***How To Flash Files In ODIN & Factory Reset Note 3***

[rogerwalker22]

If you hit VOL UP too soon or "miss" getting to the ODIN screen from the WARNING screen, you're desktop ODIN should never load the COM box... That would be your signal to close desktop Odin, VOL UP, start desktop Odin again and wait for COM box to populate and hit start.

Yes your phone will be back to stock, but I can't imagine SOMEONE won't be curious why your phone has never been "Set up" depending on how long you had it. And again, they may not even try to pow it up either

Ok awesome! That's exactly what I needed to know =]


I look at it like this, would it be better for them to fix the phone, get the screen working and then see me on Jellybeanz Build 5 or for them to see the start up screen and the phone not be rooted?

I'm not sure I understand your question... I think you need to d/l MJE tar on pc and flash it via odin, should get you back to oem stock

Yes. I need the mje tar file but the one that beanstown106 posted for the retail verizon note 3 doesnt work i cant get odin to see the file. Im trying to place the file in the pda slot in odin and its not working. Where can i get another stock tar so i can try again. Thank you for your replies

Nope. ONLY "Auto reboot" and "F-reset Time" should be checked.

For those who haven't used ODIN, the process can seem a bit daunting. Follow these steps to make flashing files via ODIN painless...

STEP ONE:

On PC, go to CONTROL PANEL > Install/Uninstall Programs > uninstall ALL Samsung drivers

Download & Install The Following To Your PC

Samsung USB drivers for Odin (click “see all downloads”)

ODIN 3.09 (latest version)
click middle “download” button - credit to DutchDogg54 for file

when i put my vzw note 3 in download mode at the top it says current binary samsung official stystem status custom. I was already on mje when this happened. Hopefully i can get this computer to download the mje tar file because i havent had much luck with getting it to download before. I checked my download progress and its gonna take it like 4hrs to download a 1.3gb file. I have a 12meg router. I will wait hopefully it will be done before i have to leave for work which is in about 1hr 30min.

I hope reflashing the mje tar in odin will bring everything back to normal.

Really do thank you for sticking around while i was trying to figure all of this out. I get really impatient somtimes and try rushing through the whole process instead of taking a breath and calming down and take one step at a time. Kinda hard to stay concentrated though my 6yr old keeps me busy when im off work he doesnt get to see me that much. Just really happy that i finally fixed my phone. Thanks to you for the work you put into guiding me on what to do and thank you beanstown106 for all you do

Thanks again for your advice id say your probably getting tired of me so im out.
MERRY CHRISTMAS be safe this holiday season.

You might want to do a factory reset in recovery (vol up, home, power) not in Safestrap... then try the odin flash to mje..
