I rooted my device approximately 30 days ago and received OTA updates (4.3). The updates then of course, ruined my root. I tried to fix the problem by rerooting but noticed I kept getting a error every method I tried "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [sbl1]Fused 2 > Binary 1". I also tried unrooting. I have tried every method I can find. I've even soft bricked my phone twice. I put the PIT file reccomended in the forums on my phone and now it is giving me a "direct pen input has crashed" every 5-10 seconds and freezing my phone.
What can I do?
Baseband: n900AUCUBNB4
Carrier: AT&T
Model: n900A
knox 0x0
To my knowledge nb4 could only be rooted with kingo root
You need now to follow the mj5 restore thread with root then enable survival mode in super user then update to nb4 or go to a best buy and ask them to re flash nb4

As far as I know, the "Fused" part has to do with the e-fuses that are in place within the phone. If you blow too many of them by doing things to your phone, and you try to flash a firmware that numbered lower than the current fuse count, it will fail.
I just took it to Samsung and said it was cause by the OTA update and they unbricked it for me... guess while under warranty as long as your Knox counter isn't tripped they will fix or replace your phone for free

I'm stuck folks. Any suggestions welcome. Am I just going to have to wait for a stock MJ5 package/files similar to the MI9 files in the thread above?
For those reading who were dummies like me and accepted the OTA update, lost their root, tried to re-root with RDLV: flash the PIT file ONLY from the above link and you should be back into MJ5, un-rooted.
Help please?
Well lets see here. I was rooted (Kingo) <Updated ver.
I saw the update.
Un-rooted with the SuperSU app.
Did the update
Re-rooted with Kingo.
Re-did all xposed/winam stuff.
Rebooted
Phone is on new firmware with root and I'm loving it.
The End.

yes, that's the way i should have done it (SU persist, un-root, OTA, SU root) but I didn't and now here i am.
I followed the info to flash PIT only and my phone rebooted. Now fc's allot of stuff. Can't get past it. Build number mi9, baseband mj5. Do you think someone will make an mj5 odin? Or any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Same here
Same situation here ;_; can you post just the Pit? the zip is taking forever for the fact that I just need an XML file.
ditto
+1 I was updated and rooted and decided to jack around with a data toggle in notification (/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db) and here i am
So I flashed the .pit
which let me reboot.
However now I'm in a horrible limbo state where pen imput crashes in an infanite loop making anything on the phone painful to do.
I think it's because my PDA and CSC are MI9 but my phone updated to MJ5.
I tried recovery mode wipe and "reset Phone" in settings and the issues persist.
This lovely mismatch has also rendered my ability to install firmware via Kies imposible. Nulling my plan to just roll back to stock.
Anybody have an odin one click for MJ5? I'd rather be stock than inoperable.
I'm afraid to try the method listed above for Knox flag reasons. If rolling back to MI9 is unreliable and might throw flags.
Hope someone else gets further than I have soon.

Sweet. Your OP lead me to believe that you tripped it somewhere. Honestly I'm beginning to care less and less about it. I honestly think that with a full ODIN of the current OTA WE'd be back in the clear. The inability to roll back after The thing updated without my permission is frustrating to say the least. Coming from iOS I'm also a bit surprised by the lack of OEM firmware existing in the wild.
settings.db
Might anybody have a stock unmodified /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file that i can try loading with adb?
Resolved issue with at&t.
Couldn't handle waiting for SM-N900A stock firmware so I took my phone to AT&T retail store (I didn't have warranty with them). They referred me to At&t Device support center and told me that I have a manufacture warranty with samsung for 1 year and since i didn't have any water damage or such, just a boot loop, i can just exchange it for a "like-new" product and might ship between 6 business days.

I was offered the same deal. Preferred to hold out hope that we'd get an MJ5 firmware ripped and running before that.

First page of the second link you posted. It's in the zip with all the other MI9 files. If you look further down the thread he also posted another version of the PIT. Read read read read.
Hello all.. Been gone for a bit. Catching up now and hoping for a solution but if anyone has figured this out, please let me know how or provide a link! (Mj5 Odin stock recovery)
I was rooted with designgears root method. I tried to put SU in survival mode to initiate the update to MJ5 but the update would fail after 26%. I figured I could go back to stock and repeat the process to see if i deleted any essential apps. I did not know which apps i deleted. I was able to return to stock using Kies. I saw the build was MI9 and figured since it matched the file name using De La Vega Root it would take but it didn't. Now, after using different types of MI9_OneClickBin.exe files it freezes. I tried the method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502049 but once I put the AP file in Odin, it too freezes. Now I'm just stuck and can't find a way to make my phone operational. (It's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 splash). Any thoughts?

You can't use that method once you update with OTA, it will brick your device and until a full Odin updated firmware comes along, we're stuck with the soft bricked phone, or a nasty Pen force close. Here you go:

Yea, I made mistakes. I can't wait until this bootloader is cracked but I went to AT&T warranty department and they're sending me a new phone. This thread could be closed. There are other threads with similar symptoms.
Let me pre-apologize because this has probably been asked a million times already but I haven't been able to find it.
Here's the quick rundown:
I towel rooted my AT&T galaxy S5
Afterwards it failed to complete any upgrades
This led me to think the same thing will happen when lollipop rolls out
I followed the unroot/downgrade guide posted by shortydoggg
This changed my firmware to an earlier version than what I had
I now get the update notices but the update won't complete
Instead of failing at 25% when I had towelroot, it now fails at 32%
I saw a post about the bootloader being incorrect but I haven't seen a solution yet
Big question? How do I resolve this where I will be able to receive the newest updates?
OTA updates are depenant on so many conditions (file permissions, ...) That they often fail even if you didn't root your device and simply reset/reflshed the ROM using Samsung Kies. I've been there.
If you can fully wipe and reflash the ROM using Samsung kies and the OTA still fails, locate your nearest att service center (not mobile retail stores), and take it in. Show them the OTA errors out (don't check for updates for 24 hours so you can let the att rep do it and see it) and they will reflash the ROM for you using their proprietary software. This will most likely get your OTA updates working again. Their software is similar to our Odin but for some reason it also does some extra stuff to your phone that Odin and kies don't.
You can take it in and they'll flash it for you even if kies doesn't recognize your phone. Just go in and complain about the OTA failing, don't make any suggestions and let the att tech genius offer you if you wanna flash and say yes please
Oh and don't forget to backup your files before hands.
*** Your question most likely belongs to the Q&A section.

Sorry for being a little dense but there is more than one step 3.
Do you mean step 3 under the first section:
3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key) and flash the G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)
Or the step 3 under the Notes section:
3. Should the NG3 ota update fail consider returning to stock NCE by flashing the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) then taking the NG3 OTA update (or place the G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery). Once updated to NG3 continue from Step 2 above.
Thank you for your help
Step 3 under the notes section.
Ive looked and looked and looked cant find a straight answer. Is there a way to Root Lollipop 5.0 base vs N900AUCUEOC1?
Im Tired of all the Bloat Ware on my phone.. Any Help would be Amazing at this point.

Note 3 Unroot Help and OTA update failure
I rooted my note 3 a long time ago with Towlroot running on original firmware, every time I attempt to grab the OTA update it downloads reboots begins install end gets to % and then fails due I assume to the custome/unlocked/rooted situation. I followed super users unroot and uninstall instructions . It removes root however it still boots ATT then Samsung "custum" with a lil lock on the bottom open shown open. Even a full wipe and restore does not get rd of this custom boot screen, Any ideas how I can remove completely any changed towlroot made so I can get the OTA, or is there a version I can push to phone using Odin.. Any advice or help appreciated as the current software/OS is buggy, TouchWizz crashes, phone can sometime reboot its self on its own,
Thanks in advance,

If you want STOCK Lollipop Odin files http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 OR ROOTED Lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2 For the Rooted Lollipop you will need to root it again and install busybox, supersu and safestrap (which I'm sure you know). Thanks @Walter.White
My note 4 was bought used, no warranty. When I bought it, it was rooted, but no custom rom, worked great. Once lollipop came out, I wiped and returned to non-root and was able to get the update through tmobile. Didn't bother rerooting as things were ok. Marshmallow udpate came, and I noticed a lot of screen lag. Less than a week ago, tmobile did some sort of update and now, the phone shuts off and restarts on it's own, has very slow screen response (nothing, and then tries to do the same function 10 times in a row, messaging is very slow, types the same words several times over). I did a factory re-set twice. Once, I reloaded all my favorite apps, etc. still bad, so then I did factory reset but did not add anything or bring in my contacts, etc. I am planning on buying the note 7 in a 3-4 months, but in the meantime, would like to continue to use my note 4. I tried doing the rooting method using odin, it appeared to work ok (got the successful notice), triggered the knox thing, but..when I use a root checker, it says phone is not rooted. I am hoping that by rooting and putting a new rom on there I can fix this thing in the interim. So..suggestions on what to do next? Let me know what additional information you need. Could it be the phone itself and not the software? Suggestions on a cheap interim phone? links to relevant threads also appreciated. Is there a better way to wipe everything and start new that I am did not do? I did a factory reset. I have two batteries, which I changed out intermittently to see if it as a bad battery.

You need to give more information on what you did to root. What version is your phone, what files did you odin, and did you flash SuperSU?

No to supersu? it's sm N910t, I think what finally worked what odin 3.9 version and flashed the stock that is meant to go with this particular phone to downgrade it down to lollipop. The first few times, I got fail with Odin, but realized that I had marked the option on the phone to keep it from being wiped/flashed if someone found it, once I got that off, I got a successful message. I used the following link and did all of the things mentioned on a link that I am too newbie to be allowed to post, apparently.
but it goes with 3.7 odin, flash the stock firmware from the phone model, and get to the reset button, if successul and then supersu appears.
I got as far as step 8, with odin showing the green 'reset'. But when I went back to the phone, I did not have supersu.
I've tried to do it again, but I get 'fail'
