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.

No need to mess with kernels.
Were u able to install cwm via odin and then boot into cwm?

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

Trouble getting KitKat

Hi,
I've just got a Note 3 so not sure of all the ins and outs. I've been reading the forum and worked out it's status is Custom.
I don't think it's rooted, I certainly haven't done it.
Basically I want the Kit Kat update but it tells me I can't update OTA as it's modified and through Kies it says it's up to date which isn't true. I'm on 4.3.
Anyway If I can do the update with Odin I'd be happy but could you help me:
Firstly what version of Odin should I use. I can see a 3.07. It seems old but is that OK ?
Secondly I can't work out what firmware I need to download for it. I have done *#1234# and this is what it tells me the following:
AP: N9005XXUBMJ3
CP: N9005XXUBMJ1
CSC:N9005DBTBMJ3
Any ideas what it is and which I'd need to download for it ? When I got it the phone was set to German by default but I'm not sure if that means it is German or not.
I'd like to use a UK firmware if I can but would that screw the phone up in some way. I've read about KNOX.... not really sure what that's about but it doesn't sound too good if I break it.
Basically any help on what to download and I guess how to use Odin to put it on there would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you
Daniel

any ODIN will do. I used 3.0.9, and flashed well.
You can download any firmware. don't worry. If you wish to use German firmware, there's NB7 - DBT, but this firmware need a pit file to be flashed together with it.
If you want UK, there's also UK version
The latest one, which most of the dev use as a base for custom ROM is NC2 czech. I personally have flashed this stock firmware into some of my friend's Note 3, and run into no trouble with ODIN 3.0.9.
You should try to go into download mode, and see what is written down there. As you said your system status is modified/custom, I believe if you go into download mode, you will find KNOX = 0x1.
I found this state as well on my friend's new N9005 stock 4.3 unrooted. My friend bought an export set for Europe countries (and it happened to be German firmware as well, same as yours)
cheers.

Thanks for the reply. It's good to know it shouldn't hurt whichever I decide to go with.
In terms of where I should get the ROM from. Is http://samsung-updates.com/ the best place to get it ?
Here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005 I see there are some NC2 ones but no Czech one. Would the top one the Philipines one work ?
Also I can't get into Download Mode. It just comes up with android system recovery (3e). Is that a problem ?
Sorry I really haven't a clue with all this.
Thanks

go to here : www.samfirmware.com
login there / sign up if you have no account.
just type ur device on the textbox firmware. you will find the firmware that you want
philipines one should also work. try to find those without the provider carrier (less bloatware)
to go into download mode : power down your device. after that you can power up by using ==> vol down + home + power, once you go in then press vol up to continue.
to go into recovery mode (the one u mentioned above) : power down your device. after that power up using ==> vol up + home + power.

Right just realised what I was doing wrong and got into the Download Mode. It says KNOX Warranty Void 0x1
Does that matter ? I don't need to use the private file storage thing really to be honest.
Can I still flash a ROM OK ?
And again is that one on samsung-updates.com OK ?
Thank you!

to be honest, KNOX flag trip will only affect if you have use the KNOX container earlier before it trip.
But if you never use, it should be fine. It will only a matter of warranty which is the main issue. But since you said you have never done anything to your phone, I believe you have bought it from 3rd party (non samsung store) which claim to be an export set (which come without samsung warranty). This thing happen to 1 of my friend actually which I mentioned on my above posting.
But don't worry, means now you don't need to worry about KNOX trip anymore (unless you want to bring up the issue to whom you bought the phone from, and actually it will be useless as well, as no prove the knox is tripped by the seller).
You can just download any firmware. Go to the site I mentioned earlier (to get the newest) : www.samfirmware.com
get it from there.
OR
you can visit this thread, and get it from the mirror link there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643109
the NC2 is listed at the 1st post on the top part (easy for you to find). My opinion better go to this thread. This thread using mega storage, faster download compare to the at at samfirmware
cheers!

Brilliant! Thank you for all your help I have now flashed it with Odin to 4.4.2. I went for the UK one in the end which might not be the very latest version but I'm happy
Thanks again that's made my day. You're right I don't care about KNOX and couldn't prove anything anyway so I shall carry on and enjoy my nice new KitKat Note 3

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.

What did u do wrong?

i had the same problem a few days back.
i tought i was doomed !!!
listen up, this is what you need to do.
download the stock firmware from sammobile.
get your phone in download mode and hook it up with odin, then install the stock firmware, the good news is: You will not lose your apps, settings or files.
Everything remains the way it is.
in my case (i think) is that i tried to root it with a broken USB cable.
the other tought was that i used CF-Autoroot from chainfires website, it shows that its for android 5.01 while i was on 4.4.
at least, i hope you can use my info, please let me know if it helped for you
When it happened to me, i allmost ****ted myself

listen up, this is what you need to do.
download the stock firmware from sammobile.
get your phone in download mode and hook it up with odin, then install the stock firmware, the good news is: You will not lose your apps, settings or files.
Everything remains the way it is.
in my case (i think) is that i tried to root it with a broken USB cable.
the other tought was that i used CF-Autoroot from chainfires website, it shows that its for android 5.01 while i was on 4.4.
at least, i hope you can use my info, please let me know if it helped for you
When it happened to me, i allmost ****ted myself

Thank you very much Racinghart91 . I have managed to fix the problem with Kies.
The main problem was that Kies was not recognizing my phone model, and I found out that the model as to be inserted in Keis with capital letters. With that Kies have found my correct firmware and I have updated it, and now its all good.
And I have a back up of all, ROM and apps . Now I can try another ROOT, and if it failde I have now all the backups I need.
By the way do you guys know any sucessful ROOT for my Phone, I have the Android version 4.4.4
Model : SM-N910F
SSN : N910FGSMH
Another question, should I wait for the next Android update 5.0, or ROOT my Note 4 befor the update?
I have successfully ROOT my wifes Note 3, and Now its much faster tahn my Note 4, in Apps, games all, damn how is that possible ?
Thanks once again.

Hello 2 all !

I reflash many time with diffrent roms versions (only kk 4 4 2 from sammobile) the probl is the same on every rom i flash !!
I think is releate with KNOX crap but im not sure ,The only way to have wifi on kitkat again is to flash another kernel after i flash the stock rom !!! I really need help with that because i need some stock version for daily use.
I try kies ....same results.... i try odin..same results ...wifi dont start ! I delete wpa_supplicant from data/misc/wifi ..nothing.... no wifi !

I do not think I missed the point. Your original post only mentions KK but not LP which is why I suggested LP. The last line of your original post even states the ROM in use on the phone.

I reflash many time bot not working again...so i decide to reflash diffrent version of stocks rom....Kitkat and Lolipop... and with no succes because that erorre is still present and wifi is still stuck on any rom i flash! I

No worries. Thank you for clarifying the situation. Your English is fine.
I don't know which version of Odin you are using but I always use Odin 3.07 because I have never had a problem with 3.07.
Do you have a pit file for your phone? Flashing the pit file with the stock ROM in Odin might solve the problem.

This is coz KNOX blocked the wifi access.
SOLUTION:
1. Flash via ODIN the latest android 4.4.2 version to your device: THIS ONE.
2. Root it via ODIN with CF-Autoroot.
3. Using Root Explorer (for example) delete all the KNOX entries: GUIDE.
4. Reboot your device. You should have wifi now. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset your flash counter to complete the job. Done.

Install this APP and add screenshots pls.

You mentioned that you tried kies in your post but Kies didn't support your phone. It could be that the updated ROM is supported in Samsung's smart switch.
