[SOLUTION] Hong Kong 16GB stuck after 4.4.2 update - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is for Hong Kong 16GB N9005 who were stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note 3' screen after getting a 'Invalid: ext4 image' or 'Repartioning failed' errors while installing 4.4.2 OFFICIAL (Single File ROM) via Odin.
Many Thanks to @Volrath for his/her post in another forum with this solution. I have tried and it worked. I've tried almost every other solution without avail. So, this is probably the only solution available at the time I'm writing this post.

In Odin mode
1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip]
2. Flash the latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) [http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00094/gb3/n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.6-kitkat(0113).tar]
Download Sweet Rom and place it in ExtSDcard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2487425)
I tried external sd-card with various format and could not install the ROM. After format my SD Card to FAT32, the ROM can be installed.
On Device
1. Boot in to Recovery mode by Volume up + Home + Power
2. Wipe Factory reset / Dalvik Cache
3. Format /System (under "mount and storage" menu) [IMPORTANT STEP]
4. Install Rom from SD Card
5. Say your prayer. You'll need it. (The installation could take sometimes. If the device screen shows Samsung boot animation, you're half way there)
Thanks again @Volrath!

Ahh brilliant, you got sorted :good::good:

Yes I did! Thanks a lot for your support on the way! :good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Tripped Knox and Binary Custom. That's a shame, though. Hoping there'll be a way to reset all that by the time I sell my phone in a year!
Thanks again.
Warm regards,
R

Is this working?

If that does not work, Try this:
1. Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache.
3. Reboot phone.
3. Format System in Wipe/Unwipe.
4. Install SweetROM_V7.01_NA6_4.4.2_N9005.zip again.

Please report update after you try these.

I guess it depends on the phone itself, but for mine it just does not work. No matter how many times i download/install this rom and change microsd card and safely removing the microsd card making sure the file is intact it will just crash on samsung setup see picture attached mine. Its basically a paperweight this point unless they will release 4.4.2 firmware HK thats compatible to my device.
And yes i have tried every factory wipe that you can think of...
Im going to try Jackaway 4.4.2 firmware and see how it goes...

Try another custom ROM, or grab the PIT file and re-do your phone and flash Sweet/Jackyaway or Flxkat again.

the same problem.
how i flash 2 files in odin?
1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-...x-smn9005.zip]
2. Flash the latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) [http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00094/gb3...280113).tar]

I was having the same problem, keeps on getting Samsung Setupwizard has stopped dialog.
I have wipe data/cache etc and flash the Sweet Rom many times but still gets the same error.
THEN, I used Odin to flash the 4.4.2 bootloader from here, as mentioned in Sweet Rom thread in the first post regarding needing the 4.4.2 bootloader for Sweet Rom, and tada, its works without the setupwizard has stopped error.
I dont know how and why it helped but it fixed my problem.
So basically, I follow every step rinuvimal said in the first post of this thread, encountered the setupwizard error, shut off the phone, goes into download mode, use Odin to flash the 4.4.2 bootloader, the phone restarts and the error is gone!

Mine was even stranger.
I got stuck after trying to install KitKat.
Then, I flash only "cf-autoroot" the first one. After it was flashed, phone booted up just fine.
I just got an Samsung Keyboard has stopped. Now working on it.
Thanks for a tip.

You both are running custom kernels. You have four options:
(1) Freeze the app called SEAndroid using Titanium Backup or a similar app.
(2) Use Titanium or a similar app to uninstall the KNOX application.
(3) Use Root Explorer or a similar app to browse to /system/app and delete all files beginning with KNOX
(4) Flash the stock kernel.

What kernel are you running? Try a different custom kernel. I can assure you that the messages have nothing to do with your inability to activate wifi. That message is a well known issue.

kernel version says 3.4.0-529760 [email protected] #1 Sat Apr 27 18:12:21 KST 2013.
my baseband ends in mdc and build number ends in mdl. Would that have any effect on it? I can't flash any other roms in rom manager because my 3g is too slow and an error occurs every time I try to flash it.

Well it seems you're running an older kernel on a newer rom. without knowing the ROM I'd suggest you run a new kernel. I use this. It should work well for you.
Make sure you download the correct version. Use ASOP if you're running and ASOP ROM like CM. Use Touchwiz if you're running a Touchwiz ROM.

Thanks. I'll try it out. I'm just running the stock rom. That's the only rom that I'm having wifi problems with.
I'm relatively new to using odin so when I try to flash the kernal i click on pda but the zip file isn't listed. What do?

