Hey guys
I have a Hong Kong Note 3 N9005. Yesterday I flashed the 4.4.2 sammobile update to my phone using ODIN 3.09. I had auto reboot and f.reset ticked. The ROM was put in AP and I hit start. Then I received the error Invalid ext4 Image. Turns out that Hong Kong versions of the N3 cannot install European ROMs. Since then I have not been able to boot my device into android. I just loop into download mode telling me it detected a firmware update. Kies was no help.
The update DID update the bootloader, so now I cannot go back to stock ROM. I have tried a few things. I tried flashing the stock Hong Kong ROM MK1, it fails. So i found a guy that fixed a similar problem buy removing the aboot.mbn file and repacking the ROM. Tried that too and the ROM flashes but it leaves me in a bootloop. Phone turns on says booting recovery then restarts. I also tried cf-root in an effort to flash another ROM still not working. I cannot get into recovery mode no matter what I do.
It seems I have run out of ideas and am reaching out for help.

Hello thanks for replying.
Only problem is I cannot get into cwm or twrp. Any advice on what I can do to try to get CWM or twrp working? I can flash with ODIN. But with the CWM I tried it still just boot loops and does not allow me to get into recovery.
Thank in advanced.

Same Issue here. I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

Got this response from MrAndroid12 in another thread I'd started:
"This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine."
I don't know how to add a .pit file though.
I am certain the bootloops are because it flashed the new bootloader. I think your best option is to wait for a dev like indie to release Omega V7 and try to flash that through Odin.
Or if you can extract the different partitions from the original thread you can try push them one by one with Odin.

It is the bootloader yes. But it NEEDS the bootloader to be able to boot in to KitKat. And there is no downgrading once you've installed the new BL.
Best option is to re-flash via ODIN again and not wait 2 weeks for a Dev to modify a custom ROM...

Hello,
I have an unsuccessful firmware update.
First flashed the last stock rom, cf-autoroot. After it I try to flash the CWM, and this is the end,
Now there is no boot loader, no recovery. I see the "Firmware update encountered an issue...".
The knox is 0x1, Writeprotect enabled.
The only thing is working on the phone is the download mode, but every attempt to flash in Odin fails. (aboot.mng..Fail)
I tried to flash another bootloaders, repartition with pit file, but not works...
Done it on other PC, usb ports...
Now I know what was the wrong with the installation, but I need a solution for this situation.
Please, help me...
You will have to flash through ODIN Kit Kat. You cant come back to 4.3 or 4.2.2 if ya flashed android 4.4.2 and u updated the bootloader. Select one android 4.4.2 firmware in SamMobile for you and update ur phone :highfive:
Thanks for the reply...
The last firmware I flashed was 4.3, and I cannot reflash it.
But I will try a Kit Kat, which one is good for me? I have an unlocked phone and my country (Hungary) does not have it yet.
Can I flash it with knox 0x1?
Thanks for the advice, the phone is working now....
The whole story:
- the phone had 4.3 custom ROM before.
- I flashed the new version with 4.4.2: new recovery, modem and ROM.
- From here I had no sound. I tried to flash everything 3 times, an no sound.
- I searched for this, threre were many good advice, I tried some and the phone not booted.
- Downloaded the latest Samsung firmware (I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF), flashed and no sound.
- extracted the modem.bin, flashed, and flashad the ROM again, sound is good, I was very happy.
- CF-autoroot, I saw it was working
- Flashed the CWM recovery, Fail in Odin and...no boot, no recovery, only download mode.
- Flashing the original downloaded firmware (I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF) is failed. I don't understand, it is not downgrade...
- Flashing a new Kit Kat (I9505XXUFNB9_I9505EURFNB1_I9505XXUFNB9) was successful.
How can I use a custom ROM again?
I am afraid, if I make an error, cannot flash again the same, I have to wait a new one?
Hi,
I encountered error during flashing of XXUGNG4 official firmware using odin 3.09. It did not completed successfully. I have tried to change usb port but still got the same error. I managed to flash the custom recovery and restore my previous rom backup but got a warning 'kernel is not seandroid enforcing' and when my phone boot my camera and sound (volume,etc) is not working.
Question: Can I flashed XXUGNG4 official firmware even if my custom rom is XXUGNG8? I really need to go back to stock official firmware in order to fix the problems I encountering on camera and sound
Really need your help...
Thanks

Hi,
You cannot flash an older version of your firmware without encountering problems.
You need to flash XXUGNG8 or later.
Look here:

Don't forget to wipe data and cache before and after flashing the firmware

I will try to download the XXUGNG8 firmware and hopefully it will fixed my problems and back to official firmware.
Hi Guys,
After rooting my phone, trying different Custom Roms and reverting to stock a couple of times, I now have soft bricked my S4, or at least I hope it's only a soft brick.
I upgraded from JB 4.3 to Kitkat 4.4 and TWRP recovery a couple of months back. I live in Australia and as yet we don't have access to Stock Kitkat 4.4, so I flashed the United Kingdom XXUGNG8 (BTU) firmware. The phone began to lag and a couple of the functions refused to work, so without thinking I attempted to flash back to JB 4.3.........I know, I know you can't do that, but tat the time I was frustrated with it's performance and I didn't think before I acted.
Anyway, first I was unable to enter Recovery mode......nothing worked, the phone would just boot to the error screen. I was able using Odin 3.07, T erase all, flash a .pit file and obtain a "pass".
Get pit for mapping
Firmware update start
RQT close
Res ok
Removed
Remain Port.......0
All threads completed (Success 1/Fail 0)
Then when I attempt to flash a stock rom, it fails every time at "System Write".
I now have discovered that a "Phil's Touch recovery .tar" can be flashed, but nothing else.
When I boot the phone up, it hangs at the Samsung Galaxy S4 iGT9505 screen.
What have I done wrong guys, have I completely corrupted the phone, or is it recoverable? Please Help.
Regards.
You can't revert back to 4.3.
So flash a custom rom or a stock 4.4.2 rom and you will be fine.
