Ok, I've had this phone rooted since a few months back using the towelroot method, the phone has been giving me issues this past week so I wanted to do a factory reset and unroot the phone.
The TR method worked in rooting the phone but I was never able to access the recovery mode, something like seandroid enforcing error.
Well, I noticed in one forum that I would be able to use the updated SuperSU app on the chainfire website to unroot. I followed this process but still couldn't boot to recovery. I then dowloaded the mj4 tar and tried to push it through odin 3.07 and it says fail.
Now my phone is bricked, kies 3 doesn't recognize it for an emergency firmware update, and I'm in the process of downloading nc5 to try that one.
Please if anyone can help me out in figuring how to restore my phone I would greatly appreciate it, I start classes on Monday only have this weekend to fix it. Any advice would be awesome, thanks!
If you can boot into download mode ( press the power button, home button, volume up button, at the same time) great !! first download Odin to PC desktop here is the link http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 then you need an OS .tar ( kk 4.4.2 NC5 ) here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 download to PC desktop.
Extract the zip NC5 file to PC desktop this changes it to a .tar file. Now boot device into download mode, then extract and open odin on desktop, connect device to PC via USB cable a box in upper left corner will light up COM: doesn't matter what color it is just shows a connection. Click on the PDA box another box will open click on NC5 .tar file it should show in box to the right of PDA box. Now your ready don't touch anything else, click start and it will say pass when done this will take at least 15 minutes.
I have unrooted my Note 3 a couple of times, the best way is a new OS through Odin.

No problem, now that you are back with the living. Lol !!! Remember, once you upgrade to KK 4.4.2 NC5, you can downgrade to NAB but NO further !!! The bootloader in KK 4.4.2 NC5 will not let you go back to Mj4, you will soft brick the device.
Is your warranty still KNOX 0x0 ?

If you join the sam mobile website You can look your phone up by model number. Once you do download the .tar and open it through Odin. Make sure your phone is in download mode. Use the PDA box and locate the .tar and load it through Odin. It will restore Knox and reset your phone to factory.
Hope this helps.

Well actually to answer the question fully, yes they can reset Knox 0x1 warranty e-fuse. However, only for Exynos processor based note 3's. Sprint note 3's use a Qualcomm processor. There getting closer, you can read up on this in Developer Discussions/A few things about Knox.

Flash back to MI1. It does not support custom bootloaders.
You can use SafeStrap and that is about it.

You'll need to look at one of the other threads on flashing with Odin. You will need the MI1 Odin file.

Yes, it will wipe the phone and you will lose root.
I think there is a "no wipe version also" check the forums.

My S4 Verizon Does And Says The Same As His But My System Status Says Custom.
Ok, so I've had root for a while now, had safestrap installed and Hyperdrive RLS15 and everything worked fine. Today I tried to flash a custom kernel and I got an error message in safestrap, not really sure what it said. I then hit reboot and all I got was a series of vibrations every 5 seconds or so. I can get into ODIN, with a message in the top left hand corner that says:

Well by now you've figured out that you can't have a custom kernel on a SafeStrap Verizon S4 lol
Your phone isn't hard bricked either if it can still get into download mode. It's soft bricked.
You'll most likely need to use the full wipe Mk2 file in Odin and if it's not seeing you're phone tureen then you need to re install the USB drivers or try using a different USB cable and you should be good.

Yeah I was reading on that, some places say you can others say no, decided to give it a shot, clearly the wrong decision xD And I'm kinda familiar with rooting and flashing roms, but this is my first brick, and since it never got to the logo I assumed that was what a hard brick was, good to know thats not the case. And I've tried a few different cables, the only S4 one I have was chewed by my psycho cat so I don't think its working too good. I'll try and dig up a few more, also would it matter what version of Odin I'm using? Running on 1.85 right now

Well thanks for the help and the quick reply! I'm going to download 3.09 and try with a few cords I found. I guess if that doesn't work I know someone with an s4 who's cord I could use. I'll shout out if I get it working, and probably if I can't as well xD
Alright I ended up getting Odin 3.07, worked right away, flashed all the stock files and I'm back at stock unrooted! Time to re-root and salvage my backups that I'm glad I made. Thanks again for all the help!

I did but idk if I did something wrong, I soft bricked and had to odin back stock with the firmware off of samfirmware site
Kernel build date on NG3 is July 19 so the exploit has been patched. Can't root with towelroot since it needs a kernel build before Jun 3.
What I did was odin flash philz recovery, then went into the custom recovery and went to reboot, it asked me to root and so I did then was able to download su from play store and was rooted

Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.

