But what about those of us who are on Macs and do not have access to a windows machine to use ODIN? Is there a way to flash back to DI18 or do I pretty much have to start begging random people to use their computers?

Why not just search for the stock di18 zip and flash it? No need for Odin. Exactly what I did.

So I would just need to put the update (I actually have it) on my sd card as update.zip and install it as an update just like I did with dk28? I apologize for being very fail at knowledge.
Easy method i use and worked and removed root/clockwork... with out odin..
For you those going back to stock or are stock and u flashed 2.2 and want to downgrade or resort back to stock use this method.
Rooted/clockwork users skip the first step...
1. Do the one click root/clockwork/etc Here
2. Flash the d118 modem Here
3. Then Flash the zip file Here
4. Then flash the get rid of clockwork zip Here
5. Your are back to stock without using odin yay!!!
Now all links work!!! and added a step use this method to return to stock with out odin.

Sorry to double post, just wasnt sure which threads you were checking, but in step 2 when it comes to flashing the modem updater file it wont work, i can install the kernal and rom fine, but the modem gets an "installation aborted" in clockwork.

This will not, however, update your modem back to DI18, anyone have any ideas?
When I went from dk28 bac to di18 I used odin, make sure you have samsung mobile phone drivers, when I downloaded the dk18 tar file the first three times odin said bad mp5 file..I closed odin opened it again, downloaded the exact same tar file and it worked the fourth time. Make sure the f.reset button is deselected and you don't need a pit file....hope this helps

Go to sammobile.com. you can find stock firmware there. You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file, use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin.

Use mdl. Odin is a separate program and is not us or Canada. Read this guide and use the tar.md5 for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924
Take your time and read the guide more than once. You can permanently brick your device.

When you use Odin, let it do its thing. It'll take 10 to 20 minutes. Don't panic in the middle and unplug the usb. Be patient. And make sure you use the file you're downloading from sammobile. Don't use any of the links in the guide, except Odin. The other files are not for your device and they will brick you.

Did you have "repartition" checked in ODIN? Because if you did, you shouldn't have.
If not, try to get into recovery (if you can) and try a factory reset.

For some reason my recovery wont work? maybe thats it? all i know is my recovery wont boot, and i flashed a bad kernel. I have my twrp backup on my external sd
Also... all i had checked was auto reboot and f. reset time. I flashed the reset file with pda box checked.
forgot to add. i flashed the file with those two boxes checked and it said pass. I think it must be the kernel or the recovery? how do you flash these in odin? I bet if i can track down the stock kernel and get twrp again it may boot.

If you are positive you can not get into 3e recovery, you might want to go to the OUDHS CWM thread in the development section and look at the OP for a method to install that recovery via ADB shell. If you can get it installed, you can then flash another ROM to get up and running. Then, if you desire, you can use GooManager to put TWRP back on your phone and restore a working Nandroid you might have. Or you can just set things up from scratch. But all of this is only if you can get into recovery or get a recovery installed back onto your phone.
If you tried to install the wrong Kernel for your phone, you might be hard bricked, in which case Jtag might be your only hope.

I hope you get it figured out. But let me tell you what I DID and had the same outcome with NO RECOVERY at all, black screen with vibrate only. So what your describing sounds EXACTLY what happened to mine.
So I was "TRYING" to make a custom splash screen as I had for my SGS3. (Which messed with the kernel). When I went to boot up after the flash it did the black screen with vibrate.
I COULD get into DOWNOIAD mode but not recovery at all. I tried for a few days. I was worried my battery would be getting low after trying for a few hours. I tried to plug it in and the battery came up but it acted like it was stuck and nothing would happen.
Next I tried to use Odin to flash back to MDL stock firmware. It would flash and said completed. But upon reboot same half/vibrate screen.
Next I tried MDB firmware. STILL a NO GO. I had to send it in for JTAG. I think they had some issues getting it working as well. It arrived on a Thursday, and they did not finish getting it to where their site showed it was completed for 8 days. Then it didn't get sent out for another day. It finally arrived at my house 10 days after they received it. But GLADLY they were able to fix it. So good luck to you. If you do have to resort to JTAG it cost me a total of $90, Almost $30 dollars for me to TWO DAY it to them. $60 for JTAG and rush delivery.

Sorry to hear Odin didn't work. Odin does put the stock recovery on your phone in the correct partition if every thing goes correctly. But if your hard bricked Odin won't recovery the phone.
Try what Scott suggested but it's looking like jtag may be your best option at this point.

