I am about to root my Note 3 N9005(4.3 MJ7). Then flash 4.4.2(poland) to be able to flash X-Note v8. I don't want anything to go wrong so if anybody can explain step by step on how to do that, i would be really thankful.
There is numerous guides on the forum. Alternatively, check out the first post on any of the KK custom ROMS and it'll show you how.

Yes it does but it only says how to install the rom after you got root, flashed to 4.4.2 and have a custom recovery.
So it's i bit confusing
I don't want it to go wrong when you can't reset the knox counter.
download Kitkat (XEO generally used atm) - grab Odin 3.07 or 3.04 or even 1.85 -- don't use 3.09 - unrar kitkat so you have an MD5 file, put your phone in download mode (make sure reactivation lock is off beforehand) - load the MD5 into PDA slot in Odin, flash it.
Once Kitkat is installed, grab a custom recovery (make sure you have the right one for KK) install via Odin, flash via PDA slot, takes around 20seconds, reboot and voila recovery installed.
Download your ROM, boot into recovery, flash it from the location it's saved on your phone. boot up and set up. new ROM installed.
If you have a Hong Kong Note you need to read more, if you have an NEE Note you need to read more also.

Thanks. I have the International Note 3(Swedish). Which recovery for 4.4.2 do you recommend?
Swedish falls under the NEE region If I'm not mistaken, I wouldn't flash just yet due to some major FC's with dialer and settings etc, - Need to have a read around and see what issues people have and how they've (potentially) solved it.

Oh, that's to bad. I guess Poland Firm is also NEE.
People have had issues flashing XEO on NEE devices, It's possible it may work, and I might be wrong. But there has been issues on NEE devices, could be that your device may work. But I wouldn't want to recommend you to try just in case.

Thank's for the heads up. I will wait, but i am so tired of the look and feel on TW. But just in case, Which custom Recovery do you recommend flashing for 4.4 KK when the time comes?

KK is TW based,if you want off TW try temasek's CM 11 or ProBAM with Yank555's kernel both work great, alternatively there is CarbonROM also which is doing a nightly build and looks good also.
For KK custom recovery you can use CWM by chenglu or the latest TWRP (not 6.3.7)

The plan was to flash 4.4.2(poland version) then flash X-Note v8 which requires the Poland version of the official 4.4.2.
Xeo KK roms works perfectly fine with mine Finnish note3(NEE). I have tried X-note 8.0 but it had some deep sleep problems(X-note kernel). I can warmly recommed Foxhound rom-Ground Zeroes 2.0 or clean and battery friendly Crash Rom 4.3.

What is the error that appears in ODIN? Attach one screenshot if is possible :highfive:
I have a similar question,
I have an S4 with OmegaRom, Knox has been tripped and I want to update and wipe clean to sell.
Do I need to flash the same rom that the Omega one was based upon? (I.E XXUFNC9) Or will any stock 4.4.2 rom work? As I'd like the use the latest BTU one, which is only XXUFNB8
Once I've flashed stock, I undersrtand the KNOX apps won't work again, but will the device still be updatable through OTA and KIES?
Thanks!

1. You can't sell it "CLEAN" coz u tripped KNOX. This can't be reset.
2. You can flash the Stock Rom u want, always being android 4.4.2. I have KNOX: 0x1 and i use latest XXUFNB8 without any problem
3. Yes.

Hey all!
Is it possible to downgrade from a newer (NE3) firmware to an older (ND3) through Odin or it will brick my phone because of the bootloader?
The only things I know are that 1) Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 is not possible 2) It's possibile to install a custom older rom on new bootloader and vice versa BUT I don't know if it's possible with stock roms with Odin.
I looked for a solution but nothing found and no one answered me so I opened this thread to find out a solution.
Thanks in advance.
UP still interested because NE4 + custom kernel gives problems that others doesn't have

I never actually tried going back to an older version but I really don't see why you shouldn't. As long as it's KitKat 4.4.2 just try it should work. I downgraded my Modem and haven't had any issue.
With the Bootloader worry...did you even change the bootloader? As well as the Modem you have to do that separate to the Rom, as flashing a Rom doesn't touch Modem an Bootloader!!! If you don't know how to do that please just leave it alone though unless you read, read, read a lot on how to do that.

Thanks for the reply, every time I install a new rom I make sure to update the bootloader and modem too, and from what I can read from the Synapse app I have the NE3 modem and NE4 bootloader.
I'm asking how to go back to older roms because going from 4.4.2 to 4.3 updating the bootloader with Odin you obtain only a fancy paper weight, and I didn't know if going from newer to older 4.4.2 bootloader it was the same story.

I'm pretty sure there won't be an issue mate since I flash between custom roms almost daily which are most of the time different models. If you want to be 100% sure wait for someone to confirm as I'm rooted since I got the chance to do so.
Thanks to the developer Civato I read on his FlexKat thread he correctly downgraded his bootloader from NE6 to ND6 with Odin...
So problem solved, this is definitely possible.
Thank you everyone for your replies :good:
Downgrading bootloaders on the same version generally tends to work OK, mainly because on 4.3 Samsung patched the security flaw which stopped you going <MJ7
Kith Kitkat I never had any issues flipping back and forth.--- Until it's a BL upgrade with OS Number change (IE: 4.4.3 if it has new BL) then it shouldn't work.
hi. sorry,this is probably an old thread but I need some help,please and somehow,Google got me here. I want to downgrade (not really downgrade) my N9005 to 4.4.2.
I currently have a custom ROM(resurrection remix v5.6.9,in settings it says that I have android 6.0.1 marshmallow). Also,I have a custom recovery(TWRP). Well,I would like to install the KitKat stock ROM and really did a lot of research but I cannot find it anywhere :'( . Do you know any source? And also,can I flash it with mobile ODIN? When I opened Mobile Odin Pro it said that if I don't have the boot loader for the ROM I want to install then I will experience a soft brick. Isn't TWRP a good boot loader?
Also,does it matter what version of N9005 I own? mine is: XXUGBOJ1. Could I flash smth that is not for this ..base band is it called?...
pls help
I'm such a newbie and I don't wanna mess up

