[Q] Install new Firmware (Same Android version Kitkat) - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Please help me to move it to the correct Forum, Thanks!]
Hi.
I have this:
Model: NOTE 3 SM-N900W8
Android: 4.4.2
Base: N900W8UBUCNA2
KNOX: 0x0
And I want to update to this:
Model: NOTE 3 SM-N900W8
Android: 4.4.2
Base: N900W8UBUCNC1
KNOX: 0x0
I already downloaded the Firmware from SamMobile:
Model: SM-N900W8
Model name: GALAXY Note 3
Country: Mexico (Telcel)
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 922105
Build date: Wed, 05 Mar 2014 06:14:01 +0000
Product Code: TCE
PDA: N900W8UBUCNC1
CSC: N900W8TCECNC3
MODEM: N900W8UBUCNC3
And the only thing i need is to know how to Install this Firmware. I have some bugs with my actual Firmware:
1. The adjustment of brightness (i just can set in automatic or a specific brightness, but can't adjust the automatic level, more or less brightness).
2. Limit of data usage, I can't set a limit, is stuck in 100 GB WTF!
Will I lose "Root"?
And that's all folks!

No if you flash the stock rom with Mobile Odin (Pro) and you will keep root. Enable inject: Everroot, superUser and Mobile Odin and flash the firmware (need to flash custom recovery though). Yes if you flash with PC Odin, then flash recovery and reroot afterwards

Thanks!

I got TWRP installed, can I do it with it? If yes, how?
I don't have Mobile Odin (Pro) but, can i use PC Odin and flash the new firmware? I suppose that later I will have to install SuperSU with TWRP or with PC ODIN.

You can only flash .zip files with TWRP or CWM, tar/md5 files have to be flashed with (Mobile) Odin. I would strongly recommend using Mobile Odin, its a valuable app for Samsung phones that will benefit you for a long time. There are multiple tutorials on YouTube for how to use Odin and Mobile Odin.

Yeah!

Ok. I will consider your recommendation. But in the meanwhile I share you the file I got. Is this useful with TWRP, PC ODIN or only MOBILE ODIN?

1. Open PC Odin
2. Flash the rom with PC Odin and reboot
3. Place superSU.zip on the sdcard.
4. Go into download mode and flash the .tar file custom recovery with Odin PC but uncheck autoreboot
5. After the flash pull the battery and reinsert after 10 seconds and press volume up + menu + power and you`ll get into TWRP and flash the superSU.zip and you`re rooted and reboot.
Done!

Really thank you! I appreciate your help.

Hi,
When I opened Mobile ODIN lite, appeared this message:

Using Mobile ODIN on this device will void your warranty, as the KNOX counter will be triggered. This is not reversible...

Thats right oeps (thought you had a N900), for the N900W8 follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522858. This will not trip KNOX unless you flash a custom recovery later. So it doesn`t matter how you root, if you flash a custom recovery your warranty is gone anyway.

What you think about it?

Sure you can update and reroot, just follow the guide i posted to the letter. Its is for Canadian an Mexican TelCel users. Flashing Samsung firmware will never trip KNOX.

Is the same

There is numerous threads around XDA regarding this, have a look around and see. Read up on everything before you start messing around with firmwares.

Read about KNOX and make sure you're comfortable rooting, grab CF-Autoroot flash it in Odin via PDA and it will root your device (don't use latest CF as it's for Kitkat only)

There's no root for MJ7 that wont tripped the knox
This WILL trip KNOX. If you want root on MJ7 then this is the method you need. If you do not want to trip KNOX, Do not use it.

If you have rooted you now need a Custom recovery, you can choose either CWM by Chenglu / TWRP by TeamWin or PhilZ Advanced CWM.
Download which ever one you choose to use, flash via Odin in PDA then download your Custom ROM, reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache then flash your Custom ROM via the recovery

[Q] Can't find info about switching from stock to custom rom

Dear comunity,
I might be a complete idiot, but I've spent several hours already reading the forum and I can't find some kind of tutorial or steps I have to take to install custom recovery on N9005.
Is it really that I just need to flash recovery via Odin and that is it?

I don't mind tripping Knox. I want to flash Omega v11 rom.

Thank you!

