unlocked note 3 n900 t mobile version, has twrp on it but my son either wiped or factory reset it, no operating system on it, d/l one (zip file) clicked install selected the zip, but it just seems to sit on the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, how long should this take? While I can do some stuff on computers, phones are a different fish.

You booted to recovery, selected install zip, then after flashing, did you factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache? If you didn't do the factory reset and wipe the 2 cache partitions, that would explain the bootloop(stuck at note 3 screen). If this is what you did, try booting to TWRP then factory reset and wipe the 2 cache partitions then reboot, it might take up 20 mins to an hour to restart and load the OS, just give it time to be sure.

I did not do those things, thank you for taking the time to reply. What I did instead was download Odin, found a stock rom and loaded that, it worked the phone is functional. It's kind of fun actually, since I don't actually need this phone. My next step is to find out how to remove the rom and use a different one. I'm guess once it's unlocked it's unlocked and I don't have to contact the company again, right? thanks for your time.

If the stock firmware that you flashed has a locked bootloader, you won't be able to use TWRP or flash custom ROMs. If the bootloader is unlocked, then you can use TWRP and custom ROMs.
If there are any custom ROMs for your specific model number, you can do what you did previously, just do things in the right order this time.
Flash TWRP via Odin, boot into TWRP, select install, then select your custom ROM zip, then select "add more zips", then select the Gapps file to be flashed with your ROM(the correct gapps should be linked in the ROM thread where you find your ROM), swipe the slider to flash. After the ROM and Gapps are flashed, make sure you factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache(do not do any other wipes), then reboot and wait for the OS to load and then sign in to the phone. You "should" be good to go after that, then you can install whatever apps you want and set everything up the way you want.

TWRP was removed and replaced with stock recovery when you flashed the firmware via Odin.
Most Samsung devices with locked bootloader these days, can't be unlocked. You might get lucky though, T-mobile might unlock it for you or allow you to unlock it. If you get it unlocked, you can flash it with custom software, but if they won't allow it to be unlocked, you'll be out of luck and stuck with stock.

Download a rom of your choice from one of the sgs3 development threads, copy it to your ext sd card, reboot into recovery, wipe phone, clear caches, install rom, install happened (if needed), wipe caches, reboot, let sit.
Thaw the jist of it. If you need a more detailed version, there are threads that walk you through it.

Are you unlocked and have a custom recovery?
If you want to install a ROM you have to first download the correct ROM for whatever phone you have and put it where you won't forget it. Then you need to go into recovery mode and do a factory data reset then wipe your cache and last you need to wipe your dalvik cache which is found in the advanced options. Then you click install zip and the you find the ROM and install it. If it has the aroma installer just follow the instructions given. After that just restart your phone. The first time you boot up your phone takes a minute so don't get worried.

You mentioned that you are rooted, but have you also flashed a custom recovery? The easiest way to flash custom ROMs, at least in my experience, is definitely through the use of recovery.
Once the recovery is installed, simply download the ROM in .zip format, move it over to your phone's SD card, then flash away. The steps vary a little, but for CWM, the steps are generally:
Wipe data;
Wipe cache;
Wipe Dalvik;
Flash ROM;
Flash gapps;
At this point, I usually wipe the cache and Dalvik again; redundant, yes, but eh.
There are other ways too, but I am only familiar with this method. I imagine you could always flash ROMs via Odin, but I feel like that would be a lot more complicated for a newer user.

Forgot; also ensure that your boot loader is unlocked. There is actually an app for it in the Play Store. Search for VZW GS3 EZ-Unlock on the forums. It's also on the Play Store, but I can't seem to find a link anywhere. Pretty much all you have to do is click "Unlock," and you'll be good to go.
MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS PRIOR TO FLASHING ANYTHING. You mentioned you were stuck at the Yellow Triangle in your post. One of the reasons for this includes forgetting to unlock your bootloader prior to flashing custom firmware (AKA Cyanogen Mod).
Make sure you unlock your bootloader. Download EZ Unlocker
^ make sure you have downloaded ez unlock first and then grab the latest recovery
need help with synergy rom
I just installed the new synergy rom latest version and it works pretty flawlessly except I cant turn my wifi on...this is a bother indeed. Any ideas jow to my that work cuz other than that one glitch it is amazing.
I had flashed TWRP and LiquidSmooth on my Galaxy SIII several months back and I had also gone into the settings and enabled the encryption functionality. It warned me that the only way to De-encrypt the phone would be to "wipe" or format the phone.
Last week I decided I wanted to look at the Hyperdrive ROM so I wiped my phone and then flashed the Hyperdrive Rom, however when the phone booted up it prompted me for a password because it still see's the phone as encrypted. I have wiped the phone multiple times using TWRP (the Format functionality as well as all of the other wiping functionality available), but I get the same results, it always prompts me for a password when it boots up. Now if I flash LiquidSmooth back to the phone, I do not get prompted for a password when the phone boots up. What do I need to do to completely remove the encryption from the phone so I can flash a new rom on it?
Thanks

