Guys hello.
I have rooted and successfully flashed custom recovery and custom firmwares on my Note 3 (9005 Qualcomm LTE), however the last flash (stock ROM 4.4.2 N9005XXUENB4) attempt with Odin (v 3) failed at the end of the flash process ( hidden.img.ext4 -> FAIL! (ext4)):

This is possible coz the firmware you have installed (maybe you upgrade your bootloader flashing that custom roms) is newer that the one you are trying to flash.

Are you using a branded device? Where is your device from? Do you know the CSC of your device?
Go to Sammobile.com and take a look the firmwares GNI4. Download and flash it. Done.
HI

T-mobile of what country?

WEIRD Brick? problem - cannot understand it

Ok, so I was running TWRP 2.8.5.0-trltedt and CM12 with its own kernel. N910G.
If I go to TWRP and install a custom Sh1twiz ROM via ZIP + nadia kernel it's fine and it works.
If I go to TWRP and wipe System, Dalvik and Internal Storage and then go into Download Mode and use Odin 3.10 to install an official ROM (N910GDTU1ANK3_N910GOLB1ANK3_N910GDTU1ANK3_HOME.tar.md5) from Sammobile then I get a:
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> sbl1.mbn
<ID:0/004> rpm.mbn
<ID:0/004> tz.mbn
<ID:0/004> sdi.mbn
<ID:0/004> NON-HLOS.bin
<ID:0/004> boot.img
<ID:0/004> recovery.img
<ID:0/004> system.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> modem.bin
<ID:0/004> cache.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> hidden.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Ext4)
The phone screen says:
Volume size is too big 92160 < 204800
ODIN: Invalid ext4 image
At this point if I restart the phone and try to enter TWRP (recovery) it doesn't work anymore, it goes into another screen that says:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" etc.
If I go again into download mode and flash TWRP with Odin the flashing works.
Then, if I try to enter recovery it says something... I cant read it cause it happens too fast, but it's something related to "formatting", "cache", "wipe".
Then the phone restarts by itself and the phone seems to work.
However, if I go again in download mode and try to flash the original firmware with Odin, I get the same FAIL! (Ext4)... so this means the core problem was not fixed by TWRP.
I heard I may need to flash a PIT file with re-partition clicked?
But where do I find the right PIT file for N910G?
The thing is that even if the phone seems to work I am afraid that later I might find out that it doesnt work properly... after spending hours installing everything on it...

make sure you follow all the steps, remember you have to unzip the file you downloaded then you will be able to flash it via Odin, remember to click on PDA, and Re Partition have to be disabled, only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time should be checked, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:
make sure reactivation lock is uncheck at security settings...
