I was upgrading my Verizon note 3 from 4.4.4 to 5.0 using Samsung kies and the update failed. I tried to do emergency recovery but it says to take the battery out and reboot into recovery holding up volume, power, home button. Instead booting into recovery it just goes back to the this image. Can anybody pls help me?

Were you rooted or just on plain old stock?

Best way I know to fix is via a PC, using Odin to load stock firmware from Verizon.

Or, you may be able to get a company Verizon store (not a verizon reseller) to reflash it.

It's on a Un- rooted stock Verizon 4.4.4. Going to Verizon probably out the question, finished contract and went to net 10. I can get phone in download mode (volume down, power, home button) I tried Odin but it failed also. But I may have been doing something wrong. Not real knowleable on these things. Does anybody have a link to stock Verizon 4.4.4? Another thing, my pc is not recognizing my phone now also.

You can get stock 4.4.4 from www.sammobile.com, you have to join to download firmware, but it's free.

They also have a link for Odin and how to use it.

Same problem here,but Odin does not work.Any other ideas.
Odin does work... Apparently you don't.

I can't read your mind... Tell me what you did and tell me if you enabled usb debugging and what version of Odin and which "slot" you put the firmware and if you have unzipped the firmware so odin sees a xxxx.tar.md5 file

I wasn't getting smart... The comment "odin doesn't work" means nothing just like " I got it to work" means nothing.

Other people can't read your messages and learn anything, or give you any advice.

If you had said... I tried xxx and got this error yyy then someone reading your post can suggest changes to what you are doing.

If you had said... I now did this instead and it worked... Then some other user could read your post and learn perhaps how to solve their problem all by themselves.

This is what you said.
(Odin doesn't work....Apparently you don't.).That's making a smart remark at me.

Its no problem.

How I got it to work was to use the stock 01 lollipop Rom not the 06.I think that's what you call them.
