With such conflicting statement, little if any help, there, buddy.
Anyone able to better communicate a resolution?

I can help you if you send the phone to us.
But will take little money to repair it.

SOLUTION to the phone force closing ever 5 seconds after running *#9090#*:
1) Remove the SIM card
2) Reflash ML2 with Odin
3) After first boot the phone will continue to force close. Power down.
4) Reinsert SIM card and the necessary files that ma have been damaged in the EFS folder will be rebuilt by Android on the next boot
I did try to first remove the SIM card and reboot without a change to the ROM files, but no luck. Reflashing, ML2 appeared to reset some flags for a rebuild of the damaged files.

[Q] Odin and my Note 3

Here is my presentiment that I've posted elsewhere
My phone was working just fine this morning but after updating a few apps through Google Play my phone started throwing up messages that gapps process was continuously crashing.
I then restarted the phone and it would not get to the AT&T startup. I have since flashed the OC1 kernel through SafeStrap but now the phone will not leave the AT&T startup logo.
Any ideas for what I can do? I have an older backup but not on 5.0 like I should. If need be I'll be going through the entire reinstallation process of 5.0 again.
EDIT: Just realized that I have a bigger problem now since I cannot access SafeStrap Recovery.

I need some help with ODIN to get it back to stock. As you can see, I cannot get to SafeStrap anymore. Would it be alright to ODIN to Lollipop or do i need to go to 4.4.4? Anything I need to keep in mind before doing this? I just need to get to SafeStrap and I can get to some backups that I have.

You need to Odin flash the NC2 Kernel to get Safestrap to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2800888&stc=1&d=1402892555 then you should be able to wipe and install one of your backups.

So I have the kernel you linked downloaded and unzipped. Within Odin 3.10 do I want to place that md5 file under the "Re-Partition" entry?

I know you're probably sick of me posting but would I have to ODIN flash a different kernel to get Safestrap access on Lollipop? For some reason once I updated the startup prompt for Safestrap disappeared.

Yes you would have to flash the NC2 Kernel then after you are done with Safestrap you need to flash the OC1 Kernel. To access Safestrap without Odin you would need to install the NC2 Flasher from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development/nc2-flasher-app-unsafe-t2989141/ plus you need the two (2) files from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/att-nj5-safestrap-t2957471 Thanks @benwaffle and Thanks @carl1961.

Rooted; what OEM apps to freeze with TB?

What apps/settings are you guys freezing with TB? I want to freeze update so I don't accidentally take whatever OTA's are available, but what else do you guys freeze?

How do you get TB work? It said that my s6 edge is not rooted and its rooted with pingpong root..

You have to switch from Kinguser to SuperSU.

I think there was instructions on how to manually switch in the OP of the pingpong root thread. I just rooted my phone last night, and it installed supersu instead of king

New version installs SuperSU instead.

It's a very difficult procedure for users with a little or no experience/knowledge but here you can find the instructions on how to do it. If you don't know or don't understand how to do the procedure, DON'T DO IT.
Instructions can be found in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016

Thanks I just uninstall the older version and install the new one and replace the app.. Thanks!

That's what I was going to tell you. To un-root the phone and then re-root using the new pingpong version. Glad that you could make it.

So what apps need frozen to stop the update being pushed out? Took a quick look and the only one I see is the 'AT&T Software update' one, but I'm pretty sure there are more pieces you can freeze, just can't recall the names.

I just froze ATT software update in TB and I haven't DL'ed the newest update. May try to go back to stock to take the OTA then try rooting again. I'm scared though, haven't used Odin in years!

I ended up just freezing it and it hasn't come back trying to d/l anything, so I'm happy for now.

I did it this way and it worked perfectly. Had a little mishap though trying to download twrp through pay stpore instead of flashing. But, everything works now

Could you help me? I flashed a stock lollipop rom via odin and it worked flawlessly. I now would like to reroot my device. I downloaded all the correct files and when I go to flash the tar file via Odin I get an error, "security check fail: recovery". It won't flash but luckily didn't brick my device. I've tried plenty of time to no avail

Go to settings - security - reactivation unlock (uncheck it). Try flashing again, you should be good to go.

I manually flashed the system.IMG, kernel (aka boot) and recovery ramdisk image thru fastboot. With that, I was able to start (it wouldn't) but I somehow was missing some things I had deleted (and that's understandable) but some things I never had as well (such as system update, clones, magazine, and translator.
Somehow, after starting I was able to see the update in Firmware Finder, which before that I hadnt been able to. Downloaded it immediately and I also, same as another commenter I read just now around here somewhere, had problems with the extractor, so this time instead of the three individual IMGs thru fastboot, I flashed TWO of the supposed to be three update, update full, and update public (with the missing one being update.zip) straight thru the unofficial TWRP and voila! Back to complete clean stock with safety net (and Google pay verified and conserving custom recovery
