I'm not quite sure what is the region for O2.
Is it N9005 ? which region ?
you could actually find any stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
after that you can flash through ODIN.
you won't mess up your phone, BUT, you have to download the correct firmware for your device (e.g : if your device N9005, you have to use N9005 firmware. If yours is N900, then you have to use N900.)
and other than that, try to flash stock rom which is the same release with your current one or newer release.
If you don't understand on how to flash ODIN, pm me.

So when I first got my note I imediately used this guide to flash kitkat and completely ****ed it up, it just stuck on the Samsung n9005 screen.
This was a link to C4ETech's video called "Galaxy Note 3 - Samsung Official Kitkat 4.4.2 - How to Flash/Install" but I had to remove it.
I assumed it was something to do with the CSC code (mine being BTU) so I installed a BTU rom using this guide.
This was a link to TheSmokingAndroid's video called "HOW TO UNBRICK & UNROOT SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3" but I had to remove it.
Now I want to install a kitkat rom preferably a stock one but there isn't one for BTU. So I looked at the custom roms as some support BTU but require the device to be on 4.4 already. How can I get onto 4.4 if every 4.4 rom requires a 4.4 phone? Will I have to wait until an official BTU update comes out?
I've attached a screenshot of my About Phone page (which doesn't have BTU anywhere, I don't get it).
I probably have the complete wrong end of the stick so sorry for wasting everyone's time but if you have a minute to help I'd really appreciate it.

Try *#1234# might come up there. Anyways, go over to Sammobile and grab any of the latest 4.4.2 KitKat ROMs for your device (9005) as you said. And it should work fine.
Advice: Wipe your phone, not compulsory but advisable. Cheers!
I have a canadian variant note 3 900w8 and i want to flash 4.4.2 as well but i was hoping to flash the t-mobile version as i have heard of issues with the 9005 rom compatibility, just wondering if anyone has had experience yet, or if it has been done.

I've managed to get onto 4.4 now by flashing a polish ROM after reading that they support BTU, I don't know how to delete this thread so I'm just letting everyone know my issue is resolved

If you want the ability to flash back to 4.3 from 4.4, install custom recovery and roms and keep your Knox 0x0, head over here and do some reading ( if you haven't been there already ).
Want to go back from N900 with CM12.1
Hello guys,
Iv'e been using the CyanogenMod12.1 on my Note3 N900 a whole year already and I regret every day for installing the Cm12.1
It's rooted of course with the CWM revovery.
I need your help guys, I just want to go back to the stock rom of Note 3 with Lolipop and I am failing to install the rom all over.
I am trying to flash the stock frimware via odin and it fails every dam time + my device goes soft brick which means that I need to install again the CWM recovery+ cm12.1 rom every time I fail.
I tried to look for some rooted stock roms for my n900 and I found nothing. My model is crap and not popular at all (cause its crap of a model).
Why I want to go back?
well, back then I didnt like the TouchWizz so much, I thought that it is to slow and to heavy for my system. so I wanted a clean android but I didnt like it.
It didnt fell good, every time I use my device I fell like my Note 3 got lost in a crappy OS or Rom. CM12.1 is boring and feels like death when I am traveling through the settings, drawers etc... + CM12.1 on note 3 has plenty of bugs, the battery sometime wont charge and dies fast, device getting hot toooooo fast and it killed me!!
on "TouchWizz" it felt more "alive" and more "colorful" for me. Maybe you will understand me or not, but the point is that I dont like CM12
Any help fellas?
The point is you need to find the proper TW ROM for your phone. I mean what country's model is that? Try to search for the same country's ROM on sammobile.com, and it should work via Odin. I don't have the Exynos model, so can't really say.
And about your opinion on CM, I can't agree more

