Here is the 100% working method. No chance to fail. Unless you make a mistake somewhere.
Download Stock ROM from below link. (thanks to Chainfire)
With bootloaders: http://www.multiupload.com/IZLCKQ3VJC
Extract the zip file to a folder. There after extract the .tar file to a folder.
Open Heimdall (you should know the drill how it works) place the files from extracted folder in respective fields .
At the place of modem, do not use the one from extracted folder. Use the link below for JPZ modem
http://www.multiupload.com/F9Z64KG9XO
unzip the file and extract modem.bin, copy in phone.
Now hit START.
After completion, reboot & immediately go to ODIN 3.1.7 download mode Oops! that’s how I worked (Heimdall & then odin ). Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition) found in the below link.

Reboot and relax a little. As you over worked
It will boot to Ginger 2.3.3
Still you cannot flash custom ROM’s for that you got to reboot in Odin one’s again.

download the last file from the list. i.e.

Put in PDA and start. It will reboot and there you are ready with your flashable Gingerbread SGT.
For OVERCOME ROM 2.0 beta (Thanks to Sir Alterbridge) download the below file
http://www.multiupload.com/QW65A4Q794
copy the zip to internal SD
go to recovery, choose zip from internal SD …. Flash!
I’m waiting for BoyPPC ROM as he might probably come out with the MIUI Rom. As Mr. Alterbridge is not into eye candy stuff his work is too serious.
Is this for all verions of the SGT? IE sprint/verizon/gsm?
Odin works for me for all flash, i.e. Main rom and dbdata
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
I would like to know the same also, can this be flashed with cdma version galaxy tab?

Would be better to title the topic better. If you was browsing teh list it would look like you was asking for help in flashing. It would be much better to make title more descriptive and tag it with [GUIDE] and take away the "??" from the end.
Probably best tu number or bullet point, make paragraphs to separate steps etc, would give it more structure.
btw, you do know that the overcome rom that is linked to in this guide comes with a very complete and precise guide to follow itself anyway?

That depends on if you want to back uo your apps or not, but for most people/everyone else it was clear instructions.

there was much more then just backup like rooting and stuff. i believe people who jump to ginger all ready went through all that process. i think Appbackup is working like charm plus you can save the apk's and flash to any device. or may be titanium is better not much into it though.
Ganjdroid, i was going through your Miui post. it's not that simple to get them working you know? i wish if some one can incorporate those files in a ROM and make it as a ready made dish Ginger without MIUI is like nothing but Froyo.
Sorry but there just isnt any need for this guide really. The overcome one isnt complicated at all and you can just skip past backup up upps section if you need to.
Plus you have no need to use heimdall and then Odin, you can just use Odin.
You also say to use a specific modem file but dont explain what version of tab that file is for, somebody may be using this "guide" that doesnt want/need that file.
If you want to successfully and accurately flash to GB stock or Overcom custom you should follow the proper guide in the Overcome thread.

The reason behind this post was, i shared what iv'e experienced and there are many who could not successfully port through Odin even i faced a problem with one of the tab. i feel Heimdall for flashing Stock ROM's is more friendly then Odin.

Hi,
For those who have flashed the JQ1 successfully using Odin3 v1.70, can you please advise the full procedure/config for an Android noob?
Understand that it should be:

- Shall I click "phone bootloader Update"?
- Pit: gt-p1000_mr.pit provided by Chainfire in the JQ1 Thread.
- PDA: P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar
- Phone: Pls advise how to use the JPZ-Modem.zip on the first post.
Edit: found the how to for the modem
- CSC: ¿?
Thanks and pls bear with me.

well, i use heimdall only for stock ROM's for rest i mean for Custom Rom's they made Clockwork.
partition check and un check play's important role also. people just ignore it sometimes while flashing Kernel's with Odin.

this is simple and for all those who think their tab/phone do not connect to Odin.
plug in your usb to the pc. go to device manager. uninstall the samsung driver which is already there. refresh the drivers or unplug and replug the usb cable. will search for the driver and install it again. there u r connected to the ODIN.
have a nice day!

