Hello everyone.
Is there a one true guide to installing a ROM on my Note 3? I'm running a T-Mobile N-900T. It seems that after browsing the web, I've seen so many different ways to install a ROM that I'm extremely hesitant to try one on the off-chance that it is no longer supported and may brick my device. This is a non-warrantied phone (bought it on Swappa) so I only get once chance if I end up Hard Bricking it, so my fear level is at the absolute highest.
I wanted to run Eclipse Note 3 TW Rom (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620723) because it's a nice simple ROM that retains S-Pen function and removes all the bloat and stuff. However, I noticed that it says "This is based off of 4.4.2 NC2 for Verizon Wireless." Does this mean it won't work with a T-Mobile Note 3?
This is as far as I got in towards the process before I stopped due to something unexpected:
1) TowelRoot. Rooted it and confirmed with the Root app that it was indeed rooted.
2) Downloaded SuperSU. I installed the binary using the Normal mode since I didn't have CWM or TWRM at the time. It asked me to disable KNOX and it looks like it was fine. I restarted it.
This is where I stopped. After I installed it, it asked me to confirm if I want to confirm allowing Freedom and SetCPU. I did and it continuously started spamming the notification that it was allowed for 20 minutes.
I went into the SuperSU program to see what's wrong and it then told me that the Binary could NOT be found and that I may have to flash my rom back to get it back to normal. It then gave me the error that something was wrong on my phone and that I might have to install something called Samsung Kies to make it better.
I pretty much freaked out at this point and de-installed SuperSU out of fear that I might screw up my phone. Now I'm extremely fearful to do anything without seeing some sort of de facto guide on what to do next.
If it helps, here's the phone information I have. I know that different ROM flashing methods are used for various kernels.
Model: SM-N900T
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: N900TUVUCNB4
Kernel: 3.4.0-660648 | [email protected] #1 | Wed Feb 12 21:31:27 KST 2014
Build Number: KOT49H.N900TUVUCNB4
SE for Android Status: Enforcing | SEPF_SM-900T_4.4.2_0005 | WED FEB 12 21:31:01 2014
Security Software Version: MDF v1.0 Release 2
I have a 128GB Samsung SDXS MicroSD. The phone recognizes 119 GB of it which I know is normal.
Any help or direction would be most appreciated. The world of Flashing has so many roads that my head is spinning and my fear is that I will turn this phone into a $500 brick because I followed the wrong guide.
Thank you.

Thanks.
I do understand that and I have the program, but I can't find any SOLID documentation. I see all these different guides out there and I'm scared that I'm going to pick the wrong one. The ages vary as well, so I don't know if they are still relevant or not.
Not only that, I don't believe that just Odin is enough. There are also prerequisites that are required before I can just up and use Odin. That'st he part that I would hope a decent guide out there would provide me.
A bit early by a few minutes but, Bump for help.
Any information or leads would be terrific.
Thank you.

I'm pretty new to the Android phones. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet about a year ago, and I absolutely love it -- which was the only reason why I considered an Android phone when it came time to upgrade. That might have been a mistake.
The phone I chose was a Galaxy S5 from AT&T.
For many reasons I won't go into (and that many of you probably know) Kitkat is awful. Removing SD card access removed one of the most important reasons that I bought the phone. So, I decided to root the thing.
I read a bunch of info on how to root, and, eventually downloaded and tried to use towelroot only to discover that AT&T/Google have blocked all functionality of that program. My build is, unfortunately, the latest build -- July 22 2014 (or there abouts).
Now, I'm not sure if the phone was given to me with that update -- I only got the thing on Sunday. Maybe it was, maybe not. Dunno. So I have a couple of questions.
If I were to factory reset the phone, would that roll back these "Security" OTA updates that were pushed onto the phone? I'm pretty sure there was at least one after I got the thing. I've spent a fair amount of time setting the phone up, but I'll do it again if a factory reset would allow me to root the phone and return the SD card functions.
Is there a way to push an earlier version of the ROM onto the phone. I'm guessing not, since I think I read that AT&T helpfully locked the bootloader.
Finally, does anyone know of any way to root this device if neither of the two paths I presented above will work?
Thanks for any help. If I can't restore the SD card functionality, I'll probably just return the phone. That would be a bummer because I was really excited about it.

