S5 G900F update failure: FAIL! (Size) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been trying to install the 5.0 update on my G900F S5 using firmware files from sammobile according to my region but Odin fails (trace bellow). Did anybody manage to get over this? I've seen people saying that this requires using a PIT file in order to perform a repartition while others argue against it. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Later edit:
The issue was that I've used a different carrier's firmware (I've used Romania Cosmote firmware instead of the unbranded version as it was not available at the time), thus having an incorrect partition table. Looks like using firmware from another region (even carrier) can require changing the partition table (using an appropriate PIT file). This might be helpfull for other people in the same situation.

How did you start your phone in download mode? Via power menu or did you hold volume down and power button?
Very important is:
use only the two button combo.
In Odin untick autoreboot.
Start windows task manager and stop all Kies processes.
Use only the original Samsung USB cable.
If all that not works try another USB port.
And do not remove your phone from PC before Odin says PASS.
When Odin shows pass, remove the phone and hold the power button until it reboots.
I tried different ports with different softs and different data cables but no results.
Instead, i tried install nee from my laptop and it worked from the first time.
So, i supose it's from my pc's drivers.

hi,
where did u get those firmware's from? from sammobile? cause, they seem to be several at the same time. are u using the sm-n9005 lte note 3? where is your phone from, what is the firmware and baseband? maybe you can download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en and take some screenshots with the information asked and upload them, so we can see where to go from there
(thanks @Joku1981 for showing people the app in other posts to help people)

[Q] Have been trying to upgrade BTU to VOD 5.0

Hi,
I'm in the UK and have a Note 3 (SM-N9005) and as there is no BTU 5.0 ROM yet I was looking to move to a ROM from my carrier (Vodafone), without ROOT or tripping KNOX etc. This doesn't appear to be a straight forward flash with ODIN. Has anyone had success with this? I've tried the N9005XXUGBOA5/N9005VFGGBOA2 but it appears to fail at the end of the process.
Any advice or help?
Kind regards

You are trying to do a stupid thing. Why you are flashing branded firmware for one device that is unlocked? Try other unlocked firmware if you wish Lollipop (For example: Poland one).
I had the same problem. Its because of size mismatch. I don't remember which ROM I tried to flash and then failed, but its because the ROM is meant for a Note 3 which is not your size, I mean 16 gigs, 32 gigs etc. The ROM which I was able to flash successfully on mine was Polish one I think. So you need to know which ROM are meant for 32 gigs, and which are for 16 gigs. It's not mentioned in sammobile.com, and I don't know where else you could ask/ know that either.
Yeah, I'm not sure how to easily identify the ROM size. I assume that it may have something to do with PIT files/Paritioning. But I don't think there is a real resource for PIT's. In the event anyone has a Vodafone 32GB Note 3 I could do with a copy of one(assuming they're not device specific).

[Q&A] Looking for Note 3 SM-N9005 Stock Rom 4.4.2

Hi, I'm looking for the Stock Rom for Note 3 SM-N9005 Stock Rom 4.4.2 KitKat for my father, because he wants Bluetooth.
I already found N9005-DBT-NG1-201408 from samsung-updates.com
But if I use Odin 3.09 to flash the .tar.md5 file, I got an error: Invalid ext4 Image

I do not know what problem causes it or how to solve it, but really I just want one Stock-ROM I can install so I download now:
/download/n9005xxugni4-aut-4-4-2-switzerland/ from samdownloads.de (2hrs download time)
and
/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/XSI/N9005XXUGNJ2.html from samsung-updates.com (4hrs download time)
So what I want to know, is one of these the right stockrom for Note 3 SM-N9005 (in Austria)? If not, can you point me to the right one?
Or is it possible to fix Bluetooth in 5.0?
Its just very frustrating to wait so long, to find out I was downloading the wrong Rom -.-
I hope I did everything with asking the question and I'm in the right subforum.
Also I can't provide links yet, so if you want to check them out, please google it.
Oh yeah, I can install from Recovery too...
UPDATE:
I installed cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk and that rooted the phone and now it works. (Just needed a new tastatur and sometimes error messages come along, with the google apps crashing)
I will install the other roms, since the crashing part is annoing. (flashing gapps should work to)

Try with another firmware version, or use PIT file too
Where do I get a PIT file and another Firmware?

Try before with pit file. Use frija to download the firmware and pit. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-checker.3910594/
Then, when you open that program, go in the 3 dots, and go to settings and there you should find an option to download pit file too. I don't remember how it's called, unfortunately. But you should find that. At the end, you will get the firmware splitted likely in 3-4 pieces with pit.
Found a newer one. Now it works. Thanks for the hint to search for a new one.