How to Flash Android 4.0.4 Firmware for Galaxy Note GT N7000
This Tutorial is Divided into 4 Parts:
1) People who are running Gingerbread who are not affected by the eMMC bug
2) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who dont have the eMMC bug
3) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who have the eMMC bug
4) People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region.(Currently Only Germany, Malasia, Singapore and South Africa)
Please Find Your Respective Section in the tutorial below!
For Current Gingerbread Users
Since Gingerbread is safe from the eMMC superbrick bug, you can directly go ahead and do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe either from settings>privacy>factory reset OR via stock recovery. After the factory reset/wipe, you need to download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:
• A “.md5” file
• A “.dll” file
Unextract both to folder/desktop. Now you need to download ODIN and samsung drivers if you do not have them. For ODIN just download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
For drivers just download & install the samsung kies from here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
After installing Kies you will have the drivers installed.(you may need restart for drivers to work) Then you will need to put your phone in download mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button) and then press volume up to continue to enter the download mode. Then connect your Galaxy Note to PC using MicroUSB cable and open ODIN. In ODIN make sure that the box has turned yellow for this to work. If it does not then there is problem with the drives. You then need to select the PDA button and navigate to the ".md5" file that you unextracted and select it. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" & "F. Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who DON’T have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device does not have the brick bug then simply factory reset it via settings and then you can download the Android download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:

Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device has the brick bug then you cannot do a factory reset and directly install the new 4.0.4 firmware. You will first need to downgrade to a Gingerbread Firmware, then do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe and then reflash the Android 4.0.4 firmware. So the first thing you need to do is download the Gingerbread Firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=1#regiona
(You will need to signup to download)
For Samsung Kies with drivers:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
For ODIN:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
After you have downloaded the zip file, unextract it and then flash the “.md5” in the PDA section of ODIN.
After flash you will have Gingerbread. In Gingerbread you have to do a wipe & clear cashe from the stock recovery(Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button). After the wipe, you need to download the Android 4.0.4 Firmware from here:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:

Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region
For all users who have the Android 4.0.4 Firmware update released for their region (14/07/12 - Germany, Singapore and Malasia) can also use OTA , via Samsung Kies to update their phones. Just go into the settings>About Phone>Software Update to check for the update OR another method is to connect your Galaxy Note to the PC. Open Samsung Kies and check for the firmware update. If the update is available it should automatically ask you if you want to update. Confirm the update and it will do the flash automaticly and keep all your data as well.

Why wipe at all when upgrading form stock f/w?

Very good initiative from you as I'm sure many NEW users will find it useful! Maybe you could also add the definition of the EMMC bug on the 1st line to explain it to them.

hey man from the post there i see that you have the cm9 kernel installed over the stock Gingerbread ROM(Correct me if im wrong)!
So as far as i know you will fall under the first category because the eMMC_ERASE function has been disabled in the cm9 knightlies kernel. But just download chainfires app called "gotbrick?" to check if you have the bug. If you dont have the bug thenyou can do a wipe from any ROM/kernel and directly flash the new firmware.
And yes you will get SNote and the Touchwiz with the new firmware preinstalled.

Thnx for reply. I am not too experienced, but i think yes, i have CM9 installed over stock GB. So i am runing ICS, but first category goes for GB, does it realy is my case? I have checked gotbrick app and it said that i have that nasty bug. But i have still done some factory resets and wipes and so far so good, as i understand that because of safe kernel. So i am still in danger but in kernel the use of mmc has been disabled, if i follow the guide isnt the 3d category safer? Because its careful about brickbug?
sorry I'm wrong post

You then need to select the PDA button and navigate to the ".md5" file that you unextracted and select it. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" & "F. Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.

What do you mean by 4.0.4 international? Also I think this is slightly OT, better ask in the main 4.0.4 open Germany thread.

As I understand, you have to be rooted to flash a ROM from GB to any other ROM using Odin, but your tutorial doesn't mention the need to be rooted. Am I mistaken?
Criskelo ICS LQ3 v8, LPT Modem, speedmod 3-7 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)
I'm at the 3rd section...but why flash gb rom??? You only need flash abyss kernel and do the wipes, and then continue to flash 4.0.4
Am i right or not?

