[Q] Major issue with Australian SM-9005, help!

Hey guys, so I've had my Aussie Telstra Note 3 (SM-9005) for just under a month, rooted it with Knox 0x1, installed TWRP 2.6.3.5 and have tried out a few custom ROMs - all went fine. (Last ROM that worked properly was Foxhound 1.0.)
That is until I flashed X-Note Transformer Edition (MJ7). I flashed this through TWRP 2.6.3.5, everything was successful and standard as any other flash, rebooted into the ROM only to find a message saying "Can't play this video" on the very first Interactive Tutorial (Language Select) page. This message appeared multiple times, then more messages saying the system has crashed. Also, everything is extremely slow and barely anything works - including sound, camera, settings, etc. Also Wifi detects networks but cannot connect to them (system crashes). Any time I try to do anything settings related the system bootloops, and I cannot get a mobile signal at all.
Now here's the weird thing, I thought it was just an issue with the ROM not being compatible, so I rebooted to recovery, tried to reflash the previously-working Foxhound 1.0 ROM - SAME ERRORS. Tried a full wipe/format/rm -rf - and install stock ROM from zip - SAME ERRORS. Downloaded the completely stock Telstra Odin ROM, flashed through Odin successfully - SAME ERRORS. Tried to restore EFS (It said successful) - SAME ERRORS... hope you can see where I'm going with this. I've also tried CWM, flashing with different versions of TWRP, full wipe before installing any ROM, etc. tried basically anything I could find on xda without any luck - the ROMs all boot up, but as soon as they load it pops up with the same "Can't play this video" message and everything starts locking up.
This has me really worried since I tripped Knox at the very beginning before Root de la vega, I'm only hoping whoever Telstra use to fix these doesn't care about the counter.
I have literally spent two days without sleep trying everything to fix this and completely failing, so If anyone could help me out I would be forever in your debt, cheers.

What was the last version of firmware flashed?
You might need to flash the gsm modem for that firmware version to get it to work especially considering you have bootloops and no reception.
You might also need to use Megawipe to clear any errors that stay on your device after flash.

Hey mate, last version of firmware was the Stock Telstra SM-N9005 / TEL ROM I found on www . sammobile . com/firmwares/2/
I have tried at least 10 different ROMs with no luck, every single one does the same thing.
I did send it off to Telstra to try for a repair, they sent it back to me unrepaired due to nothing to do with the software but a 1/4mm scratch my keys made in the chrome plastic around the edge with the words "unable to be repaired due to physical damage" with a little sticker pointing to the scratch. ****ing ridiculous if you ask me.
Honestly I don't know all that much to do with the modems and csc's so it might be that causing my problems but I have tried a bunch of different ones without any change.
At my wits end here, phone is just over 30 days old and I can't use the damn thing.

try odin back to stock, then use kies to "emergency firmware restoore" Kies can be a life saver in some situation, make sure you use beta 3 version

[Q] com.android.phone crashing on every boot

Hello everybody,
I flashed today the Polish 4.4.2 and on every boot the phone starts off by giving me an error that "com.android.phone" has stopped working and for a while it's a bit laggy and sometimes Settings crashes too. My IMEI is alright and I also tried fixing by factory reset from both Settings and recovery. I reflashed many times and even tried the XEH Hungarian ROM which has the same problem. This was starting to get really infuriating so I flashed CWM (thus tripping Knox) and tried flashing this zip but to no avail. What's interesting is that if I remove the SIM card I don't receive the error anymore and the phone works as it should speed-wise. Also while having my SIM in the phone I noticed that it also takes a while before it manages to connect to my PC right after booting and when I try without the SIM then it connects much faster.
Other then going tomorrow to my carrier and changing my SIM what else do you recommend me to do?
Thank you for your time!

Did you dirty flash and keep data intact? if so you'll need to wipe and reflash, as KK has a different file system and can cause issues.

I already mentioned I reflashed and wiped countless times. At the moment I'm actually thinking of trying the Netherlands ROM.

You stated you factory reset, not wiped, the difference is data. - You could always trying wiping /system - but you'll need the PIT file incase you mess up the partitions, - Reflash it after a /system wipe. (PIT file is your fall back just in case) - If you're unsure about wiping /system then have a good read up on it, once you're confident then give it a shot, if not then don't try it.

I formatted /System, /Data, /Cache and /SDCard from CWM, after that rebooted in Download Mode and now I'm flashing again the ROM. If this doesn't work then I'm attempting the Netherlands ROM even though it's CSC is different then the Hungarian and Polish ROM.
Later edit: After another flash it still crashes. I'm going to try now the Netherlands ROM since it's been downloaded.
Later edit 2: Same story as before I wiped/formatted /System, /Data, /Cache and /SDCard from CWM, then flashed in Odin 3.09 the Netherlands PHN ROM and I still get crashes when it's booting. Tomorrow (it's technically today since it's 2:30AM lol) I'm getting another SIM. Hope this will be the solution still if anybody has any idea what else I can do I am more then welcome to hear your ideas.

It seems changing my sim solved the issue, which is odd because the old sim wasn't even old enough. Out of this whole ordeal I lost my Knox 0x0 status and 12$ for a new sim. Thank you Samsung for implementing Knox and making my life easy!

[Q] My Note III is bricked??

