I have a Sprint Mega SPH-L600 that I got with a 4.4 ROM that I just cannot seem to return to stock. I have tried all of Silesh's GT9205 ROM's with no avail. I have tried everything I can think of. I've downloaded every version of the stock 4.2 I can find but it always boot loops. I have also tried all of the GSM ported ROM's but they are the only thing that will flash to my phone. I have the custom Philz recovery that's how I'm flashing the ROMs. In download mode I don't see anything about knox. I don't believe I have it. My modem is still running the NA7. Is there any way to downgrade? My main goal is to open the diagnostic ports. But the CDMA dialer codes are non-existent in this GSM ROM. I am trying to flash this phone to Page Plus. What a hassle! Is there any hope Obi Wan Kenobi?!?! Thank you.
Be forwarned by using gt9205 roms on a sprint sph-l600 will mess up the wifi and lte thats why I made the mistake on 1st day of purchased the mega luckily I was able to get mega replaced no charge roms for sprint sph-l600 are not the same as other rom!

i have verizon galaxy note 2 and i flash dn3 rom but i decide to restore to stock rom cause i cant use unlock feature on dn3 rom...so i used odin to flash with stock rom...and here's problem..after odin show pass with green, my phone in looping in verizon logo..so i tried to do flash again odin show fail message and phone doesnt boot.. samsubgng logo poped up and go away like flashing..
i cant even enter to recovery mode..
i could enter to download mode but odin give me fail message...
what should i do...
Try using the .pit file also in Odin with whatever stock rom? your using hopefully it's not a 4.3 stock rom or you will be locked out from anything custom...
Once you have a custom recovery and using custom roms you shouldn't us Odin or Casuals unlock & root method ever again unless you have problems with recovery bootloops or radio etc...
I didn't understand what you meant when you said dn3 rom didn't have "unlock feature"
I've never heard of dn3 rom but I will go look.

Use this method and r515 build shared here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066 Thanks to AdamOutler
I didn't have any luck with the newer builds working. Take your time be patient if you run into problems after trying multiple times you can always revert back with your pit and stock rom. Keep that handy for emergency.
Once you get TWRP recovery with Casual your golden.
I suggest trying Alliance Rom build 25 if you like custom everything, like myself or give OhTrent Rom if you want something very sweet and simple for your Note 2! Other people might recommend something else....
Glad we was able to help!

Hi..
I just lost a phone and Asurian Insurance company just sent me a new Note 2 for Verizon (I605) with stock rom 4.3.
My question is is there a way to unlock this phone and load the custom rom ?
If there is could anyone send me a link and detail instructions how to do it?
I have heard if someone is on 4.3 they are stuck and there is no way out until someone comes up with a way.
Please let me know if there is a way to unlock and load custom on rom 4.3.
Thank you

Only way would be to send the phone to mobiletechvideos which cost.
There is also the option of safestrap which can be found under the development section. This doesn't unlock the bootloader, but let's you load some of the 4.3 based touchwiz roms. You have to root first before you can do that, and I have heard that saferoot works well. You also need to be on 4.3 mj9. There are 2 versions of 4.3 for this phone. If you are on the other version you can use Odin to flash the mj9 version.

I just ran saferoot and it worked really well and very easy way to root the phone. (Thx BluGuy)
Now what custome rom should I install? and I just use the Odin to load the custom rom just like before?
What about the Custom recovery?
Do I need to install safestrap as well?
I need help...
Thanks
First stay away from flashing roms in odin while on 4.3 mj9 you will brick your phone. Second you can flash any 4.3 rom over the stock rom with safestrap but!!! Make sure its a rom that can be flashed with safestrap no room for error here be sure, remember this boot loader is locked so no flashing roms in the other rom slots they still need debugging

Hi I am new to rooting - just did this the first time today.
I followed instructions here and got root via CWM
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
then flashed Gummy via these instructions
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-n...custom-rom-using-cwm-on-rooted-galaxy-note-3/
after first flash it was stuck in the boot
I flashed again as suggested in the above link if stuck in boot for 10 minutes.
It booted but got this many time 'process isn't responding' and got these options 'wait' or 'stop'
After 4-5 'waits' it booted...only to last 30-60 seconds while i tested an app or two ...then it would reboot.
I was on lollipop and now on 4.4.4 gummy. no problem during root. only problem seems the auto-rebooting
Where is this gummy rom?

