I have a verizon note 3 I ordered from insurance when my last note 3 finally bit the dust. My previous phone was running jasmine and stock using safestrap. I strove to do the samewith this phone. Instead, when attempting to use towelroot, it said my phone was no longer supported. I tried to find a viable nc2 and couldn't for the last week. Most links on this website are dead because note 3 is hardly supported anymore. I finally found one, one developed by hrsbad or one someone claimed was, the custom note 3 nc2. When I flashed it using odin, i get an error that pops up with Samsung splash screen, "kernel is not seaandroid enforcing" It then takes me to a yellow exlaimation point with "system software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest verizon wireless store for help. Is there anything i can do? Im sure there's a wiz out there who knows an easier solution.
I would appreciate your help very greatly, and if you could explain to me why i couldnt; use safestrap and even suggest how i could root an alternate way that would be super amazing. Thanks for any help you might be able to lend.
I have attemtped to flash all the nc2 and nc4 finally succeeding with one that had previously failed. The kernel error no longer appears and my phone is behaving normally. I have 4.4.4 and would like to root it, are there any options anyone knows of? Towelroot does not support my version, Im open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Thanks for your reply again, but I was wrong. I didn't try any of these because all the links I'd be interested in are no longer being served. Is there anywhere else I can get this at, or anything else I can do. Thank you again I really appreciate it.
thanks for your reply. did try the nc2 in AP spot of odin and it bricked my phone temporarily. Did I use the wrong one? or should I have used multiples of those to do it properly?
do you remember what firmware you were running before going full root? you'll want to get that img to flash. maybe nc4?

I have put nc4 back on. This is how the phone was shipped. But I was unable to root with towelroot, I am still without root. And that is the crux ofmy questions now, is where can I get nc2 so I can use towelroot, or is there a better method than that?
what I have tried
nc2kernel.tar.md5
VZW-N900VVRUCNC4-20140512165349
n900v_kk_firmware.tar.md5
It has been very difficult finding these files online, sammobile is where I got one of them, the other two were from a hsrbad post, a comment from "Dutchboy" who still hosted these files lead me to them.
it's hard to say if those work, what I'm trying to determine is the original firmware your phone was running before all of this. I'm not super good at this just fyi.. haha. i usually look for the modem and firmware for the "original" firmware from before rooting.

Sorry for the late response. School and work are kicking my butt. The original is hard to say, I attempted like five different roms after noticing that mine could not be towelrooted. all of these romsfailed, and one finally raised an exception with the security that temporarily soft bricked my phone, I found a nc4 on sammbile that was able to remedy that, but I'd like most of all to get this rooted and safestrapped again so i can dualboot as i had previously. I'm also pretty novice but i enjoy the attempting to do this stuff, even when it ends in me bricking my phone for the day :good:
so have you been able to get your phone running?

Towelroot was supposed to work on NC4.
You can not flash any ROM lower than NC4 due to bootloader. There is also supposedly a rooted NC4 here that you can flash...but towelroot should work.

Thank you both for your replies.
Towelroot had previously worked , this is an insurance replacement as mine bit the dust. I went to towelroot and to my great sadness does not work. I am using:
4.4.4
sm-n900v
n900vvrudnj6
kernel 3.4.0
Truly I'm novice so Im not positive if any of this can help or not, but do you know of a way I can towelroot?

Here's the story:
I got my S4 late last year, and decided to use qbking77's root technique to root my phone. After the 4.3 update, I no longer had root. Also, I had the wifi issue plaguing many S4 users at the moment. So I thought maybe re-rooting would solve my problem, but apparently qbking's method no longer works. So, being a crafty individual, I decided to revert to 4.2.2. I downloaded L720VPUAMF9_L720SPTAMF9_L720VPUAMF9_HOME.tar from samsung-updates and used ODIN to load it. Soon after starting the download, I received a FAIL notification in ODIN and an error in the download screen on my phone as follows:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : FUSED : 4, BINARY : 1
I have tried many versions of ODIN but cannot get the file to load. I really don't want to deal with Sprint over this matter, so any help would be appreciated.
[I am also downloading the 4.3 version from samsung-updates at the moment, but I have to get to bed, so I will try tomorrow.]

you CANNOT got back to MF9 or ANYTHING before MJA.
Grab the MK2 tar (OR MJA) - THERY'RE HERE LOOK.
Flash that in PC Odin and you'll be fine
Spend some time and read and you'll be Okay.

THANK you for reporting back! That is what this community is all about.
Since you have the lates firmware (MJA or MK2) you can now go root, install recovery (via PC Odin or goomanager) and then flash what you wish.
BUT please take some time to read through the developers OPs and followup posts - different ROMs require different recoveries and wipe methods. Recoveries can be switched in recovery too.
Good luck
Hi guys,
I came across this post while searching XDA as I am getting the same error (SW REV CHECK FAIL : FUSED : 4, BINARY : 1) when I try to install "L720VPUAMF9_L720SPTAMF9_L720VPUAMF9_HOME.tar" via various versions of ODIN.
A little background on my phone:
Sprint GS2 L720 that I bought used.The phone gets stuck on the yellow Sprint screen during boot-up. I don't have the whole story but apparently he tried to flash the phone and did so with the incorrect ROM. Rather than try to fix the phone he decided to sell it for cheap so he found a sucker (me) to buy it hoping that I could fix it. I don't have a problem getting the phone into download mode, just can't get the TAR file to install correctly. Since I've never had this phone in working condition I don't know what firmware is on the phone.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb or basic question but I'm completely new at this so any help you can give me in laymen's terms (or links to threads I should read or files I should install) would be greatly appreciated.
LeaderBuilder- You mentioned installing recovery via ODIN? Would you mind elaborating on this. I Googled "Install Recovery with ODIN S4" and came up with videos and links using ClockworkMod and TWRP but I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to. I just hesitant because I don't want to make matters worse or hardbrick my phone.
Anybody willing to respond and help me out- THANKYOU!!!
You install recoveries by using tar files of them

You are trying to install an older version of the stock tar. Once your phone has been upgraded to MJA or newer you cannot install older tar files. You can download the newest stock tar for are phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443
Install using odin 3.07 or newer. Good luck.
Thanks Cruise,
I read through all of the posts on the link that you sent and according to the original poster, flashing that TAR will trip the KNOX which sounds undesirable and potentially dangerous (at least according to the second poster). Is this my best best or only option? Sorry if that's a dumb question but like I said, I'm new to all of this and I really don't want to hard brick my phone. Ideally I'd like to get this to boot properly and bring it back to stock but it sounds like bringing it back to stock might not be an option at this point. Thanks again for your input and the link!

How is it dangerous to trip knox? I personally have it tripped and have really ran into any problems once I rooted. I couldn't install kernels for some reason but I think that was something o was doing wrong .

And it will NOT trigger Knox because it is a stock unmodified tar straight from Samsung/Sprint.

I got news for you, your Knox is already tripped. If the previous owner had already tried to root and install a custom rom that ship has sailed. Installing a stock tar does not trip Knox, installing a custom recovery does.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to follow-up and let you know that your suggestions worked and that I'm now up and running. THANK YOU ALL for your help and suggestions!
my Computer crashed on me a few weeks back and I lost pretty much all my files. Thankfully my personal files were all backed up, but none of my phone modification files survived. I meant to post here to ask for links and such, but couldn't remember what exactly I had. Then an update hits my phone. Never ever had luck updating a rooted phone. Always just ended up ignoring the icon until I got a new one. Well now there's TWO updates that I've fallen behind on......Better figure it out. So. Please. Help.
Info on phone:
Sprint L720T on MK5 Rooted stock rom.
My Question(s)
How to either un-root to get the updates OTA,
OR
How to flash updated stock roms
I've used odin, obviously, to flash the rooted stock. Pretty sure I used cf's autoroot. I just need a Link to Odin and a brief run down of what I'm trying to do. I may fire back a question or two.
I saw a post on flashing what I believe was a stock 4.3 and then up to 4.4.2. Well that's awesome, but I've TWO updates. Is 4.4.2 the newest? And why am I seeing numbers for jellybean, when I typically see things like "NAE" or "MK5".
And why is it sooo easy to root a bloody phone, but a nightmare to UNROOT said phone? Would think that "click, click....and bam. back to normal". Unfortunately, either I'm looking at the wrong things or I really do have to track down stock files for my specific model to re-flash with odin, then accept OTA, then re-root....?
If so, that SEEMS simple enough, but finding stock for my SPECIFIC model is....frustrating. So please, kind folks, help me out with some direct links to what I need?
Pretty sure answers to the question posted above exist on XDA
Use odin to flash L720TVPUAMK5_L720TSPTAMK5_L720TVPUAMK5_HOME.tar.md5
Use the stock recovery to factory reset.
Phone is now unrooted.
.
This^^ there are tutorials and videos on YouTube that show how to use Odin. All you do is place the tar on the PDA section.

Hit the thanks button if this helped.
I just got myself a Verizon Note 3. This is one power house of a phone. I noticed the kid I got it from does have it rooted. The only annoyance I see is allot of stuff is showing in the status bar with Chinese writing. is this normal or did he use some dumb way to root it? Also it still has 4.3 on it. I tried to update it but I get the message that "software update is currently unavailable". Is this because the Note is rooted?
I have done some searching and I did get the files for flashing it back to stock. Odin, .mkz, and the Samsung drivers. So if this update message is because it's rooted, I do have the stuff to flash it back to stock. I do also know how to use Odin as it's the same program for flashing the Note 1, which I did have. But any insight you guys can give me would be great. Thanks

Since you're on MJE 4.3 see this thread and go to post 2 NC2/MJE instructions...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627
Thanks for the info gamer but I'm not looking to root or flash roms. with this phone. At least not yet anyway. It's new to me so I really need to be as familiar with it as possible before I go flashing roms and tweaks and such. I'm not familiar with the names MJE, NC2, NC4 etc. so trying to explain that to me is just like speaking German to me right now. All I want to do for the here and now is get it back to stock un rooted 4.3, take the update to 4.4.2, and then check on the need for root then.
I also will need to look into what's safe to flash, what needs to be run, app wise, in order to flash some things. Take for instance my last phone, lg optimus g pro, you needed an app called freegee to get past the bootloader. If you screwed that up, you bricked yer phone. I'm sure some of the processes for this phone are similar in that respect. So no fiddling for me just yet. So in short, could you just tell me in simple terms if I have the correct stuff to flash it back to stock?
I currently have the latest Samsung drivers, Odin 3 V3.0.9, and the tar file named "ALL_N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_2106277_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.7z"
Is this what is needed to flash it to stock 4.3? Also, if you don't mind, could you tell me if there is ANY way, a modem flash perhaps, to get my LTE working with this AT&T Straight Talk sim card? Currently I am getting H+ which isn't bad but it's no LTE. Thanks a bunch.
EDIT: Well, that was easy. My computer ran the Verizon software and it failed to update it so it did the repair and repaired it with kitkat. So one issue solved. Now If I can just get LTE working on here it would be great....lol

