Dear tweakers of XDA,
I've got a problem with my note 3. After i'd seen the thread for the Note 4 styled S5 Based ROM. I decided i wanted to give Rooting and flashing custom roms a try ( Havn't done it since my S2).
All went well and dandy, i rooted with CF Autoroot knowing my knox counter would trip to 0x1. I've installed CWM Recovery, downloaded the rom and installed it through the CWM Recovery. After install i saw that my wifi didnt work and my 3G Data didnt work which was strange because the regular calling functioned ? Also i installed AEL's newest kernel (because the thread says it wasnt included i had to flash it myself )
After not being able to fix this i'd decided to download ODIN and the correct firmware for my phone, Tmobile Netherlands N9005 TNL version 4.4.2
I flashed it back using ODIN and to my surprise the phone was extremely slow. Reacting really late 5-10-15 seconds later to the sleep/wake button. The lockscreen would also hang for about 30 seconds and the IMEI is unknown. Whenever i open the Phone app it gets stuck. Network doesn't work at all ofcourse because of the IMEI. I do have a backup of my EFS and i'm not too scared of anything. I just really want my note back the way it was
Could you kind people help me ?
if you have a efs back up, so restore it with the original firmware
I used to face the same problem, but i was not as lucky as you - i had no efs back up, and i have to use sptbox - e.g. my original Imei has gone :3
btw, did you face any sensors issues?
There is a efs recovery script in note 3 Android dev thread. Gold luck!

Sup guys. I have a problem with my S4. I doubt anyone will be able to help me find a fix but its worth a try. I hope someone will help.
Anyway, I flashed my GT-i9500 (Galaxy S4) from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Now it doesnt boot, It just gets stuck at the 2nd boot screen. Its not even a bootloop. It just hangs there. The S4 sound that plays gets cut like halfway.
I tried flashing a lot of different ROMS, and it still does the same thing. When I rooted it, I noticed the boot welcome sound plays full, but it still hangs after that.
I used Philz Recovery and mounted all the folders etc, but efs says invalid. So that means the EFS folder is messed. I get that, but I cannot repair the EFS if I cant boot the phone, I need the Samsung MTP **** for Samsung Tool to work. I have an N7100 (Note 2) Where I repaired the EFS with Samsung Tool, I was able to boot the phone.
I looked ALL over the net including this forum and found nothing. Right now the phone is just worth nothing. This is my last option, to ask here myself. If it cant be fixed I just cut my losses and get another phone.
I also flashed a PIT file, CSC file, Modem file during the period I was trying to get this fixed. If anybody knows this problem, It'll be very helpful.
Thanks.
you could try upgrading to 4.4, i have all the files for omega v21
heres the link for all the stuff from my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_trhAurRvdmb0RkNGpoTkVNU0k&usp=sharing
instal the bootloader and phone file via odin, bl = bootloader cp = goes into the phone part of odin
then fash the rom via philz recovery, worth a try !!
good luck
That wouldn't work, thats for the Snapdragon variant I think. The i9505. I have the i9500. I'll download the Omega ROM for i9500 and try it anyway.
Thanks.
Still doesnt work.

Did you tried complete of phone, than power and vol up, at the buzz lose vol up and at loge lose power button.
and then flash with odin bl. and modem
etc.
I've flashed with Odin & Recovery.
I flashed another bootloader, XXUEMK8 & Odexed Knox Free Stock ROM XXEUMK8 & it still does the same. I dont know whats wrong with it.
Another thing I forgot to mention is if I root it using Odin, the welcome sound plays full and it hangs, and if I reboot it, the welcome sound goes back to cutting off again.
This phone probably cant be fixed. I dont know wtf's wrong with this phone. This is WORSE than hard bricked.
oh & as I mentioned before, I have a Galaxy Note 2 & had an EFS problem with it. I fixed it, the difference was this Note 2 actually booted properly with any ROM installed. I used a Z3X Box & Samsung Tool to fix up the EFS. Maybe this problem is only with i9500 or with i9500 & newer models.
Eeeer don't mean to point out the obvious here but you did do a factory reset in stock recovery after flashing stock 4.3 in Odin? That's all you needed to do at the start.
When I went from 4.2 to 4.3 I couldn't get it to boot at all unless I performed factory reset after flash.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
I came from a rooted Samsung org. rom 4.3 to omega v21.1 Android 4.4.2
After this i tried slimkat, and had from first start the same issue, no booting.
Nothing works
only starting with power and vol. up as descried above, I could flash XXUFNA5 bootloader & modems.
After this twrp.
And at last I flashed S4 Google Edition - 4.4.2, a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S 4
Thanks for the help people.
I gave up on trying. I tried everything even factory reset after flashing, different ROMS, different Android versions. 4.1.2, 4.2.2 & 4.3. Today I ended up selling the phone's LCD. Atleast I didnt everything. lol. Wouldn't be buying another Samsung EVER. I was thinking I need another box and stuff, like NSPRO but I dont have that.
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

