[Q] Help needed bricked my SM-N900 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

Try a different region other than Hong Kong.

Flash again stock with odin and check md5 before

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.

Why You Need Kies after using Odin Flash firmware with Odin
Even if you have this message - "there is a problem with the firmware"
This is also a download mode reconnect cable and Flash

So you are using 3.07 and you can put it in download mode ? Are you then able to have the device recognized by odin ? You are then trying to flash the same firmware that came on your phone stock ?

Did you do a checksum on the file you downloaded? I tried installing a modem on my i337m, same thing odin failed... downloaded the same file from a different source and success... unfortunately there was no md5 number on the file to do a checksum or I would have done that first.... when it comes to stuff like this I alway do checksum if the md5 is provided... (most times it is)

Download checksum tool from here http://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Checksum-Utility/3000-2092_4-10911445.html its free. Then you find the md5 number on the site you downloaded from and use the tool to compare the numbers, typically you navigate to the directory the file is in (this gives you the md5 number, then you copy paste the md5 number from the site, then click the compare button, if they don't match your download is not good and should download again and repeat the checksum.

PIT File n910k note 4

Having major issues with my note 4.
I rooted the device with CF and had no problem, I think tried to install the CWM recovery and kept getting a FAIL in odin.
Tried different USB ports, different cables and 3 different computers.
I read to try unrooting then flashing recovery and then root again.
Once I unrooted the phone was stuck in a boot-loop and I still can't flash anything to the phone, not even CF-Root now, just bombs out with a fail.
I think I might need to re-partition the device, but need a PIT file for the note 4 please. All the phone displays now is a picture of a phone a yellow triangle and a computer, I have tried connecting kies but it says the phone is not supported, maybe because it is a korean model.
Thank you in advance
Ok starting to get massively confused now.
I have managed to flash the original firmware back to the phone, I can now do this everytime without fail via odin
But I cannot flash CF-Root or CWM recovery, everytime I get a fail error, even though i was able to flash CF-Root the other day.
Anyone got any ideas please, thank you in advance
Right I have sussed it, reactivation lock was enabled, disabled this and all working fine

Hello Everyone, i got a note 3 phone
SM-N9005 FCC ID: A3LSMN9005
SSN:- N9005GSMH
MADE IN VIETNAM BY SAMSUNG..
i bought this note 3 phone from UAE and it was with Kitkat 4.4.2 and when i was using it, some apps used to stop and not responding and get a pop-up message "System has stopped" or something like .com.system has stopped responding, also when i open some other apps the phone shuts down, so i turn it on, sometimes it works fine and sometimes it stops responding and shut down many times, so i had to make a full restore factory reset and still have the same problem, some guys told me you have problems with the rom, so i had to look for stock roms to it and found a lollipop rom under this name (AP_N9005XXUGBNL8_CL3643614_QB3415922_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar) and i installed samsung usb drivers just to make sure that everything is okay.
so when i started flashing it by odin it said Fail, so i tried once again but failed again, and i found my phone went to that black screen with (firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again), i couldn't get to my previous kitkat rom after that, but i'm able to go to download mode and recovery mode, so after this( brick) i had to search of how to unbrick it so after that i flashed philz as a recovery mode, and then flashed (All samsung recovery.tar) so then after flashing it, that message of (firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again) is gone, but i got another loop of restart each time i open the phone, it is not booting it is only taking me to the black start screen of android, and after a while it restarts itself.. and then when i tried to flash the same rom once again and connected my phone to my computer, drivers started configuring and so i waited to finish, but it failed it said (MTP USB Device Failed), though i still can see the phone connected over Odin in download mode.
so i had to look for another rom which is a kitkat stock version (N900TUVUCNB4_N900TTMBCNB4_N900TUVUCNB4_HOME.tar) which i found after downloading it and flashing it to my phone that it is for n900, which is normally failed flashing!.
so I don't know if i messed things up or not, and i really don't know what else or more to do ?
please give me your advice so i can restore this phone to its original stats.
Thank You!​
Are you sure the first firwmware you flashed is a full stock firmware?. What is the size?.
The second firmware you flashed isn't for n9005. Try different firmware specifially for UAE.

2. Tell me if you can flash this ONE using ODIN. It's the latest for KSA (Country Saudi Arabia).

Choose corresponding file for BL, AP, CP & CSC. Do not tick repartition. You could also try with the firmware as suggested by joku

You have repartion ticked but without a pit file, so obviously it will fail.

Samsung Galaxy S4-I9505 stuck in bootloop/bricked.

I recently received a Samsung Galaxy S4 from my friend as my old phone broke. When i got it, i tried to go into recovery mode and it didn't work and ended up in going in a boot loop. Every time i try and go on recovery mode it says "movinand checksum confirmation fail", so last night i decided to run Odin and flash new firmware on the device and every time i tried to flash it, it says "There is no PIT partition", so i looked around for some pits and i tried flashing them with the firmware, by themselves and i even changed to 3 different cords and when i do it keeps saying "re-repartition operation failed". I have spent way to long on this and i need help!!!

I tried two different stock ROMS, 1st from sammobile (it was a Optus Australia Rom for GT-I9505) PA and another rom for Samsung Galaxy S4 with BL,PA,CP,CSC and neither of them worked. Yes i used the PDA/PA spot on both Odin 3.07 and 3.12

Well shame nobody can help i need device fixed soon, to be able to contact my manger.
Honestly, I don't think anyone can help here. You want to have a tech look at it, but I believe the flash memory may have failed. It would explain both why you can't get into recovery as well as why you get errors saying there is no pit partition and re-partition failed in Odin.

If the flash memory failed, that would explain a lot, Thanks for your insight
Either the memory is damaged or the pit file is not correct, or both.
Jtag may be the only solution.

Could you provide me with a correct pit File for "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Australia, Telstra"
And if that doesn't work i will learn about Jtag and try and perform it.
I'm not sure which pit would be correct as I don't have this phone. I am in Canada and this phone was not for sale here.

I have tried following that article a couple of times, yet the PIT they provided isn't for my region
Pit files are not usually region specific.

Well i have tried all available PITS file included here:
JFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
JFLTE_EUR_OPEN_16G.pit
9505.pit
CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit
None of them worked, so i don't know anymore might try a JTAG connection test (first time)
I get the exact same error in odin "there is no pit partition" when i try to flash Kitkat rom/ custom recovery/ root in odin.
Yeh, still haven't been able to fix my problem
hi.my phone was same problem.did you fixed your phone?
