remove battery, boot into odin mode, flash mje and you'll be okay.
I did that I flashed in to odin and tried to return to stock but the custom screen still remains almost like im hung up in root mode
After flashing back to stock, reboot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset

Please Help
I don't know if this is the place to ask this and I apologize if it isn't. I am needing MAJOR help. My phone won't boot into recovery it will boot into odin and The Samsung Note 3 Screen that says Custom and has a lock. I don't know what to do and I am so stressed out. I shouldn't have messed with something i wasn't sure of

If it will boot into Download (Odin) mode, then it will almost certainly be able to be flashed back to pure stock using Odin. Just make sure to use the Odin file which is equal to (or greater) the release that was on the phone. For instance, if you were on MJ7, then you could use either the MJ7 or MJE stock Odin file, but if you were on MJE, you must use the MJE Stock Odin tar.md5 file.
Note that this will completely wipe your phone.
If you flashed something non-stock to the recovery partition & your device is a retail SM-N900V, you will have blown the Knox Warranty flag and that will not be fixed by flashing back to stock. However, that means almost nothing in terms of lost functionality (but it will mean your warranty is void).
good luck

Thank you for your reply, if this helps any when I rooted it a while back I used the Kingo Root, then today I decided it was being dumb I wanted to factory reset and that is when I found out recovery wasn't there. To be honest with you I don't know what was on there I do know it was Android 4.3 but that is all I know. I feel so stupid and at a lost. I have tried so many diff things and I fear I have messed it up worse. At this point I would just be happy with it booting up. Right now I have actually put my number back on my NOte 2 for now just so my kids can contact me if they need too etc. But, I have tried doing this in Odin N900vrubmj7 etc. and everytime i try to do it through odin it Fails. So would that mean I need to do the MJ5 that you mentioned. I greatly appreciate your help. Believe me i have learned a valuable lesson from this.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. You obviously aren't stupid, you asked for help. I had to reset my phone tonight from something I did in safestrap, no big deal it's all part of the root game. Shoot mine wouldn't get past the custom lock screen even after a battery pull. Anyways I would just flash up to MJE, root and be done with it. Look at it as a learning experience. Now you know what to do if the phone gets messed up again. Relax and enjoy the rest of the night.
Thank you

I appreciate that, so you are saying get MJE install that via odin? Then root and that should be it? My main thing is Odin keeps failing on the install maybe I am not using the right thing so I will look for MJE. I hate to ask this but could you give me step by step or direct me where? I appreciate this. And never touching my phone again after this nightmare!!!

Have you confirmed the md5 to ensure you have a good download? It might be good to redownload Odin and the stock tar. Also make sure you are using the latest and greatest Odin. In you are using odin for s3 you may have issues.

I'll take another shot. Have you tried checking the Nand Erase All and Phone EFS Clear check boxes in Odin with the MD5 and PIT files? I have done these on my phone with no ill effects.

Hello,
I've been reading as much regarding this issue before I've posted this thread. Please don't attack me because of my lack of knowledge, I'm trying. Thanks.
I recently rooted and installed a custom rom on my SGH-I337, Slimrom was the name of the rom. It worked perfectly, until I decided to upgrade the rom version. I downloaded the update on my phone, rebooted to recovery and flashed the zip. Rebooted my phone, and I'm stuck in a boot loop. No Logo, No recovery, I do have download mode.
I had read that odin flashing the stock rom would fix my issue, so I had done that. I flashed I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT successfully. Odin auto-rebooted....to a boot loop. No recovery, No image on my screen while charging, etc.
I had also read that odin flashing TWRP might fix the soft brick I'm experiencing, I downloaded the latest .img from TWRP and converted it to a tar using Cygwin. Attempted to flash it to have Odin tell me it failed.
Does anyone have any idea's or advice how I could get back to a working environment recovery?
Thank you for your time reading this.

when you flashed the rom update, did you do any sort of wipe as well?
when you flash the stock firmware via odin, you have to boot into the stock recovery afterwards and wipe data/factory reset to complete the process or you will be unable to continue. you may want to try that process again.

When I originally flashed the rom update, I did NOT wipe anything.
When I flashed stock firmware, I could not get into stock recovery via three buttons.

Thank you for the advice, I have done that countless times. I'm hoping that it changes one of these times though.
I took your advice regarding re-flashing the image and ticking the bootloader update option, odin stated it was successful and auto-rebooted. I pulled the battery and tried to enter recovery, no cigar.
Perhaps try the Heimdall route: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374441
When attempting to flash TWRP recovery, my phone says in the top right hand corner:
Odin Mode
Product name: SGH-I337
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled
START [224, 1440]
SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery
Don't know what that means.
I haven't tried the heimdall method yet, not sure if I wanna give it a shot because it seems a lot more complex only to accomplish the same thing odin would. I can imagine something is stopping odin from putting a bootloader, or kernel. That same thing would stop heimdall. But, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Waiting to hear more advice before I make the hole I dug deeper.
Thank you for your time guys.

damn im sorry it didn't work. Samsung is just making this device more and more unpleasant to own. I actually considered switching to a ONE today.
You can always try exchanging it via att warranty (free).
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Indeed the "easiest" way to correct this would be via a warranty claim... but would take a couple days.
Otherwise, when you said "updated the ROM" ... How did you go about updating it? I assume you downloaded a .zip from the forums here, and installed it through recovery. But if you somehow, by some miracle, managed to download the MF3 update OTA... that would explain many things.
Also, there's an MDL recovery located over in this post. It's odin-flashable, and works on my device pretty well. Maybe it will get you back to at least having a recovery?
Also, Odin will reject the installation of TWRP like that. Tried it myself once.

Hey, don't despair! Last time I was here I used Odin to reflash my stock firmware, and also the stock kernel. Did you try reflashing the stock kernel yet? That got me right out of it.
Strange that you can't get into any sort of recovery menu.

Does kinda sound like a kernel problem, I think... Might try just flashing to Kernel to see if it gets any further. You could do that via Heimdall (if you have it setup), or by modifying a copy of the MDL Odin package (e.g. delete everythine but the "boot.img" kernel file, and remove the .md5 extension).
I hope your break is refreshing.

What I did is just google around for my stock kernel, which came in a .TAR file, and was immediately Odin-flashable. That might be even easier.

I just reflashed the stock kernel, no cigar =( It is very strange to me that I can't get the phone to respond to anything other than download mode. Especially considering that I odin'd to stock. I'm starting to think I made it worse by going back to stock after flashing slimbean's weekly update.
Thank you for your time guys, keep the ideas coming, I'm definitely trying to come up with my own ideas.
I have so far done the following:
Odin'd MDL, MDB, Stock Kernel, Stock Recovery (All through download mode, as I don't have access to recovery.)
I've also tried to odin TWRP but I fail in Odin since download mode blocks the illegal recovery.
Thank you again for your time.

Im not so sure how everyone just over looked this but the rom in that link is for the att S3. So you flashed an S3 rom to your S4.
D2att is the s3 for att.
Jflteatt is the att variant.
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewcategory/620-jflteatt
Thats the correct link to weekly roms for slim rom for our device. your partitions might just be corrupted in case maybe having a jtag or using the pit file for MDL would fix? :/ im not an expert haha just observations.

Hey fellas. I have to take my hat off to all of those who have done some great work for the VZW Note 3.. Well to my issue now.
I tried to step back to the original release from the MJ7 (I havent read you cant do that yet but I think I figured out why you shouldn't). I wanted to deox, root and safestrap the MJ7 release and I thought this would be the only way how.
Anyways now I am stuck at the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant and try again" screen. I have tried to download the stock release from six different sources, all corrupt (one site, six different mirrors) and obviously failed.
Any suggestions? I need to go to work soon and my phone is very useful at work....
Thanks

Not sure of your exact situation, but you cannot flash MI9 back after going to MJ7. You will need the full MJ7 Odin file and most probably the pit file too.

Thank you very much anyways. I am hunting now for a root method, the only thing I can find currently is the king one... is it really that bad?

I used it. YMMV
For the second time today I've gone and done something stupid...
I had MF3 this morning, but the device updated OTA to MK2. I tried to flash via odin the MF3 firmware later in the day, and wham... bricked.
Is the MK2 firmware out there somewhere? Does anyone have any suggestions? If I can ever get this straightened out I need to read a lot more so I don't continue to make stupid errors.

I'm replying to myself at this point, but if anyone stumbles on this thread and was as silly as I was, I managed to get the phone working again by using the image posted on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118100
Sadly, the recovery is still messed up - but the phone itself boots and is rooted and that's good enough for me for one day. Time for me to stop being a monkey with flashing and be happy with a working phone for at least 24 hours.

I'm stuck in the same place as you. I was stuck in that odin mode, so I used odin to flash MF3 when I had the 4.3 MK2. That of course failed and I tried to recover on Kies and that didn't work. What'd you do to get it working?

If you go over to the thread in my last post and grab that recovery.img file, you can use heimdall to flash it. I expected this to restore the stock recovery and let me do a reset, but it didn't. What it did so is make the phone work exactly as it did right before it was stuck in odin mode. I'm not sure why that is... someone more intelligent than me probably knows. Like I said before, my recovery still isn't working however. At the moment, I'm going to be happy with a working phone until someone either
a) posts the MK2 files to flash with odin... then I can just start over
b) or someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader...

