[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] claude9039u:
PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE FIRST POST!!!

I DID:

1. Install Stock firmware via Odin, then re-run auto-root (to regain root of course)

2. Install TWRP 2.6.3.2 via odin, reboot to recovery.

3. Do an "adb shell" when phone is in recovery mode to run commands via TWRP.

From the ADB shell: Wiped the EFS partition with the following command:

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

mkdir /efs

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs

Odin CF to get factory recovery and then do a factory reset, reboot system

NIGHTMARE STORY IT FIXED!!

I want to let you know that after 26 hours of a nightmare doing this is the only thing that I did before I called Samsung and all they had me do was boot into recovery of which I of course pushed Odin Cf so that I had a stock recovery. They had me factory reset and the phone is working???

Ok well its looks like I a without a phone of course tech support on the phone sends me to the store. Store tech support cant do anything. Since the phone is over 30 day old they will give me a refurbished phone. But that's a problem there are none so they tell me to call Samsung??

So now I a on the phone with sprint but looks like in the end I a pounding sand. Without a mj4.tar to push with odin I have a brick!!!

QUOTE=claude9039u;47170179]I was on JB rom and updated to the last beta test rom and the following happened.

I installed 2.0.0 Beta on phone not storage card. I then made a back up before I flashed the rom then wiped cache, dalvic cache and system three times. I then installed rom, it booted up to my unlock pattern screen.

Now here is the problem every time I put in my unlock pattern the phone goes black comes back on to the unlock pattern screen again? I must have put in my unlock pattern 10 times and 10 times it goes black and starts up in the unlock screen. This does not appear to be a reboot more like a small shut down? I pulled battery same thing, I reinstalled 2.0.0 Beta, same thing.

So I restored my backup and the phone now goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Pulled the battery twice and same thing happened will not go pass the boot up Samsung screen and tone.

So I then go to recovery wipe everything Cache, dalvic, data and system. Restore the back up again and the phone does the same thing goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Keep just doing this pattern?

I then tried to restore to stock using ODIN and installed N900PVPUBMI5_N900PSPTBMI5_N900PVPUBMI5_HOME.tar.m d5 from JB's file and I get a fail each time?

I then downloaded KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI3-1378528567.tar and it installed passed but now I am stuck in the Samsung screen?

JB responded for me to do:

Try wiping data, system, cache and dalvic cache. then flash either official jellybomb ver. 1 or stock mj4 rom by freeza.

You cant go backwards from mj4 to older firmware... I dont believe...

So I did:

Since I installed KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI5-1379320673.tar I have a stock recovery so I ODIN'ed CF-Auto_root and then openrecovery-twrp. This gave me TWRP 2.6.3.7 and from there I wiped data, system cashe and dalvic cache. I then rerooted. TWRP told me I had no OS installed are you sure I said yes. TWRP then says your device does not appear to be rooted?? I then go back into TWRP and flash JB ver 1.0.0. It says install busybpx install kernel done updateing partition details... E: unable to mount '/usbstorage"

Successful so I then reboot system.

I get samsung screen and song that goes black and I get samsung note 3 screen and music. Screen goes black and it keeps on repeating itself?

JB came back and said

Ok. Lots of errors to your process there.. no need to do some of the steps.

So do this... if u have working twrp.

Factory reset in twrp.

Then install mj4 stock rom. And let it boot

I then did as he said

It appears that I have a working twrp so I down loaded SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2 from freeza. I went to twrp did a factory reset and flashed SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2

While flashing I did notice that it did not find MD5 file. In the end it says that it was a successful install. It rebooted did its thing, got to andriod upgrading and rebooted. Samsung screen song and got a process system isn't responding and it rebooted again doing the same thing?

And now I am in Samsung boot up screen get process system isn't responding and the phone keeps rebooting doing the same.[/QUOTE]

It looks that without a mj4.tar file to use odin my phone is dead
