Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for Note 3.

Method 1
Download KDZ: HERE
LG Driver: HERE
LG Flash Tool: HERE
1. Download Mode
You must switch off the device to start the process.
Then press and hold the “Volume Up” and connect the USB cable from phone to PC.
Use the original USB cable. Because, other device’s cable may not be detected in the Computer. So, only we recommend it to use the original one that you got it when you bought the phone.
Wait for the driver installation on PC.
Then you will get the download mode screen in your phone.
That’s it.
You can return to the normal mode by press and hold power button.
Don’t unplug the cable while the update process is running. Because, it will damage your phone.
2. Downgrade using KDZ Method: HERE
3. Root (PurpleDrake): HERE
4. BUMP:
Download TWRP 2.8.4.0: HERE
Flash it with Flashify : Tutorial
5. You are ready for CM12!
CM12: HERE
GApps: HERE
[Optional] SuperSU: HERE
Method 2 (thanks to ziggyboy)
If you want to do this really quickly, copy the following APK's before you flash the KK ROM to your SD card:
Stump
SuperSU
Flashify
TWRP
Latest CM12
GApps for LP
This saves you from having to download or copy the APK within the process.
Here's a detailed guide:
Copy the APK's listed above to your SD card.
Flash 10A-10D using the guide linked by the OP.
When setting up KK, just skip everything. No need to connect to wifi, 3G, or your PC.
Install the Stump APK from your SD card. Run it to root your device. You'll likely reboot.
Install the SuperSU APK from your SD card.
Install the Flashify APK from your SD card. Run it to flash TWRP. Make sure you select the 'recovery image 'option.
The installation process should reboot you to TWRP.
In TWRP: Wipe then flash CM12 and GApps.
Reboot and set up CM12!!
Does SuperSU not included in the CM12 official ROM ? I remember that it's embedded inside the ROM.
I flashed SuperSU because probably Superuser app isn't present as I think it got merged with Privacy Guard together but I can assure you an applet when an app requests SU permission is present but first you have to activate it in developers option. I think you can skip flashing it.

Howcome I often see the 16 GB version of EUR and not the 32 GB?
I've got a 32GB version of EUR. Maybe because in europe 32gb version is lot more expensive of 16gb.

Yea, you're right. I put the links of all the guides i'd followed so I'm 100% sure that's working. Thank you for the update.
I've got a slightly easier method (IMO) of doing this. Here's a summary. Detailed steps later on.
Flash an earlier ROM, preferably 10A-10D. Don't forget to wipe.
Use Stump to root (it's so much quicker and you can do it from your phone). See http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
Install Flashify and use it to flash TWRP.
Reboot to TWRP, wipe and flash CM12 + GApps.
If you want to do this really quickly, copy the following APK's before you flash the KK ROM to your SD card:
Stump
SuperSU
Flashify
TWRP
Latest CM12
GApps for LP
This saves you from having to download or copy the APK within the process.

Reboot and set up CM12!!
I live in Spain, I guess this is the correct firmware for me, right?: 42 6UA/EUROPE COMMON_16G V10A
Hi GFXi0N, it's not important where the kdz was released. Flash any KK KDZ (in your case all 16GB version KDZ) then root and bump it.
Thanks Ziggyboy for the guide. Yea is slightly easier, I will update the thread and add yours
Awesome guide, thanks to both of ya (OP and the super-quick guide) =)

