It sounds like you had the 4.3 update, because it sounds you like you are trying to install an older bootloader over the the locked MJA bootloader. So the update went through, now you cannot go back to MF9. The bootloader isn't corrupt, its locked and only the MJA bootloader can be flashed through Odin. You'll have to go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search for the 4.3 MJA file to flash to your fone, the cf-auto root, then flash a custom recovery...
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?
I have rooted my Samsung Note 3 with a custom rom running Jellybean 4.3 with clockwork mod recovery. I have tripped knox due to rooting it. When Kitkat came out March 17th 2014, I wanted to upgrade and go back to official firmware with Kitkat to try it out. Since I have rooted my phone to run viper4android audio kernel I am unable to do an official OTA or Kies update. That said I went about downloading the new Bell Canada Note 3 firmware 4.4.2. I was told to flash a Jellybean Bell Firmware first before flashing the Kitkat version to avoid boot loops or other problems. Trying to do so with Odin in download mode ended in failure just trying to flash jellybean stock. Didnt get that far really. It showed a fail in the Note 3 screen to this effect in read this message (sw rev check fail : sbl1 fused 2 binary 1) . Odin didnt load like I am usually use to seeing by unzipping the firmware into a folder and adding it to the PDA field. After I loaded the .tar file (md5) file into pda it checked it and then told me its finished successfully but the next line it said CS Fail. After hitting start it said fail instantly in the odin window and on the Note 3 I did see a bar showing me the progress of install for 1 second until odin told me of the fail. Now my Note is in download mode and can't get past this problem to get it running again! Please any help would be greatfull to getting me past this problem and onto Kitkat or even back to Jellybean. Any other questions you may have I will supply you the info.
Thanks

I havent been able to do anything. I was on Jellybean 4.3.2 custom rom with a custom recovery and tried to flash it back to a stock version of Jellybean before the update to Kitkat. I didnt get that far to even try flashing Kitkat because flashing Jellybean Canadian stock rom was unsuccessful with the errors I mentioned in my earlier post. Now I am stuck in download mode and unable to flash using odin.

I think you can power if off by pressing the power button for a few seconds. And then flash a custom recovery, reboot and flash a Kit Kat custom rom via Odin or Custom recovery. Hope it helps.

Knox was tripped. You said it yourself. Go and read up on Knox.
The answer will be very clear afterwards. It's quite clear to me.
Also, don't take this the wrong way.... but you probably should not have done any of this my friend. Your skill level makes this obvious.
I suggest not getting a Samsung phone next time as Knox is hard to get around (it's possible, I was rooted on 4.3 and I am now on 4.4.2 stock flashed with Odin and Knox is still 0x0).

what's the CSC of your phone? you should try the one newer vesion of 4.3 cause if it's an older firmware it refused flash
Hello there. So, this is my actual situation: I have a galaxy s4 on stock Lollipop. Due a few issues, I decided to try to downgrade to kitkat I flashed via Odin a stock kk fw, but unluckyly I Haven't considered Knox bootloader, and now the phone stucks in bootloop. I tried to enter recovery, but it doesn't even work.
Is there any way to save it? Actually, I'm downloading stock lollipop firmware to flash it from Odin. Could it work ?
Thanks everyone will give help
Yes, flash the latest stock ROM in Odin to get the phone back to stock.
Guys I need some help, I recently flashed a stock lollipop rom for my rooted note 3 N9005, and after the setting up the phone, I had a notification about Software Update and in the details it says in the end that "After updating, you will not be able to downgrade to old software because of updates to the security policy". I want to apply this update but I am a bit worried that I may not able to downgrade to kitkat and jellybean, can I apply this update? I'm sorry for the noob questions.
And by the way, how do I downgrade from stock lollipop 5.0 rom to jellybean 4.3? I tried flashing a rom that came from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461929 it passed the Odin but It won't even boot to recovery, it keeps rebooting and is stuck at the Galaxy Note 3 logo with Recovery Booting... and it still has the "powered by Android" text on the bottom.

Once you update to stock Lollipop, there is not going back. It has something to do with the bootloader. You are stuck with Lollipop, I suggest you get used to it and embrace it
I really don't see any advantages that Kit Kat could have over Lollipop on this phone.
Wait nvm, It's Jellybean you can't downgrade to. You CAN downgrade to Kit Kat, but make sure you wipe data in recovery to avoid bootloops.
