If you downloaded from that thread (which I pressume you did) you need to extract the file from that zip file. You should get a file with .tar.md5 extension. Just odin that. If you get any error just delete the .md5 extension and leave it with the .tar extension.

Here a link @makpr provided. Just download the zip file and extract whats inside. Get the .tar.md5 and odin that. Again if you get any error just delete the .md5 extension.

Your welcome. Btw if you are able to recover back to stock and the phone gets stuck at sprint boot then just turn off your phone, go to recovery (you should have stock recovery now) and just do a factory reset. Then reboot then you should be fine.

Using the back USB ports on my desktop instead of the front ones finally allowed me to unbrick my phone. I was getting a similar message about the PIT mapping and finally found this information, that got me past the error.

[Q] Unable to update trough Kies

Hi!
After flashing a custom Rom (Omega 2.2), my device entered a strange situation: even with the security lock activated, I am not able to flash trough Odin.
To fix it, I am trying to update the firmware trough Kies, but it keep saying that my SN number can´t be verified. Any suggestion?
Thank you very much!
Regards!

Problems flashing custom roms

I have rooted my Note 3 N9005, 4.4.2, and installed CWM, but whenever I go to install a custom Rom via cwm it says that it is bad and aborts, I have tried various roms and it is the same with them all. Any punters or tips for me to try?

Strange, flash back to stock via Odin, then install TWRP or PhilZ advanced CWM and try again - could just be a bad CWM install

Could also be the roms are corrupted...
If you have wifi at home try downloading directly to the phone instead of PC. Might be the problem...

Indeed.. And always verify the size of the downloaded file against the one usually posted on the download page.
Additionally.. I would have to concur about using TWRP. It has never failed me.

Trying to install stock rom

I have the att note 3 that was 4.4.2 and I am ready to sell it but my phone was rooted and I uninstalled some of the stock programs that came with it. I tried to flash what I thought was a stock rom through Odin but it failed and now I just see firmware encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies. When I go to kies it just tells me that I cannot recover the device. If anyone can help me that would be awesome and thanks in advance.

Root it and flash it again with odin

The phone doesn't even boy anymore and I'm pretty sure that you don't need to be rooted in order to flash with Odin. Also I don't want to just try and root and hope it works because as of now Knox is not tripped

You root one time and your Knox is modified even if you flash stock after...
Start again in dl mode and flash again but check md5 before

The method I used did not trip Knox see the picture. And I have used Odin before a lot of times before I have tried to reflash many times if you Google it you will see that a lot of people are having this issue but nothing has worked for me so far figured I'd ask here. It is also very hard to even find the att stock rom

Lost sound after flashing various modems

I'm baffled and have no idea what to do next
I flashed an mdj modem IIRC, and lost sound.
Running stable CM11
Current modem is MK6 currently.
I tried to flash through Odin back to stock but it failed twice - even though it was for my Rogers device 4.4.2
Im lost

Anyone know what the solution is?.
Do I need the stock kernel? Do I need to reflash modems?
If not and you guys think I need to Odin to stock can someone link me to the proper file and some steps?
I can't seem to ever get any stock roms to flash in odin

Odin can be finicky. Try different usb cables and ports. You should be able to get the firmware for your device at sammobile.com

It's not a connection port issue it's a Fail Auth when the stock firmware is almost done installing
Thank you for replying