And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.
The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.
Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

Yeah, I did it via download mode.
So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.
If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.
All good now =)

you need to revert to ne6 firmware for towel root to work. once rooted you can upgrade with mobile odin pro this will allow you to retain root and not trip knox

But as I commented on my first post here, nada, nothing, I have tried the Phillz, the CF-auto-root, downgrade, with the original cable and others, with and without the sim card and/or sd card inserted (all of this with usb debug on in the developers settings) i dont really understand why, everything I try goes to fail and soft brick, only recuperable with Kies and full wipe...
Mine is the MS-G900T with the latest firmware :S is very weird, isn't the first time I root a phone (Galaxy Vibrant and Blaze, Nexus and Nexus 7) and I have flsh a lot of times and I know the for this procedure you have to follow each letter step by step!
I'm start thinking that probably is a locked bootloader... dunno...
this was easy and thank you. i downgraded with the full stock file, no data loss. grabbed mobile pro and im now at ng3 rooted. tho my e-mail will not work. might have to factory reset the device.
I have been away from the boards for a while but I am back because I have a problem I need help with.

You could try to restore it to stock and try the ota update again. I know in recent years Samsung has implemented the KNOX warranty bit (switch) that gets tripped by certain root methods, flashing kernels, recoveries and is basically un-revertible.
Try out this guide below and let me know how it goes. I don't own a note 3 but thought I might try and help.

You guys can download the OC5 (Lollipop) tar from this thread and flash it using ODIN. **Fair warning: this will get rid of your root access and also any custom recovery you installed** If you want to regain root, you can follow the same procedure but with CF-Autoroot instead of the OC5 .tar file.
1) Download the OC5 .tar.zip file and ODIN
2) Unzip
3) Go to the ODIN folder and right click, select "run as administrator"
4) Click on the PDA button and select the OC5 .tar file you just extracted
5) Completely power down your phone (I pull the battery for a few seconds)
6) Enter Download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Menu + Power button, then Volume Up to continue
7) Plug in your phone and click start
8) Your phone will reboot and be upgraded to OC5 Lollipop
I am at work, I will try this this weekend.
Thank You!
I also received this message this AM, and am very curious...
Is Sprint basically forcing all Note 3 users to update to Lollipop?
Anybody have any additional info, by any chance? Even a suggestion of why this is or could be necessary...
I'm happy with my KitKat, especially since Xposed will cease working if I update...
Thanks!

Thanks for info. I figured i may have to lose root. However, im already on oc5 and still recieved the text. I originally flashed the nab and let the ota update happen. So i was stock unrooted oc5. Then i rooted by installing twrp with odin and then flashed that updatesu.zip in twrp. So why would i be getting an update notification? Is there a way that sprint knows my phone is rooted?

No, they wouldn't be sending that knowing your phone is rooted. Mine has been rooted with Knox tripped since the second day I owned it and I haven't gotten that message. Maybe it is their way of trying to get people on to the latest modem. They are are probably saying that they think you will have better service on the OC5 modem? As long as you made it to OC5, I wouldn't worry.
They just want you on 0C5. They dont care if you're on kitkat or lollipop
Got this message today as well.
I was also a recipient of this unwelcomed text. I've been on a MJ4 ROM for a long time and had no intention of upgrading, especially until Xposed framework works with Lollipop.
For those who took the update, anything good from it?
It's not all bad, definitely different then other android version but overall I think it runs rather smooth
Just odin oc5 modem not the bootloader. I wanna stay on kitkat a bit longer.

Here is the thread with the baseband/modem that you can ODIN to keep KitKat. There are instructions in the first post but don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions.
Would this work for MJ4 or would I need to upgrade to KitKat?

Just to clarify, ONLY push the modem through Odin in those instructions. I wasn't the only one stupid enough to try and push an OC5 bootloader on 4.4.4
Got it figured out with some help, but what a waste of time.
Ok so I was on Albe95 galaxy s6 Rom and i was experiencing alot of lag and got tired of not being able to rotate my screen so I was going back to stock OF1 and I forgot to use FlashFire instead of odin and just installed the the stock rom before wiping the S6 Rom off the system now I get stuck on the verizon Splash screen and Can't do anything is there anyway to fix this?

No did i need it before hand, im using my girlfriends old galaxy s4 SCH-I545 right now if thats any help
I'm also in this same mess. Deleted a few too many Knox-related files when not paying attention, got stuck on the redscreen during boot, and then proceeded to royally muck things up with a bad (read: incorrect) PIT and failed downgrades to OC1. No g/f to pull the Software Assistant from, and the (presumably) older version that I managed to find online never detects the device is present.
I'm still able to get into download mode, so I suspect that a full (good) OF1 bundle for Odin would make things right with the world again. Proper attempts with various OC1 bundles are being met with SW REV CHECK hate.
I should have just gone to bed at a reasonable time...
Use samsung kies. It's the easiest way to get back to OF1. It has instructions in the program.
Kies wasn't recognizing the device when I connected it. I finally found a copy of OF1 from AndroidRomUpdate and was able to get it on using Odin 3.10.7, it was even nice enough to keep my data Now to re-root...

Doh! I must have missed it then, all I could find was the zip file for a non-Odin install (from a working phone), I forget what the framework was called...
