A Confuse I9500 user

Hi guys, I'm a kinda of novice on android after coming from blackberry, I rooted my I9500 using chainfire auto root and everything worked flawlessly well. I never use triangle away since its not available for the device. Now some new updates are rolling in from Sammy and really love touchwiz so I didn't bother myself with custom roms. I would love to have those updates cos I heard they make the phone really fast and eliminate lagging. When I checked for updates I still get I have the latest firmware. My device status shows official. I didn't do anything to change Dat. If you guys have any idea how to get OTA Plz ur ideas are welcome plus a step by step method of running stock rom via odin is appreciated. Here is a snapshot of my device. Pls guys don't be offended if someone has already post a similar complaint.

[Q] Rooting a Note 3 with failure

Hi, im trying to root my note 3 (SM-N9005) but im having troubles.
ive got the right Chainfire files and im following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
But my phone doesnt seem to finish or start for that matter the rooting process, i just get stuck at the part when the phone should just boot into recovery mode and the screen just has the note 3 logo and up in the left corner it sais:
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
nothing else.
im posting here cause i dont have permission to post into the other thread.
anyone have ideas ? :cyclops:

Are you sure you have the right files ? For the n9005 ? (If that is your phone)

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
this? yes i tried it but it still does not boot into recovery, doesnt even boot loop just gets stuck in the screen i mentioned earlier

Now if i boot into download mode this is my screen
http ://i.imgur. com/SPO8jHF.jpg

Write protection: Enable ... is that something that can be a reason for this? :silly:

And what does Odin say ? If it says pass, you should do the "pull out battery and manually boot into recovery" and it should work. I still think you have the wrong file, maybe for 4.4.2 ? Maybe a bad download, try again.

Lol, 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?
You could, but you'll need a custom recovery. But more I won't tell you. Spoon feeding is bad. :banghead:
And the fact, that you didn't see the link for the 4.3 file, wich was posted in the same sentence as the 4.4 link, I think you should really do some reading.
Every rom has its installation instructions written in the thread.
Sent from my N9005

Yes sorry about that. I just need guidance I can't find a recovery via Cwm for instance and the x note thread doesn't seem to have an install guide , I just want a kit kat based rom for my note and the last time I flashed a recovery+rom it was a galaxy gio and that was done via sd card and 2 zip files hehe
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

See, that's why I hate this. How can you say it doesn't have a guide on how to install it, if it clearly does. My first custom rom, coming from 4.3 to 4.4 was xnote. And guess what, i flashed it with the help of the instructions posted on the site, and a bit of Google search too. Why do i even bother, I'm over and out. Maybe someone else will spoon feed you.

[GUIDE] How to downgrade NOTE 10.1 (N8000) from Android 4.4.2 KK to stock 4.1.2 JB

Thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4707707 (ERIC-MOD) for guiding me, today I would like to share my experience on how to downgrade the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10.1 (GT-N8000) from the Samsung official firmware update Android 4.4.2 BACK TO Android 4.1.2
Requirements
-1. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 (for models like N8010 or N8013 may work also) *NOT A BRICKED ONES
-2. Root access required (For those doesn't know how to root, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv8440QhHsw this guide will help you)
-3. [root] Mobile ODIN Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
-4. Note 10.1 GT-N8000 ANDROID 4.1.2 Jellybean Firmware http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=gt-n8000 (If you're having N8010: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=gt-n8010 If you're having N8013: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8013 ) Make sure to find your own country's firmware (Update: Here's a new link for firmwares: https://samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-N8000/ )
Optional
-Notebook or PC running Windows
-Samsung USB Cable (Use genuine if possible)
It is very good to hear that Samsung had published a new firmware update for Note 10.1, that is the newest Android version (KitKat 4.4.2 update), but it is also very annoying that all the functions we usually used are gone (Example: Screenshot button, S Pen Shortcut Toolbar, Multi Window and so on). It also became very laggy (don't know whether you experience such problem) and can't even multitask anymore. Some of you might not experience that because it depends on how you uses the tablet, but some of you may be regretting why did u update your device......you might be searching for a guide to downgrade it..... And you found this post!
I'm not responsible if you bricked your device or making your device even worse using this tutorial! If you don't think that you are experiencing any problem or actually you liked Android KITKAT more than JELLYBEAN, you have the rights not to downgrade it, I am not forcing you to downgrade your device, its your own choice. Also, YOU ARE TAKING YOUR OWN RISK TO DO THIS BECAUSE YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID!
Let's Get Started
Preparation
1. Make sure your device is ROOTED.
2. Backup all your important data and all your apps, you may use Helium Backup for Android
3. Make sure you have [root] Mobile ODIN Pro installed on your device.
4. Make sure you downloaded the Android 4.1.2 firmware into your device's SD card or internal storage.
*Optional- or download it using PC and transfer to your device.
Main Instruction
1. Launch [root] Mobile ODIN Pro.
2. Grand access with superuser.
3. Mobile Odin Pro requires an add on, so DOWNLOAD IT.
4. Select "Open File... (Open file to archive .tar, .tar.md5, and separate files supported)"
5. Locate to where you downloaded your 4.1.2 firmware.
6. Everything will be automatically done, now just TICK the Wipe date and cache, TICK the Wipe Dalvik cache (as shown in the picture below)
7. Click Flash firmware (please keep in mind your device will factory reset it)
8. Wait for some time and it should be revert back to your BELOVED ANDROID 4.1.2 JELLYBEAN SYSTEM!
It's simple, but only the time matters. So this is how I Downgrade it (Again SUPER THANKS TO http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4707707 MR. ERIC-MOD, without his help, I wouldn't have my device getting downgraded).
This thread shows how he helped me out http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...how-to-downgrade-note10-1-n8000-to-4-t2807106
Hope you guys enjoy this~ If you have any question, or you find that I am wrong, reply me to let me know so that i can update the details~
If I've helped you, please give me a "Thanks" by pressing 'thanks button', or also say thanks to Eric-Mod
Q: Can I use Odin PC version?
A: Sorry, you can't. It might end up soft breaking your device.
Q: Can I downgrade my device to android 4.1.2 with a custom android 4.4.2 rom?
A: It's better not to downgrade using this method as it is used for downgrading from Samsung Official android 4.4.2 firmware to android 4.1.2 firmware, not a custom android 4.4.2 firmware.But...you can still try it if you want to take the risk. (AUG, 3rd, 2014, Tested by a junior member 'johnattas' from XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5092748 , was told that downgrading from a custom rom using this method was a success. More info on page 3, you can find it yourself)
*PS* 1. received a complaint that after downgrading, should not allow Samsung to update itself or else may cause brick.
2. received a complaint that after downgrading, cannot charge the device when it is turned off. Still can charge when turned on.
3. received a private message from andrewjcox telling that the above method had successfully downgraded his Note 10.1 N8020 model. Not sure how he did it on "N8020" device, message him for more info if you need help.
Note: I will keep updating this thread for more detailed tutorial. (Discontinued)
Note! 10th of June, 2016 I will no longer provide supports to this tutorial., Chances of worsening your device are low I would say, you can still use the tutorial but it is your own RISK to do that.

You want to update to the samsung official update kitkat? I recommend you don't update, it's laggy, some of key features has gone, and this is why i posted this thread for downgrading back to 4.1.2 jellybean.
Root also lets you to have more options to modify your tablet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv8440QhHsw This is a very simple way to root it.
Please tell me if I had misunderstood what you have said and by the way it is not really possible to revert bootloader as i can't find any tutorial for this until now.

