Install the latest verson of kies on you computer.
Then in kies under "Tools" choose "firmware upgrade and initialisation".
Then give you model number "SM-N910?", next give serial number of the phone (you can find that on the sticker behind the battery in your phone).
Then you get a message that the "device can be initialised to its original setting"
Press ok and ok again. Then put your phone in download mode and connect to the computer and press "start upgrade".
Not working @dewingerd
Kies doesnt detect my phone. Bt drivers are installed correctly. It only opens in downloading mode

Happened to me also 2 days ago.
Your mobile only can enter download mode ? but when u try to go to recovery or just power it , nothing happened , right ??
Well , you should do as @dewingerd said carefully do these steps :
Initially you need to upgrade kies to the latest version (mine is : 3.2.15072_2) or this will fail cuz it failed with me the first time.
1) take of your battery , and write down your Serial number .
2) open kies first.
3) open mobile in download mode then connect it . KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE MOBILE
4) Choose : Tools >> Firmware upgrade and initialisation
5) Kies will ask you about your mobile name , TYPE : SM-N910C , ALL CAPITAL LETTERS OR KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT
6) if you did not type the name correctly , you will get a message that kies does not know this name , so start again , type SM-N910C
7) then you will get another box asks for your serial number , enter it (Not case sensitive).
8) Kies then will inform you that it is going to prepare the phone and download the firmware for your device and that you have to connect it in download mode.
9) unplug your mobile , plug it again and click start.
10) Now the process is going to take a while depending on your internet connection (downloading about 2GB), do not unplug the phone and do not allow your laptop/PC to sleep.
11) cautions that I read before : you better not connect or disable any usb devices during the process.
12) suddenly , you will hear you mobile starting up again , congratulations
Q: What about my data , apps and stuff ?
A: All is gone except for those on your External card , sorry , nothing can be done for that (May be you should remove your SDcard first just in case).
Good Luck

thank for your quick reply, my variant is n910c ans yes i can still install recovery. I upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 poland using odin and everything works well. I flashed Googy N4 kernel using TWRP 2.8.1.1 and everything still works well. My problem began when I made a backup of my 5.1.1 stock rom and flash infinity rom which end up in bootloop. So I tried restoring my backup but whenever it got to DATA RESTORING it keeps failing and flashing back the 5.1.1 poland stock firmware through odin keeps ending up on the SAMSUNG boot animation screen.

GoogyMax N4 v2.0. I have tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 but still the same.
After flashing stock firmware using odin, on my stock recovery i found this error
"E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
dm-verity verification failed.......
need to check drk first......."
I have search through the internet but i can't get a clear picture of what it meant.
Does anyone has an idea of what it meant and how to resolve the error?

Hi again ,
Looks like a locked phone and was unlocked in a wrong way or something like that.
read this thread , looks like the same problem.
in short , you need the 4 files firmware to be flashed via oden and as stated in page 2 there , you flash them without pit file.
You can find the 4-files firmware here but this is not 5.1.1 firmware , give it a try , if failed too , search for 5.1.1 4-files firmware.
here is another site but I do not really know if they are 4-files or the single file .
Good luck.

Try to download the appropriate firmware with Samfirm_reborn0.3.6.2 you'll find on Github. Unpack the .zip and start as admin.
Insert full device name and region and additionally check "binary nature" box.
It should download the latest! ROM multiple file format from Samsungs servers directly, at least it did for all my 7 devices (just in case) before I rooted them.
BUT I know that for N910V nothing is found and don't know about S model.
KIES I never used as I read it sometimes conflicts with Odin.
If files are downloaded flash with Odin adding the different files in their input fields. (selve explaining names)
Hello,
I am Complete New in Android Root etc... , I was a iPhone Jailbreaker which everything was mega easy with just some clicks. Now I got a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 "SH9005" on "Lollipop 5.0" Version.
I have Rooted it and using "Freedom" everything works fine and I thought that is everything what about "Rooting" is but I found out Yesterday that there are more Awesome things I can do with "Root" But I dont know how, I have watched many Videos but non of them works or I am Stupid to Understand it xD so I Joined this Awesome Community to look for Help, I am Sure someone know everything about it
I Need you guys Help for.
°How to Install "xposed framework"
°How to Install "Custom Recovery"
I have tryed to Install a Custom Recovery, but everytime I wanna go to Recovery Mode it shows me the Downloading Mode
My best advice for you is to Google "How to root Galaxy Note 3" and the same for "installing exposed" and "custom recovery" and read, read and then read some more. The info is there. Do your research or risk messing up your note 3.
Not trying to be difficult but you really need to do some research.
I have done many research but didnt found anything which is helpfull.
My Note 3 is Rooted (Lollipop 5.0) but the Custum recovery and the other I cant figuer
Out how to Install that, that wjy I am asking if anyone got a Idee
That's odd, when I Google how to install "custom recovery galaxy note 3" I get all kinds of info.
If you search Custom Recovery for Note 3 on Google, there will be lots of info you can find there.
For example, for the TWRP Recovery, there is a installation guide in the official website.
I am also a newbie in the Android World but I have try hard to Google first before asking questions.
Hope this helps.
Look at Youtube videos for how to flash custom recovery or eventually rom flashing etc. (ones with lots of likes). They are alot more visual and easy to follow. Sometimes some of the threads in XDA have confusing language.
FAQS and GUIDES,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/samsung-galaxy-note-3-sticky-roll-t3237249
I dont Understand it ^-^ , Does it matter what Android Version I have ?, So can I use any Custom Recovery ?

I didnt Found any Download Link for "KK/Lollipop" in the Topic as in their Website, but I have Downloaded from their Website, the TWRP for "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 International Qualcomm (hlte)" and Flashed it through Odin, in Odin it says "Pass (Green)" but when I try to Boot on Recovery Mode I get to > Downloading... Do not turn off target!! < and Up on the Corner it says
"Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
Product Name : SM-N9005
Current Binary : Custom
System Status : Custom
Reactivation Lock : OFF
KNOX Warranty VOID : 0x1 (4)
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S2, T2, R2, A3, P3
Secure Download : Enable
UDC START"
But the Phone Boots Normal, and works Normal too just when I am trying to enter Recovery Mode I am getting this Message.
The Way I have Done :
1. I have Downloaded from Orginal Site of TeamWin the .tar file for "Samsung Galaxy Note 3 International Qualcomm (hlte)"
2. I have Shut Down my Phone and Booted to Download Mode
3. I have Connected my Phone to PC
4. I have Run Odin "As Admin"
5. I have but the .tar File in the "AP" Section
6. I have Uncheckt "Auto Boot"
7. I have Pressed Start and got Green Color and says "Pass"
8. I have Removed the Battery of my Phone and putted it back in
9. I have tryed to boot into Recovery Mode
10. I get this Message which I wrote it up
I tryed to leave the Buttons when the Samsung Logo shows but it is too fast it is like 0,5sec and it shows me the Message which I wrote it up there...
I have Searched in Google & Youtube but all what I get is people with the Same Problem but they are getting this because they Installed another ROM which I didnt.
Hope for a Fix

How are you trying to start recovery? there are two key combinations for download mode and recovery mode, pwr + vol up + home is recovery mode, and pwr + vol down + home is download mode if I remember right. Give a try to both combinations and I hope it works. If your note 3 doesn't boot properly, you should try to repair it, first with kies and, if that doesn't work, flashing a new rom.
Probably you've flashed wrong file. Find the 1 with hlte 4.4. The latest is 2.8.7.0.

Hi!
I recommend you install CWM Recovery via Odin.
I think xposed framework isn't working.
Here, you can check it out, maybe has useful threads/posts
http://galaxynote3root.com
Hello everyone,
2 days ago i tried rooting my friends phone using kingo root.
I know its a one-click root app and easy but it didnt work.
It got stuck at 40%, its when it powers on the phone to download mode.
unplugged the phone and removed battery, the phone booted normaly and everything on the phone was still intact and opperating normaly. ( glad it didnt write anything to the phone yet. )
So i adviced my friend there is an alternative way to do it (sorta) manualy and flash it with odin. I did it before on my own phone and of some friends but theres a higher chance of human errors. He agreed so we proceeded and i found a neat guide that walks us past this proces.
The guide can be found on ( cant post links yet): galaxynote3root dot com / galaxy-note-3-root / how-to-root-galaxy-note-3
Or found searching for this google: "galaxy note 3 root"
So i got all the necesary things, got the right files for the right model (sm-n9005) running on android 5.0 and started the proces.
Now in odin it didnt succeed and i dont really remember the exact message but it emidiately failed when it started to use the download mode. (i can use download mode but it stops when it starts sending)
at this point i couldnt use the recovery mode (volume up + home button + power button) but could use the download mode (volume down + home button + power button). it also didnt boot and gave an error that i needed to repair my firmware.
Now i knew i had to fix it and i read that i can go back to the official firmware from samsung using odin also.
So i head over to ( sammobile dot com ) and got the right firmware (Netherlands, Vodafone).
After getting the right firmware i started it and it failed again at the start of the download mode.
Odin gave an error about the EXT4 partitions. after some research i found out i needed to get a .PIT file that repartitions it for you while flashing. So i tried the PIT file for the SM-N9005 32GB, it didnt work... again an error....
I wasnt sure if its 32GB so i tried the 16GB PIT file also. this one gave another error.
So the errors were something like this :
16GB Error: whrong size
32GB Error: EXT4 102400 < 408600
My excuse for not the exact error, ill look it up later.
Thanks in advance for reading about my problem!
I really hope somebody knows whats whrong and how to fix it if it can be fixed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!:fingers-crossed:
Which firmware/baseband version are you running
Did you use chainfire autoroot: https://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip ?

