Hey guys. Ive had a note 3 before in the past and have used the Root DelaVega to root successfully. This was early in the year. I sold my old note 3 for an HTC One. Well today i traded my HTC One back for a note 3 as i missed the Note 3. As soon as i came home i attempted to use the Root DelaVega method to foot (just like i did before) and immediately it failed.
I have been stuck on a screen saying "firmware update encountered an issue - select recovery in Kies" so i tried Kies 3.2 however it says my device is not compatible. Come to find out after doing research (talking to the original owner i traded my HTC One for) the Note 3 i have is on the latest version of KitKat 4.4.2 that is not compatible with the Root DelaVega method or any root method - so i screwed that up. I can successfully boot in and out of download mode. Ive tried to flash N900XXUDNA6 4.4.2 in Odin several times, it begins then fails almost immediately and the bar on the phone itself (in download mode) begins then freezes shortly after beginning. Ive also tried to flash N900XXUDNC1 JellyBean thru odin and get the same results - almost immediately fail and the blue status bar on the phone freezes when it barley begins. What else can i do??? am i totally screwed? Ive been researching and trying to fix this for 6 straight hours now! My gf is about to kill me for being online so long Is there anything i can do at this point? Am i stuck.
Do you know what Region the phone was originally? I had a similar issue and I had to get the Hong Kong (in my case) version of a stock ROM and flash that to get things working again. Not all partitions are the same - you might need a PIT file to match your original region and then flash the ROM.
What info do you get in DL mode?

Yes the phone is for AT&T so it's US. When I go into DL mode Knox counter is still 0x0. Is there a certain firmware I need then to match with the AT&T model? Or a pit?

Go to Sammobile and see if you can find the version you had, sounds like an older JB if kingo app didn't trip Knox. Reflash that using ODIN.
I don't know if there was a problem with American bootloader, see if there's an AT&T Note 3 forum. Might find answers there...

Hi mate,
if you are stuck, maybe you can try this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2701062
it's a way to unbrick your software.
and if the older owner of your N3 said it's on the latest firmware of kitkat.
maybe your problem is the firmware in the sammobile were before the firmware you have install on your device via OTA update.
Yours firmware came throw out via OTA update and with some reason you can't see any latest firmware USA N900A in sammobile.
try the method in the link and reply if you have been successful.
cumps
Ik Knox is 0×0,then u can try samsung service centre ?

Hey guys, I'm a novice and I am very distressed at the moment. What should I do? Here's my full story:
About 5 months ago (December 23 2013), I bought a Galaxy Note 3 N900W8 Rogers from eBay (No warranty included. Yep not smart). After having received my phone in the mail, I proceeded to root it and install CWM recovery successfully. Until yesterday (May 11 2014), all was going fine till I decided to try and update my phone to Android 4.4.2. I couldn't get updates OTA since it kept telling me my phone was modified. So I plugged my phone to my computer and opened up Kies and apparently Kies was able to fetch an update for my phone. I started updating and came back later seeing that my phone was stuck on the logo screen "Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3" with the "Recovery Booting" in blue in the top left corner. I knew that after I updated my phone would be unrooted and CWM would be gone too so I decided to install those since I wasn't booted into Android yet. After rooting and installing CWM, I restarted several times but it wouldn't boot. I went into Recovery Mode and I did a factory reset and wiped cache. I restarted again but nothing, still stuck on the Logo screen. I am still able to go into download mode and recovery mode. I should have read the cautions of updating since once you update to 4.4.2, there's no going back.
Please help, I don't know what to do at this moment. Thanks in advance!
My phone is also unlocked. I also had a backup but I didn't know the update would format the memory of my phone so I lost everything.

Get the full firmware for your phone and install it with Odin (in download mode). Also read around the main threads on the N900W8.

Thank you so much! It worked when I flashed the 4.4.2 Rex firmware.
Hello everyone,
i am fairly new to the world of rooting and recently encountered a problem while flashing a rom
i have the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 N-900A running 4.3 jellybean (2 year contract expired and i got and used the unlock code)
i rooted the phone using the kingo root app, because i could not update the phone (I recently moved out of the USA so i cant connect to an at&t server to update)
i installed safestrap recovery 3.71 and it was running fine
i found a tutorial from galaxy note 3 root for the knoxraid ro
(put youtube. c o m here) /watch?v=8HDHt4xSnQY
according to the tutorial i had to install the rom over the stock rom file
so i copied the stock rom to rom slot 1
this is where i messed up, i installed the knoxraid rom over the stock rom without wiping/data factory reset first. But it gets worse, i realized i forgot to wipe the data from safestrap so before the install was even halfway completed, i pulled the battery out.
now whenever i turn it on it will go straight to recovery mode
it wont even turn off. i have to pull the battery out.
i can get to download mode and recovery mode but thats it.
im not sure about the build number because it wont boot up
all i can tell you is it is a at&t note 3 running 4.3 jellybean
please help if you can
btw: my computer wont recognize the phone because it says the PHONE does not have the correct drivers installed
however odin still recognizes it with the blue box with 0:[COM6] if that helps
so yeah please help me the phone is fairly new and i dont want to waste $600

