Did you flash back to stock rom? Hard resets on a custom rom don't get rid of custom settings. You need to flash the stock rom.
Alright so you mean odin? Which is the best one to odin too, i see there are two, or is there another? THe ones i see is

If you want to flash through odin follow the first thread. You could try this thread its a flashable update.zip through clockwork if you still have that installed. It gives root back but is a stock rom. Just unroot again after you are done.

Yeah I just realized that. Odin would be the next step. If you can't use odin reroot, flash the rooted stock rom the unroot again.

Yea i saw that one. How is the 3g speeds and stuff on it? I read 513 pit is bad, and that one is a pre-release or beta?
Ah it looks like justanothercrowd said its from the same source anyway so i guess it doesnt matter.
What would all of you do if they came up with a sure fire way to know if you have rooted your phone or not. Something that nobody, not even top developers could crack. Then what?
haha well i just odined back I just wanted to try this stuff out never did before
I would like to update to mf3 but after doing the ota update it reboots to recovery but I now have twrp instead of the required stock recovery...
After doing a lot of searching the only solution I found was to flash the official firmware with odin, but I'm assuming I will have to do a factory reset after this?
Is it possible to replace twrp with the stock recovery without having to do a factory reset or is there another way to get the mf3 update with twrp? (I'd rather not have to re-install all my apps and settings)
I hope my questions make sense its late and I'm tired.

There is always a risk of screwing something up...so read the thread, follow the directions, and decide if you want to take the risk..it's your decision.
Why not just flash a sweet custom rom like omega v9.0? That's the best thing about a custom recovery. It makes it easy to back up your current content and then try out a wide variety of mods and roms.
It's kinda counter productive to flash a stock recovery when you are trying to mod or customize your phone.
Odin is the cats butthole when trying to return to stock. Also, read the poop out of these threads... somebody has done what you want to do already so most things can be resolved with the solutions others have presented.

The OP said he wants to update to MF3. I can't figure out why anyone would willingly do so either, but it is his decision. Personally I would also just flash one of the MF3 ROMs or International updated ROMs and still have the ability to use custom recovery with the benefits (I don't really think there are any) of MF3.

You can flash your recovery with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/revocery.img
I ended up just flashing the modem it seemed to be the safest option

I rooted my AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 a while back using Motochopper and it worked absolutely fine. After installing Cyanogenmod, I decided to go back to stock. I used triangle away and Odin to return myself back to stock, however, I always had issues. When I would recovery boot, I got an error and I couldn't wipe my cache partition. I tried to re-root my phone today using Motochopper and then Odin, but neither of them worked. I got a fail on both of them. Motochopper installed Supersu on my device, but didn't actually give me root access, and Odin just gave me a fail. Now, my phone is working with stock, but I still get errors in recovery mode and I can't root. Can someone please help!?

That's what i was afraid of. With mf3 you can't root with motorchopper or flash roms like you could on mdl. You also can't put on a custom recovery. Give me a second and I'll give you some links.

MF3 has a completely different root and recovery method now. Search the threads and you'll find them. Unfortunately it's pretty risky as you won't be able to flash back to stock using ODIN on MF3.

First, there is no way to go back to mdl. Idk if you'll be able to get the 4.3 update but I would assume so since you are on the stick firmware now. But, each new update is going to make it harder to root your phone or run custom roms. So you probably need to choose whether you want to keep your phone stock and take updates if and when they come out. Or have some snooty to run custom roms and root your device and put safestrap on.

Shouldn't, your stock mf3 right now.
Just got my note 3 yesterday and I am no stranger to rooting, roms and everything in between. However I've never owned a Samsung phone before either so I need some help. I've been reading through the forums but things are still a bit fuzzy. I am assuming my phone is on nc4 according to what my settings say. 4.4.2. I rooted using towel root and such is up and running. Safe strap installed. I have also downloaded Odin and a stock 4.4.2 system image file for a restore if need be. Now do I need to flash a nc2 kernel before I flash any roms? How is that done? And my model is smn900v. Which is OK to flash miui for smn900 models right? V just meaning Verizon correct? Thanks for any and all help!

Okay, I'm assuming you're on NC4 since you used Towelroot. You can flash roms but since the bootloader is locked no CM, AOSP, AOKP or Miui as far as I know. No custom kernels yet either so don't try to run any apps that change the governor or CPU frequencies. It may happen in time but not yet...:fingers-crossed:
Beans has a guide here and roms in this link read the first two posts : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627
Modems, you're on the NC4 modem but we can change modems even though our bootloader is locked. You flash them in Odin. Put your phone in download mode and flash the modem in the ap slot. Modems can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47400062&postcount=1
You may want to stay on the NC4 modem. I took the NC2 leak from 4.3 and that modem didn't work well for me at all. I'm on NC2 with the NC4 modem. Modems depend on your phone and your location. Some people haven't seen a difference in NC2 vs NC4, some people went all the way back to the MJE modem. It's something you have to try for yourself but if your signal is good then leave it.
You put on safestrap so you're good there. Don't even try clockwork mod or rom manager. Safestrap is cool in the fact that you have rom slots. You can put roms in different slots and switch back and forth with wiping and reflashing. Kinda like dual booting your computer with OS X and bootcamp or Windows and Linux. Right now the rom slots work but people have had battery issues using anything but the stock rom slot so for right now use the stock rom slot and it's like old school flashing, there can be only one for now (Highlander reference). As of right I wouldn't dirty flash anything make sure it's a clean wipe.
Next, the rom you chose to use is pure personal preference, they're all good just make sure you read the OP and browse the threads to get an idea. If you get stuck just post a question. The crowd for the Note 3 has been the most courteous and helpful since I've been on XDA.

You should be fine, alot of the bootloops come from being on Nc2 and hitting reboot to recovery on the power menu. There's a fix for it but I just haven't done it yet. If safestrap is on and working properly just reboot your phone and wait for the safestrap screen and hit the recovery button. If you bootloop hitting reboot to recovery just pull the battery. Reboot to download mode and reboot to system from there.

Using TriangleAway app might brick ur phone and it might affect our phone, if u try it and it is Hard Brick and thats will be a problem over there.
Hard Brick and Soft Brick are different
Hard Brick is your phone is dead can't turn to recovery or download mode and you need to change ur motherboard
Soft Brick is usually just when you're phone is stuck in a bootloop, and as the name implies, is caused by a software error, usually the lack of a system to boot from or some other minor software bug that glitching boot. They are easily fixable by reflashing your ROM in recovery.

Since you want to update the phone, you can directly flash the latest using odin. It will remove the custom logo too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2926642
I have used triangle away on my phone (ATT S4) multiple times and have never seen any issue

Bah, I just following the guide to flash my phone back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504311
I boot it up and it STILL shows it as a custom ROM. What am I doing wrong? Why would it still say it's custom?

I had done that. I did finally get it working after resetting it a few times. No idea why that is though . . . Hopefully, I'll get those OTA updates soon so I can go back to enjoying my phone. I hate stock so much and don't see much point in making many changes since I'm going to just reload everything via titanium backup once it's all updated.
Thanks for your help!
