[EDIT] : softbrick has been fixed but now I have Baseband UNKNOWN and IMEI NULL
currently on stock 4.4.2 Poland.
So I have a SM-9005 note 3. Just recently bought it. Came with 4.3 stock. I decided to jump on the custom rom bandwagon (for which I feel like killing myself). Anyways it shows the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue screen" .
Here is what I did:
1) rooted the stock 4.3
2) tried installing CWM which probably tripped my knox and now I have 0x01
3) I wanted to install the X-NOTE 4.4.2 build rom
4) Came to know that official 4.4.2 update is required to use Xnote 4.4.2 rom
5) Followed this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608178
6) Tried to flash the stock poland 4.4.2 fw using odin .
7) Got -> invalid exr4 image !!
Now , I'm not sure if the bootloader has been updated to 4.4.2 . I think I screwed up after this:
Managed to get CWM Recovery running. I tried to flash the X-Note 4.4.2 zip thinking that the bootloader may have updated to 4.4.2 in the previous failed flash. The process stopped half-way and I got back the CWM recovery scree. So it did not work.
Now the odin mode shows the following:
PRODUCT NAME : SM-N9005
CURRENT BINARY : Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK : OFF
KNOX KERNEL LOCK : 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 0X1
I can access CWM recovery. I have no idea how to proceed . Please help :crying: . Currently I'm downloading the X-Note jellybean version. Will try to flash that via recovery . Will that be fine

You can certainly try it, it's actually very difficult to hard brick any device.
Soft-bricked my ex-device (a S4) so many times I can't count them anymore. You've got Odin, so worry not!
My advice: go back to full stock 4.3, update like a normal person would to 4.4, then do like a normal XDA member and root it, and go from there.

Is your Note 3 from Hong Kong?
If it is 32GB, try the second link in my signature.

Well, if you bought it in Hong Kong, it might give you a clue.
Anyway, is your device a 32 GB varient?
Also, is CM working fine?
What bootloader do you have?
Take a look at my post from a few days ago, it should fix it.
edit/ Just noticed there is new version out, so you can try that one.

Phone Info app from Samsung tells me that the device is Made in China.
Bootloader Version: N9005ZHUDMK1
Baseband Version : N9005ZHUDMJ9
Original CSC Code: XSI
CM11 is working without any problems so far. Google apps and downloading also works.
My device is the 32gigs version.
Also one more thing : i totally do not understand why X-NOTE 4.4.2 kitkat version is not starting up. I'm stuck on the samsung logo screen after installing the ROM from CWM recovery. Also, only the JellyBean version of CWM works and not the KitKat version. Does it have something to do with it. Anyways I installed TWRP but still failed to boot up X-Note 4.4.2 version. I am so badly missing the Touch Wiz features ... :crying:
X-Note Jelly Bean works !! I confer that my Bootloader is still 4.3 . Now how do I go about upgrading safely to Kitkat ? I have the Hong Kong version I think .

The ZH baseband is from Hong Kong only.
And MK1 is Jellybean.
At which step do you get the invalid ext4 image error while following my instructions?

Hi all!
Yesterday I was finally able to root my ITV NG1 firmware (post 3June) manteining Knox 00!!!!
I'have used the genial idea of the mythic _alexndr from Note3 forum and Toweroot!
How to:
1 - download and flash with Odin (in my case ITV) NG1 firmware from Sammobile;
2 - download and install Towerloot - NOT USE NOW;
3 - download (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97141308/p605/NEE-P605XXUCNF2 kernel.rar) and flash 4.4.2 NEE NF2 kernel (this firmware is older than 3 june);
4 - now you are able to root the device as usual with Towelroot (there are a lot of guides on XDA);
5 - download (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97141308/p605/ITV-P605XXUCNG1 kernel.rar) and flash 4.4.2 ITV NG1 kernel.
6 - Check root with RootChecker anch check Knox00 with PhoneInfo;
7 - Enjoy!
IMPORTANT NOTE
Obviously step 5 (as is) is just for the owners of ITV devices, otherwise you need to have the proper kernel.
How to?
1 - Download and unzip (with winrar or 7zip) your firmware
2 - Take BOOT.IMG (that contains the kernel) and use it with this (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97141308/p605/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad (1).zip) wonderful tool by mkk_mourad to prepare the .TAR of your proper kernel.

DO ANYTHING AT YOU OWN RISK
What device do you have? We only concern with P600. Anything else is easy to root and keep Knox @ 0x0.

I'm speaking about P605 (and i haven't yet read nothing about root on fw dated after 3 june)!
I just want to thanks and confirm this worked flawlessly on my P605 with TPH CNG1 firmware. Thank you!
[Question removed. I just realized trowelroot never worked for P600, not because of the post June 3 Kernel date on the NI1 firmware]
very nice it works perfect

I used the kernel linked to by konroma on my P605XXUCNG1 malaysian firmware set and it worked fine for rooting with towelroot (although I had to re-sign in to my wifi). After rooting I extracted the boot.img from the original (Malaysian) firmware as per the insfructions and flashed that back in, so now I'm back on to latest stock kernel again but with root.

Hey XDA Devolpers readers, can someone help me?
Two days ago I root my Samsung Galaxy S3 NEO version 4.4.2 via Odin 3.10 and CF-Auto-Root (downloaded from this WebSite).
Before i root my device, all work's perfectly (I used programs that require root and work perfectly), but when passed 2 days, I opened SuperSU and a message appeared saying :
" There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.
This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the revelant forums for your device! "
I tried to update but it did'nt work.
Can someone help me? Thank's! Sorry for my English..
Root again with 4.4 method. Check development section or my signature for twrp + root
I just updated my phone to OK1 firmware running on 5.1.1. This si the China variant and not hong kong. I was wondering if there is a working root for this firmware? I've tried the CF auto root of the 4.4.4 version but it sends me into a bootloop. I've searched everywhere but can't find anything. Any help will be appreciated.
I can't root N9100 android 5.1.1 (N9100ZCU1COK1) by root file CF-Auto-Root-trltechn-trlteduoszc-smn9100.zip for android 4.4.4.
Then is there no way to root for that firmware?
anyone? desperately need Gapps on my phone right now...
Hi. I have installed an aurora rom with version 5.1.1 N9100ZCU1COK1 and I'm rooted. But I just kept the root that I had before updating so I didn't use CF-Auto-Root or anything else this time... have you tried kingroot?

If your n4 is sm-n9100, bought from China, you can directly flash TGY n9100 rom, I got my n4 couple days before(SM-N9100, trlteduoszh), original rom is China version: N9100CHC1COK1-5.1.1, then just download TGY rom, N9100ZZH1BOF2, which is the latest TGY rom, android version: 5.0.1. After odin flash, do doubble wipe, then everythings just fine. like the orignial hongkong N9100, of casuse you get the stock google apps.
I got ota information yesterday, tgy rom got update to N9100ZHU1COL2-5.1.1, I'm not sure to do update, cos I'd heard 5.1.1 won't get root for the new "reactivation lock" issue, anyone have experience of root your tgy 5.1.1?
Chainfire has a new autoroot for N9100 5.1.1. You can download it HERE

I eventually rooted the phone and it's too easy to be true. I downloaded it's specific twrp, flashed it via Odin without the battery so it won't boot up after flashing, then boot into twrp recovery and flashed SuperSU.

N9100 only supports B7, it does not support B2 and B4. And this is the reason why you get a weak signal (B7 is high frequency with poor coverage).
Using the custom recovery posted above I managed to get root. just boot in download mode and remove the battery after that, flash twrp recovery from above link with odin (you can make a flashable .tar.md5 yourself or just use this one:
https://mega.nz/#!xNslVYLa!zDQdqxVyam7H2Q8xzvZnyQ7DyhPqy2jgs1TE1fLEJjo
. put the battery back in and boot into recovery, copy the supersu.zip (I used the latest one from this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/1012/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip?retrieve_file=1 , but you can use the latest one). Flash it and reboot normally. Don't let twrp root your phone (it will ask you to root when you select "reboot system" from recovery, just select don't install root, or something like this).
Note that the above rooting method worked for the latest 5.1.1 firmware (from 10 October 2016) for Hong-Kong, PDA N9100ZHU1CPI3, CSC N9100ZZH1CPI3.
You can download the firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/102145/N9100ZHU1CPI3_N9100ZZH1CPI3_TGY/
Also, that firmware fixed some rotation issues I had with the previous one.
