Hey everyone, I gave up on my note about a year ago (rip, still miss the swappable batteries and easy back button) and would like to reset it. From what I remember, the phone has TWRP installed and boots to the stock rom slot every boot. How can I reset this to full stock? Can I use the built in recovery or would that have been wiped?

Odin and the OEM firmware ending in OF1 if you ever want root again.

sammobile.com the firmware page includes instructions.
Thank you for the assistance, I just want to confirm I am doing this right.

I got the file from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900V/VZW/download/N900VVRUEOF1/54179/

Its a single .md5 file, named N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5
and a dll file, do I need this dll?

The instructions https://paste.ee/p/vaaNq

Say "Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data."

I want to do a full wipe, does that mean I rename the file or not? And which slots do I check / load files into, just AP?

If you only have one file put it in the AP slot. Don't worry about the CSC, check or uncheck the right boxes and start Odin. If it doesn't wipe everything and I think it will, you can do a factory reset after the install. Good luck.
