Just wait until the right 4.4.2 ROM is available in your Country and flash it with Odin. Make sure you got the samsung driver installed! In Odin just check F.TIME RESET and AUTO REBOOT and choose in PDA your downloaded ROM.
(Maybe after that you have to make a "factory" reset under the settings in your Note3

My god!
My last phone was Sony Xperia S, and to do a clean install all i have to do is to say to the software update that i want a clean install...
I am a litle scare right now... dont know what is odin...

Just wait for ota to arrive, install it and afterwards go to settings, general, back-up and restore and do a factory data reset. Make sure you have a backup of things you need afterwards.

If you scared I recommend you that you don't do it. It's possible to hard brick your phone.
Also you have to check bootloader update in Odin, otherwise your phone gets a bootloop.
Don't try this if you not know what you are doing!!!
Also you can't step back to an earlier rom if you flash the the official 4.4.2 version cause bootloader is locked and atm there are no solutions for that.

Yip if you are scared to do it. Don't. You need to read up and read some more. Playing with firmwares is tricky and you can ruin your phone.

Just download the 4.4.2 the Official from Poland,Do a Factory Reset /wipeDATA/Cache
Then go to Download mode, open ODIN 3.07 and start.

If you flash XEO Official version, your data stays intact and nothing gets lost. -- IF you have a Hong Kong variant don't flash this at all.
EDIT:: You seem very very unsure, I'd advise you don't do it. Because you will be straight back here if you mess up.

Help after 4.4.2 upgrade

I was running X Note on 4.3 and decided to upgrade to xnote 8 . I downloaded the official polish 4.4 firmware and followed the instructions and every thing seemed fine, I lost my TWRP recovery so i decided to reinstall my custom recovery. But now i have done that my phone is stuck in a boot loop. What have i done wrong?
I have tried the chain fire method and the Goomanager method but none are working?

My phone is up and running on stock 4.4.2 but i cant install any custom recoverys. What can i do?

Probably using the wrong version of custom recovery. Grab the latest CWM by chenglu (.06 ) or the newest TWRP and you should be OK

I have tried both of the latest Cwm and TWRP and even cf auto but it still won't root my phone

Hi mate
I flashed the the KK firmware from sammobile with the update boot loader ticked. Booted back into the stock rom fine but what ever method i use to flash a custom recovery just fails. When i tried the Goomanager method my phone boot loops and i have to re flash the phone again. I have tried both the latest versions of TWRP and CWM. Never had any problems like this before. When i 1st got the phone i did the chain fire method which takes less than 30 seconds but this also doesn't work know.
I took the phone back to carphone warehouse this morning and they have sent it off for repair. Hopefully ill get a note 3 back running 4.3 and ill wait for the official firmware:good:

[Q] Galaxy Note 3 9005 - Unresponsive after restoring stock firmware through Odin???

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but have read many things on it and have gotten lots of help, but this question NEEDS a new thread!
I have been using my International Galaxy Note 3 (9005) for about 9 months, I bought it from Kogan in Australia and just recently I decided to root it using CF-Auto Root and then flash X-Note build 18.
A couple of days ago I decided that I didn't like X-Note that much so I tried and flashed Omega Rom. That all worked fine but I didn't really like any of the custom Roms and I just wanted to go back to stock.
So I download (for the first time) the newly released KitKat Australian SM-N9005 Firmware from SamMobile and tried to flash it through Odin straight over Clockwork mod recovery and over the Omega Rom that I currently had installed. When it finished it said that it had failed and something about the Ext4 not being valid, I was shocked (his had never happened to me before with Odin).
I no longer could boot into recovery and the phone said to plug it into Samsung Kies 3 and do an emergency recovery, So i plugged it in and it said that the device was not recognized, and it would not show up in the device list within the emergency recovery window.
So I did a lot of Googleing and came to the conclusion that It was probably the N9005 Australian Rom not being compatible. So after all of these errors and such I booted back into download mode and tried to install one of the other Kitkat Official firmwares that had worked fine before.
It installed just fine and Odin said reset and I unplugged it. but when it booted for the first time I was getting boot loops continually and when and now as I just start to go through the setup process the interface lags and it flashes black a few times and says I have no Sim card in (Which I DO!) and it restarts several times and IS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
It also takes about ten seconds or more after pushing the power button in to get the display to display again and it is unusable and behaving all weird.
The first few times I flash the stock firmware on it through Odin, it remembered my wallpaper, which is really weird seeing I factory reset it!
My best guess is that Flashing it through Odin and and factory reseting it is just not completely clearing it/wiping it and the system is all messed up and stuff is left over.
I don't no WHAT to do!!!! I can't even use it and it's driving me crazy can somebody, please help me!!!!
Thank you!

