[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sentryism:
EDIT: At this point, I'm just trying to flash official firmware via ODIN but every attempt is ending with ODIN: Invalid ext4 image on various firmwares and via various USB ports

Hi everyone,

I recently picked up a Galaxy Note 3 which I soon realized was a parallel import and so I decided to flash firmware from my country with Odin. It failed (I soon realized I had forgotten to enable USB debugging) and my phone currently displays "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I have tried reinstalling Kies, different USB ports (USB 2.0 & 3.0) after turning off USB 3.0 charging too, reseating the battery etc but each time, Kies tells me "The connected device is not supported by Kies 3. Check which devices are supported and try again." except Kies 3 is what the Note 3 uses...

Reinstalling the driver as well doesn't appear to do anything either. The Note 3 shows up in device manager as SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem so it's detected but I can't exactly say if that is correct?

Anyway, any help is appreciated! I'll see when Samsung's contact centre is open next being Christmas and all and since I was only flashing official firmware, my Knox counter is still at 0x0 so my warranty is still in place should the need to use it arise.

If you flash with odin then why do you need kies for? Just put it in download mode and flash it again.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sentryism:
Flashing with ODIN has been stopping on "Invalid ext4 image" every time but I'm downloading another ROM to try out at the moment. Hopefully that should work. I was trying to avoid ODIN since I wasn't sure if repeatedly try to flash a ROM (even official firmware) and having it fail would make things worse.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgantenbein:
Having the same problem

What's the solution? Do you already could find the problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sentryism:
Well, I don't have one yet. I'm still going through various firmwares but the second one I've tried threw up the same error. Basically, I'm just waiting for firmwares to download at the moment. I'll report back if I manage to fix it. I would assume it's due to not having debugging mode enabled but I can't exactly enable it in my current situation.

Here is the ODIN log if it is of any use:

Well, I've gone through about 5 or 6 various ROMs and each fail at system.img.ext4 so I'm at a loss as to if I can even flash back to stock. I plan on contacting Samsung Support since my Knox counter is safely at 0x0 and I've run out of relevant posts to read that I have found.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
It seems that you might have a severe case of bad blocks on the eMMC (internal flash) - that in itself should be enough reason for a warranty replacement.

If you can not do a warranty replacement you should look (inside Odin) into erasing all NAND and repartitioning (there are some posts around with similar info, read a few of those until you understand what you are doing before starting to do anything on that direction).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testmonkey1:
Hello!

I made the switch from iOS to Android a couple of days ago and as well own a Note 3 device. After a couple of days of reading around the forums I decided to flash the MK2 Uk rom since in my country we're only up to MJ7 and I've been experiencing very weird battery drains. I am aware that the update won't likely fix them and I'll have to wait for the next one in January but I hope to at least make things better. Unfortunately today I downloaded Kies3 and I'm getting the same error when I click on the firmware check or upgrade menu (or whatever it is called). I haven't tried Odin yet because the firmware was taking too long to download and I had tl go out for work. Still I very doubt it will work since the official program isn't even working.

tl;dr; Please post in the topic when you find a solution as I am experiencing the same problem as well. Especially if I have to do a warranty replace since I have a wiggly button and I was wondering whether to do that in the first place.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
Possible not a genuine Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testmonkey1:
This is absurd, I said I am new to Android, this doesn't mean I have grown in a pot. My device came with all the appropriate stickers, branding and everything and is purchased through a local carrier. Unfortunately I got one from Vietnam with the wiggly home button but it is a legit device. Anyways I even tried contacting my local support but they were most unhelpful, only forwarded me to an Authorized Service Provider (what an awful chat app, they disconnected me and I even lost the details). I think I will soon try flashing a custom firmware through CWM or something..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I believe KIES 3 in Emergency Firmware Recovery mode does NOT YET support the updated bootloaders - so if your device has a bootloader >= MJ3 it will not be seen in KIES 3. I am still using Kies v3.1 but I have seen a v3.2 available, however I do not know if the problem is solved.

Hi

Just had exactly the same problem as yours, and odin continuously failed just after 'hidden img'. Tried several roms to no avail. Phone was already rooted before the issue, and knox flag was already 0x1. I decided to flash cwm recovery (via odin) from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2454079

The note 3 (SM-N9005) booted all the way surprisingly but with some issues (back button not working/Samsung keyboard stopping). I can now flash rom zip.

Tip: As your Knox flag is 0x0, try flashing stock recovery via odin.

You are right.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thod2:
If you tried to flash a firmware from another country than the original one, it might be that the partition size is not correct. You probably need to flash a pit file that is matching the partition size of the new firmware. Try to search for one that is matching to one of the firmware you downloaded and flash it with the new firmware ( tick repartition in Odin - this will erase your data !!!).

