[Q] Mega 6.3 update problem - Samsung Galaxy Mega

My friend tasked me with updating his Galaxy Mega 6.3 (i9205) to 4.4.2. I digested information, and got Odin, the USB driver and the boot image from Sammobile. Once I flash the file, everything goes well until... there is an error. This is how it looks like, am I doing something wrong with the tool? What could be causing this? I really have no idea.
EDIT: Oh yeah and the Mega is now stuck in a bootloop I can flash a custom recovery just fine. It's just this file that's a problem

Hi..try taking off the .md5 at the end of that file so it is a .tar only and try reflashing it and see if it works then..as sometimes this will correct this problem.

Nah it still fails at the same bit, thanks for trying though!

The phone just magically booted into 4.4.2... I have no idea what happened or how stable this is going to be but it's better than nothing!

Never a good Idea to use the pit file unless there is something drastically wrong with the phone....
Have you had any luck fixing this.. if not post the current state of your phone..
Unplug the cable and see what happened (soft brick, hard brick)... you shouldn't have used the .pit file for such a problem...

Yeah. I left my phone in a repair centre and will be £50 to fix... My bootloader "dead" or something like this!

It was fine till I downloaded Odin 1 Click download.
After that, the ohone simply won't turn on!!
Whats wrong? And What to do next?
forced download, the device is begging you to flash something.
Plug it in, odin it, and make sure you are flashing the RIGHT ROM for your device's model.

The phone isnt turning on & Odin is unable to pick up the phone. No COM detection.
And how did you get that image you posted?

Yes, I did.
Then I downloaded Odin 1 Click, which was suppose to stock ROM it. Instead, created a new problem.

get odin 1.85, kill all kies applications running on background and plug your device (power it first).
And make sure it's charged.

Unfortunatly it will fail this is a sign of emmc damage similar post here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/problem-white-screen-black-lines-rain-t2467459 << I have seen a few posts with exactly the same problem ( without a solution ) this is not a software fix it is hardware, service repair recommended

FOF6 5.1.1 Modem on CM12.1?

Has anyone tried this yet? Currently on DOB1 modem.
I have it worked
Thank you. Did you notice stronger signal or anything because I lose service randomly but my wife who has an iPhone 6 does lose service in the same area?
Did you need to flash the bootloader as well?

Personally I'd flash the entire firmware then restore cm. But I'm ocd like that
I've heard about weird issues with the newest bootloader. Have they been worked out?

Flashed the full tar in odin. Make sure you do a battery pull before booting into download mode.

OK I finally got the modem FOF6 Update to work.
I flashed the of6 modem only in Odin over ob1.
Using cm12.1
I originally came from ne6, I have noticed slower lte speeds on both the ob1 and of6.
WiFi seems faster

Intermittent black and white lines on screen

Hey guys.....
A friend of mine gave a Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) , but I have to fix it before use it... what's going on it.... Well... If I turn it on, it shows some intermittent black and white lines on the screen, as you can see

}
but, when I enter in Odin mode, the screen is ok
So, I assumed there is no hardware issue in this mobile.... so, i thought it could be just a ROM error or something alike.... so, I downloaded KIES and Odin ((3.07, 3.09 and 3.10)).... I started on Odin.... I tried to flash the stock ROM on it, but I went to the error missing PIT partition.... after I read what is a PIT partition, I downloaded only the PIT file and tried to flash it alone and together with the MD5 ROM file..... So, NO.... nothing worked....
So, I went into the KIES and tried to used the all 3 options on Tools Menu .... the first one, doesn't work ((or I don't know what to do...))... the second one works.... asks for the serial number and start the progress bar and everything. But, when it reaches 70% just stops and says there is an error
.. and the third one doesn't help... at all....
So guys this is it what I already done so far in here and this is what I know what it could be done.... any thoughts or ideas to help me here?
I'm using a windows 8.1 x64....
Thanks very much for any help and assistance here =D
I'm reading something about MSKIP Toolkit and Heimdal.... any of these works in my case?
I'm reading this thread too - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367 - but my phone does not reboot.... so, i'm stuck on step 3....
and in here - https://www.androidpit.de/forum/545386/there-is-no-pit-partition-and-re-partition-operation-failed - these guys are facing the same issue as mine....
So, no further ideas to do.... any in your side?
Cheers =D
any thoughts or ideas guys??
any ideas at all guys?
