I got myself in a little over my head here and could use some help. I have a rooted (stock rom) note 3 that has been working great but I was frustrated with the inability to use it as a hot spot and after try a few non-invasive methods I found a method involving adding .bak onto the end of 2 files using root browser and adding 2 files in there place. Well, I did that and now my phone is stuck at the yellow sprint screen. I did not install a custom recovery on it.:crying:

Not a big deal if the data is wiped.... important stuff is already off the phone.... I just need it to work again.

here is what i've tried so far:

windows based root explorer to attempt to correct file naming (will not recognize phone on loop screen or in recovery mode)

odin 3.10 will recognize the phone on com3 when it's stuck on the boot screen but not in recovery mode

wipe/data factory reset

Installing factory ROM (from stockroms.net) via and got the following messages E: footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note3 stuck in bootloop

I am having a similar issue. Ive been trying to follow all directions without worrying anybody as I know you all are busy however I have gotten myself into a bootloop. I have a sprint Sm-n900p rooted with chainfire method. I felt confident after that and decided to try to setup to use with straight talk (Which is the ultimate goal) I flashed the Modem.tar.md5 file to the phone via odin and now it continually reboots. Im not sure how to undo this.:confused:
