[Q] Help. N9005 Odin: Invalid ext4 Image - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, please help me with this.
I have N9005 Hongkong TGY stock rom.
I got United Kingdom BTU AP .md5 and CSC files, Odin them to my phone.
Then it came up with the error message Odin: Invalid ext4 Image.
I am downloading the stock rom from SamMobile at the moment, but will it help? (with only 1 .md5 AP file?)
Please help.

im stuck on the same situation...
would appreciate it if anyone could point us in the right direction
thanks

i got the exact same problem and now cant find any fix for it. funny before everyone says it is ok to flash other region firmware.
the only way i found is to make it boot is to use auto root. but this disable wifi and camera and it took very long to load the phone keypad and cannot answer the calls

I have the same problem, i try to flash the j6 update from united kingdom over the j8 update from hong kong, please help me!!!

I have the exact same problem.
Have the Singapore ROM, and tried to flash the Hong Kong ROM, but its showing Invalid ext4 image.
I can't even turn the phone on now!
Need help :crying:

Do you get any error in the note3 screen while doing the update via Odin?
Something in red like fused 2>1?
It might well be that you cannot downgrade the bootloader ie going from mj8 to mj6 (or anything lower than mj8).

flash twrp via odin, and than flash the ROM or try CF Auto Root - it helped me to get out of TWRP boot loop

Five years to late with your reply .

Solution for soft-bricked N9005 after flashing Hong Kong's TGY firmware

I am posting this to help people who ran across the same problem I did the past 24 hours, which drove me crazy and it was quite difficult to find any info on it.
I bought my N9005 on eBay from a Hong Kong seller. I just updated it with Kies and noticed that sammobile.com has a newer MJ8 firmware, so I figured I'd just download it and flash it via Odin.
Kies shows my mobile as XME (Malaysia region), but I guessed it should work just fine, and boy was I wrong.
Moments after trying to flash it, it failed, but it did manage to flash the beginning of the firmware, which was the new MJ bootloader. That newer bootloader does not allow any other firmware with older bootloader be flashed on the phone. Not even Kies's emergency recovery was able to revive my phone which was stuck in emergency download mode.
When trying to flash I got all sorts of errors, such as:
invalid ext4 image
and
CHECK FAIL : fused : 2 , Binary : 1. (when trying to install the older XME Malaysian Firmware on top of the new bootloader)
To make a very long story short, after almost giving up and start waiting for a Malaysian firmware with the new bootloader to be released, I ran across the UK MJ6 BTU rom which does have the new bootloader too and decided to try flashing it. To my amazement - this worked and my phone is back to life! phewwwww!
This is a download link to the BTU MJ6 firmware:

my brick story in short is------ brought note 3 sm-n9005 from ebay from a Hong Kong based seller. pics of ap, cp and csc are attached. rooted with chainfire's and installed cwm6 by chenglu. A few days back, flashed bobcat rom version 2(mj7) and later 3( mk2 ) without problems. Was looking for different themes .yesterday flashed balckchrome from s4 forum that also went smooth. Unfortunatly flashed another theme for s4 which was not meant for andriod version 4.3. Pretty stupid .went into bootloop. Had nandroid backup tried to restore but couldn't.
Flashed another rom mk2 from cwm. again bootloop .took the odin route and flashed stock deodesk mj7 by Djembey from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2461929
Failed again. Then downloaded latest mk2 from sammobile website. The same error (invalid ext4 img) in short failed on all ccounts. Have run out of options. The last thing in mind is to wait for some new bootloader after mk2 which might rescue me as mentioned in this thread that new bootloaders might help... Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks
@pyarajaani
Try this:
1) Get X-Note v6 custom rom.
2) Use Odin to install CWM recovery.
3) boot the phone into CWM recovery and copy the X-NOTE rom (MK2 based) to your phone or card.
4) Do a complete wipe/factory-reset from CWM
5) Install the X-NOTE rom from CWM
And let me know how it went

Why did you suggest X-Note but not another ROM?
3 reasons:
- It's MK2 based
- I am using it
- It's excellent
And besides, if the method I suggested works, he can always replace a ROM later on if he wishes.

