Ive been trying to upgrade my rooted I9505 to 4.3 without getting any of the knox bootloader.
I have installed I9505XXUEMK8-PRE-ROOTED-DeOdex-KNOXFree-SupeSlim-CWM.zip via TWRP but get really intermittent signal & data (no entry is on most the time).
I tried upgrading my modem via ODIN to I9505_XXUEMK8_MODEM.tar but after the reboot the modem is still MGA (tried several times once without the reboot option ticked)
I've also tried finding my CSC using *#1234# but every time it loads SuperSU and when i press back it just goes to Phone.
Any suggestions or past experiences welcome and greatly appreciated. I really wanna check out the hidden permissions control in 4.3

I have just done that but installed rom using Philz
Modem tar file must go into PHONE in Odin
Autoreboot must be unticked
Flash modem once
Reboot straight into download again
Flash modem again
Important modem must be flashed twice
That's worked thanks very muchly. Will now test for a few hours to make sure it solved the intermittent signal issue
to clarify for anyone else trying this:
1) boot to download mode
2) select modem as PHONE
3) untick auto-reboot
4) click start, wait for red text on phone to say END (ODIN will say RES OK!!)
5) hold power button to power off
6) boot straight back into Download mode
7) exit ODIN and reopen
8) follow steps 2 -> 5
9) boot back to android and check it worked
So I've been running a rooted Note 3 for a while. When the Note 3 Kitkat update came out, I updated it via Odin as OTA update was not available since I was rooted.
All the posts I read had mentioned that updating to 4.4.2 from 4.3 would erase all my data but after updating via odin all my data was in place. I had only lost root which I rooted again though CF Auto Root.
The problem now is that when I try to install CWM (via Odin) or TWRP (via Goo or Odin), it goes through the installation but then the phone goes into a boot loop of sorts..It's NOT the normal boot loop which gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
What happens is that the phone vibrates twice (with a 1 sec interval in between), then the Samsung Note 3 N-9005 screen appears with "Booting Recovery..." on the top left and within a sec it goes blank and then back to 2 vibrates and the screen come on to show Samsung Note 3 N-9005.
The only way I found to fix this was a battery pull and then turning on the device holding the power, home and down vol key to boot into recovery and then flashing CF Auto Root again.
I don't know why am I not able to install any of these recoveries. I've made sure I try to install the latest versions of them which are Kitkat compatible.
Anyone else with this problem or a solution?
Can a Cache and data wipe fix this? But the problem again being I won't be able to backup my ROM since i can't get these recoveries to install!
There is a script in official firmware that checks for official recovery and if it finds a custom one it tries to overwrite with official one. If i remember correct it's called install-recovery. sh
PhilZ recovery handles it automatically.
It's impossibe to flash anything other than the leaked 4.4.2 stock because you flashed your bootloader to kitkat, no you MUST stay on sammy 4.4.2 till the devs found a solution for this. Thats why you have to read carefully be4 you flash.

No luck!
I tried PhilZ recovery from the below link.

This one seems to be the only one working with 4.4.2 right now.
Possible solution
The way I can suggest is to create a little update.zip file with little updater-script to remove install-recovery.sh file from device (just one line needed).
Ok, I found a zip which I am attaching below. You(or anyone) may review the script before flashing.
Place this on your external (or internal) sdcard.
In ODIN don't check Auto reboot
Flash Recovery. Remove phone when it says PASS.
Remove battery. Start in Recovery mode by pressing buttons.
You should now be in new Recovery.
Flash that zip file.
Reboot.
You should be good.
The Auto Reboot for some reason is faded out. Tried different versions of Odin and also tried to open it with the phone connected/disconnected.
I am out of ideas.
I would suggest you to wait for someone to come up with working solution. Being too adventurous with ODIN could brick your device.

Clear out all your ODIN caches etc, delete all files and keep 1.85.
Flash this (only working recovery on 4.4.2) via PDA in ODIN, If it doesn't reboot auto after saying PASS or RESET.. just turn phone off, reboot into recovery and it'll be fine.
EDIT: Just re-read, Re flash your Stock 4.4.2 (Use XEO not the leaked one!) and then start again
Thanks!
Maybe a little off topic, but is there a way to install CM11 on Stock 4.4.2 on the Note 3?
I've been reading Samsung is out with a new bootloader so there is no way round this?

