You didn't run a Nandroid backup before going to a custom kernel? You might/should be able to restore just the kernel from it if you did, depending on which Recovery you've got.
You should be able to extract it from one of the factory ODIN images in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969551
Also, the Perseus kernel thread used to attach images of the stock kernel, but i don't see them there now. Not sure why he's pulled the links.
We really need one of those threads that links to all the stock stuff like kernel, images, modems, etc.
Edit: Ahhh...found the "stock kernel" I'd downloaded from Perseus when I first tried his kernel last month. Here it is, flash at own risk in Recovery.
Yeah I backed up. My girl somehow format it though. Thanks I went ahead and download a stock rom. Backed up then restored boot. Img. I like using all my cores. The custom kernels do not. Better performance for me on stock. Thanks.

Ah, that's an interesting tidbit about the cores.

Hi XDA! I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900T T-Mobile. I've had custom roms such as CM11 Nightly in the past. Well after trying to do a fresh install a while back of another custom rom, my phone at first had no OS because I wiped it like a doofus. So I flashed it back to stock, 4.3 at the time. And then starting a couple weeks ago I flashed CWM using CWM Manager app. That's when the same issue that's recurring over and over, began. My phone works great as long as I never reboot into recovery. If I reboot into recovery it gets stuck in a bootloop. However I noticed tonight after trying to reboot into recovery using goo manager, I noticed the last line when it first boots, then bootloops, says Set warranty bit-recovery. If I remember correctly shouldn't it say kernel?? I know this is my fault because I'm not as knowledgable as all of you (I'm still learning on my own). SO my question is this. I want to fix this once and for all because I can't ever flash a custom rom like Darthstalker (that's the one I'd like to flash)...after several failed attempts of flashing CM for example, to no avail. What can I do to fix this once and for all and be able to flash a kernel, and Darthstalker? I can get into download mode, needless to say. ANd all the other times it's bootlooped I flashed KitKat 4.4.2 and everything works fine until i try to reboot into recovery. I am at my witts end because this i I really want a custom rom instead of flashing only the md5. Would anyone please be willing to give me a tutorial of some kind? I know it's a lot to ask but I can't find another reliable source that can explain how to do all of this. You're the only site I trust and if anyone is willing to give mea tutorial via email , PM, etc. I'd be eternally grateful beyond belief. Thank you in advance for any advice or info
I posted a few days ago about my bootlooping in the recovery. I finally fixed it by these 3 steps.
1) Odin flashed Stock 4.4.2 complete as this sets the correct boot loader.
2) I downloaded Twrp 2.7.0 the one that list KitKat (Must say this) 4.4 version.
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
3) Right from Odin when flashing this you set it not to reboot, Once finished you then unplug the usb cable and pull the battery. Let is sit for about 10 sec. Then with the upVlm,Home and Power it will boot to the recovery. It first will post what you said but wait about 10 sec more twrp will come up.
4) Now you should be able to flash any rom you want. I am using axmans N3 for now works great. I will be trying CM 11 later.
5) make a backup once in Twrp
Hope this helps.

I'm honestly confused on what you are asking. What bootloader are you on . Jellybean or Kit Kat. That is the big part of the question. If you are on Kit Kat you can no longer run Darthstalker as it's a 4.3 rom. Just curious because you say that you flashed 4.4.2 rom and everything works. Also, the bootloop would either be your kernel or your recovery. I would suggest Philz or Twrp 2.7 as they are both updated and will work on either bootloader.
Once you have flashed a bootloader and custom recovery NEVER USE ODIN AGAIN UNLESS YOU HAVE BRICKED YOUR PHONE.

I'm on 4.4.2.I figured it is my kernel. After sending this message last night I had my phone in download mode but didn't do anything to it. I decided to turn it off and then on again and it booted. So if this is a kernel issue where would I find one and how would I do this? Oh and when the bootloop occurred last night I was trying to boot into recovery via too manager. If I put Twrp on my phone when I have CWM will they interfere? I apologize for the likely stupid questions but I'm just wanting to get it done properly. One last thing is PacMan ROM compatible?