Yup pretty much grab TWRP / PhilZ CWM /CWM and flash via ODIN and you're good to go, make sure reactivation lock is off in securty settings before you flash a custom ROM.

first...
root your device with CF-Autoroot, find the one for 4.4.2. Follow his instructions to flash via ODIN.
Once you are rooted, then you can consider to use CWM recovery.
From what I have read so far, the best recovery to use under 4.4.2 is CWM released by ChengLu (credits to him), which gives no problem in flashing the custom ROM.
But not avoiding other possibilities that other recovery also reported to be worked on some device by some users.
PS : both CF-Autoroot and CWM Chenglu are flashed from ODIN. Follow their instructions (especially to enable USB debugging & OFF Reactivation Lock.
Cheers & good luck.
Seems way too complicated, I just flashed TWRP via Odin and that was it.

[Q] Galaxy S4 back to stock help

Hello All,
I have a Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505 which was initially locked by Vodafone UK and unlocked later. I rooted my phone and I want to unroot it again and go back to stock (4.2.2). Please suggest the right firmware to download and install. If you want any details of my device feel free to ask.
Thank you in advance.
1. You cant go back to 4.2.2 if u had before 4.3 or 4.4.2 (Only I advise u)
2. Right firmware for ur phone depends of the zone code too. Install Kies 3 and conect ur phone to the pc. It will give the CSC (...) -> The 3 letters are what you need for know ur zone code.
3. Go to Sammobile.com, log and sig in.
4. Download and unzip the right firmware for ur phone taking a look your CSC.
5. Flash it through ODIN.
6. Don't hesitate in ask again if you need help :fingers-crossed:

You can't come back to android 4.2.2. The unique u can do is install android 4.4.2 (latest one):
1. Log and sig in Sammobile.com
2. Download and unzip this firmware: HERE
3. Flash it through ODIN (you have the instructions in the URL I pasted u)
4. If you wanna root it, u will void ur warranty (KNOX: 0x1)
I assume the firmware your on has knox, to confirm boot into download mode and see if there is a reference to KNOX.
If you have knox you can not downgrade. I know 4.3 was safe for a while before knox got implemented but can't remember the last safe knox free rom on 4.3.

I was going to start a new thread, but this one seems to be dealing with a similar problem to my own. I recently upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 and then to 4.4.2 all in one day. I don't like KitKat at all and want to go back to 4.2.2. Is there absolutely no way I can do this?

Nope if you flashed official Samsung firmware you'll have knox. You won't even be able to downgrade to 4.3.

I'm pretty sure I uninstalled Knox. Does that not make a difference?
What is it that Knox is doing that prevents downgrading?
Knox is an app but tied into the bootloader deep down. If you've got it in the boot loader then you can not downgrade. It's the bootloader. When knox was fully implemented it bought a new bootloader. Any one on the new bootloader can not downgrade to the old bootloader unfortunately.

If Knox brought a new bootloader, and it was released with 4.3, surely I can at least downgrade back to 4.3?
Unfortunately you can't downgrade. As 4.2.2 was on the old bootloader. As I suggested boot into download mode, volume down and power button and see if there is a knox counter. If it says knox you have the new bootloader. If there is no reference to KNOX at all then you can safely install stock 4.2.2.

I still don't understand how it is that I can't go back to 4.3, since it uses the same bootloader as 4.4.
I went into download mode and my phone said the following:

2. Can I install "Poland" version if I dont live there? Will it affect anything?
3. If I update this way, will it affect my apps?
4. can I recieve OTA updates afterwards (when they come out)?

No you don't need to unroot
Yes you can install Poland version it is safe
If you flash through odin it won't wipe anything
Yes you will receive OTA but only from Poland, but you can when it will be avabivable again flash lolipop for your country

Backup everything.
Flash just the firmware with ODIN. (Untick Auto reboot)
Boot in recovery.
Wipe Data/ Cache
Boot.
PD: If you want to upgrade later to a rooted version of L with knox 0x0, you need to make sure you downgrade to a 4.4 firmware supported by towelroot... (Like ANE2)...
REGARDS.

There's a method to do this, but you need to go back to KK Rooted... If you have the patience or the interest to do this... ask me for further steps.

