I have a AT&T Note 3 with build UCNC2, Kit Kat 4.4.2 and accidentally softbricked it and wiped out the stock rom. I have been trying to DL and install ODIN versions 3.6 through 3.9
and I cannot get it to install after a successful download. I keep getting a window with Chinese/Asian/Korean characters. Any suggestions???
Not sure where you're trying to get these files from...

I recently had my phone flashed to page plus with working 3g, and been talking with my dealer and they now have the 4g cards for page plus. In order to use them i need to be able take my phone basically back to stock and remove the flash to page plus from the phone. what is the best way to accomplish this is at all possible, could i just do an OTA update, or can i just download the stock firmware and flash it back using odin. Thanks

This is just a guess, but somewhat educated one. I would never take an OTA while running a modified ROM especially to try get back to a stock state. OTA are generally just patches not the whole system it most likely will cause major issues if not a soft or even worse a hard brick. I would go with the odin route for safety reasons but make sure you read all the directions and get the right images for your hardware model and maybe even the same baseband you were originally on before switching.
Lets see what other people think before you jump in...

Odin back to your the original firmware you were on before switching carries like the other person said. Your radio will be included in whatever full wipe Odin tar you use. How did you flash page plus? Did you just boot into download mode to do it?

You have to flash firmware compatible with your bootloader/kernel. What was/is your firmware version? It is under build number in settings/more/about phone.

Would that be my kernel? Or build?

You are on MK2. The last three characters of your build number tells you what firmware you are running, the last three under baseband version tells you what modem you have. This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 was created for the NC5 wipe and no wipe Odin Tars but the poster was kind enough to include links to the MK2 tars as well. Make sure you click on where it says MK2 for your downloads and flash in Odin via the instructions in the post and you should be good. Backup whatever data you need as you are basically going to be factory reseting your phone to MK2 so if you need text messages/call logs/contacts/calendar stuff back it up cuz you're going to lose it.
If I was helpful, dont just say "thanks"...click that little thumbs up.

I'm speaking entirely from ignorance but did you flash the right variant? E.g did you flash 925F firmware on a 925F device? If I were to hazard a guess (and that's all this is, a guess) I'd say your radio firmware seems messed up (with baseband also being unknown).
What happens when you revert to your original firmware?

Did you flash the 5.1.1 version and then the 5.0.2? Flash the 5.1.1 again.
Ok so i flashed official firmware,i now have signal but my imei number isnt right it reads as follows 350000000000006 it ses i am not registered on network. Imei sv is 01

How do i flash imei,could you point me in the right direction,im on 5.0.2
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Only way to flash it back would be if you made a backup of the EFS partition when you first rooted/installed recovery. The EFS partition contains all the IMEI data which is unique to your phone and flashed at the factory. Since you corrupted it, the only way to restore it would be to flash the EFS backup if you made it or send it back to Samsung for service. AFAIK there isn't a way to recover lost IMEI's if the EFS partition has been corrupted/wiped.
That's ducks really badly

Yeah. I suggest sending it back for repairs and when you receive the new one, root and do a backup of the EFS partition after root. There are several guides online on how to do a backup of EFS using adb/terminal emulator. Keep this backup in a safe location and don't lose it.
You can flash what you want now, nothing will help you. Your EFS partition is gone and without this specific backup you cannot restore the IMEI number. Send the phone to Samsung, they can generate the IMEI number and restore the entire phone.
new trwp recovery have a option to backup.. will post the thread here as little warning in the twrp thread..
Yep I always backup my efs/imei folder as soon as I root phone.

Hi.
I did the same stupid thing a while ago with the same result (without efs backup). Forget about reflashing. The phone is now a mediaplayer.
I asked our local Samsung repair shop, but they wanted to exchange the entire motherboard. Thats how they fix these things in Sweden.
BUT there is an easy way to fix it.
If you have been flashing 5.11, then I dont know, but if you havent, then you can contact an IMEI fix website, and they will help you
by remote service. It works perfectly well. You will get a new IMEI and new serial number. Send me a PM for a link. There is not so many
people doing this, and it took me a while to find the right guy, but guess if I was happy when it was fixed
It will cost you some dollars (60 in my case), and you cannot upgrade to 5.11 later (I dont know why), but thats better than brick.
Hope this helps.

Is that actually legal? I'd send it to Sammy and get it properly fixed, rather than putting up with some dubious services. What if you want to sell the phone later? Have fun explaining why updating to 5.1.1 won't work. I wouldn't ever buy a phone if I heard that someone changed the IMEI. Changing the IMEI is usually associated with a stolen device.
I had the same problem (but IMEI dissapeared), when I flashed 5.0.2 didn't work. But Then flashed 5.1.1 and it worked. Try this. You will loose root.

You need to use the metropcs odin firmware, which you can get here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545070682210936
Then root following these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190
Yes it will work on marshmallow and on the 900t1
I got it rooted and twrp installed.. So after I flash that firm where do you have a link for the marshllow rom that will work on the 900t1 or will the 900t rom work if I flash if?... Thanks you very much for the help ..

CM 13 For S5 Thread
Use the link for klte (as opposed to kltedv, kltespr, klteusc, etc.). I would recommend opengapps or slim gapps
Stock based ROMs that should (no guarantees but definitely should) work for your phone can be found here:

Dude there is no difference.... just pretend its a 900t and follow the same directions. Mine is also from Metro and I have the 900t Marshmallow running on it and its awesome. On Lollipop my Wifi worked but the Wifi Calling kept cutting out and in a basement apt I was barely ever getting a call. Now with Marshmallow it's running at 100%... everything actually works like it should and its a joy to hear the phone ring all the time.
i just buy a galaxy note 3 sprint version and when i put its imei number here " imei.info" i found that it is for a galaxy s4
please tell me what does it mean
is it a refurbished phone or a fake phone or just probleme with software

Sounds like you may have bought a phone that was flashed with the wrong rom. Or it was a refurb, Can you get into recovery? If you can then flash a n900p rom or better yet get a tar file of a stock n900p and flash through Odin. Once that is done contact sprint so they can give you the correct imei through the hands free activation.

Sounds more like someone had issues with their efs folder and used a backup from an S4. If it boots to android, it doesn't have an S4 rom flashed.

If you flashed the stock bootloader and modem for the n900p, through Odin. All you have to do is call or chat online, with the service provider for your phone. Tell them your imei number is corrupted or changed and you would need it corrected. I have sprint and told them this, they asked for the sim card number. Afterwards my phone did a factory reset and went through the hands free activation. This corrected my imei and I had to reroot my phone
