[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fogoticus:
Some background... this phone was bought back in the day when Note 4 was about to be released. I have been the unique owner and I have treated the device with an abnormal amount of care and respect. Updates were about to come up but for my device... the bloody thing was getting said updates way too late (2-3 months later than everybody else such as UK or Poland). I grew tired of waiting so I did it, I force updated my own device using an image from sammobile.com with Android 4.4.2 using ODIN. It worked. The phone updated flawlessly in around 3 minutes it started the boot up sequence but the only difference was that the software inside was for UK not my European region which was Romania.

Fast forward... I rooted the device, did a lot of firmware tests (even after 5.0 came out, I still installed a ton of firmwares on it and they all functioned properly even if I was dealing with Android 6.0 or even 7.0) and the phone generally functioned very very well.

Now my **** up was that I wanted to reformat the phone to a 100% stock image (which I could do with ease at any given moment) and for some strange reason I ticked "Nand Erase All" and the reformat went trough... the software fully installed. My phone booted up and what do you know? I suddenly have 16 GB of storage instead of 32. I panic a little... I try to firmware upgrade a normal stock image for the romanian version of the Note 3. Stock Romanian based software for SM-N9005. Fails mid update 100% of the time me trying it well over 20 times. A bit of research, I end up realizing I ****ed up the phone seriously bad. So one guy saves me with a "repair firmware" which is named: N9005XXUGBNL8_OXAGBNL8_v5.0_Repair_Firmware. I manage to flash the whole thing onto the phone and it works... but things are off. Apps are crashing at random, the phone is laggy at times... heck, there's a "android.media has stopped working" popping up every 2-3 minutes or even faster if I use internal storage. I can barely do anything... it also destorys the SD Card. As in, I gotta connect it to a micro SD reader to repair the micro SD from within Windows to be able to copy what's on it or even copy something on it... internal storage is zippy but again, it stops working once this android.media crashes. A few months pass, my girlfriend gives me a chance to repair the phone one hopeful last time. So I said "**** it" and I tried flashing again, the latest RO ROM for the phone. It fails mid way. I try restarting the phone and... it's bricked. It says that the software update failed and I need to connect it to Kies to update. Did just that and I find out Samsung doesn't allow the Note 3 to be emergency software updated anymore.....

I have the repair software, and another 2 different softwares. I have tried so many times to update the device using different cables and ports. Heck, I even installed Windows 7 to see if it works (until one guy told me I can install it trough VMWare and I will get the same exact result as if I were to have Windows 7 directly installed on the PC)... nothing works. My main error message is the one attached as a picture.

I tried every ODin, port and cable I could. I just... don't know what to do anymore. The phone is great but do I really have to buy a secondary display broken phone and transfer the mainboard from that phone to this one to have a "functioning" phone again or are there other options I missed out on?

Thanks for your message! I shall try to respond as soon as possible.