thats kinda wierd man! performance seems to have improved for me. cant really say if something went wrong!!! but if you want to go back to your 4.0.3 firmware then you can easily flash the 4.0.3 firmware via ODIN. To get the 4.0.3 fimrmware goto: www.samfirmware.com>firmwares>smartphones>android>GT N7000>(ur region)> and download the firmware for your region/country.
After download just unextract the .md5 file and flash via ODIN.
Does it have the same interface as Samsung Galaxy SIII ICS 4.0.4? I have done the upgrade but not much features change except the pop-up play..thats all .What a letdown!
Everybody's gotta start somewhere. This is the guide on how to install the stock leaked 4.1.2 JB ROM for the Galaxy S2 I9100.
1. You'll need the following files:
Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703998
The Samsung USB Drivers:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-for-Mobile-Phones-15150.shtml
And last but not least, the files to flash:
Torrent: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:9C907CAFC986005720D2A038A49350 AA948542BB&dn=4.1.2%20JB&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.cc c.de%3a80%2fannounce
Download all the files and move all of them to a folder to avoid confusion.
2. Install the USB drivers unless you already got them installed.
3. You will only need the following files, you may delete the other files to avoid any possible confusion:
CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.part1.rar
CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.part2.rar
CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar.md5
Odin3_v3.04.zip
4. Now extract Odin to the folder where you got your files.
5. Moving on, extract "CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.part1.rar". This process will extract "CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.md5" from both the part1 and part2 archives to your folder.
6. Remove the MD5 extension from the following files:
CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar.md5
CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.rar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar.md5
7. Put your phone in download mode and plug in your USB-cable. (turn of your phone, then press and hold the volume-down, home and power).
8. Now run Odin as administrator (Odin3 v3.04.exe). One of the rectangular boxes under ID:COM should be yellow now which means your device is ready to be flashed.
9. Make sure Re-Partition is unchecked, Auto Reboot is checked, F. Reset Time is checked, and Flash Lock is unchecked.
10.
Press "PDA" and select the "CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar file".
Press "Phone" and select the MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar file".
Press "CSC" and select the CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar file".
11. Hit the ‘Start’ button. Now pray to the smartphone gods and wait patiently for the process to finish. Do not unplug your phone, unless you want to brick it. You may close Odin when your phone is rebooting.
Enjoy your update.

Thanks for this TUT! But is this the Original Firmware from Samsung? Would it work on our local version of i9100 (Philippines) or just for international version?

Hi,
I had used the Odin Mobile and the original UK JB 4.1.2 from SamFirmware, and I preserved the root.
All what I need to reinstall was the CWM.
Working excelent from almost a month.

Can it get better than this??
Does it requires rooting?
am new to this, just want to confirm if device requires a root before following the steps. or i can simply go ahead and install JB rom on top of my stock ICS rom ?

Hi guys! This is a noob-proof guide on how to flash stock samsung firmware on your i9300. Whether you have bricked it or just want the stock firmware back. Here's how to do it (detailed explaination)
WARNING! : This is only for the GT i9300 (international version) , Check your device before proceeding. Also you might lose all your data. So backup! i am not responsible if you brick your phone(although very unlikely) by not following the guide properly
Also you will lose your custom recovery, Custom ROM and will not longer have root
Ok lets begin!
1. Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed on your pc (http://bit.ly/SDaIIE)
2. Your device should have at least 80% battery left
3. Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Developer Options>Tick the Usb debugging tick box!
Files needed :
1. Android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMC3 for Galaxy S3 I9300 - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202240205/4dcf384/I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE.zip.html
2. Odin 3.07 - http://bit.ly/16aRzF4
Extract The firmware Zip file until you get a file with a .tar extension and some other files. Do not extract furthur
Extract odin zip file till you get Odin3 v3.07.exe
Now here comes the actual flashing part
1. Power off your smartphone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
2. Now, get into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power button simultaneously until Samsung Galaxy logo appears in phone screen. Wait few seconds and your phone will be in download mode.
3.Open odin as administrator and connect your s3 to your computer with usb cable
4. You will get a message "Added" in the message box in odin and You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
if you don't get this , try another usb port.. if it still doesn't come , reinstall drivers.
5. Select these files from I9300XXEMC3 folder in Odin at respective buttons:
Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar.md5 file here with *code* appearing in its name
Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting , otherwise ignore it.
6. make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file
7. Double check everything above and hit start!
8. once flashing is complete the phone will reboot automatically and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
After completing these steps, Make sure to wipe the cache and do a factory reset in clockworkmod recovery if you do happen to find yourself in a bootloop (phone rebooting continuously) Or just do it anyways to prevent a bootloop from occurring.
congrats! , you have just restored your i9300!

Yes and no... You must reformat partitions and upload an ICS bootloader. Not for the regular user i'm afraid

This normally happens when the partitions on the embedded multi media card gets corrupted for whatever reason, also known as the emmc.
The phone can be revived by flashing a pit file to repartition the emmc in order so it can be written to.
Download and unzip this file and you will have a .pit file which you put in the tab marked PIT in Odin
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
(Just google the one that you need and download it)
Next make sure > r partition, f /reset, and auto reboot are ticked in options in Odin.
Next put the stock rom in the tab marked PDA, if flashing a custom rom then flash a rooted kernel first in PDA together with the pit file, hit start and start the flashing process, afterwards this will also give you the option of flashing the rom from recovery, next, flash the custom rom from Odin or from recovery
When finished the phone should reboot and start up.

If it is an official ROM package, it shouldn't trigger yellow triangle.
Even in that case, you can use Triangle Away app from Chainfire and see how it comes to zero

Hi all,
I had rooted my note 4 and have TWRP installed a while ago. Been using my phone for ages without installing custom ROMS, but recently it's been restarting every once in a while.
So I went into recovery mode and factory data reset my device to start fresh (of course backing up all my data with Tit Backup beforehand).
But me being the cleverclogs went into Wipe -> Advanced Wipe and selected all the boxes thinking it will do a proper cleanout (Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache, Micro SDCard). But when I try to reboot it there's a msg saying "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to power off?". When restarting the phone it just goes back to TWRP!
It's on it's last legs already but still it's my main phone. How can I install the stock ROM or I might even try custom ROMS (any recommendations?). I haven't installed a custom ROM since the S3 days so I'm a complete noob agian.
Thanks for your help.
Copy a ROM on your MicroSD using a card reader and insert it on the phone or restore using Kies.

How do I use TWRP to install it?
Is there any links to Note 4 latest stock ROM (Marshmallow I believe).

You can try a Note 7 port,you can choose Racerom or Enhanced rom (if you have N910F model, for others models i don't know)...personally i have racerom v9 installed.
You just need to copy it to your internal memory flasht it, reboot to download mode and install the latest bootloader and modem with Odin, reboot and it's done....you need to search it for BL and modem here on XDA, it's not difficult.
If you choose to install a stock rom, remember you'll loose TWRP and root, everything it's replaced. Yo need to use Odin too.
Nothing to worry about bro. This forum will get your phone all set up and working.
At this point you have two choices
1. Flash stock samsung firmware (download the ***correct one*** according to you phone's model no from https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/. Flash it using Odin. Look up the procedure to flash firmware on note 4 using Odin. Its pretty straightforward. (Make sure you do NOT select the PIT section. Dont ask what it is, just remember its the most risky section and could permanently brick your phone... It is marked properly in the Odin tool so the chances of mistakes are very low)
Note that after flashing a custom ROM you will lose your Root and TWRP. (You can get both back later anyways.)
2. Flash a custom rom using your existing TWRP recovery. If you have samsung note 4 android drivers installed on your pc, then as soon as you boot into TWRP, you can just connect the phone to the PC via a cable and access its internal storage from there. Download one of the countless good samsung note 4 roms (again, check your phone model before you download) from this forum. Copy it to internal storage. If needed, download OpenGApps package and copy it to the internal storage as well. Then using TWRP, *install* the Rom package. Remember, the Rom takes 7-10 minutes to boot up after install so dont worry. Also you phone might heat up in this while. If it gets too hot, then maybe something is wrong... remove the battery and let it cool down. Then figure out if you have the right rom or not. Else download another Rom.
Once you have access to the storage, you could choose to install any of the custom ROMS available
Remember, there are many variants of the note 4 sold across different geographical locations. Before you download any firmware/rom, be sure to check if it matches the phone you have. Read through the Rom threads carefully. if needed, ask questions.
You'll be up and running very soon.
All the best!

