Root Verizon note 3 first time - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my note 3 for the first time with towel root. I have the latest safestrap. But when I go install my first rom. Phone goes into a reboot and shuts off for over 45 mind and does nothing except a blue light keeps blinking. Is this normal?

did you install on the stock slot or rom slot 1?
If you installed on stock slot, did you wipe it first?
My first thought is you probably soft-bricked it, and will have to odin back to stock. Theres a guide on one of the sub forums

Did you wipe everything before you flashed?

HELP!!

So I recently rooted my LTE Tab 10.1 after some errors on my part. I finally got root, and the bootloader unlocked (thanks to six5alive's post here) Here's what I have:
CWM recovery
unlocked bootloader
Rom Manager installed
SU permissions
I've tried flashing two different ROMs, and both flash without a problem. But when I attempt to reboot, I get the Samsung logo and a yellow triangle below it, and then the tablet shuts down. At first I thought it was just the ROM, but after flashing two, I'm getting suspicious. I have a Nandroid backup of the stock rooted ROM, and that restores & boots properly every time.
What am I doing wrong?
You might have root but from the sounds of it the tab does not like the insecure kernel hence the yellow triangle on the logo screen. On a tab, I am not sure how to get around this.
Why not run stock and use TiBu to get rid of the bloatware until you can find a solution? Keep a Nandroid of bone stock then another for your custom settings...

What roms did u flash...?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
Strange, when I flashed the ISI-Galaxy rom on my P7100 i got then same thing as you, when i turned the device off it automatically went back on with the same result. I had the idea that i was going to have to bring it back to the shop for repairs but... This happened while i was at work. So i placed the Tab in my backpack but when i got home a half an hour later the device was functioning again. So maybe yours needs some time to get over this 'boot up'.

I flashed these, wiped after flashing each one obviously.

Both caused the triangle issue, so I just restored the rooted stock ROM I'm running.

Next time please use the edit button.
I think I have an explanation as to why its crashing. The ISI-Galaxy Rom and P7500XWKK4 Galaxy Tab 10.1 / HC 3.2 ROM are for the P7100 model. Yours is the SCH-I905 model so the roms you tried to flash are incompatible.
Just realized that ZangetsuNX-01 is right, I've been flashing WiFi-only ROMs, not ROMs for the Tab 10.1 LTE. Downloading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17858660#post17858660 now, will flash and post results here asap.
UPDATE: got a leaked TW ROM to install via Odin and boot, posting this from the tablet. Added a screenshot for kicks.
BTW, for anyone with an LTE Tab, flash this via ODIN NAO!!!!
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10463-ro...x-leak-build-for-vzw-galaxy-tab-101-lte-only/
It's unrooted, with stock recovery, but you can follow the directions on the page to get root, it's simple. Just Odin a recovery .tar file, go to recovery, flash SU zip, and voila. Running it at 1.4GHz max, 1GHz min, and it's awesome. TouchWiz is also a nice step up from stock HC.
@Mardenator
your screenshot a looke liek from my adwluncher from my tab...

I'm not sure what the question here is, but I was suggesting that if you have an LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1, you should flash the ROM that I provided a link to. It's a good ROM, and I've been running it for 2 days now.

[Q] Stuck at Yellow Sprint Screen

While trying to do the hotspot mod on my Sprint Galaxy s4, something went wrong. Phone will not boot past Yellow Sprint screen. I have tried full system reset by flashing stock rom with odin, but still no go. It says pass, but when rebooting, still stuck at yellow screen. Any ideas?
How long are you letting it sit there. It takes a few minutes to boot sometimes after a reset.

did you make sure you installed the right version??

strange odin always works for me...it takes mad long to boot but it works
Did you not take a Nandroid backup before trying this? If so restore.
This happened to me as well. Went ahead and restored. Then flashed stock with no root. Installed root and TWRP. Flashed through Odin Noobnl's bootloader upgrade file and then the latest stock kernel. Then I did a factory reset and the hotspot mod appeared finally and all is good.
I'm pretttyyyy sure the hotspot mod is for deodexed ROMs only. Make sure you are deodexed and not odexed. That will cause you to get stuck at the Sprint boot up screen.

Oh my fault, didn't know that! Maybe he flashed the opposite one that he was supposed to then?!
PS- To the OP... this thread is probably gonna be moved to Q&A.
I had this happen the other night while flashing both hotspot mod and 4 in 1 reboot mod. The only thing I could come up with (why it didn't work the first time but worked fine second time) is that I flashed from internal sd the first time but from my external the second time. Unfortunately I couldn't restore my nandroid because my phone wouldn't recognize my 64gb sd card while in recovery. (OUDHS)
To get out of it I just flashed crawj's stock rooted odexed ROM and then re-flashed both mods (from external sd) with no problems at all.