Thanks for your reply. I purchased the phone with a Taiwan rom. So I need to download and flash the Taiwanian stock frimware?
And thanks for that you agree with me on CM.
anyone? up
Umm, again, can't be sure about Exynos models and their firmwares, but on Snapdragon you can flash almost any firmware as long as you have an unlocked N9005, so I am just guessing that N900 is also same. But if you find matching ROM then its preferable to download and flash that, unless its hovering at some very older based firmware.
So ur model is N900? I found alot of custom TW roms on exynox thread.
You want TW, you can try Darklord.
My country, Vietnam, using N900 alot. And they build plenty of roms for Note 3, ultra fast and stable.
You can go to samsungviet.com if im not wrong to search. If you cant, i can give you link to download.
The problem you have with CM12.1 is kernel. Try to find good kernel for your device.
Im using temasek cm12.1, and my device is N900W8 because i live in Canada. All i need is using other kernel for this rom. Everything work like a charm except battery life. Not as good as TW base rom. I think because of kernel too, but acceptable. Using CM cause TW not support multi dpi, i used to use 320-340, original 480 is too big for me.
Hi all,
I've recently been gifted the note 3 n900 and rooted it. I also installed TWRP and CWM as well, and when i go to install a ROM, it does say successfully and then at reboot, it shows the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, after that it goes blank. I've to do a battery pull to get it back and then restore a backup. I've tried many ROMs and also did rooting again, still nothing.
I've been using the galaxy s4 i9500 for about 2 years now and that is rooted and i've been flashing roms on it all year long with no problem. I'm just not sure what's going with this.
I'm currently on 4.4.2 official stock as I can't do much. Lollipop has not yet come to my region i think.
Any help would be widely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Same Issue here but I am even not getting a samsung logo or a custom rom logo.

Hi
I had this problem for a couple of days, I found out that I flashed a incompatible rom via Odin. Can you can go into fast boot mode and tell me what it says at the top? Mine said " Couldn't do normal boot " which means the rom I flashed was not supported for my device. I went to the Samsung website to download a rom that was compatible with my device, I flashed it via Odin and it worked.
Thanks
I Just got my error fixed. U need to flash your bootloader via odin

I found that flashing the Stock Lollipop Rom worked, just as mentioned above by the above post. Yes, just by updating the bootloader i think it works. I've done it by getting the Russian stock rom from sammobile (even though i'm not in Russia), works like a charm. Really love the new feel to the note 3 n900. Just need to find a way to get permissive kernel now and ites perfect.
Hey all!
So, I've got a Note 3 SM-N9005 but I've got this issue. When I try to update my Kitkat to Lollipop it says "Your device have been modified, Software updates are not available". I did have it rooted around a year ago and when I click 'Status' at the device info screen, it says 'modified', so I guess that's the issue.
Either way, I'd like Lollipop since I've heard it can solve the bad wifi connection issue, but I have no clue on how to install the new firmware safe and sound on my Note 3.
Does someone have any tips for me on where to find the newest stock firmware and how to flash it on my device? Or how to remove the 'Modified' status so I can get the update over the air?
Thanks in advance!
P.s. My Knox isn't void, it still says 0x0
Google ?

Yeah I read a lot already, but most of it is dated back at least a few months. And I thought, since this is an expert forum.
Should I just backup everything (like put everything on my computer and use some software to backup game data + sms data etc.) and use Kies? Or should I use Odin and download stock firmware from Sammobile? I'm really not an expert and I don't want to **** it up and brick my phone.
Have a look in the developer section, there are several different custom ROM you can use, I currently have the Phronesis ROM on my Note3 it's a Lollipop Note5 ROM and it is working very good with all the Note5 features such as screen note on lock screen etc.
hi, backup all to your pc and download stock rom and flash with odin or custom rom, but if you want ota flash stock
Okay this is a very long story. I have had this old S4 in my drawer and decided to update and refresh it. I found on SamMobile that lollipop was available for it, so I downloaded that. After flashing that to my S4 the phone could not detect a sim card. I then suddenly realized I had flashed the wrong ROM. I live in Australia and I am connected to a carrier called Telstra, but instead of flashing that one I flashed a ROM meant for unlocked phones. So now I am in trouble and I need your guys help! Please help me out on this and if you need any questions to help me just ask!

No problem at all, you can download another rom, that related to your region and flash it in same way, or if you want to get the most from your device you can try a custom rom and I recommend the following for you if you want to get the best performance
- Echoerom
- Albe95 rom
-Omega Rom

No I have lost connection to my baseband and IMEI. Because I did not backup my EFS. Please help!
Did you try flashing a stock ROM for your carrier?
Try flashing the rom meant for your phone. Things might be fine.
If no..then go to the store they'll fix it for you in no time