Sorry to answer your question with a question but why if you have twrp installed on your phone would you even mess with Titanium Backup?..also always keep a copy of a twrp backup on a extra SDCard of thumb drive...twrp in my opinion is the best thing available for backup and restore over Tit Backup or Samsung kias..spelled the wrong
Just so you know, you no longer have a titanium backup of your phone , unless you backed up online....
That went when you formatted the sd card so it will be a total restock.
In case you didn't realise...

Download one of the countless good samsung note 4 roms (again, check your phone model before you download) from this forum. Copy it to internal storage. If needed, download OpenGApps package and copy it to the internal storage as well. Then using TWRP, *install* the Rom package. Remember, the Rom takes 7-10 minutes to boot up after install so dont worry. Also you phone might heat up in this while. If it gets too hot, then maybe something is wrong... remove the battery and let it cool down. Then figure out if you have the right rom or not. Else download another Rom.
Once you have access to the storage, you could choose to install any of the custom ROMS available
Remember, there are many variants of the note 4 sold across different geographical locations. Before you download any firmware/rom, be sure to check if it matches the phone you have. Read through the Rom threads carefully. if needed, ask questions.
You'll be up and running very soon.
All the best!

Went to the website and downloading this one https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910F/VOD/download/N910FXXS1DQE5/169965/ (Seems my Note 4 is SM-N910F according to an earlier post I made). It's about 2 gigs.
Will follow the instructions at the bottom of that page to install it.

Sorry to answer your question with a question but why if you have twrp installed on your phone would you even mess with Titanium Backup?..also always keep a copy of a twrp backup on a extra SDCard of thumb drive...twrp in my opinion is the best thing available for backup and restore over Tit Backup or Samsung kias..spelled the wrong

With Titanium Backup I was able to backup only certain apps, not sure if you can do it with TWRP.

Just so you know, you no longer have a titanium backup of your phone , unless you backed up online....
That went when you formatted the sd card so it will be a total restock.
In case you didn't realise...

I did copy my Tit backups to my PC before formatting it
I didnt take the time to read the post above but if you saved your backups on a PC I hope you're talking about your twrp back ups... if so transfer them onto an SD card put it in your phone and restore through team win you're good to go.... as far as a custom ROM for your phone as you probably already know all ROMs are just a preference no ROM is better than the other however my two favorite ROMs for this phone which I am back to lollipop would be Maximum Overdrive and the one I'm running now ...TEKXous hibrid n4... and I've basically installed every single custom ROM available for the T-Mobile Note 4 on marshmallow and on lollipop
Well after I downloaded the firmware and installed it with Odin following this guide:
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.12.7
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v3.12.7
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
I get this error in Odin:
https://ibb.co/gVrsdF
https://ibb.co/hmREsa
Now when I try turn my phone on in Recovery mode or try to start normally I get a black screen, in the top left:

Do you have the correct device drivers? They're needed in order to Odin recognize your phone.
Also, you need to delete the ".md5" extension, it only end in tar extension
Or you can try another Odin version...i'm using Odin 3.10.7
its realy realy hard to brick a samsung phone^^
might be the usb cable. also may need to get the pit file and try with a NAND ERASE ALL & repartition. BE SURE AND PUT THE PIT FILE ON CSC
So while I'm No Odin expert, I think that this Odin flashing process has many dependencies.
People have encountered wierd errors with Odin and they were resolved even when the person just chose to use an original Cable (or another) Cable.
samsung drivers are very very crucial. I think you may be able to find them by searching for Galaxy note 4 Odin drivers (they basically come with Kies I think but not sure)
also very important to have kies turned OFF while you're flashing through Odin
make sure you have at least 80percent or more battery when you flash.
theres also some other stuff you need to be careful of that you should look up on Google.
there's a thread on Odin flash troubleshooting on xda...icant remember the name but you should be able to just Google it.
also Google for the exact error message you seen on Odin.. remember there are bound to be other users who have seen the same issue... so you may be able to find a solution via google
And most importantly don't worry, you'll be good soon.
edit: As far as possible don't mess with the Pit files. they're very risky if you don't know what you're doing .

Thanks, deleting the ".md5" extension was part of the problem!

I googled the error msg looked like I needed a PIT file since the Note 4 is 32GB. I also used an earlier version of ODIN and redownloaded the firmware (not branded)...and after a few goes it worked!
I'm back on stock firmware.
Thanks everyone! :good:
