Help,

Before I was with 4.4 XEO Region (Knox 0x1), I wanted to go to PRO Region

I was nearly at the end of Odin 3.07:
hidden.img.ext4
transmission complete
now writing ....
Receive response from boot-loader
FAIL!(Size)

I want to keep Samsung stock, and take the minus of risk because I have Knox 01
(I can go to download mode without problem)

Thanks in advance for your help

Different regions/carriers are having flash issues, you need to go XEO (Poland) - not sure why region/carriers having issues but they are.

Only in the short term until the next incremental update - Max a couple of months, depends how fast Samsung push out fixes. But XEO should be fine plus it has no carrier bloat + it has European CSC's etc so works all over Europe :)

Ok I have to re-download XEO now!

Some news in one hour !

Flash XEO OK ... but stuck on:

Android.system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.N9005XXUENA

reboot system now

#manual mode #
-- Appling Multi-csc
Appled the CSC-code : LUX
Successfully applied multi-CSC


And now I loop on this screen if I hit reboot system now

I have tried wipe cache partition without success
If it is possible to not factory reset !

Take out your battery, then put back in and reboot into recovery, wipe cache etc and you should be OK

EDIT: If it doesn't work, reflash it.

remove battery

Power .... always to recovery boot <3e> KOT49h.N9005XXUENA6 in red

What to do ?

There is no need to do so when you install XEO. As it has the Bootloader in the single file.


Solved ... don't known extacly how !!

What I have done:
(a factory reset done before without success)

Odin with Poland without reboot twice

remove battery

Boot recovery and wait .... N9005 has reboot completly without doing anything !!

I think I will keep Poland for a long time !!

Thanks to all for your help, it's good not to be alone:good::laugh:
