:good:I installed a custom Rom On my Galaxy Note 3 (SM N900) after 3 days suddenly my device got hanged and I removed the battery then when I tried to turn it on by putting the battery on nothing happens but I can get into Download Menu. I tried with multiple odin versions, with multiple firmware's including pit file


My download menu status is :

Code:
ODIN MODE
Product Name : SM-N900
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock (KK): OFF
Secure Download : Enabled
KNOX WARRENTY VOID :  0
RP SWREV : A4

I tried to flash stock firmware downloaded from sammobile

My ODIN reading is


Code:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> N900XXUEBOC4_N900ODDEBOB2_N900DDUEBOB1_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

The problem is with your device's hard drive which you may define as system storage . This is a very common issue with Samsung devices . Don't worry it's easy to fix . If you have warranty then go to Service center and if you don't have warranty then go to a service professional and ask him to replace your device's hard drive which contains ram and emcc in a single chip. If you face no base band issue then simply flash efs via odin that will resolve the imei issue

Costs : Around $50[max including service charge]

Why this occurs : You may face issue with removal drives that it asks for format automatically like this same occurs on your emcc but there's no way to fix it automatically and though three features in a single chip to its better to replace with new or better one.

Try to change the version of odin into 3.7 before that try to clear cash from recovery if you can

Just go to Samsung store or a friend who's matter in this techno and ask him what's the problem because there are so many users who are facing same prob but noone has got the solution individually.

BTW which ROM u installed??

Backup any data you need first before you do all that. The Aurora ROMs are best place on after a full wipe as JJEgan says. Also once you do it, do them 3 times. Flash system data cache 3 time for good measure. (It does happen at times where 1 is not enough and you find stuff stayed. Also consider using the newer versions like 3.3 instead of that one.
