Heyyo, Slenderman8090 here! I am currently on the newest firmware build that Verizon Sent out. I am downgrading so I can flash/root OB6 Firmware. TWRP doesn't seem to want to flash via ODIN, but I keep getting an AUTH error on ODIN. I am a 3 Year patron of XDA/General Development, and I am not familiar with Verizon and it's lockdowns. So, what ever I can do, please let me know.

Thanks so much,
Slenderman8090

EDIT:
I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT, NOW AROMA DOESN'T WORK ON MY TWRP, WHAT VERSION IS NEEDED?

As far as everything I've been able to keep up with and read, in order for our Verizon (hltevzw) Galaxy Note 3 phones to be bootloader unlocked with a properly functioning TWRP recovery that also handles AROMA files as well, TWRP v2.8.7.0 (4.4 (the Verizon "hltevzw" variant), is the correct/proper variant that you'll need to flash onto your phone instead of the version that you've got currently. Also, it apparently doesn't matter at all whether or not you've already got a newer version of TWRP recovery installed, any newer version after v2.8.7.0 can't flash AROMA. So since you want to flash AROMA files, TWRP v2.8.7.0 (4.4) is apparently the last official version to be released which supports AROMA. I'm not sure why it didn't carry on into newer releases, but I'm sure the devs had a good enough reason for not doing so.
