Odd bootloop (Odin)

So, I've had horrible battery and performance issues. After several factory resets, and lots of troubleshooting I decided to try flashing the stock firmware via Odin. it complete with the below log, but now it boots all the way to the lock screen (not the setup wizard) and then flickers for a second and reboots.

Nevermind. I didn't realize that wouldn't wipe data and I still needed to do it in recovery. After doing that it boots fine.

hi,
where did u get those firmware's from? from sammobile? cause, they seem to be several at the same time. are u using the sm-n9005 lte note 3? where is your phone from, what is the firmware and baseband? maybe you can download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en and take some screenshots with the information asked and upload them, so we can see where to go from there
(thanks @Joku1981 for showing people the app in other posts to help people)

[Q] Have been trying to upgrade BTU to VOD 5.0

Hi,
I'm in the UK and have a Note 3 (SM-N9005) and as there is no BTU 5.0 ROM yet I was looking to move to a ROM from my carrier (Vodafone), without ROOT or tripping KNOX etc. This doesn't appear to be a straight forward flash with ODIN. Has anyone had success with this? I've tried the N9005XXUGBOA5/N9005VFGGBOA2 but it appears to fail at the end of the process.
Any advice or help?
Kind regards
SONiKz

You are trying to do a stupid thing. Why you are flashing branded firmware for one device that is unlocked? Try other unlocked firmware if you wish Lollipop (For example: Poland one).

I had the same problem. Its because of size mismatch. I don't remember which ROM I tried to flash and then failed, but its because the ROM is meant for a Note 3 which is not your size, I mean 16 gigs, 32 gigs etc. The ROM which I was able to flash successfully on mine was Polish one I think. So you need to know which ROM are meant for 32 gigs, and which are for 16 gigs. It's not mentioned in sammobile.com, and I don't know where else you could ask/ know that either.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to easily identify the ROM size. I assume that it may have something to do with PIT files/Paritioning. But I don't think there is a real resource for PIT's. In the event anyone has a Vodafone 32GB Note 3 I could do with a copy of one(assuming they're not device specific).
