question so if I use those file AP_N900AUCENCNC_FIRMWARE>TAR>MD5 and ATT_Stock_KitKat_N900AATTCNC2_ROOT_OTA.zip.2jldnjm

I will get back to stock rom ? my phone info as showing in the pic .

Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikep90:
What are you spose to do with this AP_N900AUCECNC2_RECOVERY.tar.md5.zip is this not really needed if trying to go to official stock and if that's needed do you do this first AP_N900AUCECNC2_FIRMWARE.tar.md5.zip than install the recovery file but that is new the recovery file I'm confuse on those two files and not sure what step to take first I'm looking just in having official stock if needed to if I soft brick my phone. I know install the ver. 3 to fix the soft brick and than install the firmware tar but where does the recovery file come into it all
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
you can use the AP_N900AUCECNC2_RECOVERY.tar.md5.zip if you want to skip doing the OTA install and go straight to custom roms.

If you do the OTA install, then the OTA will patch the recovery.

Note 3 issues

Bare with me please, I have been a long time lurker on the forums and have been rooting since I had the S3. I finally rooted my AT&T Note 3 not too long ago using GeoHot's Towelroot and followed instructions on using safestrap 3.75 to flash custom roms into my note 3. A little history, I recently updated to 4.4.2 kit kat via AT&T's update so everything at the time was not rooted.

My problem(s) is that when I try to flash any roms per the developers instructions, I get errors all the time and when I go to reboot, my note 3, I would automatically go into soft brick mode, forcing me to use Odin to restore my phone back into its current state using the methods in this thread. I pretty much gave up on installing a custom rom but ever since I used this method to get my note 3 out of the soft brick mode, I get an error "Unauthorized Actions has been detected, must reboot." (Well, its something close to that, just not the exact word for word). And on top of that, my wifi cannot connect to wifi at ALL. It will not allow me to toggle into it, let alone even let me auto connect. It just says "turning on" but does nothing else. I rerooted my note 3 and used Supersu to disable the error I was getting but now the issue is not being able to connect to wifi.

I have already done a system factory reset, did not work. I have been searching on the forums for weeks and googled for info but had no such luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some info:

Running 4.4.2

Baseband: N900AUCUNC2

Kernel: 3.4.0-722276

Build: KOT49H-N900AUCUMLG

SE for Android status: Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SMN900A_4.4.2_0017

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Did you try after you odin back to install the recovery installer OTA, like in the video in first post then remove safestrap recovery, then remove root, then with stock recovery install NC2 ota ( like shown in the video).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] yota22re:
Yes, I have performed that too. But I just noticed, my baseband is on NC2 as to where my build is on MLG, won't that affect the way the phone operates?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jorge81:
Checked again for stock and downloading now. Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jorge81:
How can I check what bootloader I'm on? Or should I just use Odin to install the tar file listed anyways?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
when in download mod see if you have a A2 or a A3 A2 is Older Bootloader A3 is NC2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
just odin install the NC2 Firmware and you should be ok
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jorge81:
Pardon my blindness, So would the bootloader upgrade itself? Then I wouldn't have to use Odin? Just flash stock NC2 zip is what I understand. Thanks again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
If you goal is NC2 update?

If you want to see the OTA finish ( reading your post I think your still on NB4)

Watch the 12 minute video

try post one first (if you have safestrap working)

you will install the ATT_Stock_KitKat_N900AATTCNC2_ROOT_OTA.zip

If you want fastest way to just get to KitKat and install custom rom's

then do post 2

just saying hello bro!! Man this is one good thread... i mean i still read it just for fun :) jajaja
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Carl! I have a dumb question. Lol

You mentioned "odin one file, odin one file with pit, odin 4 files, odin 4 files with pit". [emoji118]In with situation should I use any of those? Like let's say if I wanted to start on a clean slate, I'd just odin the 4 files... and so on. (I hope I'm making sense) and also along with that you mentioned "wipes your phone's partition, wipes your phone to OEM" what's the difference between the partition and the OEM?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
The difference between the partition and the OEM

Partition Is it re-write ALL the portitions on Your phone , so you do not want to select a pit file (that automatically selects the Re-Partiton box) if you just install your Bootloader, of Modem etc.. because the other partitons would be empty.

OEM means Like when you bought your phone, so your Internal sdcard gets repartioned (wiped)

I have soft brick in my hands, because I did a wipe system in TWRP,

yes now I know that this was a big no-no, now it only boots to Samsung galaxy note 3 screen and nothing else

so any who, I was on stock NC2, because it was a replacement device, I had it rooted, and flashed one rom, and went back to stock, used it for about 3 days and then decided to do a wipe, usually wiping just cache and dalvik you're fine, but like a dumb ass decided to do a system wipe as well, so long story short and more to my question,

to get out of my soft brick do I have to do all 4 files, or do the all in one, please someone let me know, it'll be much appreciated. thanks

the aucen in the recovery installer name (on second Post)might be my fault

the files in OP first post or most current

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shane1981:
I have a question thats problably been answered but im about a week behind so please yall dont yell at me . Im on the kitkat leak if i install the home file will it put everything back like it was or will it be official with the same set up i had before the install but just be on nc2? Or will i have to start over
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] andygev35:
The all in one file will put you on official NC2, but you'll lose everything on the internal sd card.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shane1981:
So i will have to start over either way?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] andygev35:
Pretty much
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
All in one home is like a OTA except it formats the system partiton, but anything in sdcard is not touched..