Hi guys, I am new here, I am now finding help anywhere about my Note III recent problem...
My note III is SM-N9005 Malaysia version, I did root it with CF Auto Root and I had been using it without problems until yesterday morning,
This is my case :
I realized my alarm was written "Clock has been not responding" and I lost my network service, then I tried to restart my phone,
Since I restart, it became worst, my phone went into boot loop and sometimes freeze on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen,
But in a few times of reboot, it will be able to boot into homescreen, but still no service for the network, and everything processes work extremely slow, even freezing and crashing!
What I tried to do to fix it :
-I went to the Samsung service center, and the technician said that my warranty is voided (Ofcourse I knew it), and he told me that this problem is due to software problem instead of hardware.
-I did flash my kernel with stock kernel again which was downloaded from Sammobile, but it did not fix my problem,
-And I tried to hard reset and factory reset of my phone, it did not help too,
-I am also tried to clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot the device, it didn't seems working...
I have already done what I could but I still yet to fix my phone, what should I do now, any experts can guild me?? T^T
Thank you

I didn't really know about EFS while I root my phone, I just knew it recently due to my current issue, so I didn't backup it....
Is there any other solution??? Or could I recover my EFS eventhough I didn't do a backup??
BTW, thx for reply~

check your internal card or sd card for a folder called Backups or something similar, if your running a custom rom normally EFS is automatically stored there if your custom rom does do EFS backup automatically at install....if not do a search on the forum for EFS RECOVERY or re-flash your rom it may help or may not, but im sure it wont though...
also read though the link i sent you there maybe some think there that may help you

Thanks guys for the replies
-I went for a search for the backup folder in either of the storage mentioned by I didn't see a file called "backup"... I think I deleted it since the factory reset I've done yesterday, I went to many forums hat talk about EFS, and it wont help my problem cos all of them are talk about "Backup/recover", where I didn't backup my EFS earlier...
-I tried for the IMEI code, that's the reason I know about EFS, it shows "null/null", and most the information are showing unknown, such as baseband version, IMEISV, IP Address, Bluetooth Address.
-My current situation is whatever I flash into my phone, it just wont help, the problem didn't improvise at all...
Thanks..

download Stock firmware from sammobile or samsung updates
turn phone off, boot into recovery mode wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
turn phone off, boot into download mode
use odin v 3.09 load your downloaded firmware into AP, check update boot loader box, don't check anything else and click start.
once it finishes flashing, it will reboot by itself.
if it fails then you might want to repeat the process above one more time.
if still fails u might want to do emergency recovery via kies.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Hi guys, I think have some new clues to determine my problem now
I flashed a custom recovery into my phone this morning,
and I realise that my /system, /efs and /firmware-modem is unmounted,
I tried to mount them, it was successful, but when I reboot the device, the problem still there,
Boot loop, no IMEI, no Baseband Version, Lag Processes,
and I went back to recovery again, I realised they have been unmounted again...
Any idea what is the problem guys??
Thx

Hi there,
I have tried the kies emergency recovery method, but it was unsuccessful,
My note 3 was connected to the kies, but when I run Emergency Firmware Recovery,
My device was instantly disconnected with kies
And I have also tried the Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation,
The Kies showed me that my device is not supported with initialisation...
Anything I should do??
Thx

Make sure you are using the correct version of X-Note. If its the kitkat version then you have to already be on kitkat. Also, you could try Temasek's CM11 port. That worked for me . Make sure you backup your EFS partition (basically backup ALL partitions in TWRP/CWM or use EFS Pro). Don't want you making the same mistake that I made.

I have fixed the problem by going into the cmw and did the following:
Delete system files
Delete Cache
Delete Partition
Format Sd card
Format all user data
After i did the following, X note did work. I think i did the same process i could be able to install the the stock ROM.
Thank you anyway.

same problem
hi...
i do an installetion and it install good.
wen i do reboot after install, it stuk on the galaxy note 3 first page.
plees help....
i am sury for my inglesh.....

Format partition
Hi
Go to recovery , hold power, home and volume up while booting to enter recovery , if you have have CWM recovery , select mount and storage. you need to format your SD card, format system, clear cache data ansd clear partition, basicallt format whatever you see that says formart. then try reinstalling x note.
NOTE : THIS WILL WIPE YOUR ENTIRE SD CARD DATA !!!!
Please give a thanks up if your problem is solved. Thank you

Well I dont know the latest version but v15 should do. Visit XDA xnote page for the latest info regarding xnote firmware.
Thank you

. I solved the problem and installed the latest version 18
First of all thank you very much for your help. I solved the problem and installed the latest version 18. Beginning it stuck in my after installation as before ... but what I did was to install another kernel that is what solved my problem and I am currently using fun at x-note v 18. Thanks for the help ... If someone encountered a similar problem feel free to install kernel that suits his area.

Once I saw a person reporting a similar problem with this, restore factory defaults (hard reset) and even then, back in the initial state. Do the following:
1-See a ROM that you find it cool, download it.
2- Before installing, format the parities /system, /data and /cache. Both the CWM as the TWRP there these options to format these partitions.
If your friend wants to return to the stock, just install again the stock using KDZ updater. I had spoken to choose a ROM to find cool to install only to change the system partition. In these links you can find ROMs to install:
Original android development: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/orig-development
Here are ROMs that were compiled directly from source code.
Android development: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/development
Here have custom ROMs, PORT ROMs, etc. I think here is more ROMs.

Hmm but device is not rooted, i cant even root it cus i cant install any app on the phone and when i tried to use Kingo ROOT it fails.