I see that there are tutes here, and am wading through the 50+ pages of forum posts to find what I need. However, my worry is that none of this stuff will work because of the new firmware. Here is all the info that I have on my phone:
Galaxy S5 AT&T US version (SAMSUNG-SM-900A)
Android 4.4.2
kernel version 3.4.0-2178781 [email protected] #1 Tuesday July 22
Build # KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3
SE for Android Status
Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_4.4.2_0018 Tuesday July 22
Security Software version:
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 1
Thanks all the pertinent info, I think.
Because the update was so new, I don't think there's a way to root this anymore. People keep telling me to use ODIN and to download an earlier ROM (and I now have ODIN and an earlier ROM -- hopefully from a good source, but I have no idea if it is), but my impression is that this latest AT&T "security" update keeps you from reflashing the ROM because of the bootloader lockout.
Any further help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
As I told you, the only method working for me (because of towelroot non working) is cf auto root.
Check periodicaly here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to see if your model is listed.
I had just a look and it's not listed yet.
If it is, flash by odin and look if root works.
If not, you've got to flash by odin the same rom again (keep your original file on pc), you'll loose nothing, and report this fails on chainfire to test other solution.
Good luck

Not only build number and kernel version, you need to check your Bootloader version with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (in the FIRMWARE INFO section).
Bootloader version is one of the important info to check when you are going to root or flashing custom rom.

Hey that looks like a great utility. Thanks! The bootloader is G900AUCU2ANG3
Does that help any? People keep telling me I need to use ODIN and flash this, that or the other thing. Those comments would probably be more helpful if I knew more about this stuff, but my reading has lead me to believe that ODIN won't work with certain version of the bootloader. Or is that wrong?

Yes, this has probably been gone over ad nauseum throughout the site. Due to time constraints I cannot dig through the forums as much as I'd like, so I'm simply going to ask.
Phone: Samsung Note III (SM-N900V)
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
OS Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: N900VVRUCNC4
Kernal Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4
Hardware Version: N900V.07
It was purchased November 2013 with OS 4.3. Over the summer I accepted the OTA update to 4.4.2. My phone went to hell. Battery gets chewed through like a woodchipper, phone is horribly laggy, antenna connection is always 1-2 bars under where it was prior to update (and doesn't get reception in areas it did before), changes to the UI are less than desirable, etc.
The phone was never rooted, as this was the first phone I've ever had that worked well enough on stock software that I skipped it.
After giving it a few months on the update and trying changes/tweaks within the updated stock software to fix the issues the update caused, I'm at the end of my patience. Contacting support at both Verizon and Samsung was pointless, with one blaming the other for the problems.
What I'd love is to take the OS back to 4.3 and leave it, but in lieu of that I want to root the hell out of it and put a build on without these issues and a better antenna software. I'd prefer not to void the KNOX, but at this point I'd microwave it if it'd help.
I have no backups or root access from before the update to base a root on. I tried towelroot; install button doesn't work and I understand the maker Geohot works for Google now. I started to play with Odin, however the install seems to have an oddly high amount of other software it wants to install, and even after declining those it doesn't want to install (tried 3.09 and 3.10, I'm using Windows 7 w/latest SP and updates). Also, it drives my AV software crazy, so even turning that off and working with it didn't get me very far.
So, at this point, I'm open to most anything to get this crap off my phone, and my only requirement is that I don't brick it.
Options?
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the best breakdown of what you need to do. Click here, scroll till you see the blue outline for NC4 OTA.
Be sure to hit "thanks" on @az_biker link for this tutorial!
Unfortunately this won't work, I've already tried. When running the towelroot installer the Install button is not clickable. The other buttons function normally.

No to both, unfortunately.
I've had no issues with towelroot. But for giggles make sure you have install from unknown source checked, and then unlock your developer options and make sure USB debug is enabled, then give it another shot.

It's been a while since I last did this, and I'm afraid I'm quite confused...
I am running a custom ROM (Bliss Beta 6) but remembered that updating my ROM doesn't update my baseband/modem.
Are baseband and modem the same thing?
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10398
Using this site here I see that my current baseband (G900TUVU1CNK2) is super outdated. It tells me that G900T3UVU1FOG6 or G900TUVS1FOL1 are the latest, but I don't get why there are two. Which one should I install?
All that being said, can I install using TWRP and a zip, or do I need to ODIN it?
Any help would be appreciated, as I said I've done this before but can't find any updated tutorials that explain the questions I'm asking (I've tried searching google and XDA, if I missed something obvious I would appreciate a link!).
cheers
More research has helped me answer my own question! Sharing what I've found in case anyone else comes across this thread:
Baseband and Modem are effectively the same thing in this context.
G900T3UVU1FOG6 was released in August 2015 and has the fix for stage-fright.
G900TUVS1FOJ4 was released in November 2015
G900TUVS1FOL1 is pretty much brand new (released in December 2015) so there's not a lot on it. This is the one I'm going to try installing.
Followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400 to figure it out.

