Hello. I have a note 3 lte verizon version and I really goofed. I was messing around after I rooted it and went to try to backup the default Lollipop (5.0.0) rom but I hadnt unlocked the bootloader yet (didnt know I had to, god Im such an idiot).

Any help would be so kind.

Pictures of whats happening:

If you need more info on the phone or anything else, contact me.

The bootloader isn't unlockable. Go download the partial OF1 firmware file in the Jasmine rom thread and flash that I'm odin and you'll be good again. That's what i did yesterday when I had this message..

Also you use flashfire to back up the rom.

Actually, I think thats where my problem is. If you can see in my screenshots I originally attached on imgur, whenever I try to boot to odin mode it gets stuck at "Downloading...Do not turn off target !!"
That's what it's suppose to say. Odin is a flashort tool for the computer. Plug the phone into the computer put the file after you extracted it. Click the AP on the odin program wait for it to load in the slot, click start

Awesome thanks.

I just went through look in that thread and idk if it will work for our phone I hope it does. Right now I can't flash anything due to other issues I'm having but I was looking for this as well so thank you lol. I just used viper4audio and this worked pretty good. On my LG g3 I use the volume booster mod and viper4audio together to get better sound quality.

Let me know how it sounds and if it does in fact work with our phone.

Yes it should have took now with FF. That's what you will use just a like a recovery for everything. It's the best we have with locked bootloaders
