Samsung keyboard FC

Yesterday I have received my new Note 3 and I really like it, up to now...
Came with MI7, I rooted this build via URDLV. Then I used Mobile Odin Pro (to retain the old bootloader and not trip 0x1) to flash to MJ8. After that, I was unable to use the WiFi, as it tried to turn itself on but couldn't. Figured out that I should flash the corresponding MJ8 modem, did that, but WiFi continued not to work UNTIL I did a factory reset and voila: it worked! But now I have another problem which is far worse, every few seconds I receive a message that "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped"!!
Checking the version (*#1234#) I noticed that I am running both AP and CP as N9005XXUDMJ7 but I am missing CSC! It used to the Open Germany = DBTD. Coupled with the MJ7 that I downloaded (named N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005DBTDMJ4_N9005XXUDMJ7_HOME.tar.md5), there's suppose to be DBTDMJ4 together with it, but I don't see it after flashing. Am I missing something?

Are you sure? I have read at several places, that flashed via stock via ODIN trips it. Isn't that also the reason why everyone uses Mobile Odin to flash to MJ7? If I flash stock MJ7 via Odin, how do I regain root?
Do you have any idea, why I'm missing my CSC and how can I flash it back (without using stock ODIN approach)?

Thanks to Killberty everything is working great now! knox 0x0, latest MJ7 modem and built and root retained:

[Q] N9005 Bootloop using Kn0x0ut

Hi guys
I wanted to try X-Note on my Note 3 which was Stock rooted MJ7.
So first I used kn0x0ut to do a backup of System, Data and EFS, then went ahead and installed X-Note, did the usual data/cache/dalvik wipes which the script does.
That didn't go too well, for some reason I got a boot loop, not like I have now, but where it wouldn't even get to the OOB wizard.
So I decided to just restore the backup I made, which also didn't appear to go very well because now I have a phone which is acting very strangely.
After the restore screwed up, I used ODIN to restore my original MJ1 ROM. Previously, I had gone from Stock MJ1 to Rooted MJ1 with RDLV, then updated to MJ7 via Mobile Odin Pro.
Basically what's happening now, is it will boot up to the OOB wizard, then I'll get a message that says "Process system has stopped responding", usually followed by "Samsung keyboard has closed".
Wifi doesn't work, it says I don't have any sim card installed and my baseband is "unknown". I've only got about 20 seconds to look around before it will reboot. Most apps that I try to open like the dialler just FC as soon as they open.
What I've done so far (which I REALLY wanted to avoid) is installed TWRP so I could at least flash something else, not via ODIN or Kn0x0ut (which I will NOT be using again!). I managed to restore the EFS using dd but it didn't appear to do anything. I've also tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403 - that didn't help either.
I'm pretty stuck now, since I have a voided warranty and no usable phone....
Any help would be great, I really need to get this thing working again!

Your fault was to try to flash mj1, even if u had mj7 before.
Try to flash mj7 or mk2 with odin and you shd be fine.

I had that brainwave myself this morning.
I guess mj7 upgrades the efs in some way that's incompatible with mj1?
I did try xnote mk2 and got the same issue, but that's obviously not stock, so I'll get mj7 and mk2 stock downloaded and give it a go.
Cheers!

With our powers combined! It worked mate
Cheers! Where's the thanks button? Maybe it doesn't show cause this is like my third post ever...
I'm guessing then that the device needs to be on the same level as any custom rom that I want to install, and if I want to upgrade to a higher level I will need to flash stock first?

[Q] Rooted with RDLV, how can I update to latest firmware?

I know ive read this somewhere before but i cant find it now.
Dont i have to create a custom image to flash via odin? An image with the new firmware but old bootloader?
Any pointers would be grateful!

Ive had a look round a few threads. I managed to untick 'Enable superuser' and tick 'Survival mode' in SuperSU.
Then i tried to do OTA but its telling me my system is up to date

OtA And urdlv is a bad idea, otas upgrade the bootloader.
Use mobile odin pro to flash latest stock fw and tick the everroot option

Can I update from the official KitKat firmware through Odin or Kies and *not* lose an

Hi, I am a total noob in the area of updating my Note 3, so please guide me.
I want to update my Note 3 with the official firmware of Poland through Kies or Odin ( I know how to do that)
But one thing I'm afraid of and don't know is whether I will lose all my data (apps OR Phone data) if I update through Odin or not?
Just a note, I am trying to keep my Note 3 totally unrooted, untampered with in any other way. So will updating through Odin also increase my Knox number?
Thanks.
Best regards

Via ODIN will wipe your data/factory reset. -- Via KIES off the top of my head I cannot remember as it's been a while since I used it.
Official firmware will not trip your KNOX, and has been confirmed safe also/

You 100% need the new bootloader for it to work and even boot properly, and you will lose root. MOP won't work.

Anyone thinks android 4.4.2 can be falshed with mop, keeping 0x0 root and it will start withthe old bootloader?

I wouldn't try flashing kitkat with mobile Odin right now. I think the app needs to be updated for kitkat. It soft bricked my phone when I tried but pc Odin worked fine.

Unable to flash stock BTU after XEO 4.4.2

I was one of the impatient ones and flashed the stock Polish 4.4.2 onto my N9005 and rooted with CWM. Everything has been fine but now I wish to flash my regions stock rom BTU unbranded. However every time I do so via Odin 3.09 I am presented with the Polish welcome screen and when you look in the settings it's still the XEO firmware. Even the System Status and Current Binary shows up as Custom still?

It's known problem, u need to flash first single csc firmware e.g Singapore & than BTU multi csc.

Thats great thanks. This was the missing link I needed :good: I shall also assume that the Custom/Modified status will always remain due to KNOX being tripped to 0x1

Im aware of the Xposed method but that has to be rooted. If there is no other way I shall just go back to being rooted I guess