OH PLEASE DON'T! It MIGHT ending up soft breaking your device. Thats why I mentioned [root] mobile odin pro for downgrading.

battery wont charge when note is turned off
I downgraded my n8000 to jb 4.1.2 exactly as you described
Every thing is ok but when note is off and connected to charger
Only battery icon stuck and not charging only charge when note is on

I did not know there was a problem with downgrading from 4.4.2, so I casually flashed a custom 4.0.4 ROM and then a custom 4.1.2 ROM. So far, there has been nothing wrong with my N8000, but seeing this worried me a bit. Am I supposed to do anything else?

Same here. I was on official 4.1.2 with root and custom recovery and did a nandroid backup before I upgraded to official 4.4.2 the other day.
The custom recovery got replaced with stock recovery after the upgrade so I reflashed it (the custom recovery) in Odin 3.09. I then booted into custom recovery and restored the nandroid for my 4.1.2 backup.
Everything is working just fine, no charging issues with the screen on or off.

same device info but not rooted
Hi. I also like to downgrade my n8000 and I've checked your other post, we have the same information about our device but mine is not yet rooted. Honestly I don't know what is rooted or not. I just download a root checker in the playstore coz i've read it in your other post and it says my device is not yet rooted. (Also, i'm not a techie person hehehe so I don't know some other complicated terms ) Can i downgrade without rooting it? Hope I can get back to the jelly bean firmware coz the kitkat really sucks. Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

Nah mate you have to be rooted.

You can downgrade without rooting. There is one possibility to downgrade without rooting your note 10.1. The method involves downloading stock 4.1.2 rom from sammobile and then removing bootloader files from it then u can flash that modified file with pc odin easily.

I think this problem is related to new 4.4.2 bootloader. Mine also got the situation.

[Q] As a first timer on samsung what do i need to do ?

Hey guys i just bought this international exynos note 3 (N900) and i have some questions about it ;
1. I want to install all the roms kernels and mods i could find but in order to do that (I'm %100 stock btw) ,do i need to first unlock the device ( i dont know how i couldnt find it), then root it with CF- Auto root( my warranty is over so i dont need to think about KNOX i think??) Then use the dd method to flash a recovery and flash whatever i want. Am i right about the things i said on all above ? Is there an easier way to do it ?
2. Do KNOX ever prevents me from flashing things in ODIN if something gets triggered ?
3. If i am not right about the first question starting from %100 stock what do i need to do to get this baby rockin ? I'm thinking about flashing a stock lollipop rom with a custom kernel and root ofc. Any suggestions ?
4. Do we need to flash modems from odin ? Because when reading the AryaMods thread i saw something about updating the modem. I'm on 4.4.2 right now. Can we flash modems or even kernels from recovery ?
Thanks already!!

There is no much of roms to choose for this one. 9005 is most supported here.
Root using cf auto root.
Make back up of ta partion/imei.
Flash recovery with odin. Then flash roms in twrp (watch the ere about how to use twrp or YT).
flash stock roms using odin.

Can't i just flash recovery from odin then flash a custom rom after that without rooting ? Thanks!

If you are going to flash roms based on lollipop, update your phone to latest stock rom for your model using odin so you get latest bootloader.
Dude, you need root access to access system and write to it. Don't custom roms require root, if you take a look? (don't answer to this [emoji61] )
If you want that way, flash twrp with ? odin. Then flash supersu for your model using twrp. That way too you get root. Then flash roms after (read rom instructions).
Ask if all wondering. ?

No my question was; not rooting the device in the first place before flashing the recovery and the rom. The roms already comes with the root in it. So just to be clear first upgrade the base to lollipop from odin then flash a recovery and lastly flash a lollipop rom. Would this be your sequence when you just bought a new note 3 ?

Flash latest firmware then custom recovery then flash the custom rom of your choice. No need to root after flash official firmware but it's good to root first as you may want to backup efs before you start messing the phone. I backed up the efs for the past 1.5years but so far never need it.

Thanks you very much mate!
Edit: I couldn't find the 5.0 version for my device the latest one is 4.4.2 for SM-N900Q. But there are 5.0 versions for SM-N900 for india and such. Can i flash one of them ? Does it interfere with anything so like just for a base ?
