[Q] Samsung Note 3 (Unlocked) Root Soft Brick URGENT

So I'm new to the android world and today I stupidly decided to root my phone. I used Odin3 and I think put in the Tmobile version into the AP place. After that, I realized my phone was unlocked and Odin failed to root my phone. Now I'm stuck at the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again." I read other posts about this problem but there are none for the note 3. Can someone help me and link me files to get out of that screen? I have no idea if its because I have an unlocked phone. Thanks for everyones help. I tried sammobile but I cannot locate my product code. Like I have no idea where my phone is made from because it's unlocked. PLLEASSSE HELP ME!!!! :crying:
Please? just a comment on what to do could help!!! Thanks

Install Kies (v3). Go in Kies to recovery mode. Post more details after that if you want more answers.
The much better alternative would have been if you knew your original firmware - that way you could have downloaded it from a place like
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005
and try to write it in Odin.
So i found out my firmware is N900XXUCMK2 but I dont know what country its from! help!

I also faced this issue. Don't be too worried.
Just download the latest firmware for your country and flash it from ODIN.
Or you can follow this link

and use Kies to get out of the mess.

I don't know if that's considered a soft brick or not. Follow the steps in this thread /showthread.php?t=2387980 (I think that's what were looking for). Once you have, inbox me, I might be interested in buying it if you get it working You can also PM me if you don't understand any specific steps and I'll try and explain them more exactly.

What did u do wrong?
i had the same problem a few days back.
i tought i was doomed !!!
listen up, this is what you need to do.
download the stock firmware from sammobile.
get your phone in download mode and hook it up with odin, then install the stock firmware, the good news is: You will not lose your apps, settings or files.
Everything remains the way it is.
in my case (i think) is that i tried to root it with a broken USB cable.
the other tought was that i used CF-Autoroot from chainfires website, it shows that its for android 5.01 while i was on 4.4.
at least, i hope you can use my info, please let me know if it helped for you
When it happened to me, i allmost ****ted myself

Thank you very much Racinghart91 . I have managed to fix the problem with Kies.
The main problem was that Kies was not recognizing my phone model, and I found out that the model as to be inserted in Keis with capital letters. With that Kies have found my correct firmware and I have updated it, and now its all good.
And I have a back up of all, ROM and apps . Now I can try another ROOT, and if it failde I have now all the backups I need.
By the way do you guys know any sucessful ROOT for my Phone, I have the Android version 4.4.4
Model : SM-N910F
SSN : N910FGSMH
Another question, should I wait for the next Android update 5.0, or ROOT my Note 4 befor the update?
I have successfully ROOT my wifes Note 3, and Now its much faster tahn my Note 4, in Apps, games all, damn how is that possible ?
Thanks once again.
