Hi you all!
i have got a galaxy note,
i hade the Revo note hd v1 rom before, when there was a upgrade to 2.5 i downloaden with kitchenpro, and istalled the rom, after the reboot, the phone didnt start it only freeze att start.
but i could go to download mode.
now i´m trying to flash with odin 1.85 but it fails after factoryfs.img!!
triyd the latest original N7000_XXKL8,
and tryid N7000XBKK4_N7000OXXKK5_NEE
same problem, what can i do??
please help!!!

Why did you tick Re-Partition?

Before you flash everything (with pit, csc, modem and repartition), you should try to the most basic solution first: Flash stock ROM in PDA only.
download firmware at: http://fus.nanzen.se/
(from Hoffighter's posting) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1350960
Download Check Fus Downloader 2.1, using the Check Fus Downloader, download Firmware N7000XXKL8 (Ibelieve it's for Germany). It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and you will get
.tar.md 5 file.
open Odin3 1.85, attach the .md5 file to the PDA field on Odin.
(Leave pit, phone, and CSC blank, uncheck re-partition)
Go to download mode and click start on Odin.
If the above steps still fail you, than you can try other things.
but I believe your problem has nothing to do with Modem, pit, or partitioning.

[Q] DOWNLOAD mode N9005 - 4.4.2 - UDC START?

I'm installing the new firmware but i had an issue with odin...
I flashed again 4.4.2 but in download mode, the last line you can see " UDC START" in colour red... Is this normal? I think the phone works good, but i don't know why put on this...
Anyone have this new line??

I have the same problem with a N9005 I guess it was Hong Kong version for the kanjis in the back, but is stuck in odin mode with the UDC START line

UDC Start info.
Ok gent's little more knowledge about "udc start" I am guessing that the problem became clear as you installed 4.4.2 KK.
So did I and came across UDC Start the second time I booted into download mode.
As I played around i became aware that the "UDC Start" mode locks the download loader to certain criteria. This would be 4.4.2 KK,
so anything under 4.4.2 will get a MASSIVE RED FAIL. That including the CWR/TWRP recoveries and ROOT files.
So just to specify, yes phone is now locked/bricked to 4.4.2 KK software only.
Therefore I would please like some help to get the udc start away!? If anyone can help.
If I shared some light to the darkness please say thanks.:good:

Try this out:
Worked for me on a Hong Kong 16GB N9005 which was 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.
Binary: Custom
Knox: 0x1
Method:​
In Odin mode
1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-...x-smn9005.zip]
2. Flash the Chenglu's latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2454079
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)

How is that going to take away the udc start?

I have UDC Start in Odin/Download mode... It hasn't affected my flashing of custom ROMs nor Stock, everyone on KK has it.

Ok, but why if i try to install a previous version of TW rom 4.3 i get a massive fail?
But all the rest works?
Thanx in regards.

Because you are locked into the new Bootloader (NA6) and it's unable to downgrade

So I am guessing there is no way to downgrade the boot-loader without unlocking it?

There's no way full stop. Samsung have blocked downgrades within the bootloader itself.

Wow now that's some sort of a problem.
My 4.4.2 works but i love xposed modules to make everything transparent and as of yet kitkat does not support that.
And now i a stuck on 4.4.2..
But thanx for the assist.:good:

Hi. I have a unrooted SHV-E330 (I9506 to some) I was running the unrooted firmware and updating with Kies up until yesterday when the update to came up. I ran it as with every other update however on self rebooting the phone now goes to ODIN MODE (in red) and UDC Start (in red) i'm a root virgin and was happy with the phone running as it was AnTU TU score 36118 with the Korean bloatware running in the background. From what I have picked up after 4.3 firmware update to 4.4.2 there is no going back. I tired to root with earlier versions of firmware but get fail every time. I Picked up a zip SKT-E330SKSUCNA7 wich goes as far as checking the MD5 file successfully in Odin 3 v3.09. everywhere I look on the web it states the com box should be yellow however mine is blue.
After MD5 successful I get leave CS. I click start I get 'Get PIT for mapping. There id no PIT partion followed by a red box and the'FAIL!' box with 'all threads completed Failed 1.
I have never rooted a phone and a buff mentioned that I will not regret it. I figure thart i'm doing something wrong as there was no PIT file with the firmware.
On first trying a firmware recovery in Kies because the phone is stuck In ODIN MODE it will not recognise the phone even though the USB drivers are installed.
If their is a person out there that could talk me through rooting trough the stuck ODIN MODE I would appreciate contact.
I gather that I have no choice but to try ODIN MODE on phone as that's where the phone is stuck. Removing battery etc has been tried to death.

Your phone does not have a pit file on it. Odin downloads the pit file from the phone to make sure that all the partitions are correctly flashed.
Try ticking the 'Re-partition' box in odin while flashing. Though I don't really think it will help, because your single file ROM most probably does not contain the pit.
Your best bet is to find somebody else with the same model as you, and get a pit from them.
PS- You are in the wrong forums.

Hey thanks for the response the same day I managed to fix the problem a hour ago after 24 hours of banging my head on a wall.
I uninstalled all software including Odin remembering that ODIN MODE was the only option. most of the Boot Operating system was in Korean.
I followed a you tube guide from another root and noticed that although ODIN MODE and UDC start are new (according to other forums) that the other information insinuated that the screen I was looking at was also the download mode.
I reinstalled Kies and rather than asking me for the emergency recovery code it reset and was asking for the Model and serial number. After which it stated it could not recover the device only reinstall the stock firmware. I selected OK. the phone came back to life and reinstalled all data from cloud.
now on 4.4.2 and still thinking about rooting
however I must warn anyone that comes across the unlocker website that states its mod allows for E330S root. that clockwork mod does not cater for E330S.

Au contraire, I have done a lot of research on pit file and played around a lot. Check out my threads.
If you tick re-partition without having a pit, it just gives you an error. Maybe in the olden days, it might have been an issue (I haven't always been a Samsung guy), but definitely not now.

If so, then make sure they know which version of ODIN to use as this is the fastest way to kill a phone I know...
Right from the very first this was a cardinal sin but then you didn't have a phone anymore or much sympathy either... But to tell a noob to do this was in effect saying "put your phone in front of a steamroller, it'll be ok after its gone over it a couple of times"...

I found this KS01LTE_KOR_SKT_32G.pit and ran it in Odin running download mode and it worked. It appears there are several Korean versions of the right ROM and unless the right rom is used flash in odin does not work.
I'm starting to sound like i know what i'm talking about!

The different ROMs must have different pits. That would explain why only some specific ones work.
Anyway, congratulations.

SM-N9005 Kitkat 4.4.3 failed

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Q] Help needed bricked my SM-N900

So today I was trying to update my phone to a newer version of 4.4.2 I downloaded N900ZSUDNG1_N900OZSDNG1_BRI also Odin v3.09, Odin detects my phone perfectly but flashing fails every time i tried 4 different USB ports and same thing at the end of flashing it says FAILED but i see no error on the log it goes all the way to where it writes CACHE it seems and then says FAILED any ideas as to what to do to recover my phone would be appreciated.

Hey good morning,
I would suggest you to flash root (knox will be flagged 0x1)
Then flash cwm (or any recovery you like)
Put a nice ROM in your SD card (use another device or a card reader for pc)
Boot into recovery, wipe all data and flash the rom.
(* the steps above WILL void your warranty)

Usually Odin checks the MD5 validity of the file before it begins anything. If he just gets stuck on cache, the MD5 check must have passed.

So I tried to take my phone to the Samsung experience store today to try and fix my previous issues. the person tried to reset the firmware on it because I am not getting a baseband or IMEI at all (shows baseband unkwon and IMEI null/null). I may have caused this myself by the way when i was playing around with different firmwares and did not back up EFS ever.
Anyway, Now i am stuck with this:
SGH-I337 galaxy S4
Version: 4.4.4
Build: I337UCUFNJ4
Baseband Unknown....
I am not sure what I need to do in order force IMEI back onto phone I tried rooting and playing with EFS, but the phone seems to not get rooted either via motochopper.
WHAT CAN I DO NEXT ?!? Need some if your brilliant minds here please.
By the way, the person at Samsung checked by IMEI to make sure it wasnt blacklisted or reported stolen or anything so that is not the issue.

Thank you for this, I will try it.
But after I root, what would be the next step?

When I tried to follow what it written, IT wont let me flash from ODIN because it there is no PIT partition.

Flash the nb1 tar file from here, do not have re-partition checked in Odin.

Hey, sorry for the long delay. So i was finally able to flash the phone as you told me, and I also rooted it (I hope...). So now I still am having an issue because baseband still says unknown and IMEI null/null. What would be the next step to fix this? I have no idea
Thanks all!! Hoping for some serious help lol

Unfortunately,I haven't seen any fix for no imei other than flashing the firmware. You might have yourself a nice Wi-Fi only device.

Take a leap
Okay well everyone else is saying never flash a pit file but I ran into the same problem and I actually had to flash a pit file BUT you're only able to fo it on MK2 SO FIRST odin back to a fresh install of NB1 uncheck the reboot option in odin after the firmware finishes and says reset on odin unplug youre cable remove youre battery and stick it back in then use the VOLUME UP HOME AND POWER KEY you will see an android with a progress bar GET READY after its done the phone will reboot hold up the volume and home it will reboot into android recovery and then use you're volume keys scroll down to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition after that hit reboot system now we're done with that part this is the second part PART 2 after the phone fully boots up and youre at the welcome screen power off the device go into download mode volume down home and power this is where we are able to DOWNGRADE TO MK2 ITS ONLY POSSIBLE FROM NB1 TO MK2 ONLY HEAD OVER TO THIS THREAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 and download two files JFLTE_USA_ATT_16G.pit that's going to be youre pit file and then you need the MK2 firmware AP_I337UCUEMK2_.tar.md5 I'll give you some time to download them it takes a little time........Okay we ready? Good now load up the two files the pit file in the PIT and the Firmware in the AP NOTE you will see now the repartition box checked LEAVE IT its because of the pit file that its checked! Now we are going to uncheck the auto reboot like we did earlier after Odin says phone reset unplug cable remove battery stick it back in and same thing volume up home power then wipe data factory reset and cache partition then reboot phone should boot up to MK2 now the only thing thats not working at this point is the wifi dont worry about that go through the setup process dont worry about any of youre information we dont care at this point go into settings and check and see if all of youre stuff is back baseband imei everything if it is then great thats what we wanted now we can go back into download mode and use odin and upgrade back to NB1 WE'RE DONE! Congratulations everything should be working properly you're now on NB1 you can take OTA to NJ4 if you want or stay where you're at install safestrap and a custom rom I hope all has went well for you and everything works out!

I will def. try this! For the first part, I am already on NB1, so I need to do it again? OR can I skip straight to step 2? (P.s, when i flashed NB1, I didnt follow this whole procedure ( flashing, then resetting etc.) i simply jus flashed it as per Odin.

You can try as-is
You may not have to re-do it, you could probably go ahead and just skip to part two I just always recommend doing a clean flash but if it doesn't work then just simply go back and try that
