[Q] n900 stuck on Samsung logo - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I've been facing this problem for a few months now. Hope someone can help. I am on vn rom v14. While on this rom I had flashed the clear warranty zip to reset my knox counter to 0. I was curious to see if it would work. Therafter I decided to flash stock firmware. After the flash I was stuck at the boot logo. So then I booted into stock recovery and wiped data factory reset, wipe cache and wiped dalvik cache. The phone then boots up however it doesn't receive any network signal. It can only connect to wifi. Base brand version and imei are also lost. The only solution that I found was to flash the vn rom again and everything is fixed. I seem to be stuck on vn rom as this is the only rom that picks up signal. Tried many other roms and have the same problem. Eventually I have to return to vn rom to use my phone. Can somebody please help me.

After you flash your stock firmware (you lose your imei )
You should install this zip file from twrp or cwm

Sounds good. An easier method for me was to wipe every single partition in recovery and flash a 4.2.2 .zip file. After that, it's pretty easy to get everything back in place.
Yeah I flashed 4.2.2 today too. Very easy process, same like upgrading to a ROM but you will have to Wipe and Factory Reset as you are downgrading.

Boot loop after flashing stock ROM for other country.

Hi guys,
My ROM was a singapore base firmware. I think is NE4.
I use PC odin to flash in the NG2-SEE version and everything works fine.
However, when I tried to flash back the singapore version, I ended up in a boot loop.
I have tried to flash the NG2 version for singapore that has been just release but it still stay in boot loop.
The only way to get out from this loop is to flash back the NG2-SEE version.
Anyone know how to solve this?
thank you. (^з^)

Did you clear the cache and done a factory reset from recovery before trying to flash any rom?
No, All the ROM are stock ROM. By doing a factory reset I will lost my data.
The only issue arise is NE4(MM1)->NG2(SEE), then back to NE4(MM1), without the need to do factory reset.
If I were to flash back to NG2(SEE) when boot loop happen, it is ok.

Null IMEI after flashing with Odin

My S4 GT-I9500 was upgraded to lollipop 5.0.1 by the service centre guys and it's not supported by my official android policy.
So after googling a lot i found out a you tube vdo for downgrading lollipop 5.0 to kitkat 4.4.2 on S5 and as shown i did the exact steps i.e. downloaded firware from SAMFIRM & used ODIn to flash it and the entire process went fine, no errors.
But after booting up there is no mobile network connectivity and IMEI number is unknown , IMEI SV is unknown.
Is it possible to make the phone working again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello sumanjit,
I faced this problem today! i was on Lollipop and then tried to downgrade it to Kitkat but that erased my IMEI number. To get it back I again flashed the stock 5.0.1 Firmware. And for downgrading it have a look at this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9500-easy-to-downgrade-official-t3036258 . You need to be rooted on 5.0.1 with a custom recovery.
All the best!

I had Philz Touch recovery. In it select- Wipe data reset.
Then you will be asked to - 1) wipe data reset
2) wipe clean install (something like this).
So select the clean install option.
Boot to download and flash the firmware.
Note: I tried the same and got my IMEI nulled. And I was suggested to follow the same procedure as displayed in that post. I haven't tested the yet. I am still to restore the EFS partition and will report back with any probable solution.
If helped press thanks!
All the best!

Sorry, i got a little confused with the last paragraph. Did you face the IMEI nulled issue even after doing Philz Touch recovery?

Yes my IMEI was nulled. The main problem is the new Lollipop bootloader. But many members claimed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9500-easy-to-downgrade-official-t3036258 that after following the exact steps they successfully downgraded to KitKat. Now I have XXUFN12 firmware so I am still downloading UUBGNJ1 to check whether it works.
All the best!

Problems since lollipop DOC4 (SM-N900w8)

I have a SM-N900W8 canadian note 3. I just installed new DOC4 lollipop rom via odin. I did clean install by wiping data. I root with CF-Root and flash latest TWRP. Everything seems to work perfectly until i try to made some small mod to add datamobile button in quicksettings using this thread. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370
After it boots up to a black screen and a pop up shows up for nearly all of my apps that says they are not responding so all I get is that and a black screen. I reflash the rom via odin without wiping my data, re-root and everything went back fine and my mod works. ???!! I now have my datamobile button.
Later, i made a nandroid backup with TWRP. After reboot i got the same errors.... So i Reflash-rom, re-root, everything back to normal.
TO make a short story, everytime i access recovery or flash something in recovery or modify my system partition i got this errors....
I suspect having partition mismatched ... i don't know...
Any idea ???
Any help appreciated...
Which version of TWRP did you use? As far as I know, the latest only supports up to kitkat (4.4)
Maybe this is what causes your problems?
That's what i thought, I'm using the latest one (2.8.6.0). I ask other users in another thread and they said this version is working flawlessly with lollipop...
I have the same phone, and I flashed lollipop DOC4 using Odin yesterday, with CF-auto-root and TWRP 2.8.6.0.
I just tried (litterally minutes ago) adding the data toggle, and it worked, but I could not reproduce your problem.
Which version of TWRP did you use? The hltecan one or the hltexx?

1. Are you sure you installed correct TWRP? The correct one for your device: HERE.
2. Seems that mod for datamobile button doesn't work for your device. Reflash rom, re-root and don't install that mod. Try that update firmware for some days and tell me how it works :highfive:
I used HLTECAN 2.8.6.0. When i was on 4.4.2 NB7, i was using the same file and i had not problems at all. If you re-read my first post, i said my data toggle is working fine now but i needed to re-flash the entire rom without wiping data to get rid of the many apps errors. I guess i need to reflash everything from scratch... Will use another USB wire and another USB port. Maybe it'll help... Or maybe i should try another root method ??? I used CF-Root for SM-n900w8...
I suggest trying with hltexx, since it is the version I used, and I encountered no problem at all so far.
Let's check for any other difference between devices. I got :
Baseband N900W8VLUBMJ4
Bootloader N900W8UBUCNA2
PDA Version N900W8VLU2DOC4
CSC Version N900W8OYADOC4
Stock Kernel