Ahhh it's not flashable in ODIN. you'll need to install a custom recovery via ODIN and then flash it. I use TWRP 2.5.0.2. It seems to be the most stable.
1) Click this and download the odin flashable version of TWRP.
2) Open ODIN. Click PDA select the file you downloaded
3) click START.
4) your phone will reboot.
Now you have TWRP installed. To flash a zip file:
1) save it to your sd card.
2) Boot into recovery. (to boot into recovery just reboot your phone. when you feel it vibrate press the volume up button until it boots into recovery)
3) click the INSTALL button.
4) find the zip file on your SDCARD. select it.
5) swipe to flash
6) press the wipe cache/dalvik button.
That's it.

okay gotcha. that makes more sense. Didn't think you could install a zip with odin but wasn't sure. When I install different recoveries in odin I can't flash my recoveries and that's why I was trying to get cwm recovery. Thank you for your help. I'll let you know how it goes.

Awesome. Thank you soo much. Finally got it working. Now if I could just fix my cm10 rom I'll be set. I'm having issues with several apps in cm10. Can only access google play, facebook, etc. sometimes. They work fine on wifi but with 3g they almost never work.

you can take new backups with TWRP.
also CM10 is great but ASOP roms in my opinion are for more experienced users. I'd play around with the stock Touchwiz rom first.
I've been getting this error all day today. I'm on MDL ROM. I restored it from my previous CM10.1 installation. While I was on CM10.1, I flashed the MF9 firmware. Later that day I did a factory reset in recovery and restored my previous NANDROID MDL backup. I started getting this Prevention Information error.
My baseband was MF9 while my build number was MDL. I read that I had to put the MDL firmware back on the phone. I got the MDL firmware from this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 . After using ODIN to put the firmware back on, I went into TWRP and cleared cache and dalvik and rebooted. I'm still getting the error even though baseband and build number are both MDL.
Any ideas? Thanks!

This has been happening alot if you install bootloader, kernel, firmware, etc seperately. to avoid this odin back to full stock mf9.

Just odin full mf9 stock tar. This happens because of different firmware versions together or if your rooted and such just use any root file explorer and delete all apps in system that begin with knox
Downgrade
But if I go to an older stock then I receive update notifications again and that is something I see even more annoying than selecting inform me no sooner than in 30 days option offered by Prevention information popup. Correct? Or when flashing stock through Odin again (not downgrade but doing the same thing again but through Odin) the problem dissapears?

If you go to mf9 thats the newest update we have really so you wouldnt get a update notification. But theres three ways to solve your problem. One odin back to stock MDL and accept then accept the update. Or second you can reflash the same firmware you have again thru odin to make sure everythin is where its suppose to be or 3rd use a root file explorer and in system/apps delete every app that begins with knox.
Also i had the same problem after i updated the S4, my problem was with K9-email client i just remove it and all things now are good.

[HOW-TO] Flash latest 4.2.2 on GT-i9082

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device, you solely take responsibility for any damage or bricking.
WARNING: The following firmware should only flashed in GT-I9082 and not any other devices as this might brick them.
1. Download Jelly Bean 4.2.2 I9082XXUBMF2 from https://hotfile.com/dl/233057193/bed43fc/I9082XXUBMF2_I9082OXABMF2_OXA.rar.html
2. Now extract the downloaded file I9082XXUBMF2_I9082OXABMF2_OXA.rar the package included the Odin 3.07 and firmware files.
3. Open Odin3 v3.07.exe
4. Power off Galaxy Grand Duos and boot into download mode (Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons).
5. Now Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign with port name in Odins ID:COM box.
6. Add files by clicking
PIT - baffin.pit
PDA - CODE_I9082XXUBMF2_871997_REV05_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
PHONE - MODEM_I9082XXUBMF2_REV05.tar.md5
CSC - CSC_OXA_I9082OXABMF2_871997_REV05_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
7. Make sure Re-Partition is ticked.
Galaxy grand duos jelly bean 4.2.2 odin flash
8. Finally Click Start and wait until Odin finish flashing....After complete Phone will restart.
That's it done !
Note:
If you encounter any Force close or Boot Loop
1. Boot into recovery mode (Home+ Power + Volume Up)
2. Choose wipe/data factory reset.
(THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
3. Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!
:good: THERE YOU GO, YOU HAVE THE LATEST FIRMWARE INSTALLED IN YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND !!! :good:
HIT LIKE IF THIS HELPED YOU
PS - Contact me for any help regarding this.
I think you should be less missleading if this is a "HOW TO" guide.
1. There is no order on the procedures.
2. You show nothing about flashing and applying CWM, as you mention it in the beginning.
3. It's GT "i"9082, not 19082.
4. I don't think you need to wipe data so often. Flashing a stock firmware through odin kind of overwrite the device. IMO one wipe after the flash is enough.
Hi, a noob here..
I'm still on a stock rom...original firmware...and I've downloaded the latest firmware (I9082XXXAMD6_I9082OLBAMD3_XTC) on the livesamsungupdate site...
Is there any clear steps on how can i update my phone without using KIES or the ODIN thing....whichever is the best...
And is there any infos or pros and cons after the updates of official firmwares?
Thanks in advance....
If the file has a .md5 or .tar it is best to flash with odin
If it is a zip file it is best to flash with CWM or other custom recovery

I recommend to take a nandroid backup before proceeding
* Reboot your phone into recovery mode (vol up+home+power)
* Wipe data and cache
* Reboot your phone into download mode (vol down+home+power)
* It will show a warning press vol up to proceed
* Now open odin in your pc and connect phone via usb cable
* If odin recognizes your device th ID:COM port will turn yellow or blue(or any color)
* Now click on PDA and locate your .tar.md5 file
* Make sure only Auto reboot and F. reset time is checked
* Click on start (it will take around 10 - 15 mins)
* Once complete unplug the cable and your device will reboot
DONE YOU HAVE YOUR FIRMWARE FLASHED IN YOUR DEVICE.
if any thing goes wrong restore your backupand contact me for help.

Hi, does nandroid backup works on non-rooted phones?
does upgrading to official firmware will all the installed apps, contacts, etc will be intact?

Yes it is possible to make one (if you cant then back up after rooting)
No everything will be deleted since you wiped your data before flashing but you can try titanium backup to backup all your apps and contacts before flashing and restore them after flashing.

Carbon or Helium I think is for non-rooted phones for backup... maybe it will do...
One more thing.... before I upgrade the firmware do I need to remove the SD card and the SIM cards?

Hey guys do some one know how to delete a post ?
Any idea what is the difference or any improvement of flashing it to the latest version of the official firmware?
I read this article on how to update to latest firmware: Updating to latest firmware
"Verify that both the device's carrier and bootloader are unlocked before proceeding. Attempting to install the firmware on a locked device may completely damage or brick the device."
What does this means? is it if the device is SIM locked?
My phone is is SIM locked on the SIM1 only but not the bootloader... is there any way to check if this is locked?
Thanks in advance...

No this firrmware will not harm your GT-I9082 because we have bootloader unlocked ans sim unlocked,
How ever take a nandroid backup before flashing so we can revert back the changes if anything goes wrong.
Just for additional ROM links I've found. All countries ROM include latest and previous version for your Grand Duos.

[Q] GT-i9500CHN

Dear All,
I am struggling to introduce different firmware to my GT-i9500CHN.
I have got from China original Samsung retailer. (went thru several checks it is genuine GT-i9500)
I have tried to put 'European' firmware as Chinese one is 'google-less' and has only Samsung Chinese IME. (I am living in the UK)
My current baseband version is I9500ZCUCMF3 and handset is not accepting any other (getting 'soft brick' via ODIN), so I am able to go back only to I9500ZCUCMF3.
My Kernel version is: 3.4.5-868190 [email protected] #1, Mon Jul 1 20:14:37 KST 2013
Has anyone have experience with changing that firmware?
Thank you for your support.
Flash it 5 file in Odin.

Fortunately I am able to go back to 3. I9500ZCUCMG1_I9500CHNCMG1_I9500ZCUCMF3_HOME.tar.md5.
I am just wondering what can happened if I fail to flash it with all 5 above files. Can I come back to 3. I9500ZCUCMG1_I9500CHNCMG1_I9500ZCUCMF3_HOME.tar.md5 ? Or I would need to flash 5 original files (which I don't have..)

It is the MODEM file. As I said, leave the baseband alone... Those files you downloaded are for i9500 HK version, but you are holding China Mainland version. They might have minor difference.
Download latest twrp.tar file and flash using Odin in the PDA tab.
Press Volume UP + Home immediately after reboot, you should see TWRP UI if succeed.

Following that instruction would work. Yes, you need flash SuperSU to root your phone.
But if you want to flash other non-stock rom, just ignore that step, most of non-stock rom already includes SuperSU.
I haven't heard of any China Mainland version cellphone encountered SetUID restriction issue.

