Hey guys, I have recently inherited a note 3 (SM9005) it is however running the xnote ROM (version 13). I however want to shift back to the stock ROM (but still remain rooted).
I need a fool proof guide to do that, as I don't what to mess up the phone.
Thanks in advance and let me know if any further info is required.
Bump? If not that, I'd just like some instructions to update xnote to its latest build. And yes I've checked the xnote thread, but im still unsure on how to proceed as I don't want to mess up my phone.

Hello there,
I have my S4 for 6 months now but I still did not get the 4.4 Update! Argh! To that I say it`s Rootn` an` Flashin` Time!
Quick questions though...
1) Regarding KNOX: I read about it and that it cannot be reverted, fine, but other than voiding the Warranty and nob being able to run KNOX software, all is fine, right? No other weird things can happen like WiFi not working or motherboards self-bricking... no?
2) Is there any Tutorial for Flashing a Recovery for the S5? I am experienced with the S Plus, but I don`t now what Recovery / Kernel should I use for the S4. There gots` to be a Thread, but I cannot find it...
3) Any good recommendations for a ROM? I would like a "stock-ish" S5 experience, but I don`t seem to see an influx of ROMs with this theme. To early maybe?
Thank you!
i love the Phoenix Rom there will be the 4.4 Version soon

1) You should be fine. You won't brick anything. Just don't go around flashing random bootloaders and modems.
2) Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468187 (ONLY if you have a i9505 S4)
3) I don't know, I prefer stock Android.
Hi, I may not be posting this in the right place, but here goes. I have a lg g2 and the phone works great, but the top left corner of the screen is unresponsive. The phone is in great condition, but I'm thinking it's a software problem? I read some forms people have rooted and flashed roms on their lgg2, whom had the same problem as me, and poof! Dead space in screen gone. Is is true? Should I root my phone and try flashing some Rom? How do I root and what Rom would you guys recommend? I'm new, so any help would be super appreciated! Thanks in advance!
P.s.: I have the AT&T version lg g2 on 4.4.2 if this helps.
Rooting does clear up the touch screen problem in some cases.
Ok so if you want to root your G2, here are the steps.
1. Go to settings and make your phone accept unknown apps.
2. Download Towelroot and install it on your phone.
3. Download Autorec and install it.
4. Now install a kernel you want.
5. Download a rom that matches with your kernel. It can be a AOSP rom, or a G3 rom. Run both and see what you like.
6. Always look and read each of the rom posts carefully and download GApps.
When downloading a rom, you should do a factory reset ALWAYS so information doesn't get mixed up.
I know this is a short list and im missing other items but there are tons of posts on how to do these steps in much more detail. And if you need help, ask away. :highfive:

I don't think your problem will be solved with rooting the phone as far as I can tell it is a problem with your phone's digitizer like it was mine check this http://youtu.be/XYxNPFwD6gY you can try flashing an other Rom and if it doesn't work take it to service if you still have warranty or else you can do it by yourself there are some videos in YouTube to guide you.
Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.
Hello all,
My first post and my first galaxy s5! I just got my s5 (unlocked, used) and am already tired of all the verizon stuff that I can't or don't want to use. I looked into rooting it and it seems like I will be able to. But now I started looking into adding a new rom and am very confused. (So confused I don't know where to start) In the forums here I have read some cool stuff but also they use a lot of abbreviations for programs and such that I am not familiar with. Anyway, I have read references to "Slots", what are those and how do I make them? It seems like it would be useful and maybe help me not brick my phone.
How can I tell which roms I can flash (correct term?) to my phone? If I have an older build, can I add a newer build and do I want to? (I've read that the latest builds make the phone non rootable)
I know, a lot of questions. Please point me in the right direction.
Below is my phone info:
Samsung SM-G900V
Android 5.0
Baseband version G900VVRU1B0C4
Kernal 3.4.0
Build # LRX21T.G900VVRU1B0C4
Hardware version G900V.05
Anything else?
All your help is greatly appreciated.
Don't update the phone! As long as you are below oe1 (you are) you can still downgrade and root. Then install safestrap (where the slots come in) but most people use the stock slot. You can flash roms on that slot. Check the catchall thread for specifics.
Ok,
I will try to root it. then get back to you guys.
Thanks
Ok,
So after an interesting and sometimes frustrating night of downloading and flashing, my phone is rooted and now is android 4.4.2 with a build of KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG. I guess the next step is finding and installing safestrap? (Final goal would be to flash a non verizon rom with no bloatware and all the desired functions of my phone available.)
Thanks.
There's a safestrap thread in android development section. There was a revised build that was uploaded that you should use
Thank you, I will look it up.
I have since uploaded rooted 5.0 using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784 .
Now, safestrap and custom rom. Thanks all!
Hi all,
I am now on 15-4 and moving to 15-5. I was wondering, is there a "visual voicemail" type app that would work for a non verizon account?

You can find all the info you need in this post.
Don't know what your firmware is but the oldest base you can go is NB1 (4.4.2).
Root the phone with towel root.
Install either flash fire or safestrap and flash the desire lollipop rom.
Hello! I don't want to start a new thread just yet, but I'm also stuck in a bootloop after a mishap during a manual update. Is it possible to recover any of the internal files when recovering the phone, or is it impossible? Honestly, I just want the files off of my phone more than anything else. There are a lot of memories there that I would love to save...I know, I know, I should have backed up those files, but that chance is gone now. :crying:
