[Q] Note 3 Unusable after root & Note 4 ROM

Dear tweakers of XDA,
I've got a problem with my note 3. After i'd seen the thread for the Note 4 styled S5 Based ROM. I decided i wanted to give Rooting and flashing custom roms a try ( Havn't done it since my S2).
All went well and dandy, i rooted with CF Autoroot knowing my knox counter would trip to 0x1. I've installed CWM Recovery, downloaded the rom and installed it through the CWM Recovery. After install i saw that my wifi didnt work and my 3G Data didnt work which was strange because the regular calling functioned ? Also i installed AEL's newest kernel (because the thread says it wasnt included i had to flash it myself )
After not being able to fix this i'd decided to download ODIN and the correct firmware for my phone, Tmobile Netherlands N9005 TNL version 4.4.2
I flashed it back using ODIN and to my surprise the phone was extremely slow. Reacting really late 5-10-15 seconds later to the sleep/wake button. The lockscreen would also hang for about 30 seconds and the IMEI is unknown. Whenever i open the Phone app it gets stuck. Network doesn't work at all ofcourse because of the IMEI. I do have a backup of my EFS and i'm not too scared of anything. I just really want my note back the way it was
Could you kind people help me ?

if you have a efs back up, so restore it with the original firmware
I used to face the same problem, but i was not as lucky as you - i had no efs back up, and i have to use sptbox - e.g. my original Imei has gone :3
btw, did you face any sensors issues?

There is a efs recovery script in note 3 Android dev thread. Gold luck!

Galaxy Note 3 SM N-9005 Malaysia - Lollipop update

Hi everyone,
This is my first post and I hope that I am in the right section.
As per info in the thread title, I have a Malaysian Samsung Galaxy Note 3 updated to the last available firmware 4.4.2
I am trying to flash Lollipop with Odin (i followed all the instructions in the guide, literally step by step).
I have tried with the italian Lollipop update branded Vodafone, but Odin always failed and the phone was soft bricked.
I have reinstalled the original malaysian firmware 4.4.2 that i had prior this attempt. phone booted ok and worked perfectly fine.
Then i downloaded the lollipop firmware from poland, this thime odin completed the process and gives me a pass. but the phone goes in boot loop (samsung logo at booting never goes away). I have tried to reboot in recovery mode and wipe the cache. but still boot loop.
Would anyone be so kind to explain what i am doing wrong and how i could install lollipop on my malaysian galaxy note 3?
Any help would be much appreciated.

note 3 lolipop(Malaysia) N9005
Guys good news because this morning when I was checking my software update ... Thru Ota is about 860mb and thru keis 3 is about 1.3gb. Took me couple hours to download and about 1hour ++ to install. Booting up took some time and luckily everything is working fine for the time being.
Anyone updated and how's the battery draining issue.

i try update my note3 using kies3, it confirmed lollipop 5.0 available to update, but unfortunately my note3 repeatedly crash during upgrade and window on kies top up said "PC cant recognized my phone". Maybe cause of my knox warranty void 0x1 (trip). i hack on local C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Temp and get copy of *.zip files (N9005DXUGBOD1_N9005OLBGBOD1_HOME.zip). It was lollipop firmware version for malaysia. Upgrade it using Odin and succesfull installed.

Lolipop
I was having the same issue while updating thru keis. So I downloaded it thru OTA. Battery sucks after lolipop. If you are facing any issue just send me a mail

[Q] Looking for Stock 4.4.2 for AIO/CRICKET

I have searched everywhere with no luck. My I337Z was 4.4.2 (after OTA) working well, no root, no unlock. Suddenly IMEI and Baseband go null. So what I did first was to restore it to factory settings, which didnt work and also some native apps like Contacts stopped working (not opening). I tried to restore it through KIES, it put my phone in Emergency mode, no escape there...I then went to the Factory files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448794 which got my phone back to 4.2.2 and working...but still no Signal nor IMEI nor Baseband. I flashed MODEM and now it doesn't have any sound, wifi either....I went through KIES again and was able to catch the files it downloads when initializing the device, flash the System, MODEM and CSC, but same results and it is still on 4.2.2. Also when trying to flash Bootloader I get FAIL(Auth) code (I suppose because my BL is not unlocked)
My request:
I am thinking if someone can make a backup of System partition, I could put it into my phone as RESTORE through TWRP (not installed yet) I might be able to revive this device.
EDIT: I am looking build i337ztuubne2 since my bootloader is now ne2 because of the OTA
Suggestions are welcome!! Thanks!!!

KIES 2.6 or 3? You had to be root to get to TWRP. Did the Z model ship with 4.2? I would be surprised, but don't really know. try 3. Start in download mode. I use cricket as well but never a cricket device. I will be in our cricket retailer today, the guys are pretty much ignorant to anything more than activating but possibly one may have a Z/s4 we could pull a nandroid from. Doubtful.
Sounds like you need a warranty replacement. Lesson learned? Always backup EFS!

First, the phone came with 4.2.2, so I used the files that kies 2.6 downloaded (haven't tried with kies 3) but the phone had 4.4.2 when it started acting up. It was updated OTA. As of now, I am rooted with twrp installed, no issues there. Now, if you could extract a nandroid from one of them, would be great! I do want to be on KitKat and not JB. I can flash it through odin 4.2.2 with no WiFi, sound nor calls. I think because the baseband is for KitKat and not for JB

Bluetooth Issue since Bootloader/Modem update PDA G935FXXU5ESD2 and CSC G935FVFG5ESD3

Hello community,
I am asking your knowledge about a recent Bootloader Update.
Long story short : I was running my hero2lte on a rooted custom ROM for about 2 years and recently decided to upgrade to the latest android as the threads on this forum were showing good feedbacks.
I was on Android 8.0.0 with Baseband G935FXXU3ERHC . Everything was doing perfectly fine expect some little freezes mainly caused by Xposed Framework :cyclops:.
So One Day♪ baby w'will be old♬ I decided to jump in and install the Latest LineageOS 16 (that was early Augustus 2019)
The instructions on the thread ask to get the latest Bootloader and Modem. What I did from SamMobile. Here
I flashed those two files with Odin 3.13.3 and it PASSED flawlessly.
Then I Wiped everything and went thro the Aroma install process, re-root, and finally booted my Rom. But when the phone started I realized my Bluetooth was not working. I tried to pair many bluetooth devices.
Here is what I already tried to get my bluetooth back :
1. I tried different ROMs --> bluetooth very unstable or not connecting at all
2. I tried to flash other Modems version but they all gave me this problem --> My sim card is not detected
3. I tried to flash many different (compatible) older Bootloaders --> Odin FAILS to flash and my phone become almost bricked with them all. (Have to flash back BL and Modem from sammobile FXXU5ESD2)
My phone is G935F International version (with latest TWRP).
I'm am now using lastest LightROM Android 9.0 and it is very stable !! But I can't get my bluetooth to connect any device, or even when it does connect, the volume goes crazy or it disconnects randomly.
Also Mobile Network is showing 4G instead of 4G+ but that not a big deal.
My actual Bootloader information :
Current Binary : Custom
System Status : Custom
FRP Lock : OFF
Secure Mode : Enable
Warranty Void : 1 ( of course)
RP SWREV : B:5 K:3 S:4
Any help or hint would be strongly appreciated

I flashed another version from SamMobile (this version XEF)
PDA G935FXXS5ESF8 and CSC G935FOXA5ESF8
Booted it, no problem, I was on Android 8.0.0 unrooted as predicted. Bluetooth working as usual on 8.X Android versions.
Installed TWRP again, Rooted again.
Than I did a clean install of BlackDiamond v4.0.
MY BLUETOOTH IS WORKING FLAWLESSLY ON ANDROID PIE. :feelsgooodman:
