No i was on the MI3 stock
Try using ODIN and flashing the stock tar file. That should set you straight. You should be able to find what you need in the Android Dev section. If you are new to ODIN, open the app on your pc, click PDA, find the stock tar file, ensure "repartition" is unchecked and hit start. That should get you back to 100% stock. Do any applicable system updates and attempt the root process again. If you have any troubles look for qbking77's Note 3 root guide. Good luck. If all else fails I'd try a return and hope they don't know how to check for the flash flags.

I had the same problem but I was able to get my phone to boot into recovery. I did a wipe data/factory reset and it worked afterwards.

I had the same problem, except my problem was when I tried to restore nandroid back up....the root, and flashing of the rom went well.

I went to restore my nandroid back up, and it started bootlooping. This was the 2nd time this issue occurred, the first time downloading the tar resolved it. The second time it did not.

solved it by accident

Thanks so much for your reply and availability to help but after some hours of despair I read somewhere that Kies would be help and fiddled with the settings a bit and realized that I could download and restore factory settings through the software... Such a relief not ending up with a $800 paperweight!!! (and tought me a lesson not to trust just about any rooting direction posted here!!!)

As I'm on a Mac will try to reconstruct the scene:)
On Kies go to Tools and choose Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
After some prompts for inputing first the Model number and the S/N, Kies will start downloading the software and will prompt you when to connect your phone..
Very easy....

Where did you find the serial number? The numbers on the box and under the battery don't work for me so I can't get past that screen.

Well, that's exactly what I used what was below the battery and the box... without those you can't really move forward... does it give you an error when you log in with those?

Yeah says they're invalid serial numbers. I asked a buddy of mine to give me his numbers and I get the same error with his. I did the DEC number as both full XXXXXXXXXXXXX and XXX XXX XXX XXX etc ...

Neither work. Also tried with HEX. Guess I'm just seriously SOL.
