Galaxy Note 3 SM N-9005 Malaysia - Lollipop update - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Update Error

Hi guys! I hope someone could help me. I just bought a Galaxy Note 3 (international version) yesterday. The phone's fine. It's just that I am unable to update. I am able to download it but when my phone reboots it shows a dead android with a red triangle on its chest. I read flashing the firmware via odin can fix it but problem is our internet is hella slow. I couldn't even complete downloading my brother's Note 2 firmware. Any way I can make it install the firmware successfully? By the way it's OTA. I am able to download the update, just won't let me finish installing it. Goes around 35% then the android on the black screen dies with a red triangle on its chest.
EDIT:
I have official firmware, never rooted, just got it yesterday. Still factory new.
version 4.3, build # JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7, baseband version N9005XXUBMI5, Kernel version 3.4.0-1626679
Have you tried reseting your phone go into recovery mode factory reset

Was your phone brand new? And did you check your KNOX status? -- reason I ask, after you've rooted a phone you are unable to recieve OTA updates, unless you use Wanam to fake system status, then you can download the OTA update but it stalls on the install about 35% or so in..
Best advice, is grab the stock image from sammobile (ballache to download I know) then use ODIN to flash her back to original state.

i didn't root the phone when i got it. it's fresh and on official firmware. have no idea about KNOX, that's new to me. if it helps, my device status says "official"
unfortunately the internet in my area is very slow, i couldn't download firmwares from sammobile. i tried several times

Ah Ok, if it says Official it should be good to go. Seems like maybe the download has gotten corrupt due to an intermittent internet connection.

OK, then maybe you should learn a few things before trying to update - Knox is a security system in latest Samsung phones that is supposed to be triggered/set when you root (or install any custom kernel/recovery). Your initial (old) firmware could still let you root without triggering the Knox flag, and then you can update to the latest firmware for your region using Mobile Odin Pro and still keep your root AND without triggering the Knox flag. However once you update using Samsung OTA / Odin / Kies to a firmware more recent than MJ3 you can no longer root without also triggering your Knox warrany flag - read more about this in the Universal Root De La Vega thread!
i gave up after several tries, since i'm on 4.3 i think that would do for now. maybe it's just downloading a stability update or something? everytime i do an OTA update, it tells me that the download of the new firmware is complete then reboot. when i get to 32% the droid falls flat on its back and shows the red triangle on its chest, over and over. i don't lose my phone data or anything. just won't update. i'll wait for 4.4 Kitkat instead. hope i'll be able to update to that when it comes out.
EDIT: i tried going into recovery mode, wiping cache, and factory reset.. still no dice. maybe Odin's the only way i guess. problem is my internet connection lol

[Q] Samsung S4 freezing and reboot after update to 4.3

hello all,
I have recently bought a used samsung s4 ( GT-i9505 ) which was rooted on android firmware 4.2.2 (***MGA) and worked perfectly. When i unrooted and upgraded it on 4.3 ( ***MKF) , the phone suddenly starts freezing and reboot even thought it is in a safe mode! either the sdcard was being unmounted or i wiped data the problem exists! the phone stops responding and reboot! ( No 3rdparty apps is installed )
The producedure which i followed to unroot it and upgraded was:
1.i used triangle away to reset counter
2.i used odin 3.09 to flash the new android which i downloaded from sammobile.com
3.after firmware installation, i made a wipe data/cache
In short, my phone status goes back to "official" and the cpuz utility root status goes back to "no rooted"
Do you have any ideas about the solution? did i make anything wrong in firmware installation?
my phone is going to be useless, it's rebooting every 10-15 minutes.
Please either anyone knows or have any ideas about my issue let me informed making me a comment...
thank you!
Same issue

You also need to add some of the stuff it is written in download mode and the log in Odin when in fails. If you went to 4.4.2 on N9005 you can not return to 4.3 (which you should have read by now, there are only 200 posts in 50 threads about it). What kind of N9005 was yours (16/32/64GB), what region/CSC?

Hi All,
My problem :
I wanted to install the official kitkat rom but I made a big mystake : I took N900 files instead of N9005...

I tried to flash the complete official 4.4.2 rom but odin failed with message on the phone : "ODIN : invalid ext4 image"
Anybody has any idea to help me ?

After installing DBT NB4 FW ( or with Polish NB3 FW) my LTE speeds become almost 0.
I tried multiple installs.
Any guidance?
Quick tip: Uninstall KIES.
Kies is like a big brother.
Use ODIN 1.85 and tick update phone bootloader. That's how I fixed mine. The other versions of Odin wouldn't let me update bootloader.
Of course, before you do this Flash/wipe data in recovery mode.
But uninstalling KIES solved my issue.

[Help] OMG! Did i Brick my new note 3!? :(

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.

Ik Knox is 0×0,then u can try samsung service centre ?

Stuck with N9005

Hi all
I am a silent reader of this forum since long but for the first time I feel like as if I am in a real trouble. A couple of days ago I got a Note 3 International version N9005 Snapdragon from a friend. It was running on 4.3 rooted version so I tried to update it to 5.0 stock using odin (Sammobile UK BTU firmware). Something went wrong over there and i got a FAIL message from odin. There onwards I tried searching all over the web but couldn't bring it back to life. One thing I never tried and won't do it that is use of pit file for re-partitioning. Now at this moment it has got a CWM recovery 6.0.4.7-kk(0125) installed but whenever I even try to flash a custom rom, it installs successfully but after reboot i am stuck again samsung logo. I have tried using a few kk custom roms with no success and also tried flashing 4.3, 4.4.2 and 5.0 stock roms from odin with again no success. Now my aim is to bring this thing back to life. Kies 3 gives a message that your device is not compatible with this version of kies.
Waiting for some expert opinions, I am ready to start from the beginning.
Regards
