1. Should I upgrade my note 3 to lollipop or marshmallow. I heard marshmallow isn't a good choice right now as there are allot of issues.
2. Got 4.3 rooted without knox triggered.
How can i upgrade the device to the update chosen above. Do i need to flash any kernel, boot loader, etc.
Thanks for the reply and apologies if it has been asked before.
Google
- upgrade note 3 to android 5.0

Hi !
Today I bought my Samsung Note 3. I've been reading this forum for a few days and I have a question.
I have heard of problems rooting/unlocking bootlodaer in some updates. My phone is MJ3 (i don't know if It's old or new)
and I don't plan on rooting my phone for few months but someday I will finally get tired of stock ROM. My question is- Does updating software gives any benefits (battery, RAM etc) and should I care about not being able to root without triggering KNOX? Or should I be calm that by the time I will finally decide to change something there will be possibilites to safely root/unlock bootloader?
Thank You very much !

Official Dev & un-Official Dev
both of them work and it means u will be able to root and unlock all firmwares (updates) after few days.
SO if u don't have plan for rooting now SO update it (setting > general > about > software update OR kies)
updates are official to make it more stable
for the latest update of firmwares u can also check http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
i m on MK1 and for this update samsung just mentioned stability
:good:
DUDE! Battery Life is TERRIBLE on newer upgrades, I have SM-N900 tho.. But i think it's about same for 9005. Enjoy ur phone on MJ3 till this thing is fixed. Afterall, nothing special has been added. I regret that i upgraded. Cheers!
Okay guys, thanks for the answer. As you suggested, I will stay with MJ3.

hello everyone! today I just got my Note 3 N900a. with 4.4.2 KK today.I would like to root but I don't really know where to start as I don't want to brick this device. my G Pro is rooted and custom flashed but this is my first time dealing with Knox. so I have a few questions before I dive in:
1. Will Kingo root my Note 3 and not trip knox or UVDLV work better?..what about CF-Autoroot?.I heard sammy caught on so it might not work..but I saw that it will work but still trip knox? i'm rather confused here.. My AP is N900AUCUCNC2.
2. IF I DO GET ROOT PRIVILEGES. I know that I can't flash a custom recovery and there is an ongoing bounty to unlock the bootloader. So is it safe to use safetrap and will it affect knox? Or will safestrap remove my Recovery? (On my old S4 I did the mistake of Goomanagering a recovery and wiped my stock recovery but It still worked fine haha..just couldn't update or it would go into ODIN loop..which I could get out of) I will probably want to flash a custom de-bloated KK TW ROM if I do get the chance. I used safestrap on my old Razr M but is it different now? I sound like a total idiot right now but before the Note 3 I pretty much am a confident android power user but what scares me is that while I was using my G Pro, my friend from work had a Note 3 and he bricked it and now he's stuck using his Note 2. I don't want to make a critical mistake. If a more experienced user could guide me and show me what my options are or what I have to work with I would love you forever! XD

Best answer I can give you is to check in HERE at the ATT Note 3 forum and ask, since this is the international forum for the N900/N9005 we have limited to no knowledge of other models.
oh schitt.....can someone delete this thread..my apologies
Hi,
By older devices we CAN'T Downgrade to older Ver. like from 5.0 to 4.4.4. (or 4.4.2 on S5)
So my Q is can I flash new custom rom base 5.0 TW and keep older Bootloader (or I have to flash new bootloader to use 5.0),
so I can downgreade safely to 4.4.4 or Know will prevent it too?
What about Downgrade on cm/aosp/aokp? (5.0/4.4.4/4.2.2 etc with older devices like S5)
Thank you!
So I recommend don't rush to update ver. 5.0.
For now We have to be with patience wait for reviews from other Users...
5.0 isnt out yet...
I can't see where is the 5.0!
Did you say NOTE4?
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
For S5 G900F 5.0 is out in Poland...
But, this Q are before the 5.0 it out for everone...and pepole will upgreat and get stuck with 5.0 Only
without the option to Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.4 .
Any reason to stay on 4.4.4 anyway? Can't see myself downgrading once I'm on Lollipop. Can't wait tbh.
How can anyone answer your question since there is no 5.0 firmware for the Note 4 available at the moment? We can only speculate that it will not possible to downgrade, but we can't know for sure. You're way ahead of yourself.

Rumours say the poppin' Lolli will make rooting more difficult than ever before. That's quite a good reason if it turns out to be true.

1. That's sadly true. The developer has said he is working on it but he was being very vague as to when or if it will be made available.
2. It's still early, the update has only been available for less than a day so I'd give it time.
3. The solution is to hold off updating until there are some detailed reviews and bug reports for the new firmware. Surely the forums will be flooded with posts in no time after the update.
4. There are problems with CF Root on the Note 4 even on 4.4.4, some people report random reboots. I can't really comment on the validity of the reports though, as I opted not to root.
All in all, just don't immediately update, wait and see.

Yes, What I recommend in the 1st post
Don't rush to update ver. 5.0.
For now We have to be with patience wait for reviews from other Users...
Thank you for your answers ! :good:
Update:[
O.K,
Some users can get Downgert for now on S5 G900F ONLY , but we can't know if samsung will block it in new Ver. of 5.0 and cause brick !!
For now in this 5.0 ON S5 900F ONLY from poland:
1.Backup everything
2.flashed it with stock ANG7 (one file).
3.After I flashed, I caught boot loop but then I entered to the stock recovery and did Wipe data/factory reset and reboot - that's all
Thank you @BaRTaSs88 for the info!

Hi everyone.
I received my Galaxy s4 yesterday the c9515L variant and it came with the 4.4.2 version of android. Using TowelRoot I rooted it and now is working fine , It constantly wants me to upgrade to the newest version (I guess 4.4.4) and I wonder if i'd loose the root and if the Knox would be activated once I try to do the root again.
Also I installed Xposed and some modules, did that trip the knox?
Also, Is there any ROM available that won't trip the knox to 0x01 and having more features thatn stock? I guess to install the Rom I'd need Recovery and thus tripping knox...
Sorry for asking so many questions but as you can see I'm new to the SGS4 comunity.
Thanks.
1. Do you mean GT-i9515L? coz C9515L doesn't exist...
2. The update isn't android 4.4.4 for sure.

First of all, my mistake, what I meant was I9515L.
And, If I currently have the 4.4.2 and it wants to make a system update in "your" opinion what would that be? 4.4.2.1?? No? I though so..... thats why I said 4.4.4.
Any information regarding my questions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Tale a look for example in Sammobile.com your updates and you will know something more of your device. It is likely that new models of Samsung using TW will update directly to android 5.0 Lollipop in early 2015 (but your device no maybe). Press "THANKS" button if the info helped you and Merry Xmas

İ can say that lollipop is the perfect but has one flaw.Battery life is shorter than kitkat.For example i can get nearly 6 hours screen open time(sot).After lollipop hardly 4 hours sot i can get.Beside that lollipop is smoothest version ever.Everything with animation and fast.If you install a rom with s6 or note 4apps your phone will fly.More stable and good looking apps also.
The answer is posted all over the forum .
Some say its poor but usually they lack experience .
Many of the custom roms are working fine not found battery any different but i don't count battery seconds .
However as you have N900 i would read the N900 posts first as the majority on here are N9005 .