HEY, i need some help with regards to a galaxy note 4 sm-n910f it wont come on nor will it go into download mode, my friend tried rooting it but when he took it off and tried to turn it back on, it went into download mode a few times he tried to flash it via odin but he got some error with emmc write fail i think, i took it and tried to flash it via samsung kies same problem, as well as firmware along with pit file and same problem occured, another error noted was "there is no pit binary" when i attempted to flash it via odin, now it just wont come on, but when i plug it into the computer i could hear the sound it makes when connected, so im not sure what the problem is although after visiting forums as well as the ones here i have concluded that the emmc probably went bad, i was looking at different work arounds and was wondering if there is any unbrickable mod for the note 4 like what Adam Outler made and used for the captivate some years ago, i saw that it put the captivate into download mode without buttin combinations, if i can get it back into downlaod mode i would try heimdall if thats even possible... i have come across the jtag fix as well and octoplus i believe to fix the emmc... what do you guys recommend? any assistance is appreciated. the note 4 was on android 6.0.1 marshmallow
Hello guys. I know there are many topics about this, but I need a help about my Samsung Galaxy S8 (normal one, not Plus or Edge) G950F.
I tryed many method and I saw many videos and guides, but still it doesnt work.
My Galaxy S8 is brand with Tim (Italy) so I dunno if this could create issues or not.
I downloaded Combination Firmware 8.0 but I always have the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1" on Mobile and Fail on Odin... this just can mean that the Combination Firmware isnt the right one.
I downloaded the right 8.0 Tim Original Firmware and tryed with Odin. It pass and everything go well, but still ask me for the old Account Gmail to verify the Account etc even if Odin did good.
I guess that I need to use that Combination first and put USB Debug (as I'm seeing in many videos) but I can't put this Combination Firmware for the error I said above.
What can I do? What is the right Combination file for a Galaxy S8 8.0 Tim (Italy)? I can't now naither turn on the device because it says to me in loop "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software" in a green screen.
Thanks for any help you can give. I just want use back this mobile.
Did you tried to boot in download mode and then use smart switch ? Smart switch can recognize a phone when you boot at recovery. Then try to repair.
Concerning the combination this error mean that the combination file are too old. I had the same issue long time ago ( Device 2 Binary 1).
What mean the Google Gmail thing ? At boot they ask you the mail ? Why don't enter it then ?
Tell me if something worked. Try to find a newer "combination".

I can't enter the Account Verification because the one who used this phone wont tell me the email and psw for it (he was the partner of my mom, but now they fighted and my mom wanted back her's phone.. but now, for vengeance/spite he wont tell us his data). I knew about Combination was old but where can I find the newer one? I am surfing on internet and can't find the right one I tryed many). My Firmware code is 8.0.0/R16NW/G950FXXU2CRED so I need a Combination Firmware eligibile with that.
I cant access the Device to install Smart Switch etc.
You don't need to access to the device. Just download the Samsung utility on your computer and connect your phone thought the download mode.
The name of the Samsung thing is Samsung Kies or something like that. Search for it.
And actually I never saw a phone asking for account verification ... I can't really help if this method don't work.

Or, flash twrp. Obviously the warranty will trip. And then delete everything, also the system. Then install back the firmware through Odin

Hello guys. I know there are many topics about this, but I need a help about my Samsung Galaxy S8 (normal one, not Plus or Edge) G950F.
I tryed many method and I saw many videos and guides, but still it doesnt work.
My Galaxy S8 is brand with Tim (Italy) so I dunno if this could create issues or not.
I downloaded Combination Firmware 8.0 but I always have the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1" on Mobile and Fail on Odin... this just can mean that the Combination Firmware isnt the right one.
I downloaded the right 8.0 Tim Original Firmware and tryed with Odin. It pass and everything go well, but still ask me for the old Account Gmail to verify the Account etc even if Odin did good.
I guess that I need to use that Combination first and put USB Debug (as I'm seeing in many videos) but I can't put this Combination Firmware for the error I said above.
What can I do? What is the right Combination file for a Galaxy S8 8.0 Tim (Italy)? I can't now naither turn on the device because it says to me in loop "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software" in a green screen.
Thanks for any help you can give. I just want use back this mobile.

The combination firmware needs to match the current firmware of the phone. Example if you have CRC7 then you need combination firmware CRC7
Please help, can't find combination file for sm-g9500 for latest upgrades. Firmware G9500ZHU2CRE1
