Hello. I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 using Kingo Root program and it was successfully completed. I am wondering what's the next step to take to get custom ROMS. I'm wanting to get CyanogenMod 11 into my phone, but I don't know how to do this. Please help, anyone.
Thank you.

Hi, what you have to do is install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP via Odin (a computer program) and then you enter the recovery with your cellphone and there you can flash new roms, you can search via google, there you will find excellent tutorials
It appears that my Bootloader is locked and when I tried to install a custom ROM, it put me into boot looping.

Pls do google or search youtube. you can find a ton of rooting.
I have TWRP and I can flash my ROM and whatnot. For some reason it won't flash CM11, but it adds the updated Gapps. Any suggestions?

Install cwm recovery and give it another go.

No, you'll need a computer for at least part of the process. What firmware ate you on?
I have a deathly slow xp laptop available.
Firmware is i337UCUEMK2

Well luckily rooting isn't that system taxing. I rooted mine on a 2006 laptop...slow but worked
Just read this guide:

You can't install a custom recovery if you have mk2 firmware your bootloader is locked and currently the only way to run a custom ROM is to use safe strap. You can try this to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 or take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience shop and beg them to flash it.

Well not sure what steps to do as the phone is in download mode. I see the 4th post in that thread has boot modem and recovery and that seems to be what screwed up flashing twrp. I could try that set of steps and see or can I flash back to the previous firmware and be all good and hope the MK2 ota is pushed to me.

Well I flashed the stock recovery and boot img and I got my phone back. Will wait to see if twrp gets supported before flashing a custom rom.

You can't get twrp to work unless someone counteracts sammy's bootloader lockdown--I don't see that happening anytime soon
You need to use SafeStrap as mentioned--read up a lot on it in the General and Q&A sections
You can still flash a fair number of quality roms, but you are limited
You must use SafeStrap's recovery, which if memory serves me, is loosely based on twrp

I recommend you better TWRP or Philz Recovery. Flashing custom recoveries don't wipe your device :highfive:
No. Flashing recoveries will not wipe your device., but it will trip knox to 0x1. This will void your warranty.
I also recommend TWRP. I couldn't flash CWM recovery. I did, but it just booted into the stock recovery instead of CWM. So I flashed TWRP.
Now that i rooted my phone, sometimes after im dome using it, when i hit the power button to off the sceeen, the phone randomly reboots. It Just straight away goes to the samsung spinning logo and then goes to the homescreen. But during the reboot it doesnt play the song and it doesnt go to the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. It's like its a quick reboot idk. This has happened three times now. Is there a way to fix this?

Flash the latest firmware for your device for solve your problems.
Where do i get the latest firmware from? And i dont know which is the latest one. Also will this remove root?

And has flashing the latest firmware removed this problem for other people?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Is this happening because of something called knox? Also can you explain what will happen after i flash the latest firmware? Will i lose root?

Amazing!
Hi, I have the same problem.
I do a wipe reset and a root: root is not working.
I removing root and make some root tentatives:
In Windows (Odin): not working
In Linux (motoshopper): not working
I have the XXUGNG8 and I don't understand why since this update, I can't root again!
Do you have an idea please?
If your talking about the random reboots, it happened to me because i let supersu app disable knox. After that the random reboots started. I fixed that by unfreezing the apps through titanium backup. For me 2 apps called knox notification manager and migration agent were frozen so i unfroze them through titanium backup. Then the random reboots stopped
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
After that you have to remove all the knox files in your phone. Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514703
However, DO NOT delete a file called libknox_encryption.so otherwise your phone will not boot up.

I am considering to root and flash custom rom, I am just thinking if I will lose some pre installed apps like Samsung's Action Memo and S Note. Those two apps are my favorite and I don't want to lose them.
What are other important things should I know before rooting or flashing custom roms. How about my files and datas saved in phone's memory?
Please help. I would really appreciate your response l. Thank you in advance. :thumbup:
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Only time you will lose action memo and s memo is when you flash an AOSP rom or a debloated Touchwiz rom
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
So I can still have the Action Memo and S Note as long as I don't flash AOSP and the debloated TW rom?
So I am thinking to go with Cynogenmod. Would that work better?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
CM is AOSP, so it won't have any S Note or Action Memo stuffs. You will have to look for alternatives, but there are none which is as good as S Note or Action Memo.
And debloated TouchWiz means just some cut apps from stock ROM. Mainly those are apps which very few people use, like S Voice, Chat On, Trip Advisor and some Google apps like Books, Games etc., not Action Memo or S Note.
If you want to keep Action Memo or S Note then you will have to use TouchWiz based ROMs only, doesn't matter custom or stock.
I see. So I need to stick with TW to keep Action Memo and S Note, but I can still root my phone right? What I don't want to do is not to flash custom rom. Please confirm. TIA
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, of course! Rooting has literally nothing to do with those apps, go on, root.
Is there any alternative for Action Memo? Or any note taking apps for me to use my S pen?

You can root and you can install custom roms which are based in samsung stock rom, without losing action memo.
Really!? That is a good news! But I have no idea what samsung stock roms based is.
If you could give me a link of an article or tutorial I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot sir.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Stock ROM means the official ROM, like it came from Samsung. Custom ROMs are those that are modified, have different tweaks and so on, and they are generally not very stable (occasional bugs, lag etc). The more features they have, generally the more laggy they are.
If you want a fluid ROM try Alexander's, it's basically a rooted stock ROM with very few modifications and root access. You will have s note, action memo and everything else you need. You can find the thread on my signature.
Another good ROM I recently tried is audax, it's surprisingly smooth for a custom ROM and it has some interesting features.
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help. I am now excited to root and flash the roms you mentioned. I just still need to learn how to do the root process and flashing roms first. I think I can do my research for tutorials and instructions.

Rooting can't be more easy really.
All you need is Odin on your computer, don't know what's the latest version, search on Google, I use 3.09 and it works fine. Then you need to install a custom recovery, TWRP for example, which you will get from here, https://twrp.me/ Flash it via Odin, I am sure you know you need to put it under AP (PDA) section of Odin. Now you have custom recovery installed.
And then finally you need to download SuperSU zip from here, https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Have that zip package placed on your device, internal, external, doesn't matter, and boot into recovery mode (Vol Up+Power) and find that zip and flash it, done. You are rooted.
Thanks a lot for your help! Yup! I have successfully rooted my note 3.
Could you guys also help me how to install cwm recovery please? Does the file also depends on the model of the phone?
