[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered error - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im new here sorry if posted in wrong section
I tryed rooting my Samsung Galaxy Note
I followed every step and unfortunantly after 40 seconds of pressing start I recieved on Odin a red Fail box
Odin looked like it had finished what it was doing even though it failed, so I pressed exit and disconnected the phone.
when I switched the phone back on I got this message
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
So I connected to Kies but the phone wont connect. I tryed the recovery but ive never used Kies before so there was no files to recover.
I tryed firmware and initialisation by putting my model and seriel number in but there was nothing found for Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I dont want to go any further as im not sure what im doing now and ive stopped researching as im nit sure what websites to trust or able to find a correct answer to my issue.
My phones a
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
SM N900
Android Jelly Bean 4.3
United kingdom
(Not sure of other details I cant get into phone to look)
I thought I would come her as my friend recommended the site. I need help on how to make my phone work again.
I can still boot in download mode but I cant connect to computer but I havent tryed to connect to Odin.
ive rooted 5 of my other phones and tablets in the past and never had an issue, so this is new to me
Any fix I am happy with weather its a root fix or back to normal fix I just want my phone working again.
I definantly wont be rooting again im worrying my phone wont work at all now
thank you for any help!

On my screen I have
ODIN MODE (in red)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N9005
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0
(In gray)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S2, T2, A2, A2, P2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
then theres a pic of a phone, yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and a computer
then underneath the firmware upgrade error.

case elovmos
Im not 100% sure if I enabled USB debugging first. Will this cause me a problem?

Yes enable usb debug
To get away from this situation flash stock firmware

I havent fixed the problem but im doing research im one step closer

Mate. .. Get odin 3.09 and download firmware from sammobile.com. Try with the older firmware versions first like MI6 or something. ... If that don't work. .. Flash MJ7 latest firmware(can't go backwards once you Flash this firmware) and will definitely work

[Q] NOTE 3 SM-N9005 KNOX warranty and Software Downgrade\Upgrade

Hi Guys .
i am planning to buy a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Snapdragon S800 Version but i have some questions .
First i dont care about warranty so i dont have any problem with KNOX Void Warranty 0×1.
i read that "It isn’t possible to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmwares/bootloaders (An attempt sets 0×1) (even though some people state, downgrade is possible when omitting the bootloader file in a firmware package). By downgrading from KNOX-enabled to KNOX-disabled firmware, your devices will be locked to installation of newer firmwares."
and ". If you try to downgrade to KNOX-disabled system(MGA for example) your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and will get a special lock – you won’t be able to update to any KNOX-enabled firmware even by ODIN. Samsung’s 4.3 update is KNOX-enabled, so if you tried to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmware(for example MH8->MGA), you won’t be able to install 4.3 update."
so this mean if the The KNOX flag being tripped i wont be able to flash (install) any stock roms (newer builds) .
You can always upgarde no matter what knox warranty says
EDIT: all note 3 firmwares are knox enabled...
I think you took your qutes from a sgs4 forum, where android4.2 is NOT and andoid 4.3 is knox enabled

No Idea, won't hurt you to try downgrade though. At most you'll get a bootloop and reflashing KK will fix it.
Right now im running 4.3 mj4 and works fine. No bootloops ...after downgrade works fine..now i need to find the way of recover my efs file..nvram.nv bak..all those files are missing..no backup.ideas?
I have samsung s4 mini sgh-i257m disguised as gt-i9195 and my Knox is 0x1 sadly, im on 4.2.2 with knox and i am wondering if i can upgrade to 4.4.2 and go back to the same 4.2.2. Basically go back and forth (knox enabled to knox enabled) i want to try 4.4.2 but i want to make sure i can still go back

