can you send a link for those files? my menu doesn"t come up with options to wipe delvik or advanced menu
You have the link for the recovery already. When you go into recovery (vol up + home), you choose the advanced wipe feature. This allows you to select what to wipe. From there, do a stock restore.

What exactly are you flashing? The recovery I provided in the recovery zip is twrp. It either isn't flashing successfully, or you are just trying the stock restore? Please advise.

when i load pkg and start i get ERROR: failed to initialize protocal!
what should i try?
Are you on a Mac? You will have to do some digging if so. I had to install some fuse program or something like that in order to get mine to work.

I usually don't post on forums because most of the time I just do a search and my problems are already solved. But anyways, I had the "bootloop" problem even after installing back the stock official t-mobile n900t rom. Sometimes it would boot all the way up, but it wouldn't read the rom correctly and would reboot before 10 seconds.
I read this could be a fix, so I tried this method.
The process is finished, but I still have the issue. I tried doing wipe data on certain partitions using TWRP recovery as means of troubleshooting. I could do a wipe data on most partitions except /system.
My guess is that the /system partition is damaged.
Does anyone have the img for SYSTEM to flash it with heimdall using this method? Any other suggestions that might help me out?

It's not the system.IMG you actually have a different Boot loop issue. This one kept booting into Odin mode for me, and kies nor Odin could flash over it/restore my phone.
You need the efs fix. There is a zip file here in the q&a section that you will need to flash in recovery from an sd card. Will post it when I find it.

I just keep getting this error with the pit, both in odin and heimdall.... I'm using a n900t...
EDIT: Nvm, unchecked repartition.... I was getting the same error some of the n9005 users were getting when it first boots up, and like i said I'm running N900T. But I was using Odin at the time, so i'm gonna try with heimdall and hope for the best...

Ha. I swear your edit wasn't in there when I was posting that picture. Glad it is working.

Yep, it's good, about to flash the stock img now... and see if it works. Odin didnt work for me using the md5 as I got the weird FCs from fresh boot as stated previously... So hopefully Heimdall resolves it. Whatever issue i'm having it's definitely software and it has something to do with my partitions....
Same thing was happening to me. That is why I used heimdall. I eventually got odin to work using version 3.07. It might be the same for your phone.

Gotcha. I hope I can just fix it right here using Heimdall. Read a lot about it leading up til now. Much more reliable over Odin from what I read....
I have actually switched completely. And if in a bind, the cli works awesome. Didn't provide those details as most users are uncomfortable using anything without a gui.

Really? Using scripts?

Just so you know, I'm gonna spam your thread with a bunch of thanks... It worked like a charm!! Booted straight up!!!
When 4.4.2 drops for n900t bro, can you make a tar.gz for the stock stuff as well? I like to keep that kinda stuff handy...
