Hi everyone. I accidently flashed a 4.3 rom over a 4.4 one and my note 3 was bricked. I flashed stock rom via odin and got the phone alive and running again but I found out the recovery was missing/recovery bootloop. I tried flashing cwm through odin but it didnt work.Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance. -sorry if my english is bad-

Which recovery are you referring to, the stock one or custom? Stock is hard to messed with except in extreme cases.

Thank you for your reply.I dont know because I have never seen the recovery after i flashed the stock firmware.After I flashed firmware via odin should it be stock recovery or custom? I wish to obtain cwm recovery for my phone.

Flashing stock firmware will also replace any custom recovery you had with the stock one.
I've been using only CWM 6.0.4.7 by Chenglu. If you want to use this one, choose the correct version for your phone and flash using odin.

Hi guys
Really struggling to find the Stock Kernel for my Note 3 and how to flash.
From what i've read on other forums, everyone seems to say you just flash stock ROM via Odin however this has proven not to be the case when i have flashed.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

so what your saying is that you tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN and the kernel did not revert back to stock kernel ?

Yes that's exactly right. to check if it was a one off i'm currently flashing stock ROM again via Odin as we speak.
it should work that way but if it still doesn't work, go into recovery and WIPE all and then reflash Stock.. that should work

I seem to be having an issue with downgrading my S5 G900H Exynos to Kitkat from Lollipop BOAD. I've tried 4 different stock Kitkat firmwares from sammobile but all of them cause the phone to hang at the Samsung logo however I can flash back to stock lollipop BOAD and it works fine again.
ODIN gives me no errors when I try to flash kitkat or lollipop and infact both gives the "PASS!" mark what should I do?
I downgraded to KK from LP the other day, and ended up stuck at the Samsung logo too
Tried factory resetting, didn't work
The only thing that finally worked was flashing the same KK ROM again over the top of the one that got stuck at the Logo
Once I'd done that, it booted

You might need to flash the PIT file for your model S5, maybe the partitions are different between ROMs for that specific model
Be sure to get the exact PIT file though or you'll brick it
PIT file and KK ROM in ODIN at the same time, it will flash the PIT, then it will flash the ROM

You could flash a custom recovery like TWRP, but unless someone has made a flashable zip of the stock firmware for custom recovery it'll not work
You could flash a custom KitKat ROM from TWRP
The only method that works for mine is flashing CF Auto Root, to gain root, then using TWRP manager from Google Play to install TWRP Recovery
This will void your warranty though

Mine is similar to that too. I have to install CF Auto Root first and then install Flashify and then install TWRP via flashify img file to gain custom recovery
Might be worth flashing a custom KK ROM, then trying to flash stock over the top after 100% wiping everything & formatting from TWRP advanced wipe

I'm working on that now mate. I appreciate your assistance so far.
No bother, Lollipop not your taste?
I went back to KK just to see what everyone was on about, lasted a couple hours and flashed back to LP, some people get great LP performance, some bad, for me LP is way better

Stupid question, but you did factory reset after upgrading to LP?
KK leaves behind rubbish files which cause battery drain, I got the same after first upgrade, but after a reset, it has been great since
Performance is definitely better with LP this end too, but you're not alone, the majority who upgraded say KK is way better atm

Yep bud.
I decided to install a custom lollipop rom Zephyr Lite to address the battery and performance issues, if it works out well I will use it as my daily driver.
Nice one, fingers crossed

I installed a custom rom called XtreSoLite with Aroma addon and so far I'm happy with it. I tried Zypher Lite but it didn't work, rooting failed and had all sorts of problems so I'm glade to say I'll stay with XtreSoLite for now.
Thanks for your help mate
Good stuff, I was gonna suggest that exact ROM weirdly, I haven't tried it yet but heard good things about it
I want to make a Factory reset in recovery mod,and show me this message in left corner,what can i do?
I have 5.0.1 and i tried to flash 4.3 back,i don't can odin ghive me fail..
Please help me.
I don't think you can downgrade from LP to 4.3.
What error are you getting in Odin?
That warning appears when you flash a custom recovery like CMW, TWRP or Philz. That's normal and just a little visual annoyance.
But if you didn't flash a custom recovery try flashing with Odin the last Kit Kat Stock firmware for your country, because a downgrade from Lollipop to Jellybean is pretty big in terms of what Samsung did on our phone.
Ignore it. It isnt worth your notice :')

Hey guys, I'll keep it short. I was rooted, installed TWRP, running Simple Rom and was just feeling to flash erobot. Flashed it doing full wipes and then rebooted, cool. Got to the samsung logo and within a second back to the note 4 screen. Okay I said, maybe the file I downloaded was corrupted or I installed it wrong. Did it over again, this time trying a few variations in the aroma installer (not installing xposed) thought maybe that was the problem. Bam same issue.
No worries I still had the old simple rom on the sd card. Went back with the same install and what do you know, that rom is now in a bootloop as well. Tried flashing through odin but I always get a nand write failed to start or something like that. Tried 3 different usb ports and same issue.
Am I missing something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So you are using the Exynos model? Last I checked there is this OJ5 bootloader which can't be downgraded from!

Yes I'm on the exynos model. So what did I do wrong, I went from lollipop to a lollipop rom. I didn't go back to KK or anything. What do I have to do?
guys help me im having bootloop because i was trying to install the su suser .in my note 4 Note 4 N910C lolipop in tw recovery still boot loop? because i want to root it .send me a maasage thank you
Anyone?
Did you flash a kernel for your variant after flashing the ROM?
No but that is my next move today, had a feeling it might be the problem, I'll try it and report back.
Oj5 bl doesn't let the flash of older rom even lp 5.1.1 older then oj5 but erobot 12 and 13.4 are newest then oj5 so it must be something else like the supersu v2.65 have issues with some costum kernels try to flash v 2.45

Had the same problem, solved it by flashing cf auto root using ODIN.
can't you just flash the previous rom again??
Enter your recovery and flash your "old" rom
