Potential critical error when doing rooting please help - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello there! I was using this tutorial:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsKvFaPdm5s
and I encountered an error:

the program ran for a good 5 seconds and then I was met with that error, my phone looks like this:

so it appears that it may have something to do with...my...Cache? I'm not really sure that would really mean, though.
Help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

flash the PIT file for whichever update you are on, and then you'll be good to go!

Hmm alright, I downloaded Official VRUBMI9 4.3, and yet when I click on PIT in Odin, I get nothing
in other words, in your instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380
it says "Step 5: Click on the Pit function of Odin and select Pit file you downloaded in Step:2."
The problem with that, is that when I click on Pit, I get nothing, here's a picture of what I'm talking about: http://i.imgur.com/gJ2O0iu.png?1
So even though I downloaded Official VRUBMI9 4.3, I get no options for anything, when I click on Pit
Know what's going on here?

You want the file from this link
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880936457
its not zipped, so wherever you download it to is where you navigate to from the PIT button..
And youre most likely using the wrong odin file you should be using MJ7. You get the secure cache check fail from trying to flash MI9 over top the new firmware (ie when you tried the de la vega it is MI9 firmware only Kingo works with MJ7)

okay so there's your link, but what about VRUBMJ7 4.3? I'm downloading that now....Do I use your link you just linked me, as well as VRUBMJ7 4.3?

You can use the .pit alone to see if that will unbrick it or use both to return it to stock MJ7 file is linked in that thread http://downloads.crackflasher.com/?dir=Devs/Hashcode0f/note3/hltevzw

[Q] Broken phone - cant figure out how to fix!

Hey fellas. I have to take my hat off to all of those who have done some great work for the VZW Note 3.. Well to my issue now.
I tried to step back to the original release from the MJ7 (I havent read you cant do that yet but I think I figured out why you shouldn't). I wanted to deox, root and safestrap the MJ7 release and I thought this would be the only way how.
Anyways now I am stuck at the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant and try again" screen. I have tried to download the stock release from six different sources, all corrupt (one site, six different mirrors) and obviously failed.
Any suggestions? I need to go to work soon and my phone is very useful at work....
Thanks
What worked for me was booting to recovery and wiping data..

Every time I try and download the stock files (the one before MJ7) all I get is corrupt files. Takes about 20 minutes per file and I hvae done it at least 6 times now... so I have been at this a while.
And that stupid spam thing every time I want to post is driving me insane, literally!

YES! I finally got it after 4 hours of working on it. Had to re partition it.

Not sure of your exact situation, but you cannot flash MI9 back after going to MJ7. You will need the full MJ7 Odin file and most probably the pit file too.

SM-N9005 Kitkat 4.4.3 failed

After updating my phone to the new firmware N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO.zip my phone failed to flash using Odin. I have tried so many version of Odin and still no luck, i have basically downloaded every rom that i can find from samsung-updates.com and still no luck. Let me know if you guys have a for fix for this because as of right now i can boot into Odin Mode but when i try to flash it via Odin 3.09 on any Rom it will fail. And yes i have tried every Samsung Kies version to try initialize this phone but it just does not work. i have attached the image of my S/N and Model this is one of the HK version and yes i tried the HK TGY rom and still no luck.

Well if you can still get into download mode you are still safe.
Does it fail mid flash or can´t even recognize your phone?
Reboot your pc and try again.
It will fail on the ABOOT, and i have tried to reboot my pc and still no luck i have attached my model of the phone

Try this guide. It seems to be the same phone as yours.
If you are trying to go back to 4.3 from 4.4.2 then it won't be possible. You will now have to stay in KitKat only and wait for more ROM for KitKat.

Did you try flashing with update bootloader ticked? If you tried that already then I think you are going to have to wait for the hk version of kit Kat for your phone to work again.
Or try this..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=null

Hmm.
Weird.
Do you know how to use heimdall?
Use it to have a look at your pit file and compare it to the one in the CSC zip. See what all is different.
Or just post your pit here.
EDIT: Just noticed that you have a 16GB version. I don't know how to help you there, man. You need a completely different pit file. One that is designed for 16GB. But since that model was only launched in Hong Kong, I don't think you will find one from outside, unless somebody can make one specifically for you. I have been trying to learn to do that, but as of yet, I can't.
Without a proper pit file, your only options are either wait for the Hong Kong Kitkat version or try installing the Sweet ROM.

're using Odin with Note 3 connected to a USB 3.0? if yes, try connecting it to a USB 2.0. already happened to me a few times, and the solution was this. sorry for the bad english.

Well thats an issue because im not sure if this my right PIT FILE for this phone. Because usually it will go smoothly for these manual updates using Odin and this is my first encountering this error. And my fault i didnt backup my ROM which i should have done first before getting excited with this KitKat for my Note 3. That CSC file i got that from this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613374 and just followed instructions on how to do it, but it will just give me that error when i try to apply that method. But here's the PIT file that i got from that download.
I think its on a wrong region because i got that leaked update here http://www.sammobile.com/2014/01/13...kitkat-rolling-out-to-galaxy-note-3-sm-n9005/ and it looks like from Poland? does that matter? because my Note 3 is and HK version?
I have done so many phones rooted them and install custom roms this is the first time it failed on me. And funny thing is its my own cell phone lol

You gave me the pit file from the zip. I was asking for the one from your phone.
But anyway I found one for the 16GB version somehwere. I am taking a look at it. Will try editing it to fit your needs. Give me a little while.
And yes, it matters, because the pit file determines the sizes of the various partitions. Since yours is a 16GB version, the pit from a 32GB won't work.
View attachment Modded_16GB.tar
Try flashing this tar file. Put it in the CSC part of the Odin.
Though I can't guarantee anything. First time, I am doing anything like this.

Download checksum tool from here http://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Checksum-Utility/3000-2092_4-10911445.html its free. Then you find the md5 number on the site you downloaded from and use the tool to compare the numbers, typically you navigate to the directory the file is in (this gives you the md5 number, then you copy paste the md5 number from the site, then click the compare button, if they don't match your download is not good and should download again and repeat the checksum.

I haven't extracted the file but if you get all those files do what the pic shows. I thought it would be just one tar file but as I said,I haven't used it before

[Q] root for sm-t537v

First sorry if this has been asked the forum is rather large and sifting thru all the posts is a bit tedious. Is there a root out for the t537v module of the galaxy tab 4?
Thanks in advance

Did you try towelroot?
Also don't keep saying what I quoted you on. Someone less nice than me is going to jump down your throat for it lol

Hi ,
I think you have latest build now (4.4.4) , yes ? If yes , you must to try to flash via Odin older firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/34971/T537VVRU1ANE2_T537VVZW1ANE2_VZW/ from any source . Before flashing you must to do factory reset . Then to try Towelroot . Perhaps you must to try like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58501194&postcount=245 . Then freeze or delete update service . If all will be fail , flash your last firmware again (for return back) .
Remember , you lost data when do factory reset .
You not afraid nothing .

That's the archive I'm using. I don't think I'm using Odin right.

Still getting above mentioned error on my device after i start the flash and it fails. Alas it appears i shall have to wait until someone figures out how to root the newest firmware.

So , good guide . Follow him . Unfortunately install this firmware does not work.
You dont try flash only older kernel like PDA via Odin ?
I also tried to flash using odin 3.07 and the PDA option but it fails.
Thanks again for all the help

And why exactly shouldn't they try that? That's exactly what they're doing here I even contacted the moderator to verify that. Plus I used that method to re-root after I had to Odin back to complete factory stock. I don't see what the problem is flashing just an older kernel, rooting using towelroot, and then flashing the most current kernel. That's exactly how my tablet is rooted and was on the most current firmware (OA2) before I flashed Cyanogenmod
