Re: [Guide][Samsung] How to flash Stock ROM via ODIN
Hey Golf, I'm a tech geek with iOS devices, but not so much with Androids. My bf is. And he's been teaching me a lot, but i found your post and found that you were highly active and a helper, so I need some help. lol.
I've been using Android for about a year now. I have the Galaxy Note 3 on T-mobile. SM-N900T (white)
I was using TWRP with Jedi Elite v5, but it's a 4.3 JB rom.
I downloaded the 4.4.2 stock from xda (since it was faster than Sammobile) and tried to flash it exactly like you said. Extracted the 2 zip files. put the MD5 into the PDA section and checked it. Left everything else the way it was by default.
It flashed, then rebooted "Rebooting into recovery....." with the "big white word" SAMSUNG in the middle like a regular boot (except with the blue wording in the top left "Rebooting into recovery...."and after a half hour, absolutely nothing happens. I'm not sure if the COM 6 being in YELLOW (in odin) mattered, since it wasn't in blue. But everything said it passed. So now I'm having to go through Samsung Kies with it's EMERGENCY Firmware Repair Upgrade/Install and try to get it fixed that way...
Could it also be that I had it plugged into the hub built into my STEELSERIES APEX gaming keyboard instead of directly in a port on my PC? I'm not sure, but any advice from you would be quite helpful.