First you need to downgrade to a 4.4.2 firmware supported by towelroot (Like ANE2)
In order to do this, you just need to flash the firmware through PC ODIN, no extra files. Just be sure to make a WIPE DATA/CACHE in recovery before booting after flash. (Disable auto-reboot option in ODIN)
Then root with towelroot (won't trip knox).
Then download the last version of MOBILE ODIN PRO.
When you're done with this, ask me for further steps I'll answer you in a sec, I just don't have time to write full instructions now sorry.
REGARDS.

bootloop
Hi all,
Unfortunately I ended in a bootloop. I was on 4.4.2 stock with root and knox 0x0. Followed the steps using Mobile Odin PRO (everroot unchecked, rom loaded without BL/CP) and the Aroma installer started. I checked "Rom Base" and "Wipe data" options...installation finished 100% and rebooted. Then the bootloop, I tried removing battery and power on again, same. I then wanted to go in recovery to wipe data again but it loops also when the text "Recovery Booting" is displayed. It can go only in Download Mode. I hope there is a method to not delete everything on internal SD because I've many whatsapp pics on it.
Before flashing with Mobile ODIN, I had the software update icon to install lollipop but I always postponed, could it have affected?
At this point could you please suggest what can I do?
UPDATE: Got it working again after installing BL and CP with Odin PC.
Tnx man
For a great rom
Hi,
sorry, not sure about this, so I'll ask before I brick my device:
I upgraded my rooted stock Android 4.4.2 with towelroot, Knox 0x0, now on 5.0 BNL2 since last week thanks to this ROM also with root and 0x0 with Odin Mobile Pro.
Now there are some fixes in 5.0.1 (my smartphone is working like a charm on BNL2 anyway), but if I got this right, Mobile Odin Pro does not yet work on 5.0...!? So, can I just flash BNL7 over BNL2 from PC without any issues? Do I have to wipe again? Will I have to update Modem/CSC/anything else again?

BNL7 is not 5.0.1, is just a newer 5.0 firmware, and in order to keep Knox 0x0, you need to downgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat (wipe needed) and then with Mobile Odin flash the newest version of this awesome DevBase...
Regards.

Hi .. I just tried to flash this rom but I got stuck on recovery booting in blue and nothing happens. . I also tried the polan stock non rooted rom and got the same problem.. can someone help me here.. coming from stock 4.4.2 ..
When we are in the verion 5.0 and want reflasear a later version with root and Knox = 0:
I am struck not downgrade directly to 4.4.2 before June in which to put the root directly without changing the kernel. Do these versions are not available? Or there is any impediment that I don't know.

ROM:
>> G900FXXU1BNL9_DevBase_alexndr.zip <<
Bootloader & modem (update is highly recommended!):
>> BL_G900FXXU1BNL9.tar.md5 <<
>> CP_G900FXXU1BNL9.tar.md5 <<
No wipe data needed if you are on Lollipop already
Enjoy

Hi'
Damage but too bad. Anyway, the ROM works like a charm
I tried to flash the BLN9 with Mobile Odin Pro v4.20
But MOP tells me:
"This is not an OTA/Update Zip file!
Zip files containing partitions are
not supported. Do you want to
extract the Zip file instead?"
MD5 checksum is correct.

The Problem was SuperSU. May not be installed before flashing with MOP
go back to 4.42
_alexndr said:
IMPORTANT NOTE to KNOX 0x0 users (on Lollipop already):
DO NOT install the ROM using Mobile Odin Pro 4.20 - it doesn't work after updating to Lollipop anymore! More info HERE. At this moment, to keep KNOX 0x0, you have to downgrade to 4.4.2 first (wipe data needed), then root the phone (HERE), and then install BNL9 DevBase (wipe data needed again) using Mobile Odin Pro 4.20
Hopefully @Chainfire will update the MOP soon...

I have the BNL9 install and with knox 0x0
So if I need to install again your rom or your next one , I have to flash the G900FXXU1ANE2 first, with KERNEL_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5 and CP_G900FXXU1ANE2.tar.md5 and direct make the root before to install odin and the new room ? like this I wouldn't tuch knox..
Sorry for my question it's new for me, i used to flash by CWM my old Galaxy s2..
Thanks
No NJ1 or better NK7 then downgrade the kernel to NE2 and root, superSU, install MOP and flash BLN9 devbase. Already said at another place, on a french forum
