Hi,
i have a galaxy note 3 n9005 , when i bought this phone,my android was 4.3, after i update my phone via odin (without select bootloader update option in odin) to android kitkat 4.4.2 poland NB3 , and now i flash my phone to ND3 holand via odin and without select bootloader update...
i use odin 3.09 and official roms.
my knox is 0x0.
now, i have a question.
when i need to select bootloader update in odin?
Android OS and android system battery usage is too high ( about 25% android system and about 18% android OS).. is this mentioned to bootloader update?
When there's a huge update which cause rom not boot up coz u never update the bootloader.
Hehehe. Basically when u jump over from different version example 4.3 to 4.4, yes u need update bootloader.
As long as ur rom can bootup shld be no problem.
But if u update from ota, normally the bootloader will be flashed together, as samsung as much as possible wants all to apply new patch on the bootloader.
The android os and system usage is high, due to all crap and bloatware.
But, with this on top, battery usage still acceprable.
U can remove or disable all that bloatware. That's what I do.

yes i download roms from samsung-updates.com and update via odin.
how can i find my bootloader updated or not?
If u want newest bootloader, since u r on nd3, and never choose to update bootloader, means u r still on the old bootloader.
If u still want to update the bootloader, u can go to alexndr rom, find the 1st post, there's a separate file for the bootloader itself.
Download and flash it through odin, at pda/ap, don't change any option, connect phone in download mode, click start.
It will finish in seconds.

You don't have to select the "update bootloader" option in odin, it's useless. When you flash a stock FW, BL will get updated regardless of whether you have that option chosen or not.
When I upgraded to kitkat I flashed just the BL and didn't select that option and bootloader was upgraded without any issues. I helped 5 or 6 others update to KK(some flashed just the BL and others the full FW) and they didn't select that option either and the BL was updated..

You have some options:
1. Flash a custom firmware through custom recovery.
2. Download the latest firmware and flash it through ODIN. For know what firmware is the best for you, conect it to Kies and tell me the 3 letters close to ur CSC

Does flashing firmware through odin void warrenty?
there is no way to get official update via software update or kies?
its just the update didt arrived for your country and there is 2 solutions :
1- wait till the update arrive
2- download & falsh the Update VIA Odin
if you flash it with odin nothing wrong will happen i just recommend you to backup everything :good:

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

Get a 4.4.2 fw and flash with windows odin. Not really familiar with mobile odin. Find fw for you country csc. Flashing other csc fw sometimes requires pit file so better get the 1 for your country or originally came with the phone.

Hi,
Im from the netherlands and noticed that the update for 5.0.1 is available.
I have the Exynos (N910C) version android 4.4.4 rooted installed now.
I have changed dpi settings true xposed.
What is the best way to update to the new version 5.0.1 ?
Thanks,
Roy
I have used the auto root to root the stock rom.
N910C is Exynos, not Snapdragon, so choose your ROM carefully.
Best way to upgrade is to backup everything first, then install new ROM with Odin (download correct version from sammobile), then root using your method of choice (I personally recommend flashing TWRP recovery and choose root on exit).
After that, you can restore everything you need from the backups.

Your device was rooted and no way to upgrade 5.0.1 via OTA. The only way now is download latest Firmware (for your Area) on Sammobile.com or similar website then using Odin to upgrade. Remember: full wipe on recovery first then flashing FW via Odin on Downloadmod.
Thanks for the awnsers. i meant the Exynos, sorry for that.
I havent tryed to update it true normal update way becouse i thought this wasnt possible as my device is rooted.
So i might try if i can do this?
Roy
OTA will fail because you tripped Knox when you rooted.
Besides, lollipop brings a new bootloader, modem and csc, so even if you choose to flash a custom lollipop ROM, you still need to upgrade those using Odin.