hello guys,
i have sm-n900 galaxy note 3, my problem is that i rooted the phone before 4-5 months, at that time it wasnt successful so i flashed stock firmware ( N900xxudna6_n900odddna3_inu ) it was all working well for 4 months, now last night , i wanted to root it again, so i tried by flashing ( cf-auto-root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.tar.md5 ) but it got stuck on screen "firmware upgrade encountered and issue, plz select recovery in kies and try again". so i again flashed back ( N900xxudna6_n900odddna3_inu ) and my phone started up, but no i dont have any signal, it says null imei and unknown baseband, i donno what i m supposed to do, i dont know what efs is or anything, its so complicated and confusing, sm 1 plz help me in simple ways.
P.S : i know there are lots of threads regarding this, but i have very little knowledge about rooting and stuff so i cant understand those technical words, so plz help me,
Search the storage for any backup...
try one of the latest firmwares. if dont solved, no solution. you can send to service. if no warranty sptbox or octopus box fixed it with super imei operation. it cant turned back original imei at this time.
I had the exact same problem when i installed the Stock S5 Final for Note 3 on my phone. Everything appeared fine at first, but i had no sound and the phone was rather laggy. Checking out the baseband and IMEI gave the whole null etc. Even flashing back to stock didn't sort it out. I too had no backup and the sorts, as i'd just bought the phone and wanted it rooted and running custom roms (fortunately i know how to root/flash well). Do you have any sound when booting the phone up? If not, then it looks like you may have the same issue i had.
What sorted it out for me was flashing the newest modem. As soon as i flashed the latest N9005 modem (I have the International Note 3), all started working well and the IMEI returned. I'd suggest trying that route if all else fails. Flash the modem in Odin, then return straight to download mode again and flash the modem again. That usually makes sure it flashed properly.

i have searched for several hours now about 12 for a fix and this makes no sense to me so i'm thinking this thread may help or just piss people off idk how forums work any way
after installing this lollipop ROM(link) everything was working perfect very smooth very few bugs almost perfect. i flashed back to unrooted stock after this and now i do not have an imei or a network but i can use my data..... i have tryed the following fixes
1. turn it off and then back on again.....
2. re flash the stock rom with odin
3. use efs professional backup then restore with adb
if i go back to the lollipop rom that i tested i have back the network but my wifi will not work on this rom -.- very confused about what is going on and do not want to risk re flashing the radio if that will brick it
any ideas?
I just swapped from my Amaze 4g, to a used Note 3, and I'm a little lost as far as where I should start.
It says that it's on 4.4.2, and that I cannot update due to a modified system.
Basically, I would like to get updated to 5.1.1 (or as close as is official for the Note 3), and root it.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Samsung devices, and because I purchased this from ebay, I don't know how to tell the exact state that the former user put it in (I expected they would return it to stock prior to selling).
It's currently a T-Mobile branded, SM-N900T, on 4.4.2, build is KOT49H, security software MDF v1.0 release 2. Kernel is 3.4.0-660648.
It is supposedly unlocked for carriers, though I have not attempted a SIM card use yet, until I can tell that what I have is a valid device and the IMEI is checked out.
Any thoughts on how to validate the IMEI, and sort out how to get my new phone up to date would be appreciated. As I stated, I expected the vendor would have returned it to stock, but that is clearly not the case, so I don't want to accidentally boot loop it by doing something I shouldn't. I have not owned a Samsung before, so I want to be careful on how it differs from my Nexus 7, Amaze 4g, and Droid X, as they're all obviously very different in the OS area.
Thank you for the help1
Download tbe stock 4.4.2 rom and use odin to install. Then you will get the OTA updates.

There is no stock 5.1.1 for note 3, only cm12.1/ aosp. Latest is 5.0 and you can use odin to flash. Maybe it's rooted that's why you can't update.

Some apps to install from Play Store...
Phone INFO Samsung - this will tell you all about your phone and the firmware etc.
Root Checker Basic - tells you if you are rooted or not.
SuperSU - this is so valuable you should buy the Pro licence. Chainfire does some great work for our phones.
TWRP - I have the zip version on my extSDCard and an Odin version on PC in case I have to rebuild from a Stock firmware. CWN works OK but most ROM builds seem to be for TWRP I think and a backup from one will not work on the other.
I don't know your previous phone so you probably need Odin v3.09 - this sits on PC and lets you flash firmware to the phone. (connected by USB)
For which you need Samsung USB drivers so the PC will recognise the phone. Install on PC before connecting phone.
Then do some browsing and find the processes to root your phone and install the ROM you want. If you just want Stock and access to all your phone, you can root it after flashing the original v5.0 download (from Sammobile or similar site - note on Sammobile you need a free account to DL) and then install Custom recovery (if wanted - it WILL trip the Knox flag but that may not matter given it's 2nd hand and might already be tripped anyway)
Read, make SURE you understand what is being said BEFORE you do anything - ask if you don't.
Good luck...
N9005 Lollipop brick
Hi All, just need a huge help here, a friend of mine has been using a N9005 which was auto restarting, she went online and downloaded this firmware...N900AUCUEOC1_N900AATTEOC1_N900AUCUEOC1_HOME.tar.md5....2.5GB in size...and flashed it, but the phone is stuck in boot loop even after recovery wiping data and cache, the phone can boot into download mode but re flashing the firmware always fails.....is there a solution for this.....please help
Thank you all for the info, especially the detailed info from Journyman16. I checked, and it is flagged as custom, which is fine, so I'm going to go ahead and try to return to mostly stock, update it, and root it.
Ok, everything went well. I had to do two attempts at rooting, but I think it's just one of those things where sometimes it doesn't restart into the process every time.
All seems good. I'm on 5.0, rooted, busyboxed, and smooth sailing.
Thank you all, again, for the tips. The Note 3 is running very well. Thank you to all of the devs that have made this process so refined. I've donated to you before, and did so again today. It's outstanding to have such well versed coders, on XDA, helping out the community.
