need help

So the wife and I just picked up a Note 3 each on Sprint. I rooted and installed TWRP on both without issues. I ran the zip to unlock the native hotspot on mine and booted up just fine after. Now I installed the zip on the wife's phone and now it starts to boot and gets hung up on the yellow Sprint screen. I have rebooted into TWRP and tried wiping the phone but still no luck. I was stupid and rushed though it and didn't make a nandroid backup. I feel like my only option is to return it to best buy tomorrow and just not say anything about the rooting. Anyone have an idea to avoid exchanging the phone at best buy?

Thanks ahead of time.

Use your nandroid on her phone then factory reset. Or flash one of the stock rooted roms. Guessing as usual lol.

Or you could try to flash this?

Thanks guys. Turns out the wife had updated to MJ4 so the native hotspot zip was locking the phone up after the install. Flashed back to stock and re-rooted and installed TWRP.

Best news of the night! Great to see this.

FWIW, I didn't leave Sprint until my baseband showed MJ4 (ie, took the update at the store, and didn't leave until it showed on reboot).

Coming from HTC, I would never update the firmware as fear HTC would make it so you couldn't get S-OFF. Don't have to worry about the S-ON or S-OFF crap on Samsung luckily.

So what is the best way to update to MJ4? I rooted and flashed Jellybomb but still shows my software is MI5. I was thinking that it would have been updated with the ROM but I should have known better. With HTC, there was a zip to flash to update the firmware separately. I'm guessing there is something similar with Samsung phones. Thanks ahead of time.

After you update use Kingo app to root it.

Why do I have to re-root? I'm already rooted. From what I've found, all I have to do is install the MJ4 firmware tar file via Odin. I shouldn't have to re-root and start over again. I rooted via Odin so I don't care about tripping Knox. Can someone just confirm I just need to run the MJ4 tar file via Odin and won't have to re-root or install my rom over again? Thanks

My bad, didn't read the last msg u posted, I thought you had just gotten it from Sprint and it had the stock MI5.

Thanks, just picked up the phone Friday night and still learning how everything works on the Samsung phones compared to my previous HTC.

Looks like you made the same jump I did from htc 4g lte to N3. It's quite a bit better isn't it?

I am not happy with the direction htc is going as a company so I jumped ship on them. I had no idea the samsung phones had gotten this good since I set the Epic 4G on fire and swore I'd never buy another Samsung phone again. This phone is so much better than the 4G LTE I'm almost ashamed at how many people I talked into buying one. Oh well...

Funny about the fear of updating. When the girl at BB was setting my N3 up it started downloading an update and I snatched it out of her hands and restarted it to stop the update. I told her I was going to root it and an update might make that impossible. lol I'm coming around, slowly. If knox wasn't in the loop it would be a lot easier. I hope its just a matter of time before work arounds are found for that.

Just FYI, I updated my Note3 to MJ4 and rooted it with Kingo App. Is there a newer update? After that, with Flashify I flashed TWRP and installed Bonsai MJ4 0.0.2 (no Knox)

(I have Baseband N900PVPUBMJ4 with Bonsai_v0.0.2)

As far as I know MJ4 is the latest firmware in the wild for the N3...

Yep, I had the Epic 4G and after watching my sister with all the issues she had her Epic Touch, I swore I would never own anther Samsung again. But with the lack of support from HTC on existing phones and seeing friends with the S3, S4 and Note2 without issues, I figured I'd give them another shot. I mean I likeed my EVO LTE but this phone is so much faster and I love the larger screen. Plus, so much easier to root this phone compared to the EVO LTE.

I had MI5 but just ran the MJ4 firmware in Odin yesterday and took less than 30 seconds. There is no newer firmware than MJ4 currently. I used Odin to root my phone as I'm not concerned with tripping Knox.
