I got my Note yesterday from a phone shop and my screen has loads of lines across it when dark colours are displayed...not happy! Its not damaged so its not my fault I only noticed last night and its been stressing me out.
I rooted the phone earlier and also I installed the ICS theme, can I get back to original state before I go to return the phone, help needed please! Thanks.
try settings, privacy, factory data reset. if that doesnt work, you may need to flash.
Reflash back with the stock regional ROM, Although I have no idea yet as to where to get the ROM.. last time I checked with Samfirmwares they dont have it yet.
Anyone know of another way to unroot, maybe by using the unrooting method?
Here is how I rooted, I used this guide in the following link http://knowmydroid.com/guide/root-samsung-galaxy-note
...so you know what method I used so that you can tell me the proper unroot solution, thanks.

Can I use this rom? http://www.filesonic.com/file/40770...000XXKKA_CSC_N7000XENKK1_PHONE_N7000XXKK5.rar
The link came from wikipedia and is a Europe rom
I have no idea what ROM came with your phone, might as well check with the store and download the correct ROM.

How do I do that?...ring them up? I bought my phone from the Carphonewarehouse incase you have an idea of what rom it is
I have the update rom on my phone, all I need is either another rom or the stock theme to remove my current theme (ICS) so that they don't know I had root, then I can unroot my phone.
The phone will be unrooted in the process of flashing a stock ROM. Did you pull a nandroid when your phone was (almost) still stock? You could restore that against the theme. As for root/unroot, I did jot down my original version: XXKJ4. I find that ROM, I'll be fully stock again. Check the thread of the root solution you used, there might be instructions on how to unroot. Also there is a dedicated how-to-unroot-thread in the dev section.

I'm also interested in this.. I would like to root my phone, but I don't want to lose the warranty.
SAMMOBILE
Anyone in the UK who like me purchased their note from carphone warehouse, if you hop over to sammobile, you will find for the N7000, a nice stock rom listed for the note, and it is the carphone warehouse version..
I have it as backup to flash just in case it ever has to be reurned, but for the record, for those that did not know, As long as it has a rom that is stock for your region on it when you return it then its fine, Flashing or upgrading a stock regional rom does not affect your warranty, so dont worry about binary counters.
I think custom roms and kernels do affect warranty tho.

If u flash any other firmware yes u will increase the counter which is hidden and no option to make it 0 so that way u loose the warranty however as far as I know if u flash back the Indian firmware and give it to service incase of any repair etc they myte not notice 50-50 chances
This i m telling bcoz after flashing any stock firmware the phone status etc shows official

On my Road to Rooting & Roms etc
Right my only experience with Android is with my Nexus 7 & S4 LTE GT-I9505 baseband 19505XXUAMDM both with Nova Launcher/developer options used for a faster/smoother experience so just to get some understanding on the structure/model of Android please could someone who's well versed in Android answer my questions with LINKS where possible:
First my goal is to debloat my S4 to make it faster and free up space, then i'd like to overclock my S4 safely as im getting a Zerolemon battery when they arrive shortly so juice wont be a problem, i need some sort of recovery so that if i mess it up i can revert it back to stock and IT DOES NOT void the warranty incase my phone develops a fault in the future, now i wish to allow my external 64gb Samsung SDXC card to be used for apps/games etc
so the questions are:
i have read that Foldermount has to be done manually for each app is that the best method?
and is there another method or ROM that its built in so it can do this automatically so installed apps go straight to the external card?
i have read that you can get ROMS with built in recovery and are ROOTED is this the best way to go or to do ROOT<ROM<RECOVERY each one separately?
What is Binary Counter ? i believe its something to do with Samsung knowing youve been tinkering and voiding warranty
What is Custom kennel ? no idea
Best way to currently root my S4 ?
and make backup/recovery so Samsung wont know for warranty purposes ?
Best way to overclock my S4 and make it faster and slicker ?
Best way to debloat my S4 ?
thx in advance

Folder mount is the good option for now may be in the coming days u ll have easy option as samsung is allowing app to sd card in cmng update will get to know in cmng days
Before installing rom u ll need to ROOT > have RECOVERY > once u have that u are all set to play with all different available Roms for ur model and ta there will be some ROMS pre rooted / with recovery
Q,What is Binary Counter ? i believe its something to do with Samsung knowing youve been tinkering and voiding warranty
A, Yes every time u flash firmware the counter increases ( Ur device will have Triangle away updated version which will make it 0 ) so ur warranty will be saved
There are couple of Roms which has already removed bloatware u can try those
havent searched for any overclock kernal / method i personally suggest stay away till all becomes more stable
However there will be some kernal which myte have or has overcloaking possible
Ever in future if u wanna make the device Stock u need to flash official firmware using odin / user triangle away to reset the counter etc
BAcking up ur current rom is possible after root and recovery thru recovery backup & Restore u can make a backup of ur current Firmware data etc

I did hear something like we won't be able to flash ANY stock ROM via ODIN again if you have Warranty bit set to 1? I didn't try yet however. Can't risk it. But what I think is we won't be able to flash those earlier builds with the older boot-loader. Or how is it really?

you can flash stock rom .. here are instructions http://theunlockr.com/2013/10/13/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3/
you will not be able to flash stock rom when it warranty bit 1, this afternoon I tried to take it to samsung service center Indonesia, but they could not flash the original stock rom, because the ic flash is broken and they replaced the motherboard for free, and now I am just waiting for 3 days
@semeru
Your experience was a little don't make sense, was that so easy to break the IC with only warranty bit =1 after flashing stock rom and root it???
sammy was crazy to make such a low quality device, if this make sense, then you really freak me out because my warranty bit = 1. by the way how you could get free replacement if you got warranty bit=1? As I know Indonesian people always looking for someone mistake for not claimed a free warranty.
Here's for you :
I've root my note 3 N900 since XXUBMJ1 XSE and set everything into custom then I downloaded a full firmware from sammobile XXUCMJ7 XSE and successfully flash via Odin without fail and everything fresh like a new device. and Now I've rooted my N900 with XXUMJ7 XSE and warranty bit = 1.
My root method was flash CWM via odin then install superSU via CWM. Now if in the future I want to flash a new firmware, did zi get the same problem as you got? :crying: Please advice
sorry I also do not know, people in samsung service center said just like that, she said flash ic damaged, because I was flashing a rom via Odin many times and get the warranty bit 1. but i think she dont understand about warranty bit 1, because she does not discuss at all about warranty bit 1, they alone just can not re-flash the original rom, then they ask me to replace the motherboard that I offered for free because its still guarantee, so they can re-flash original rom, I was a little lie, I told her I bought a used note 3 from a friend, and never know about root. so i'm save

Hey mate! How is battery life on XXUMJ7? I am still on Stock MJ6 Rooted with Warranty bit = 1. Upgrade? Battery life better? thanks
@Stanley
No change but a little smoother on touch screen, but battery looks worse than XXUBMJ1, playing Temple Run OZ 1.6 a little fast draining battery life. I've trying to minimize battery draining by disable unused application in app manager like trip advisor, S-Health Samsung Link, Samsung Watch On, and S-Translator, and other application that seems useless until my RAM run at 1.16Gb than the first 1.77Gb. Then find running application that were not useful but always running at startup, but keep in mind if you disable an app, then you cannot use a related app you have enable it back.

You're really smart with that reason
Ok, there's no other way but to believe on what you said. My N900 now be the same as yours.
By the way, you flash what kind of ROM??? last week I just flash this Original XXUCMJ7 XSE to clean the my root and make a fresh install.
I haven't trying flash odexed ROM.
i got this warranty bit 1 after flashing that file via odin, maybe its contain its new bootlader, and i got bootloop on samsung logo, all i can do is just flash custom rom from dr.ketan.

If sammy said that flash IC is damaged and you get change into a new board, Now I have just tried flash a modem via Odin and it flashed successfully. if they said flash IC damage, we couldn't flash anything include CWM and modem.
I just want to go back to stockrom, just because I want to sell this note 3 and want to buy xperia z1 instead. I was very disappointed with the samsung, so I try to re flashing at authorized service center.
edit: yes i still can flash CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900, n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025), modem, csc, even my note 3 in a bootloop, but i just can't flash stockrom
@semeru
That sad you dissapoint with note 3.
Maybe me too, battery is going down a liitle fast. and sammy now playing with warranty bit that real scared user who want to mod their phone. really dissapoint, sammy don't realize how great modifying phone. modifying firmware always better than original stock firmware.
Thank you semeru for info. :cyclops:

One last question, what was the meaning of a bootloop???
no, i really loves this note 3, first i want to root my note 3 cause the battery life is worst, my note 2 is much better battery life, then after rooting it, i lost wifi, so i tried to flash stockrom, and i got this warranty bit 1 and bootloop
my fault because i'm not reading about why my wifi didnt work, but if you lose wifi, you can try in a build.prop ro.securestorage.support=true - change to false.
I actually do not really understand the languages of android, but as i know bootloop is you just stuck at samsung logo and can not boot into system
EDIT : hey, this afternoon samsung send sms that they finished and replaced with a new motherboard on my note 3, when I check the warranty bit 1 in download mode, no longer exists, but the current binary : samsung official , system status : custom but no root, and software update says your device has been modified. software updates are not available. bootloader N900XXUBMI5
I just bought my Exynos N900 phone and I'm about to flash a stock ROM just to have the latest version.
My Warranty Bit is 0 yet. Do you say that after flashing a stock ROM that would increase anyway? And if it goes to 1, I'd never be able to flash a Samsung ROM again??? WTH?
By the way, I'm in MJ6 as it came with the phone.
Thanks
if you have warranty bit= new boptloader(MJ7 bootloader) you only able flash stock MJ7 And newest roms cant able to flash old roms because u have new bootloader