Samsung keyboard FC

Yesterday I have received my new Note 3 and I really like it, up to now...
Came with MI7, I rooted this build via URDLV. Then I used Mobile Odin Pro (to retain the old bootloader and not trip 0x1) to flash to MJ8. After that, I was unable to use the WiFi, as it tried to turn itself on but couldn't. Figured out that I should flash the corresponding MJ8 modem, did that, but WiFi continued not to work UNTIL I did a factory reset and voila: it worked! But now I have another problem which is far worse, every few seconds I receive a message that "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped"!!
Checking the version (*#1234#) I noticed that I am running both AP and CP as N9005XXUDMJ7 but I am missing CSC! It used to the Open Germany = DBTD. Coupled with the MJ7 that I downloaded (named N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005DBTDMJ4_N9005XXUDMJ7_HOME.tar.md5), there's suppose to be DBTDMJ4 together with it, but I don't see it after flashing. Am I missing something?

Are you sure? I have read at several places, that flashed via stock via ODIN trips it. Isn't that also the reason why everyone uses Mobile Odin to flash to MJ7? If I flash stock MJ7 via Odin, how do I regain root?
Do you have any idea, why I'm missing my CSC and how can I flash it back (without using stock ODIN approach)?
Thanks to Killberty everything is working great now! knox 0x0, latest MJ7 modem and built and root retained:

[Q] Rooted with RDLV, how can I update to latest firmware?

I know ive read this somewhere before but i cant find it now.
Dont i have to create a custom image to flash via odin? An image with the new firmware but old bootloader?
Any pointers would be grateful!
Ive had a look round a few threads. I managed to untick 'Enable superuser' and tick 'Survival mode' in SuperSU.
Then i tried to do OTA but its telling me my system is up to date
OtA And urdlv is a bad idea, otas upgrade the bootloader.
Use mobile odin pro to flash latest stock fw and tick the everroot option

Can't flash Rom anymore...

Hi XDA community,
I'm new to the Android community (Yeah, my previous phone was from Apple), and am currently enjoying trying new ROMs.
I have a international Note 3 SM-N9005 thatt was on 4.3 Android when I flash a CM11 nightly. (With TWRP, last version to date)
After, I tried to flash the Slim W03 v6 and it work very nice.
Here comes the problem.
I wanted to give a shot to other ROMs: X-note and Crash Rom. They installed, I reboot and I got stuck to the "Galaxy Note 3" Boot logo and nothing.
I can get back to my Nandroid Slim W03, but not to the CM11.
From what I read, it seems to be a bootloader version problem... I added up some picture to provide some background.
Is there a tutorial/thread to help me go through this situation?
Cheers to you and thanks for your help!
PAco
First try booting up to recovery and do a factory reset. If still stuck at the samsung splash screen ( give it a little time of at least 5 minutes to see if it's going to go through ), then you're still probably on 4.3 bootloader and you flashed a 4.4-based rom. If this is the case, you either have to update to stock 4.4 then flash custom recovery and root before you can flash 4.4-based roms or stay at 4.3 and you can flash 4.3 based roms.
Thanks. I'll try and see. Cheers mate.

Hi Joe, just for my personal knowledge, do you have a way to display your bootloader version / status (loi locked vs unlocked)? Thanks again
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Don't really know how to display version if your phone doesn't boot up to system but if you put it in download mode, if you have 4.4 bootloader you will see " udc start " at the last line.

Hi, Here is what is displayed when in downloading mode:
Odin MOde
Product Name: SM-N9005
Current binary: Custom
System Satatus: Custom
Reactivation lock: OFF
Know Kernel Lock: 0x0
Know Warrantly void: 0x1
Qualcomm secureboot: enable (CSB)
AP swrev: s2, T2; R2, A2, P2
Write protection: Enable
**LOGO ANDROID**
Downloading...
Do not turn off target
So I guess I still have a 4.3 Bootloader.
Thanks Joe, you really helped!

This is the one you should be using. It has the same name as the one for 4.4 so maybe you're flashing the wrong one?

I found if it stops when flashing cache you pull the battery, go back to download and flash cf-autoroot again, it works...
