Please I need some help! I just got a Note 3 today (I had a Note 3 when it first came out) and installed safestrap to it. I put a rom on my 64gb card and backed up the stock rom and then wiped all data, system, cache, etc. and when I tried to flash the rom it failed. I tried to do my restore and that failed also. I rebooted to recovery from safestrap and it went to the factory recovery. When I try to reboot the phone it just sits at the Samsung screen with the custom and lock icon. I don't know what to do. I think its the 64gb card that wouldn't allow the rom to be flashed or the restore to work. Is there an odin back to mj5? I think it's the only thing I can do.

I was able to restore to mj5. Do you know if there is a problem with 64gb sdhc 10 micro sd cards or flashing roms to the stock rom slot?
Flash from the internal. Report back

After a lot of playing around I think it is safer to use a 32GB for flashing or internal. Sometimes recovery doesn't play nice with a 64GB.
i would always recommend flashing from the internal with safestrap. just seems to be more stable. keep the file on your Ext for safe keeping but copy it to your internal for flashabilty<<<

Normally means its bricked if it freezes on flashing the factory file
Did you perform any factory resets while on ics?
Sounds like superbrick, have you got warranty?

So that's a workaround that will repartition your chip, means you will lose some space on internal SD.
Can you let us know how much space you lost? Its usually around 3 to 4gb, but have seen as high as 5.

It is possible to try and regain some of that lost space, but its very time consuming, There is also a way you can swap the memory around, So your external SD will become internal and vice versa, Pretty neat if you have a 16gb+ external sd.
Although with the brickbug bug, Id much rather keep all my precious stuff on my external sd just incase.
See this link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28057775
i lost about 3-4gb...not a deal breaker since it has external sd...im happy...she is running...again..

I would've suggested trying to copy the backup you see in root browser to the external sd, you mentioned you installed to stock slot and wiped and every now and then ss does that, sometimes it erases your internal sd and maybe what you see in root browser are the "corpse" of the backup you made. Try to get an ex sd will save you a lot of headache in the future.
I was experiencing problems with my rooted mj5 so i used that popular thread on how to revert to stock mj5. Everything went smooth, but im still having the bootloop problems. The custom lock logo is gone on bootup so i know its true stock mj5 now, but my loader hangs on the ATT animation logo for a bit then keeps restarting. This process goes on and off for a few times until it manages to pull itself through. Should i call ATT for a replacement or is this fixable?
Went into recovery mode and cleared cach - didnt work
Went into recovery mode and did a factory reset - didnt work
f*ck.
Did you flash the 2400258.zip file in the stock recovery?

This. I've reverted back to mj5 multiple times and never got into a bootloop. Don't take it back to AT&T for your mess up. That's fraud.

As i stated above the factory reset does not work. I noticed the main problem was coming from the sd card slot. It doesnt matter what sd card is in there, it will cause the phone to lose signal and enter a weird bootloop. A few hours ago i re installed mj5 and did every step to get a 100% new stock again. The 16gb and 32gb class 10 sd card will cause my phone problems. The main problems are bootloops and if i go to make a call, the service bar will turn to an O with a slash until i end the call so i can not call anyone while my sd card is installed.
Im considering just updating to kitkat and if it has problems from there then i know the phone has hardware issues, then off to AT&T it goes...
OK I don't usually post questions on here...I like to be the answer guy, but recently I ran into an issue that I cannot figure out.
I rooted using towelroot and installed "Safestrap-HLTE-3.72-kk.apk". Everything seems to be fine. I made backups and a rom slot but had issues with the X-Note rom booting.
I booted back into recovery and deleted the rom-slot1 then back to android os. Root explorer now only shows 25gb for capacity but under settings it shows 32gb total still.
I have tried looking for a format option for internal storage, which I swore was in twrp somewhere from what I remember from the T-Mobile note3 I recently had.
I also looked through the root and /system/ directories and found some "ss", ".ss", and "safestrap" references, but no system.img, data.img, etc files found or noticed anyways.
The only thing I can think of is to flash the stock rom and pit using Odin and reroot and reinstall Safestrap again and restore my backup to get my full 32gb of storage back.
Any suggestions would be awesome

25 gb is the actual memory you can use, the phone uses the 7 gb to make your phone run.
Lol...I actually looked at that last night. You're right....it takes a whopping 6.7gb for system. Thanks for the input. Case closed

Ok so I had this att note 3 unused laying around.. So decided to root/twrp it using safestrap.. Well all was good went and got the du rom and gapps and went to back up my stock os with twrp but, took up about 7 minutes of my time to back it up so I thought all was good and did the full wipe.. Well the rom didn't work and for some reason my backup didn't save... So now I'm stuck with no os.. Would like to get back to factory os and I made sure I didn't do a wipe of the SD just the factory reset in twrp.. Any help would be great.. Haven't messed with a Samsung device in years...

If you follow this link, you will be able to download the odin files to get your phone back to NC2 or 4.4.2
Thanks for the quick reply, but I guess you have to go in trwp and manually select the internal SD card, I did and my backup was there so restored it and everything is OK!
