Doubt
Hi, good night,
I live in Brazil. Does anyone of this firmwares works for me?
Thanks

No sound in calls after flashing
I flashed this along with CWM 6.0.4.6 yesterday, and when I was making a call this morning I noticed that the in-call sound was gone. Everything else is working, but there's no sound either in the earpiece, headset or speaker.
Anyone know what might be causing this, and how to fix it?
Flashed the nordic countries, and this is the current versions:
AP: I9506XXUCNG3
CP: I9606XXUCNF3
CSC: I9506NEECNG3
Edit: Solved! Disabling some settings in xposed and rebooting fixed it.

I`m exactly in same situation as you, but I`m pretty sure there`s no another method. I decided to wait for month and then root my i9506.

Exactly the same case here too: upgraded my old S3 to a S4 i9506 black edition last week and now waiting a moment until rooting again for the reasons you mentioned before. But I've always had this thing bothering me while waiting for daring to root: what are we waiting for? Something unexpected and bad happening to the new phone? Just wondering, since I'm not even sure what I'm always waiting for with every new phone I buy even though I know perfectly well that I will need the root sooner or later (preferably sooner).
Also updated to latest -NJ -firmware and working just fine, haven't spotted anything wrong at all after a week of heavy usage.
P. S. This reply doesn't belong in Q/A section I believe, but it's apparently forced there because of my low post count...

[Q] Need help -- Should I Root or OTA update first?

hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S4 sgh-i1337M with Fido in CAanda. I would like to Root and enjoy my phone as it should be.
Before doing anything, I checked for software update on the phone in settings, and there is one that is 100.01 MB. Looking up that size, I think it has something to do with this number (my modem version??):
I337MUMUFNK1 -- which comes up when I search google for an update of that size which is OTA and for my phone.
Samsung and Fido and Google say to call the 'others' as they do not know what this update is for. WTF! Nobody knows what the update is for??
------------------------------------------
My phone info:
I am on 4.4.2
SGH-I337M locked to Fido in Canada
BASEBAND: I337MVLUFNE1
KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758
[email protected] #1
BUILD: KOT49H.I337MVLUFNE1
------------------------------------------
The baseband seems to be what the update will modify??? (ignore this if its dumb)
MY QUESTION:
Should I root the way it is now and disregard the latest update?
Should I update the phone now, as I won't be able to receive OTA updates in the future and then Root? (I know I can always do whatever I want after rooting.....
it would still make sense to do this update now, then root as its just easier that way).
Thank you in advance to everyone who knows the answer to this and responds!

The device sections are for the phones themselves, not the carrier that you're with, so the section that this thread has been moved to, and today I provided links for, is the correct section for this phone.

[Q] I want to update to Lollipop! Help needed!

Hello Guys.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) UAE model. (LTE - Snapdragon 2.27 GHz quad core model)
Baseband Version: N9005XXUGNG1
PDA: N9005XXUGNJ2
CSC: N9005OJVGNH2.
Presently there is no official release of Android Lollipop for this model. I have bought this mobile from Kuwait and now using in India (Unlocked). I have searched on Google and many other Android forums about flashing Lollipop ROM using Odin but I have many doubdts regarding the procedure. I hope you kindly clear my doubts.
1) According to many forums and google search results - We can flash any country's SM-N9005 based ROM and it will not affect usage of the mobile in any way except that my baseband will be changed. Is it correct? If yes will it not really affect my mobile?
2) If I can flash any SM-N9005 based lollipop ROM, which countrie's ROM should I download so that I will not loose any options am having now on 4.4.2 Kitkat like 4G support, no battery drain issues, wifi or bluetooth connectivity problems or any other software related problems.
3) If I have any problems (If I upgrade to lollipop) can I roll back to kitkat again? If so how can I do it?
Please help me with these questions guys. I have checked sammobile site for downloading SM-N9005 based ROM but the site is too slow or the site itslef is restricting in terms of download speeds for free users. On my 20 MBPS connection am getting a download speed of 15 kbps. That really sucks. So can you provide any other alternative links for downloading ROMS (if available)?
Thank You.

Buy premium.
Noting in the world is bug free.
If you can't use Odin read again and again and again. Because even when you download it from sm.com you can see install instructions there. It is everywhere. Or watch YouTube to use Odin. Easiest thing.
You can use open German or any other country for 9005 other than Hong Kong. Same thing different names.
0 answers because it is boring to answer same **** again and again. Search the forums here.

Lol kenny1991
Have you even understood my question?
My problem is not with odin. If you didnt understand my question read my question again and again.
Btw thanks for suggesting premium usage!

1 it will not affect usage of the mobile in any way except that my baseband will be changed. Is it correct? If yes will it not really affect my mobile?
<< baseband is modem so you may have no or poor or good network >>
2 No comment
3 Yes by reading the forum there are enough identical posts.
4 downloads samsung-updates or as said premium .
Agree you need to read and learn these are basic questions that are already answered .

JJegan
I have searched forum enough to find a suitable post. But none of them directed me exatly what I needed, for the fisrt question. I really can't find a post that says which country's ROM I can flash without any major problems.
If you can give me a link, I will be glad.
Thank you!

Upgrade confusion. Note 3, N900A stock to 7

Trying to update my Note 3 to android 7 but running in circles.
Progress:
Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.5
Rooted device
Uploaded rom to SD card*
Boot recovery mode, select ROM file
Run install
This is where I keep going in circle.
It keeps telling me cannot verify file, verification failed. (does this twice)
Then says update successful, wipe data, format etc.
Reboots back to same old V4.2 again and of course the apps I installed to work on phone gone and have to re-register with Play store to get them back.
How do I solve the error "Unable to verify file"
( also is there a way to stop it wiping data every time if it has failed to update anyway?)
*ROM
lineage-14.1-20180110-nightly-hlte-signed.zip ( this may be wrong rom but the names are often confusing me because the links in upgrade note 3 take me to that rom among others so I assume it is for a note 3)
Any help pin pointing the ACTUAL, CORRECT ROM welcome.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Qualcom MSM 8974

What am I looking for on that post? I have phone rooted.

The AT&T Note 3 sm-n900a has a locked boot loader and can only run custom ROMs created from a stock Samsung lollipop ROM.

Update:
It was my understanding (perhaps wrong) that Safestrap was a way to work around the locked bootloader (ATT) The video on the main topic on this talks about a Verizon phone even though the topic is specific to the ATT note 3. Are they identical with regard to Safestrap etc?
As of now I have Safestrap installed and working. Boots with open lock/Custom on boot screen.
My confusion arises from conflicting videos at YouTube one suggesting Safestrap won't install a custom ROM followed by another that says it will?!?
If it won't exactly what is the purpose of even installing Safestrap if you are still stuck with the exact same android version and all the ATT bloat?
-edit-
FYI currently phone no SIM not provisioned but was used on ATT then switched T_Mobile service (consumer cellular so I can switch between those two. ATT and T-Mobile service suck here but at least with T-Mobile I have WiFi calling on my J2 which avoids poor signal issue at home. Hoping to move back to Note 3 if a good update can make it Wifi Calling enabled )
So far the only reply here has been to tell my my bootloader is locked. Since instructions include using Safestrap as a work around that really does not help me.
At the start the guide was to upgrade the phone to Android 7. Things seem to break down for my understanding of all this if the only work around is Safestrap and if that cannot install a custom ROM how do I get from here to 7/Nougat?
SIDE QUESTION but important.
Having downgraded from 5.0 to root device, I am not getting a request to accept update from ATT ( back to 5.0 I assume ) which I deferred for now. The question regarding this is, if I permit the ATT push back to 5.0 on my rooted device will I lose that root access and have to start all over again? (Darn I don't want that)
Sigh...so confused.

EDIT
I'm reposting an edit to last because I can't figure out how to get the edit/addition to appear. LOL

So the whole topic of upgrading Note 3 to V.7 is a dead end? I'm stuck with a phone downgraded to KitKat from 5.0 after having rooted etc? Will a custom ROM for lollipop let me delete bloat then upgrade to Nougat?
The whole topic of upgrade to v.7 for note 3 is confusing because after two days of reading and trying options I seem to get no where and cannot even find a definitive answer regarding actually upgrading this phone?

There are no nougat ROMs for the n900a.
Safestrap is only good for certain roms and twrp can't be installed on an n900a with a locked bootloader.

Useless phone?

Okay so I wish the whole topic on installing V7 on Note three just started saying if you have an ATT Note 3
READ NO MORE, all hope is lost!
I read numerous posts on numerous sites telling me I can upgrade this phone and none stated up front ( Does not apply to ATT versions ) leaving me to saving a text file full of instructions, links, a folder of downloaded files etc. all aimed at my N900 phone...none of which is valid.
I guess I will just restore to factory and sell in eBay if it is a useless phone other than to put on ATT or T Mobile as a plain old phone full of bloatware.
That or just load my music library on it and bluetooth it to my stereo as a juke box.
*sigh*

Actually I believe I posted this topic under the forum for the phone in question, Note 3? I was inquiring about the actual device not about ATT per-se.

As AT&T has a locked bootloader it has little relevance to Note 3 International model.

So if I obtain an international GSM version I should be able to update ROM?

I don't think the international version supports LTE in North America.
