it may get rid of safestrap and allow you to odin the full stock tar.

The NAB file will fix your issues, but I'll address what happened so others can see this thread and learn.
On the Note 3, once you're on Kit Kat (NAB or NC5), you cannot downgrade to Jellybean (MJ4).
Trying to do so will cause the error in OPs post.
There are tons of repositories where you can get stock NAB or NC5 TW Roms (taking a stroll through the Developers Section will find them easily), so all you have to do is try one of those and all of your issues will be solved.

[Q] Soft bricked SCH-I545!! HELP PLEASE!!!

I made the mistake of trading phones with a guy whose GS4 was rooted with SS recovery and there were no MSD in it when we traded. I brought it home, restarted it. And it began to get stuck on the "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES & TRY AGAIN." which I know to not use Kies as it was useless to me when I had my first GS4 at time of launch. I am fairly new at this with a gs4. I have tried and tried with ODIN v3.07. I have been on here and looking through forums and I went to other forums besides xda with countless different trials. NONE have been even the slightest bit helpful...
I was wondering since it was stuck on the devilish yellow triangle screen. I can not even get past this to get the launcher... could ADB be the problem since I can't get it to even boot up to enable it?
before anyone asks, to which will waste both our time....
yes, i have used the stock vz firmware and placed it in the PDA section in ODIN
THIS IS WHAT I GET EVERY TIME.

Are you sure you were on ME7? You might need to flash a newer firmware.

This has happened to me about four times with my phone. I was able to fix through a process of Kies and Odin. It seems that if you do all that you can in Kies, as far as attempting to re-install the stock firmware. Kies has the drivers you need in order for Odin to work. You will need to run through the Kies process (it will fail), but you will get the drivers you need. You will then need to boot into download mode and do the Odin flash process. This is all assuming you have the correct files for Odin. You will need to flash the stock build afterwards unless you have a backup and are able to access safestrap which i doubt you will have.
