Hi All
Just had an upgrade to the Note 3. It was originally locked to 3 mobile but I have unlocked to use on O2. I'd like to get rid of the 3 mobile splash screen etc.
I've read through a few of the posts on here and I'm unsure as to how to go about doing the flash. I'm confused over the Knox thing. I am only wanting to flash the firmware not root.
Please can someone point me in the right direction......?
from what i have heard and what ppl have tried you will need to flash the SAME regions firmware as the one that came with your phone by default.. BTU has the region code "XX", so you will have to check to see your region code.. go to about phone and check it will something like this, "ZHUDMJ1 or XXUBMJ1".. the first 2 letter are the region code "ZH" and "XX" are just examples, your region code maybe different than those 2.. you can flash a different countries firmware if it has the same region code as yours

thank u for lighting me up about what firmware we need to flash to our note 3...
just want to ask if it's possible to flash this new firmware e.g XXUBMJ6
over to my rooted note 3 XXUBMJ1 and how?..help much appreciated
Anyone?
When I flashed one of the original Knox safe rooted firmwares, it inadvertently changed my CSC.
I have managed to get it back to what it should be, but the key is to use the same version as the one currently on the phone.
At the time it was MJ1 that was installed on my phone, and it was only variants of that version I used to get back to normal. The problem is when someone tries to downgrade. It wasn't really an exact science to getting it back to BTU either. More of a trial and error thing. I flashed, BTU firmware, wiped, opened recovery to check the CSC status, it still showed the wrong one, flashed again, loaded the phone up into the setup (as the phone gets wiped when changing CSC) was still bringing a foreign setup process, wiped and flashed again checked recovery and eventually it ended up where it should be.
So I think you should be able to debrand and the CSC with it to get official updates. But since they released the Note 3, flashing has become greater risk.

hi, my note on three uk, and i wanted 3 splash screen gone so just flashed via odin BTU latest firmware n9005xxudmj6, and knox all good, no worries.
I did hear something like we won't be able to flash ANY stock ROM via ODIN again if you have Warranty bit set to 1? I didn't try yet however. Can't risk it. But what I think is we won't be able to flash those earlier builds with the older boot-loader. Or how is it really?

Bricked? Did u need USB JIG to boot into download mode?
Try full wipe to fix battery issue. Or custom ROM.

you can flash stock rom .. here are instructions http://theunlockr.com/2013/10/13/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3/
you will not be able to flash stock rom when it warranty bit 1, this afternoon I tried to take it to samsung service center Indonesia, but they could not flash the original stock rom, because the ic flash is broken and they replaced the motherboard for free, and now I am just waiting for 3 days
@semeru
Your experience was a little don't make sense, was that so easy to break the IC with only warranty bit =1 after flashing stock rom and root it???
sammy was crazy to make such a low quality device, if this make sense, then you really freak me out because my warranty bit = 1. by the way how you could get free replacement if you got warranty bit=1? As I know Indonesian people always looking for someone mistake for not claimed a free warranty.
Here's for you :
I've root my note 3 N900 since XXUBMJ1 XSE and set everything into custom then I downloaded a full firmware from sammobile XXUCMJ7 XSE and successfully flash via Odin without fail and everything fresh like a new device. and Now I've rooted my N900 with XXUMJ7 XSE and warranty bit = 1.
My root method was flash CWM via odin then install superSU via CWM. Now if in the future I want to flash a new firmware, did zi get the same problem as you got? :crying: Please advice
sorry I also do not know, people in samsung service center said just like that, she said flash ic damaged, because I was flashing a rom via Odin many times and get the warranty bit 1. but i think she dont understand about warranty bit 1, because she does not discuss at all about warranty bit 1, they alone just can not re-flash the original rom, then they ask me to replace the motherboard that I offered for free because its still guarantee, so they can re-flash original rom, I was a little lie, I told her I bought a used note 3 from a friend, and never know about root. so i'm save

Hey mate! How is battery life on XXUMJ7? I am still on Stock MJ6 Rooted with Warranty bit = 1. Upgrade? Battery life better? thanks
@Stanley
No change but a little smoother on touch screen, but battery looks worse than XXUBMJ1, playing Temple Run OZ 1.6 a little fast draining battery life. I've trying to minimize battery draining by disable unused application in app manager like trip advisor, S-Health Samsung Link, Samsung Watch On, and S-Translator, and other application that seems useless until my RAM run at 1.16Gb than the first 1.77Gb. Then find running application that were not useful but always running at startup, but keep in mind if you disable an app, then you cannot use a related app you have enable it back.

