I have the international version of Note 3, bought in Argentina (with Exynos). Yesterday, I installed the lastest Lollipop stock ROM from Russia.
I didn't do a full wipe. Everything works well (except Swype, which I disabled for now), but if I turn on Wifi, it doesn't detect any network, and in a few seconds, the SAMSUNG (booting) screen appears, and keeps loop booting like that until I turn off Wifi.
What may be the problem? Should I do a full wipe? Should I try to access the log and see what fails?
Thanks in advance.
Factory reset flash a new firmware .
In that order?
Is there any way to know what is failing without factory reseting?

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
Hi im having the same problem have you been able to fix this?
Dial *#1234# and attach the screenshot :highfive:
Did you factory reset it?if you didn't of course you will encounter problems,also check the rom you downloaded maybe it is not complete or flash a newer version
Hi all,
Some weeks ago I installed the first leaked 4.4.2 FNA1 from Samsung using Odin 3.9 (coming from official italian 4.3) and had no problems at all, except for little issues that all other FNA1 users were experiencing.
Yesterday decided to install the newer leaked 4.4.2 FNAD (always with Odin 3.9) and got this strange bootloop issue: the phone boots regularly after the upgrade but if I don't switch off either wifi or cellular it reboots (soft reboot, i.e. without asking Sim pin code) every minute or so.
If I switch off wifi or cellular it doesn't reboot and works perfectly.
Is there a solution I can try to solve this issue? Consider that I can't downgrade to the official 4.3 because 4.4.2 FNAD uses the new bootloader and I already tried the following things without changes:
- wipe data and cache from recovery mode
- re-flash FNAD
- flash FNA5 (the previous leaked): same behaviour
I know that I could try something rooting the phone (i.e. reinstall the old 4.3 or a modded ROM) but I would do it just in case it's the last chance I've got. My S4 i9505 has never been rooted. Knox counter is 0x0.
Many thanks to all of you.
Solved!!!!!! For future reference the problem occured because during re-initialization I restored the cloud backup from the Samsung account and maybe it contained a setting that was not good anymore with the FNA5 and newer firmwares and caused this issue. I tried to re-initialize the s4 (after a full wipe) without restoring from the backup in the Samsung account and it worked. Now everything is perfect!

Hi. So I'm an owner of a new N910C (bought in Austria, I believe it's Polish distribution). It's running 5.0.1 and I'd like to root it. This is my second Android device, so please excuse me if I don't understand something painfully obvious.
According to this post the root for 910F 5.0.1 should work for 910C as well. It doesn't for me. It stucks in ODIN (at cache.img.ext6) and doesn't give me a fail message or anything, so I had to disconnect. The firmware was of course broken, I flashed the stock ROM, it booted, gave me the android.acore crashed error, I did a factory reset + backup. At first I was blaming the USB port, so I tried a different one, the same result.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you for any help.
Hi Guys, Please I need your help.
I purchased a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (LTE Hongkong TGY Variant) in the Philippines.
Its is not rooted. Android version still at 4.3 when i bought it.
Tried to update it via OTA at 32% it will fail and then reboot. No changes will be made after the reboot.
I tried to update it via Samsung Kies / Smartswitch it worked.
From Android Jellybean 4.3 , I updated it to Android Lollipop 5 via Kies / Smartswitch.
But........
After the update If i will use or touch a certain application the phone will start to reboot by itself.
This happens very often like every 15 minutes.
The batter drains fast and the device heats up like crazy when i use the camera or i open up a game app then it will reboot automatically.
-Tried to do a soft and hard reset already by pressing volume up, menu key & power of button,
I cleared the cache and wiped user data already. But still nothing has changed.
-Tried to re-update the handset via USB on Smartswitch for Android 5 Lollipop but its still the same.
Here are my Note 3 handset info:
-Handset is from Hongkong(TGY)
-Baseband Version before the update: N9005XXUBMI5 (Android 4.3)
-Baseband Version after the update: N9005ZSUGOL1 (Android 5) ( i provided a screenshot)
-Is it safe to update the phone via Odin 3.10, then get a Firmware from Sammobile then flash it?
-The phone is from Hongkong (TGY), should i choose a Firmware from Hongkong? Or Is it ok to choose a Firmware from the Philippines? since i am here right now.
-Is it okay to downgrade from Android 5 to Android 4.3 or 4.4.2? ( Would you recommend it or no?, others are saying if i have upgraded my handset to the latest android update I cannot go back anymore to a lower Android version, if i do i might encounter problems or worst case i might brick the phone.
-If possible i do not want to root my handset, but if it is needed im willing to do it.
Please guys , i need your expertise on this. I really need your help badly to get my phone on its working state again.
Your reply and tutorials will be much appreciated.
Thank you and more power.

Hi guys, I'm lost, i tried flash almost everything to my freshly bought board from aliexpress but I had only success with "N9005-hlte_PDA-XXUEND6_CSC-OXXEND2_MODEMS-XXUENC2_REPACK.tar.md5" and some others but after locking and unlocking display stays black ( buttons under screen lights up and system seems to work but no visual after unlock - after swipe to unlock. I cant flash any custom rom and only some 4.x official roms. And no, i don't know what firmware was originally on it (stupid me)....
download mode info:

Are you saying you bought a motherboard ??
If so the new motherboard defines the firmware not your old setup .
Yeah i got new, i didn't know there's so many variants of software for phone, my good old note 2 is almost unbrickable. Any suggestions how to get it alive ?
Ok guys, I got some progress, I successfully flashed 5.0 SM-N9005_1_20160121153514_7lzesanh3b_fac tgy coz i think this is hong kong board. Everything works but i have extremely low wifi signal even when I'm standing next to router, gsm networks mostly same bad signal and whats odd, I can see sim signal without sim in phone. Isn't it coz of bad modem ? How should i continue ? Thanks.
edit:
And i still cant flash any custom rom trough twrp, always stuck on writing system partition - sometimes with error 7 and sometimes just endless loop of writing system :/
Try Philz Recovery .
I tried philz - works but cant flash rom, stucked on system, cwm - same, twm - works only some older versions not the lastest one, only sometimes it boots to lastest and cmr - not working. After rooting using supersu zip had some random reboots for some time.
