Thank you so much!!!!

Worked perfectly for my Bricked Hong Kong 32 GB SM-N9005 after trying to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4.2 via Odin.

:(

HI! im from argentina, here the note 9005 is not frequent to have. here comes the note n900 and this model dont have problem whit de firmwares, we can put on the mobile any firmware independently of te region.

this is different whit de 9005, i dont knew, and whit the note 9005 of HONG KONG whit 4.3 put on a firmware of different region, one whit the mode 9005XX 4.4 , ODIN give a ERROR . and the phone dont boot.

so.. y flash a correct firmware the 9005ZZ and the phone boot normality. but i have baseband unknow and IMEI NULL:

i try everything but dont have results.

i wanna try whit your mode. can you help me?

to flash the archive you post, what i have to proceed?

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FeralFire:
I don't think that the 'unknown baseband' problem can be solved by simply flashing another firmware. There are a lot of threads about this problem and I would suggest you to look them up.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] giovjs:
i read so many posts, and try everything but dont have any results. i dont know how arrives to this thread, one user whit the same problem use this firm for back to normal.

i just wanna know how can i do, for flash mi note 3, whit de firm posted. because, i just know do it whit the archive .tar, only ONE archive

HI Feralfire

Just wanted to ask some noob questions:

1. here's my n3's infos

- sm-9005

android 4.4.2

baseband N9005ZHUENJ1

i assume that my n3 is definitely compatible for this flash. right?

2. currently, the *2263# (the network code to lock 4g, though i am not sure if this is the right code since I havent accessed that for about a year now knowing that it is not working with my n3 version) is not available. my brother has a note 3 with a different baseband and this code is working with his n3. the question is this: if I flash my n3 with this, will it enable the network code? I just wanted to have an option to lock 4g...

3. since i have the newest baseband version, will this still work?

Thanks!

Hi and thank you for this post. Just want to make sure if I can use ur method on my HK sm-n9005 32GB. Please see my attached pic.

Thanx
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ahmed Shaikhani:
For all those users who have flashed their N9005 32GB HK and are facing Null Baseband and Null IMEI issue should flash their modems with "N9005XXUGNG1-files-modem.bin-boot.img-recovery.img-BTU" WITHOUT wipe data/factory reset via Odin. This will bring back their phone to normal. I cant post the download link because I'm a new user.

P.S: Setup your samsung wizard before flashing the modem.

Thumbs up if it worked for you.

With the AIO Toolkit there is an option to flash te kdz files, enter the number and select the kdz file
[LG Optimus 2x] Wooby:
there are options: one ======================================

SmartFlash a Stock ROM and/or BaseBand

======================================

SmartFlash WILL fully wipe your device, maybe including the Internal SD also.

Download (or extract from KDZ or zip file) the smartflash-able files.

These will be:

a. One AP.bin file (ROM) and/or one CP.fls file (BB).

or

b. BB only that consists of four fls files:

(R375_SIC.fls, AENEAS_FW.fls, slb.fls, psi.fls):

Depending on what files you have downloaded/extracted:

Press a or b to continue with flash instructions, X to cancel.

how get the files
[LG Optimus 2x] stv0309:
5 - Extract LG KDZ and/or AP.bin file.

Use this to extract a downloaded kdz file to get the baseband (fls file) and/or the ROM (bin file) to flash with SmartFlash.

Additionally you may need to extract the bin file to separate the included partition images like chefs need to cook their new ROM.

Itsmesoul hit me up on Google hangouts and I'll troubleshoot with you and see if we can resolve your issue.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

You locked the phone in the hardware settings not software, so a Rom is not going to clear your issue. Before you go tearing it apart let's troubleshoot it.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

Try a ##786# using the emergency dialer if you can reach that part. Not sure where it is locked, can you send a screenshot? Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Well I assumed you had a Sprint account. I read somewhere that the last 4 digits of the last Sprint number used on the device would unlock it. Since you have another SIM, that can't work. Can you somehow get the phone number of the previous owner and try it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ccpyle:
I'm setting App Ops for applications such as Facebook, etc. and after a reboot or an extended period of time, the settings revert to default "all on". Maybe someone else has seen this problem or has an idea of how I can troubleshoot to see what is modifying the settings? In all my searches, I cannot find anything related to this problem, but I find a lot about App Ops not being in Kit Kat.