i've been wondering this myself, so did you update your baseband & is there any change in battery or signal quality? (or i guess stagefright detector?)
also wondering if downgrading is no problem or if it affects anything like that (which stock samsung or other device kernels/ROMs do, sometimes blocking root etc)
Hey, so I actually updated to G900TUVS1FOL1 using ODIN. It nuked everything and installed regular TouchWiz which I wasn't a fan of, but I have no problem installing my own ROM later.
If you're doing the T-Mobile one, then there is no issue with rooting, installing kernels, custom ROMs, etc. I don't really know about "downgrading" the baseband or modem, but I don't think you would need to in this case.
Note that if you have Verizon or At&T you probably want to be SUPER careful, because they lock down everything.

yes, I installed G900TUVS1FOL1 with Odin, had root and TWRP installed just fine (couldn't get xposed to work because it was not a deoxdex rom of course). I just installed BlissPop ROM last night which is based on CM13. So yes, it didn't lock me down or anything.

My phone is the Samsung SM-G930V with the baseband version G930VVRU4BQA4 and build number NRD90M.G930VVRU4BQA4 if that helps anyone.
Anything anyone can do to point me in the right direction or any tips you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking something similar to this or this but for 7.0, not 6.0.1.
I'm not clever enough to really know what can and can't be removed safely. I usually just spend weeks removing stuff to try and strip down to an absolutely minimum stock phone and end up just breaking the operating system and having to start over.
However, in the two links hyperlinked above, two guys both immensely smarter than me were able to strip the phones of all the bloatware and then some while remaining on stock roms and having a very functional phone.
I was hoping to find something like that.
For now I'm just downgrading to a rom that came out before Sep 15, 2016 and then following the steps in this thread to get a functional rooted phone that is tweaked to run okay, then I'm using the steps in this thread to strip the phone down to almost nothing but still keeping it functional.
I would rather have total control of the applications and software on my phone and use a dated operating (6.0.1) system versus using the most up to date operating system (7.0) and not having as much control or understanding of what's on my phone.
I would love to upgrade to 7.0 though if anyone knows an extensive and reliable way to extremely debloat the Verizon Samsung S7 SM-G930V with a locked bootloader?
I've lurked and googled every variation of any combination of words to try and find the right place to learn how to do this but fell back on the two threads I hyperlinked above, twice. I can't find anything that works for me for 7.0
If anyone wants to emulate what I did to get a similar result, I used the firmware version G930UUEU4API3 for the device Samsung Galaxy S7, model SM-G930U for my SM-G930V (apparently the G930U version doesn't come with Verizon bloat? just standard bloat?) because that version was released 9/09/16 and the thread for the extreme debloat was last updated 9/15/16, probably to account for that release. After that nothing has been updated.

Hi, first I promise I'm not crazy, I just don't like some changes 10 has made regarding the operations of some of my favorite, have-to-have apps as well as how some apps interact with other apps. Second, I do apologize if this is posted elsewhere. I tried searching in several areas for this tab and couldn't find anything about downgrading.
So, here are some specs I think are usually asked for :fingers-crossed::
Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e (2019) - SM-T720NZDLXAR (USA version) (Not rooted because I'm too scared I'll kill the darned thing beyond resurrection.)

Please LMK if anything else is needed.
The upgrade was done a few days ago. I searched the net for stock firmware but couldn't identify for sure if any I found would work with my specific model. I readily admit to not having the knowledge to start experimenting first and begging for help after I've blown it up, or bricked it . I'll just skip to the begging. And I'm usually pretty good at following directions when they're in basic layman's terms.
TIA for any assistance and/or guidance offered and please accept my attempts at humor in the nature they're intended. :silly:
Hello, I'm thinking about downgrading my s5e to use Linux on Dex as my tablet came with Android 10 which doesn't work with it.
If you're still in need of these instructions, I can record my steps for you when I attempt the downgrade.

Hello, I'm thinking about downgrading my s5e to use Linux on Dex as my tablet came with Android 10 which doesn't work with it.

So is this possible? Also, are you saying tablets that originally shipped with Android 9 are now shipping with android 10 instead??? Wtf I don't want android 10!
I don't mind unlocking my bootloader as soon as I get my tablet, but I really need android 9 and not 10. Would you mind telling me how to downgrade?

Did you ever do the downgrade? You mind sharing the details of how you did it for a noob?
