I just got my Note 3 and the first thing I did was root it. The problem is that I forgot to perform a software update. Now when I try to update the software, I get the message that I can't update because my phone is modified. Is there a way to download and manually install the latest software update?
This should be in Q&A....mods will either delete it or move it for you.
To answer you...depending on your region the stock firmware may or may not be available for you to odin back to stock.

use triangle away to restore official status. Then update and reroot (from what i heared, ony the international N3 had a firmware update) Usually, if there was one for you, as soon as you would have connected to the internet it would have told you, unless you rooted without first connecting the phone to the internet

You can use kies to restore your phone back to stock. It will change your phone back to original status, without root. However there's nothing you can do on your knox warranty.

Thanks, guys. The phone is great the way it is, and I refuse to give up root if I can help it. I have faith in the devs here to overcome all issues!!
Dear All
Hey how are you guys? Almost a month user of this amazing android device note 3 LTE version in UAE.
Now I have updated this device via OTA, not thru Kies and now I am on kitkat 4.4.2
Not rooted and everything is on stock, don't want to trip on Knox
I got 1 minor glicth I am experiencing each and every time I boot and reboot my note 3 LTE version
it tells me that;
"Error Initializing USB"
What does this mean? I tried to transfer data back and forth to my PCs Laptops but USB functionality seems ok,
I am just afraid maybe this is hardware problem?
Can someone please Enlighten me on this minor issue?
Rgards,
Jes
Uhm anyone can help a brother out?
It is not really a big problem but until this time of writing, message still appears
"error intializing USB"
freaks me out knowing my phone is all stock ROM with paid apps...

I have had all my times before in modding and flashing roms from galaxy s1 until my nexus 4 but I don't have the time and courage anymore...

My Knox bit has been set for over six months. I have no fear of using Odin.
I have reflashed with Odin 3.09
It didn't fix the problem.
Having said this, other than the error message I haven't had any issues relating to connection to pc via usb including usb 3 mode
Or connection via usb otg to usb dac.

Well how are you guys doing? Couple of weeks back I installed some Samsung OTA updates and so far that error prompt in every restart and start up made by the Note 3 is gone now!!
Furthermore, we are now able to root even with the latest stock firmware thru towelroot by none other than the greatest mr. geohot!

Root and defeat Samsung KNOX!!!
Hello XDA.
I have a:
Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (IT'S EITHER A BELL/ROGERS PHONE)
BASEBAND VERSION: I1337MVLUAMDJ
KERNAL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758 [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER: K0T49H.1337MVLUFNE1
The problem is, I had rooted my phone long time ago and wanted to recently unroot and update to the latest KitKat version (I was on jellybean). It would not let be update because it said the device was modified or something of that sort. I tried to unroot by following a tutorial online and flashing with a stock rom.
I did exactly as it says but now my phone is totally messed up. My Wifi no longer works, the apps keep crashing and nothing is working like its suppose too. I do not know what to do to fix this. How do I return my phone back to factory settings as if it is brand new? I have tried flashing stock roms 3 times new (3 different ones using ODIN) and nothing seems to work. I have tried samsung kies and it is still doing the same thing!
Please help.

You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip. Use 7-zip to extract a .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin

The websites downloads are very slow. I am currently downloading it and will attempt to flash it. The problem is, I believe I have already tried this and might have somehow messed something else up such as the kernel or something.
Do you know if this could be the case?

No, it would not be the case. Odin flashes the entire firmware, kernel and all. Sammobile is an official site for the firmware so if it doesn't work you might have a hardware issue. But wait for the download.

I'll definitely try flashing this one. Any specific instructions with ODIN for this? (I might be doing something wrong). Also, I do not believe its a hardware issue as it was fine before I attempted to unroot it today and make it factory default stock rom

I have flashed the official one from that website and same problem. My WIFI does not work and there are random glitches like the phone being slow and etc. I don't understand what I could have done to cause this and what could possibly be done to fix it.
I think the modem may be an issue. Can someone please confirm?

So when you try to slide to turn on Wi-Fi it just pops back to off? The other guy had an i337 which is different than yours. What worked for his isn't going to work for you
What firmware version did you flash in Odin?

When I try to slide the WIFI tab, it slides back to off by itself. My phone is i337M and mine and his have a similar issue but different phone type. I flashed 4.4.2 with Odin.
I honestly believe that it's a problem with the kernel/modem. Do you know of a way to change EVERYTHING back to factory settings?
Odin flashes everything back to stock, like new. Try the mk6 version of the firmware.
Edit, what version of Odin ate you using?

Not sure what else to tell you. If Odin isn't working you may have a hardware issue. Odin should return engaguing to like new. The only thing I can think of is you have an issue with the emmc memory, which isn't good.

Have you tried using your own wifi (to make sure the problem comes from your phone and not from the 4G network) ? If the download works with your wifi but not with 4G, you can assume that your 4G provider is blocking p2p ports. Otherwise the problem probably comes from the configuration of your app.
Yes I have tried using my wifi and the same problem comes up I was able to download with wifi and without before rooting. It started right after I rooted the phone. I have tried different apps to download torrents with no success.

Use a system app uninstaller from the playstore (a red recyclebin logo app) and remove all knox related crap
if you dont want your knox warranty to trip.
If it has already tripped.. i.e. if you are running a custom recovery like cwm or philz
Then...let me see what xda has for you..
try this if you are running a custom recovery to deknox but read the thread first.

How did you root? Because if you have the sprint version, then you don't have an i9505 but an SPH-L720.
Yeah that it like I said I'm new at this and still learning but I don't remember what I used to root it..... sph-l720 is what I got.... been searching all over the place see if anyone has had this problem and haven't been able to find anything

you have an account with verizon right?
No i dont have a verizon account i bought the phone from third hand...
But with the OB6 manage to use the method of the 2 tar files to flash and succesfully came with everything, the problem is the next one, on the boot first screen says CUSTOM with the unlock lock draw or symbol, but i cant find the superuser app anywhere....
No when I reboot the phone, takes to long and says system something then I say ok and shutsdown, the only way to enter to android is recovery and delete cache...
Any way to fix this, and altought it says iu was installing the app, i cant find it, should I install the SUPERUSER app?
