Thats what's happening. I've tried the BTU rom, which has newer bootloader. However, the flash did not finish, but the newer bootloader was loaded. So when I went back the stock rom, which has older bootloader, it failed.

How about remove the sboot from the tar file, rename it to .tar and then flash?

Actually, I was on your situation and I did get out of this.

I used Odin to flash the CSC (I took it from Vega) and the Note3 reboot, but this time, the system is unstable.

Now I continued to use Odin to flash the new UK firmware and the Note 3 revives as the new one.

To this experience, I think we should do something to get out of soft-brick by flash the CSC (or maybe Modem....) to get thru.

Hope All of You are Lucky.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayday2:
There is no need to repack to md5 file if you just want to flash to your phone. Using tar file is sufficient.

Had the same problem with my brothers phone when i tried to update it to a UK BTU firmware. Then i googled and found this thread and tried it. I got the CSC files from here: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1taOrK. I flashed the CSC and i was back in business. Then i flashed the AP, CP and CSC file and my brothers phone was back to normal (although everything was being reset).

i am a long time XDA viewer since from the 8525 but lost my account and created a new one lately.

so i manage to get HK Note 3 fixed from a soft brick. (flashed kitkat and didnt realize the poland rom is not for HK version LOL)

I got all the file it needed to make it work since i cant post direct link to my mega account.

so i give u guys the file name to search in google

(1) N9005ZHUBMI7.rar

(2) Note 3 Kitkat.zip

(3) n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.6-kitkat(0113).tar

(4) SweetROM_V7.00_NA6_4.4.2_N9005.zip

i used ODIN 3.07 for the progress... it might work on 3.09 or even better

so here is the procedure

a) unzip all the file in (1) and (2)

b) phone in download mode

c) open 3.07 .

d) pick the PIT file from (1). bootloader/BL from (2), PDA/AP, Phone/CP and CSC all from (1)

e) flash and wait until it reboot.

f) download mode again and use ODIN 3.07 to flash (3) in the PDA

G) after root (shall into a boot loop) . take the battery out and put into recovery (vol up , home , power)

H) make sure u have the (4) inside the root of the SD card (rename to update.zip) and do a wipe/ reset . then flash

i) when is done .. ur phone will boot fully.. then shut off and flash CP again one more time. CP is from (2) and use ODIN 3.07

now ur phone will be up and running

any question let me know

and if u need the file

email me and i give u the link

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wattsja:
Hello all,

Strange issue here. I use TWRP (2.6.0.3) to wipe, do and advanced wipe (all but external card), then format data. I do this cycle 3 times. I then flash a ROM. I boot the fresh ROM and do the initial setup and all is well. Upon the first reboot, it takes 3-10 minutes to boot back to the ROM. From that point on, when you boot to recovery, the DATA partition show 30+gig (which is absolutely incorrect) and because of this, I can't make a nandroid because it says there isn't enough space.

I have tried this with different ROMS, older version of TWRP, formatting and NOT formatting the DATA, restoring a working nandroid and dirty flashing and it happens EVERY TIME. The phone and apps work just fine, but I can't make a nandroid. If you look at the partitions via an app or the partition option in the settings of the rom, the size is correct (both used and free) .. it is ONLY in recovery that it seems to be wrong.

Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Well ....2.6.0.3 is an older version of TWRP ...and it won't restore any nandroid created by TWRP 2.6.3.0...

I suggest that you try a recovery change and flash it via Odin ...

Use the latest version 2.6.3.0.....g

I looked at it so long, I didn't *see* the problem.

I had updated (or thought I had) the TWRP version via GOO.IM, so I thought I was on 2.6.3.0 (it IS the same numbers .. lol). However, as you pointed out, I was on an older version. I directly downloaded the latest version (2.6.3.0) and flashed it .. problem solved.

Thank you .. Many times a different set of "eyes" can make the difference. :)

My 14th month old N7 (out of warranty :() has run into some issues. I left it alone for a few days and the battery ran out. Nothing completely out of the usual, happens from time to time. I picked it up, plugged it into the Asus charger, white battery logo came up, i then turned it on.. Google logo. I then set it down.

Came back to it about an hour later and it was off. I tried turning it on while still plugged in, notthing. I unplugged and tried turning it on, nothing. I try my HTC One charger, nothing. Tried plugging it into a USB port on one of my computers, nothing. I read the sticky thread and tried all of the recommended items. Re-seated my battery connector, nothing. I realized that when i tried turning it on, i'd get a faint flicker / 'snow' like affect, like the screen was trying to turn on, but something was wrong. I tried holding the power button for over a minute, nothing. Tried vol down+power for 60 seconds, nothing.

I would search, but im getting a message that it's down.

Here you go buddy. This is how you can get your note 2 work and it's free and easy. Couple things though you will only get edge data unless in a reframed area (don't really know how far that's progressed in the last 6 months) also tmo coverage sucks inside buildings so you'll want wifi calling if you spend a lot of time in brick buildings. You can try flashing a tmo ROM (without kernel and modem) to get it, but I don't think that works
