Hello. About three days ago, I decided to move to Sammy 4.3 from AOSP 4.3. I've had huge problems since then. I flashed the MJ5 bootloader, ARHD 20.0 and Devil kernel. The problem occurs on SpeedWizz and 20.1 as well.
My recovery partition gets corrupt. Recovery boots straight to a kind of download mode with no text/counters. I have to flash recovery from Odin in order to fix it. Sometimes it won't even work without a PIT file. Sometimes, I have to flash multiple times and it goes to the Firmware Update Failed, Try recovery mode in Odin screen. Sometimes, it says failed but works anyway. And it just gets corrupt after a small delay every time.
Any way to fix this? I'm going crazy without my recovery.

I had a number of strange problems after flashing the mj5 bootloader, all started working well again after flashing dr ketans bootloader patch (id not realised that its different to the wifi patch)
Thanks guys it was NAND corruption, apparently. I updated to the latest British ROM, and it's been fine after that.

I just updated to 4.3 i747m using mobile odin and the wifi wont work!!! it wont turn on!! what should i do??
I'm experiencing the same issue. Clean flash, having twice performed full data/cache wipe. Am in the process of searching for solutions.
I'm having the same problem, is there any solution already?
Thanks!
I had this problem last week using Mobile Odin I flashed firmware over the top with Odin 1.85 and it worked for me

I would suggest to install custom recovery & format SYSTEM & flash a Custom Rom. This will solve your issues.
Flash stock rom whith kies
Works for me

Could be the new Bootloader blocking you
Try flashing a CM rom and then try restoring the backup.
Thank for the fast reply. I.ll try and post the result.
The fact is i can restore an old stock backup (mi6), but not the new one (mk4)

It didn.t work, my friends! Nothing!
I.ve flashed MK4 on top of MI6 with mobile odin, clear data, root etc, backup with philz, cannot restore the backup!
The os is working great, but I cannot restore backup. It remains stuck on bootanimation.
I.ve void my knox warranty, so i.ll try everything, as long as it works!

The only thing I can think is something must be wrong with your backups.
Once you restored have you tried to wipe the device? Does it boot fully?
I use phills recovery to restore my device every time I test a new project and have no issues.

Thank you @faria
I.ve tried that too
Restore - not booting - forced recovery mode - wipe data - reboot - boot animation...

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932327.
If it does not work you may have a partition corrupted, get an official 4.1 rom and a PIT file,flash the 2 files together via odin with repartition checked. Good luck.

thank you for the advice!
I.ve flashed the fixer, flashed philz again and the same problem...
now i.m downloading an 4.1.2 firmware to see what can i do
the problem is ONLY with 4.3 new bootloader frimwares, because i can restore without problem CM roms and MI6 rom
that.s why I thought it was because of the new bootloader, and not because of the partition...
anyway, yhamk you again for your advice. I.ll flash 4.1.2 and post the results
@faria
my friend,
it was bad
I tried to flash 4.1.2 with pit: UNSUPPORTED VERSION
tried to flash your rom with PC odin: UNSUPPORTED VERSION
I managed to flash the latest MK4 for my country...
should I flash it with the pit file?
Now I don.t know if I should stay on this without the possibility of restoring a nandroid backup, or just use the MI6 backup
anyway, there will always by CM
thank you for your help!
I will watch the forum and I will keep to date

Tried that too, nothing..
Tried to flash the patch on top of mk9, error
Tried to flash mj5 bootloader, error
Couldn.t find the whole mj5 firware but i think it would be unsupported
So, i.ll just wait and hope that some smart people here, like dr.ketan or faria will do some tricks for us with the new mk9 bootloader
Thank all for your help, especially @faria

I m sorry to hear that.In another note,if you are in official 4.3 and rooted you should be able to install my rom or a lest any 4.3 rom via Mobile odin.
Ok, I am an idiot! Let's get that out of the way first.
I rooted my N5110 using Mobile Odin with no issues. I was so excited about getting air command that I did not flash correctly and I started to boot loop on the splash screen.
I Odin'd TWRP (amongst other recoveries) and am unable to flash any ROM.
I was getting the #7 error and I researched how to get rid of it, but I don't believe that is my issue.
I tried to Odin the stock ROM, but keep getting the sboot.bin error and Write errors.
I then felt my bootloader was bad, so I successfully odin'd the k. K bootloader, but I still get the errors.
I have researched for hours and have tried all I know to try.
My next step is ADB with TWRP and Android SDK. I will try that when I get home.
I have wiped everything multiple times.
I have been unable to find a .pit file that will allow me to repartition. It keeps getting errors in Odin.
Most of my errors in TWRP say there are partition issues.
I can't believe I am hard bricked because I am able to easily get into recovery and download mode.
I don't believe the motherboard is bad because Odin is able to write the recovery files.
I am certain there is an easy fix that I am to ignorant to know about.
Can anyone shoot me some ideas?

I am currently stuck on Odin, trying to re-partition. It says Get PIT for mapping..
And does not look like it will be getting that PIT anytime soon.

I'm not an expert on the subject but if it was me I would try switching recoveries by flashing PhilZ in TWRP and see how it responds.
May not solve a thing but won't hurt anything either. Most of the Devs recommend using PhilZ recovery to flash KK roms for better compatibility.

I have searched the forums and found issues similar to mine but not exact. I was running 4.4.2 and hated the memory card issue and tried to downgrade back to 4.3. I have done this before and also rooted and unrooted my note 2 so I am fairly familiar, how ever something happened this time. I can boot into downloading but not recovery and when I turn on my phone I get stuck in boot loop, have tried flashing in odin and always fails, just read that due to knox 4.4.2 cant be downgraded. any help would be appreciated. I even tried just to flash the stock 4.4.2 to no avail

Do a google search for my fix.tar and flash it. After that you will have a recovery to boot into and flash any rom you want. If you dont like the recovery you can also flash your recovery of choice.

Due to a comedy of errors, I deleted my OS last night. I could only flash 5.1.1 firmware for reasons I never did figure out. Now, for the life of me, I cant flash a TWRP Recovery in Odin nor can I flash any custom ROMS. Odin either fails or my phone is wrecked and I have to reboot the standard 5.1.1 firmware. Am I stuck without root for the time being?

Odin fails if reactivation lock is on. Check to see if that's on.

The new kernels restrict root. If you root with the stock kernel on 5.1.1 you boot loop. @freeza built a kernel allowing root.

Thank you! That did it. I was becoming obsessed! Weird thing is I had tried exactly what you said last night but didn't follow directions. Auto-boot must be unchecked in Odin. I also was loading in the PDA slot.
Thanks again.
