now i flash nk4 at this time it plug in and flash nk4 tar.
you can see it will boot to stock recovery and see a progress bar.
let it go. it will then reboot again. after this time myself personally wait till device turn on and shows signs of booting. (i.e when i see the android optimizing apps i pull battery)
3.
replace battery back in. boot to stock recovery. this is hold power & volume - together and boot. in stock recovery do a factory reset.
i do several. call it ocd. let the phone boot back up. it should take the update. let it do its thing. files over 920mb in size. mine took 20 minutes to dl. after its all done and booting and you see the sign like i said before. i pull the battery
(NOTE)
(IF KNOX ISNT TRIPPED FOR YOU AND YOU WISH TO REMAIN THAT WAY.DO NOT CONTINUE ON TO OBTAIN ROOT.YOU CAN TRY CF AUTO ROOT. SOME SAY IT WORKS I PERSONALLY HAVENT A CLUE.)
4.
next step is i boot back to the download mode we talked about earlier. (via a battery pull)
then i flash a customer recovery in odin . your personal choice. personally i use philz
5.
Now after she reboots and once again shows the signs of booting i said earlier. i pull battery, replace the sd card you removed earlier.
6.
boot back to recovery. i then flash supersu
7.
reboot and let it do its thing and your fully rooted on lollipop. pretty easy here is my hidden jem folder. if you need odin and such, i have a few versions. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=devices&uid=22979706399755534
Boom!
Worked like a charm. I posted last night looking for these directions exactly how you've laid them out. I appreciate it!
well done, sir!
To enter download mode, I had to press volume -, home, and power, then press volume + to continue.
Doing this process now. Hopefully be able to reply soon on its success!
EDIT: Currently downloading the new update! *excited*
I'm not sure if I'm blind or what, but how do you boot to your custom recovery? I've installed Philz Touch from your link, I've powered the phone down, pressed vol+ and power and even vol- and power, both don't work. I've had to press vol+, home, and power to boot to recovery but it appears to be stock recovery still...I'm guessing the Odin install for the custom recovery didn't take?
---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
Ok, I got it. For the noobs like me, I had to untick "Auto Reboot" when I installed the custom recovery. I'm sure it is common practice to do so but I didn't know. Once I did that, custom recovery took and I was able to boot to it and install supersu.
Thanks for this thread @kaos420.
will this work if you have twrp recovery
i may be putting this in the wrong thread. I have a note 3 sm-n900p running 4.4.4os with twrp recovery and want to unroot in order to get the OTA update lollipop, confused on the sd card removal like to know if this will work yes I have knox tripped. thanks

Enter Downlaod mode from powered completely off.
Uncheck "Auto reset" and pull the battery after flash.
First thing you need to do is boot into your custom recovery to patch your ROM (it should automatically do so assuming it is written to do so), otherwise the ROM will rewrite the stock recovery to recovery partition.
I was on oc5 and mesed up with launcher and tried to go back to 4.4.4. It goes well without any problem. Started and downloaded ota 5.0.. flashed cf autoroot and all is good. Thank you for this tutorial

THESE FILES ARE ONLY FOR THE VERIZON FASCINATE
THESE FILES HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED ON ANY OTHER SGS PHONE BY ME
THESE FILES WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK FOR YOUR PHONE IF IT IS NOT A VERIZON FASCINATE
First, download and install the samsung drivers found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779238
Then download odin from here: https://sites.google.com/a/imnuts.net/android/update-to-dj05/Odin.zip?attredirects=0&d=1
Then download the clockwork package from here: http://goo.gl/HELdr
If you have a lag fix installed, remove it. This is my opinion, and is completely optional. But i do not recommend the lag fixes, as the ones that install / work on the fascinate do nothing really, just wait for voodoo port
Then:
Put phone into download mode.
-Turn off phone
-Pull battery
-Press vol down button while plugging into computer
-Should show a yellow triangle
Open odin on pc
-Odin should show a yellow bar with a com port showing that it detects your phone
Click "PDA" button and select the CWMrecovery.tar you downloaded earlier
Click start
This will reboot your phone when complete. This flashes both the kernel and the recovery partition to enable you to flash update.zips signed with test keys. You will need to download Rom Manager from the market and select flash Clockwork Mod and select "fascinate"
To use clockwork, you can reboot recovery and Rom Manager, or cold boot into recovery (power off phone, power back on while holding both volume keys). If you cold boot into recovery you need to select apply update.zip and it will launch ClockworkMod.
Optional: ClockworkMod update.zip file (place this in your sdcard's root, and only download this if you cannot get into rom manager) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Fascinate Files/update.zip
If this post has helped you, please consider reading this:
Donations! Well, i have never asked for donations, but i would like to ask that if these files or any of my work has helped you in any way, please go to world vision and donate as you see fit. All of my work has been done for me, and i release it as i know other people would like it / need it.