The kernels you can use are listed in the general thread. A user posted a very good listing of what's what. TWRP 2.7 or Philz Touch are the 2 recoveries i would recommend using. Whichever one you decide will overwrite the other. you can never have 2 recoveries.
OK I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. One solution mentioned was to flash 4.4.2 stock using Odin. But you said not to use it unless I've bricked my phone. So now I'm lost. Lol. Do I flash the stock with the above mentioned method? Or do I flash a kernel and then a ROM? I apologize for my inexperienced questions. I'm including my device info below in hopes you can tell me the very first step I should take. Thank you for all your help!!!

You are already on the 4.4 bootloader so you can no longer use the Darthstalker rom, you can only use Kit Kat 4.4.2 and above roms from here on out. Next question would be have your rooted your phone since the update and have a custom recovery. If you have not rooted, then you will need to use Odin to run the CF_Autoroot, but that will trip your Knox to 0x1. Thus voiding your warranty.
Yes I rooted. But every time I try flashing CWM or Twrp it bootloops. And to get out of bootloop I have to boot in download and then cancel download and it reboots normal again. Is this a kernel or boot loader issue?

oh sorry for the late response. Just got back from boy scouts. Anyway. No you don't need to flash back to stock, Your just flashing the wrong version of TWRP. You can go to the android originial development thread and download the TWRP 2.7 and flash via recovery and you will be all good to go. Also, download the latest Wootever kernel just to make sure you have both angles covered. Both downloads are found in the same section.
Ok thanks so much. Im a little scared to flash in TWRP as it always puts me in bootloops. I did download philz and I was considering flashing that via Odin as I can't boot into recovery. Would that be the next best thing to do? Oh and dont apologize!! I can't thank you enough!

Yes, odin the custom recovery and you should have no more issues. As for the bootloops with TWRP, you only had issues with that, because the version you were trying to use was outdated and does not work on Kit Kat
Hmm found an interesting possible solution and would greatly appreciate your guidance. I found a ROM that supports KK and I think in this thread that it may indicate why I bootloop when trying to bootbin recovery. http://www.infamousdevelopment.com/...-recover-from-a-bad-flash-updated-for-kitkat/
I'm seriously considering following this whole tutorial of his to the letter. Would it be wise to do?

You have already upgraded to Kit Kat, that part is done. and you ran CF_Autoroot correct in Odin correct? If you have done both steps all that is left is to Odin the Philz Touch Recovery that you downloaded.
Ok and yes I did both the first two steps you asked above. After I do flash philz can I flash a ROM it CM or PacMan as long ad they're 4.4.2?

As long as they are AOSP Roms that support both bootloaders yes, and as i've been told most if not all the AOSP Roms do support the Kit Kat bootloader that you are already on.
Ok thank you again. I will likely flash philz tonight (if hubby allows me to cuz I usually stay up all night til I got my phone the way I want it, ie no boot loops lol) I will report back to let you know if it works. This phone has been through hell and back with me but I've learned a lot!! Especially from contributors such as yourself. :thumbup:

From all the all roms I have seen, its not available yet...
And as for the patch I was thinking of trying it but im afraid of bricking my phone. You can flash that rom as long as the rom doesnt install two files( which are carrier related). I just cant remember what files. Just read in that thread and look for those files. when u download the rom use root explorer and check that the rom doesnt have them in there.
Let me know how it goes ?

So to confirm, you tried the patch at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394 and you got stuck on the flashing Samsung logo? Me being the noob that I am, I (stupidly) decided to simply go ahead and flash the N7100 version on my L900 following the instructions for the N7100 (original) varient. It of course bricked me, never got anything beyond the flashing Samsung logo, just does that forever until I pulled the battery.
However, by attempting to flash it I seem to have created other problems and here's where I'm stumped. I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no? What I'm getting at here is that I'm pretty sure Nandroids from different recoveries, for example CWM and TWRP are completely incompatible right?
If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

Okay lets cover the backup types first. Philz will backup/restore in both twrp and cwm format but you have to select the option. Now about your backup it will still be no good since it was created with twrp.

Decided not to root this phone because of Samsung pay and I haven't had any luck with custom kernels on last 2 phones, always worse battery drain then stock. I don't understand why a custom kernel was needed for root this time I've used stock kernel on note 2,3,and 4. Maybe I'm just that dense and have never understood what goes into gaining root at any level but it's all good I'm happy with stock for once on a Samsung phone.

Sorry for all these questions i just never used odin before lol. Thanks for all the help!!

The firmware zip files are actually TAR files after you extract it from the zip file.
Once you extract the TAR file with winrar/winzip you need to flash it using Odin.
You cannot flash or install the firmware files if you don't extract the TAR files
and use them with Odin.
There is no way to flash zip files using Odin and you cannot use Odin to flash roms.
Roms are zip files which have to be flashed using twrp or philz recovery.
My suggestion for you is to do a lot of reading and research
here in xda before attempting to flashing anything.
Good luck,
Have a great weekend.
Odin will flash the .md5 files just takes a while as it verify's the file. Once verified you can press start.

Thanks for the toggle mod, it worked great!
I just hope that one of these days you can modify it so the toggles don't have a continuous scroll but
instead work more or less like the stock toggles notification screen where we normally edit them.
So far so good, not one erroneous reboot or any other issues after rooting.
The wifi calling is the one and only thing I have found which is not working.
I always disliked the secondary symbols on the keyboard, to me they are not only
an eye sore but they look like chicken scratches next to the letters making it more
difficult to read the letters so I edited the feature.xml & removed all the secondary
symbols and what a difference it made. It looks clean and easy to read now.
I did the same thing with my Note 3 and Note 4 as well.
Also,
There is one thing which I dislike after rooting, and that's philz recovery I
would so much prefer to use twrp instead.
What's the worst thing that can happen if I were to odin flash the twrp recovery
which the N920T Note 5 people are using?
I would love to give it a try if I knew for sure that if worst came to worst I could
simply odin flash philz recovery again.

ok look for these 2 lines in the updater script
Code:
run_program("/tmp/sqlite3", "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db", "insert into system values(null, 'notification_panel_active_number_of_apps','49');");
run_program("/tmp/sqlite3", "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db", "insert into system values(null, 'notification_panel_active_number_of_apps_for_reset','49');");
change the 49 to the number of toggles you want showing then in the lines above move around the toggles you want to the start of the line. Say you want 10 move the toggles you want to the first 10 in the order you want to show them. I haven't really tried this but in theory it should work as I like to be able to toggle any one from the scroll.
Yep the kernel has been solid! ipsec fc is wifi calling. I just sent a link to the source on my git for the G928T kernel to the developer and hopes he will make a true TMO kernel.
Yea the keyboard is much cleaner and love all the feature.xml mods
TWRP may work as long as you don't use f2fs. Don't mind Philz have used it before on my S5 when TWRP was causing problems.
Deodexed extraction problem
So I read in this forum that the tar file comes out when you extract the zip, so I did that, but all I get is a file folder. Is there some obvious way to get the tar file to flash with odin that i'm missing? I've read everywhere and I can't just switch the zip to tar so I really don't know what to do.... Can anyone explain to me on how to flash this? or at least get the tar file or maybe md5?
Thanks so much for the help!

What exactly did you want to flash? (we need more specifics)
What exactly do you see when you open the zip file?
You are right, you cannot rename the zip file to tar.
I am assuming that we are talking about odin flash firmware.
Good luck!

So you just odin'd the twrp and no worries? Seems like that will make rooting a lot easier.

I keep hearing with philz there is a lot of "don't let the phone reboot" "use this odin" "untick this" "press this button combination". Made me not want to root until some bad ass rom dropped. But if I can just odin twrp like every other Samsung phone I've owned, I may just go ahead root in the morning

Yeah its working perfectly for me. Im just not a fan of Philz So its just sent ahead and flashed twrp and its worked! Haha

I'm thinking about flashing the "Flash" kernel with TWRP. Can a kernel be flashed at any time or is it better to do as part of a clean build?
Thanks,

You can flash a kernel when ever you like. If are are rooted you will lose root . Make sure the kernel matches the Date Version you are on.

You can flash a kernel anytime you want. If you are rooted now, just make sure you have the latest Magisk zip on your phone. Flash kernel.zip then magisk.zip then reboot. You can even queue the two zips in TWRP to flash one after the other. If you don't want/like it anymore, just flash the stock boot.img back. There are also step by step instruction in Nathan's dedicated Flash kernel thread.
Thanks for the replies. I'm rooted and on the Jan build, but have never tried a different kernel. I'm probably going to give the Flash kernel a try.

Awesome... Yeah, and remember that Texas Tech game 11/24/17? Yeah, I was there and it was awesome, too. Guns Up! Ha Ha Ha :good:
. I want to forget that game. I didn't realize the stock kernel is located in the boot image.