OK GOT IT! Flashed a stock MDC ROM. It reset but keeps asking for a software update. I am a little nervous about doing update because I don't want to lose root.
My friend has sort of the same problem..but his is not app related. His phone just rebooted itself out of nowhere yesterday...he is 100% stock..not even rooted...it also hangs on the horrid yellow Sprint boot screen....it will boot fine into safe mode. So I rooted it, installed a new stock rom/modem/kernel...and still he is having the same problem. it can not be the battery otherwise safe mode would reboot too...but I am at a loss here..some other random hardware failure from some app that isn't loaded while in safe mode??
Same issue, please help

Did you figure out a fix for the stuck at yellow sprint screen? I too, installed the odex file and am now stuck on the yellow sprint screen. my phone doesn't boot up. I went into the cwm boot up and selected restore but that didn't fix it. I went into the normal boot recovery mode and selected data wipe/factory reset and it said that this was completed; however, I'm still stuck at the Yellow Sprint Screen.
Does anyone have a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please help somebody! I am in the same boat. Call me an idiot (I deserve it) for not making a backup after rooting.
Can someone please do a step by step on how to get past the annoying ugly yellow Sprint logo screen?
So I'm stuck as well on the Yellow Sprint Screen on boot. All I did was qbking77 root and wifi mod. At the end following his video he said to reboot the phone. Well now I'm stuck. I'm ODEX MF9 with 4.2.2. I followed the instuctions step by step, not sure what happened. Any help please? Thanks

i need pro help. i think i bricked my phone

sph-l720 4.3 rooted by cf auto root
I put system files in the phones framework folder to hack free hotspot. I rebooted and the phone was stuck on the yellow sprint logo. I pulled the battery and used odin to i guess flash mf9, then cf auito root. last time i was stuck on this screen this worked.
But now i'm screwed.
I tried a wipe factory reset and it still didn't help.
I flashed a kernel zip file using odin by accident (KERNEL - SPR _ L720vpuamf9-1372121308)
now it boots and gets stuck at the same screen but the screen is blank. only the blue light lights up.
any clues???
now it says set warranty bit kernel, when it used to say set warranty bit recovery
You cannot go back with Odin to MF9 once you are on MjA.

EDIT NEVER MIND I didn't see that first part about 4.3!
Hello Sprint I've got a TEP claim for you.
Okay well maybe not totally there yet. There are a couple threads on how to get 4.3 to boot do spend some time searching reading, and then read and look some more. Good place to start would be here

Flash KT kernel 4.3 if you are on mja, that should fix it, if not, make sure you have a custom recovery(not TWRP) and flash the stock 4.3 rom in the dev section
thank you...

i just have to get it replaced.
I never fully rooted. I had stock recovery and binary ond kernel. I just has su.
I screwed the pooch on this one. Thanks anyway guys. I will get a new one. Or maybe a note 3 in its place. What do you think?
If you can get to download mode it's not bricked
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Your not bricked
This is exactly the same issue I had. You tried to downgrade after upgrading and flashed some stuff to fix it right? Yeah bad idea. Anyway.
Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506562
Follow it step by step. It solved my issues.
I already sent it out to be replaced
I have insurance through a 3rd party, so it might be forgiven that I rooted it. If not, and they send it back to me, I will have to rely on all your helpful guidance. I am very grateful. You guys rock.
Just so its as clear as can be, here is a list of my mistakes. LOL
1. I did try to take the OTA update. It didnt take and only messed with storage for some reason. Not broke yet.
2. Flashed back to MF9 with Odin 3 v.1.87. Oops.
3. Flashed MF9 and CF auto root a few times back and forth trying to get it to take.
4. It is a bit hazy here, but I tried to use odin 3.07 to go back to mf9, but it wouldn't work. I instead used odin to root the f#cker and to my amazement it worked. Now I was rooted on 4.3! MJA I got the idea from this thread>>>>>>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511209
5. Then it was all gravy for a few days minus the annoying security notifications every so often about an app trying to access the system..blah blah blah. I wanted my hotspot hack back (the entire reason for the root) so I placed the altered system files in the framework to allow for hotspot service
and rebooted. Thats when **** got real. it booted up to the full yellow screen that shows the sprint logo. The blue led was strobing slowly and it just stayed that way for a few minutes. I got scared and tried going through steps 1 through 4 again to no avail.
6. Then I really messed up and flashed the MF9 Kernel zip file by mistake or maybe more out of desperation, and all that did was make the screen black after the samsung logo, but the blue led still illuminated.
All well, I already sent it out. I should get a new one soon.
If they dont let me swap it I will upgrade to the note 3.
Any ideas about the note 3 vs the sgs4, except for the obvious size and Ghz difference?

Booting to an OS after root

So I decided to finally root my note 3 (for the first time) with 4.4.2 using towelroot, ss 3.72 and hyperdrive as my rom.
I created another rom slot, wiped it, then installed hyperdrive to the new slot, top of screen shows green and a successful install, rebooted system, safe strap splash screen was green, but then went black, after 30 min no response, had to pull battery and start up.
went back to the stock rom, but it shows "rom-slot1" in red at top of screen and install option is in red, activated rom slot 1 rebooted, safestrap splash is in red screen goes black, after an hour no boot.
Help much appreciated

Hey donc.
So i tried the factory reset, the Odin recovery was still telling me to go to verizon dealer, rebooted the system been black for an hour, had to do battery pull, also can no longer find the download hyperdrive file for me to install on stock rom.
Safestrap 3.75 will make room slots. But you have to flash the modem after the install. If you look in the android development forum here you will find the way to do it.

You might have Hard bricked your device. Are you unable to power on and not boot into bootloader? If it does boot up, boot into the bootloader and reflash stock firmware.
Yes its bricked . Changed out motherboard. Now it's having issues connecting to my network.