Don't know if any body has noticed, but kit kat seems to have been sneakily released for us australia note 3 holders of the n9007 model.
I don't know if its available officially yet, as I can't check because I rooted the 4.3 firmware, however I am currently downloading the 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.
Now this leads to my actual question,
Seeing as we now have the 4.4.2 firmware and modem, would we be able to flash n9005 roms onto our n9007 note 3's and simply swap the modem?
I read somewhere that someone had success flashing, with everything working except the modem.
If any other n9007 would like to hit up the new firmware and share feedback that'd be great

I've done this on many N9005 custom roms without any issues (NO MODEM ISSUE to speak of). All you need to do is update to 4.4.2 for the N9007 so that you have the kitkat bootloader and modem then you can flash any of the N9005 custom roms as you please. I've flashed these roms in the past without any issue (ASSASSINROM V4, CRASH ROM V13, N9005XXUGNG1_DevBase_alexndr.zip AND CRASH ROM V15 CURRENT)
So you can use 9005 ROMs even if you have a 9007 as long as it's 4.4.2?
In short yes. The baseband of your 9007 must match the 9005 custom rom you want to use ie. to use 9005 custom rom on 4.4.2 you need to upgrade your 9007 to 4.4.2 first.
Sorry but would you be able to provide us with a short tutorial on how to do so?
As far as I can tell, there is no way to root N9007 4.4.2 at the moment.
I realise some roms can be flashed with odin, but I'm still kind of wary as to whether or not it will be compatible.
You mentioned having the same basebands, but on my N9007 the baseband version shows as "N9007DIUCND1"
Is the DIUCND1 part the part I need to look out for while searching for N9005 custom roms?
Thanks for the help

OK...from the information you've provided...you're on 4.4.2 for the N9007 if not update your firmware to this version. To root simply use TOWELROOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793071) then install recovery app...either CWM or TWRP - I've been using TWRP 2.7.2.0 without a single issue. Then chose and install an N9005 custom rom via TWRP or CWM. I've installed and used the following roms without any issue (Echoe ROM v15, Alexndr - N9005XXUGNG1, ASSASSIN_V4, CRASH_ROM_V13 and CRASH_ROM_V15)...the only thing you cannot do is install bootloader and modem belonging to N9005.
Fantastic. I have yet to install a custom rom, but I am ecstatic just knowing that my phone is finally rooted again.
Hated that I couldn't downgrade from kitkat back to jb, but only because I wasn't aware of any way to root my device until now, many thanks!
I shall post again once I try out a few roms and see how they go.
Thanks again, you've been most helpful!
Sorry, would you be able to link me to the correct TWRP for the N9007? or the one that is compatible with it?

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anyone could provide me how to root my galaxy note 3 n9007 Kit Kat? I tried CF-Auto-Root but after i flashed with odin it just stuck in bootloop.
I also would like to try custom firmware, is it possible to install onto this phone?
I got one more question do i need to unlock bootloader?
How can I check my bootloader status?
Thanks for your answers.

I too have this issue and as explained clearly you cannot use the N9005's BL or CL on a N9007 device - it causes a bootloop or stuck on logo.
I cannot find the BL or CL for Australia (optus) anywhere, not even an older version.
Flash latest stock firmware for BL etc.
Hi, I have a N900W8 (Canada) and I am in Lollipop. I am looking for the Marshmallow bootloader & modem for N900W8.
Also, im looking to root my phone other than the cf auto root method. Because after flashing the cf-autoroot for n900w8, my buttons stopped working.
Thank you.
There is no marshmallow bootloader or modem.
You can flash SuperSU from twrp.
What bootloader/modem can I use for a marshmallow rom?
Just use the latest LP bootloader and modem.

And for the supersu, i just need to flash twrp then flash supersu from chainfire website?
Thank you.
There is no MM bootloader and modem because Samsung never released a MM build for the Note 3.
Yes, just flash twrp and Chainfire's supersu.
@audit13 do you know how to get the modem and bootloader from a stock firmware (tar.md5) ?
Not sure if you can extract it from a stock rom but it may be easier to just flash the entire rom in Odin.

Okay, I'll do that. Also, do you know what custom kernel is compatible with stock rom N900W8VLU2DPG1 ?
AFAIK, there is no custom kernel that is compatible with the stock Samsung ROM because the Samsung Note 3 apps require a Samsung kernel.

There is a custom kernel for stock note3 lolipop firmware which is called lean kernel, idel kernel, ater97 kernel and shinto kernel.... Do ur research before saying thinks u don't knw about ok bro.
@jgun007, I said "AFAIK", I never said there wasn't a kernel for the Canadian note 3 sm-n900w8 which is the model referred to in the subject line of this thread and discussed in this thread.
I see that lean kernel is for the n900t (T-mobile note 3) which is not the same model as the Canadian note 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488233
I see idel kernel here but I don't see the Canadian note 3 model listed as being compatible: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/kernel-idlekernel-leankernel-fork-t3241582

I see the thread for the shinto kernel was closed and the last post was in January 2015, about 2 years ago and I didn't see any mention of compatibility with the n900w8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/shinto-kernel-t2895089