You're really smart with that reason
Ok, there's no other way but to believe on what you said. My N900 now be the same as yours.
By the way, you flash what kind of ROM??? last week I just flash this Original XXUCMJ7 XSE to clean the my root and make a fresh install.
I haven't trying flash odexed ROM.
i got this warranty bit 1 after flashing that file via odin, maybe its contain its new bootlader, and i got bootloop on samsung logo, all i can do is just flash custom rom from dr.ketan.

Yes Correct, I've got that warranty bit = 1 because of that, Flashing a new complete ROM XXUCMJ7 from my last rooted XXUBMJ1.
Really damn that sammy, this will kill all cynaogen team, hope they getting smarter too.

If sammy said that flash IC is damaged and you get change into a new board, Now I have just tried flash a modem via Odin and it flashed successfully. if they said flash IC damage, we couldn't flash anything include CWM and modem.
I just want to go back to stockrom, just because I want to sell this note 3 and want to buy xperia z1 instead. I was very disappointed with the samsung, so I try to re flashing at authorized service center.
edit: yes i still can flash CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900, n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025), modem, csc, even my note 3 in a bootloop, but i just can't flash stockrom
@semeru
That sad you dissapoint with note 3.
Maybe me too, battery is going down a liitle fast. and sammy now playing with warranty bit that real scared user who want to mod their phone. really dissapoint, sammy don't realize how great modifying phone. modifying firmware always better than original stock firmware.
Thank you semeru for info. :cyclops:

One last question, what was the meaning of a bootloop???
no, i really loves this note 3, first i want to root my note 3 cause the battery life is worst, my note 2 is much better battery life, then after rooting it, i lost wifi, so i tried to flash stockrom, and i got this warranty bit 1 and bootloop
my fault because i'm not reading about why my wifi didnt work, but if you lose wifi, you can try in a build.prop ro.securestorage.support=true - change to false.
I actually do not really understand the languages of android, but as i know bootloop is you just stuck at samsung logo and can not boot into system
EDIT : hey, this afternoon samsung send sms that they finished and replaced with a new motherboard on my note 3, when I check the warranty bit 1 in download mode, no longer exists, but the current binary : samsung official , system status : custom but no root, and software update says your device has been modified. software updates are not available. bootloader N900XXUBMI5
I just bought my Exynos N900 phone and I'm about to flash a stock ROM just to have the latest version.
My Warranty Bit is 0 yet. Do you say that after flashing a stock ROM that would increase anyway? And if it goes to 1, I'd never be able to flash a Samsung ROM again??? WTH?
By the way, I'm in MJ6 as it came with the phone.
Thanks
if you have warranty bit= new boptloader(MJ7 bootloader) you only able flash stock MJ7 And newest roms cant able to flash old roms because u have new bootloader

Althought I'm on MJ6. Let me see if I understood. I'll be able to flash newer Samsung ROMs but wouldn't be possible to flash older ones? That's how it goes?
Or I'll never be able to flash any Samsung ROMs, neither older or newer?
hi, i just got my note 3 n9005 international a couple of days ago & now its time to root...you can say i am a little new to samsung because the last device i used was an s3 & that was a long time ago.....
i dont have any warranty so knox isnt that big of a concern unless it may cause some sort of damage to the phone...so far i have read..its only for warranty purposes like the flash counter for s3.
i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to point me to rooting & everything else i need to do to install custom roms including recovery...
i tried to read through the instructions of root de la vega but i find it too complicated...so i was thinking of doing cf auto root....
thank you

Samsung issue a 24month warranty on the Note 3 (maybe country specific?) -
If KNOX isn't an issue for you and you do not mind tripping it, the CF-Auto is the way to go.
RDLV is complicated if you're lazy, but it does preserve KNOX status depending on your bootloader version, put in #*1234# into your dial pad and post the results. We can know if you can use RDLV.
However, if you want to flash a Custom ROM, then you will need a custom recovery, which will trip your KNOX (can't be done without) - on the Android dev section and Orginal Android dev section (in this sub forum) are some Custom ROMs and the instructions on how to do so.
I have used X-Note, Crash and am currently using AllianceROM, but there are a few others.
Just be careful with custom kernels until you're pretty confident cause you can bootloop and ruin your EFS quite easily (it is fixable 99% of the time tho, script is on here also)
EDIT : All you need is here pretty much
thank you for your reply & these are the stats
AP: N9005XXUDMJ6
CP: N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC: N9005EVRDMJ4
also RDLV is way too complicated for me & besides i do plan to install a custom recovery so i think that defeats the point ....since you seem to have tripped knox, there hasnt been any kind of system issue i hope? this whole knox business gave me cold feet when i read about it...but so far as i can see..its just a flash counter.... could you tell me the tools i need to get started with? i already downloaded the usb drivers & odin 3.09..is there anything else i should need?
p.s. i was reading about "before or later MJ7 4" whatever...& i was wondering which of these was it refering to? ap? thank you
Once you trip the knox counter it makes no difference to the phone except not being able to use knox containers, and of course the warranty which you know. -- if you have the drivers and odin. Go grab cf-autoroot, run it thru odin and voila all done, similar for twrp or Cwm which ever you choose as your custom recovery (I use twrp) flash in odin and that's it all set.
Just make sure and I can't stress this enough, that you flash the right ROM for the N9005, and N900 doesn't work. - avoid doing restores with twrp for now also when you do a back up, some issues have arose recently and not sure of they're resolved or not yet.
Have fun man, just read everything about the ROM etc before you flash the odd one has FC's or NFC issues
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ok so backing up & restoring with recovery is, for the time being, a no no? yes i will make sure to see if the roms are made for n9005 only....i will probably start off with omega roms as they are the 1st choice i had when i started modding the s3 ....thank you soo much mate for all the info...1 last thing to clear up is i am reading on developers talking about MJ or MK or whatever it is....are they talking about the build number i find in Settings/About??
1 thing i couldnt get a proper answer for...is how does 1 know they have the international variant of the n9005 anyway? normally if a n9005 is under some sort of carrier...the carrier logo would flash when booting up right? because thats what happens on my brother's note 3 n9005...when he boots up his phone..it shows SFR logo before going to the samsung bootanimation.....but on mine there is no such thing...the simple note 3 n9005 text then samsung boot animation & then straight to system...that means mine is the unbranded 1 am i correct?

Yeah yours is unbranded, only thing that may/will apply to you is region lock (which unless you're leaving the country your purchased your phone in isn't an issue at the start.
Although I see your CSC is EVR (if I recall correctly that is EE UK's firmware on board)
EDIT: Yes MK/ML are build numbers
no i dont have region lock..THAT i checked...so can i go forwards with all the rooting recovery & custom roms? i did find a orange core services apk on my apps manager under ALL tab..... also what original firmware can i roll back to incase anything goes wrong? any specifics?

Yup can go forwards. EVR (EE aka Orange/T-Mobile) have unlocked phones so yeah you won't have region lock. Which means yours is unbranded but carrier unbranded.
As for firmware, it depends on what region you are using? And what country you are in (you could use BTU (also UK, unbranded but EVR is ok also) - You are **now I say this depending on your country/region** OK on MJ7 or MK2 IF you upgrade since you're using a UK based ROM/CSC your network obviously supports it. However battery life is better on lower than MJ6. So it's your choice really.
Most custom ROMs are MK2 or ML2 atm I think, - Not sure if any upgrade your bootloader to MJ7 (if they do, you can't roll back any lower currently)
i just need a stock firmware so as i have a fallback if anything goes wrong...nothing more really as i plan to stick with custom roms...will this do?

i am in Bangladesh so i am pretty confident that there isnt any rom for my region
yea i was wondering about the battery life myself...i dont know what version my brother's note is but his battery lasts noticibly longer than mine does....i was even planning on swapping batteries as i thought it might be a cell related issue