Full Wipe/Clean Flash/Clean Install [same].
When you change from one ROM type to another [from KK to Lollipop or even from the same variant but from different Developers/types of ROMS] always do the above term mentioned.
In TWRP go to wipe>advanced wipe. Then mark Cache, Dalvik Cache, Data and System.
Wipe.
Flash the ROM [don't reboot].
Flash Gapps.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache after Gapps [recommended].
Reboot and enjoy!
This is what I do and never have a problem.
is it possible to flash a normal 5.0 rom ? i don't like the CM12
What do you mean by "normal" 5.0 ROM?
If you mean something like the Nexus 6 ROM the answer is no. CM12 is probably the closest you'll get to pure Android Lollipop.
Fck miekroesoft
I been googling whole day and I cant find even one guide for Linux. I would love to downgrade my lg g3 d855 to kitkat and then upgrade to lollipop 5.1.1 but I DON'T want to install freaking windows to do it.
I successfully flashed CM11 on to my LG G Pad 8.3 without issue so I've done this before (but most of the downloads had Batch files to automate things) but want to still be sure of the procedure.
My I9505 was recently upgraded OTA to Android 5.0.1 along with Samsung's TouchWiz. Hopefully this won't complicate matters.
Is this the best/recommended procedure? -
Root: What's the best/recommended method to Root my S4?
Backup Stock Recovery: Using Flashify on Google Play.
Install Recovery: Is TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 the best Recovery to use?
The Optimized CM12.1 thread recommends TWRP 2.8.7.0 but the download doesn't contain a batch file to run?
Reboot to TWRP --> Backup my existing ROM image then choose the Wipe option
Install the Optimized CM12.1 ROM then GAPPS from SD Card
Related questions about the Optimized CM12.1 ROM and GAPPS please:
Wouldn't a regular CM12.1 Nightly for the I9505 be better than the Optimized CM12.1 ROM? The Optimized CM12.1 ROM looks to be older (2015-06-16), or am I splitting hairs over a few days? Thanks
The Optimized CM12.1 thread offers a link to download GAPPS for Lolilpop 5.1. Is this better to use than the one in the GAPPS for Lollipop 5.1 here (ARM download): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Is the TWRP Manager on Google Play the best/recommended way to install TWRP 2.8.7.0? -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
Thanks again.
Regarding your steps...
1, 2: Cyanogenmod is pre-rooted, and the stock recovery images are readily available, thus these steps waste time.
3. Yes.
4. Yes. You'll use Odin to flash the recovery, thus no batch file.
5, 6: Yes.
As to your other questions...
1. You need to decide which you want more. Is having a more current build more important than the optimizations? Regardless of the final choice both install in essentially the same fashion.
2. The GApps in the thread is more up-to-date than the official download.
Finally, TWRP Manager stopped working properly some time ago and really isn't necessary. Download the image from the Optimized CM12.1 thread and install it using Odin.

Firstly thanks for the detailed reply.
I remember that from installing CM on my tablet but presumably you still need to Root the S4 to be able to install CM?

A few more questions please:
1. So when you run Odin it will ask for the location of the TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 folder?
2. Is this the best place to get Odin? - http://odindownload.com/
3. That link says I need "ADB & FASTBOOT TOOLS", where do I get these for the S4?

2. The GApps in the thread is more up-to-date than the official download.

Oh great thanks. I noticed it was a smaller download. Is there much missing from it over the official one?
Thanks again Strephon.
1, 2: No. You only need to flash the recovery through Odin to be able to install Cyanogenmod.
2. I believe the apps that all can be downloaded from the Play Store are missing, which is a good thing.
4: You need to input the location of TWRP on your hard drive. Search on XDA for the most current version of Odin (3.10.6) and ignore that site's comment about ADB & Fastboot Tools. Simply download Samsung's drivers off their website and install them. As an alternative, you can install Kies, but make sure Kies isn't running when you run Odin.

Great. Thanks for the further help. I'm nearly there, just a few more questions please:
Do I need to enable USB Debugging?
Running Odin and it's unclear what to do next? I presume these instructions under "Odin Install Method (No Root Required)" are correct? - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys4internationalqualcomm.html
Those instructions say to press the PDA button, there is no PDA button. Do I press the AP button instead?
In Odin options is it safe to leave "F. Reset Time ticked"? It looks like it is.
The TWRP 2.8.7.0 in the Optimized CM12.1 thread only offers a ZIP file and the link here only offers an IMG file: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/. But it looks like Odin needs a TAR file. Any ideas?
I presume this (Micro) GAPPS is as good to install as the GAPPS link in the Optimized CM12.1 thread (it's newer, just want to be sure it's compatible)? - http://opengapps.org/
Finally, is it a good idea/recommended to convert to F2FS?
Googling and it's unclear if I want "F. Reset Time" ticked or I should be converting to "F2FS", so I thought I should be sure first. Great I already have Kies installed.
Thanks again. I'm pretty close to installing CM12.1 now.
It won't hurt, but in download mode it shouldn't be needed.
Yes.
The instructions assumed an older version of Odin. Press the AP button.
If Odin fires up with it enabled by default, I'd leave it as is.
Grab the 2.8.7.0 TAR from https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/ and install it through Odin. Afterward, you can change over to the F2FS-compatible version using the upgrade instructions given on the twrp.me install page.
It should be compatible, but you may have better luck using the version in the thread.
F2FS is totally optional. I personally don't use it.
Thanks for the quick reply again. There is no 2.8.7.0 TAR file in that link, just a 2.8.6.0 TAR file .
* I presume I should install 2.8.6.0 TAR then install the 2.8.7.0 IMG file on top from inside TWRP?
* OR better yet install 2.8.6.0 TAR using Odin then install 2.8.7.0-F2FS ZIP from inside the TWRP 2.8.6.0 Recovery itself? I presume I use the same Install option I do to install CM2.1 itself?
I didn't look carefully at the page. Sorry. But yes, you can grab the 2.8.6.0.tar, install it, then install either of the 2.8.7.0 images afterward in TWRP.
Thanks Strephon Alkhalikoi. I finally got around to doing this last night and it went without a hitch. I got a pit error using Odin but a quick Google said to plug the USB cable direct into the PC.
I've read pretty much every source I can find on getting a custom ROM up on my LG G2, which I haven't even rooted in the past 2 and a half years. My warranty ran out a while back and I'm getting a bit bored with stock now, and I want to start flashing, but the last time I did this was with my old HTC Desire HD.
As you can see I'm on 20d on my LG G2. It's a Hong Kong version for some reason, lol. What I considered doing was the following: update to the latest Lollipop official ROM using the LG Flash Tool (it gives me an available update to 30d); root using the rooting app, install a recovery with AutoRec Lollipop, flash a thermal recovery from the installed recovery (very scared of my phone overheating, I'm even considering putting it on a large, fast-running fan while doing anything, read too much about the phone overheating and making the screen yellow); back up my phone's IMEI data; use the recovery to install a brand new (I'm hoping a Marshmallow) ROM. I also understood that I need to flash a bootstack to change my bootloader to a KitKat, because it can be "fooled" using the BUMP thing. Is that correct? Do I even have to update my phone to Lollipop in this case? Also, how likely is it to overheat while doing all of these procedures?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for the necroing my old thread, but I have yet to do anything with my phone. I am also still on KK. I saw that I can start rooting and install TWRP from it straight away. After that I need to flash a bootstack, right? How likely is it that I can brick myself? By that I mean what could get mixed up to get a brick while flashing. Also, has anyone had overheating issues while doing root, recovery installation and flashing things (newer TWRP, bootstacks, new ROM)?
Hi, i can understand your situation as i was in same till today, g2 with stock kitkat.
i finally installed cm13 after rooting it and the phone feels fresh.
you have understood most things right and ready now.
you dont need to upgrade to lollipop if youdont want to, you can start from kitkat itself.
few things i can tell you to begin here,
Root your G2,
for kitkat i found few good methods. Either do it via ioRoot using pc. or you can use towelroot or kingoroot apps to do it from phone itself. I used kingoroot since i didnt have a system with me. You can find these apps by searching at google, jst tyoe kingoroot. At first i was skeptical but it worked nice.
after root, you download autorec app, this is to install a custom recovery(twrp) for kitkat. you just have to install the app and run it and press install recovery/twrp and it'll do the rest.
after you have twrp installed, you need to upgrade it to latest version. For that download blastgator's twrp for your model and flash it through your recovery.
oh and dont forget to learn, how to enter into recovery yourself, since each G2 model has different method.
once you have these things you can start flahing roms. Most of the instructions on how to flash certain rom with what bootloader and bootstack etc. is written in its own thread, so you can learn that from that rom's thread that you will flash.
but basically, you need kk bootloader and lp bootstack for cm13 and above. usually both these things come in one zip. (if not you check for hybrid bootstacks)
Just make sure you are downloading things For your Model, if you try to flash different models stuff into yours, itll brick.
The autorec app, blastgator's twrp and ioroot can be found in a sticky thread in G2 general section, along with many other files and guides in that thread, theres complete index in that thread of all thing for all g2 models .
here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/05-10-index-guides-fixes-roots-t3218178
also usually the phone doesnt heat up while flashing, just make sure your battery is more than 80% before you start and itll be ok. Even if it does a little, after a custom rom itll be fixed. I suggest you try cm13 for starters as your first custom rom.
hope this helps you :good:
Good Luck ::highfive:
Thank you very much, appreciate the vote of confidence, lol.
I've actually considered installing Resurrection Remix Marshmallow. In the thread they point to the hybrid bootstack I need to install. I am on a D802 phone, so I'll be downloading that boostack. Anything I should really know before flashing that particular stack, except that I need to run the latest recovery from blastagator? Can I boot back into my old stock KK installation before putting the new ROM and Gapps on my phone and wiping + flashing, or will the phone not be able to boot that old firmware with the new bootstack? Theoretically, can the phone still get bricked even if I'm using the latest recovery + the proper bootstack? I've read that the CM13 devs don't recommend flashing bootstacks but instead using the kdz flashing method to flash the latest Lollipop release...

to upgrade from kitkat you need lp or hybrid bootstacks. they have images (. img files) that are needed for your phone to function properly., like aboot, modem, radios etc. Hybrid bootstack contains aboot from kk and everyhing else from Lp. So when youll flash a bootstack, youll need to wipe everything, except internal storage(or external if you have one) , before you can flash it. that wipe will include, cache, dalvik cache, system, data. so basically all the old system stuff will be gone before you can flash this bootstack. i hope after reading that youll know that you cant access your old kk installation since itll be wiped, therell be nothing to boot to. if youll try, it will give you errors on lg logo.
understand it like this, to install new 21 inches tyres to your car, you need to upgrade the rims to hold a 21 inch tyre right? what will happen if you just put the 21' tyres on old 15' rim or old 15' tyres on new 21' rims?
the cm 13 devs dont recommend you to flash bootstacks because most of the models took the official lollipop update, which put everything in their phone to lolipop level. since there is no official marshmallow(MM) bootstack for our phone (because no official update), everyone developed ways to utilize lollipop bootstack to function on a custom MM Rom. Since most models are already on lollipop, theres no need to flash lollipop bootstack while flashing custom rom. That step is mostly for those who are still on stock or custom kitkat based rom. So they say to get official lollipop through kdz method, instead of flashing Lp bootstack before gettig their rom. But remember if a rom developer asks to install a bootstack for their rom, you should consider it if you dont have much knowledge about it, cause if you dont follow instructions, you can soft brick, in that case youll need hybrid bootstack.
see if you are using everyhing proper for your phone then your phone wont brick. only thing that can go wrong with that condition is your execution, your steps. As long as you dont make a mistake in these steps everything will go fine.
ill explain it what you should do.
1. first root your phone.
2. when done rooting, install "root checker" from google play. itll confirm if you have root or not.
3.Then you come back here and find autorec app from the link i gave you in my previous reply. download that, install the autorec app. and follow on screen instructions and itll install twrp recovery for you.
4. then come back here again, and find blastgator's twrp, from the same link in previous post. itll be the one whih says "twrp with f2fs". download it and remember where you put it.
5. turn off phone, boot into recovery (i hope you've learned by now how to get into recovery of your g2 model). Now youll be in recovery, hit install button there and find where you put that file, flash it, then reboot recovery, youll have new recovery after that. then you reboot into system.
now upto this point, you can play along in your kk, have fun with features, say last goodbyes and all lol. Because everything stock kk related will be gone, past this point, including all the apps you have installed.
[IMPORTANT] : after rooting and installing recovery, get bootstack zip, rom zip and gapps zip files downloaded and placed together in a folder on your phone, before you start with flashing bootstack. Because you wont be able to boot back into system after flashing just bootstack.
now you prepare for MM, boot into recovery, now since you are in kk, you need to install LP bootstack, and for that you need to wipe everything using your recovery's wipe feature.
6. in recovery, hit wipe, hit advanced, select cache, dalvik cache, system, data. [ Dont select internal storage otherwise all flashing files will be gone and youll be left with a brick.] and wipe.
7. Now hit the back button to go back to main recovery screen once wiping is finished. hit install, flash the bootstack zip.
8. now your phone has new bootloader but its still empty, like you got a body but no soul . so hit back button, hit install and flash the rom zip you downloaded.
9. now flash gApps same way.
10. once its done, just hit reboot system. no other steps needed.
11. be patient, first boot takes longer than normal boot.
12.enjoy MM :highfive:
you probably know these steps from all the reading but its for your reference, so you dont screw up at all and be safe from bricking.
you can get google apps from opengapps website. you need to get ARM-> 6.0 -> (your prefered ones) pico/nano/micro/etc.. pico has the least amount of gapps, all important ones are there in pico, then extra will increase as you go up from pico to stock. stock has all the gapps. size will also increase as you go up. so choose as you prefer.
now once you have a cm13 /MM based rom, you wont need to flash bootstacks for other roms from next time unless the developer instructs to do so.
good luck

cwm is clockworkmod, its a custom recovery. i think you meant CM 13, mm rom.
yes, the Cyanogenmod team have placed root access into the rom, so once youll be finished wih installing cm 13 rom, you can just go to settings, Tap build number repeatedly until a message will show "congrats you are a developer now". that'll open developer options in main setting screen Go into that and youll see root access. turn it on. youll have root.
you can check in root checker app to confirm root access for confirmation. you wont need super su app in any of these roms anymore.
your steps :
stock
1. root
2.autorec (for installing twrp on your phone) for kitkat its on forums, for lollipop its in google play. just get the one for your model, search for autorec in google play.
- blastgator's twrp requires you to have any version of twrp beforehand in order to install his version.
3. download and save blastgator's latest twrp, when youll go to download his twrp, itll be written there which one's is the latest version, just download that one and flash it through recovery.
4. Yes place all files in your phone, you can get gapps from opengapps.org/
select arm- 6.0- whatever size you like(, pico is lightest contains all essential gapps, stock contains every gapps)
5. wipe yes.
6. flash bootstack
7. flash rom
8. flash gapps
9. once gapps done, just hit reboot system.
10. enjoy
yes go for it when you have more than 80% battery, this is to ensure that all flashing steps go through without any issue, you dont want your phone to run out of juice while flashing rom do you that could cause soft bricks. so always keep battery more before flashing.
[IMPORTANT] : remember to read instructions of the rom you're installing and adjust the steps as instructed in there.
Goodluck :highfive:
Awesome, I forgot to.flash gapps prior to something I just did, not sure if it will cause increased global warming or thermonuclear war...update soon
@MarshisnotMellow
Gapps installed!! No Internet connection on the d800 and something sinister has happened to my unlocked WiFi Hotspot so I'll have to check for play store capabilities later!! Thanks for the help!!
I decided to go with the latest 29.10.2016 nightly of CM13 for my first run on this phone. Everything went through, no one died, lol. I'm going to start installing and restoring stuff now, get Xposed on, like I have on my TF701T tablet and trick out my phone's appearance. Just a note - after you install new bootstacks your phone's MAC address will change, so if you have a WiFi network with a MAC filter you might want to add your new address.
Hello everyone,
last night I was toying with my Note 3 (SM-N9005) European Edition and I succesfully rooted the phone and installed Super SU.
Super SU was upgraded automatically via TWPR.
Tried to Flash Darkwolf Note7 rom for Note3.
Installation starts, but once it begines I get an error about wrong footer and the progress bar stops.
So I went back, used Odin again, changed from TWRP to CWM tried to flash again the same Rom got verification of zip file failed.
Downloaded RessurectionRom with 6.0.1 for note 3, same issue.
Went back again, changed from CWM to TWRP once more, same issue.
Installation fails
Ultimately had to recover the ROM that I had backed up.
Not sure what the problem is?
Can someone help me?
Thank you in advance.
Read the roms OP a guess is you are using the wrong version of TWRP .
TWRP recovery recommended, 2.8.7.0. Newer versions are not supported
Ι don't think that the issue mate.
I downloaded exactly what I should have according to their site and the tutorial I follow.
Furthermore CWM has a dedicated CWM for note 9005 which again was unable to complete the installation.
So any other thoughts?
This is most likely due to the unsupported version of twrp you are using as darkwolf ported roms uses aroma/pico installer. Use below v3 like 2.8 you should be able to launch aroma installer.
REMEMBER TO FLASH A CUSTOM KERNEL OR IT WILL NOT BOOT ONCE YOU FINISH FLASHING THE DARKWOLF ROM AS DARKWOLF ROMS DONT HAVE ANY KERNEL INCLUDED.
I recommend using SKYNET GENESIS as your custom kernel. You will know how good it is after you install it:laugh:
I highly recommend you not to use note 7 darkwolf rom as your daily driver... features are really good but in actuall fact heats up like mad and drains battery very well
If there's still problems after trying my methods out please let me know i will give a full tutorial on how to install the DARKWOLF ROM on youtube
Cheers!
<<I recommend using SKYNET GENESIS as your custom kernel. You will know how good it is after you install it >>
That by the way is a closed thread by the mods on xda .
Hi guys, thank you for your replies.
But to b honest I am a bit of a novice. I just checked some tutorial videos and I though FUN let's sprush up the NOTE 3....
So I do not know how to proceed??
Let's see if I can help you with at least installing a CM12.1 on the n9005. Once you can successfully install CM12.1, you'll have a basic working knowledge of flashing.
Download the latest tar version of TWRP for the n9005 from here: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3internationalqualcomm.html
Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.133178914,d.amc
Download the latest cm12.1 for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte
Download the latest ARM version of gapps for the n9005 from here and save it to either a micro SD card which you will put into the phone or the phone's internal memory: http://opengapps.org/
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time.
Make sure CM12.1 and gapps are either on a micro SD card or the phone's internal memory. If CM12.1 and gapps are on a micro SD card, insert the card into the phone.
Put the phone into download mode, connect the phone to the computer, flash TWRP in the PDA slot. When you see the word "reset" in the status window remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination (home, volume up, power) to boot into recovery which should now be TWRP.
Once you are in TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, install CM12.1, install gapps, and reboot.
