Samsung Note n9005 AUSTRALIAN Help

Help i have a Australian SM-N9005 and i rooted fine and flashed the Omega rom which worked perfectly. I decided to some of the other roms out there and after flashing ROM][XXBUMI7][V1.1][8/10][N9005] K.I.D.1412| Fast|Clean|Stable|battery life| now my phone just boot loops after intial Samsung Note 3 logo. I can get into CWM still and Odin Mode and have tried flashing Kernel, Recovery etc etc and also a few other roms with the same boot loop. Anyone know what would be going on?

If that was happening to me. I would take out my Sd card and go into cwm wipe all! Then flash over stock with Odin

I ended up getting a swap over as the Aussie XSA Firmware not out yet. I'm not rooting mine again until more roms released and Aussies be careful flashing the roms already released

I recently upgraded my Optus contract and picked up the note 3. It has Optus branding. Once the Australian XSA firmware is released am I able to flash over the Optus firmware via odin like we used to do with previous Samsung devices or am I going to trigger knox? I'm not fussed about root for now, I just don't want the Optus crap.

Hey guys,
Any updates on if we can flash the sea firmware over the top via Odin?

There is one called SM-N9005 Australia 2013 October 4.3 N9005XXUBMI7 N9005XSABMI1
from sammobile.com
does it work?
I dont dare to flash yet... cos I dont want to lose my 2+1 years warranty.

Knox and Region Lock better play safe, who knows after flash firmware from different region Our phone will become one of region locked phone.
-I wait for Devs figure out the way to disable Knox counter flag.

I tried to flash this on my n9005 from Kogan (Phone come from Hong Kong) & it kept failing in odin right at the end.
I eventually had to do a firmware recovery with Kies to get it working again

I downloaded that from sammobile.com last night, I don't want to flash until I know it wont trigger knox. I've got 2 more years on this contract so warranty is important right now lol.

Not sure but could be that your phone is region locked to Hong Kong and you're flashing firmware from another region? But then again I remember reading someone downloaded Unknown - XSI from sammobile and flashed it without having problems and it supposedly didn't trigger knox not sure what firmware he was on though.

If it's region locked it says so on the box

Didn't know that cause I didn't have that sticker on my note 3 box. Thanks for the info.

My N3 is also from Kogan. I suspect mine was activated in Hong Kong before being shipped to me even though the OLB region is not meant to have Region Lock enabled. I had written to Kogan before buying the phone enquiring on the Region Lock of the devices they ship. I guess they activated the phone in Hong Kong just to be safe.
Looking forward to rooting and loading Omega ROM but until the process is a little more mature, I'm holding off.
Great to see so many people working hard on this device.

I have an Optus N3. Flashed another stock firmware over the optus one before flashing Omega Rom. Works beautifully. Cant wait for kernels to come out so i can play with it more (undervolting, etc).
Love the Xposed installer with modules.

Hi,
I also am worried to flash anything at the moment.
Does that XSA Firmware (I'm assuming that means open, like directly from Samsung AUS...?) trigger KNOX counter? Its official firmware, I'd assume not, just wanted to see what others say or have had happen...
Do you guys think its better to wait till carrier updates to 4.4.2, so bootloader and everything gets done officially. then root and flash 4.4.2 roms?
Or I can just flash the Polish (or other NA7) 4.4.2 (NA7) and just go from there? Dam, I'm not sure yet...if anyone shed some light on this that would be great!!
Thanks advance guys!!

You can flash any Stock Samsung rom without triggering Knox however, due to a new bootloader in the Kitkat rom once you flash it you can't go back to the Aussie JB rom...
You should be able to go to the Aussie KK rom when it comes out but until then you are stuck using other country roms and modems....
I had the Polish NA7 rom installed and it worked OK however my phone was rooted so I didn't have some of the problems others have reported - apps unable to access/write to internal/external sd cards...
Since then I went to custom roms, much better...

Oh ok I see. Thanks for your reply.
So what do you recommend? Can't I flash the polish to get my boot loader updated then flash a custom kit kat rom? Then when an Australian one comes out flash stock again then root again? Is that possible?
I've never had this problem where I've been faced with how I can't "go back" Haha.
Thanks again.

Anyone know where i can get stock aus firmware higher than;
N9005XXUBMI7_N9005XSABMI1_XSA
Was preloaded JB 4.3 i forgot to save backup before i flashed.
I went to a KK 4.4 CM ROM straight out of the box.
I decided i wanted to revert to stock and play with the touchwiz features.
Strangely i flashed via odin the wrong firmware.
Pretty sure it was this one;
N9005XXUDML3_N9005IDEDML4_IDE
Which ended up being polish JB 4.3 (Orange)
And it worked.
=\
Forgetting my confusion about reverting from KK to JB,
After downloading aus firmware from sammobile,
Both the retail and telstra are failing with this message;
W REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 2 . Binary : 1
Checked the forums but only found threads relevant to SGSIV.
Something about new OTA update blocking root.
Any help?
Oh and if possible id prefer stock retail to telstra branded.
Cheers.
Edit ; sorted, found them, Sammobile just takes abit of navigating.

[Q][I9500] How can i upgrade my android version ?

Hi all,
Myself new into S4 forum. I bought one second hand (previously used) Galaxy S4 I9500. When i got the phone, it's having the SuperSU app installed on it. So i hope its having root access. For confirming root access i installed root browser and checked whether i can see the system files. I confirmed :highfive:
So my phone is rooted. Isn't right guys ? (i previously owned sony phone, so am making all my doubts clear)
Then i asked in noob's QA section for checking boot-loader status and i found my system status as following in the download mode.
CURRENT-BINARY : Custom
SYSTEM STATUS : Custom.
This means my phone has unlocked boot-loader . I just want to confirm whether i am right or not, thats why i am writing all these
I tried to update via Phone, it says my Phone has been modified. There is NO updates. :crying:
And about the recovery,i found the Android System Recovery in there. (Probably Not a custom Recovery)
My Current phone Status is

The build shows I9500UBUBMG1: means some foreign region(Uruguay) update and i am from INDIA, Is it weird ?
So coming to my actual topic question, (there is a lot of questions )
1.How can i update to latest version with my current system?
2.What is MODEM and Knox mean ? (just a short answer)
3.Is it possible to update my phone to any region update ?
4. If i need to install custom ROM's, how can i do that ? ((Suggest Recoveries if any))
5. Can i go back to original official system(no root and no custom recovery), i mean remain in warranty ?
Seeking for Solutions eagerly, i hope someone will help me out.
FAQ threads are making me mad. Once i get a basic idea, i'll catch up.
Regards
Ajith

its obvious it's been 'messed' with same **** happend to me when i got a 'NEW' s4 i checked it out and it said custom this and custom that also has super user installed on it.... (i was fuming and kicked off on the guy) he thought he can get a sale lol

1. Download Odin and download the lastest firmware in your region
2. Not sure Google it but be specific on what kind of modem is it a router of a program its used etc
3. Yes but I'd advise not to as your WiFi or something else may not work etc.. but you can give it ago if you wish
4. Download the latest Odin and Google your build or ask on here and they'll point you to the correct firmware, also watch a few Youtube video on how to use Odin its quite easy.
5. I'm guessing you can as I've done it to mine just delete any traces of it being rooted such as old folders etc...

Hi ! Si for respond to you Yes you can do the update ! And the best i suggest you is to installed a custom rom ans to prêter if you prêter Touchwizz (Samsung's Android version for make it simple).
Yes you can go back to official statut useful if One day you have to go back to S.A.V etc You will have juste to use Triangle away it s an application for supress the foot etc.
Or simple flash a stock rom (official firmwire from Samsung).
No on Samsung phones the bootloader are ALWAY unlocked contrary to Sony LG etc it s also for that that it s Very easy to pût them in custom.
I suggest you the Échos rom the best based on Touchwizz.It had ben updated recently to Android 4.3 with la test modem (MJ5).
Seek for the mos récent version of Your MoDem for Your country (the 2 lettres after the 9500??/9505??).
Download Odin for beginning ans make sûre that Kies us completely desactivated ! Make all drivers installer Aldo (the ones for Your s4 meaning).

It does work. You have to use the search tool on the right side to search inside the thread.... people have used it on at&t phones. You need to be on 4.2.2 though.
If you are wary of this then pay for an unlock code

Bell doesn't have a 4.2.2 firmware for their S4 model (SGH-I337M). They were released with 4.3.

So there is no current method developed to unlock a Bell, Rogers,Telus, Virgin and Koodo 4.3 SGH-I337M S4.
Am I correct XDA ?

Kingo Root does. I used it on my Canadian model, which is an i377m btw, i377 is US model. Just download kingo root app, install to pc, attach the usb and click root. Be sure to allow any pop ups on device, and do NOT allow it to use the cfautoroot method (or odin mode), as that will trip knox. If it gets that far, just close out and run it again. I've had a few handsets take 2 attemps. You can install any custom recovery you want, and run any rom for i377m or international variant of the s4, just keep in mind flashing a custom recovery will trip knox. Kingo root itself, does NOT trip knox, mine is intact. i377m is a candian variant with an unlocked bootloader, i377 is the US version with a locked bootloader. Very different. mentioned due to you saying another method doesn't work on i377. well no, it doesn't, but if you're asking about a Canadian model, it's an i377m, and it will work.
I run 4.3 stock touchwiz, rooted, with wanam to fake official status, nova prime for the kitakat themed stuff.

Sammobile has the 4.2 firmware for the Bell I337m (Canada (Bell Mobile) 2013 July 4.2.2 I337MVLUAMG1 I337MOYAAMG1).
My guess is the hidden menu unlock procedure will work after you flash that firmware. Alternatively if you can locate and flash just the MG1 modem it should give you access to the hidden menu. You can then reflash your current modem.

So it seems i337m doesn't downgrade on 4.3. Is there a way I can flash the modem to get access to the menu ?

It appears the Canadian models also have locked bootloaders which prevent you from downgrading the entire firmware.
I saw the MG1 4.2 modem in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667
Once you flash that it should give you access to the hidden menu. You can then re-flash the MK6 modem after you unlock (also in the above thread).

Canadian models do not have locked bootloaders. even knox doesnt lock it. which is why we can run custom recoveries and kernels. will trip knox, but it is *not* locked bootloader. I337m = unlocked

[Q] No wifi / sound / calling after Odin recovery

Hi guys, Thanks in advance for any assistance you could give me.
im in quite a jam and i cant seem to figure it out on my own through searches so ive decided to ask for a bit of help.
-Ive screwed up my phone and ended up deciding to recover through Odin using: I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC
-Recovery seemed to work. upon further inspection my wifi, sound, and calling wernt working. Ive tried a software update but it made the phone almost unusable (constantly crashed and freezing)
-I again recovered through odin using I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC but my wifi, sound, and calling still arent working.
Im just trying to get back to a working phone, any help would be greatly appreciated.
While booting my phone displays the message:
kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit kernel fix
Searches say that this isnt a serious issue but it might be part of the problem.
In Odin ive only plugged I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC into the PDA field. Is there anything i could put into the Bootloader, Phone, or PIT field that could help?

Hi guys, Thanks in advance for any assistance you could give me.
im in quite a jam and i cant seem to figure it out on my own through searches so ive decided to ask for a bit of help.
-Ive screwed up my phone and ended up deciding to recover through Odin using: I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC
-Recovery seemed to work. upon further inspection my wifi, sound, and calling wernt working. Ive tried a software update but it made the phone almost unusable (constantly crashed and freezing)
-I again recovered through odin using I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC but my wifi, sound, and calling still arent working.
Im just trying to get back to a working phone, any help would be greatly appreciated.
While booting my phone displays the message:
kernel is not seandroid enforcing

Are you trying to put a stock rom back onto your phone? Cause if you are, you might be using the wrong rom....
Considering it is a SGH-I337m and with Rogers (same model and stuff as mine), you should be finding a stock rom of I337MVLUEMK6. If you are trying to install the wrong rom, you might be getting your problems from that...
OT: Also, have you rooted your SCH-I337m? Im just wondering because I want to root mine, but I don't know if there are any carrier problems like not calling or texting, etc after rooting...

That is the Roger's Stock Rom, and its for the I337m, which is the canadian version. I have the same phone, so that should work, even though I haven't tested it yet.

So this is what happened. I updated my phone, samsung galaxy s4 i337m with rogers to 4.4 kitkat. I hated the update, i also hated 4.3 on my previous s4 before it broke. Anyway, i wanted to go back to 4.2.2 so i downloaded odin3v185 and folling the directions on this site from a different thread i flashed my phone with a download from this website galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
what happened is that my phone would not boot up past the blinking samsung logo. i went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. hooray it was back at 4.2! however i lost all sound, my phone app freezes and doesnt work and i do not have wifi. this seems to be a common problem, but there have not been any applicable solutions.
i also get the error message kernal is not seandroid enforcing set warrenty bit: kernal
i just want to know the right website to get an unbroken file to download to get 4.2 back with no problems
please help

made it worse?

[Q] Flashing a SM-G900AZ Galaxy S5 from Cricket Wireless

Can it be done? I want to flash to Samsung stock firmware so that tethering back in the phone's firmware. I rooted the phone with Towel Root successfully.
If this can be done, what firmware works? Any custom ROMS available that work and have been tested on this model? I am currently downloading SM-G900AZ_NA_KK_Opensource.zip from Opensource.samsung.com. Is this a stock firmware or just source code? Otherwise, would the AT&T stock firmware work from the GalaxyS5Root website?

Same question...

I have the same phone and have been on the hunt for months now for a rom for this phone. I did read somewhere that the at&t and the cricket rom are one in the same, just cricked rebranded it and changed a few letters at the end of the model number. I did give that at&t rom a shot but didn't get far. I was able to install Safestrap 3.75 (TWRP v2.7.1.0) Recovery and do a back up of my current stock rom, rooted the same way you did yours, and wiped my system and tried pushing that at&t rom on the s5 but it failed. I did a restore and everything was back to normal 100%. So, this is a working recovery but I haven't found that magical cricket rom yet. I'm in the same boat with the tethering thing and it sucks... It's also my understanding that cricket is now at&t just rebranded so the at&t rom should work but i'm not sure.

Update:
I tried installing cm11 that is supposed to be able to be installed on all s5's and it failed out saying this rom is not for "klteaio" and it gave a read out for the one's it is for and the names were similar like "klteuh" "kltetew" "kitewvd" those are just examples cause i don't remember the names but i do remember them being in the structure of "K LTE AIO" K probably for kitkat and LTE for the s5 band and the AIO is probably the identifier cause the aio was the only difference in the name. I'm looking into adding the klteaio string into the cm11 zip file somewhere.

any luck in getting a custom rom for the cricket s5?:laugh:

no luck...
Nothing yet...

Hey guys any ROM for att s5 will work on our phone as long as its tw-based. I'm almost positive our boot loader is locked(would love to find out otherwise) so any custom kernel or aosp-based ROM will NOT work..
I am running dynamic Kat v4.0,the Dev just put it out yesterday and it has a appealing theme as well as tons of customization options, probably the next best thing behind actual aosp. Find the ROM in the regular development section of the att s5 subforum.

Make sure you flash it on the stock ROM slot, and re-wipe cache&dalvik after flashing the ROM+GPE theme (you'll find it in the thread)

Have you tried installing this APK?
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Also where did you get towelroot that works? From here https://towelroot.com/ ?

I'm answering my own question for other cricket S5 users:
Towelroot works.
I have not tried any custom roms I doubt any will work but on my older S4 the Golden eye room made it so much faster so I'm hoping someone can confirm that works.
Still not able to get tether. I have installed X Tether module under Xposed but no luck. There is no tethering to enable.
Installed Greenify and hybernated several apps now its much faster.

Not sure which part was "misinformation".
I still cant tether on the Cricket ROM. I am not interested in other ROMs. I just want to find the darn shortcut to the tethering module in the stock ROM. I have a feeling Cricket only removed the shortcut from the settings menu, not the entire module from the ROM.
I even tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152
but it didn't work, it says it failed to execute command.

Has anyone tried flashing stock Cricket firmware onto a stock Att branded S5? I'm about to tinker with my ladies S5 since she upgraded to the S6. I would think it can be done since its possible to flash Metro PCS onto a Tmo phone. Thoughts?

If you just install the latest official cricket rom, (lollipop/released a few weeks ago) the tethering feature is built in /enabled by default, just go into settings and turn it on.

sent from my sm-g900az (cricket) using CRAPatalk

Bought SM-G900AZ with latest lollipop cricket rom, want downgrade (to 4.4.2) for rooting.
Trying with Odin official 4.4.2 rom from Sammobile. Got error fused 2 binary 1.
Any help appreciated.

So, like an idiot, I updated to the latest OG3 lollipop on my G900AZ, thinking that I could still root. And I thought I had read everything pertaining to this. Towelroot did not work for the update. Anyone know of a way to root lollipop OG3? or is there a way to downgrade back to what I had with Odin, which was KitKat NK2? Any help would be awesome!
UPDATE: I followed the instructions in this post to get root on OG3

I'm not sure because I'm running AllianceRom v10 which I believe is TouchWiz. I'm somewhat of a moderate noob here. How would I find out if the bootloader is unlocked?

Unlocked bootloader allows you to flash custom ROMs, including those with different kernels. I ended up flashing BOG3 out of desperation to recover my device, so I confirmed/answered my own question. As of BOG3, the Cricket S5 (SM-G900AZ) is still bootloader-unlocked.

Have you already flashed any custom ROMs for BOG3 on this phone? If so, which one do you think is the best and most stable? I might consider trying one if there aren't any major bugs.
