Link to download the latest firmware for your Verizon Galaxy Note 3 to flash in Odin if you need to reinstall it before unlocking (if you have no luck with my instructions you should try flashing the firmware again with Odin so that you have a completely stock phone):

**TWRP AND FLASHING ROMS**

Now that your Verizon Galaxy Note 3 bootloader is unlocked is time to flash some roms. For this you will need TWRP. A simple way to obtain the latest and stay up to date with a couple clicks is TWRP with Flashify. You will not need Odin or a PC at all to do this.


STEP 1:

Download flashify: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

STEP 2:

Open the app and give it root access permissions when your Super User app prompts you with the regular pop-up.

STEP 3:

STEP 4:

STEP 5:

STEP 6:

Flash roms till you pass out lol. Don't forget to backup your files.

USING TWRP:

*****Yes- Jasmine Rom 6.1 can be flashed with twrp*****

When you flash your first rom after unlocking your bootloader and flashing twrp it's best to start with a clean slate. Make sure you put the rom of your choice on your Micro SD card. Wiping everything ensures that you have as few errors as possible. When flashing completely new roms this is also advised to avoid any errors.

i had my vzw note 3 sm-n900v of1 rooted and bl unlock
i reverted back to official stock OF1 with odin.
i noticed that emmc brick debug tool shows my CID as the dev version and not my original cid
i was wondering after i root it again do i need to change my cid back to original before i run "samsung_unlock_n3" or is it ok to run it with the new cid already like it is.
thanks and nice guide here

No just run the unlock tool again and you're good to go.

i ran the tool with no busybox installed
odin says im developer edition

I tried to do this, but the phone wouldnt boot and it kept booting to a message that said ""system software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone"

it also says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing"

 

[robotnikman]

nevermind, going back to stock, re-rooting, and re-unlocking the bootloader again seems to have fixed it

well
for some reasons above mentioned method isnt working at all in my case..

after giving all the commands in the terminal this is what it says.

it doesnt go further to the step where cid is displayed and device doesnt go for reboot .

(.)am on 4.4.2
(.)device is rooted
(.)on stock rom..
(.)never ever flashed anything to my device.
(.)i havent set up samsung account yet as a result there is no option in settings to disable reactivation screen but i did disable the lock screen before attempting anything on terminal..

urgent help needed

Flash 0F1 firmware the unlock method doesn't work on the firmware version that you're on. Follow my links in the first post to update firmware.

secure fail: recovery

Followed the instructions, ended up with a soft bricked phone. Back to odin to re-flash OF1 I guess...
Using Flashify to flash TWRP after everything else looked great, rooted, bootloader unlock seemed to take.
Now looks like knox has me locked up and no path but to re-flash.

What did I miss?

tw3ak.

Thanks for the links and turorials. Will the Darklord N5 rom run on the Verizon note 3 after taking these steps?

Thanks.

If you saw a "secure fail: recovery" message you were not unlocked. (You were rooted, which allowed you to flash a recovery, but not unlocked)

If you are unlocked the Odin/Download screen will say "MODE: DEVELOPER" at the bottom of the text block at the top left side of the screen.

It is doubtful you were soft-bricked either. You might have been stuck in a "reboot to recovery every time loop" (which would then give you a secure boot: fail message)
but you can get out of that with the following:

- pull battery; wait a few seconds; reinsert battery
- hold down VolDown+Home+Power to start phone
- choose "Cancel" when the phone gives you the warning pop-up message about using Odin mode.

Sm-n900v (Rooted)
Android 5.0,
Baseband N900VVRUE0B6.
Will the unlock n3.zip work for me?

Based on my reading, it requires baseband OF1. You also need to do the CID check, to be sure your phone can be unlocked.

I did that already like post suggested n my Cid starts with 15