Nope, I didnt mean what is the best rom to use.
The problem is that how to bypass the bootloop issue.

yes...I did that n installed X note rom from cwm. BUT I suspect that cwm is not fully functional. Why I m saying this is that I have a nandroid backup of bobcat mj7 rom...which cwm isn't able to detect even. ..nevertheless. .cwm is installed.
1) Which CWM version do you have installed?
2) Did you do a full wipe/factory-reset?
3) Did you try also advanced formatting (of system partition together with the full wipe) and then install the ROM?
4) Did you try all the above with the latest TWRP recovery instead of CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467255
Try to flash this file by cwm first and then flash any rom after you want

[Q] Bricked after NE6 bootloader flash

hey guys,
i tried the new rom by civato, for this i flashed the NE6 bootloader. the rom didn't work as expected (no data) so i tried to restore the stock rom NB7 via odin.
odin said succes, but the phone did not boot. i flashed cwm and flashed som roms from there, but i always got a freeze/bootloop, even after factory reset.
so i tried a full new flash with nand erase all. flash succeded, but i could not boot.
then i downloaded the N9005ZHUENE6 firmware from hongkong and tried to flash it, but odin always fails. now i get the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." message and can't do anything with the phone anymore.
Can you please help me?
thank you in advance!
edit: problem solved, the NE4 pit file from sajjjjjjad did the job!

Head over to the HK thread(s) and see how to restore back to normal with Hong Kong variants it's a little different (you do have a HK version I assume? and not just risked an HK FW flash?)--- You can flash via ODIN again even with that error on the device.

Is there a difference between the international N9005 and the HK variant? my N9005 is from germany. i flashed the german firmware again and the error is gone, but the device is still in the bootloop..

Very slightly yes. More to do with some HK Software issues, that's the only N9005 firmware which shouldn't/can't be flashed on every device model N9005 - regarding your bootlooping.
Grab a PIT file, sort out what firmware you use and match them, then flash via Odin, there are a few guides and it's pretty straightforward, however you need to read properly or you risk a hard-brick.

I flashed the latest DBT firmware a couple of times, with a PIT file and without, with full nand erase and without. Odin always says passed but i get no boot sound and the device gets stuck at the boot animation.
I think the problem could be the NE6 bootloader i flashed, but if i flash the NE6 again after i flashed the NB7 firmware it doesn't boot either. Is it possible to downgrade the bootloader to another KitKat firmware?

thanks for the tip, do you have a source for the NE5? i can't find a download for this.
You can use www.sammobile.com/firmwares.
Make sure you have the correct pit file as you changed it to the hk version before

on this site i can't find a NE5 version. i flashed the ND6, device didn't boot.
so i tried to flash cwm, worked fine. then i was able to install and boot the latest cm11, but the baseband, min, prl-version, meid, imei and iccid are shown as unknown. so i tried to restore the efs backup i made via terminal emulator, it looks like it worked but when i reboot nothing changed.
any other ideas?

Hong Kong ROMs are for 16 GB devices, your phone might be 32GB.
If that is so, download another region ROM and flash that one.

ok. stay calm. That's the 1st rule
I believe I can't ask you to check your about device, since you are stuck at ODIN mode already.
From what you are saying you are on latest Germany firmware, if I'm not wrong it should be ND3 Kitkat.
Did you try to root using the correct file of CF-Autoroot ? I mean did you use the correct file for the Kitkat N9005 version ?
Since now you are left with no other choice, I suggest you to download the same firmware of ND3 - DBT version again (if you still want to stick with germany firmware).
But if you want the latest one, you can try Singapore XSP NE4 (I'm not sure, but some users reported the NE4 XSP is not so good in dealing with GPS).
It's up to your choice mate. But if you are worry too much, you can just grab the ND3 - DBT (I'm not sure the germany this one still need the .PIT file or not), or any other Europe firmwares (try not to grab the provider branded firmware)
You can find this on samfirmware.com
Once you get already, you can use ODIN v.3.0.9 to flash.
Let it boot... if you stuck at the N9005 logo, power it off (or take out battery for few secs and put it back), and then press vol up + home + power to go into stock recovery, and then choose factory reset and wipe cache, and then reboot.
Btw,
Reason why you are not able to flash the firmwares you are listed above, is because you are on Germany last built (ND3) with the ND bootloader. It is not possible for you to flash earlier firmware with earlier bootloader.
Hope you understand my long explanation
feel free to PM me if you need more help.
cheers.
