Need help with my brand new Galaxy Note 3 N9005

[Dennis Zheng]

I got this phone from Ebay a few days ago. It was in a random restart loop. I looked it up on the internet and thought it is a firmware issue. So I tried to upgrade it with Odin. I do not know what firmware was installed since I had a hard time even to set the phone up(the restart loop was that bad). But then I kept getting this error message when I used Odin. Here is the log

I tried adding a PIT file but that does not seem to help. The screen on the phone has a added line: ODIN: Invalid ext4 image

Please help me. I just bought this phone and it's brand new. Thank you guys.

Try flashing it with a different system.img file.

Did you check the md5 sum for the build you downloaded? If it does not match, you probably downloaded a corrupted build.
