[Q] Note3 N9005 LTE with XEO slow and boot loops - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After flashing a German Note3 with stock 4.4.2 using Odin with the official Open firmware from Poland XEO N9005XXUENB3 the phone is really slow, the SIM card is not recognized and the device has boot loops. The flash process succeeded and factory reset and cache wipe were executed from recovery mode.
Only from recovery mode KOT49H.N9005XXUENB3 it successfully boot when it is again stuck with the boot logo.
In the recovery mode the yellow lines below indicate that the CSC-code DBT (Germany)
The official file was flashed using the AP field and the file: N9005XXUENB3_N9005OXXENB1_HOME.tar.md5
The reason for flashing was to be able to switch to Vietnamese which is available in the XEO firmware.
The phone should have been unlocked because a Lebara SIM card worked before which is no longer being recognized.
Is there a way to restore the functionality within this firmware or do I need to go back to a different firmware ?
I would not mind also trying a Lollipop stock rom but currently do not want to try tripping Knox.
EDIT: Baseband and IMEI is UNKNOWN
EDIT2: Flashing back the DBT firmware N9005XXUGNG1 resolves all these problems but I would still like to be able to switch to Vietnamese (Viet Tieng) language

[Q] S3 Neo won't boot after Odin flash

My S3 Neo I9300I ran stock 4.4.4 KitKat with TWRP 2.7.1 and I tried to install a custom Lollipop rom which did not work so I had to reflash the stock firmware.
After reflashing the firmware with Odin, everything was fine except that the Wifi option was greyed out and unresponsive so I coudn't connect to Wifi. I tried many of the options specified on threads related to this particular issue but to no avail.
Second time I tried to reflash the firmware with Odin, Odin showed "PASS" after which I unplugged the phone and found out that it didn't boot at all, even into Download Mode. No key combos etc worked.
After some Googling, I found out that writing a debrick file to an SD card and inserting it into the phone could get the phone into a bootloop while booting normally and into Download Mode while holding VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME. Without the SD card though, the phone was completely unusable as above.
I then tried flashing the firmware and TWRP again with Odin but still the phone won't boot at all, and inserting the debrick SD card could only get it into Download mode.
Would flashing a firmware from a different region help? Or have I ruined the bootloader? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Soft Bricked Galaxy S5 G900P OG1 firmware

My galaxy is soft bricked, I can't enter TMRP or flash anything on it using Odin. The only thing that successfully "flashes" on is OG1 firmware, however it still is bricked even beyond that. I accidently ticked Nand erase on my device when I was trying to flash a different rom onto it now it's soft bricked and I can't get past the virgin mobile screen. When I flash og1 firmware onto it, it resets and goes onto the base android recovery. It loads up until about halfway where it crashes and the device reboots again back to the brick state. I've put the custom recovery mode on it along with the firmware to see if that would do anything, I put another og1 firmware on the SD card which is useless because I can't get into the custom recovery mode.
Try flashing this recovery firmware - only just discovered them today, but apparently they contain more partitions than the stock ROMs do

Flash Back to Stock ROM on Re-Partitioned Phone

I purchased a Galaxy Edge S7 SM-G935FD Unlocked International Edition (Exynos?) from Amazon US. In an attempt to flash TWRP with Odin, I mistakenly checked re-partition. I thereafter received "an error has occurred while updating the device .... use Emergency Recovery .... in Smart Switch". When I attempt to do so (ie. reinstall stock firmware), I am asked for my Model Number and Serial Number, which I provide. The firmware download appears to complete, but the install does not complete. So here's my questions:
-Givfen my prior repartition, should the Smart Switch Emergency Recovery work, or if not what do I need to do to recover?
-Smart Switch is trying to flash "Initialized Version: : PDAB6 / CSCB4 / PHONEB6 (ACR)". Is that correct for my International Edition?
-I am very confused by the above version code versus the G935FXXU..... firmware codes for rom downloads on websites. What is the correct firmware code for my International Edition?
Thx, Gus
So you need to download the Offical Sammy Firmware for your phone and flash it all via odin
So you can Re-Partition.
Once booted up, repeat your stages avoiding the erros you made the first time./