Big thanks to lilinser / dkcldark; koush; humancyborg, namebrandon, geeknik, and many others that were testing and constantly flashing their phones!
And without ludeboy, well, i wouldnt even be able to get into download mode to fix my phone in the first place
Thank you!
I didn't pull the battery, just turned the phone off while holding the volume down button. Maybe I should have, as it is stuck on the Nandroid backup on Linux.ex2.
Edit, spoke too soon. I unplugged the USB cable, and is finished updating. Bring on the kernels! I want to see what this does clocked.
If you do a Nandroid backup with the lagifx installed it takes a LONG time
edit: I have done all of my odin work with the battery in and have had 0 problems
also remember, if you try to boot into recovery and you dont see it. FLASH THE RECOVERY IN ROM MANAGER TWICE.

Yes, nandroid backups will take a LONG time to complete if you are using a lagfix. I would start removing the lagfix now, we have something much much better planned for you guys.
And pulling the battery isnt necessary, just insures that new people get it done right, eliminates some questions / problems.
Removed lagfix, and confirmed that everything here works.

+1 on that backup, lets get an almost stock rom for me to flash back to in case of a bad event.
Perfect write up, I ve never worked with odin and that made it pretty simple.

stock roms can be found in my odin restore thread, at least as close to stock as we can get right now.
Thanks ya'll, you guys are awesome!!!!!!!
So I have a question....may be a dumb one....but why is it called Odin? Is that Samsung specific? The reason I ask is Odin was a code name for the 9550 storm and so it confuses me. Thanks and sorry for off topic.
success
it worked perfectly as described...
i removed lagfix first
ran ROM Manager (premium i flashed CWM twice, just to be sure...
i backed it up in ROM Manager.. when i rebooted to recovery from RM i got an MD5 checksum error when trying to restore..
I then ran a backup while in recovery.. during that backup i got no /sdcard/.android_secure found but it seemed to complete.
I used restore created from nandroid and it completed error free. (tho it did take a while, even with no lagfix (lots of data, apparently))
My phone booted just fine afterwards.... but it did sit for a while at the VZW splash screen. it made be nervous.. but i was patient
THANK YOU!
EDIT: In RM... i renamed the backup that i made in CMR and then chose to restore... it booted into CMR as expected and started restoring... completed successfully.
when it completes booting... i get a system alarm tone that doesnt go away until i use the notification pulldown... it did after both times i used the recovery.
Now that we have clockworkmod we can remove apps as long as we backed up right? I was getting rid of some bloat but stopped before i went to far. Sorry for sounding like a noob
I flashed ICS vwith KIES last night, this morning i was just trying to flash the CWM Odin file, then was going to root using the files suggested from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28559853&postcount=79
Odin is showing that the install passes, but i can't enter CWM...??
reboot while holding vol + and - together until you see the CWM screen?
You might need to provide more info.
what exactly happens when from power off you hold volume up/down and power button at the same time?
i'd reflash the cwm.
My mistake! i thought it was only the Vol + button, not both.
Thing is, there are so many people talking about how to install CWM, but it was hard when i searched to get good info on how to boot into CWM recovery mode.
Thanks and sorry for the dumb problem
Here's braways CWM recovery boot App. No need to turn the phone off anymore. Forget holding buttons!

TWRP has great built in GUI functions built right into recovery. Tomorrow we will be updating to 2.2 with a working keyboard in recovery. For those interested in the current release please visit http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/96
I went with GooManager after havin issues with CWM before it was stable (guessing it is now?). I find it easier to navigate and a little better organized for my tastes.

Make sure you have good CWM file. cwm-i717-120305.tar.md5 is the one I used (Non-Touch)
I hold power + Volume rocker (center), wait for reboot, let is buzz a couple times, let go of power - hold volume, samsung logo, hold volume for another 2-3 seconds, let go of volume ... into CWM it goes.
PHONE MUST BE POWERED OFF
HOLD both + - volumes buttons in....then
HOLD power on until it vibrates and logo appears.
LET OFF Volumes buttons.....enter CWM

Ok, I installed CWM through odin, it passed. when i boot into recovery, I get the 3e stock recovery.
I tried odin again 4 times with a couple of version of CWM (my counter says 4 to prove it), but booting into recovery always takes me to 3e stock. what am I missing?

It seams there is a script re-installing 3m recovery during a normal startup (probably /system/etc/install-recover.sh). I found a work around:
Copy rooting zip to your storage. After you flash CWM through Odin, the phone will reboot automatically. DON'T let it reboot! As soon as it turns off, take the battery out. Now, put the battery back and start the phone in Recovery mode (Volume + an - and PWR) - it will start CWM. Install Root or do a backup. Restart normally - it will put 3m recovery back.
I'll test renaming the script for a permanent solution...

