just go here and download latest update http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005
and save yourself lot of time waiting for update
Just be aware you will change your CSC and also your bootloader to the newest. As your region hasn't updated to a firmware with the latest bootloader if you have a problem and need to do an emergency firmware restore, it won't work. Your phone will start bootlooping as the older firmware is incompatible with the new bootloader...

OK, depends how you do it. I've used Mobile ODIN Pro to upgrade firmware from MJ1 to MJ7 while still retaining root. This also has the extra benefit of NOT flashing that new crusty bootloader that won't allow root or triggering warranty void.
Also I can still do my emergency recovery as it has the old bootloader.
There are people using RDLVC to upgrade to newer firmwares but Mobile ODIN Pro is easier for me (just remember though, Knox will ALWAYS be triggered if you flash a custom kernel\recovery - this is for stock flash only).
As long as you have the old bootloader, you can upgrade using MOP without triggering Knox.
Kingoapp and Vroot have been removed from XDA as there was extra information being taken from your device for no good reason... You will probably see clone phones with these IMEI's coming out in a while...

As far as I've read, anything over MJ3 contains the new anti-root bootloader. Flashing any form of root will trigger knox warranty void...

When a device is rooted, firmware is modified (customised) so the update is not available as Samsung considers it as another firmware.
If you want to get OTA updates back, you must unroot first. Flashing again the stock firmware without rooting it will allow you to have OTA again.
You can also use TriangleAway in order to reset your flash counter for warranty purposes.

No, after returning to official status, you can use whatever you want to update (KIES, OTA and Odin).
May I suggest you to use the pre-rooted roms made for i9505. They are identical to stock roms, are already rooted and keep the official status.

Triangle away is just for reset flash counter. If you're now on official status and the Samsung's OTA is available, there is no need to keep it.
Anyway, in order to work, TriangleAway (TA) needs root. So if you're unrooted, you cannot use it.
For the other roms like cyanogenmod, there is no need of TA. Their updater will update the rom regardless of flash counter or status, as it cannot be official anayway !

I didn't understand you...but if you're speakin about sending the phone to Samsung, I think flashing it before to stock ROM and to unroot it would be a nice thing !

today my phone gave the notification of a new update. it can download it but when trying to install it it gives an error that it cant install it ota and i have to use kies?
i better didnt root because it is a phone of my employer
As you received your OTA file, everything is back to normal. However, sometimes OTA may not work correctly. You should then update with KIES or use Odin to flash the correct version.
Hey Guys just wondering
Does anyone have any suggestions on How I can go back to MJ1 from
N900W8VLUBMJ4 ?
The latest OTA update makes my phone heat up while using the phone where normally it stayed super cool.
The performance was awesome already, I am unsure as to why I took the OTA update. sigh.
I am afraid my Boot loader is updated on N900W8VLUBMJ4 which would mean I cannot downgrade back to
N900W8VLUBMJ1 ?
I would really like to revert back. I am thinking of Rooting/0X0 via RDLV and then flashing via ODIN back to N900W8VLUBMJ1 baseband version.
Thanks for any suggestions!

As you have thought about it, you won't be able to downgrade back to MJ1 due to the bootloader issue. Instead of downgrade, why don't you upgrade to MJ7? So far there is no issue with this firmware and many has reported that the modem is pretty good as well. However since you are in MJ4, I'm afraid you might not be able to root your Note 3 without tripping the bootloader. If root is not important, then download the MJ7 firmware and flash via PC Odin and you are good to go

Hey Just a quick question then. from my understanding. flashing Firmware's will not trip Knox via Odin.
(I also do not see the full negatives of tripping knox. We can avoid it yes. and it hurts warranty. does it physically damage your device?)
Thank you