As long as your bootloader doesn't go to MJ7 - that firmware is OK, If your bootloader updates ( I think it may with the custom ROM) you can't roll back to MJ6, you can go to MJ7 or MK2 via BTU which will work for you since EVR works.
the latest omega is ML2 so by that measure...i wont be able to roll back to MK2 either & the latest on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459328 is MK2

You can drop back as far as MJ7 ( I have at least when I've returned to stock due to mess ups) my build is MK2 atm

csc seems a very complicated mess...GOD when did the mod friendly samsung go this crazy? the s3 was the most fun thing to mod...now this feels more complicated then Sony's!! :'( since my csc is EVR...is it possible to put BTU? i saw someone post this but didnt get any replies... http://www.usofttech.com/t128991.html

You can CF root straight away, - since you're triggering KNOX anyway it won't affect you. Then on with custom recovery etc, just keep MJ7 as your stock back up on your PC just incase. and IF you run into any issues with EFS (bootloops/no signal/wifi/baseband etc) use THIS It has saved me and quite a few others.
EDIT: And no problem man, glad to help, we all start somewhere with new devices

TWRP has issues *sometimes* there's a few posts about it around, I personally have had no problems and use TWRP fine, but I mentioned it because what works for one, doesn't always for another.
As for EFS backup, keep it just incase -- IT seems Android can rebuild the EFS again with that fire script. -- It's handy though, gotten a few out of the crapper including myself

P.s. I want to change firmware bcoz I am not getting volte on my phone. I've tried a few things without any luck. And the only solution seems to be to change my CSC. Any help will be appreciated.

As far as I know you can't downgrade due to antirollback protection. I don't imagine switching firmwares would work very well at all

It not a rollback technically it's more of a sideways move but I might be wrong. Is it because of the older bootloader on the firmware I want to switch to?

If you attempt to switch your bootloader to an older version it can cause a hard brick putting the device into EDL mode but I do believe you can switch the system a bit
So there is no way to change the firmware? Is there any way I can get volte

You're absolutely welcome! I'll have a search around Google and maybe point you into the right direction. I'm sure there is a flashable firmware for Odin (combo-firmware) that enables this
EDIT:
Because your on an International chipset (Exynos) you can actually flash a custom OS which supports the Volte. Just ensure you've taken the steps to unlock the bootloader through the developer options in settings (enable OEM unlock)
Don't unlock your bootloader and dont root your phone
if something goes wrong the EFS patition will corrupt and you are on U8
U7 combination firmware is not available and we dont know when will it will be available
you have to download U8 rom and flash home csc from U7 INS (latest software available for India)
it will enable Volte on your phone
make sure to tick nand erase when flashing Autoboot and f.reset time

Unlocking and root have nothing to do with the EFS partition. Sounds like you may have did something like modifying it and caused data to be corrupt and you never kept a backup.

once i root my device then after monts i decided to go back on stock
then after some monts i decided to try NFE 9.0 Black Diamond after that i get many errors and made a mistake
6 monts before i didn't know things now i know things like bl and opening and booting phone wihtout bl and many more
its the easiest method to get INS VOLTE on UAE Exynos Model
My phone is running smooth but efs is corrupted that makes S/N No. none and no network
Phone is dead from march
Lets hope for U7 and U8 combination firmware
Thanks for the help. Really
Volte used to work before the Oreo update. And won't a custom ROM trip my Knox? (I use secure folder). I recently tried to flash a stock ROM with modified CSC file to get volte working on my S6 g920f. But it didn't work. It tripped my Knox and now my short codes don't work and CSC shows blank. Calls work though. But no volte.

You can wait for the INDIAN U8 STock and then flash it on your device with Home CSC which will surely enable volte
Remember With Nanderase f.reset time and auto reboot
Don't trip your knox i regret it!!
I would wait too if you trip Knox with a warranty then your SOL. If your lucky you won't be it's best to wait for the firmware
Well I am waiting till there is a stock firmware. But I don't think there will be an official update seeing as it's an old model phone and the official software support is only 2 or 3 years from the company. So fingers crossed. I might flash the ins version and try to make it work if I get a new phone and my S7 will become a spare.
And thanks for the help guys ?.
Now I'm thinking of flashing a custom ROM on my S6. Let's see ....