I did as you suggested and I got root. I then went and renamed install_recovery.sh in /etc, I then had to install CWM one more time through odin and now it seems permanent and with root.

You need to Root first (as described above). After that use Root explorer or similar app to rename the install-recovery.sh file to something like install-recovery.sh.bkp.

nandroids, currently there is an issue where selinux flag isnt being set properly when restoring data and then causes bootloops. titanium backup should be good
just to be clear, i didnt root the note 3, you guys had an unlocked bootloader it means rooting was as simple as flashing recovery. i included rooting steps in my OP to help people out.
Great Work Shabby!

Once I rebooted it offered to repair root which I selected no per instructions but when I login to the stock room now after installing recovery and SU I receive an error that SuperSU has stopped and it never opens or allows me to open rooted applications.

Just re-run the CF-Auto Root instructions to the T and you should be back in business. I had the same issues and just used CF auto Root and it resolved my issues and I have root with no seen issues so far. Just got the device literally 1hr ago and just finishing up on it. Also if you installed a recovery you will have to ODIN back to OUDHS to get that back. I am holding off until I see some Jellybomb

Anyone know if we can now install busybox successfully without issues with this root?

Hi, I hope someone here has the know-how to help me out of the mess I've made for myself.
Okay, here's what I did:
1.) Accepted the KitKat upgrade.
2.) Ran qbking's autoroot thing. (It worked, thanks.)
3.) Flashed TWRP (I forget which version)
4.) Flashed Sac23's rom.
After the rom flash I was trapped in the 'boot-loop of death' where all powering my pone on
achieved was getting the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" splash page & then rebooting, endlessly.
In a panic I flashed the "NAB Engineering bootloader tar file" I grabbed off ofhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51165389 .
Now every time I power on I get the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" splash page (again) a forced reboot and now get the message;
"Kernel Panic!
wait...
Done!
UDC START
KERNEL PANIC
UPLOAD MODE"
At which point it just plain freezes.
Is there anyone out there who tell me how (or IF it's even possible now) I can just get back to stock??
ANY help/opinion/advice would be seriously appreciated.

You should check sacs rom for instructions on this issue, as the engineering bootloader isn't a fallback option to correct your inability to boot.
Please indicate the version of TWRP you're using, as knowing that will help. There's a chance that you are on the wrong version of TWRP, which could solve your issue.
You can always reflash stock NAB, flash TWRP, then the rom, which is pre-rooted.

I've been in a similar situation. Pull the battery on the Galaxy Note 3 page. Then hold the necessary buttons to get into recovery before putting the battery back in. Keep them held while putting the battery in. If that doesn't help break the cycle then do the same thing (battery pull and hold necessary buttons down for Odin mode/download mode and keep them down while placing battery back in) till it hits the correct screen. Then reboot to recovery from there.
@micmars: Tnx for the speedy reply (guess all that ostuff I've seen people writing about you here @ XDA are true, you really ARE a benignly omnipotent kinda dood. )
I ended up flashing the stock NAB firmware (with TWRP 2.7.0.0). It was nice not being mocked by the 'Boot-Loop of Doom'. [for a heartbeat @ least. =\ =D ]
BUT THEN
I started the root process thing again;
1.) Ran "CF-Auto-Root..." (sorry for my earlier snafu [see first post] Chainfire/QbKing77.)
2.) Flashed TWRP 2.7.0
3.) And then reflashed sac23's rom.
& I'll be uh, darned, if it didn't launch back into the same *#&$! boot-loop again. (Just to be certain I was getting a good d/l, I RE-downloaded it to both my phone AND computer this time.) And still kept getting stuck in the same "Samsung Gal..." splash screen loop. =\
For grins & giggles I downloaded a different ROM (Toxic Swamp v1.0.2), ran through the root process, all was good until I flashed the rom and the SAME bootloop started up again.
Can anyone please tell me if I'm doing something screwy in my process or if maybe I pissed of a diety somewhere or something?
ANY advice/comment/good guess would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure your flashing roms that are 4.4.2 you can't use 4.3 roms toxic Swamp 1.0.3 is 4.3 .... There is no going back to 4.3 now

Oh, and Tw1sted247, I tried the technique you mentioned (appreciate it) but it's not that I can't get into either Odin/recovery, it's that anytime I try to start my phone with anything other than stock it immediately starts in w/the merry-go-round from hell (boot-loop) thang.