ROM is Liquid Smooth 2.37.

I tried posting to the LiquidSmooth thread, but I'm new... so... fail. Hoping this is more generalized than just this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Doc Ames:
Same problem here

I'm pretty sure it IS an issue with Liquid Smooth. I'm having the same issue. I've used it on other ROMs without issue. Even unchecking "show notifications" in App info doesn't survive a reboot. I'm on version 2.37 as well. Let me know if you figured anything out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ccpyle:
Unfortunately, I never found any fix. I am no longer on Liquid Smooth, but rather grudgingly went to a stock variant (CleanRom 8) to match my wife's stock ROM. At least it's CleanRom. :laugh:

At least I know I wasn't going crazy. Thanks for the reply.

Do you know how to use heimdall?

Use it to have a look at your pit file and compare it to the one in the CSC zip. See what all is different.

Or just post your pit here.

EDIT: Just noticed that you have a 16GB version. I don't know how to help you there, man. You need a completely different pit file. One that is designed for 16GB. But since that model was only launched in Hong Kong, I don't think you will find one from outside, unless somebody can make one specifically for you. I have been trying to learn to do that, but as of yet, I can't.

Without a proper pit file, your only options are either wait for the Hong Kong Kitkat version or try installing the Sweet ROM.

Well thats an issue because im not sure if this my right PIT FILE for this phone. Because usually it will go smoothly for these manual updates using Odin and this is my first encountering this error. And my fault i didnt backup my ROM which i should have done first before getting excited with this KitKat for my Note 3. That CSC file i got that from this site http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2613374 and just followed instructions on how to do it, but it will just give me that error when i try to apply that method. But here's the PIT file that i got from that download.

I think its on a wrong region because i got that leaked update here http://www.sammobile.com/2014/01/13...kitkat-rolling-out-to-galaxy-note-3-sm-n9005/ and it looks like from Poland? does that matter? because my Note 3 is and HK version?

I have done so many phones rooted them and install custom roms this is the first time it failed on me. And funny thing is its my own cell phone lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
You gave me the pit file from the zip. I was asking for the one from your phone.

But anyway I found one for the 16GB version somehwere. I am taking a look at it. Will try editing it to fit your needs. Give me a little while.

And yes, it matters, because the pit file determines the sizes of the various partitions. Since yours is a 16GB version, the pit from a 32GB won't work.

Solution

This is for Hong Kong 16GB N9005 who were stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note 3' screen after getting a 'Invalid: ext4 image' or 'Repartioning failed' errors while installing 4.4.2 OFFICIAL (Single File ROM) via Odin.

Many Thanks to [MENTION=256898]Volrath[/MENTION] for his/her post in another forum with this solution. I have tried and it worked. I've tried almost every other solution without avail. So, this is probably the only solution available at the time I'm writing this post.

Binary: Custom

Knox: 0x1

Method:

In Odin mode

1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-...x-smn9005.zip]

2. Flash the Chenglu's latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2454079

Download Sweet Rom and place it in ExtSDcard (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487425)

I tried external sd-card with various format and could not install the ROM. After format my SD Card to FAT32, the ROM can be installed.

On Device

1. Boot in to Recovery mode by Volume up + Home + Power

2. Wipe Factory reset / Dalvik Cache

3. Format /System (under "mount and storage" menu) [IMPORTANT STEP]

4. Install Rom from SD Card

5. Say your prayer. You'll need it. (The installation could take sometimes. If the device screen shows Samsung boot animation, you're half way there)