hi, i just got my note 3 n9005 international a couple of days ago & now its time to root...you can say i am a little new to samsung because the last device i used was an s3 & that was a long time ago.....
i dont have any warranty so knox isnt that big of a concern unless it may cause some sort of damage to the phone...so far i have read..its only for warranty purposes like the flash counter for s3.
i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point me to rooting & everything else i need to do to install custom roms including recovery...
i tried to read through the instructions of root de la vega but i find it too complicated...so i was thinking of doing cf auto root....
thank you

Samsung issue a 24month warranty on the Note 3 (maybe country specific?) -
If KNOX isn't an issue for you and you do not mind tripping it, the CF-Auto is the way to go.
RDLV is complicated if you're lazy, but it does preserve KNOX status depending on your bootloader version, put in #*1234# into your dial pad and post the results. We can know if you can use RDLV.
However, if you want to flash a Custom ROM, then you will need a custom recovery, which will trip your KNOX (can't be done without) - on the Android dev section and Orginal Android dev section (in this sub forum) are some Custom ROMs and the instructions on how to do so.
I have used X-Note, Crash and am currently using AllianceROM, but there are a few others.
Just be careful with custom kernels until you're pretty confident cause you can bootloop and ruin your EFS quite easily (it is fixable 99% of the time tho, script is on here also)
EDIT : All you need is here pretty much
thank you for your reply & these are the stats
AP: N9005XXUDMJ6
CP: N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC: N9005EVRDMJ4
also RDLV is way too complicated for me & besides i do plan to install a custom recovery so i think that defeats the point ....since you seem to have tripped knox, there hasnt been any kind of system issue i hope? this whole knox business gave me cold feet when i read about it...but so far as i can see..its just a flash counter.... could you tell me the tools i need to get started with? i already downloaded the usb drivers & odin 3.09..is there anything else i should need?
p.s. i was reading about "before or later MJ7 4" whatever...& i was wondering which of these was it refering to? ap? thank you
Once you trip the knox counter it makes no difference to the phone except not being able to use knox containers, and of course the warranty which you know. -- if you have the drivers and odin. Go grab cf-autoroot, run it thru odin and voila all done, similar for twrp or Cwm which ever you choose as your custom recovery (I use twrp) flash in odin and that's it all set.
Just make sure and I can't stress this enough, that you flash the right ROM for the N9005, and N900 doesn't work. - avoid doing restores with twrp for now also when you do a back up, some issues have arose recently and not sure of they're resolved or not yet.
Have fun man, just read everything about the ROM etc before you flash the odd one has FC's or NFC issues
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ok so backing up & restoring with recovery is, for the time being, a no no? yes i will make sure to see if the roms are made for n9005 only....i will probably start off with omega roms as they are the 1st choice i had when i started modding the s3 ....thank you soo much mate for all the info...1 last thing to clear up is i am reading on developers talking about MJ or MK or whatever it is....are they talking about the build number i find in Settings/About??
1 thing i couldnt get a proper answer for...is how does 1 know they have the international variant of the n9005 anyway? normally if a n9005 is under some sort of carrier...the carrier logo would flash when booting up right? because thats what happens on my brother's note 3 n9005...when he boots up his phone..it shows SFR logo before going to the samsung bootanimation.....but on mine there is no such thing...the simple note 3 n9005 text then samsung boot animation & then straight to system...that means mine is the unbranded 1 am i correct?

Yeah yours is unbranded, only thing that may/will apply to you is region lock (which unless you're leaving the country your purchased your phone in isn't an issue at the start.
Although I see your CSC is EVR (if I recall correctly that is EE UK's firmware on board)
EDIT: Yes MK/ML are build numbers
no i dont have region lock..THAT i checked...so can i go forwards with all the rooting recovery & custom roms? i did find a orange core services apk on my apps manager under ALL tab..... also what original firmware can i roll back to incase anything goes wrong? any specifics?

