/!\ BEFORE YOU START, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND THAT ROOTING THROWS AWAY YOUR WARRANTY AND KNOX WARRANTY FLAG ON YOUR ODIN WILL BECOME 1, ALSO YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Step 2 Extract it, and you will get 2 zip files (ROOT.zip; RECOVERY TWRP.zip).
Step 3 Extract RECOVERY TWRP.zip, and you will get a file named Recovery.img .
Step 4 Open Odin (any version of Odin *recommended Odin3 v.3.09*) and put the Recovery.img to PDA(on Odin3 v.1.xx) or AP (on Odin3 v.3xx). Then, boot your device to download mode and connect it to your PC. After that, hit start button. Flashing will be finished less than 15 seconds.

1. Yes, it happened after I had installed the 4.3 UEMK4 update (India leaked).. I just want to have a custom ROM, thats why I have to root it.
2. well, the simple thing is.. you gotta download the previous version of Odin (I suggest you to download the Odin3 v.3.09. It works well.)
Glad you liked it

yes you can do that, but let me warn you once you've installed the 4.3 rom youll get the knox bootloader and after that if you root your phone your warranty will get void and you cant revert it back.. there are many good 4.3 custom roms available.. you can go for that if you want.. i would suggest DN3 rom since it is 4.3 rom n has all the note3 functions.. but then again its ur choice
Will this work also for mk9 bootloader

Thanks for your suggestion, I don't really care about warranty, just wanted to make sure i do not end up bricking my phone by downloading 4.3 India firmware on my UAE note 2 running stock 4.1.2.Yes i've been following the 4.3 custom roms closely and DN3 seems a good choice. Perhaps i'll give 4.3 a shot this weekend on my note 2 and root it few weeks later. Just wondering are there any serious bugs in 4.3 Indian firmware?From what i've read people are saying no wifi bug and such,just wanted to be sure before i go ahead and download it

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device, you solely take responsibility for any damage or bricking.
WARNING: The following firmware should only flashed in GT-I9082 and not any other devices as this might brick them.
1. Download Jelly Bean 4.2.2 I9082XXUBMF2 from https://hotfile.com/dl/233057193/bed43fc/I9082XXUBMF2_I9082OXABMF2_OXA.rar.html
2. Now extract the downloaded file I9082XXUBMF2_I9082OXABMF2_OXA.rar the package included the Odin 3.07 and firmware files.
3. Open Odin3 v3.07.exe
4. Power off Galaxy Grand Duos and boot into download mode (Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons).
5. Now Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign with port name in Odins ID:COM box.
6. Add files by clicking
PIT - baffin.pit
PDA - CODE_I9082XXUBMF2_871997_REV05_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
PHONE - MODEM_I9082XXUBMF2_REV05.tar.md5

8. Finally Click Start and wait until Odin finish flashing....After complete Phone will restart.
That's it done !
Note:
If you encounter any Force close or Boot Loop
1. Boot into recovery mode (Home+ Power + Volume Up)
2. Choose wipe/data factory reset.
(THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
3. Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!
:good: THERE YOU GO, YOU HAVE THE LATEST FIRMWARE INSTALLED IN YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND !!! :good:
HIT LIKE IF THIS HELPED YOU
PS - Contact me for any help regarding this.
I think you should be less missleading if this is a "HOW TO" guide.
1. There is no order on the procedures.
2. You show nothing about flashing and applying CWM, as you mention it in the beginning.
3. It's GT "i"9082, not 19082.
4. I don't think you need to wipe data so often. Flashing a stock firmware through odin kind of overwrite the device. IMO one wipe after the flash is enough.
Hi, a noob here..
I'm still on a stock rom...original firmware...and I've downloaded the latest firmware (I9082XXXAMD6_I9082OLBAMD3_XTC) on the livesamsungupdate site...
Is there any clear steps on how can i update my phone without using KIES or the ODIN thing....whichever is the best...
And is there any infos or pros and cons after the updates of official firmwares?
Thanks in advance....
If the file has a .md5 or .tar it is best to flash with odin
If it is a zip file it is best to flash with CWM or other custom recovery

I recommend to take a nandroid backup before proceeding
* Reboot your phone into recovery mode (vol up+home+power)
* Wipe data and cache
* Reboot your phone into download mode (vol down+home+power)
* It will show a warning press vol up to proceed
* Now open odin in your pc and connect phone via usb cable
* If odin recognizes your device th ID:COM port will turn yellow or blue(or any color)
* Now click on PDA and locate your .tar.md5 file
* Make sure only Auto reboot and F. reset time is checked
* Click on start (it will take around 10 - 15 mins)
* Once complete unplug the cable and your device will reboot
DONE YOU HAVE YOUR FIRMWARE FLASHED IN YOUR DEVICE.
if any thing goes wrong restore your backupand contact me for help.

does upgrading to official firmware will all the installed apps, contacts, etc will be intact?

Yes it is possible to make one (if you cant then back up after rooting)
No everything will be deleted since you wiped your data before flashing but you can try titanium backup to backup all your apps and contacts before flashing and restore them after flashing.

Carbon or Helium I think is for non-rooted phones for backup... maybe it will do...
One more thing.... before I upgrade the firmware do I need to remove the SD card and the SIM cards?

Hey guys do some one know how to delete a post ?
Any idea what is the difference or any improvement of flashing it to the latest version of the official firmware?
I read this article on how to update to latest firmware: Updating to latest firmware
"Verify that both the device's carrier and bootloader are unlocked before proceeding. Attempting to install the firmware on a locked device may completely damage or brick the device."
What does this means? is it if the device is SIM locked?
My phone is is SIM locked on the SIM1 only but not the bootloader... is there any way to check if this is locked?
Thanks in advance...

No this firrmware will not harm your GT-I9082 because we have bootloader unlocked ans sim unlocked,
How ever take a nandroid backup before flashing so we can revert back the changes if anything goes wrong.
Just for additional ROM links I've found. All countries ROM include latest and previous version for your Grand Duos.

My phone have
Custom Binary count: No.
Device status: Official.
In the setting>about device>status>device status:Normal. Now, I'm getting on 4.1.2 from MJ5 4.3. I used the followings
1. flash the respective official 4.1.2 firmware from sammobile.com. after finish flashing , go to recovery mode and wipe data.
2. flash Philz recovery via Odin.
3. install updated 4.1.2 modem (XXDME4 / DXDMF1 / DDMG1) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044937 via CWM (at this step you should get IMEI back.)
4. root the device with CF-auto root.(CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar)
5. install Triangle away to reset flash counter.
6. full unroot super SU
7. wipe all data/factory reset .
Check the device status in setting. And then go to download mode to check again.
I'm not sure is this steps working on every Galaxy note 2 N7100. But actually I've been downgraded to 4.1.2 and I can get OTA also (already checked).
I decided to downgrade my N7100 because most of the custom roms use high RAM usage.
When at the firmware upgrade fail status,
1. Just flash "Philz recovery" via Odin.
2. After finished, Long press Vol up + Home + Power button to get into recovery mode.
3. Choose Wipe data/factory reset and "CLEAN TO IN STALL NEW ROM"
All of this step finished, Go to download mode "Vol down + Home + Power button" and flash the firmware (4.3 or 4.1.2 again).
NOTICE.
Dear all,
The latest 4.3 official firmware (MK4 or later ) has KNOX enabled bootloader and can't be downgrade. So, don't try to downgrade If your bootloader is KNOX enabled.

Remove KNOX bootloader to return to stock - using Dr. Ketan Method
Hi Guys,
I just want you opinion before i do this step. Hence asking
KNOX enabled boot loader has messed up my idea of return to Stock either via KIES or via ODIN.
I flashed the official Indian 4.3 ROM on my EU model NOTE 2 over the leaked ROM with MJ5 and it failed. I couldn't recover the phone with KIES either.
KIES will say that firmware update / emergency recovery has encounterd an error.
ODIN says FAIL and "Device Unsupported" appears in Download screen.
Shall i try Dr. Ketan's KNOX bootloader removal method to get my mobile back ? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500823 )
Can i then flash the original firmware N7100XXDMF1 on my Note 2 (EU version) ?
Would appreciate if you guys could help me on this.
I can still access the download mode with KNOX boot loader.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I just want you opinion before i do this step. Hence asking
KNOX enabled boot loader has messed up my idea of return to Stock either via KIES or via ODIN.
I flashed the official Indian 4.3 ROM on my EU model NOTE 2 over the leaked ROM with MJ5 and it failed. I couldn't recover the phone with KIES either.
KIES will say that firmware update / emergency recovery has encounterd an error.
ODIN says FAIL and "Device Unsupported" appears in Download screen.
Shall i try Dr. Ketan's KNOX bootloader removal method to get my mobile back ? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500823 )
Can i then flash the original firmware N7100XXDMF1 on my Note 2 (EU version) ?
Would appreciate if you guys could help me on this.
I can still access the download mode with KNOX boot loader.
Thanks

