that's just a soft brick...
If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void
edit:wait,u have custom system status,download a 4.4.2 for ur region and flash it

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

Hey There!
Please provide the error message that Odin displays.
1. Was your phone on Download Mode before you start flashing?
2. If the answer is yes to the above, did you try plugging the USB cable to another port on your PC/Laptop ?
3. If yes to the above, under Odin Message did it display as "Added!!" before you started flashing via PDA option ?

You cant flash that stock ROM coz you have a SGH-I337:
- Sig in and log in Sammobile.com
- Download and unzip this firmware: HERE (Dont try to flash other firmware coz ur phone haven't updates)
- Flash through Odin like in pic attached.
I am using note 3 i got it from hkk and i guess its rooted thats why i am not getting any update for 4.4 so can anyone help me with it
Model no SM-N9005
Android version 4.3
Baseband version N900TUVUBMI7
Build number JSS15J.N9005XXUBMJ3
SELinux status permissive
Wrong section of wrong forum. You need to be in the standard note 3 forum, not tmo (sm900t), and in the q&a/help section, not development.

You will not be able to get the ota or kies updates since your phone is rooted.
The best way to get the latest 4.4 Kitkat firmware is to go to SamMobile.com
and find the SM-N9005 official odin flash rom/firmware for your phone.
Good luck!
reallysorry but please can you tell me how to install it as i'm new in it and there are many issues in my current rom so please and if possible can you suggest me the rom i should install so that i can have all s-pen features

No offense but this is the worst kind of people here...people who root their phones without reading every single important thread carefully, ending up messing their phone up and blaming it on their "new-ness", so we gotta spoonfeed them.
Regardless, go to Sammobile and download an N9005 stock ROM for your region. Then use Odin to flash it. Check using that app above to make sure you have an N9005 bootloader (first four characters are N9005) to make sure you have an N9005 or you'll end up with a brick. Or you could go to the flashable modems thread and flash an MJ3 N9005 modem in Odin.

You have to install SuperSU from the Play Store, and grant root permission for this app to work.
Otherwise it will wait for the permission accepting, once your phone has been rooted.

Setting up Odin :
1. Make sure you have installed the Samsung usb drivers for windows.
2. Run Odin as administrator in windows.
Add the TAR/MD5 file in the PDA section/slot in odin.
4. Now that Odin is setup, put the phone in download mode and connect usb cable.
Power off the phone then press 'home+power+volume down' buttons at the same time.
Keep the buttons pressed till Download mode appears.
5. Now that Odin and the phone are setup, connect the usb cable from phone to computer.
Odin will detect the device and show something like [com:4l]
6. Click START in Odin.
7. The flash will take 5 minutes for a full flash on average
8. When the flashing is complete, DO NOT disconnect usb until Odin shows ' PASS '.
9. The phone will reboot. Unplug usb cable from phone and computer then go into
recovery mode and select "factory/data reset".
That's it. Happy flashing ..!!
The SM-9005 4.4.2 Kitkat firmware from sammobile comes with the Odin Windows utility.
Unzip the zip file from Sammobile into a new empty folder in your windows desktop and
you will see the TAR/MD5 firmware file and you will see Odin after unzip is completed.
You will need to create a free account on Sammobile to be able to download
the SM-N9005 Kitkat 4.4.2 official firmware zip file.
Just follow the step by step instructions above.
Good luck!

Use my app Phone INFO and you will get all need info.
But at first you should install SuperSU if your phone has been rooted.

Hello,
I have a note 4 SM-N910F and I'm from Belgium.
I have upgraded succesfully my note to 5.01 with a Netherlands firmware N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FTPD1BOC1_TPD. However in this firmware the APN for ZiGGO was hardcoded and I couldn't remove it.
In the mean time a new 5.01 for Belgium has become available N910FXXU1BOC5_N910FPRO1BOC1_PRO. But when I try to flash my note with Odin 3.09 I always end up with an error being hidden.img to big and an EXT4 size fail error. Then I need to flash back to the previous firmware to make it work again.
I redownloaded the firmware to make sure (MD5 was correct) and tried to erase the Note before flashing but with the same flashing error.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you

Make sure you are using the latest ODIN version, which is 3.10.6 and run ODIN as administrator.
I'm using latest Odin in administrator mode but with same result (hidden file failed size too big ext4 error). I see in the forum lot's of people face the same problem and they solve it by integrating it with a new PIT file in Odin. However I can't find the correct PIT file for this one..
Cheers

Flash stock rom and when finish then flash custom recovery twrp and phone booted normally.
@toxictoy
Did you find how solve your problem?
Because I have the same problem like you. The only different that my note4 have region code BTU.
I was able to find online a PIT file for the note 4. I used this to flash the new rom and this worked perfectly.
Could you give me a link to this PIT file ?
