Hi,
I tried to downgrade my Note 3 with CSC VIA to Kitkat VIA. Downloaded and flashed firmware from Sammobile. Didn't work. failed in ODIN though it finished.
I tried it again and now i can flash Kitkat with ODIN "passed" but I'm stuck in bootloop. Full wipe and cache clean in recovery won't work. Tried it a last time with Kitkat DBT version (debranded) and added a PIT file by Darklord for 1DBT. ODIN says passed but the bootloop still is there. Download mode is still available so i see some real chance to get it done.
Is it possilbe to debrand to DBT that easily or shall I stay on VIA? I never tried the PIT file for DBT with VIA firmware. Anyone has a clue what I might try to get it working again? Ah btw. Recovery and Download seems to be perfectly fine and Knox isn't triggered.
Your input is highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Try this:
1. Full wipe first (system, data, cache and dalvik)
2. Flash the VIA Kit Kat firmware via ODIN unticking "Autoreboot".
3. Take out the battery and pull in it again when the flashing process finish.
4. Boot in Recovery and make full wipe again.
5. Reboot your device and it should boot normally.
6. Tell me if it worked for ya
Hi,
thanks for you input. I tried it - still the bootloop. So I made a try with the current version (installed before). This works - most likely because I'm unable to clean Dalvik with the standard recovery.
Anyhow in the end I'm not happy with the outcome because of the bluetooth issues of the new version. Anybody has a suggestion how to downgrade sucessfully - I'd happily install a CM12.1 as well but a nightly without installation advice seems to be a bit too much for me.
try flashing MODEM with NON-HLOS, I think you have corrupted the EFS.

You can flash TWRP recovery if you don't care about KNOX and follow my steps above :highfive:

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
how do you root n900w8 lollipop rom ?

Hi guys
I recently flashed OD4 Stock Lollipop to my phone via Odin with PIT file. It flashed fine but device randomly freezes, pc doesn't detect it (although downloading mode is fine) and the worst is DEVICE DOESN'T WAKE UP SOMETIMES. It just doesn't respond to buttons. It randomly reboots as well. My device had no issues since I flashed via Odin. What can I do???? I have backups from an aosp rom and a custom Touchwiz.
Device : I9500 With 32GB SD
Stock Rom and Stock Kernel
No root >> Can do it if its necessary
Thx.

Well, you could a another solution that for others is risky but it's not, if you follow the steps carefully. Flash your correct firmware (with the correct pit for this firmware) with odin 3.10 and check f reset time, auto reboot and Nand Erase All (you will loose ALL your internal data), re-partition (as you have PIT file), and Phone Bootloader Update. When flashing process is finished, the system will reboot to stock recovery and will appear an android repairing, after it it will reboot in Samsung startup but it will not boot, so you must boot to recovery with power+volup, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache again. Then reboot and wait, it may take up to five or six minutes approx.
i leave attached an odin version that is woking fine.
I hope it helps.

Alright man I did everything you said and IT WORKED! THX VERY MUCH!! I had a 5.0.1 Chinese Firmware on my PC's hdd (4 files + special PIT) and i flashed it with your Odin and it went good. But I didnt have the Google Play Store on The CHN firmware so I restored my Prism backup and its working flawlessly now. Before flashing the CHN, the backup had the same Lockscreen issue. Now I have the CHN bootloader also. But when I flash the latest OD4 from sammobile (1 file + PIT from another site) It just doesnt flash (FAILED!). So I tried with NAND Erease etc.. then it worked, BUT THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN! What is wring with the OD4? Im on Prism now (flashed CHN before restoring). I want the stock OD4 because its updated. Do I need to flash OD4 with 4 files or with a special PIT?
(sorry for bad english)
Thx

Try flashing OD4 this time ticking auto reboot, re-partition, bootloader update, and f reset time, but without flashing the pit file, only the tar.md5 (if so) in AP. As i know the pit for china differs from other countries cause that, google and some bloatwate, and as far i know, OD7 firmware doesn't come with an seperate pit file. You must factory reset before doing this.

@BlackMonkey It happened to me several times. What I had to do: flashed the stock ANE2 rom from sammobile (it allows to download for free, but it is slow). Flashed the BL and CP from ANE2 (I don't remember where I found it but it was on google. Actually, you should try the next step first, as I am not sure that it is required). Rebooted in recovery mode. Wiped cache. Rebooted. Root with towelroot. Install mobile odin. Flashed rom with option everroot. And you got lollipop in knox 0x0. Once in lollipop, mobile odin as failed each time for me, the same as you describe. It could be an issue with rom that use AROMA which are not supported. I had to use flashfire which works great.
ps : i did that as I wanted to keep knox 0x0. If you don't, you should install TWRP.