When using the 4 separate install's I will put you like OEM phone. internal SDcard gets wipe clean (removes safestrap and all your pictures etc...)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
no andy has got it backwards

in One install (home)

cache.img.ext4 has in the command script

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip

--carry_out=csc_home

--wipe_cache

in the CSC_ATT_N900AATTCNC2_722276_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar of installing the 4 files.

cache.img.ext4 has in the command script

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip

--carry_out=csc_factory

--wipe_data
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] andygev35:
I must've misread the op...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
It's easy, but Greatly appreciate you trying to help ;) You would think the single file would have been the OEM setup.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shane1981:
tried the home file only and passed but getting fc's and a bootloop . should i do the pit file
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
no do a factory reset from stock recovery ( your userdata files or conflicting with NC2 update)

or download and install the 4 files ( but doing a factory reset would be what the 4 file install would have done)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jbehymer:
I literally just did this a few hrs ago. I used only the home and pit file. It would not load past boot screen. Did a factory reset in recovery and it booted perfectly. Just remember there is a delay on first boot
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] shane1981:
thats what i did i .oh well gives me something to do
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jasonwalker1980:
HOLY CRAP!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... This worked for me sooo much..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikep90:
Carl what does it exactly do when it re-formats the phone partitions and I know the oem makes it like you just got it from the factory. Also does the all in one file don't include the CSC. Is that file even needed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
formats means it re-installs that partition image

the all in one (home) does have the same files as the CSC

cache.img.ext4 except with the CSC file it includes the PIT file and also

it's install script (command) does a factory reset
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikep90:
So the CSC is the file that does the factory reset when using all 4 files. What is the partition image. Is that where all the file folders are at. I thought if it install the partitions that it would delete everything on there. Does it just format the system leaving all the data/app of all user data alone.

---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

The pit file will format the phone but just leaves internal sdcard alone. Why would you use that if you using the 4 files if it completely formats the phone just like when u buy it
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
the CSC is the custom vender settings file "cache.img.ext4" ( AT&T, TMO, etc..) it get's copyed to your cache partition and after Oding reboots you will see your stock recovery start and install these cache files.

In the (home odin installer) in the cache.img.ext4 the command script is set to not mess with the internal sdcard, so all your userdata files or still there. that would be ok if your was strictly stock and all your settings and apps where done from a stock rom, but if your custom rom is way off stock then you could get boot issues ( as some have already reported) to fix would be to do a factory reset from stock recovery ( that's what the 4 install files do)

the PIT file does not format, it is just a file that tell's odin where the partitions or, but odin automatically selects the format box when you choose the PIT file. so never use it without all your firmware files

done just what it said it would gets your phone going when nothing else works..no BB Samsung or AT & T round these parts can push anything to this once you run it..the end of the road but you will have a working device..and for that i thank you sir.Samsung will say AT & T is blocking the update as far as build MLG to NC2 and AT & T will say "THEY DON"T BLOCK UPDATES" the 442 it'sh there and will whip out out their company phone and show you never mind the build call 611 from your phone NOW GIT least that's what the rep screamed at me in the lobby..hehe ;)

I'm talking about the sec_csc.zip from this threads OP ( this is the MGL's ) you can even try renaming it to update.zip and copy to your user home directory and adb side-load install from recovery

Hey Carl,

you saved my a... again! Went to BB to see if they would flash KitKat. The guy there (one of the smarter ones I've seen at BB) said he has only JB, but would like to try to flash it anyway. I was curious to see what will happen, so I let him. Put the phone into Odin download mode and tried something. Got an error and phone would not boot any more, no matter how you pressed the volume/home/power buttons, would always come in Odin mode with the message as shown below. Was curious if Kies will do something useful with it, so when I came home, connected and started Kies. Did not do anything, just displayed "Connecting" message forever, no matter how many times I let it troubleshoot connection, reinstall the drivers and reboot the computer. Only your files with MLG system saved me. MLG actually works very well for me, I'm only troubled that it may not take future upgrades, and I would not feel good selling the device like this.

This is the error message my phone was stuck on after the Samsung rep. at BestBuy tried to downgrade it to JB:

Greg
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikep90:
So pretty much you wouldn't need the pit file at all than unless under certain situations but most likely you won't need it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
yes, word on xda is never use it unless nothing else helps ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikep90:
OK thanks I got u. I think I understand. Home file keeps your user data and all that and 4 odin files does a complete restore. Also when using home file interfers if using custom roms sometimes and that's when you would do a factory reset and that's what the four odin files will do. So for example I'm on dynamic Kat and if I wanted to go back to factory and start all over but not lose my user data and apps I would just use the home file or would I use the 4 odin files.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
you could try the home install but if you have boot issues from the dynamic Kat rom, the just do a factory reset. to clear userdata stuff
