That bc you are only rooted...
Being rooted dows NOT allow you to install a custom recovery. This requires a unlocked bootloader. You will more than likely have to use Odin to reflash ND7 and then root again

The reason in installed clockwork recovery was I was trying to use the mods listed listed HERE> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/development/mod-wifi-usb-hotspot-tethering-t2874035
I got the first warning, ( "System Software not Authorized" ) after installing clockwork recovery.
Next I download 4.4.2 from Sam Mobile and tried using Odin then Kies several times and the warning changed to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I think it's a Hard Brick because GhettoRoot is preventing me from flashing 4.4.2.
It was a brand new phone I got under warranty. What should I say when I return it?
( All-together I have # 4 of the note 2's. Two with cracked screens, Also I have One Re-Manufactured asurion and this brand new one that has the software warning )
For a test I tried flashing 4.4.2 on one of the other phone with GhettoRoot, that would not work either.

You need to use Odin and reflash Stock ND7..
I updated that OP with directions when you do NOT have a custom recovery and are only rooted.. This is why it is so important to understand what you are doing, how you phone works, and many other things..

I don't think you can flash ND7 without removing GhettoRoot first. ^^^^ I explained in post #3 , I tried it on two different phones.

That is bc you are attempting to flash MJ9 which is 4.3... You need to flash ND7 4.4.2 since you took the OTA and also upgraded you sboot.img. Thats why it is FAILing at sboot.img...

I was originally trying to just go to the new kitkat rom, i believe that was CM11 or something of the sort. But for some reason i cannot do anything with my phone when it comes to installing or changing the recovery. Odin fails every time. One-Click-Root fails every time (which i think is what i used from the beginning to root). I even upgraded ROM manager to pro so i could try the touch based recovery and it will not successfully install a recovery that i can boot into even though it says that it has and shows(ed) the current recovery being the most up-to-date version. And now since ive tried several different today, i have lost root somehow...even thought i just had it and didnt change anything with the root process...just trying to regain even the stock recovery. Basically what happens if i try to boot into recovery mode is it tries for half a second then boots to ODIN mode and in the top left corner it says failed normal boot or something of the sort.
Can someone point me in the right direction? would a factory reset within the android OS help anything? every thing is backed up, so that wont be an issue as far as apps/data and important files goes.
The phone still boots to my "rooted" 4.3 that i have installed, just dont have root privelages any longer...the phone still works as normal...just cant do anything root based...like run titanium backup or supersu, and even ROM manager is NOW giving me an error when trying to install a custom recovery.
I would like to restore to stock MDK so i can start from scratch and install the CM11 KitKat Rom if at all possible...

you would have to to use the loki process to gain root and install the custom recovery at the time. I really can't help as I got into the S4 with ME7 base and been using safestrap.

i know my connection is phenomenal since i downloaded a 9 gig file last night from a different source and it took under an hour...this .tar is less than 2 gigs...shouldnt take that damn long...
i also tried flashing the recovery .tar.md5 from that link...same exact result...

I knew i hadn't put it in the right place...hopefully it'll get more view here...and i can get this thing sorted out
so right now the screen shows (phone)--(yellow triangle)--(computer) and says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
this is after trying to install the stock restore .tar files in the link mentioned above...the device will NO LONGER boot the os and goes to this screen every time. I can still get it into download (Odin) mode though.

The "fail (auth)" means that you're likely no longer running an MDK bootloader. It's refusing to load the MD2 that's used by Loki.
Do you get the same failure when you try to flash the stock MDK ROM image? What text shows up on your phone when you try to flash the stock?
Since you're stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." it indicates that the bootloader rejected a flash, which means you may have somehow updated to MI1 or later. The message on the phone when the flash fails will tell for sure.

That means you lost the mdk bootloader and can only use Safestrap to boot custom rooms :/ you will need to root via saferoot in the development thread first. Then load Safestrap which only has one ROM that currently works (hyper drive 12).

EDIT: well nevermind...i think i was just crazy to think something different...i am definitely running the latest release of 4.3 from vzw...fml...well at least it can still be rooted. Is there any development for KitKat on the new MK2 software? Ill do some searching around...
i do remember, however, doing something that a tutorial said specifically not to do...and it worked anyway...even though several people responding to the thread said not to do or it would brick the phone...o well i guess...if i find the link ill post it up...

so i found the thread for this ROM and it doesnt say anything about being able to run on MK2 build...can anyone shed some light on this? it only says MJ7...
Ive looked all over and tryed a couple different things to fix this. I tryed doing a clockworkmod recovery and it did not work. Then i tryed to use loki and it bricked the phone. Now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try agian". I have tryed using odin to go back to the stock rom/firmware and it fails half way through on two different pc's. then i tryed kies and it wont read my device on either pc. i have reinstalled samsung drivers on both pc's and still nothing. If anybody has any ideas it would be appreciated. I have a good knowledge of PC's but this is the first time messing with a phone.

Wow. You didn't do any research at all did you? You're going to have to find a ME7 (or later build) .tar file and use Odin to flash back to stock and start all over.
Just know you CAN'T install a custom recovery with ME7 (or any build after that) and you can't revert to an older build. Your ONLY option is Safestrap. Read that thread I linked you to and do your research.

I did but idk if I did something wrong, I soft bricked and had to odin back stock with the firmware off of samfirmware site
Kernel build date on NG3 is July 19 so the exploit has been patched. Can't root with towelroot since it needs a kernel build before Jun 3.
What I did was odin flash philz recovery, then went into the custom recovery and went to reboot, it asked me to root and so I did then was able to download su from play store and was rooted

This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.