[Q][I9506] Stuck on GT-I9506 logo (no recovery, only Download Mode)

OK. First some info about the phone:
GT-I9506
S/N: RF8F20W841T
PDA: PL2 / PHONE: OJ2 / CSC: OK1 (NEE)
I replaced the screen few days ago and got the phone working at last! It was with STOCK 4.4.2. So i used OTA to update it to latest STOCK 5.0.1. After this I have rooted it with CF-AUTO-ROOT and it was fine for two days.
After two days wile charging with S CHARGER COVER (OEM) it just restarted. Was working ok but after few minutes hanged and rebooted again. Then the bootloop appeared. First screen with GT-I9506 logo and then blue flash and again.
CAN'T BOOT IN TO THE SYSTEM (no matter what I can't make it to boot properly)
CAN'T ENTER RECOVERY (it's showing that's booting in to the recovery but instead of recovery it just restart)
CAN ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE (no problem with entering DM)
What I have done so far:
- Kies recovery with phone model number and serial number (still bootloop).
- Odin flashing STOCK rom from SamFirm download (still bootloop) (single and 4 files flash).
- Re-partitioning (flashing PIT file).
- Reflashing bootloder (still nothing).
- Tryed CWM, TWRP and other Recovery, non of them boot up.
Using those files to flash:
AP_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
BL_I9506XXSDPL2_CL6069869_QB11747892_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
CP_I9506XXUDOJ2_REV00_CL1318424.tar
CSC_NEE_I9506NEEDOK1_CL6069869_QB7017077_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
I would really appreciate help from someone more skilled then me.
Is it possible that I should flash 4.4.2 STOCK ROM instead of 5.0.1 to revive it? I came with 4.4.2 so maybe to make him work again I should start from flashing STOCK 4.4.2 NEE?
UPDATE:
STOCK FIRMWARE 4.3 and 4.4.2 does not help... I'm out of ideas...
After flashing bootloader it self I manage to get to the point when Green Droid appear and after 30% of progress it restarts and bootloop is back again...
Uninstall any old drivers and install new drivers.
Download the official file latest for your device from here
And try to reflash again, it should work or ultimately you will have to buy a new motherboard for your device....
You are likely to have encountered a hardware fault, assuming everything you tried were done correctly. The only fix is to buy a new phone, because of Samsung's stupid Knox policy D:

Can't flash any Firmware after installing Factory Binary

Hello guys,
I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.
I have a*Galaxy*S7*Edge*device, which installed the*rom*Samsung Experience 9.0.
Later I*format data to exfat and it doesn't work. After then I flashed any Nougat Firmware and lost my Imei and Baseband.
Number.
I googled until I came to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...ssues-t3379516
I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.
Installed FACTORY BINARY Firmware for G935F, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.
After all that, i tried to*install*Stock*Firmware*via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.
In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PITfile*with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the*device*forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to*mountSystem*(Invalid argument), I returned to*install*Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.
Again I try to*install*the Stock*Firmware*and Odin always stucks in*System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock*Firmware, with and without PIT*files, always without success.
Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when*device*restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the*display:
"Recovery image signature check Fail"
"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."
My Question also is: What do I wrong? Or is my Phone bricked?
Device:
Galaxy S7*Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = DBT = Germany
I really need help, please.
I am facing same problem with my s7 edge g935fd. But in my case i lost imei of both sim cards & lost baseband version. I tried z3x samsung tool. But i didn't found model g935fd there.
Waiting for help
I am having the same problem with an S7 (G930V). During one of the re-flashes, I was able to install the Samsung Product Info App. The CSC product code came up as blank. Not sure if this is normal for this state. Any leads would be appreciated.
