Okay so today i tried to go back to stock, i was in recovery, and when i went to flash the rom, it instantly failed. Problem with the zip maybe? Im not sure. Either way, it wont let me back into recovery now, so i cant restore (im not sure i made a restore anyways) but i can get into download mode

In download mode when i try to flash the tar file it sats SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 1

What am i doing wrong? Is my phone bricked?

When i try to turn it on i get the yellow triangle, and Kies wont let me restore.

Have you tried to flash a fresh copy of the exact same recovery you where using through Odin ?

If it will stick then try to do a backup/restore, but chances are it will boot loop again. So, I would go through the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/help/upgrade-to-4-4-4-revert-to-4-4-2-t2878402 post #6 or you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/help/4-4-4-download-mode-t2877528 post #3. I AM STAYING ON 4.4.2 TILL THEY GET THE BUGS OUT !!!

Which .tar file are you trying to flash?
