I tried putting in a rom earlier for my note 3 and it didn't take.
I ended up on that, vibration boot loop.

Odin still worked fine so I tried putting in an original stock rom with root, so I can add recovery.
I could not actually find a fully suitable rom choice, and the samsung website didn't play well with me either. firstly it would not let me register for some reason...anyway.
I am UK on O2 running 9005 SO I put in N9005XXUDMJ7-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-BL-FREE
I don't know if that was the right choice, I set it up on PDA, and unclicked partition

It's been stuck possibly hanging on ext4 sys for over an hour.
The references I have seen suggest it takes a long time but how long is too long?

I don't want to pull the plug to brick the device completely.
I have a cwm recovery so all I need is to put the recovery back in and I should be good to go...

If this is hanging, what other options do I have?
How long is too long?

Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, and a drinks on me...
I am kinda freaking out, have seen similar threads, but because the firmwares are so different they didn't really help..or perhaps I misread things...but nothing really covered not being able to load the recovery software itself
consider me lizard brain in freak out mode right now..

please reply promptly with something.

Over one hour is too long to flash something even a full stock rom. Something is wrong there.

So you're saying you have no access to an original stock rom of your phone? If there is a problem like this flashing, I would flash the stock rom first then just root and install cwm. The first thing you want to do is have a working phone then just do the other stuff after like rooting, etc..

If what you posted is your stock rom, then download here and flash through odin.

There's also a newer one which is MK2 which you can download here.

Either one is stock.

Mate the reason you got into trouble was you weren't flashing a stock rom...
N9005XXUDMJ7-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-BL-FREE means it has been altered and is considered custom...
A stock rom has not been altered.
