Bricked SM-N9005, how to fix

Hello,
I bought a refurbished Note 3 phone on Amazon.
I tried to install Android 5.0 as described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-t2983873
This failed. I tried to install a new PID file: HLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
Now the phone is bricket:
I only get the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please
select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
This doesn't work because in Kies I get the message:
The model information cannot be verified.
Contacted Samsung, they said, they cannot help me.
Any idea what else I could try?

Where does Odin fail ??
Why flash a pit file ?? Its probably why you have a brick .

Well the question why flash a pit file is easy to answer:
I followed the infos, given at android pit:
how to get android 5 0 lollipop on the galaxy note 3
(I cannot post the link)
"If you're experiencing an ext4 error message, you need to download the correct PIT file for your device (Google your model number and "PIT file" to find one). Then check Re-Partition, click on the Pit tab and then the PIT button and locate the file. Then continue."
I experienced an ext4 error message.
But my question is:
What can I do now?

You should ask Android pit whatever they are or take to a service center.

Boot to Download mode and report the exact model of your device.
Refurbished samsung phones are disguised most of the time.

Well, what should a service centre be able to do that I am not able to do?
I am electrical engineer and experienced embedded system developer.
I just need some hints.

It's OK.
Try one more time to flash via odin using this file and make sure :
- Before flash, completely shutdown the phone, take out battery for 10min.
- Use the included PIT file.
- Check also NAND Erase All in Odin options.
Good luck.

Thanks a lot for your hints.
But it didn't work yet. Error messages:
ODIN:
Re-Partition operation failed.
Phone:
Erasing user data partition
PIT FAIL: TOTAL SECTIONS (30777344)
Any idea?

Try flashing stock firmware with Odin. You can find firmware from many websites just Google it but make sure you use the proper firmware for your phone

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime - Odin Mode Firmware issue, recover is Kies and try again!

Hi all,
I have tried almost everything to bypass my old device.
I have used Odin with TWRP, and it says its FRP locked.
As soon as the screen comes on(no matter what key combo I press) this is what I see:
ODIN MODE (MULTI CORE DOWNLOAD)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G361F
CURRENT BINARY:Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FRP LOCK: ON
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
Secure Download : Enabled
RP SWREV: S1, L1, M1
Underneath there is a message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
I have tried Kies (all versions), I have used the .tar files in odin on the AP tab but I get a prompt that it's FRP locked (in green text) along with the message above. I cant get into the download modeof the phone. Is there any way around this? Probably not but worth a shot in the dark.
Appreciate it if you can find a solution.

SAME. Did you fix it somehow?

J7 Boot Issue

I was trying to reflash back to stock and guess I've flash the firmware of an wrong model or something.
Now it shows me only a black screen after the Samsung logo. I can boot into recovery however there is no display (I can see the MTP enabled on my computer).
Also, I've tried to reflash other versions from my own region, Odin mode refuses to flash them.
Odin mode reads:
Code:
PRODUCT NAME: SM-J730G
Current Binary: Custom (0xd)
FRP LOCK: OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
WARRANTY VOID (0x030c)
RP SWREV B:-1 K:3 S:4
Trying to flash from J730GUBSACTC5 J730GZTOACTC1:
Code:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: -1, BINARY: 10
Which bootloader is compatible with binary -1 anyway? Please help.

I have the same, any update?

Nope, my screen is fake/replacement and samsung's bootloader cannot be downgraded. What a load of bull.
I'm guessing 0xc or 0xd is the bootloader version so I'll try finding a firmware that has this. If this is a screen problem then this device is p much toast since I'll not be replacing it again.
