How do I restore stock firmware. I have firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I am using KIES 3 because I have a Samsung Note 3 N900A and it won't connect.

- Restart your phone in ODIN mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power
- Register and download your stock firmware from sammobile.com
- Unzip the downloaded firmware
- Download ODIN from xda-developers
- Don't uninstall Kies as you'll need the driver
- Open ODIN and connect your phone to computer (Phone should be in ODIN mode)
- When your phone is detected it will be listed under comX
- Under PDA select the extracted firmware you downloaded (Select the file with .tar.md5)
- Only the checkbox for PDA, Auto reboot and F. Reset time should be checked
- Click start to start your flashing
- Your phone should reboot with stock firmware
Note: You'll lose all the offline content from your phone

Thanks for the information about SamMobile.com. I'd been looking for a place to download stock firmware. Happy Easter to you, too!– GeremiaCommented Apr 4, 2015 at 0:46