Look in to omega rom which version of android base it's used, flash same version of stock rom, may not available for Australian but u can flash other countries stock rom, try this & good luck.

Hi why would I have to flash the same android base as omega and what actually is Android Base?
Also will this fix it and how do I check the android base?
Thanks

If omega rom has higher bootloader version, it will not allow to downgrade if Australia stock firmware version is lower, to find out of version u must look at omega rom u flashed.

Should I try a 'Mega Wipe' to completely format it? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501577

And I was just reading something about no signal and IMEI, I have no signal and it says no sim card, does that mean I've lost my IMEI forever??
When I was installing x-note I thought EFS backup meant a CMR full backup

As long as I know Dr.ketan tools & utility is for SM-N 900 3g version note3, but u can read more & do it as you want.

Yes the original was, but this script is modified for the n9005 like the guys says in the link.
Will this mega wipe fix my phone??

I don't know about mega wipe, if I will be in your place before making case complicated I would prefer to flash LATTEST STOCK ROM.

How To Install Custom ROM on AT&T/Verizon Galaxy S4 using SafeStrap Recovery!

I have a problem....even dought I boot on Partition 1, just created, it says :
E: Unable to mount '/systemorig'
Worst part is...it let me do the installing procces of the Hyperdrive+RLS9.1+S4+Final and then...doesn't boot.
My Phone is : S4 Active SGH-i537 from At&T Unlocked and rooted.
Android 4.4.2
UCUAMF1
UCUCNE3
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advanced!

Try to odin to stock (make sure you get the correct files), root, install SafeStrap following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448942
After that you need to flash the rom, kernel modules (you can get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447764), then after that you flash SuperSU (if you don't have that file then here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 DO THESE STEPS I JUST SAID IN THE SAME ORDER LISTED HERE: Flash ROM, correct kernel modules, and then SuperSu.)
If the same error ocurrs then it's most likely the rom just isn't compatible with you device. Also, make sure it's an S4 Active rom not a normal S4 rom.
NOTE: I do not own an Active, but doing some 5 minute research is what helped me figure this out for your device.

Ok, I´ll try! Sorry, but everything I did before, unsuscefully is the result of many hours of forum research......problem is....I don´t know a lot about this....yes, probably shouldn´t mess with it, but truth is I live in Argentina, and wifi + bluetooth stop working with stock rom....no matter how many times I hard reset it so I figured changing rom might solve it........

I went to through the same you're going through with my S4. I ended up flashing the wrong Odin files like 5 times before I figured out what file to flash, lol. Glad to help

after you flash with safetrap, does the kernel have to be flash with safetrap or with Odin? i did root my GS4 using Odin and have the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel. can i use that one or do i need to download any other tipe of kernel??

You need to flash the kernel modules via SafeStrap. The NJ4 modules (and other modules) can be downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 navigate down to the KitKat Install instructions, look for step 4 (Install ATT Kernel Modules), in the first sentence click the hyper link redirecting you to AndroidFileHost, and then download the corresponding Kernel Modules to FLASH DIRECRLY AFTER EVERY ROM YOU FLASH.
THE FILES LINKED ARE FOR NORMAL S4 ONLY.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app

Those two things are different...
You can only flash the nj4 kernel via Odin using the ap slot. I'm not sure if safestrap can flash kernels, because we're not meant to or we would be using twrp.
The nj4 modules should be flashed along with what ROM you're using during use of safestrap.

I was referring to the stock kernel modules (what I linked him/her to) needed to be flashed after the ROM each time. Also in SafeStrap, can't you flash stock kernels? I'm pretty sure you can. If not then I'm just crazy lol.

My Safestrap isný working properly, when I make the slot-1 it shows, :
E: Unable to mount '/systemorig'
Then When I wipe same thing, even that I boot in it
Worst thing....it tells me everything is done, I flash the rom and of course then...never starts....
And wich Rom could you finally use? My Phone is : S4 Active SGH-i537 from At&T Unlocked and rooted.
Android 4.4.2

Thanks!!

You need to use the Stock slot. Any other slot causes errors on most roms, and how do you have two bootloader versions? I'm thinking that MF1 is your BL and NE3 is baseband or something.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app

Do not use Safestrap...you have an unlocked bootloader and have no need for it.
It will not work well with an unlocked phone like you have as the recovery is designed for locked US based carriers.

I think he means that he's SIM unlocked. I'm not sure they have an unlocked BL for the Active. If they do, then he should go ahead and use TWRP or CWM.