I have tried to flash OMEGA as advised, but unsuccesful. I have read on the OMEGA thread, that:
Wipe cache partition automatic before roms installation
Wipe Dalvik Cache automatic during installation
Wipe preload partition automatic before roms installation
Wipe System automatic before roms installation
is included, so I didn't proceed with wipe (I have seen it being wiped while flashing)
I have also flashed XXUBMG9 at the beginning as advised on OMEGA thread.
After reboot, I have got standard white 'Samsung logo GT-i9500' and after that nothing happened --> black screen...
I was able to restore via TWRP to start point.
Any ideas?

Wipe procedure during OMEGA installation somehow would not fully remove stock files...you have to use TWRP's wipe to do that.
1) Advanced Wipe in TWRP (data, system, cache, delivk cache.)
2) flash OMEGA rom
One more thing, if you encounter WIFI or Bluetooth issue, try to flash different kernel, Adam kernel.

Hi Cellegg,
Thank you for hints.
I have followed OMEGA's instruction about modem:
'Flash the new modem XXUBMG9 before flashing Omega v12, get it from here or from Omega Files free and Pro. If you did not flash the new modem first then you may loose your modem. If this happens flash XXUBMG9 modem to restore it'
What do you think about it?
I will try with Advance WIpe in TWRP as next.
[edit] Unfortunately same result after flashing modem XXUBMG9 and Omega v12 rom - black screen... no idea why?!
Any ideas?
[edit2] I have checked information about baseband/modem in 'About device' and it is showing: I9500XXUBMG9

It seems you had successfully flashed the MODEM/baseband, if I9500XXUBMG9 showed in 'About Device'
I would say try again...or try other Recovery and Roms...
Anyway, if all above failed..here it is the Google apps package: http://www.vdisk.cn/down/index/13790672 (hit "智能线路下载" to download)
You must root your phone before flashing it.

My phone won't boot!

Dear xda users,
I have a big problem with my Samsung S7 Edge G935F!
Yesterday my phone restarts continuously so I used Odin to flash Firmware Stock. First, I used this Firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065 .
Odin doesn't show any errors and my phone restarts; but after Samsung S7 Edge Boot Splash Screen, the phone shows a screen with yellow triangle and Android dead and then, phone restarts in Stock Recovery Mode.
In the Recovery mode when I press Reboot System Now or PowerOff, appears "Verifying DMVerity Hash Tree..." and then "Failed" and my phone restarts again in Recovery.
I tried Wipe data and cache but Nothing!
Then I tried to repair firmware with Kies 3: No errors but my phone won't boot!!
And then I tried another firmware file with Odin but nothing!
The phone is Completely Stock! Recovery Mode and Download Mode work and the phone is recognised by PC.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance

Have you tried doing a "Factory Data Reset" in stock recovery yet?
If not, do that before doing anything else.
The Factory Data Reset in stock recovery will WIPE your internal
sdcard but it will not wipe your external SD if you have one.
Also it would be very helpful to know the exact filename(s) of the
stock firmware(s) which you have tried to odin flash and what the
model of your phone is. (G938F) or other variant?)
Good luck and have a great day!

Yes I tried Wiped data/Factory Reset and Wipe cache partition in Stock Recovery..
Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Model: SM-G935F
Firmwares tha I tried to flash with Odin:
Netherlands (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FPHN1APE2_G935FXXU1APEQ_PHN
Italy (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FITV1APE2_ITV
If flashing succeeds, and you still have the same problem:
go back with your device where you bought it
You can't solve it yourself, and probably something is wrong/defect with the main-board
When you 1st discovered the continuous reboot:
1. why did you not go to the store where you bought your phone?
2. why trying to flash "other firmware" on your phone instead of your "original firmware"?
What's your original CSC? Flash your phone with your original phone's CSC and bring your phone back for repair and/or replacement!

I tried with Kies3 but the problem remains.. I think with Smartswitch is the same thing because the file and the installation procedure is identical.. I don't know

Download twrp.tar file n910f

Flash using odin and uncheck auto reboot in odin options
Once twrp flash complete in odin remove battery and insert again then press volume up+home+power together to boot into twrp.
You can flash any rom for n910f from twrp.
this is very good rom for n910f below.

Actually this rom comes with multi csc codes thats why it confirm which csc you want to use.
Choose whatever csc dosent matter.

Oh dear ! Thats not a good sign.your motherboard is acting crazy.try flash twrp again in odin and try to flash rom without wipe cache or dalvik cache (just wipe system) and flash rom.
If same error ( invalid argument) shows again then in twrp advance wipe there is repair tab at bottom in twrp try to repair cache partition and try again.
