Hi all,
I am generally not a XDA active reply user. I worked on a lot of Android fixing project. And here is one of mine result.
Please read the whole thread before working on it.
I know everyone is frustrating in upgrading to 4.4.2 but brick during odin process (ext4 fail) and stuck in 4.4.2 bootloader.
PS: This method is currently work on HK note3, but i think this method would work on all note3, Please try this will your own risk, I would not be responsible to all trouble according to this method. Varied N9005 would require different N9005 4.3 Firmware, I personally use HK Firmware because Mine is 16gb Note 3.
Here is the method to solve this problem:
Before working on it, we have to prepare the following things:
1. Odin 3.07 (Yes, 3.09 does not work)
2. HK firmware odin pack (Pit, BL (DO NOT WORK WITH IT, AP, CP, CSC) (Sorry for it is a Chinese link)
OR Workable N9005 4.3 firmware
3. 4.4.2 leaked firmware
4. 4.4.2 rom (I used sweet rom v.7 to fix it)
5. 4.4.2 recovery cwm @Chenglu
5. Samsung driver (bullshxt)
Now lets get started:
1. Flash the 4.4.2 firmware BL by odin.
2. Flash the HK Firmware AP, CP &CSC (Do not use the HK firmware BL)
3. once it done, turn to Download mode again and flash 4.4.2 recovery cwm by odin
4. Run Recovery
5. Wipe everything
6. Flash 4.4.2 rom ( I flashed sweet rom v7 currently)
7. Boot to system and do all the setting ( The sound and the signal are not working)
8. Boot back to download mode
9. Boot the 4.4.2 leaked firmware's CP ( DO NOT WIPE AFTERWARD)
10. Prepare coffee and cookies
11. Enjoy your device!

Please edit your title to reflect that (at least at this point) your fix should be considered primarily for the Hong Kong Note 3 bricked by writing XEO 4.4.2.

Actually not, its to all varied Note3 but I do not have all sources given to it, it is generally working on all Note3 who fail in flashing to 4.4.2(to any error in progress during Odin upgrading)
And I did a lot of researches, This problem is not only reflect to HK Note 3 only, there are a lot of people would upgrading to 4.4.2 and stuck in Download mode with UDC start (Not able to downgrade).

Well, if/when people will post in this thread reporting that the method (which is highly similar to methods that were already posted by other users, most notably Volrath and rinuvimal - which you have not credited anywhere) - then we will know that the method is applicable, and to which specific models!
In other words people using the method on untested models should be warned that they are just doing something that might have never been tested on their model.

Okay, i changed it, in term of a reference instead
Hi guys, I had the same issue with the 16GB Honk Kong version, and this is how I have finally resolved, trying the methods you suggested and others, and finally got it back to life this way (I'm posting in case this might be useful for any of you as well)
1.- Flash bootloader from N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2_OXX (Leaked Kit Kat version)
2.- After reboot, flash bootloader, CP and CSC from the same version (N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2_OXX). Flashing bootloader again might not be necessary, but this is how I did it, and how it worked, so I cannot confirm otherwise
3.- Flash AP from N9005ZHUBMI7 (Honk Kong version)
4.- Enter recovery mode and wiped system, cache and dalvik (just in case)
4.- Flash autoroot (n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.6-kitkat(0113).tar)
5.- Flash CWM recovery for KitKat (n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.6-kitkat(0113).tar)
6.- Installed the latest version of SweetRom (SweetROM_V7.00_NA6_4.4.2_N9005.zip) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2487425
So long it seems to be working correctly, battery consumption has increased, but this seems normal every time I change my ROM. Thanks again for all your help, and hopefully this will help someone else resolve the issue until the official version for the HK 16GB version is available.
My friend wants to ask this question because he is unable to post a reply with a photos attached.
Is my N9005 32gb Baseband/Bootloader from Hong Kong also?
Kindly see my ScreenShots beloe please. I just don't know where my Note 3 came from.
Thanks in Advance & God Bless

I think you are using a Custom Rom so there is a posibility it won't be accurate kabayan. But according to your bootloader and baseband its the same as my Hongkong version. And my advice hide your IMEI nexttime.

Seems I have had some success. Although, I found a couple of the instructions difficult to understand. Thanks for posting this, as I no longer have a brick.
Cheers.

My friend didn't continue to flash the Poland's leak. He will just wait for the OTA on his phone because he is afraid to have a softbrick and I told him also that if he had softbrick his phone the only thing that he can use now is by flashing custom ROM

i will try the solution given by members from Hongkong Region with flashing CWM recovery and SweetROM, but i just do not know will it work for Taiwan Region, cause Hongkong Firmware is ZHU and Taiwan is ZTU something unique there..

