lol I was just wondering if someone could help me with this. I got an unlocked ATT Note today. It came with an ICS Rom on it. I wanted the tmobile modem on it and it said you need a GB rom. When I tried to go into recovery, it took me to the android recovery, so I couldnt download a rom. I dont know how to use odin and i somehow got stuck in a boot loop, help?
I am a bit of a noob but I have rooted my sprint note 3 which came out successful. I have rooted my galaxy s3 before in the past and flashed many roms without any issues.
Once I rooted my note 3 I ran the stock rom for a week and then decided to kick it up a notch and flashed the bonsai rom, which worked fine until i discovered the camera didn't work. Before I flashed the bonsai rom, I did a backup of the stock rom via cwm. Once I figured out the camera didn't work with the bonsai rom, I reset and wiped the data for my phone and tried to restore the stock rom which i figured it was a boo boo because I got stuck in a bootloop so I reflashed the bonsai rom back on my phone until I got back home to my pc. At that point, I decided to unroot and return the phone back to stock. I used odin and followed unrooting instructions to a tee and I had an official stock firmware, but odin failed and I think I may have soft bricked my phone. In a panic, I downloaded a "rooted stock" rom and flashed that...after a few bootloops, I updated my cwm recovery and superuser app...and my phone has been working fine every since (whew). I really want to unroot, then re-root and just run the stock rom without flashing any more custom roms, however I am afraid of bricking it again.
I have the stock official firmware N900PVPUBMJ4_N900PSPTBMJ4_N900PVPUBMJ4_HOME.tar.md 5 which to my understanding is android 4.3. I do understand that 4.4 is out. I was wondering is it ok to flash the 4.3 using odin to return my phone back to stock?? I've been spooked ever since my soft brick encounter. Any info will be helpful. Btw, sorry for the long story. I figured I should give all the details. That would help me get to the bottom of it all
Thanks in Advance!

Depends on what version you are running, but sounds like you are on mj4 still... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657828 this one is mj4 (4.3), if you are on 4.4 you need to go to the Android development forum and use whatever version you are on, just look for rwilcos one click.

I need some help here...phone may be done already though. I was on Jkruse's NC5 Verizon ROM. I was on MDK and had unlocked bootloader. Recently I tried going to Recovery to try and flash a new ROM. I got a Verizon message saying that there was unauotherized material on my phone and to turn it off and bring it Verizon. Suposedly the issue is that the kernel was not Loki'd, however it was Ktoonz kernel so not sure why that would be the case.
I just tried ODIN following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
It flashed the Factory MDK image succesfully and now it just sits on the Verizon boot-up screen. I think I may be out of luck at this point, but hoping someone can help me. Seems like the NC5 ROM really made the phone go haywire.
EDIT: I can get into the stock recovery, but it just won't boot up...sticks at the Verizon screen

I couldn't get into recovery man so I ODIN'd back to stock...now I just have the factory image and no custom recovery...I can't even get it booted up. I may just take it into verizon..
THANK YOUUU I got it to work...for some reason I had to flash the ODIN file multple times...also did a factory reset in stock recovery
So to start off I've got an s3 through the dreaded ALLTEL... I know there's hardly anything for it so ya.. I flashed cwm through Odin and installed supersu and quickly found out I had to go through Knox.. I went and ran the de-samsungnizer script to remove Knox so no more Samsung firewall crap.. Got it rooted and everything's good til I realize the main reason I rooted (WiFi hotspot) doesn't even work so I go back to Google and find a WiFi hack mod .zip and flash it now I'm stuck at booting.. Come to find out that somehow I've switched my phone to d2spr.... Or at least thats what cwm says when I tried to flash a d2usc cm11 nightly.. Dumb me i know i will be harshly scolded.. I didnt make a backup!!!! Now trying to get back to stock now... Thinking.. My wife has the same phone bone stock could I just make a nandroid of hers and flash over mine or have I turned my phone into a really nice paper weight???
Flash stock rom via odin, to recover the you'll have to start again, btw your in the wrong forum this is for int'l s3.
I rooted my wife's phone last week using KingRoot and the Super-sume. Installed Titanium Backup and everything was working fine. She was given a notice to take an OTA update today which she did. Now the phone is stuck on the Samsung screen with the unlocked padlock. When I boot into recovery, it automatically tries to install the update, but gets an error. It then reboots and just hangs up on the Samsung Custom screen again.
How can I get this back to stock?
I can get into ODIN mode if that helps.
I found this thread and downloaded the pit file at the bottom for the Verizon version. Is this what I want to flash with ODIN? Will this fix the issue?

So after more reading I don't think that will work as the phone was on OCT I think. It was on 5.0.1. I can't get it past the Samsung screen so I can't check.
Can someone please help....my wife is ready to kill me!!!!!!!
Nevermind. I figured it out. I found stock 5.0.1 firmware and was able to install it using ODIN. Working perfectly now.
