Note n9005 kitkat problem Fix

hi there people i know ur having soo much issues with the note 3 n9005 version on kitkat and for long time i m facing so meny problems like phone get stuck in samsung logo and crashes and all the above so i have a fix for u guys and let me share it with u if that helps i recently flashed the XSI version which is Saudi Arabian version on my Polish phone and for some how its not giving me any errors for now and its release 0005 something i dont know but for the first time it works and i m using my phone and its not poping any errors...
SO HERE WHAT U NEED TO DO:-
flash the rom via odin (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30198)
if u get a freeze ing the activation just quickly finish the activation if not the WIPE DATA & CACHE and then ACTIVATE.
and dont use ur old or previous google account on ur phone it will bring the backup and the backup will bring the bugs and all te nonsence back to your phone so make a new GOOGLE ID and SAMSUNG ID for app downloading..
and what ever u do dont update your phone it will take you back to your previous firmware and u will face your problems again. SO do this to prevent it from updating wait till the real fix comes out..... got settings - General - Application manager - ALL - scroll down and find 2xSoftware Updates and FORCE STOP them both and when you connect to the wifi it wont update
and ENJOY
Hope that it helps you out as it helped me

N9005 OTA Update failed

Hi, I've downloaded the lollipop OTA firmware update several times now and it fails every time and tells me to try using Kies. I'm away from home for an extended time and only have my phone and tablet for the next few weeks so Kies is a no go. I've noticed the firmware upgrade fails on 27% every time and have googled the issue but only found a similar issue with the KitKat update (never had this issue) my phone is stock though I did root and unroot using TR a while back.
Could somebody point me in the right direction as googling leads to many mixed answers and usually from sites that aren't as credible as XDA.
I'm on 4.4.2 currently and baseband is N9005ZHUENJ1 if that helps.

I have same problem too
Plz someone help us

Bump, anyone?

Try clearing the Data and Cache on the two Software Update entries in Settings> Application Manager > All. Do the same for MDMApp, LocalFOTA, Downloads and Download Manager.
Then reboot and try the update again.
I remember having this issue on my S5 with an update, this solved it. (But I don't know which specific one was the culprit.)

Thanks for the reply, trying it now.

No luck, had same 27% error again.

Got to a PC and it worked first time via Kies. I suggest anyone else with issues try this.

Note 4 (SM-N910H) stuck in samsung logo (solved)

Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,

If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.

thanks i finally got it working now but somehow everything got buggy, game crashes some apps stopped responding and download progress isn't showing on play store and it's the latest firmware for note 3.

Factory reset .
Do not load any apps and test .
Check firmware is for your actual model .

just did a factory reset and it doesn't seem to solve the problem...