Thanks, I found that thread after I had already gotten the phone working (no recovery), and I was a little afraid to mess around with it any more. But with your words of encouragement I went ahead and did it anyway. Now I have a working phone and working recovery rooted on 4.3 MK2.
I stupidly tried to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the boot loader (2nd time rooting a phone) and of course now I get the message that there is software not authorized by Verizon, yada yada yada.....I can't use the phone. As I already said, I'm not very smart w/ this I guess. I rooted my phone with the new towelroot method and it worked flawlessly....but then I tried to go further and figured I'd just do everything necessary to run custom roms. Anyways, I've got the yellow triangle and I really really don't want to go to Verizon and try to talk my way into a replacement (I just got a replacement phone about 2 weeks ago) Is there any way to fix this? Before you reply, know I don't have a windows computer so I don't think I can use Odin, and my phone isn't showing up in Kies when I connect it after making sure my phone is in download mode. I'm at a loss.
Your only option is Odin, I would say find a friend with a windows computer... Then once you are back on track, read on this forum about safestrap before you flash anything else... Good luck!

Thanks. I know what I'm doing today now
Can anyone point me in the right direction to download the right pit file for use in Odin (Jodin3 to be specific). It's supposed to find the proper pit file automatically, but it can't for some reason. Oh, and I did do some digging....for some reason the only pit file I found (which was uploaded in Oct. of 2013) doesn't work. I can't find anything else other than that...if there is anything else.
I am trying to fix his phone for him but I am unable to find any full 4.4.2 Odin tars, are there even any available yet? The only ones I can find seem to be on websites I have never heard of haha.
Help Please

Glad I could be of some help
"Root my phone" she says, "It will be great" she says...That is what my girlfriend asked me but now I have her phone bricked and can't get it running again. Have rooted multiple android devices before but this one has stumped me. Tried to get old 4.4.4 OS on it using Odin and now I cannot get any OS on it. Even the original stock OS I cannot get loaded on, which I would happily take.
Things you should know:
-Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon edition
-Using Odin v 3.10.06
-Using md5 and .tar SM-G900V
-Phone can go into Recovery/Download Mode
-Odin sees phone and recognizes it, but when trying to load on OS it gives error failed.
Ask me for any other info, I would be happy to get it rooted, not rooted, custom ROM, just anything to get it running again.
Thank you very much.

I do not know, I know that is super unhelpful. But all it can do at this point is go into download mode and recovery mode.

lol no worries. To me, it seems like the phone was on OG5 (latest) or the one before that, which disables going BACK to an older build to be able to root...Are you using ODIN properly (sorry, I have to ask)
ALL files I've flashed go in the AP slot...so try downloading the top file of the two (seeing as it prob. isnt rootable anyway) http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/g900vvru2bog5-factoryodintarimage-t3179527
download, unzip if needed, and try flashing that in the AP slot when in ODIN...see what that does..

I will try it and keep you posted. I believe I am using it correctly, phone is connecting and it will start things but then the fail message comes up.

I know, just figured I'd make sure. I've messed up with it alot myself, trial and error.
Yeah if the error message pops up I'm pretty sure it's one of the 2 new updates...it kills root and backwards flashing

As he said in his first response to you, the OE1 and OG5 builds cannot be rooted, and likely will never be able to be rooted.

Glad that worked at least...but yeah you won't be able to root or anything until (if) they find an exploit..only time will tell I guess at this point....BUT you have a phone that works at least...

OK. Thank you very much!
I happily did exactly what TUTRider did, from trying to root, to bricking, then using roadblock's 6.0.1 files to unbrick, but I'm still getting stuck on the Galaxy splash screen. Odin 3.09 gave the load a PASS, and I 100% had 6.0.1 on it before trying to root. Is there something I could be doing horribly wrong, I'm fairly new to Android rooting, though I have a lot of experience with iOS jailbreaking.

If you're trying to root, you have to be on Lollipop. Can't root MM, but it IS possible to get on a pre-rooted ROM.
Go back to Lollipop, and follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
Once you're on Lollipop and rooted, if you can get your bootloader unlocked, then you can upgrade to a pre-rooted 6.0.1 ROM.
Go here to see if you can unlock. (Some phones can, some can't. Cross your fingers!) Read the "Warnings" section carefully, and look to see if your cid # starts with 15.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
If you can unlock, follow the instructions on that page carefully to do it, and then follow these instructions for going to 6.0.1 on unlocked bootloader:

Yes. We would need to know which 5.0/LP you were on. Such as 0A8, OC4, OD5, etc...as the person posted before me. You cannotODIN back to KK(4 4.2/4.4.4) if you were on OE1 and above...if you know exactly what version you were on, I'd suggest you grab that tar and odin. Best of luck bud and let us know the Version you were on before you attemptedto root.