This is just a proposal and I do not know it it will work, but I got that hint from a thread in a German forum about changing from EU version to DBT firmware.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I've got the system.img.ext4 issue as well. Knox is still 0x0 and I was only trying to flash (Odin) a ROM from Sammobile - MI7, same level as the original but XSA instead of TGY. Bloody annoying.

Anyone got the Aussie Samsung support number?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I resolved my issue by DL'ing and flashing the TGY ROM - got an MI7 version so I should be still OK for RDLV. Apparently flashing with the ROM from another country is a problem - Odin passed teh XSA one without an issue, so I don't think it was a corrupt DL. I did see a reference in my searching to perhaps the partitions are different sizes in different CSC's or something.

So, now to enjoy my Note for a few days before rooting... :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I got a reply from Samsung about the question - which might as well have been "F**k you very much for your email" - nothing usable, nothing worthwhile and didn't even give me any suggestions, just a 'we don't support non-Australian phones so go away or we will charge you" response.

Got to admire a company that shafts all their loyal customers with a "don't touch me" hardware (even though it seems clear THAT is why people bought their products instead of Applecrap) and then threatens them even when they ask what is a clear problem with THEIR system.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rijads:
Hello everyone,

1.) I just ordered HTC One from O2 (in Germany), there is no O2 thread, so which version of HTC One am I going to get ?

2.) If you don't know, how can I check it ?

3.) Once I know that, how can I convert my HTC One to Google play in order to get official updates from Google without having to wait for O2 (I won't be using phone in Germany anyway) ?

I am fine with rooting my phone, I don't want custom roms though. (If there is no way for googlep lay edition updates, I probably would be open to revolution or CM).

If you readers have some time and information about it, I would really appreciate you sharing it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1) most likely, an international edition: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223236

2) do a "fastboot getvar all" that will tell you all the info you need about the phone

3) plenty of guides around, find one that looks comfortable to you; you'll need to go S-Off for a full conversion

(If you're going to have to change MID, instead of using the ENG HBOOT tutorial, use this tool instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535365 much easier, quicker, and not dangerous)

also once you S-Off, I HIGHLY recommend DO NOT GO S-ON.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischasworld:
He girls and guys,

first off all: I wish you you all a merry chrismas.

I have a problem with my home button on my Galaxy S2. Physically it seems to work, the display lights up when i hit the button.

On the software side it doesn't work, if I it the button nothing happens.

I'm on latest S2 slim saber by fusion jack.

I would have posted directly into fusionjacks s2 saber mod thread unfortunately this is my 8. post, so I'm not allowed to do so :(

Any Ideas?

Greetings

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Did it work with stock ? If it does, try a dirty flash of the rom you're using now (no wipe), then try a factory reset if that doesn't work, then try a clean install (I.E with wipe) of the rom you're currently using. If you're still having problems, try a clean install of stock to double check/make sure it's not a hardware problem. If it still works fine with stock, either read the rom thread or wait until you have enough posts to post in the thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischasworld:
Thanks for your fast reply:good:

Long time since I ago since I flashed last stock ;) It used to work, even with slim saber kit kat. About 5 days ago it stopped working.

If I enable the navigation bar (=software home key on the touch screen) it doesn't work either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Might be hardware, try the things I suggested. You'll also have ten posts up if you reply to this post of mine ;) Still try those things before you go posting in a dev thread though, that's what's expected around here. Dev threads are really meant for development stuff, and your problem isn't necessarily an issue with the rom (at least not until you've done a bunch of troubleshooting as per my suggestions).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischasworld:
Thanks for your sugestions!

I'll try to flash an old slim saber on 4.3 where the button used to work. Just found out, that the home button works in TWRP.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Probably not a hardware problem then. Yep, good idea. Try stuff like that out, and if it's still a problem, then ask in the thread. Otherwise you risk getting a new one ripped by some people (and not unreasonably) for not troubleshooting first.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mischasworld:
Flashing 4.3. und reflashing 4.4 did it. Home button is working again. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There you go. Sorted it all by yourself. Good work ;)

Whats The Status Of The 4.4 Build?

ROM installs fine and boot up to the point where we can hear the Android system sound. However the system isn't viewable on the phone. Hopefully it will be here soon?

What Is The Difference Between This ROM and Others?

I used to own many Samsung devices and I am going for a Wanam ROM approach. We use a stock base and just keep adding add-ons and updates over the ROM instead of doing new builds. Also there will be a lot of flexibility with the ROM making it your one unique.

Why Is The ROM Odexed?

Well, I am glad you asked. My ROM's promise super stability and odexed Android systems are more stable and faster than deodexed ROM's. Yes you cannot edit deodexed pre-installed applications but I like my ROM's to be stock. All edits will be done when cooking the ROM.