You may have to do a little reading but I believe CM11 is now working on the KK bootloader...

so.... yeah i just updated my bootloader to 4.4.2 and this drove me literally insane. ive been working on it for 4 hours now. i encountered so many problems with installing the bootloader. exact same problem as SID8907. i gotta tell you tho.... you worked some magic my friend. i tried almost everything. then i came across your link. i was like why not? so i flashed the img in odin..... anddddd :drumroll pleaseeeeee:: IT WORKED. ahhh....... so much frustration and the problem is solved!!! thank you so much JP.26 :good::laugh:
is there any word on how to fix this been looking for hours tmobile note beast dont want to put any roots down on my phone before i find a way to flash cm or a non bloated note rom would be nice.
I'll that I've managed is to root and flash twrp I found a way to turn cwm recovery into a tar file and flash through odin. But i just get into a boot loop with cwm due to the boot loader I presume but tarp works fine I just can't flash cm11. I get boot loop every time
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
im sorry but im confused here... does this all simply mean that there is not yet a working cwm for 4.4.2 yet? and that while we can root, there is no working recovery for this version?
I'm not sure myself tarp works but I can't flash cm11

Phillz cwm Dev edition I think that's the name works its a themed touch cwm. This works great but still can't flash cm so gayyyy

I was wondering what happened to the cmw too.
The modded cmw by Chenglu is the only one working that I know of.

I did something stupid and flashed this Bootloader with odin on my Sprint GS5 US G900P. After the flash seemed to go ok it just re-boots and stays on the Sprint Logo. I can Vol up and down to get to recovery and Download mode but I'm not sure what I should be re-flashing to get my phone to boot up again?
Can someone help please?
I re-flashed my boot to NE5 Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NE5.tar from here here. Now it gets past the logos and starts to load but freezes the little google loading animation and then goes to screen black
try this
as you can enter download mode
just flash stock firmware
before boot phone go to recovery mode (after flash)
wipe all
wipe data factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot
Thanks for the suggestion AEkiz. I couldn't find a stock firmware. Links seemed to be dead around here and I couln't find it on the Samsung site.
However this has semi-worked for me:
I flashed 5.0 imgae SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.exe
Install seemed to work just fine.
Then I reinstalled my Backup of (Mystery build) 4.4.2
Installed Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_NK4.zip form the file All_Kernels_thru_OA6.zip via Odin
Then my device just booted!
But there are some issues:
1. My device still says it's running OA6 even though I flashed NK4. Oddly enough it WAS on NE5 in the first place but when I tried to flash and NE5 firmware it got stuck on the Google logo. now I'm just confused on all these Nxx versions.
2. My fingerprint scanner is now dead.
3. My camera has a bunch of funky artifacts so I can't really use it anymore.

Seek firmware for your phone in these sites SamMobile or Samsung Updates
Actually it was not known to me that my g901f was rooted. I just flashed it with NEE stock firmware lolipop, which eventually bricked the set.
I tried Smart Switch manual insertion of Model and S/N, but it says no database verification. So i tried again odin 3.09 to flash with various firmwares which results in zero.
Set is in white screen mode, upon pressing power+lower vol+home it enters in downloading mode. I flashed 4 files + PIT of jovilonas but to disappointment. One strange thing I experienced that during flashing it always struck at image.ext.4 and failed, but I selected the T Flash option then it completed successfully but after reboot it is same as if there was no flashing at all. Before bricked it was having KitKat 4.4.2 and upon Kies software update check it showed country KSA Product Code NHK7 (as i recall but not sure about Product Code accuracy but at last there was 7, but dead sure about KSA as Country).
Please help me with flashable firmware link and proper procedure. Grateful to you.
____________________________________
Memory 1: as i have come to realize that my G901F was not Stock Rom Flashed and then Reflash to Root that ROM. It was already a Rooted Firmware Mod. Cause simply rooted Stock ROM when executed as Factory Reset it removes Root (as some one told me during my quest to unbrick it). Now it is clear to me that before flashing with Stock ROM, i factory restored the set but there was nothing changed and the root was there. Only issue was that it asks for wifi password whenever it restarts rather than storing it once.
Memory 2: There was no KNOX counter while it was on KITKAT 4.4.2. Neither in the Device Info nor in the Downloading mode (power+vol down+home). It always shows, ODIN MODE

Hi,
I would appreciate assistance with my situation please.
My note 3 N900 was updated via Kies to its latest firmware (Android 5.1.1 if I'm correct). No rooting/installing/flashing of any rom or custom recovery had been done before this.
Following instructions. Using odin3 v3.10.6 I successfully flashed TWRP recovery (twrp-2.8.7.0-ha3g.img.tar from official site)
When trying to enter TWRP recovery holding volume up + home + power at the same time. A fallen android bot showed the message "no command"
I found a solution to over come that part. The solution I followed was to uncheck "auto root" in odin and after successfully flashing twrp recovery, remove the battery for about 5 or 10 seconds, re-insert the battery and boot into recovery.
It worked and I was in TWRP recovery.
I did a full wipe, cache/davlik/system/data etc (I have no files I wanted in the internal memory).
Then proceeded to install the custom rom from the external memory card (Dark-Au S6 V4 Final N900 from xda).
It said successfully installed, clicked reboot ... and it stayed stuck on the Samsung logo.
Re-did the whole process, this time after successfully installing the rom I did a cache/davlik wipe and rebooted ... still gets stuck on the logo.
Please help,
Thanks

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Since there are so many variants, I wonder if the ROM matches the phone.
At any rate, I am connecting this thread to the forum your device experts can be found:

Please note, to respond to replies, you will need to have an XDA account.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
