Hi, i was using a Note 3 N900 which was TGY (HK Version i believe), its running N900ZSUCML1 firmware. By about an hour ago i got bored and decided to play with it a little, so i started rooting it using CF Auto Root, it worked and SuperSU was installed. I got a little cocky and tried to install a KitKat Stock firmware using Odin v1.85 but the firmware i was trying to flash was the Indonesian (XSE) Version. By the time i realised, Kies could not recognise my phone, i tried re flashing back to the ML1 firmware with Odin but it says fail, i think i tripped my knox warranty but i coudnt care less about it now i dont have a phone.
I looked up guides on how to recover from soft bricks, but those are only available for either SM9005 or VZW Note 3's, is there any way for the inlt note 3 to get a piece too??
Please Please Please any help would have my undying thanks! :'(

Hey guys
I have a Galaxy note 3 with Rogers here in Canada (SM-N900W8) and I know there has been 2 updates released (MJ1 and MJ4) but I havent been able to update over the air because my phone is rooted and flagged and my knox trigger is flagged as well.
Using Wanam xposed I have my status set to official and I can download the new update but the installation will fail.
Anyway so I connected my phone to KIES and it says I can update, however before I update it says if my phone is rooted its possible I can brick my phone.
So my questions are, 2 install these updates (MJ1 and MJ4), will it brick my phone? If it doesnt will I lose my root? Can I reroot on these latest firmwares and lastly is there reasons why maybe I should stay at my current firmware?
Sorry if this has been asked before. Ive tried searching and I didnt have much luck
Thanks

Short answer is NO.
I updated mine via KIES to MJ7 (I'm on the N9005) - while rooted. KIES says you "may" encounter problems but mine was fine and I re-rooted with ease (already tripped KNOX so no worry there for me) _- as for your firmware on the N900W8 - not sure if you can root with the latest firmware or not personally
Hi guys,
First I wanna say that I have samsung phone since a long time, if I post here that means I already search around xda and web to find answers.
So let me explain my situation :
I have a note 3 SM-N900 (not the 4G, not the dual SIM), buy here in China. It's a real one don't worry about that.
I wanted to update the ROM (from sammobile firmware) and here start the problems :
AP: N900ZSUDNB1
CP: N900XXUBMI2
CSC: N900OZSDNB1
I cannot find any ROM who match 100% on sammobile website ! The closest one is the one from Singapore. I dld it.
So I try to update with ODIN and fail.
I try many versions, but each time ODIN fail in the process.
Then my phone was stuck with the screen fail update connect to KIES etc... But of course this solution is not working (KIES 2&3).
And moreover my KNOX counter now is 1. I don't really care about warranty so that doesn't matter.
Then I try to use CF autoroot with ODIN and here sucess ! My phone was booting again !
But now I cannot use wifi anymore ! So I try to wipe data / cache...
Now Wifi is working but very slowly and each time I want to connect it asks me the password for the wifi.
I try to install Custom ROM but in in the bootloader my phone cannot see the sd memory...
So I am a little confused about all this version on Note3...
What can I do to update my phone with the lastest STOCK ROM (100% working) ???
Thanks
No one ?
Try flashing another stock ROM through Odin since you phone is booted up again. And make sure you have the latest Odin. I believe the latest is 3.0.9.

Hey XDA, new here but long-time lurker, I like many am stuck with 4.4.4 on my n900v and am looking for a way out. So far the only promising thing I've seen is the video for the n900a (which ihas locked bootloader as well?). I got all the files replaced for the n900v version to at least get back from 4.4.4. to 4.4.2 but Odin is failing with the sw rev check fail fused 4 binary 3 error. I am using the stock NC4 fimware and have tried several downloads, I've tried Odin 3.10 and 3.09 and made sure running in admin and everything checked that's needed. I also made sure my phone has USB debugging enabled and Unknown Sources checked. I've read that I should try a custom rom but assume that with my locked bootloader that wouldn't work either. The n900a has a locked bootloader as well I believe which is why I thought that if I replaced the files with Verizon versions the instructions in the video would work.
Is there any way back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 on the n900v or am I screwed? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Such helpful, many wows....
But serious why can AT&T Note 3 be downgraded with a locked Bootloader but Verizon can't?
Because it can't read the other hundred posts in regards to this
Just thank verizon for this mess.
Because 4.4.4 has a different bootloader which blocks out downgrading to 4.4.2. That's why you can't go back to 4.4.2 once you go to 4.4.4 and more than likely whenever Lollipop comes (rather if be 5.0.x or 5.1) they will more than likely block downgrading to 4.4.x or whatever on that too.
Yes I understand the whole locked bootloader part, just confused on why you can downgrade AT&T's which is locked also I thought? Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything but looks like Im SoL like the rest of ya. (No wonder so grumpy). Thanks. :crying:

Because AT&T and Verizon are two different companies who have 2 different requirements for their phones even if from the same manufacturer.
Verizon requires their updates to not be downgrade able while AT&T apparently doesn't have that requirement.

if you're on NC4 just use towel root v3 to root.

Use this guide from Droidstyle, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911), which should help you restore the phone back to factory stock 4.4.2 NC4. Then (like BladeRunner said), you can use Towelroot to gain root access. Just don't update the phone to any Android versions past 4.4.2 or you will lose ability to root, as there's no current root method for 4.4.4 for our phones.
Hey guys,
I'm trying to revert back to the stock rom on my N910F (UK purchase - unlocked) but no matter which firmware I download via Sammobile, it just isn't working! It says "FAILED" on Odin when flashing. The only firmware that seems to work is N910FXXU1COH4_DevBase_alexndr - but this version has constant knox notifications and I'm giving my phone to a family member who doesn't want root or anything because she's not very good with phones, she also wants the stock rom installed only.
Can anybody advise me on where I'm going wrong or the firmware I need to install? Should I attempt 5.0 instead of 5.1? Thanks in advance!

Make absolutely sure you have the proper firmware, (correct country code) and so on..
Also..do you have a custom recovery installed.? IF so, you'll probably need to flash the stock recovery from the OS your needing to revert..after stock recovery is working, then flash the firmware..

Hi Guys,
Recently got the a Note4 after being an S4 fan for 2 years. Tried to go ahead and root my device and i presume failed miserably. I don't think i did enough background research like i did before when rooting my S4.
Model: SM-N910G
Android V: 5.11
So,
I followed this to root my NOTE4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
Then my phone didn't pick up any signal and kept restarting every 2 mins once the device was turned on. So i looked around some more threads and saw a post that i should download and boot this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62241991&postcount=56
I still have no Mobile data signal and my phone keeps restarting!
Any guidance how to get it back to normal? I don't even care about having my phone rooted anymore - Or am i completely stuffed?
Many thanks!
download stock firmware from sammobile and flash with odin.
You've been doing things wrongly.
Firstly, the CF autoroot for N910G currently only supports up to android 5.0.1.
Secondly, you should not ever install kernel that is not for your specific phone model. Sprint Note 4 =/= International Note 4 Snapdragon (N910G)
To restore back to normal, download official firmware for your phone (N910G). And then flash it using Odin 3.10
Edit: Download official stock firmware from either Sammobile or Samsung-updates. Or u can use the firmware downloader created by fellow XDA member. Be sure to download the correct firmware version/carrier
Thanks guys. Problem solved!
