I have, but i cant seem to find what im after.
PS
I am a complete novice with this phone....a virgin.

In all honesty, you really should spend a couple of weeks reading the forums before you flash your phone.
If you don't then I can see your next thread will be cursing at us because we didn't tell you properly and now you've bricked your phone.
The "Wizard Upgrading" Forum contains more information than you will need.
Search for "CID Unlocking" that would be a good start.

Dude, read, read, read. Then read some more.
I've been reading for weeks and just flashed mine for the 1st time 3 days ago. So far all is PERFECT. So much better.
It will be all good. Make sure you back your sh*t up!!!!

Whats flashing?

I believe flashing is the inappropriate exposure of privates - I don't mean the military kind. OF course it is also referred to the process of updating the ROM of an electronic device.

Thanks guys, im gonna do that. Once again thanks.

Which "that" are you referring to?
1. Exposing your privates in a not so private manner.
2. Flash a Rom onto your Device.
3. Read, read and then read a bit more until you understand what you want to do.

^^^ lol. Im gonna do a search and read more, that's what i meant.

A bit of a problem with the OTA update today...

I hope someone can give me some advice, or help. Please keep in mind I'm only so tech saavy. I rooted my tablet last week...was happy how easy it was. Before I downloaded Titanium though, I deleted some apps off the tablet. Today comes this OTA update. It will download just fine, but after the tablet reboots, as it starts the install, an icon with an exclamation point comes up....and nothing. I have to manually reboot, and when it comes back up I get a small "update failure" box. Otherwise, the tablet seems to be working without a hitch. any help would be appreciated on how to fix this.

there are at least 5 different threads covering how to fix this... was another really necessary?
Just do some searching for yourself.

Thanks for your help. You're a sweetheart.

Howdy TFordham, take a look here and see if it's any Help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097130
I'm trying to help another user in the same boat you're in. If you need some particular apps, just let me know.
--edit
I just noticed bonzer pointed you to another thread also. Good to see there's already a bundle of the needed apps listed, so that should help you out.

Thanks guys...I have to say that a lot of this is over my head, but I'm going to work on it.

I'm sorry, im not trying to be rude, but did any of you guys read the forum rules? The first one clearly states "search before posting."
That way the forum isn't so cluttered with the same topic like it has been today...

You're welcome and this kind of attitude will make that event more likely in the future. Weren't you the loser who offered Warez in exchange for help?

People don't go out of there way to help ignorant people that can't be bothered to help thereselves. If you would of bothered to read and educate yourself about the bootloader unlock process, you would indeed of found out that OTA updating with an unlocked bootloader would brick your phone.

Wow, you posted at 7:50, figured it out yourself by 8:40, so you're being *****y because in 50 minutes people didn't jump all over your post? You do know people have other things to do than wait to provide you free technical support on this forum all day.
Get over it or go post somewhere else then.

Maybe that was 26 people who didn't know how to answer your question.... A couple of those were probably you looking at your own topic, and maybe the search system picking it up.
Really.. get over it. And don't be a c*nt if you want help here.

725 & 238.

start clean from flashing HSPL4 2.08hspl and formatting sdcard to fat32. then continue

Seriously I am TIRED of seeing posts like these in the DEVELOPMENT SECTION of the HD2. If this was the Q and A section I'd still help you. But I feel inclined to post useless stuff on this thread as you have not bothered to read ANYTHING before coming here.
I know everyone starts new, but so did I and I certainly did not post in the DEV section first.
So please, get a mod to move this thread and then I may help you

first off, this post was addressed to developers because ive been told that it has a unique issue with this phone, not model of phone. second, if your not a developer, then its not addressed to you. scroll past it. third,calm down. its just a post. not, the MAGNA CARTA. im not trying to reform or change the way this forum works, im simply doing what i was told to and trying to find a developer that MIGHT need to write a different code for this phone. thats why i posted it here.

Development - where people post their work and things they have made.
Q&A - where people ask questions and have them answered.
There really is no justification of posting this in the development section, so please don't argue about that. You made a mistake, just admit you were wrong. As for your issue you really need to give us more detail. Also, if you think developers are going to take their time to specifically help you as an individual when the chances are you're the one who's made some mistakes then you're sorely mistaken.
Now, as for your issue, you haven't given enough detail. What were the exact steps that you followed? Did the things recommended earlier help?

Rooting my phone?

Hello guys.
(I tried to post 3 links but I couldn't since I'm a new user)
I recently upgraded my Note 3 from KitKat to Lollipop using this firmware and following some steps on sammobile.
I thought that I had rooted my phone but apparantly not, as a kind redditer explained to me here my thread was called "supsersu doesnt work since i upgraded to 5.0" on the /AndroidQuestions section.
He also adviced me to join XDA forums if I need help and that's why I am here. Basically I need to root my Note 3 to version 5.0 using Odin. The only problem is that I have Odin on my computer ( Here was a picture of my Odin map on my computer ) but I cant see the root file there? So my question is basically: How/Where do I find the root file?
I tried searching some on the forum but I guess my searching skills are terrible as I couldn't find something (and I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere here, so yeah my searching skills probably suck).
A huge thanks in advance!

Hello. Thanks for nothing, especially after I said that I already had searched for the solution and not found it and after I explained that I'm not very good at technology as well.
Anyway, since you "helped" me I'll help you back. But since I can't post links I'll just tell you to go to google and search for "How to not be a ****".
Good luck.

Please dude just get out of my thread already.
I wrote a thread and asked politely for help and I explained that my technological skills were bad. I even wrote:
"I tried searching some on the forum but I guess my searching skills are terrible as I couldn't find something (and I'm pretty sure it should be somewhere here, so yeah my searching skills probably suck)."
And still you gave me a cocky lmgtfy link. Do you know how to read and understand English? Cause else u wouldn't have sent that link. Unless you just wanted to be a complete ****. And judging from your replies in this thread (and some other) it's obvious that you're just a ****.
Anyone that read this thread will probably agree with me that your behavior is childish and that you're not very friendly at all.
Now stop polluting my thread, and please get out of here.
