Flash twrp go to advance wipe and wipe (system/data/cache/dalvuc cache/internal storage)
Now Go to download mode and flash stock firmware.
Hopefully it will flash without any errors.
After flashing go to stock recovery and do factory reset+wipe cache)

the method gives me the same result

Yes you can flash any custom rom just make sure you backup EFS from twrp if anything goes wrong.
But i suggest you download different firmware from another region csc.
If you remember what was your orignal csc country code when you bought the phone for example if it was (BTU UK FIRMWARE) then download the same one from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares
Try restart pc and use different usb cable.
Try odin version 3.10 is very stable.

reporting back something odd happened
in the end the error remained the same and rom was not booting , then i re-flashed twrp and boom the original stock rom booted .... how was that possible ? )))
ps: thanks for the help at least the stock rom booted and everything is well ...

Probably Something was wrong with your stock recovery ( DM varity varification ) or maybe (DRK device root key).

I had some issues in the past with kitkat and flashing roms so i ran across this. It helped me.

Have I bricked it? (Flash via ODIN don´t work)

Hi folks,
today I was messing with some things on my phone, flashing etc. Then I got SAMSUNG logo and system wasnt able to load. So i did factory reset and wipe things (included my backup files - punch me in my face!). So I choose to flash stock rom via ODIN, but it didn´t complete, and after reboot i got that screen that I have to connect phone to Kies and do restore, but Kies can´t recognize my device. Also, I´m not able to enter TWRP. I have acces only to DOWNLOAD mode and to that screen which says that I have to connect phone to Kies.
My device is G900F, country-Slovakia.
I tried flash custom rom from sammobile - PDA: G900FXXU1ANH6, It goes thru system.img, boot.img, recovery.img etc, but when it is on hidden.img it says following
<ID:0/004> hidden.img.ext4

You are attempting to flash TMS firmware, but what is your device's CSC?
You may need a PIT file to flash with it.

1. That .pit file is good but you have to flash the correct firmware for it: HERE. Follow the steps of that thread too for flash the firmware correctly.
2. Take out the battery of your device when the process of flashing finish (wait 10 sec.). Put it in again.
3. Boot your device in Stock Recovery and select: Wipe data/Factory reset.
4. Select "Reboot System Now" option then.
5. Root it then with that method you posted b4.

Are you using a branded phone (vodafone) or unlocked one? Coz, i think, you are flashing wrong firmware for your device.
Its an unlocked N9005 (LTE)
As far as I know the ROMs which are for 16 gigs devices won't get flashed on 32 gigs devices and vice versa, so you probably need to find a ROM which will match your device's size.
This is a 32G device
The Roms I've attempted (and failed) to flash:
N9005XXUEND3_N9005VNZENC1_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5

Is there a ROM (any) that I can I can flash via ODIN which includes a bootloader such as CMW? If I install CMW by itself, it'll be successful. But It'll go through a boot loop.
Maybe a screwed up the bootloader of the SM-9005?
Try a newer base, those are really old ones! Try OF3! Can't say of which country, as I don't know which are for which sized devices! I am not sure at all, but I think ROMs for UK devices are pretty popular, so I guess those might work.
You can simply flash the deodexed OF3 which comes as a zip package from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
It's basically a stock ROM with few added features and deodexed. If you don't want deodexed then you can try flashing a pre made ROM from alexandar's topic, it's same as stock ROM with even less features from the previously mentioned one. I am suggesting you these because it's better to flash a ROM which will work straight after download rather than trial and error method of sammobile ROMs.
I don't think you can flash "QS-N9005-LP-FINAL-OH3.zip" in ODIN, doesn't show up

Rename .tar.md5 rom in .zip and extract all images from it.Delete hidden.img file then compress everything with forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 then flash every tar separatly.

Course you can't! You need to flash it from a custom recovery, TWRP for example.
Argh still not wanting to do it I thought grabbing N9005ZSUGOH3_N9005OZSGOH3_N9005ZSUGOH3_HOME.tar.md5 (matching the other 2 versions) would maybe help

Should I touch any additonal ODIN options such as Phone EFS Clear, or Phone Bootloader Update, or Nand Erase All?
You don't need to touch anything. I always flash only the PDA (AP), that's enough! Don't know what's going on here, but I am pretty sure it is because of the size issue.
Actually I got a new error message "Volume Size is too big 614400 < 712704
(Note this a 32GB) What should I do to get space? I happy to wipe the internal storage at this stage, just not sure how
Both up volume and down volume (with power/menu give me ODIN modes currently), a bit slight different
Down volume goes into download mode (Odin mode), and up volume goes to recovery mode. Both are quite different actually.
If you are willing to do a wipe then do it properly. Flash the custom recovery first, TWRP. Then go to Advanced Wipe and wipe everything (except external SD), but BEWARE, this will wipe EVERYTHING. You won't even have any ROM installed. So until you plan to flash a ROM basically you will have a brick. Do take backup of your needed stuffs before wiping, photos, musics etc. in your PC and use Titanium for apps' backup if you will so.
Then try to flash through Odin again (have you found same country's firmware matching your device? I mean I have a device which was assembled in UAE, so all the UAE ROMs work, so check that). If Odin still fails, then have that zip ROM (OF3) downloaded beforehand. I am repeating once again, if you do what I said above it will erase everything from your phone, so please be informed about that before proceeding further.
I flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar, which according to ODIN, it was successful. but when I reboot (volume up/menu/power). Says "Recovery is booting.." but shows nothing.
Okay, got in into it.
Advanced Wipe? Tick everything in TWM? and Format data?
Thanks heaps for the support
Weird! Take the battery out for 10 seconds, re-insert, then press Volume Up and Power only simultaneously (No need to press Menu), it should boot right into TWRP.
