sm-n9005 help - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone, bought my wife the above phone (from china) and it arrived but wont update ota or via kies, i have also tried odin3 but to no avail.
phone says it is xsi csc (uae region) and i have tried to update is several differnt ways but no joy.
odin keeps failing whatever rom i try to flash to it.
the main problem is that she plays this specific game that will not install on it because its apperntly not compatable (i have the exact same phone and said game runs fine on that)
this has been kicking my butt all day and i really could use some help.
many thanks
dai

Is it even original ? Because I've seen the word China somewhere...

Your EFS is warped, flash THIS and it'll fix it for you. This happens at random and isn't really a user error IMO

Umm not sure if it can be done without, you could try and if no good you'd have to use one.
Get yourself an sd card. You can't access internal memory so you are screwed until you get one...
You need to also tell us what version of Android you are on as the can be a deciding factor in what you need to do... Some things that will fix one version of android won't help the next... If you don't know what this means you should do A LOT of reading before trying this stuff again, read about Kitkat and Jellybean...

You right, i should read about it alot more.
I rooted my Galaxy s Advanced already with a noob guide, so i fould it would be easy to do it again.
Guys, im verry frustrated now, im a real noob who fold he could do this easily, without thinking or reading anything i tried to flash my demo unit.
Now i have a huge problem because this phone is not mine.
Anyone who has a solution, the thing earlier pronounced in this topic didnt help.
Get yourself a stock rom and flash it using ODIN and stock recovery might do the trick but make SURE you flash the CORRECT ROM.
Correct rom depends on what you had running. If you where running kitkat you MUST flash kitkat again. If you had 4.3 you better stick to that until it's up and running again.

Ahh, not you did not mention you had a DEMO unit. That changes everything.. As DEMO unit's don't have radio's in them so you cannot flash a modem from what I am aware..

DEMO units don't have radios?
That's new to me.
So Samsung actually goes through the effort of separately manufacturing them....weird Sammy.

Yeah they don't have a radio on the MB - guess it's to stop people actually using the device early etc -- They use specially adapted firmware also

In my country (India), they just keep the Snapdragon version (official is the Exynos) for DEMO pieces and just rely on the region lock to keep people out.
I tried so hard to buy one of them, but nobody agreed. Finally got mine from overseas.

[Q] cant unbirck help please

so my friend download an app and didn't read anything about it before he installed the app. The app was suppose to replace the home launcher but he was suppose to install another app before he installed it but he didn't. I have tried Odin, Kies, and Heimdall with no luck. I have tried them on different computers and with different cables. His phone is a SGH-I337, yes it is rooted but only for one app that was installed that doesn't affect anything. But now it only go to the download screen with the android man even when booted up normally it only fails the [auth] on Odin and it wouldn't even connect to Kies. Any help would be GREAT, he is only giving me 2 day to try and fix it for him then he is going to buy a new phone. Thanks in advance EVEN IF ITS JUST GUESS I'll still give it a try.
What app did you try to install and what firmware are you on. Odin should work if you use the right firmware.

If the phone is running either the MK2 or MF3 baseband then my thread here may be able to help you. Check ted77usa's post (the last reply on the first page) for how I fixed my phone.

Never heard of best buys security. Worst comes to worse you could take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience and they can flash it.

Please HELP, Deleted my whole OS, and internal storage.

Hi guys...
Now today was a total disaster..
my phone was getting slow and i decided hey, lets root the phone and install some new custom roms so i can get rid of them unessessary programs..
WELL... this is where it went totally wrong.
After trying to wipe the phone before installing the new custom rom and gapp, I by accidently removed the _WHOLE OS_ on the phone, and now all that I can do with it,
is boot it and when it boots it gets stuck on the Galaxy S4 screen at the very beginning..
Now I have no clue what to do and how to get my phone working again...
If there's anyone who could help me to get it up running again I would appreciate it Alot, and I mean ALOT.
My phone is Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Please someone help.
And as I said, the phone is totally empty ( I guess.... ) ?
Can you get into download mode? You need to go to Sam mobile and download your firmware and then use Odin 3.09 to flash it to your phone?

Hi mate,
It happens to all of us ...
Do you have installed a custom recovery yet? if so just pull out your external SD use an adapter or other phone copy the desire rom and gapps
put it back in your phone enter recovery and flash....
if not custom recovery do as @parkerj7uc said

yeahh, i can get into download mode, but the thing is that I don't have an SD card, so my phone is completely empty, nothing on my phone and I don't have a SD card to copy anything to...
So I guess i'm totally screwed then?...
I once made a mistake like this and seems like I didn't learn from it, but I got a link from someone to download the file from and just flash it with odin and the phone started working again.
Is there a way to still do this? and if so how do i find a link to get it from :s
I'm panicing here

OK Google on how to check a md5. Your md5 on your download needs to match the one in the website you got it from. It could be a bad download. If they match I recommend re doing the process. If they don't then you need to download it till they do.

Download odin. You can find it in sammobile.com or google it.
Flash it.
