Hey guys
I have a Hong Kong Note 3 N9005. Yesterday I flashed the 4.4.2 sammobile update to my phone using ODIN 3.09. I had auto reboot and f.reset ticked. The ROM was put in AP and I hit start. Then I received the error Invalid ext4 Image. Turns out that Hong Kong versions of the N3 cannot install European ROMs. Since then I have not been able to boot my device into android. I just loop into download mode telling me it detected a firmware update. Kies was no help.
The update DID update the bootloader, so now I cannot go back to stock ROM. I have tried a few things. I tried flashing the stock Hong Kong ROM MK1, it fails. So i found a guy that fixed a similar problem buy removing the aboot.mbn file and repacking the ROM. Tried that too and the ROM flashes but it leaves me in a bootloop. Phone turns on says booting recovery then restarts. I also tried cf-root in an effort to flash another ROM still not working. I cannot get into recovery mode no matter what I do.
It seems I have run out of ideas and am reaching out for help.

Hello thanks for replying.
Only problem is I cannot get into cwm or twrp. Any advice on what I can do to try to get CWM or twrp working? I can flash with ODIN. But with the CWM I tried it still just boot loops and does not allow me to get into recovery.
Thank in advanced.

Same Issue here. I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

Got this response from MrAndroid12 in another thread I'd started:
"This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine."
I don't know how to add a .pit file though.
I am certain the bootloops are because it flashed the new bootloader. I think your best option is to wait for a dev like indie to release Omega V7 and try to flash that through Odin.
Or if you can extract the different partitions from the original thread you can try push them one by one with Odin.

It is the bootloader yes. But it NEEDS the bootloader to be able to boot in to KitKat. And there is no downgrading once you've installed the new BL.
Best option is to re-flash via ODIN again and not wait 2 weeks for a Dev to modify a custom ROM...

After flashing 4.3 leak on my I9500 using Odin 3.09, it doesn't boot up as it should, I have wiped data/cache, but to no avail. I even flashed the Russian official 4.3 firmware, but it just doesn't boot up as it should.
When I turn on the phone, the phone stops right after the "Galaxy S4 I9500," screen. I see a black screen right after that.
I tried to downgrade my phone using Odin 3.09, 3.07 and 3.04, but it keeps failing. My S4 shows "unsupported version," when I try to flash stock 4.2.2.
I am guessing this is probably happening because of the newer bootloader, the newer bootloader is making it impossible to downgrade to an older version.

ok try this first use the cf root provided in the cf root thread and then dload the latest 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/14135/Galaxy_S_4_Exynos_Octa/GT-I9500/XFE/I9500XXUBMH1.html from here and flash it see what happens
Solved.
The problem was that I didn't flash the stock rom that came with my phone. I flashed that and my phone was restored to its factory settings. However my imei was messed up, it was showing me 0049. I rooted, flashed twrp recovery and used twrp to restore from a backup and I got my imei back along with my data.
I will wait for 4.3 to become flashable and see how it goes then.

i had this issue on my gs3 , try to move the odin md5 rom file and the odin folder to C: or my documents . maybe one of those directories where u have them right now are too large (odin has issues with long directories)
Hi guys
Sorry this is my first post and it will be a bit long but I've searched everywhere, absolutely everywhere with no luck at all.
So tonight I originally tried to update my MODEM to a Telstra one, and I flashed it via ODIN.
The ODIN flash failed and I stupidly pulled the phone out, and it gave me the dreaded
PHONE-----YELLOW TRIANGLE----- COMPUTER
'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I tried flashing a 4.3 KNOX stock rom later on (I realised it was a big mistake), that failed in ODIN as well
I have also tried re-partitioning with a PIT file as well via ODIN but it doesn't really help
ODIN keeps hanging on the "system" flashing command and goes to a red "fail". It won't start flashing "system.ext4.... etc"
I've tried all versions of ODIN and all version of 4.3
I can't use any 4.2.2 roms as the phone only seems to accept 4.3 stock roms now.
I've also tried KIES, but KIES will not recognise my phone, and ODIN hangs at 'system.ext4...' (can't remember, something similar, definitely said system)
So I have a completely bricked phone now... I can only get into TEAMWIN recovery but it won't connect to USB at all.
I absolutely can't flash anything with it failing in ODIN and KIES won't recognise my phone. I've put it in 'download mode' as well..
I've also tried flashing roms through TEAMWIN/CWM recovery but it instantly fails.
Are there any options open to me? I'm really scared that I have an expensive paperweight....

Try another usb port (recommended: back of the computer)
and flash again via Odin stock base rom 4.3
P.S: I was getting the similar problem you have. another usb port helped me

Hello,
For my part, I also encountered problems! the only rom that is passed via ODIN after testing 5 other is:
I9505XXUAMDF_I9505PHNAMD8_PHN
But if Knox! possible that this does not happen either?
*************
For me I do:
1 - Flash with Odin Pit
2 - Flash with ODIN last recovery philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.zip
3 - Wip full recovery for new rom
4 - Flash the I9505XXUAMDF_I9505PHNAMD8_PHN
And then this happened.

