[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stickies:
I am rooted on my SM-N900T but don't have a custom recovery like twrp installed yet. Someone sent me this info I put below can I start at the beginning and go back through it all and load twrp on and a custom rom even though I already have it rooted? but my build and baseband is not the NF1 is it better for me to do this? Thank you!!

For full N900TUVUDNF1 stock:

Download EffortLess ROM Prep.zip and Full Stock NF1.zip

Unzip both files

Turn off your phone and then hold the Volume Down, Home Button, and Power Button at the same time, when the phone vibrates, let go of Power Button. Press Volume Up to continue past the "Warning!!" screen.

Open the EffortLess ROM Prep folder and double click on EffortLess Odin.exe

Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable (one of the boxes under ID:COM in Odin will fill with a com number and turn baby blue meaning it can communicate with your phone.. if it does not, unplug your phone and run EffortLess Odin USB Driver.exe from the EffortLess ROM Prep unzipped folder. Now plug your phone in again and it should load the driver and the box should turn baby blue and display a com number)

Click the PDA button and navigate to the unzipped Full Stock NF1 folder, click on N900TUVUDNF1_N900TTMBDNF1_N900TUVUDNF1_HOME.tar.md 5 and click Open

Wait for the file to load properly in Odin, it will take a minute and you'll see a check-mark to the left of the PDA button and the system path of the NF1 file to the right.

Now click start and wait, don't touch anything until after your phone restarts.

Now go to menu, settings, General tab, and click About device and verify the Baseband version AND Build Number are N900TUVUDNF1 if so, go to Rooting NF1

If not:

Update baseband to NF1 (Only if it failed on flashing full stock):

Follow the steps for Rooting NF1 then continue to step 2

Download the triangle away app from the playstore, or download it from XDA for free.

Run and reset your flash counter

Repeat the steps above for full N900TUVUDNF1 stock
