Just got my Note 3 (SM-N900v) and first thing I tried to do is root it with Root De La Vega.
True confession: I had no backup before trying to root.
I downloaded the Samsung drivers and installed them.
I downloaded the Odin3.09 program and installed it.
Booted the phone into download mode.
Connected the USB3 cable to the phone.
Started Odin, added the root de la vega file and clicked start.
It gets as far as this:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Root_de_la_Vega.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/014> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/014> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/014>
<ID:0/014> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
After it failed the first time, I unplugged the phone and pulled the battery to start over, only this time when it powered up, it told me:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again"
I'm stumped and don't know what to do now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
