Hello all I recently upgraded to a note 3 from verizon, and I have unlimited data did the sim trick and still have my UDP!
The problem is I want to install a custom rom so I can thether and watch xbmc, have better battery performance and a faster phone. I rooted and installed custom roms for years on several phones, but the note 3 has become impossible for me so I'm seeking help.
I have kk 4.3 and the MJ7 baseband.....I rooted using kingo then I installed the super user from the play store....then installed busy box(stericson) ...then the latest safestrap 3.75 I think...Once installed I hit the boot to recovery and it goes to the samsung boot screen with the open lock then restarts to the same screen again with the open lock and boots up to the android os... I have installed and uninstalled different version of safestrap and no recovery still. I have softbricked my phone several time already and recovered using odin...My knox counter is on 0x1 but I dont care about that...I want my phone with custom rom I hate this verizon bloatware! Please help!
Hi everyone!
I rooted my phone and went to slimroms as I usually do, but lost the pen features. I tried the normal workarounds but no dice! So.... I used my CWM and went back to the stock ROM right before I went slim. Im not sure when I lost the ability, but I noticed today that I cannot download a pic from chrome, or download a ringtone from zedge. The only thing Ive done since using CWM is I used NextApp SDFix so I could change the SD card permissions to use Titanium backup to remove things like KNOX from the STOCK ROM. I've tried going back to the CWM again but I still cannot download anything. I CAN however if I am using the stock Browser.
Im not a pro at flashing although Im not a newb (rooted/ROM'd my S2 and S3). I tripped the KNOX counter with this, so Im certain that if I return it to rogers as a DOA product they will know. I'm certain the hardward is ok. I just would like a great ROM that I can have pen use with, and be able to do everything my S3 had.
Can anyone PLEASE help me?
EDIT----
I am using a n900w8 on rogers 4.4.2
Hello XDA community
Iam a longtime lurker here what a great community with a wealth of information.
I have a a grasp of the basic rooting and flashing custom roms/kernels over the past few years on my old galaxy s3.
My partner had an OTA update for her gt9505 galaxy s4 today whicg seemed to hang while updating, unfortunately she pulled the battery mid update
The phone can enter download odin mode but i cant get it to open the recovery. I have flashed (using odin) a few different compatible roms they finish installing via odin but when the phone restarts it just turns off it will not go past the galaxy white and black screen. It will turn off again.
It has never been rooted, i spent many hours trying to get to the OS but it fails when restarting. I decided to flash CF-Auto root hoping to get access to recovery. Again it successfully installs cf auto root and restarts and then turns off.
It seems everything i flash never ever saves to memory.
What else can i try please? iam happy installing a custom rom but i cant get it working. iam afraid its bricked for good without expensive repairs.
thanks
lol i managed to get it working.
It was a combination of dead battery and multiple problem cables not charging the phone.
Hello,
I tried several things to unlock my phone, unfortunately, unsuccessfuly.
I use the Sim Unlock code provided by Vodafone : no chance
I rooted the phone and tried Region Lock Away or the Sim Unlock Samsung app, no chance either. I think that the phone is rooted properly but everytime an app request root access, it times out.
I am running out of (good) idea. Any pointer would be very helpful!
Thanks
David
Are you trying all of these thing while running a stock ROM?
I had the same problem with t-mobile in America. It was because I was using a custom rom. I backed up my phone, installed a "stock rooted rom" and was then unable to unlock the sim. Then I used my backup to restore my phone back to the custom rom. Good luck.
I used Odin 3.04 then I install CWM recovery on it.
I tried to unlock the phone before rooting it but it didn't work which is why I try to root it, nothing works... What is a stock rom ? I only want to sim unlock it really, i dont need / want it rooted specifically
What is a stock rom
Stock as in standard firmware as supplied by Samsung .
This all assumes you have a custom rom installed.
You can return your phone to stock (maybe) but it's kind of a pain.
It seems easier to flash a stock rooted rom, which is similar enough to stock to fix your problem.
Google "stock rooted rom vodafone note 3" or maybe just N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005VFGGBOA2 seems to be what you are looking for {actually that appears to be the stock file that you can flash with odin and mostly re-stock your phone.... not sure if it will accomplish what you need}.

If you've rooted and flashed a custom rom your Knox was most likely tripped so you can't use Samsung apps anymore. You can mod shealth and get that working but that's about it. If you flash back to nougat you have to reset your phone.
If you flash nougat via Odin you'll have to reformat your phone
If you flash Oreo you won't need to since your system is already set to Oreo.
Also you said you did something that corrupted your storage, what exactly did you do?

Why not just flash a rooted Oreo rom that already has magisk? As for Samsung apps yeah you tripped Knox so those won't work anymore permanently