Ok first the gummy ROM is in a AOSP rom for a 9005 AT&T device it is not designed for your phone if you are running a sprint note 3. You need to pull the battery then reinstall battery hold the power button the menu button and the volume down button at the same time once the phone boots up with a yellow triangle then push the volume up button. this will get you into download mode you need to Odin flash the stock lollipop operating system that was in your phone before you flashed the gummy ROM. There is a thread in the Android development section for Sprint note 3 by JairSantana that has a stock .tar of lollipop that you can download and odin flash with a PC click on my signature on ROM flashing basics for the instructions on how to do it.
i got the info from here:

i assumed it was accurate since it stated it was a sprint rom - but alas the above post by jim states otherwise...

I assumed it was true based on this site:

And the only reason I rooted and flashed was to get international sim unlock via SUU app (that worked under kitkat) but seemed not to work (crashed) when i was forced to upgrade to lollipop. (and to fix gps issues and mobile data widget which worked well on kitkat)
I assume flashing to stock lollipop will also NOT allow SUU to work.... (but this user says otherwise as I had asked before I rooted - as impatient for a response and thought I should root at long last to try everything else: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/help/upgraded-to-lollipop-ting-sprint-based-t3098952 )

Ok sounds good if you have any problems just go to my thread on rom flashing basics in the general section and that will help you with instructions on how to flash Roms just remember that you can flash a rom as long as it is based on the operating system you have in your device. Since you are on lollipop which is Android 5. 0 there are not many ROMs available so you may have to flash back downgrade to 4. 4. 4 to have a better variety of ROMs to flash if you wish to flash an AOSP ROM remember that it has been ported and you will lose some of the original features of your note 3.

YES you can use AOSP roms it's just that they have to be based on the OS that you have in your device and they have to be set up for a sprint devices. AOSP roms usually have different versions you just have to use the version that is set up for your device. The popular ones are CM 12 .
Galaxynote3root.com is a good site and has a lot of great info. just find the right version of the ROM you want to flash for Sprint devices on that website and you'll be good to go.

OK I just flashed MO AR rom and funnily it went from stock sprint 5.0 to MO AR 4.4.2.
Why ( how) did that happen ? Numerous ppl said you can't flash from 5.0 to 4.4...which is why I had all those issues with gummy and numerous other roms?
*still confused* )))
Hey guys. I just got my hands on a Verizon Note 2 this weekend and have managed to screw it up already. I am coming from the world of unlocked bootloaders with some background in Samsungs shenanigans. Anyway, I think I was on 4.4.2 which is ND7 (I honestly can't remember at this point). I I was able to root and install safestrap eventually. Then comes my stupidity, I forgot that I had to flash a touchwiz rom and flashed another rom and to add injury to insult, I flashed it in the stock slot and not the rom slot. Then I tried to restore my backup and it failed. Now what happens is I can occasionally get into the safestrap recovery and I try to flash Alliance rom and it still doesn't work. I try to boot the stock slot and it gets stuck on the verizon screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Any help? Please?
Can you bring in back to stock with Odin?
I never tried to install a new rom on any Note 2 that was over 4.1.2

Hi all. It's been a few years since I've done this. How do I go about getting the 9205 Roms to work on my M819N? I tried the regular flash in Phillz Touchwiz and it's not working for me. I used to do this all the time but I can't remember what I was supposed to do for the life of me. I'm going to try and flash the stock I9205 firmware in Odin and then go from there. Any input would help. I'm sure there's 1 minor step I'm forgetting somewhere.