Same problem here
I flashed the 4.3 indian version. After 40 minutes it doesn't finished and my laptop battery is discharged. When i switch on the phone, it shows me the message error "firmware upgrade encountered".
Kies doesn't work.
I'm not able to enter in the recovery mode. I'm able to enter in the download mode. If i try to flash the rom again with odin, it shows me this error:
Any suggestion? thanks
flash recovery thru odin then maybe restore a nand backup or flash the new rom via cwm
So is there some other here already tried this step and got success??? please post location and if your from custom rom or from official rom? thanks

I'm able to flash the recovery thru odin, just do it and now i'm able to boot in recovery mode.
But i'm not able to flash the new rom via cwm because i'm not able to mount the sd card (it works only as usb storage, not as sd card mode and so i'm not able to upload the rom file on it).
I can find a solution for this, but i'm not sure it will work because now i have the knox firmware (warranty bit 1) and it isn't downgradable. Am i right?
thanks
I had to restore my efs data in order to downgrade back to 4.1.2.

I don't recall the exact steps, but I flashed my old 4.1.2 stock rom through philz recovery then ran the efs restore through dr. Ketans multi tool. Before the efs restore I would get boot loops at the Samsung logo.

Hello, I am MrGovernor.
I have recently purchased a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 and decided to root it earlier today. The device is running on 4.3 because my carrier decide to delay their releases (O2).
About 2 hours ago I then decided to put a custom recovery on it before installing Omega ROM...
Now, me being a newb, I was following about 3 different tutorials at once; I managed to get to the final stage of using ODIN to flash CWM onto the phone (n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk). Now, I did this and when my phone rebooted it got the initial loading screen and this message appeared:
RECOVERY BOOTING....

This happens when I go into Recovery Mode and when I boot normally. I can still go into download mode.
I am a newb, have I bricked my new phone or is there any way to salvage it?
Thanks a load!

I installed PhilZ Touch Recovery and that has worked fine...
However, I went full retard and 'Wiped System for a New ROM' before I made a backup...
I then tried to flash FoxHound ROM, I managed to get through the install process flawlessly, BUT, when the device rebooted it stays on the boot screen...
What can be done to fix this? As I failed to make a backup of my original 4.3 firmware...

oh man...
You are running 4.3, but you flash cwm for KK (4.4.2) ?
You should flash cwm for 4.3 instead.
Try to find the stock firmware, and reflash it.

if you have installed the ROM flawlessly and stuck at the boot screen, try go into recovery again and make a full wipe (but not the wipe for new rom). Then reboot.
But the custom ROM you are flashing is 4.3 also right ?
Because very simple, if you were on stock 4.3, and you flash custom ROM 4.4.2 without update your bootloader first to 4.4.2, the custom ROM won't run.

if your device N9005, you may use any other firmware so long as for N9005.
You can try to flash 4.4.2, but you have to tick "update bootloader" at ODIN. Please note, once you are on 4.4.2, you are not able to go back to 4.3, due to different bootloader.

That's cleared a load up! I'll install the 4.3 firmware and get back to you (Samsung's Firmware Download Servers are incredibly slow <,<)
yeah. good luck
Thanks for all the help!
I used ODIN to flash this file:
N9005XXUENB4_N9005O2UENB1_N9005XXUENB1_HOME.tar.md5
From SamMobile's Firmware.
It's all working now, and it on the 4.4.2 KitKat Built.
Does this mean the bootload has updated and I can install the 4.4 Omega ROM?
This time I will make a restore point on PhilZ Custom Recovery!

when you flash it, u did tick the update bootloader right ?
If yes, means you are now on the 4.4.2 bootloader, and you can install the 4.4 custom ROM (but please read the respective thread on how to flash that custom ROM of your choice)
And when you want to flash Philz CWM, do choose the one for 4.4.2. Try to use the latest one.
Good luck!

But... On last problem...
I've downloaded and used ODIN to install PhillZ Recovery ("philz_touch_6.08.9-hltexx.tar.md5").
It passes in ODIN, and boots straight to android.
However, when I try to boot into recovery mode, I get the normal 3 lines of text, but after a few seconds it reboots back to android...
What do?
P.S: I tried holding down all 3 buttons through the whole process (that just reboots), holding down only the Home and Volume + buttons once the text appears (still reboots)... I've also tried to Re-Flash the same version twice.
I just want to make a backup for this ROM in-case I f*ck up with other ROMs. Sorry for being such a scrub!
------NOTE----------
Installed Latest Version of PhillZ, all works A-OK!