I have installed the 5.0.1 version true odin without doing a full wipe. I still have all my apps and files and it seems to work oke.
Did i have to do a full because of the battery draining stuff? or is it oke like this?
Roy
Should be fine as it is, but a full wipe once in a while never hurts...
If you notice something wrong, battery drain, lag or even applications force-close, then why not... perform a full wipe and restore your apps and settings gradually.
Make sure you backup everything, i failed my stock update to android 5..0.1 (OTA), and now i still didnt found anyway to get my data back, it remains dead there

I have a Samsung Note 4 (N910C) on 5.1.1 (COJ5) firmware. I have rooted the phone and put a RunningLite custom rom. There is a custom rom that I really like which runs only on 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 bootloader and not 5.1.1. Is there any way to downgrade the bootloader? I read somewhere that the COJ5 bootloader is locked by Samsung and cannot be downgraded? Is there any way to unlock the bootloader? Pls advice. Thanks!
You're not the first one to ask this. I have an SM-N910F (SnapDragon), and these have no problems downgrading. But looking around XDA, I've seen numerous posts saying the N910C (Exynos) can't be downgraded due to the bootloader. Since I don't own one, I can't really verify, but looking at the sheer number of people reporting the same thing... You know
-RFB
No we cant downgrade

the new security patch update of march in note 4 locks the bootloader completely and prevents downgrading while before the update, the bootloader was unlocked and it was easily downgradable, I've seceded in that too..
now, after the update, the bootloader updates to COJ5 and above depending on areas and countries..
so its simple, any bootloader above that means you cant downgrade and any bootloader below that means its downgradable..
heres the solution,
firstly, you'll have to downgrade your bootloader
heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...37&postcount=3
download any bootloader below COJ5 of your current android version and model, that is 5.1.1 i guess..
exctract it and flast with ODIN in "BL" box..
you'll now have an unlocked bootloader..
than factory reset/ wipe data, wipe cache..
next, flash 5.0.1 via ODIN, factory rest again,
than finally flash 4.4.4 for your model and factory reset once more..
boom!!! you're good to go..
hope this helps

my bootloader was not COJ5, it was COK1 with XSG firmware,
i managed to downgrade it to COH4 and downgrade the firmware to 4.4.4 XSG
you can give it a shot..
might work..

I personally haven't tried it but i wanted to downgrade for better battery life. I'm not sure if mnanabhai21's method is safe and tested by others. And in general, I'm scared to tweak samsung devices :crying:
5.0.1 for me was terrible. Last time i remember, battery was good(?) but i had constantly had horrible performance in games/benchmarks. The one right b4 COJ5 had good battery life and performance for me.
the CSC is the problem, thats why Odin always says FAILED!!! at the end .. when he wanna flash the Hidden file.
Today i was downgrading from MM to KK.. just take latest LL firmware from your region (csc .. in my case DBT), flash the thing and than if you wanna KK do the same princip, but with same csc

I Found a way to unlock the bootloader on coj5 through samsung kies
1: open samsung kies 3 and choose the 4th option in the up left side (tools) an then choose the 2nd option (firmware upgrade and iniciation)
2: in the new window introduce the phone model (SM-N910C/F/A...etc) click ok, now introduce the S/N: (which you can find in the battery´s place and for do that you´ll have to remove the battery from your phone and search the S/N on it ) once you have done introduce it such as it is, click ok, follow the steps put your phone into downloading mode and wait until it finishes ... and thats all enjoy :silly:
I have a look through the threads and could not really get an answer I know would suite my situation exactly.
My question is this, I am currently running the latest Resurrection Remix ROM (6.0.1) and am wanting to install a ROM like AryaMod or another custom TW ROM for the Note 3 (not ported).
Can I just install the ROM through recovery?
Second question, my Baseband version is currently N9005XXUENA2 which I think is old - should I update to the latest bootloader and if so how do I go about this? This one I am really needing some easy to follow instructions as I have not updated the bootloader before.
Sorry if there is already a thread with this, I couldn't find it.
Thanks.
You say baseband then say bootloader .
One is not the same as the other .
Baseband is your Modem .

Ok, I am obviously a little confused. Where do I check my bootloader version? And how to I update that? And should I also update my baseband/modem?

Done, I did the cold boot and everything seems to be running smoothly. (Should I notice a difference in performance or battery at all?)
As for installing a Custom TW Lollipop ROM, do I just flash it through recovery and not have to do anything else? As in coming from 6.0.1 AOSP back to 5.1.1 TW is all fine?
Thanks again.
I recommend a full wipe in recovery before flashing another rom?