You can flash different modems in Odin but I don't know if they'll get you running on AT&T Straight Talk, someone else will have to chime in on that.
Att straight talk might work if you have the correct apn settings but you will not get 4g
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah I am finding this out Roger. I want to root and enable the hidden menu. I am seeing posts about doing this and getting the 4g LTE working. The problem is most of these posts pertain to the T-Mobile branded note 3.
I have Verizon Galaxy Note 3, and my problem is that Wifi button is greyed out and simply wouldnt turn on.
I have done a lot of homework so far, and before, I had 4.3 Jelly Bean, and Wifi being greyed out started around 2 weeks ago (early Dec/2014 - until then, it worked fine).
So I updated to 4.4.2 Kitkat thinking software issue, but wifi is still not working.
I had already searched for hours, and did many things to try to isolate the problem.
*I tried Safe mode
*Reset Cache/Factory several times
*Battery in-n-out, SD card in-n-out, any external peripherals i had alrdy taken everything off and tried
*Tried Alliance/Jasmine/Eclipse ROMs, but still same
*Not router issue @ home since Phone Wifi simply wouldn' turn on
I thought of downgrading back to 4.3 Jelly Bean, but there were many articles saying I can not downgrade, so I think it's out of option.
I now think it's hardware issue, but can not confirm... went to Verizon store too, and the guy just feels it's more software by 51/49, but the ultimate problem is that I just can not 100% ID what the exact problem is - software or hardware.
I really don't want to spend $ for another phone... I also feel it is Kitkat since I also found many articles with Note 3 Kitkat wifi problem, and I read a lot of them, but couldn't really find any solution to my specific issue.
My understanding is that I have 2 options - wait for proper fix by Dev/Samsung for Kitkat firmware or get a new phone
I really did everything I can within my power, and making this post is my last resort...
Hope I can shed some light from experts or anyone who knows any more beneficial details so that @ least i can try to sort my options and situation more clearly...
Thanks much in advance!
Have you tried using Samsung Kies to return to complete stock? Why didn't the Verizon tech offer this choice and flash stock firmware?
My guess is you have a baseband/firmware mismatch somewhere. 4.4.2 firmware and baseband can be found in this thread.
Or flash nc4 in odin.

ok, i did already check out your thread before, and when i had tried to download 4.3 (1st one), it had me download like .exe file, and these kind of files tend to be virus/spyware so i just didn't... i also read many posts about how i can NOT downgrade to 4.3 from 4.4 so software wise, my current understanding is that I am **** out of luck until someone fixes firmware... or am i wrong? I guess I am trying to be proven wrong, and hope someone can show me a solution to my weird unique problem...
Btw, already on NC4 (I had updated to NC2 firstly, and Jasmine got stuck on bootloop, so I got NC4 and used Odin, then it fixed the bootloop)
Merry Xmas, huh?
P.S. Thanks for replying on Xmas day, lol

You specifically stated in the OP that you went to the Verizon store. They should have just flashed the most recent firmware/OS at that time.
You need to just Odin the latest stock tar or use Kies to do the same. Somewhere along the way the baseband, firmware and ROM OS have been mixed which causes the wifi problem.

Yes i did go, and i feel we are getting somewhere...
iam not like total expert on micro details on flashing, but from what i understand, baseband version and firmware are same, and firmware is like BIOS for computer while ROM is like Windows, Linux or an Operating System.
so wut i understood is that u are saying that my firmware (BIOS) and ROM (OS) are incompatible?

iam not like total expert on micro details on flashing, but from what i understand, baseband version and firmware are same, and firmware is like BIOS for computer while ROM is like Windows, Linux or an Operating System.
so wut i understood is that u are saying that my firmware (BIOS) and ROM (OS) are incompatible?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553357
I am running this Alliance rom, and also NC4 i got from XDA forum for my phone... so i think I am on Kitkat firmware running ROM that was made to run on this firmware?
Please point anything out to me if i had something wrong - open to anything to try to resolve this so that i dont have to dump $ for another phone...

In your phone settings, what does it say in about phone for baseband and software versions? It should all end in NC4 then.
I directed you to a link for nc4 then flash in odin. That is the correct step to try right now

You have lots of things wrong in the above. So to keep it simple just get OFF of the alliance ROM, get back on the NC4 ROM and modem. If nothing else...go back to the Verizon store and have them totally wipe and reflash the phone. You can also do that at the Samsung section of a Best Buy store.

