I have just had an OTA update to kitkat but after the upgrade, the phone keeps rebooting. I have tried switching it off, take out battery, clear cache, but it does not solve the problem. Can anyone help please?

Which region? -- reboot into recovery and clear you cache/dalvik etc -- you could try grabbing the stock and reflashing it via Odin. (it won't hurt your knox etc )

XME Malaysia. Already rebooted into recovery and cleared cache. No change, problem remains. Stock still not available in samfirmware yet as it was just released today. Can I flash the polish version and reflash to xme version later when it is available? will it trigger knox, wipe data, etc? Please advice...tq

So long as you do not have the HK Note (which since you have XME I assume you don't) the Polish version is fine, then yes you can switch to XME when it's freely available. At least by doing this, you can assess whether the phone is at fault or it's a hardware issue.

TQ for your advice. So, flashing to official polish rom and back will not void 'official' status or trigger knox? will it also wipe data in the phone?

It won't trip No. The Official XEO version won't wipe any data either.
Same here
I aave the Sprint version and installed a 4.4 ROM over 4.3 .Phone is now stuck in reboot loop . I've wiped everything (Along with factory reset)and installed latest CM ...no dice. I've tried to set persmissions again from TWPR ...no dice.
What can i do ? Again....Sprint version (N990P) updated to 4.4 so i can't go back to official 4.3 ( and no official rom for 4.4 yet ).
Please

Is yours Exynos or Snapdragon? -- You could try the N900 Russian 4.4.2 update, or the N9005 Polish update. Not entirely sure if they'll even work tbh -- you probably won't get any data though it'll be calls only until your official ROM comes out (unless the new updates have Sprint settings or you can manually set the APN)
EDIT: PS 4.3 baseband ROMS like CM won't work since you've update to 4.4 boot loader..

Did you ever experience anything from this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49663665#post49663665
Had the same issue too. Upgraded OTA to Kit Kat and was stucked in reboot loop. Deleting cache partition in recovery mode and booting in safe mode doesn't help. I fixed it by resetting it to factory default in recovery mode. If u didn't back up for data beforehand, try removing the SIM before rebooting. It worked for me and it allowed me to back up via Kies before wiping it clean in recovery mode later

I have solved this bug by turning off the location service in connection settings
When the device boots i can access the settings before it reboots again and then make the handphone in airplane mode
Then after few minutes i can turn on the wifi
Then I turned off the location setting
Then turn off the airplane mode.
I cannot believe that samsung let the update goes to its users with such a big error.
N9005 (Malaysia) stock (not rooted)
Hi guys, I am new here, I am now finding help anywhere about my Note III recent problem...
My note III is SM-N9005 Malaysia version, I did root it with CF Auto Root and I had been using it without problems until yesterday morning,
This is my case :
I realized my alarm was written "Clock has been not responding" and I lost my network service, then I tried to restart my phone,
Since I restart, it became worst, my phone went into boot loop and sometimes freeze on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen,
But in a few times of reboot, it will be able to boot into homescreen, but still no service for the network, and everything processes work extremely slow, even freezing and crashing!
What I tried to do to fix it :
-I went to the Samsung service center, and the technician said that my warranty is voided (Ofcourse I knew it), and he told me that this problem is due to software problem instead of hardware.
-I did flash my kernel with stock kernel again which was downloaded from Sammobile, but it did not fix my problem,
-And I tried to hard reset and factory reset of my phone, it did not help too,
-I am also tried to clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot the device, it didn't seems working...
I have already done what I could but I still yet to fix my phone, what should I do now, any experts can guild me?? T^T
Thank you

I didn't really know about EFS while I root my phone, I just knew it recently due to my current issue, so I didn't backup it....
Is there any other solution??? Or could I recover my EFS eventhough I didn't do a backup??
BTW, thx for reply~

check your internal card or sd card for a folder called Backups or something similar, if your running a custom rom normally EFS is automatically stored there if your custom rom does do EFS backup automatically at install....if not do a search on the forum for EFS RECOVERY or re-flash your rom it may help or may not, but im sure it wont though...
also read though the link i sent you there maybe some think there that may help you

Thanks guys for the replies
-I went for a search for the backup folder in either of the storage mentioned by I didn't see a file called "backup"... I think I deleted it since the factory reset I've done yesterday, I went to many forums hat talk about EFS, and it wont help my problem cos all of them are talk about "Backup/recover", where I didn't backup my EFS earlier...
-I tried for the IMEI code, that's the reason I know about EFS, it shows "null/null", and most the information are showing unknown, such as baseband version, IMEISV, IP Address, Bluetooth Address.
-My current situation is whatever I flash into my phone, it just wont help, the problem didn't improvise at all...
Thanks..

download Stock firmware from sammobile or samsung updates
turn phone off, boot into recovery mode wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
turn phone off, boot into download mode
use odin v 3.09 load your downloaded firmware into AP, check update boot loader box, don't check anything else and click start.
once it finishes flashing, it will reboot by itself.
if it fails then you might want to repeat the process above one more time.
if still fails u might want to do emergency recovery via kies.
Good luck and hope this helps.

I have tried the odin method and it didn't work...
Now I am trying for the kies emergency recovery method, and I will reply if there are any improvements...
Hi guys, I think have some new clues to determine my problem now
I flashed a custom recovery into my phone this morning,
and I realise that my /system, /efs and /firmware-modem is unmounted,
I tried to mount them, it was successful, but when I reboot the device, the problem still there,
Boot loop, no IMEI, no Baseband Version, Lag Processes,
and I went back to recovery again, I realised they have been unmounted again...
Any idea what is the problem guys??
Thx

Hi there,
I have tried the kies emergency recovery method, but it was unsuccessful,
My note 3 was connected to the kies, but when I run Emergency Firmware Recovery,
My device was instantly disconnected with kies
And I have also tried the Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation,
The Kies showed me that my device is not supported with initialisation...
Anything I should do??
Thx

i actually found a different kernal in the omega thread and that seemed to sort it, thanks tho
Howdy, att s5 active was acting up so i downloaded the stock ne4 firmware from sammobile and flashed it via odin. Now the phone is stuck at the s5 splash screen and refuses to boot. I have tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and performing a factory reset to no avail. I have also tried using the firmware upgrade feature in kies but this did not work either. I am at a loss if anyone could point me in the right direction to help me get this thing working again i would be very appreciative.
The phone is completely stock , never rooted or messed with recovery or anything like that.

For anyone experiencing issues similar to what I was i believe i have found a solution : eventually i was able to get 4.4.2 to boot fully up - but then began to experience random resets. What I did was go into developer options and switch from dalvik to art. After all of the apps were done optimizing the s5 active now works perfectly, without issue. Hopefully this information helps someone else get theirs working properly.
hello
What firmware you flas first time? ???4.4.2???

yeah the ne4 firmware .
Can anyone direct me on this? I used ODIN to flash the new lollipop update 5.0.2 on my friend's A5. Odin went successfully, but when the phone reboot, it got to the ANDROID UPGRADING SCREEN... Optimizing Apps ##/197 ... and goes for a while and gets stuck and reboots and comes back to the same spot and reboots.
What could be wrong? I have wiped factory reset and wiped cache. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

Your steps seem to be correct. Maybe the firmware that you downloaded may have got corrupted. Try downloading it again and check if it is for your variant.