And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.
The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.
Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

Yeah, I did it via download mode.
So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.
If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.
All good now =)

you need to revert to ne6 firmware for towel root to work. once rooted you can upgrade with mobile odin pro this will allow you to retain root and not trip knox

But as I commented on my first post here, nada, nothing, I have tried the Phillz, the CF-auto-root, downgrade, with the original cable and others, with and without the sim card and/or sd card inserted (all of this with usb debug on in the developers settings) i dont really understand why, everything I try goes to fail and soft brick, only recuperable with Kies and full wipe...
Mine is the MS-G900T with the latest firmware :S is very weird, isn't the first time I root a phone (Galaxy Vibrant and Blaze, Nexus and Nexus 7) and I have flsh a lot of times and I know the for this procedure you have to follow each letter step by step!
I'm start thinking that probably is a locked bootloader... dunno...
this was easy and thank you. i downgraded with the full stock file, no data loss. grabbed mobile pro and im now at ng3 rooted. tho my e-mail will not work. might have to factory reset the device.
ok so I wanted to take the 4.4.4 upgrade. so I went into kiev and installed the stock setup.
all went well and I have stock recovery but it still says I have a custom device and wont do the upgrade. I looked and sure enough it says status custom???
Any ideas as to why this would be??
any ideas how to fix it??

Save your data, then try doing a Factory Reset, see if takes you back to official. If your KNOX is 0x1, then you can flash a fresh copy of 4.4.2 through a recovery like twrp or cwm. If you where rooted, Towel Root and others will not root 4.4.4 yet.

Cheryl, I had the same problem when trying to go back to stock 4.4.2 from being rooted. Sometimes it doesn't stick the first couple of times, I don't know why. First, get a fresh copy of 4.4.2 NC5, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 this is a complete copy OS/bootloader/baseband. Just follow the instructions on the thread. Here is a link for Samsung drivers, and Odin v 1.85 http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 I think Odin v 1.85 works best.

You download odin than downliad twrp than run odin and check ap and select the twrp you downloaded. Put your phone in download mode and start odin. One thing you need to watch out for is after the process finishes the phone reboots and you need to have it go immediately into recovery instead of booting up.. if you need more info you will need to do some reading there are plenty of how toos and i can't type this much on my phone
i managed to get the OF6 sprint full rom file through kies.
this is only to be flashed using odin in the ap slot.
you will probably lose root and your custom recovery.
you may be able to root it and restore the data . That up to you to try.
This is the Sprint version Only!
here is the link: if someone wants to provide a mirror that would be appreciated.
Disabling 'Reactivation Lock' from 'Security' in the settings allowed me to root and add a custom recovery (TWRP).
your on your own from here!

It's always great to have a TAR file on PC. Thanks!
But btw, this is Android 5.0 update, right? Have read on android blogs that OF6 has been 5.1 update for T-Mobile Galaxy S6 sets. So..
Okay, it's 5.0.2. Brings Reactivation lock.

First is this a necessary update? Second does one have to update to OD3 first before doing the update. I'm still on OA6

no you dont have to update and no it isnt necessary. but if you are on stock OA6 I would take to guess that this rom is 5 months newer with improvements in alot of areas. they claim its for factory reset protection (so someone cant steal your phone and just factory reset it and it theirs now) and for reactivation protection (same thing so noone can reactivate the phone and make it theirs)
if i was on straight stock i would update. if i was on a stock rooted i would either try and root it or wait for someone to root the tar file and make it flashable through recovery.
thats my take on it.
cool... thanks. I like the security features, but at the same time I may wait till the new Moar comes out to do the work.
Is there a new radio and modem version with this update?

Thank you for this and by chance has anyone seen a firmware/modem update only for OF6 yet?
Edit: Found! Thanks tdunham - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=21717

Has anyone successfully loaded a custom recovery and possibly one of the available OA6 ROMs after updating to this full tar?
I know there are separate modem and firmware files, but I was just curious if anyone has tried to go there from full stock.

Yes. In fact, I did a full rom install, with nand erase all (after a bad flash), and I still went back to OA6 and OD3 stock deodexed roms.
Flashing TWRP from Odin works fine after flashing OF6 or OD3. I also used the CF one click root method, and that also worked for me.
Everything I did was in Odin 3.10.6.
Chainfires auto root makes odin complains about the recovery and shows 'fuse>3', which (I assume) means I've already burnt thru three of the 400+ fuses in the phone (kernel, recovery and probably rooting). I've tried odin 3.10.6 and the version that comes with chainfires auto root. Towelroot v3 says my phone isn't supported, even when using the command mod options.
I'll boot back into Windowz and try this a few more times. I don't see/know how joshdv rooted his phone...
edit: let's add insult to injury. I can't downgrade the firmware/OS to OA6, says it fails OS version.

@joshdv
Maybe it would help if you posted the link to the autoroot tar and any special steps you took to get it working.

Ya, before I flashed this, I knew I was probably stuck with OF6 and that there currently wasn't a reliable method to get root. Now, it's a waiting game to see if someone comes up with a method/hack to root this. GooooOOOOO CHAINFIRE!!!

Depends how long you're willing to wait and if you want to keep the warranty bit untripped.
If it doesn't matter, you can still flash custom recovery in odin and any one of the pre-rooted custom or stock roms that will run on the lollipop bootloader.
I got root by just installing custom recovery and flashing super su. zip
