I can't really have him install that because his phone won't go past the Galaxy Note 3 screen when he boots. This is what happened... he rooted successfully rooted with kingo and installed safestrap. He made a nandroid backup and installed a rom. The rom was force closing a lot of his apps so he decided to return to his nandroid backup. He first wiped everything and then he was going to restore but his backup wasn't there so he rebooted from there and that was his mistake. He can't enter safestrap anymore and won't get past the Galaxy Note 3 screen. This is all the information I have from his device.

Look in general section for restore to mj5. That will get him back to mj5.

I bricked mine with a botched 4.4 update file or something, I took it to the Samsung experience center at best buy, they flashed it back to 4.3 for me even with the boot screen saying CUSTOM

i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though
Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel
Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks
there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app

An issues with returning to stock

Hi! I am trying to unroot my phone and return all the way to stock.
Problem is that I lost all my backups.
I *think* I am currently on an older version of the FireKat rom.
I just want to completely go back to stock everything and start fresh. Will probably end up rooting and ROM'ing again at some point but for now just want to get on stock everything. Getting bored of my phone and having a lot of little bugs and issues (nothing major) but would like to switch back for a while because I simply just dont have the time to keep up with everything.
So if someone could please just point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Have looked for a guide on how to do it but am not sure if it will work for what I am trying to do.
Thank you very much in advance!

The screenshot above is where my phone currently stand. So what do I do to get from there to stock everything? I am also using several Wanam Xposed mods/tweaks/whatever. Does that effect this process at all?
I am aware of the comment someone left but I have no idea what that is. Any care to help me out and let me know if that applies to my current situation? I really need to get this done tonight. Thank you all!
What I linked to earlier is the thread which contains the stock restore files which you can use to restore your phone to factory fresh official NC2 using Odin. There are several threads linked in the thread I posted which will help you to restore If you aren't familiar with using Odin.

Thank you very much!! So after I do that I will be able to take all the official OTA's without messing anything up correct?
Real quick before I go through with this.. Do I want to ONLY use the 4 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC)? Or do I want to use those 4 files AND the pit file? Sorry for all the questions it has been forever since I did this
You shouldn't have any problems taking OTAs after this process. Unless there are any problems with your partitions, I wouldn't bother with the pit file.

I don't even know exactly what that means so I should be fine haha. Gonna try it now. Thank you very much for the help!

Can anyone help
..
The firmware you trying to flash is to old. I could bet, you are already on Oreo firmware. That firmware you try to flash is an old nougat firmware with old boatloader. And you can't downgrade the bootloader. That's the reason why the flash process failed.
Use the latest available Oreo firmware for your country.
Edit:
And don't select re-partition in Odin!

Are you using the latest Odin when trying to flash the filmware? (Needed for Oero)
The rooting function properly failed and has locked your device into Downloading Mode. You could try and take your device to a Samsung Service Center. They maybe able to help you.

<<<PLEASE>>> I need help. "Nand writer start" and does nothing else

<<<PLEASE>>> I need help. "Nand writer start" and does nothing else
Hello everyone, I have a problem, if you can help me, I want to put the rom stock of android 8 but when I put the 4 odin files it stays in "Nand writer start" and does nothing else. I have flashed many phones but never I had this problem. The mobile is not rooted or anything strange, it has the factory Android 9 ROM.
I have tried odin 3.09,3.10 and 3.10.7 and the problem persists.
What can happen?? :crying::crying:

I'm assuming you're trying to downgrade to a version with a lower bootloader version/number, which you can't do
You can only downgrade to the version with the same bootloader number.
So I can't downgrade to the android version 8?
did you tried with another tool?

Yes. I tried with odin 3.09,3.10 ,3.10.7, 3.13 and another ROMs the sammobile :crying:
The bootloader is locked in Pie after each OS update to prevent us from downgrading the OS on our devices.
Could this be the solution?

read up all about downgrading bootloaders( its not possible). check what your phone currently has then check what youre flashing. the 5th character (number) starting from the right when checking firmware build is the BL revision.
u can flash an equal or greater build. not a lower one.
also only 3.11.x and 3.13.x and future odin versions work on note 9 to flash firmware files.
in the picture u posted, your issue is the odin build.( ure using and old 3.09.x build)
while rooting might alow you to flash a custom rom(oem unlock is the 1 step to rooting) that is oreo based, not sure why one would want to do this. Q is just around the corner and keeping devices up to date now a days should be paramount.
Thank you very much.
I tried this to unlock the OEM and it forces you to format the smartphone completely, it doesn't work.

Can't Flash Official Firmware

Hello!
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N960F) from a third party shop.
I saw that there is no Software Update option.
After 2 days I discovered that it's in a custom rom (may be) called Lamlazy OS.
Then I downloded official firmware from #sammobile
And tried to flash with Odin.
But every time it failed with an error " repartition operation fail"
So will you all please suggest me what I can do now?
Or the flashing procedure ....
Thanks
i doubt that your phone N960F. Go to download mode and in the first line there will be Actual model number of phone.

the problem in the OP isnt caused by a model number mismatch, its because he is trying to flash the PIT. Flash it again without the PIT and it wont experience that issue
