[Q] Currently stuck and don't know how to fix rom - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted galaxy note 3 sm-900w8 running jelly bean. I upgraded it to the xnote 9005 rom and it worked flawlessly and today i upgraded it to the bobcat rom so that i can get 4.4 kit kat. I did it by just flashing the rom. I couldn't get past their boot icon. Then I tried to reinstall xnote and TWRP says it fails to open the xnote zip. Is there anything that I can do? Help would be very appreciated because its my daily driver.

If you was using x-note jellybean version and trying to upgrade to kitkat by just flashed bobcatrom then it's not right. You need to flash stock kitkat rom with odin then flash custom kitkat rom of your choice with custom recovery. And maybe the xnote zip has corrupted. Try redownload and reflash. Or try cwm to see if you could flash the xnote

If the ROM you mentioned has corresponding support to s4 , then yes, and it should be the same way you installed CM11

CWM 4.3 vs 4.4

I am on a stock rom for SM-N900 . Want to upgrade to 4.4 custom ROM.
I've read that there's 2 version of the CWM recovery, one for JB and the other one for KK roms. Should I use the JB version to flash the 4.4 ROM and then odin flash the new 4.4 recovery ?

If you're on JB and would like to upgrade to KK you must first flash KK with odin or OTA if available. Then flash cwm for KK to install custom KK rom.

Help Please re: flashing 4.4.2 on note 3

Hi Guys, I am fairly new to flashing and rooting. Have successfully done on my Galaxy S5 and now trying on my Note 3 - N9005. I tried flashing a latest 4.4 rom - Echoe rom and it got stuck in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Logo. Now i have flashed stock rom (Australian Vodafone) running 4.3. My question is since i am trying to flash a 4.4.2 rom, do i need to do anything specific or just flash TWRP and install a custom rom? i noticed there were 2 versions of TWRP one ofr 4.3 and one for 4.4. I am confused as to since i am on 4.3 version do I flash TWRP 4.3 version? or since i am looking to flash 4.4 rom should i install TWRP 4.4 at first place?

you need 4.4 twrp. It should be 2.7.1 I think. you also need to me sure the Rom is compatible with your phone.

During my first try, i had TWRP for 4.3, which allowed me to flash Echoe Rom based on 4.4 (latest version) for N9005, it even showed me success notification but it never booted past Samsung logo. I then flashed TWRP 4.4 version, but it then wouldn't boot in recovery. i reflashed TWRP 4.3 version and as last resort i had to flash stock firmware.
I will now flash TWRP 4.4 version at first instance and try flashing a rom again. maybe will try a different rom. Thanks for your suggestion :good:
This should be in Q and A don't be surprised if this thread gets closed ..

hello there.
u were sayin u r on 4.3 JB rom.
ur device is N9005 international 32gb right?
let me tell u 1 thing which is a good thing to remember.
4.4 rom will need a 4.4 bootloader.
since u r on 4.3, u must be on 4.3 bootloader which is incompatible with 4.4 rom. flashing twrp for kitkat won't help.
steps that u need to take (easiest) :
1. download 4.4.2 stock firmware.
2. flash with odin v3.09
3. root with cf autoroot (download the KK version)
3. flash custom recovery for KK version (twrp/cwm/ philz). I personally prefer cwm as it has give me less trouble for any custom rom.
4. u can flash any 4.4.2 custom rom now.

THANK YOU!!! This makes lot of sense.:good: I will upgrade to KK first, then custom recovery and then rom. One question? 4.4 is not yet available for my carrier in Australia. can I download and install the Poland version that is floating around internet. Or would you recommend some other.

check ur device model.
if it is n9005 international 32 gb then u can use any.
I prefer UK firmware (BTU).

good luck.

First update from 4.3 to 4.4.2.
Then Flash Philz, Deknox your phone, Reroot Via Philz.
After doing this, download the rom you want to use.
Check the firmware of the ROM and the firmware you installed, they should match. (Like if the rom is based on XXUGNG8, Then you should also flash official XXUGNG8)
Place the downloaded Rom in your EXTSD card and boot into recovery.
After that data wipe your phone.
Flash the zip from ext sd via Philz and install the rom.
Data wipe again.
And there you go
Press Thanks if I helped