I thought with the official 4.3 new bootloader, we cant downgrade to 4.2.2.
Try another Odin version or extract the .tar file via Winrar (rename it from .tar.md5 to .tar if your file ending at .tar.md5) and flash the system.img.ext4 via this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333807 see if you getting error with this tool while flashing the system.img.ext4
and then try to flash again with odin
P.S. While flashing via Odin kill in Task Manager Kies and related process and flash again

Hey Bordo
Thankyou so much for your suggestion - I will try the individual component flasher later tonight and then write back on what happens
I will also remember to kill Kies with task manager beforehand, before using ODIN or any other flasher :good:
Thankyou so much for your time and effort in trying to help!!!! Much appreciated
all.
I have an i9505 on 3 UK that has been rooted for over 6 months. I've been running the excellent TW based Echo Rom but wanted to try an ASOP rom but quickly wanted to revert.
I tried to restore my Nandroid but this failed and screwed up the phone (dont ask)so back to ODIN and i flashed back to stock 4.4.2 firmware for the UK via Sammobile (NG8)
Now back to square 1 so attempted to reroot with CF Autoroot again via ODIN. all show pass and i get the black screen on the phone with the red android logo and line stating stock recovery restored. I then used ODIN to flash Philz recovery again shown as Pass, however when i try to get into recovery i get some small white text on the bkack background that is there too briefly to read before the phone reboots as normal.
The Su superuser app is there but states the Su binary is outdated and the phone has no root access.
Ive read a few methods to get round this but they all seem to follow the same process ive tried a few times now.
The Rom for Echoe is auto root so id have thought if i could get to recovery somehow i could just flash this ?
Any one any views or have i screwed up for good ? .
You will be fine.
If you want to flash a custom rom anyway the shortest way would be to just flash the custom recovery. You don't need root for that.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery and it should work.

so i reflashed Philz recovery and unchecked auto reboot. This then gives me PASS in ODIN. I guess then i unplug and try and activate recovery - but still nothing...it just boots up normally ?

GTI9505...(Bootloader i9505xxegng8)
Originally I tried philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.tar.md5
and then updated to philz_touch_6.23.9-i9505.tar.md5 with no avail.
Try redownloading it. If you say that if passes, then it should just work.
If it still fails then try TWRP. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing.
Could it be connected to me flashing a generic unlocked UK firmware on a 3 UK handset ?
That's sorted it ! Flashed CWM recovery and am now running Echoes v28.
Thanks for the help. I was really panicking for a while.
I wont be changing roms for a while but I guess if I did I won't lose root ?

Just pick one of the latest.

- different usb port
- different cable

Why did you want to flash a custom recovery, to just flash a custom rom? If so, then just flash the custom recovery again and then flash the custom rom you want.
And why would you just flash the ap file if the firmware has more files? Makes no sense to me.

Hi,
Need help in fixing my Note 3...Please
I have Galaxy Note 3 N9005 with android 4.4.2. having ROM model N9005ZHUENH4_N9005ZZHENH4_TGY
I downloaded Android V 5.0 ROM from Sammobile with country TGY same as that of already working ROM.
I started the mobile in download mode and burned the ROM but it failed at cache.img with invalid Ext4 error
I downloaded many other ROMs for N9005 from sammobile and only few loaded successfully. However all the ROMs flashed successfully result in inactive wifi.
So I am now running mobile with no wifi.
Please help...
What do you mean rom burning ?? Heating or flashing ??
What is your phones original firmware ??
i'm also facing this problem when i flash Samsung Official Firmwares (kitkat & lollypop) on my Note 3 SM-N9005.. after flashing Wifi button becomes irresponsive so that i cant switch on my wifi..
But When i do flash any custom ROM ( like blisspop, Dark Lord , Phorensesis etc) , this wifi problem is not occured..
if u got any solution , plz post it.. thanks in advance

Hi XYAN78, I had the same isse as you, I also upgraded from kitkat 4.4.2 to the latest TGY rom through Odin, I finally fixed it. Here are the things you can try :
1. Try wipe cache, data from recovery then shut down and take out the battery, then startup the phone again. You may try a few times.
2. If 1. not work, try do :
-wipe data/cache in recovery.
-flash rom througn Odin( don't tick the auto restart check Box), when odin flash finish, reboot into recovery and wipe data&cache. Shut down and take out the battery.
-boot into download mode directly, and flash the rom again.
(You may ned try more time this cycle in order to to fix it. Good luck)

Originally I was on Kitkat: N9005ZHUENJ1 and then flash the Lollipop N9005ZSUGOI1, I use Winrar and when try the zip file test also failed but after installed the latest version of Winrar, it passed the test. btw, when Odin do the flash it will test the MD5 check also, so if it can pass the MD5 test step in Odin flash process then the file should be fine.
below is the Lollipop Rom I flashed, and I followed the instruction there also.

I tried the method but it is not working. The TGY ROMS gives ext4 error at cache.img. other ROMS as in my above post loads but without Wifi. So, still without Wifi...
my mobile is 32GB HK version maybe that is the reason.
I also noticed mobile heating up after flash/factory reset is it normal??
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi All,
After wandering over the internet to solve my problem i finally resolved it.
I changed my approach to problem instead of focusing on wifi to work with ROMS loading successfully; i focused on ext4 error while flashing with original TGY stock ROM.
After googling and going through many forums I found the solution that worked
The solution was to flash the stock TGY ROM with pit file "CSB_signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0805" and voila...
This pit file is available on the internet.
Initially I loaded original TGY stock ROM 4.4.2 which worked and Wifi not greyed this time.
Afterward I loaded TGY ROM 5.0. The second time without pit file and it was fine.
After re-partition with CSB_Signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0805, what are size of the partition of System, Cache and Hidden of your Note3?
My 32G N9005 is with same wifi problem after flashing latest TGY LL stock ROM. I found System partition size is of 2.2GB but the size of System partition derived from PIT file should be 2.9GB.