I'm a little confused, is twrp asking for a password or the system when you boot it up?
I think your best bet it to Odin back to stock and reroot. This problem comes up occasionally with twrp. I know this will definitely work.
I couldn't find any information on how to get around the password. But I'd guess you may be able to overwrite it my flashing a new recovery from odin or using an app like ez recovery if it's twrp asking for a password.

The system is asking after I flash the Hyperdrive and it re-boots. It is NOT TWRP that is prompting me. However when I flash LiquidSmooth it works fine.

I've never seen that before.
When you try to flash a new rom again, try to format system before you flash. That should erase anything that's making a password prompt appear.
You can always format your internal SD and clean everything out that way.
Or you can Odin back to stock, which essentially wipes and formats everything.

Hi all...
I tried to upgrade by Tab 2 7" to KitKat today and failed. I installed Clockworkmod successfully, but then started getting error 7's. I discovered this was because it was outdated. I've tried to install updated clockwork mod which it says has been successful - but doesn't change the original.
I did a backup of my original rom, but this has failed to reinstall. I've tried to put an old version of cyanogen on it, which also has failed, and re-downloaded the stock rom from samsfirmware which passes through ODIN, resets but then the tab 2 hangs on the Samsung screen - flashing.
I can't seem to resolve it.
Has anyone got any ideas? I can't access anything other than clockworkmod - so if you think you know of a way I can successfully upgrade it I may stand half a chance.....
Thanks

Use Odin to restore to the stock ROM. Download the stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash it in Odin as PDA. Then, use the latest recovery (either TWRP, CWM, OR PhilZ) from @Android-Andi's recovery thread in the Dev section. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want to. Make sure you do a backup and a wipe system, cache, Dalvik, data, and android secure (if it's an option.)

Yes, I did twice and it's still hung after apparent success installation according to Odin. I've tried it twice.

What I've done tonight is reflashed the original Rom - this time it blew away Clockworkmod. It still wouldn't boot. I then put a recovery solution on from your link, which has flashed well. However I've then tried three ROMS and each have hung after installation on the initial boot.
I'll try them again tomorrow night - but do you have any idea why three ROMS plus the stock keep failing?

Did you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and data before flashing and wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? And your tablet will bootloop after a reinstallation in Odin because Odin does not wipe before installation. After flashing in Odin, reboot recovery (make sure tablet is unplugged,) and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Thanks for all your help,especially rcj! I have managed to recover my device using cynagodmod 9 - it wont run 10 or 11 but at least its up and working - even if it's a downgrade from the Android version I was on Really don't care as I can use it again with a lot more memory.
Thanks - without you I would never have found Phils ROM which enabled me to get this far.

When you boot to TWRP, choose the "Wipe" option, on the next screen, choose "Advanced Wipe", then on the next screen, choose "system" and "data" partitions(do not choose any of the other partitions). Then slide the slider at the bottom to wipe, then tap the home button in TWRP and choose the "Install" option and flash your RIM like you normally would, then after it flashes, wipe cache and Dalvik/ART cache, after it wipes the caches, select reboot and you're done.

There is probably something wrong with your recovery. They flashing an older or newer version of TWRP for your model number, then try flashing a different ROM.
If your recovery was working correctly then the steps to wipe that I told you about should have wiped your system partition, if it had done that properly then you wouldn't have anything to boot to at this point if your new ROM didn't flash. Since you booted to the ROM you tried to wipe then it didn't wipe.
Also, make sure that you still have root before you flash another recovery, use the root checker app, if you don't have root, try flashing SuperSU.zip in TWRP, then try flashing the new ROM.

It sounds to me like you flashed something that was not made for your model number. Find the correct stock firmware and flash that, then start over and find something different for your device this time.

How to do a clean install(no rom installed just recovery)? I want to format everything and flash my rom thru otg. Shud I wipe everything when I boot to recovery?
I think internal storage is the correct option then though it also removes all media on the device. Otherwise clear system, data, cache, bootloader, dalvik. Then install the rom from external source.
Should I flash from fastboot the recovery(twrp)? It might get wiped once the wipe everything.

Also, is there a way to just restore from recovery then flash another custom ROM. Then if we want to change custom ROM again we can just restore from recovery again then flash another custom ROM?
Please help us guys. Thanks.
