Hidden.img fix for ODIN - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!!
So I have been searching long and wide for a solution, and as time passed witch will be more or less a whole morning, I found it!
The solution to my problem was not as simple and that you can try it at your OWN RISK!!
Download your selected firmware and in this case it would be the "N9005XXUENB4_N9005VFGENA4_N9005XXUENB1" South Africa version.
But we are looking at the red and blue selected ones, where if you have downloaded Poland's rom (official) the the blue (bootloader i think) is a higher version then the S.A one.
So if you encounter the same error just go on and download "Odin3-v1.85" and the SM_N9005 pit file or my fail fix attachment...
NOTE* THIS IS FOR SM_N9005 ONLY!!!
And then just download your NB4 official rom and include it to the fail fix folder.
Open odin.
Add the My-N9005.pit file adn add your rom in AP.
And start, O and then wait for it to say Pass
And your done!! Hope I helped and thanks to the guys that gave me the pit file. And to Odin..

Hi all, Was trying yo install a new firmware on my friends i9502 in order to put on a Rom with Gapps. Anyways. long story short. It has never been connected to Kies. And now I cannot do anything with it except put it into Download mode... I may have accidently tried to pop on a recovery before updtaing firmware and rooting. Firmware gets through ODIN then FAils... ANy help? I am downloading another firmware, but any firmware that has a quick download would be appreciated at this stage - and would be really helpful as I just need to get it going at this stage and the firmwares I have found are mega slow downloads.

Looks like I helped myself ... There was something wrong with my initial download of the Firmware. Replacement file which took a long time to download, worked a treat. No problems, all solved.
Always test .zip file before flash

[Q] [HELP] After Flashing with Odin: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...

Hello guys,
First of all, sorry for my bad english, I'm brazilian and I will not use any kind of translation tool.
I had installed on my phone Cyanogen but I downloaded the leaked KitKat 4.4.2 for GT-I9505 and for some reason some trouble occoured during the procedure on Odin. Now my phone starts with: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I've downloaded many many rooms trying to flashing but none of them worked.
So searching here and there I found that I should be looking for "STOCK ROMs", but I downloaded few of them and no results at all...Then I noticed that I should be using some files in the MODEM, CSC or CP, CSC (depending on the version of Odin I'm using), but none of those files I've downloaded had those.
The list of ROMs I have:
"I9505XXUFNB8_I9505OXAFNB8_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5"
"I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF_HOME.tar.md5"
"I9505VJUEMKE_I9505ZTOEMKE_I9505VJUEMKE_HOME.tar.md5"

"I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_HOME.tar.md5"
"I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3_HOME.tar.md5"
I cannot flash any of those through Odin v3.07 or v3.09.
Looking here and there on the internet I found that I should be trying to split the HOME files into 3 files PDA,CSC and MODEM.
I've downladed Cygwin with "tar" "zip" and "md5" packages and SplitFUS2.
But here is an exemple of what happends when I try to split any of those above:
$ ./splitfus2 -s -w I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3_HOME.tar.md 5
SplitFUS2 by Doky v2.11.120625GA

I've tried so many ROMs, most of them is official, including the Snapdragon "I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3_HOME.tar"
And I'm downloading now Galaxy S 4 (Snapdragon) GT-I9505 ZTM I9505VJUEMKE from samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505 to see if it will work.
ZTM is my country and mobile service provider, let's see if I can flash that one or if it will show the same error as the others above.

1. Stop of flash things without know what the **** u are doing.
2. You flashed I9505XXUFNB8 first with new bootloader android 4.4.2 and you cant downgrade ur phone now to android 4.3.
3. You only can download and flash I9505XXUFNB8 again and is all.
As I imagined

[Q] Note 4 SM-N910F 5.01 firmware upgrade fail Ext4 to small

Hello,
I have a note 4 SM-N910F and I'm from Belgium.
I have upgraded succesfully my note to 5.01 with a Netherlands firmware N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FTPD1BOC1_TPD. However in this firmware the APN for ZiGGO was hardcoded and I couldn't remove it.
In the mean time a new 5.01 for Belgium has become available N910FXXU1BOC5_N910FPRO1BOC1_PRO. But when I try to flash my note with Odin 3.09 I always end up with an error being hidden.img to big and an EXT4 size fail error. Then I need to flash back to the previous firmware to make it work again.
I redownloaded the firmware to make sure (MD5 was correct) and tried to erase the Note before flashing but with the same flashing error.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you
Bump

Make sure you are using the latest ODIN version, which is 3.10.6 and run ODIN as administrator.
I'm using latest Odin in administrator mode but with same result (hidden file failed size too big ext4 error). I see in the forum lot's of people face the same problem and they solve it by integrating it with a new PIT file in Odin. However I can't find the correct PIT file for this one..
Cheers

Galaxy Note 3 N9005 Wifi not working after ROM burning

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 is your phones original firmware ??

HELP
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)

Hi leohk,
i tried your steps but not working...
actually i cannot reload my actual ROM TGY 4.4.2. Few working ROMs as given in my last post are loading successfully.
Can you tell what TGY ROM you have successfully flashed and from where you downloaded that . as i have tried almost all tgy roms from sammobile... I have noticed a zip file error in the TGY ROMs downloaded from sammobile

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.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57235/N9005ZSUGOI1_N9005OZSGOI1_TGY/
I remember I tried the process around 4-5 time before I can get the wifi issue fixed. I have a 16G HK version Note 3.
Hi leohk,
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.

Just download the firmware from Sammobile & flash it through Odin.
That should update it.
=======================
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.12.7
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v3.12.7
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes..
=========
I m not Responsible if you brick your phone.
Please do it at your own Risk.
All the Best..
that is not a good news .. while orio arrived at many phones now we get nougat .. ?
by the way it is known that mid range phones from samsung get only 2 major updates .. and now we lost one chance to go further
they could go straight to Orio and skip nougat .. thay is frustraiting .

You should select Home_CSC for new versions of Odin.
Check the screenshot or Google for difference between Odin versions.
I got upgraded my C9 Pro with Android 7.1.1. And now I found a weird problem that, only Media sound is not coming in headphones. I could hear ringtones, messages tone in headphones. But only music, YouTube audios.. Can't be heard in headphones. But all sounds are heard in mobile speaker. Do anyone else face the same problem and appreciate solution ideas.
The OTA update has been rolled out for C9 PRO (SM-C9000) users. Just a few minor updates I think. Not a big update. ?

I can see that it works on C9000 also. The screenshots clearly say that the Rom is compatible with yours.
Try at your own risk.
