Note N900A - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I just bought N900A, but I am a bit confused.
What is what. I am in Europe. And my N900A have 4.3 version and it says there is no update.
In Europe I see usually 9000 & 9005 models.
Also, I see that N900A have different usb charger than I am used (some usb 3.0 charger)....Is this same on all Note 3?
What is the "exynos" version ?
Can anyone tell me how and which rom should I install for europe.
Give me as much as possible informations as you can guys
I am not a new in flashing or rooting, but I need a starting point

A starting point.

Ok. I understand. But is it possible to install ROM from the EU models on this N900A model ?
I see forum is splitted, but I really would like to have EU rom, and not the US one

No idea - as you said yourself, this isn't the right forum, so there's not much point asking here. You need to go here.

Try to answer some of your questions
- N900A is Note 3 for AT&T network. While N900 and N9005 are international models. N900 uses Exynos chipset from Samsung, while N9005 and N900A use Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm.
- You can install firmware from EU models (N9005 model)
- Because you are now in the oversea region, you may not get the OTA update. You can, however, download the stock firmwares manually and flash using Kies or Odin. You can check for the latest firmware by installing Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app --> open and press Menu --> select 'Firmware Browser'.

So, all N9005 roms are ok for.my N900A? I am right not on 4.3
What are your experiences. Should I upgrade to 4.4.2?

Not all. AFAIK do NOT use firmware for N9005 Hong Kong (TGY) and Taiwan (BRI) regions. Other regions should be ok.
I personally still on stock 4.3.

I want to use europe version. Not the one for us 4.3 or 4.4.2 however. If it works

Hmm..I just now saw that you wrote two times same model...:S

N900A has a locked bootloader, which means NO CUSTOM RECOVERY OR KERNELS.

[Q] difference between n900w8 and n9000-n9005

Hey everyone.
I'd like to ask what's the differences between the n900w8 and the n9000-n9005?
I live in Canada and I would like to buy the note 3 but the only model offered here is the n900w8 and I don't know if there is any support here or i can flash different roms/kernels etc.
If I can't I will order an n9005 from Europe or USA.
Thanks!

About N900W8
it s one of the LTE edition of Note3
it means thr s same support for it like N9005
But thr might be difference between date of update or something like this
but kernel version and ROM will be same unless firmware or some minor update
So don't worry about buying it
:good:

If it's the snapdragon model then it may be possible to use 9005 roms, I wouldn't bank on it too much though as there is obviously differences in kernels, modem and firmware though.
Has anyone tried flashing 9005 roms on 900w8 ?
Yes cause hardware is same but u will have same kernel but rom maybe different

Hey Everyone,
I have recently bought a new Note 3 from Optus in Australia.
I want to root my device but it appears it is a very uncommon model (SM-N9007) and i cant seem to find any info on how to ROOT this model?
Has one one rooted this model or know how too?
Thanks!

This a very new model of Note 3 so you might have to wait till there will be a solution for it.
In the meantime, could you please help me by installing the app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and post some screenshots here.
If it is possible try to enter the menu [Note 3] Fake Detector and see what does it say.
Download link in my signature.
Thank you.
screen shots as requested
Here are the screen shots you requested.

Thank you very much.
As I have said, this is a very new model so my app has not been updated. This is my app's issue.
I will update my app soon and will need your help to test it again.
Thanks.

Sorry to high-jack the thread.
Does anyone know if its possible to flash the modem from the 9007 to the 9005?
I'm an Optus customer but I bought my Note 3 outright on launch day and I wouldn't mind making use of/playing with
the Optus 4G+ service. :laugh:
Also the 9007 is running JB. Could I still use the modem with KK?
CF_Auto_Root
I have my fingers crossed that Chainfire will be able to get his hands onto the stock firmware and hopefully release CF_Auto_Root files for the N9007 model.... I want to root this thing !
cf-auto-root N9006
Not sure if this helps but I used the cf-auto-root for the n9005 on my chinese n9006 and it worked!
The N9007 seems to be a snapdragon as well so it might just work! But you'd have to risk it.:silly:

Chainfire just released FC-Auto Root for SM-N9007!!!
Any idea if the 9007 modem will work with 9005?
Or is there more to get 4G Plus support?

I can't say for sure, but I'm suspecting there is different hardware in it.
I've just picked up a Note 3 from Optus, and after many failed attempts to put some N9005 ROMs on it, I've realised that it's an N9007.
With the ROMs I've been trying, everything works but the connection to the carrier itself. I've flashed ROMs for years on many devices, so not a newbie.
My conclusion (that I'm trying to confirm via research) is that the modem is different, and N9005 modem files don't work on the N9007. So my guess would be vice versa.

No problems.
I suspect that when there's any official N9007 ROMs released, the modem files should be able to be extracted, and grafted into an N9005 ROM. Checking Sams Mobile for ROMs each day...

can I safely update to kitkat?

I have a rooted n9005 that I bought from Brazil and use in the USA on Tmobile. It has 4.2 on it now, but I want to update to kitkat. Can I flash any version of 4.4.2, or will it turn on the region lock if I flash the wrong version? Thanks in advance.

There is NO 4.2 for Note 3 from beginning, better u give more details with screen shot so some one can help you.

If ur device is SM-N9005, it is an international unlock version of LTE Note 3.
As long as u flash N9005 firmware, u should be fine. Just check ur storage, is it 16gb or 32 gb. U have to flash the correct one. Yours I believe is 32 gb, only hongkong 9005 is 16gb.
And jdomadia is correct, N9005 never comes with 4.2 since day 1. I assume is typo error on ur post.

Thanks! You are both correct: it is 4.3. It is 32 GB. I will do N9005VJUEND1 since it is from Brazil and appears to have no phone company connected.

[Q] N910QC CSC Difference

Hi guys.
I'm planning to buy Note 4 in my country, Turkey and they sell sth called N910CQ. I heard that they disabled 4G in that model. I'm not sure if it's about that or not because we don't have 4G here yet. My question is, is it ok to flash N910C stuff to N910CQ? I read that the only difference is CSC and I read that it's about Signals. Thank you.
I am using Note 4 N910CQ - Turkcell device running Russian Firmware (N910C). No issues at all. Device does support LTE unfortunately we don't have a LTE connection.
My phone's about screen says it's N910C not N910CQ

Oh great then! So we can flash kernels and roms for 910C. Do you know what are differences between C and CQ?
There is no differences between C and CQ. Q stands for Turkey nothing else. You can flash C rom to your device.
One thing you should pay attention is when you flash a C firmware instead of original CQ FW, model number shows N910C which makes easier to detect odin flashed firmware if you care about warranity. But anytime you can return to stock CQ with no problem.
