[Q] Trying to Manually update to 5.0 SM-N9005; Odin - Error: FAIL!(Ext4)

[dmar16]

Hi,

I am having a lot of trouble flashing my Note 3 (SM-N9005) 16gb to Android 5.0. At this point in time, all I can do is enter into DL mode.

I have been trying to use Odin to flash my device, but I think I must have messed up the PIT file by accident - using a 32gb instead of a 16 gb. I now know that I should never have touched the PIT button.

I am using this stock firmware: N9005XXUEND4_N9005FTMEND1_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5 to get back to old version.

Odin reads:

Is there someway to fix this?

Use the right pit file and you should be fine.

Use the right pit file and you should be fine.

Thanks. I tried that with this PIT file [HLTE_HKTW_OPEN_16G.pit], but get this message now:

My phone says:
"ODIN : Invalid ext4 image"

Is there a better PIT file I should use?

Try restarting odin, use right pit file and it should flash the stock rom

You phone (or at least the stock firmware you want to use is "France - Orange") There has no official Lollipop update been released yet.
The pit file is "Hong Kong -Taiwan" , may be its not compatible to each other. Try to get a pit file that matches your firmware. Or take a firmware that matches the pit file. In any case you should backup your EFS before going on flashing different firmwares. Use TWRP to backup your EFS .

OK thanks. Downloading FW for Hong Kong - Taiwan now. I will let you know if it works.
