Solution for soft-bricked N9005 after flashing Hong Kong's TGY firmware

I am posting this to help people who ran across the same problem I did the past 24 hours, which drove me crazy and it was quite difficult to find any info on it.
I bought my N9005 on eBay from a Hong Kong seller. I just updated it with Kies and noticed that sammobile.com has a newer MJ8 firmware, so I figured I'd just download it and flash it via Odin.
Kies shows my mobile as XME (Malaysia region), but I guessed it should work just fine, and boy was I wrong.
Moments after trying to flash it, it failed, but it did manage to flash the beginning of the firmware, which was the new MJ bootloader. That newer bootloader does not allow any other firmware with older bootloader be flashed on the phone. Not even Kies's emergency recovery was able to revive my phone which was stuck in emergency download mode.
When trying to flash I got all sorts of errors, such as:
invalid ext4 image
and
CHECK FAIL : fused : 2 , Binary : 1. (when trying to install the older XME Malaysian Firmware on top of the new bootloader)
To make a very long story short, after almost giving up and start waiting for a Malaysian firmware with the new bootloader to be released, I ran across the UK MJ6 BTU rom which does have the new bootloader too and decided to try flashing it. To my amazement - this worked and my phone is back to life! phewwwww!
This is a download link to the BTU MJ6 firmware:

my brick story in short is------ brought note 3 sm-n9005 from ebay from a Hong Kong based seller. pics of ap, cp and csc are attached. rooted with chainfire's and installed cwm6 by chenglu. A few days back, flashed bobcat rom version 2(mj7) and later 3( mk2 ) without problems. Was looking for different themes .yesterday flashed balckchrome from s4 forum that also went smooth. Unfortunatly flashed another theme for s4 which was not meant for andriod version 4.3. Pretty stupid .went into bootloop. Had nandroid backup tried to restore but couldn't.
Flashed another rom mk2 from cwm. again bootloop .took the odin route and flashed stock deodesk mj7 by Djembey from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2461929
Failed again. Then downloaded latest mk2 from sammobile website. The same error (invalid ext4 img) in short failed on all ccounts. Have run out of options. The last thing in mind is to wait for some new bootloader after mk2 which might rescue me as mentioned in this thread that new bootloaders might help... Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks

@pyarajaani
Try this:
1) Get X-Note v6 custom rom.
2) Use Odin to install CWM recovery.
3) boot the phone into CWM recovery and copy the X-NOTE rom (MK2 based) to your phone or card.
4) Do a complete wipe/factory-reset from CWM
5) Install the X-NOTE rom from CWM
And let me know how it went

Why did you suggest X-Note but not another ROM?

3 reasons:
- It's MK2 based
- I am using it
- It's excellent
And besides, if the method I suggested works, he can always replace a ROM later on if he wishes.

Nope, I didnt mean what is the best rom to use.
The problem is that how to bypass the bootloop issue.

No need to mess with kernels.
Were u able to install cwm via odin and then boot into cwm?

yes...I did that n installed X note rom from cwm. BUT I suspect that cwm is not fully functional. Why I m saying this is that I have a nandroid backup of bobcat mj7 rom...which cwm isn't able to detect even. ..nevertheless. .cwm is installed.

1) Which CWM version do you have installed?
2) Did you do a full wipe/factory-reset?
3) Did you try also advanced formatting (of system partition together with the full wipe) and then install the ROM?
4) Did you try all the above with the latest TWRP recovery instead of CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467255

Try to flash this file by cwm first and then flash any rom after you want

Hello,

After flashing, I also flashed the bootloader and modem mentioned by Dr.Ketan. The phone is stuck at the bootscreen with an error seandroid.
RECOVERY BOOTING Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warrenty Bit. I used cwm recovery before flashing my ROM and my phone was already rooted with cf autoroot before flashing this rom.
I wanted to try this rom in my phone and I'm a noob. Can somebody please help me with this ? It'd be a great favor.
I'm a noob, please help me with the appropriate files/instructions so that I can start using my phone. As of now, my phone is still stuck at the boot screen with that error.

Alright, now that my n910g is stuck with that I tried installing some nameless rom and the screen doesn't really work. I need to use Spen always even to click on the dial button.
Can you suggest any good rom for Note 4 N910g?
I really need to give my phone a fresh start as this will be my first time to flash my phone.
Please help!!

Listen, Dr. Ketan's note 5 port L12 with S6 edge features is based on android 5.1.1 Australian "COH4" baseband version. So first download and install that stock firmware having COH4 baseband version using odin. Here's the link for that: www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56424/N910GDTU1COH4_N910GXSA1COH4_XSA/
And after installing this, root your phone, then install CWM recovery and install dr. Ketan's L12 version rom which you have downloaded. Your phone will work fine after that.
Baseband version of your phone plays a very important role in determining which rom you can install on your phone. For example if u liked and downloaded a samsung stock modified custom rom that has baseband version say "PQR" and suppose if your phone has baseband version "XYZ" then you cannot install that rom on your phone. To install that rom you will first need to flash the stock rom of PQR baseband version in Odin. To check which baseband version your phone is running, go to (settings >> about phone/device >> baseband version). Look at the last 3 or 4 alphabets.

Used coh4 baseband which you said. But could not find the proper root file. Please help with the root and cwm files for 910g which work. Then i will try flashing dr.ketan rom

Yes I tried, now I am using the same baseband you have mentioned which is Australian, now the touch doesn't work well but with s pen it works fine. What to do ?>

Downloaded the stock from from sammobile and my phone was able to boot successfully. But the problem is that ever since, I tried flashing twrp recovery to flash dr.ketan rom which did not work. My phone's touch is really not working well. I have enabled touches in developer options and confirm that my s-pen works fine but when I touch the phone, it gets detected 1 cm below where I actually touch. This problem might have been created when I flashed twrp recovery because that was the first time I saw this issue.
Please help how to fix this ?

SAMSUNG Blocked wifi on kitkat 4.4.2 stock roms???

Hello 2 all !
i use the stock roms for my S4 ,most offen i use kitkat 4.4.2 versions.Today i reflash my phone and i get this stupid msg on notification : '
""Security notice' stating - 'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required'"" .. and this one is blocking the wifi to off, and i cant get it to ON the button rest grey after rom booted. .
I reflash many time with diffrent roms versions (only kk 4 4 2 from sammobile) the probl is the same on every rom i flash !!
I think is releate with KNOX crap but im not sure ,The only way to have wifi on kitkat again is to flash another kernel after i flash the stock rom !!! I really need help with that because i need some stock version for daily use.
I try kies ....same results.... i try odin..same results ...wifi dont start ! I delete wpa_supplicant from data/misc/wifi ..nothing.... no wifi !

I do not think I missed the point. Your original post only mentions KK but not LP which is why I suggested LP. The last line of your original post even states the ROM in use on the phone.

No worries. Thank you for clarifying the situation. Your English is fine.
I don't know which version of Odin you are using but I always use Odin 3.07 because I have never had a problem with 3.07.
Do you have a pit file for your phone? Flashing the pit file with the stock ROM in Odin might solve the problem.

This is coz KNOX blocked the wifi access.
SOLUTION:
1. Flash via ODIN the latest android 4.4.2 version to your device: THIS ONE.
2. Root it via ODIN with CF-Autoroot.
3. Using Root Explorer (for example) delete all the KNOX entries: GUIDE.
4. Reboot your device. You should have wifi now. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset your flash counter to complete the job. Done.

Searching Odin S6 Edge Plus Nougat

Hi.
My 928f is not working so good.
Ive tried many firmwares but the battery is not working great. I now want to try to make a 10000% clean flash.
The battery was allready swapped.
Best way would be
A complete Nougat with Nougat Bootloader and Nougat pit File. Hope someone can give me a link ?
A really need a complete Nougat package with everything for a complete 100% clean flash !!
Thanks and sorry for my bad english :-/

if you dont mind i say this in here, but PIXEL rom V4 haves great battery life.
Had the same problem on stock rom, batterydrain. Pixel rom solved it for me.
basically if you flash stock frimware from odin, it is a clean flash when you have factory reset ticked. correct me if im wrong.

Ok.
Is every odin firmware with bootloader ?
First i want to bring to to a clean new stock

N9005 doesn't work with custom roms?

Hello,
I have a N9005 that I'm tryin to install a custom ROM (I have another one already with Norma v29 working perfectly). In this one I flashed the original 5.0 firware and then tried to root, isntall custom recover, custom rom, etc., as I normally do. With this phone I can root and install custom recovery but every custom ROM i tried I always have a bootloop on Galaxy Note 3 screen (tried Norma, Phonesis, etc.).
I can reflash to an original ROM but don't understand why it doesn't work with a custom ROM.
Can any one help me? I even tried to change bootloader on a specfific tutorial for Norma v29.
Thank you in advance!

Boot to download mode and check the model first .
Is this a used phone ??

Hello. Yes is a used phone. The model is a SM-9005. The roms I'm using are for this model. I tried again a Lolipop 5.0 stock rom, then root, then recovery (until here everything works). Then applied Norma V29 and i'm stuck again at the Galaxy Note 3 screen, the blue led starts to blink and then the phone restarts. Really can't understand. Even tried the same memory card from my Note. Well the only difference is that one is 16GB and this one is 32GB. Any stock rom work perfectly but didn't want to use them.

Can it be that the internal memory size is causing the issue? is the only difference....can someone help?

Well my original phone is a 32GB. Don't know why the hell I was thinking 16GB... so most weired. If someone could help will be great. It's working with the stock 5.0 and rooted with CM-AUTO.

before flashing custom firmware you should enter the recovey and make complete format for both cache and data partitions.
after the firmware install it might take the system up to 10 minutes to boot.

Thank you for the answer. i'm doing all the steps (I changed roms on Note 3 for some time now). This one startups on the Galaxy Note 3 Screen, the led starts to blink (like 4-5 times) and restarts himself. So is not waiting time. made factory resets, all the wipes, even a script I found for fixing EFS. When I flash a Android 4.4 or 5.0 stock from SamMobile just works.

hala adel, recheck the twrp version you downloaded is for 9005? check the md5 of your download..
9005 is the international version so its europe, US phones are different..
hope it helps, I can't think of anything else.. read in twrp for note 3 thread also

Suggests you are using the wrong TWRP version .
Read the roms instructions/ search thread .

use TWRP version 2.8.7.0.
Most custom roms do not support v 3.x.x.x

I thought I'd clean up the phone.
I installed via ODIN official fw = Lollipop.
Then root + TWRP 3.1.1.
Next installing custom rom RR 7.1.
ERROR
I resolved as follows:
Installing "CP_N9005XXUGBPB1_MODEM.tar" + "BL_N9005XXUGBPB2_BOOTLOADER.tar"
Now RR installation is successful!
But "not SIM" (can not enter PIN)
Solution:
Override file "libsec-ril.so". Here is: Root / System / lib / libsec-ril.so
Done - it works!

It helped me. Will it help you too?