The o.p is different than my question! So, instead of making a duplicate thread with basically same issue, I posted in here.
**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
**Caution!**The process below is only for the Sprint G900P S5 Variant! Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick.
Download:
- G900P_OA6_Stock_Rooted_ROM (File removed for safety reasons. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61362280&postcount=94)
Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" settings.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Sprint splash screen for about 1 - 2 minutes before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Notes:
1. This process will not affect your knox warranty flag.
2. The above process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OA6.
3. As of 5/7/2015 no need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are currently unrooted and on a non-"Towelroot-able" firmware version you must a)downgrade to NE5 using Odin, b)root using Towelroot then proceed with the above process.

I'm curious to see if this works...unfortnately, i can't try it right now though.
i may attempt this later today. ive been wanting to put other roms on it. so i guess if it does trip knox, thats ok.
Has anyone done this? Success? Failure? I've always read that you can't flash firmware/modem via mobile Odin.
I am currently 4.4.4 and stock unrooted. I have to downgrade to 4.4.2, use towelroot, install Mobile Odin and then I will be able to try this out.
muniz_ri said:
***I initially put this ROM together for a User in another thread who theorized that you can update to Stock, Rooted, OA6 using Mobile Odin while maintaining your knox warranty flag at 0x0. Unfortunately he inadvertantly flashed TWRP before testing this method and tripped his knox warranty flag. I am putting this out there if anyone else that currently has a knox warranty flag of 0x0 is brave enough to try it***
Prerequisites: You can begin this process from any previous Build/ROM but you must already have root and MobileOdin Pro installed.
1. Place the G900P_OA6_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM onto your ext-sdcard.
2. Using Mobile Odin select the ROM from the OTA/Zip slot.
3. Uncheck "Everoot", "Inject SuperSu", and "Inject Mobile Odin."
4. Select to Reboot to Download Mode then Flash the ROM.
5. Once the Flash is complete and you are in Download Mode flash the G900P_OA6_Stock_Partitions using Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+). Done!
Notes:
1. The above process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OA6.

Correct, all G900P firmware aboots allow for downgrading to any of them via Odin. As for the above process, even though there is no risk of permanent damage to your device it would help Everyone if someone with enough experience attempt it so that we can get accurate results. There is no point in someone with little experience trying it and doing it incorrectly then reporting back that it did not work.

I can confirm that you guys method totally works! I always thought the process was simple enough but was worried about downgrading after reading about hard-bricks on the forums. I downgraded to stock firmware version G900PVPU1ANE5 and applied towelroot. I then followed your instructions and I am now rooted on OA6 with a 0x0 Knox counter. System status shows custom of course so no chance of an OTA update, but this method is awesome! Thank you!

If you are on any Stock ROM above 4.4.2 and are unrooted, the only way to get rooted and still have Knox 0x0 is to downgrade to 4.4.2, root with Towelroot, and then do your flashes.

You might want to put this in OP so your thread is not filled with questions about how to go from an unrooted Stock Lollipop to a Knox 0x0 rooted Stock Lollipop.
Edit: I can verify that after downgrading from Stock Lollipop to 4.4.2 using the link in my post above does indeed downgrade with Knox still 0x0 as MooreAJr has stated in his post.
Hi,
I'm a new user of this phone and i'm pretty disappointed on some point... But first of all i'm disappointed because i can't get a root wihout trip knox and so bye bye warranty.
Anyway could you check if this is a correct way to get root on N910F with firmware 5.1.1? thanks
1. Open Odin and check on PDA or AP
2. put the phone in Download Mode
3. flash the recovery TWRP, downloaded from this link
Once I'm inside the recovery:
4. Install the kernel (I hope that enforced kernel is best choice) "N910F-Stock_Kernel_XXU1COH4_Root_Enforced-PhilZ.zip" that i download from here and I found on this thread by Phil3759
5. END (i should have the root, hoping no problems/lags/errors) :fingers-crossed:
Now I have another couple of questions:
- without flash TWRP, can I flash by odin directly same kernel that i post (just .tar version)?
- and if I can do that, the knox will trip anyway?
Thanks
then you have to flash the SuperSU after you did all the 4 steps found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
youll find on the botom, there is a cwm philz version to flash..
i dont think you can flash the kernel without recovery first, but youll need the recovery for roms and others stuff too, so just use odi and flash it.. i rooted my note 4 a few days ago too, im running stock rom, is the best..
and yes i think it will trip as soon as you flash the kernel and recovery..
glad to help.. this should be enough to help you root it
edit: i use philz found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/trltexx-philz-touch-t2927930
i think i read somewhere that it's better for n910f, maybe im wrong, but its good too