If you successfully flashed Odin and factory reset the phone (important), and tried wifi immediately after and it still will not turn on (without adding anything else) then it must be some hardware failure.

yeah... wifi doesnt turn on... i'll settle as hardware issue, not software and move on with my life...
Warranty replace it and be done.
Heya. I have a rooted verizon note 3. I see i can get the 4.4.4 ota update. So i uninstalled root via SuperSU. I get an error trying to do the ota update. Is there a way to install this update without having to use odin and flashing stock? I dont want to lose all my appz settings etc. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Probably not a good idea to take the update. I'd wait until our trusty devs get ahold of the OTA and do their magic.
Yah, but i get pretty poor 4g for some reason and this update might (is suppose to) fix it. I read a lot of people have unrooted with superSU and installed the OTA update fine but for me it isnt working. Even though i dont have root.

Just install the nk1 modem. That is all you need if you are trying to get better reception.

That might just of been the best error ever, especially if you use root a lot. No way to go back and no known, released root at the moment for that version. Like above me has said, try flashing the NK1 modem using Odin and see if that improves your signal any.
Well, i just have been using the stock rom, rooted with safestrap. Id like to update to 4.4.4 just to have the latest OTA with whatever various fixes it might have. Before i did the update i uninstalled anything from wanam exposed framework wise. Then i did the "remove root" from superSU. I still have the unlocked lock on the note 3 splash screen after reboot and the OTA fails....says error at install screen. I have read other people have done what i have done and the update worked. What im asking is am i overlooking something? Is it really even possible without using odin and reverting to stock even though i have read people have had sucess????

If you want the benefits "fixes" of the latest, would be be smart to Odin stock so you are clean when you take the OTA.

You do realize...that if you take the OTA...you WILL lose root. At this point in time...there is no known way to root 4.4.4 and the latest OTA.

I too have read ambiguous posts of people who have used the 4.4.4 OTA on a towelroot'ed Verizon Note 3s. I've been skeptical that this would work and keep root so thanks for clarifying.
I have a question though. Where should I look to keep track of the latest news about a root technique for a Verizon Note 3? Also, is there a place to contribute to a bounty for someone who can figure this out?
I ask because If you google "samsung note 3 Verizon 4.4.4 towelroot" there are tons of hits, but most of them are from eons ago and while I root my phone, I am not a developer, and so don't know the lay of the land. In the past I've just searched for "root verizon samsung note 3" and crawled through the resulting mound of irrelevant material until eventually I found the answer. Or is the answer simply that every few days I search again to see if anything new pops up?
I realize this is a totally newbie question, but I'm a long-time newbie: I've been rooting my phones for years but I don't have a lot of phones and updates only come out every so often so I never really move up the learning curve of how to do this quickly and easily. I suspect others have the same problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My phone messed up earlier this week and I had to use repair assistant and when I did it updated me to NK1 KitKat 4.4.4 and I lost root and can not get it back plus the reception issue is still terrible.

It likely is possible to update and keep root. But if after updating you screw up a mod, etc. and need to get back to stock you will lose root permanently.

There is no Odin 3.29 out. Just Google Odin 3.09 and download to your desktop if you don't
already have it. Then flash the modem to your phone. Don't unroot.

You need to put your phone in download mode before plugging into pc. Make sure debugging is checked in developer settings.
Thanks…
I forgot the download mode and to check the debug- always in a rush…
Ill check it when I get in- thanks again

Verizon forced me to upgrade before they would troubleshoot my phone.
I was not able to do it OTA, but using the Verizon upgrade tool works.
Now I lost root, & I gained a whole bunch of bloatware. Very frustrating

I read about 4.4.4 and didn't like what they took away from 4.4.2. I won't go to it. If I were you I'd 'towelroot'- (get the simple steps on xda), and 'beanstown 106' has all the firmwares for these phones, put the nc4 on w/ 4.4.2, then install biggins rom v7, then upgrade via dirty flash with 8.0 then immediately w/ 8.3- fast touch response and after about 3-4 days, you'lI be getting twice the battery life… I jumped up to the new v9 but they dont have the theme for it yet. I miss the Kromex blue on black…
