So I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900t very recently, but I don't what to do first. I have heard and read the first thing I should do it make a complete system backup. Now how do I even start doing that?
Someone and here told me to do it with CWM and TWRP, but didn't explain how, please don't do that explain it to me.
My whole point of rooting was to get rid of the bloatware that came with my phone (which I don't know how to), and to use custom roms.
If you know of any custom roms you recommend please me tell which one and how how to install it, as it will be my first time.
Please be detailed and dumb it down as much as possible as I am very new at this. I'm just a kid really trying to learn.
Someone please help, I'm beginning to lose faith and to think rooting my phone was a very bad idea.
Your best bet is to look at the root thread. It has very detailed information.
Go to CyanogenMod site. You'll have detailed information on how to install CM11 on Note 3.
For other ROMs check the development thread.

Hi Yeroslav,
Seems like you're new to custom romming and rooting. There are roms here in the development forums with "HALO" in their topic header. These are the roms that you may want.
Rooting and romming has it's risks (soft bricking/ hard bricking etc.) and puts you at risk of various problems unless you know how to solve them when they arise ( bootloop. network errors) , so maybe you want to google it before you begin anything. (We're all doing it, so it's low risk, unless you do something majorly wrong like flashing a rom for a different phone model)
Also, when referring to forums here, you first need to check your GS4 model if it's I9505 or I9500, commonly found when you first boot your phone. Once you've obtained the model number do look in the relevant forums (Android development/original android development) for rooting and custom romming methods. (As mentioned before, flashing roms for a different model can result in bricking, so do check your GS4 model before you start anything).
I'll keep this instructions brief (Just google what you don't know).
1. Get root by flashing rooted (stock?) roms through odin.
2. Get a custom recovery by flashing Clockworkmod(CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project(TWRP).
3. Find out how to use CWM/TWRP
*Check the forums and use the search feature to get your way around. Any kind XDA member would continue elaborating on my brief instructions, do go ahead.
Happy flashing!
Cheers.
Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.
Hi guys,
Please excuse my ignorance and thanks for taking the time helping noobs like myself.
So im looking at rooting my S5 to enable me to delete the bloatware and tidy it up a little while not flashing a custom rom but have a few questions. I'm sure they've all been answered but like most things online, the more questions i find answers to, the more seem to pop up.
So firstly I've got a G900F running lollipop. As im only looking to gain root access and not install a custom ROM do i need to downgrade to KK. If this is the case can i pick any date version of the sammobile site, or should i just choose the most recent.
Secondly to root the phone should i just follow the instructions on the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...ethod-t2843044
They're not crystal clear to me so are there any all out noob guides out there?
Will doing either of these also wipe my phone and regardless should i back it up and if so using what?
Oh but that link i posted doesnt work so....

That one however does!
I am new to Flashing Android phones and I hope someone can help me through this process. I am technical by nature but like everything else, if you have never done something before, it's always best to consult with those who have as to not brick your phone.
I have a Samsung S4 model number SPH-L720. This was purchased from Freedom Pop so it is technically their own custom ROM on the Sprint network. I later found out that their service is horrible and want to reflash my phone to a standard factory ROM, either a factory Sprint Rom or a Factory Google S4 (Non Carrier Specific) Rom.
The phone currently has Android Version 4.4.2 but I am flexible which version OS is on there.
I am confident with all the experts on this forum, someone can lead me through this process and let me know where to get the ROM's to put on here etc.
The phone already is rooted as it comes from Freedom Pop Rooted already.
Thank you all for your assistance. I will be sure to assist others in the process once I learn it myself.
I'm not a professional, but I might be able to help.... I'll try anyway
You mentioned being fine with returning to the stock ROM. Under normal circumstances that would be pretty complicated because you would need to install using ODIN and re-root afterwards. However, assuming you are running a custom recovery you should be able to install a zip from galaxys4root DOT COM, under the "galaxy s4 rooted stock roms" tab. These ROMs are all stock ROMs that are already rooted and may have a tweak or two. I recommend checking out the ROMs on that site, until you find what your looking for.
The following article should be helpful for installation via custom recovery: highonandroid DOT COM /android-roms/how-to-install-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery-failproof-method
As I am a newbie on this forum I cannot post links, so please replace DOTCOM with appropriate extensions. Again, I'm not a professional, in fact, this is the first time I've attempted to give any advice yet so I apologize if I am lacking clarity. If I use any terms that don't make a lot of sense to you, feel free to ask any questions and I will attempt to respond in a timely manner.
Not sure how to efficiently help people when I am unable to use links. So I'm sorry if this offends any XDA mods. And I hope that any mods who read my reply will take into account that I am not spamming. I am trying to help.
Any luck?

Edit: Sorry, I have seen that one isn't meant to post questions here but I haven't seen an option to delete this thread, if someone wouldn't mind doing it for me or moving it to the correct place that would be appreciated.
I have a rooted Note 3 SM-N9005 on 4.4.2, I also have ClockwordMod recovery installed I believe. I have managed to get here without really knowing what I'm doing, so I'm struggling to figure out how best to upgrade to Lollipop. I have seen there are nightly CyanogenMod images, however I would like something stable. My problem is that I don't know what the criteria would be for selecting an image. I've seen the Polish official one, but I don't know whether that would be any good for an English language user and I don't know what I'd need to do to get my phone in a state ready to install this image.
Is anyone able to say, in relatively simple terms, what I'd need to do to upgrade to Lollipop please? If there are any more details I can provide let me know.