hell yeah this phone is hard bricked. But att was cool and let me return for a new one. Really no questions asked as long as you didnt damage it or get it wet. Rip to my first gs4. But the good thing is is that it should only take like 2 days to get a new one, because the first one shipped pretty quick. Thanks for all the help guys
Hey everyone.
So I jumped the gun and tried to install a custom recovery on my GS4 with MF3. Big mistake, I know. Lucky for me the phone still booted, just recovery was shot. I tried all night to find a solution and all I could find was people referring people like me to Best Buy to maybe get the phone reflashed.
Well, I just fixed it. My wife has a GS4 with MF3 as well. I downloaded an app called "[ROOT] Recovery Tools - Flasher" from the Play Store. Both phones were rooted. I used the tool to "backup" the stock recovery from her phone, I then copied that file from her phone directly to mine. I used "Flash Other Recovery" and selected the backup file from her phone. SUCCESS. Stock recovery was now back.
If you cannot boot and can only get into the "Downloading" screen, then perhaps the backup image from Recovery Tool (An IMG file) can be pushed using Odin? I have no idea. I'm no dev, but I'm very happy to not have a broken recovery anymore.
I was lazy and just used the first file host that popped into Google, but if this works for you then please mirror for others!
Remove the hyphens and copy/paste (I can't include external links, as this is my first actual post)
h-t-t-p://w-w-w-.filedropper.c-o-m/331
Hopefully this is new and I'm not just repeating something everyone already knew, but I had no luck finding a fix for a corrupt MF3.
Good Luck guys, and I take no responsibility if you damage your phone somehow.
EDIT: Apprently a method already existed, although this method doesn't wipe your data!
You could have just used ODIN to flash MF3. You might lose your personal data, but you will have a clean install with recovery. Maybe the method you used might help others that don't want to lose their set-up (personal data and apps) and just need to get the stock recovery back. Thanks for posting about your experience.

Nice! Somehow I missed all of this. In any case I was successful in solving it myself. Hopefully the information will be of some use to someone, even if it's just in not having to wipe their phone. Thanks for the information! I guess having multiple options is at least handy. If I hadn't already figured out a solution you'd have been a life saver though, really. I mean the phone worked fine, but having a broken recovery is just... disconcerting... Lol

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

Please can you good people inform me, what is the procedure to do the same step-by-step.
PS: I guess I have to use the Philz and odin.. but can anybody tellme complete procedure. I wana completely delete cache, partitions etc etc.. that is needed.
Also, if I use this method how to upload to the phone the actual Official OS? I know it can be downloaded via sammobile but is it possible to DL from Kies and upload via odin ?
UPDATE: Well, can you please tellme how can I erase cache/dalvik cache/partition from my current stock recovery (using Lollipop 5.1.1)
Yes, download an official firmware from Samsungupdates.com or sammobile, flash it through odin and then boot into recovery and clear data and format system.

Haha yeah I do have a lot of experience with that since I downloaded many firmwares and also roms. As for that virus thing It is just an Ad, don't worry about it I have downloaded firmwares from Samsunhupdates many times. If you don't like it Go ahead with Sam mobile. Once you download the firmware things will be very simple. But remember download the firmware for the country that you are in, for an example if you are in the middle east download XSG ...etc Just download an app called Samsung info From playstore and it will tell you what your CSC code is (country code For firmware) okay. Once you download the firmware tell me, so that I can guide you step by step.

Here is a step by step guide to flash a stock firmware using odin
http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-using-odin/
Once you flash the firmware, go ahead and boot into recovery, it should take you to the original recovery, not philz or cwm, the original recovery. Once you open it, go ahead and format And clear Your data along side the cache.
Ps: you will lose EVERYTHING that is on Your phone, but that's what you want right?
Goodluck!

Ps: you will lose EVERYTHING that is on Your phone, but that's what you want right?
Goodluck! [/QUOTE]
Mate, that was a complete ODIN guide and I thank you for that.
Now, I have to wipe cache/delvik/partition on my phone as I i have to get rid of sum weird errors and lags that only deleting this via Philz can do.
So please gimme guide/link of Philz as well OR even you can explain than i can follow procedure as you said.

Right from the start I just want to know how to install philz (Some say on SD card and some some other assorted ways) AND, after deleting cache/delvik/partition.... what command to give in order to flash through odin (I know how 2 use Odin).
Its simple - But then instead of answering this you are here to insult me... well, guess too much free time OR angry with your family & GF !?

What is your phone Model? N900? N9005? Tell me so that I can find a Philz recovery for you mate.
I highly recommend twrp as philz is no longer updated and was based on cwm.
Well actually am using international Note 3 Neo (Model: SM-N750).

Yes tht is my phone - Let me browse around, search videos on how to install & use this and revert back with any questions I may be having.
PS: The official Samsung Lollipop OS tht I want can only be downloaded via sammobile? Is It guaranteed to be 1-by-1 image of the original source...
You can just use Odin to flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com. Yes, it is original and untouched.

Mate, my phone is facing extreme lags and slowdowns after upgrading to Lollipop via kies.
Now this thing have happened in my old Note 1 with JB as well....
All-in-All, till I don't delete cache, dalvik and partition and reflash the firmware this problem aint gona solve 100% and hence want to use anything like TWRP etc.. to wipe tht first, but I had completely forgotten how I had done last time. BTW, after deleting the said phone cache etc.. I can directly rebot my phone go to odin and flash?
PS: I am still looking how 2 install twrp and under which menu I can find all those options - Gimme sum time to figure this out.
In some instances, stock recovery will go a better job of wiping the phone.

You realise you are in the wrong forums... right? The Neo has it's own forums at THIS Address so you should be asking your questions there. Advice in the Galaxy Note 3 forums may not work and may even brick your phone.