Well, this is the wrong forum to begin with.
However, head over here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006 , and read very, very carefully.

sorry, next time ill post in the right forum

thanks in advance
I've been searching on how to root my note 3 N900, but the videos said that it only works on a specific type of model/firmware version. I have the N900UBUENH1, will I be able to root using this method: http://www.galaxynote3update.com/root-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900-4-3-4-4-2-kitkat-updates/ ? I have Android 4.4.2. I searched up my firmware version and it's not very common. Could my phone be fake?
maybe you can try cf-auto-root by chainfire
NH1 can use it to root.But it's said NI1 can't

I have the same one. Well my gf does and we need to root it. I tried CF Auto Root and it won't finish, it just hangs at a certain point. Afterward the bootloader was like gone and it would not boot. Trying to flash TWRP fixed it and I can boot not ( It also does not boot into TWRP---weird right?) What works for this? I am also not sure which ROM is actually on the phone. I see a few on there that match but not sure which exact firmware is on the thing. I think Samsung has some typos on their site. I am seeing there are some with 2 "U"s in the name. In the bootloader though it says the CSC chosen is TTT...
Update: Well I figured out finding the CSC and given that it can be either: Uruguay, trinidad and tobago, chile, panama, Argentina. The box also says to only use American SIMs on it. Well it has that sticker on it. I assume you still can use it. Anyways how do you root the thing?
I rooted N900UBUENH1 succesfully installing TWRP first (I use twrp-2.8.6.0-ha3g.img.tar file) using Odin 3.09. The key is to uncheck Auto Reboot (uncheck all items under Options) and when Odin finish flashing TWRP (tells you to reset phone), take out battery. Put battery again and restart in recovery mode:
- Press vol.up+home+power and hold Galaxy logo appears and disappears several times
- When displayed for the third time, release the power button and wait
- Release vol.up and home when TWRP logo shows up
Now, from TWRP, you can install SuperSU (latest version from download [dot] chainfire [dot] eu [slash] supersu).
Quick guide: HERE.
Joku1981:
The method described there use CF-Auto-Root and didn't work for me (freeze at 30% aprox in phone's progress bar). Searching in forums I found a lot of people with this particular phone that also CF-Auto-Root didn't work.
Hi everyone,
This is my first post and I hope that I am in the right section.
As per info in the thread title, I have a Malaysian Samsung Galaxy Note 3 updated to the last available firmware 4.4.2
I am trying to flash Lollipop with Odin (i followed all the instructions in the guide, literally step by step).
I have tried with the italian Lollipop update branded Vodafone, but Odin always failed and the phone was soft bricked.
I have reinstalled the original malaysian firmware 4.4.2 that i had prior this attempt. phone booted ok and worked perfectly fine.
Then i downloaded the lollipop firmware from poland, this thime odin completed the process and gives me a pass. but the phone goes in boot loop (samsung logo at booting never goes away). I have tried to reboot in recovery mode and wipe the cache. but still boot loop.
Would anyone be so kind to explain what i am doing wrong and how i could install lollipop on my malaysian galaxy note 3?
Any help would be much appreciated.

note 3 lolipop(Malaysia) N9005
Guys good news because this morning when I was checking my software update ... Thru Ota is about 860mb and thru keis 3 is about 1.3gb. Took me couple hours to download and about 1hour ++ to install. Booting up took some time and luckily everything is working fine for the time being.
Anyone updated and how's the battery draining issue.
i try update my note3 using kies3, it confirmed lollipop 5.0 available to update, but unfortunately my note3 repeatedly crash during upgrade and window on kies top up said "PC cant recognized my phone". Maybe cause of my knox warranty void 0x1 (trip). i hack on local C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Temp and get copy of *.zip files (N9005DXUGBOD1_N9005OLBGBOD1_HOME.zip). It was lollipop firmware version for malaysia. Upgrade it using Odin and succesfull installed.
Lolipop
I was having the same issue while updating thru keis. So I downloaded it thru OTA. Battery sucks after lolipop. If you are facing any issue just send me a mail
