[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_phoenix:
probably a corrupted partition due to some error.

try getting a .PIT file for N9005,

and flash it via odin along with stock rom.

1. search google -- there are various PIT files on SamMobile. Download the N9005 hlte BTU version.

2. here is another link for you

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2550823

and which version of rom are you trying flashing ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] make it the boss:
i tried (samsony) one, specifically the 5.0 lollipop official rom , here is odin when i tried flashing it with the pit file. https://photos.app.goo.gl/vGc9vBP8xDcxgYRT7 ,

the download also have these new messages : MMC: mmc_read fail

odin : flash read failure
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_phoenix:
change cables. (may be cable is somehow not working properly.)

use updated ODIN version. ( you are using old version)

use this PIT file. this is TGY version. (Android 5.0)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67773525&postcount=16

after then flash stock firmware. (preferably TGY one.)

if nothing works even now... then your mmc chip is corrupted and need to be replaced. the chip only if you can or the whole motherboard.

there is no harm in trying anything now, to revive it. so just do everything. don't lose hope. may be it will work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] make it the boss:
i tried that and the same error , so i guess then it's the emmc chip . but i still want to know the cause of it's death . do you have any idea ?!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_phoenix:
hmm..

that i don't know yet.

but in my opinion, if the emmc chip/motherboard is dead/corrupted/broken then it should not be detected by odin at all.

if it is being detected then it can be survived. but hey it is just an hypothesis.

imo the partition corruption chances are high like 85-95%. that can be repaired by available PIT file.

but i don't know any further than that.

and btw you didn't mentioned how it got corrupted ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] make it the boss:
it's just died on me, i was changing the sim card and .... the phone won't start again , but, i'll try to re solder the chip and i'll tell you if it worked ! . thanks tho :good: :laugh:

I have a dell WQHD monitor bought to use, specifically with the note 9, but after I plugged the note 9 I found that I do not get the option for the WQHD, it is grayed out? is anyone able to get it to work? please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Brava27:
Your monitor cannot handle the resolution.

Sent from my Blackberry Bold
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iyas87:
the monitor resolution is 2560x1440, it handles the resolution. I am using the laptop on it with this resolution. The dex show the option for 2560x1440 but it is grayed out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] muguvian:
Same here, even though the monitor and cable is 4k/60Hz capable. Supposedly the Samsung dock and pad work in WQHD, so that would mean they are using a chip ID verification to make sure the 3rd party gear doesn't give full resolution. Just guessing though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Glassed Silver:
Same problem here... All cables used that came in the box, using a Sony Bravia XE90E.

That panel is well capable of all funky resolutions, certainly 1440p as well.

Mirroring works fine, but what good is mirroring worth really. Nobody bought a DEX Pad to just mirror.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
I wondered this too few days ago when I first time tested it with a cheap adapter from Amazon. I also read somewhere that the highest resolution is only available with those "pad" device(s). Not a biggie for me, since the 2560x1440 doesn't scale nicely to a 4K monitor, but the lower FullHD resolution does. It is not like I'd be doing my main work with the phone anyway, but it is a "nice to have" in some random situation where I didn't drag my heavyweight laptop with me.

Would be nice if the resolution selection would give a clear text explaining why that choice is disabled, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] babak:
I read somewhere that only the original samsung pad with the fan allows resolutions over full hd because going overheats the phone too much and damages it, I do not know if it's true or not though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Glassed Silver:
Well I'm using the official DEX Pad and still no luck. Go figure ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] babak:
This dex pad ?

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1ktcwIG3gL._SL1500_.jpg
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Glassed Silver:
Yes, that one. There is just one DEX Pad afaik and I don't mean the DEX Station. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jesadac:
The latest update (about 1.5gb) got it working, at least via the dex pad.

I've got 3440 X 1440 matching my display
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lbarouf:
[MENTION=388976]jesadac[/MENTION] Are you able to test with a regular cable, and see if the resolution support drops to FHD ? My cables work fine on a MacBook Pro for WQHD, but when connected to my Note 9 with latest version, won't go higher than FHD, even if everything supports it. I am trying to confirm that Samsung locked the higher resolution to their products. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
They seem to have at least tried some partial locking, or it may be a technical reason (e.g. ability to drive higher bitrates in specific situations), or whatnot.

I managed to get the highest resolution with one 3rd party USB-C hub, but it allowed DEX mode only when that hub got external power (and thus also charged the phone). Another hub (claimed to support 4K) didn't give highest resolution even when it was also getting external power, so it is obviously a bit hit/miss..