So far I have not seen any reported case that flashing firmware via PC Odin will trip knox and it is quite a safe process to carry out. But it is always safe to keep a copy of your region latest firmware just in case you need to send it back for warranty.
Tripping knox or root do not cause any harm or damage to your device. Is only if you try to do something out of the norm or didn't follow the instruction posted by developer in flashing some stuff that might brick your device. So far in my country there is one reported case that the user successfully claim warranty for a faulty USB port with a rooted and knox tripped 0x1 Note 3. It's very much depends on the SC.
But if you really want root, then just ignore the Note 3 and get a good protection for your Note 3 so that it could reduce the likelihood to visit SC. If root is not important, flashing MJ7 via odin is pretty good.
Hello everybody,
I have an unlocked (debranded) romanian N9005 currently rooted using Mobile Odin Pro with Knox intact on 4.3 MJ7. With the current release of 4.4.2, I read that I need to update the bootloader if I flash it using MOP or else I'll experience bootloops.
Updating the bootloader won't be so bad assuming I'll be at least able to update to newer options with root and Knox intact since other then App Ops I can't think of any reason to downgrade to 4.3. But my worry is that once I update the bootloader, if I will ever have to turn my phone for a repair (presuming it will be something that's not caused by my modifications) I won't be able to re-root my phone without tripping Knox (since even without having Knox tripped I'd have to get rid of root before handing it to Samsung) because I won't be able to downgrade to 4.3 so I can re-root using URLDV. So basically, I also want to know if it's possible and worth waiting for a supposed method to downgrade to 4.3 that's somehow dependent on this bootloader I have. This is my first Android phone and that's why I'm not very familiar with what developers can do for these kinds of situations.
Thank you!

Chances of downgrade happening in the future are slim to non existent.
Upgrading, via Odin to Official ROM won't hurt your phone. - If you update the bootloader you Must upgrade the ROM also.
You won't be able to re-root your phone unless you update via Mobile Odin - correct.

Won't ever happen, Samsung have locked them on purpose. - Same happened on MJ7 downgrade was impossible, Samsung class downgrading as a security risk hence them blocking it.

It's one thing to not let you downgrade without tripping Knox which is fairly reasonable but not letting you downgrade at all even when you have tripped Knox and having the phone deemed by Samsung as a security risk is ridiculous. It may be my first Samsung phone but chances are it's going to also going to be my last one if they continue this ridiculous policy.

Welcome to Samsung lol.
Is it possible that Samsung might release 4.4.2 for N9005 in one of regions it's available? I read that the Mexican N900W8 has the bootloader unlocked.

You're not alone, it's not my 1st Samsung phone but it might be the last one.
Apparently you can upgrade with MOP, will still require a factory reset so backup, by flashing KK with MOP then using PC ODIN to flash the bootloader (and MODEM?). You need the broken up rom though...
Don't know for sure as I had already tripprd Knox long ago and updated to KK...
I was well aware of that but my main concern is a downgrade solution would get developed that requires the old bootloader after I've presumably already updated. Anyhow I think today I'll just update today and get rid of a worry.
Wiping everything isn't necessary, but I will still do it.
I have a rooted SM-N9005 with CWM recovery and unfortunately now my KNOX is tripped 0x1. I'm running the stock Samsung rom Android 4.4.2 and when I run the software update the message, "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" appears.
My question is when 5.0 Lollipop officially rolls out for the SM-N9005, how could I update my phone?
Very simple actually. You just need to download the full ROM from www.sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.
Thanks doublesdevil makes total sense.:good:

I guess the only downside to having Knox 0x1 is having to update manually through Odin. I bought my sim free N9005 overseas to use back in my country where my carrier doesn't offer this model of phone so I could forget about getting any warranty support anyways.

Baseband: COJ5
Current Custom Rom: Electron Team Ditto Note 5

Kindly let me know if anyone knows whether I can receive official OTA updates after flashing STOCK ROM.
Yes. After flashing stock ROM you will receive official OTA updates, that's a known thing by now
OK, but when I use TWRP with stock rom, can I still get official updates or it says "modified"?

As far as I know, no, as you have modified the recovery. Once you modify, you should always assume you are off the update path. I prefer not to blindly take OEM updates anyway.

as long as u have everything stock it will receive OTA with no problems. i flash to stock rom today and found out that my stock recovery mode saying DM verity verification failed.. let me knw if yours have it too.. cant find a fix for it

KNOX will void warranty and prevent you from using KNOX apps. At least in Europe, Samsung can be forced to still repair the device if the damages can be proven to have nothing to do with root.
Got my S4 repaired twice, both times with KNOX tripped in the UK.
As long your device status is official in settings.