Hello
I bought an s6 on ebay a few days ago (live demo unit) & under system settings it says model number is SM-G920X "no official/custom firmwares/roms for this model so far" but when i went into recovery menu (vol up+home+power) it said it was a LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOC6 model. The G920i got my attention though since demo units don't normally have any letters other than an x "I might be wrong here though" it also has a sim slot that does open and i can see a circut board in there.
Is this a real demo unit or retail unit with the demo firmware running on it? and if the later which firmware should i use?
Thanks for any help

Just go to Sammobile and find the SM-G920i firmware for your country. Its just a standard SM-G920i with demo software. Download the one thats for your country and flash via Odin 10

Sorry for delayed reply.
To obtain pit file, you should extract it from your partition table using terminal. However, because you have soft bricked your phone you should use pit file that already exist.
The link below is two files of pit file that you can use with the firmware.
https://mega.co.nz/#F!Q0FTiR5L!E63T9o3mSYizndckgL1o7Q
Version described:
eur = European pit, 32GB
hktw = HK pit, 16GB
Obtain only the pit file that match your model phone. Flash it with firmware from your region to prevent IMEI loss.
still failed
:crying: still failed
i put 32 pit file u provided after flashing failed then
in download mode this was written. Volume size is too big 10 2400 < 409600

volume up and home button and boat into recovery and dont touch anything just reboot system now the phone will ask for installing missing file and it will boot but i tried
And successfully flashed recovery but couldnt boot into recovery may be i flashed a wrong recovery will you please give me link of cwm recovery for note 3 lte sm-n9005 thanks for helping me

guys i need your help please
I would suggest you download a ROM from Sammmobile that corresponds to your country and install that via ODIN and if that doesn't work try one from a different country or one tha is unknown (I.E. that doesn't belong to a any country), I softbricked my phone trying to install H3G for UK and for what ever reason it would not install. However...
I downloaded one called BTU and that worked using this app SamFirm. To get my version I installed type the Model number SM-G920F and Region BTU to download, once it has downloaded then decrypt the file by clicking the Decrypt button and unzip the decrypted file and then use ODIN to install that one. Using the SamFirm app downlaods it faster and gets the latest from Samsung as far as I am concerned. Good Luck.

The only thing I can think of is trying one from your country and trying any other one. You can use the SamFirm software to download different versions, else I think your phone is broken for some unknown reason and you will have to get it fixed under the warranty. Or install the Samsung Smart Switch from samsung and get the firmware installed that way via the Emergency Software and recovery mode, but it will wipe everything and do a factory reset. Also you will need the serial number and model number of your phone.
Hi there,
I purchased a note 8 SM-N950F few days back. It was working perfectly till I got an OTA notification. I downloaded it and updated my phone and boom there it goes stuck on Galaxy Note 8 Powered by android screen.
I waited for 20 minutes (long than usual) then restarted it forcefully.
It then started to boot to android with closed eyes [possibly missing recovery screen] and after that back to galaxy note 8 powered by android screen [the loop continues].
I tried many firmwares with no luck,
Then I found a way to start it up, by flashing everything except CSC. In this way my phone started and I'm able to use it normally but with these following issues:
Internal storage 32Gb instead of 64Gb
Codes like *#0*# or *#06# etc not working
Once I factory reset it, the same problem occurs and I have to flash again in the same way i.e. without CSC, if flashed with CSC it doesn't boot up and the problem with that android logo with `x` on his eye persists.
Need help pleaseeee.

You flashed the wrong firmware, the firnware that you flashed was for the 32GB version of your device, that's why it won't boit correctly when you flash the CSC.
Find the same firmware version for the 64GB version of your device.

The problem is that once I boot in recovery it never gets passed that no command error screen. and once it gets at that point there is no coming back.
Phone never starts again and I have to flash firmware again(without CSC offcourse as mentioned above).

Try finding a PIT file for your model number, then flash the stock firmware along with the PIT file, the PIT file goes in the PIT tab in Odin. The PIT is what tells Odin which partitions to flash the various parts of the firmware to.
Place the firmware file(s) in their slot(s), then make sure the "re-partition" option in Odin has a check beside it, then go to the PIT tab in Odin and place the PIT file in its slot. Then click the start button in Odin.
If it still bootloops after flashing, try booting to recovery and factory reset then wipe cache partition then reboot.

This guide has a link to the PIT file.

Download the PIT then extract it, then flash it along with the correct firmware for your device, flash the firmware and the PIT at the same time, not separately, make sure it is the correct firmware for your region/carrier also. If you don't know your region/carrier code, I'll help you identify what your code is you tell me what country you live in and which network/carrier the device is used on.

This might be a firmware that you have already tried, but it is all I can find for Pakistan.
Here:

They are all the same firmware, it doesn't matter which one you download. They can be downloaded for free, but the free download is slower, just be patient and wait for it to download.

Thanks alot I'll try later today and will update here. One thing, should I be worried about backing up efs folder? Oem is not unlocked as device is in prenormal state.
Can I backup efs folder without root? If yes how so? I can't find any method to back it up without root.

So here is what I did,
I already had the same firmware downloaded, so I downloaded the PIT file extracted it and flashed the firmware with all files including the PIT file and checked the re-partition.
Odin flash passed.
Device reboots in recovery and starts installing the firmware same as it did for OTA update,
after installing it reboots again and goes to the same "No command" screen :/
I can only able to run my phone if I flash everything except CSC i.e. AP,CP & BL. [Same issue as stated in start of thread]
Any other suggestion please?