Yup can go forwards. EVR (EE aka Orange/T-Mobile) have unlocked phones so yeah you won't have region lock. Which means yours is unbranded but carrier unbranded.
As for firmware, it depends on what region you are using? And what country you are in (you could use BTU (also UK, unbranded but EVR is ok also) - You are **now I say this depending on your country/region** OK on MJ7 or MK2 IF you upgrade since you're using a UK based ROM/CSC your network obviously supports it. However battery life is better on lower than MJ6. So it's your choice really.
Most custom ROMs are MK2 or ML2 atm I think, - Not sure if any upgrade your bootloader to MJ7 (if they do, you can't roll back any lower currently)
i just need a stock firmware so as i have a fallback if anything goes wrong...nothing more really as i plan to stick with custom roms...will this do?

yea i was wondering about the battery life myself...i dont know what version my brother's note is but his battery lasts noticibly longer than mine does....i was even planning on swapping batteries as i thought it might be a cell related issue

As long as your bootloader doesn't go to MJ7 - that firmware is OK, If your bootloader updates ( I think it may with the custom ROM) you can't roll back to MJ6, you can go to MJ7 or MK2 via BTU which will work for you since EVR works.
the latest omega is ML2 so by that measure...i wont be able to roll back to MK2 either & the latest on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459328 is MK2

the bootloader only goes to MJ7 (last I checked, If it has changed then mine still lets me roll to MJ7)
csc seems a very complicated mess...GOD when did the mod friendly samsung go this crazy? the s3 was the most fun thing to mod...now this feels more complicated then Sony's!! :'( since my csc is EVR...is it possible to put BTU? i saw someone post this but didnt get any replies... http://www.usofttech.com/t128991.html
OH CRAP you said this BTU already...sorry my bad.... just trying to absorb all this
1 last query & i think i can start....with my current MJ6 build...can i do the cf auto root? or do i need to be on a lower build? if i can...then i think i will start or should i wait for the MJ7 to finish downloading & root that with cf auto root? & mate...thank you... you helped clear a lot of the confusions stopping me from modding this...now i think i can start things with a bit of confidence...thank you.... MUCH appreciated

You can CF root straight away, - since you're triggering KNOX anyway it won't affect you. Then on with custom recovery etc, just keep MJ7 as your stock back up on your PC just incase. and IF you run into any issues with EFS (bootloops/no signal/wifi/baseband etc) use THIS It has saved me and quite a few others.
EDIT: And no problem man, glad to help, we all start somewhere with new devices
mate....the odin inside the cf root is 1.85 & the 1 got from google is 3.09 which should i use? & is PDA & AP the same thing because they are diff in the 2 versions of odin

I use 3.07 personally - and flash using PDA -- Use the one with CF root if you're unsure
the phone is rooted ahhh feels like home again ....mate you said earlier that restoring backups on twrp causes system issues....i was wondering if this is true for just twrp or ALL current recoveries in general? which recovery would you suggest? also i was wondering about that script you told me about...the 1 about soft brick.... that fixes corrupt efs due to flashes yes? if so, does that mean it doesnt require my backup of efs?

TWRP has issues *sometimes* there's a few posts about it around, I personally have had no problems and use TWRP fine, but I mentioned it because what works for one, doesn't always for another.
As for EFS backup, keep it just incase -- IT seems Android can rebuild the EFS again with that fire script. -- It's handy though, gotten a few out of the crapper including myself
Hello 2 all !
i use the stock roms for my S4 ,most offen i use kitkat 4.4.2 versions.Today i reflash my phone and i get this stupid msg on notification : '
""Security notice' stating - 'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required'"" .. and this one is blocking the wifi to off, and i cant get it to ON the button rest grey after rom booted. .
I reflash many time with diffrent roms versions (only kk 4 4 2 from sammobile) the probl is the same on every rom i flash !!
I think is releate with KNOX crap but im not sure ,The only way to have wifi on kitkat again is to flash another kernel after i flash the stock rom !!! I really need help with that because i need some stock version for daily use.
I try kies ....same results.... i try odin..same results ...wifi dont start ! I delete wpa_supplicant from data/misc/wifi ..nothing.... no wifi ! Most of all when i open kies to reflash new firmware it say kies NO SUPPORT for youre model any more !! whtf???? i use to reflash with kies many time for fix trubles,and now...no suppot this model ??
I so many users with this problem but NO FIX for it !
Pls... if anyone can fix this or post an solution, i really apreciate for it .

I do not think I missed the point. Your original post only mentions KK but not LP which is why I suggested LP. The last line of your original post even states the ROM in use on the phone.

No worries. Thank you for clarifying the situation. Your English is fine.
I don't know which version of Odin you are using but I always use Odin 3.07 because I have never had a problem with 3.07.
Do you have a pit file for your phone? Flashing the pit file with the stock ROM in Odin might solve the problem.

This is coz KNOX blocked the wifi access.
SOLUTION:
1. Flash via ODIN the latest android 4.4.2 version to your device: THIS ONE.
2. Root it via ODIN with CF-Autoroot.
3. Using Root Explorer (for example) delete all the KNOX entries: GUIDE.
4. Reboot your device. You should have wifi now. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset your flash counter to complete the job. Done.

Install this APP and add screenshots pls.
You mentioned that you tried kies in your post but Kies didn't support your phone. It could be that the updated ROM is supported in Samsung's smart switch.
