3 months ago i flashed a custom rom for the first time on my note 3 SM-N900(MagMa_NX_VX1_XDA_N900), it worked perfectly fine, i had no problems. Now for a week i was facing battery issues, so i changed the battery and everything went normal, but i read somewhere to reset your phone after replacing a battery for better performance. So me being a dumb guy, went into TWRP, and reseted and deleted EVERYTHING. So there is no OS for my phone. I have TWRP installed, so i can access that, i also have an SD card. So i tried reinstalling the rom(Downloading the rom on my laptop and transferring to SD card, very slow process), but it failed, saying my file is corrupt and missing md5 file. I tried installing the orginal os(image) through odin, but i feel iam doing something wrong there(The device doesnt restart and odin doesnt say pass). PLEASE HELP ME, WOULD BE GREATLY APPERCIATED...

P.S Solutions in step by step please, iam not a proffesional at this.. PLEASE HELP
 
Hello!
That firmware (OS) file, where did you download that from and what version of ODIN are you using?
Also, I'm sure you've triple checked that the firmware version you were trying to flash with ODIN is the correct one for your make/model/carrier?
 
It's been a bit since messing with ODIN.
Looking at sammobile, I think I see your model but just wanted to be sure as I was seeing this:

If it is indeed the SM-N900, then I see a bunch of other countries/carriers here:

Try flashing a valid stock ROM and get your Note 3 working again. Flashing a stock, Samsung will install a clean, unrooted Android OS, along with a stock Recovery so after you get your Note restored to a functional state again you'll need to go through the root process again. Go here to download the appropriate ROM:

Be sure to choose the ROM that matches your carrier, don't mix and match. Stock ROMs are very specific and not interchangeable.
Read through this guide for step-by-step instructions on the flashing process:

Regarding sammobile or updato, both are good sources for valid, verified stock Samsung ROMs. One thing to keep in mind when using sammobile is unless you sign up with an account with them, the downloads will take a very, very long time. They intentionally restrict bandwidth from their download servers for non-users.