OK, I'm confused..which is my favorite stage of enlightenment, so thank you.
So, as has been asked by others, why would you flash a TouchWiz Jellybean 4.3 ROM (Toxic Swamp) built on MJ4 onto a TouchWiz KitKat rom built on NAB(D)? You really shouldn't do that, as it is inviting trouble across the phone's OS.
I would kindly ask that you boot your phone and show us the "About Device" page (not the one that has all of your personal info, as no one needs to see your MEID, &c). That will give us a start.
You may be looking at a complete overhaul of your device.
Be thankful that your phone booted up, and then ONLY flash the original NAB(D) tar or One-Click, then TWRP from PC Odin, and then inject root from recovery, using the latest Chainfire Superuser zip found here.
After that, we can block and tackle where you wish to arrive.
Okay, here's the requested screenshot:

I'm usually loathe to recommend a rom, but to recommend stock DeOdex or Odex, seems harmless enough, and it'll give us a clean slate. Looks like your completely stock.
We're going to take this on two phases, first to get you just recovery and root, then onto one of the stockish roms. It's weird, but so is your situation.
So, grab one of the two stockish NABD (we'll skip the NAB group), put it on your internal memory, but plan to use it later.
TWRP below,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptl8dyomprxxn0l/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltespr-4.4.img.tar
We'll get you no ads and some mods if you want, but for now, let's get you flashing something.
Superuser (goes on your phone, try internal storage),
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbtuggkhqknm2ik/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
1. Flash recovery above from PC Odin, version 3.07 below,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2n10tjzmxlhaz4/Odin3 v3.07.zip
Power down phone completely, take off any case, install Odin, leave auto restart checked (why not?), hold power + volume down + home to go into download mode, hit volume up to confirm, then, have your fingers at the ready, you'll be holding home + volume up simultaneously, very soon, load the tar I gave into the PDA slot, once Odin confirms it's ready, click start on the computer, have your fingers ready, once it flashes and starts to power cycle, hit those two keys, and you're in recovery...
2. In recovery, flash the superuser zip I gave you, reboot...
Now stay on this awhile before proceeding to the stockish rom.
Please quote me when responding.
Good luck!

D'oh!
First of all I'd like to thank micmars et al. for lending your knowlege, expertise and namely, PATIENCE as I floundered through a SIMPLE root/flash.
Just to give ya'll the skinny, i FinAllY did manage to install both TWRP 2.7 and Sac23's kk rom onto my Sprint Note 3.
-> To be honest, I'm nearly beyond belief happy/surprised that I didn't manage to kill the $#%@ thing! =] <-

You'll likely come to find over time that these devices are pretty much able to withstand almost anything you can throw at them.
You can brick for good if you do something insane like flash a bootloader from the wrong device or build, but that aside, you can create quite the bit of turmoil for yourself.
Either way, terrific news.

Did you flash an AOSP ROM? If so, you can't update PRL or Profile using those type os ROMs.
No I am talking about the official Sprint Sanctioned NH7 4.4.4 update. I no longer can find the options for "Update PRL" and "Update Profile".
I took the sprint update too and dont have the prl and update profile

##scrtn# should trigger profile update, prl update, and system software version check. No data will be lost, totally safe to do.
You might just want to factory reset the phone to see if it brings the menu options back tough.
Having the same issue on a Note 4.
Im contemplating copying the settings.apk from my note 3 over to note 4 to try to fix but because note 4 has fingerprint scan It may be a problem
Just some food for thought.. I flashed NH7 found in micmars post... initially had PRL and Profile Update options, but once I rooted, they disappeared. Related perhaps?

Make sure after you use Odin3 to flash stock tar that you let the phone reboot to recovery to finish up.
NH7 here and all settings are present. I have downgrade to NAB and NC5 many times and back to NH7 many times and ALWAYS let it reboot to recovery after flash. My settings never go missing unless I flash custom recovery directly after stock tar. It is easy to reproduce your guys problems by not letting the phone reboot to recovery after flashing a stock tar in odin. You can make Wifi Hotspot and USB Tethering settings not get added as well doing the same.

Hi bud, are you saying to uncheck the auto reboot on odin. Then when the flash complete/pass, disconnect from PC, hold the buttons, and boot into stock recovery ?

No, if you have auto-reboot checked you should see the phone reboot itself and see android guy with progress bar for a second or 2. This is some things finishing up in recovery. A lot of people were missing hotspot and usb tethering settings in their settings menu because of flashing custom recover directly after, or not having auto reboot checked and power off their device by holding power button 7 seconds after Odin3 flash PASS and power back up to system software.
But I see some user just had issue because of Wanam, I don't use that so I'm not sure of the complications it adds.

Cool, I see what you are saying. After I flash a rom, I let sit for a few minutes and settle in. Everything seems to work better if you don't rush it.

No it really does reboot itself to stock recovery to execute some commands after flashing stock tar.