Thank you for your answer. I alredy did exactly this because i wanted to use again my phone and didnt see other solution. I hoped for a solution without a factory reset but it was necessary. Lost some picture and messages and have work for some hours So at that point be warned:
DON'T USE MOBILE ODIN WITH LOLLIPOP!!!
The problem is MOP doesn't support Lollipop.
So if u want to save data flash via odin the same rom but stock.
Hi,
Need help in fixing my Note 3...Please
I have Galaxy Note 3 N9005 with android 4.4.2. having ROM model N9005ZHUENH4_N9005ZZHENH4_TGY
I downloaded Android V 5.0 ROM from Sammobile with country TGY same as that of already working ROM.
I started the mobile in download mode and burned the ROM but it failed at cache.img with invalid Ext4 error
I downloaded many other ROMs for N9005 from sammobile and only few loaded successfully. However all the ROMs flashed successfully result in inactive wifi.
So I am now running mobile with no wifi.
Please help...
What do you mean rom burning ?? Heating or flashing ??
What is your phones original firmware ??
i'm also facing this problem when i flash Samsung Official Firmwares (kitkat & lollypop) on my Note 3 SM-N9005.. after flashing Wifi button becomes irresponsive so that i cant switch on my wifi..
But When i do flash any custom ROM ( like blisspop, Dark Lord , Phorensesis etc) , this wifi problem is not occured..
if u got any solution , plz post it.. thanks in advance

Hi XYAN78, I had the same isse as you, I also upgraded from kitkat 4.4.2 to the latest TGY rom through Odin, I finally fixed it. Here are the things you can try :
1. Try wipe cache, data from recovery then shut down and take out the battery, then startup the phone again. You may try a few times.
2. If 1. not work, try do :
-wipe data/cache in recovery.
-flash rom througn Odin( don't tick the auto restart check Box), when odin flash finish, reboot into recovery and wipe data&cache. Shut down and take out the battery.
-boot into download mode directly, and flash the rom again.
(You may ned try more time this cycle in order to to fix it. Good luck)

Hi leohk,

actually i cannot reload my actual ROM TGY 4.4.2. Few working ROMs as given in my last post are loading successfully.
Can you tell what TGY ROM you have successfully flashed and from where you downloaded that . as i have tried almost all tgy roms from sammobile... I have noticed a zip file error in the TGY ROMs downloaded from sammobile

Originally I was on Kitkat: N9005ZHUENJ1 and then flash the Lollipop N9005ZSUGOI1, I use Winrar and when try the zip file test also failed but after installed the latest version of Winrar, it passed the test. btw, when Odin do the flash it will test the MD5 check also, so if it can pass the MD5 test step in Odin flash process then the file should be fine.
below is the Lollipop Rom I flashed, and I followed the instruction there also.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57235/N9005ZSUGOI1_N9005OZSGOI1_TGY/
I remember I tried the process around 4-5 time before I can get the wifi issue fixed. I have a 16G HK version Note 3.
Hi leohk,
I tried the method but it is not working. The TGY ROMS gives ext4 error at cache.img. other ROMS as in my above post loads but without Wifi. So, still without Wifi...
my mobile is 32GB HK version maybe that is the reason.
I also noticed mobile heating up after flash/factory reset is it normal??
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi All,
After wandering over the internet to solve my problem i finally resolved it.
I changed my approach to problem instead of focusing on wifi to work with ROMS loading successfully; i focused on ext4 error while flashing with original TGY stock ROM.
After googling and going through many forums I found the solution that worked
The solution was to flash the stock TGY ROM with pit file "CSB_signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0805" and voila...
This pit file is available on the internet.
Initially I loaded original TGY stock ROM 4.4.2 which worked and Wifi not greyed this time.
Afterward I loaded TGY ROM 5.0. The second time without pit file and it was fine.
After re-partition with CSB_Signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0805, what are size of the partition of System, Cache and Hidden of your Note3?
My 32G N9005 is with same wifi problem after flashing latest TGY LL stock ROM. I found System partition size is of 2.2GB but the size of System partition derived from PIT file should be 2.9GB.

Hello, I had the same problem.
Before you flash restore your phone to factory default ....settings.....general ......
or by stock recovery mode ...... https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...s10-into-recovery-mode-download-mode-0194521/
and perform a factory data reset .
Then I flashed with Odin 3.13. only the AP_File. (AP_G975FXXS3ASH1_CL16487975_QB25171324_REV01_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar)
This is the latest official Firmware for Samsung 10+ (Exynos).... SM-G975F_1_20190805141127_n52ujmrqr9_fac

I'm just doing this with this advice here, and only running the AP_File as advised. Hope the S10 doesn't get bricked because I have not loaded other files.
Also seems Odin is in state, SYSTEM, which is now so far 20mins and don't seem to see more progress
for those who updated the german beta (android 12), remember to unlock your bootloader in settings, because the knox get triggered after detecting different system files and the original bootloader, if u unlock the bootloader, it lets odin rewrite it and get the PASS