EDIT: The better working hub shows mirrored screen without external power, at that 2560x1440 resolution. There are some random temporary screen artifacts with that hub, though, at least for a while after DEX gets turned on, and sometimes phone-hub-monitor protocols don't quite get it right, showing some really low resolution DEX view with a popup saying something about that too low resolution :P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lbarouf:
Ah.... that's very good info. If a 3rd party can, then it's likely a capability support issue. I don't see why on earth a different device could display a higher res than the Note 9, when all is the same, except the source.

I'm ok in FHD on the monitor. While not as sharp, its workable. But on a 70" 4K TV, its so pixelated, it's not funny. I would pretty much like the higher resolution to make the movie playback and picture browsing a nicer experience when the out laws are in town.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
I actually prefer the FullHD on a 4K monitor, because otherwise non-integer scaling makes some things worse, at least for text. OTOH, movies and photos are indeed likely better with higher resolution even with non-integer scaling. I did use it at highest resolution on a 4K monitor for a while using 1:1 mode on the monitor, so that there was no scaling (but lots of black margin). I'd naturally prefer 1:1 at 2560x1440 to my older 2560x1600 monitor (so just a little black on top and bottom), but seems that the older monitor does not support the full resolution through its HDMI inputs or something :P

EDIT: Oh, and at work I connected the phone directly to 4K monitor with the monitor's included USB-C-to-USB-C cable, with keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor's USB ports, and phone being charged by the monitor through that cable. Everything worked just fine, but I'm not 100% sure did it allow the highest resolution.. I think it did.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lbarouf:
Ah... bliss. That is the example of why I love USB type C so much now. A bunch of thunderbolt 3 rated cables is all I need really now. Likely hitting the menu can confirm the resolution. I like the wide resolution as its native on my monitors and TV (16:9 aka WQHD). I just ordered a DeX pad. I will sell the old dock if that works fine at the higher resolution. It's not bad and compact. I found a good price on Amazon, so it's not too bad in the end I guess. Pair it with a portable keyboard trackpad and I may leave that in the living room.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Safiru:
I'm using a third party USB-C hub that allows Dex to work on Galaxy S9 with and without external power. The thing is that my S9 only works at FHD while using the same setup with a Galaxy S8 allows for 2560x1440. It's frustrating. Sadly I can not provide detailed info about the TV set and the S8. If anyone has any suggestion on how to set up my S9 to allow higher res it would be much appreciated.

[MENTION=9541442]6thtry[/MENTION] what 3rd party USB hub are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
Based on my Amazon order history, it was this:

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07FRZCLGB/

Whether it is still the exact same hardware, who knows (sometimes these no-name things change technically without revealing it), but at least it is "Amazon's Choice" (pfft) and "Dispatched by Amazon", and seems to still get good ratings (and bad ones, too).

As it is such a no-name thing, it is totally up to random chance whether it can be found in other amazon sites or not. If no luck with direct name and model, then with some extra luck, one might find it by the exact same look (and possibly even exactly same photos) but with different brand.

[MENTION=9541442]6thtry[/MENTION]

Appreciate that. On Reddit/SamsungDex I'm trying to put together a list of non samsung hubs that give greater than 1080p resolution in dex mode.

If you remember, do you mind sharing what phone and monitor you were using with that hub and what resolution was selectable in dex mode?

Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
Phone was Note 9 / Exynos, and if I recall correctly, I later also tested Note 10+ / Exynos. I'll try to retest that Note 9 today, as I've since updated the firmware to the latest, and confirm/retest that Note 10+.

Monitor at work with USB-C is/was Lenovo ThinkVision X1 27" 4K (1st gen). At home I tested with old Dell U3011 using HDMI (the monitor doesn't support the higher resolutions via its HDMI). After I get back from work I can also try another 4K Dell monitor (no USB-C on that, so via HDMI) at home.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RustyFlanMan:
[MENTION=9541442]6thtry[/MENTION]

Wow, thank you so much for the thorough testing. Very appreciated.

Just to clarify, things looked fine when you selected 2560 x 1440 on the phone, for Dex, right?

What I'll do (tomorrow) is in the stickied reddit post, I'll list your german hub, list the phones and monitors you used, and then I'll link your XDA post. I'll encourage people to read your post if they want the finer details of compatibility and resolution between the various device combinations.

Link to thread here.

Thanks again 6thtry!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
As fine as it can get on a 4K monitor, quite usable. At least much better than when 1920x1080 was selected. That 2560x1440 will still get scaling in the monitor to cover the full 4K view, which makes a bit of blurriness to text. With 1:1 scaling forced on monitor settings, it looks naturally bit sharper but also quite a bit smaller (and black area around the view).

(In computer world, for content that includes lots of small text, I would prefer to use 1920x1080 over 2560x1440 on a 4K monitor, simply because then there will be no additional blurring due to non-integer scaling. But on these phones, the low quality of text rendering and various scaling steps included makes text blurry in all cases I could test, so the higher the resolution, the better.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Safiru:
Here is my non Samsung hub (sorry, I'm so new I'm not yet allowed to attach links)

Search on Amazon UK:

USB C Hub Ethernet, Samsung Dex Station USB C to HDMI VGA Adapter for Galaxy Note 9/8/S9/S8, Compatible With Macbook/MacBook Pro, Nintendo Switch HDMI Adapter

The seller is LC-dolida

It gives higher then FHD res. IT also has a VGA connector witch activates Dex when connected. On both HDMI and VGA, Dex works both with and without power supplied to the hub. While in Dex mode I prefer using a wireless charger directly under the phone because that actually charges the phone while in use. Providing power to the phone through the hub only slows down the draining of the battery.

Sadly I can only use the hub when ever I'm booked in a hotel. That doesn't happen on a regular basis and also means it is impossible for me to go back to the same hardware setup as before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ypongrekun:
Same issue here, and I figured it out that, galaxy note 9 stuck with android 10... even thoo I installed the Goodlock and Multistar app (ver 3.4.29 latest version for Android 10) ... it doesnt have the option to edit the dex resolution. The only way based on the theory is to root the phone and install Android 12/13 to enable the Multistar feature for dex - Which I don't recommend to root your phone.

So im facing this weird problem for almost a week now. Im using stock oreo 8.1 july patch with magisk on it without the twrp. When ever i try to charge my phone after switching off the white charging logo comes and freezes my phone completely and i have soft reboot everytime i try this. Why is this happening and did anyone else faced this issue? Is it just a rooting bug or magisk issue or what? Coz it wasnt there when i was on stock config. It used to work fine before i rooted my device. Can anyone help me with this issue?

When you enable hal3 API you modify the system partition. If even mounting it rw trips the "modified detector" it is no wonder ota does not work :(
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
This.

From what I understand, and the following confirms it, some people have simply edited the properties file in System (thus no updates) and some have used the 'setProp' command, which doesn't modify System.

The following explains it:

"Android system properties are being managed by special property_service. The /system/build.prop is just one out of 4-6 (depending on the version) read-only files containing the default values that property_service uses to populate its internal in-memory database with during start-up. So changes to the files during run time would not propagate until after reboot.

The setprop and getprop commands are used to access the data in that database. Unless the property name starts with persist. - then the value gets stored in /data/property folder."

So, it seems that if all you do with root is use setprop, you should continue to get the updates.

I've used a Magisk module to enable camera2api.

I've now uninstalled magisk, anyone has an idea about how should I procede?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
This probably also does the setprop stuff. Do you know if uninstalling it restores the original state?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] hugopg:
I won't try that because I've changed the build.prop to enable HAL3 and cameraApi2. So i'll need to flash the system.img BEFORE doing that... I'll do it next week only.

[Honor 9 Lite Questions & Answers] jcbod:
Hi,

I was trying to install Linage OS 14 on my H9L and I got it installed fine. I then tried flashing TWRP with `fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img` I then did `fastboot reboot` and once back into Linage I rebooted into TWRP from the power menu. After this TWRP got stuck on the loading screen so I tried rebooting, the phone rebooted back into TWRP and got stuck again. I then tried getting into fastboot by plugging in the USB and holding the volume down, rebooted into TWRP still. I then managed to get out by holding the power button and the + and - volume buttons to get into eRecovery. I then tried to do reset by doing 'Install latest version over WiFi' which downloads then fails and now I can't boot up my phone and it just goes straight to eRecovery every time I boot it up. I can still get into fastboot and I've tried flashing recovery_ramdisk, ramdisk from both a system update zip and from a TWRP backup with also no luck. At this point I really just want to get back to stock. :(

If anyone can help I'd really really appreciate it and be forever grateful :).

If it says that is locked that would be your issue of why you can not flash anything.
