Flashing roms meant for other versions would most likely not work, but I'm just guessing.

From what I see, the N9009 does not even come with WCDMA bands, which means you won't even have 3G...

As for the region lock, if somehow it is locked, which I don't think so, all you need to do is to make a call with a China SIM, from a China carrier and the lock will be removed.

Root using Universal Root De La Vega. Did not trip knox. Depends on which version you're at though. I know MJ7 cannot use URDLV. That one need to use chainfire method.

Download the latest firmware from: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and then flash using Mobile Odin Pro. That's how I did it. Credits to [MENTION=1595061]williamyi[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4608236]joytest[/MENTION]

We refer to your email dated 9th Dec (Ref No.111526XXXX)

Please be advised that if the Samsung Knox counter is tripped from 0x0 to 0x1, customers will not be covered in the warranty for either hardware or software failure as the full warranty will be voided.

As for installing custom roms or downgrading of the mobile device, the Samsung Knox on the device will recognise that someone is attempting to modify or hack into the device thus the counter will be tripped.

Upgrading of the phone firmware via FOTA, Kies or Smart tool service will not trip the Samsung Knox counter on the mobile device.

If the Samsung Knox counter is tripped via Kies, FOTA or Smart tool service, Samsung will need to review these instances on case by case basis. Further checks will be needed to be done by qualified Samsung Technicians in the Samsung Service Centre before they can advise further.

We are sorry to inform you that Samsung is unable to unlock the bootloader for Samsung Knox as this software is meant to prevent hacking or external and internal modifications to both the hardware and software of the device.It is a security enhancement for the device and thus the Samsung Knox cannot be removed from the device.

Any significant changes with ML2?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nirenj:
Hi anybody having issue with proximity sensor on ur N3 ?

Every time when I get call and keep the phone near to face the screen goes off as expected, but if I move phone away from my face the screen does not lit back. It comes back only after the phone is ended and when i press any button.

Anybody facing this issue and any resolutions?

I am having screen protector which is not covering the sensors, and am using custom rom with root.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dimebolt:
Hi guys want to ask a noob qns. My n3 unrooted updated to ML2 just yesterday. Am I still able to root my phone with chainfire method?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] arvin2212:
Can the root de la vega method be used without triggering knox?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanwhoo:
RDLV can only root MJ3 and below (not tripping KNOX). The firmware you quoted is ML2 which is not supported.

Thou Kingo has been reported with security issues, I'm damn tempted to use it if it doesn't trip KNOX on ML2...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] arvin2212:
or

Are you sure?

I have personally used RDLV for MJ7 and it worked fine. I am not talking in the sense of bootloader. As far as the bootloader is concerned, mine is MJ1 which I have never upgraded. So far I am still knox 0 x 0 @ MJ7.

Not sure if RDLV would work with ML2 but I have read on a forum of a user who used RDLV for ML2 and it worked fine. So i guess it wouldn't be an issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanwhoo:
To be honest, I just bought my GN3 2 days ago and only dived into trying to root it since then and when I questioned about my firmware (ML2) in RDLV's thread, that was what I was told.

So you're saying the latest firmware just released is already supported?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
Hi Singaporeans.

Anyone would like to report the battery life/usage on ML2?

Is it better than the current MJ7, like what stanley08 reports?

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] arvin2212:
Well, this is the file released in one of the forums:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanwhoo:
Thanks for the link! Would you mind sharing the link to the original post so I know this won't trip Knox?

*Edit -

Googled the file and found the forum. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanwhoo:
Dunno about MJ7's battery performance but here's ML2.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:
You are already on ML2 with new bootloader. Rooting with that file will trip your knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanwhoo:
Thanks for the heads-up.

Guess I'll have to wait...

Wonder if anyone tried Kingo on ML2.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
Hmmm

In nearly 15hours, u are left with 59% of battery?

with heavy usage?

could u post yr battery result?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanwhoo:
I still need to monitor as this is my 2nd day.

On my note 2 I had a bug with my exchange server. Might have the same issue here.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] loomis:
hey guys,

I send a msg to Samsung today and I got the reply from them, it seems we are not affected with KNOX warranty if trigger it. but I'm not sure does anyone faces warranty void issue not after sending to Samsung?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:
The only way to trip knox is rooting. So from thier statement technically you void warranty. :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
oh ok.

let us know how it goes later.

Android OS looks better than MJ7's..

[Galaxy Note 3 General] zocster:
Thanks for this, seems a bit nicer than MK2 ....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Koguchi9:
I've got the same issue... Running MJ3.

Mine also turns the screen on randomly when I have the phone next to my ear when it should be off.

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 AM ----------

Not so. It will trip if you any firmware from mj7 onwards and then try to flash back a previous one as the bootloader has been changed.

Possibly even mj3 onwards.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gariontjk:
For info.

Updated to ML2 using mobileodinpro without tripping knox.

Previously on MI6 rooted using URDLV, updated to MJ7 using mobileodinpro.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
Do u mean the MJ7 had better battery life than ML2?

:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua:
Feel tt ML2 is using lesser RAM than MJ7 IMHO. At least when i c my task manager the RAM usage is now less than 1.8GB
[Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua:
Hmmm.. differentcase for me though. I used lesser TAM n feels my battery life improved also leh.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
what's yr current usage now on battery life?

what about the AndroidOS?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua:
I will monitor the batt usage on "AndroidOS". Update u all tml.

That's strange.

Different device got different battery drain..

Could it be any 3rd party apps running in those 6hours over 30+%?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] allthesemeat:
updated and got battery drain. flashed older firmware, same thing happen. Updated back to ML2, but to no avail. Brought the device to samsung yesterday, told them the battery was draining 2x the speed, they said they will flash the rom again for me, if the drainage still happens after that, it means the new firmware "will drain more battery". Had the phone for 1 day, android OS taking up to 40% of battery usage.... Just have to wait patiently for kitkat... missing my 10hrs screentime.:crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mcspicyeddy:
Hi all, New to this rooting scene. Previously root on Note 1 and 2. I wanted to use the RDLV method and I don't mind tripping knox. What I have is the ap file which is the ML2, Can anybody link me to the csc files of MK2? Preferably mediafire or mega thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] joshua:
A short update on my batt. Tmr will post my halfday n full day stats.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mcspicyeddy:
My phone AP is ML2 while the csc is MK2 any ideas on using the RDLV method?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanwhoo:
Like mine, that's the latest firmware. If you haven't already rooted before, you're out of luck for now and have to wait till they release a root for it.

Unless you don't mind tripping knox then there are other root methods besides RDLV that can root.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] hs_lim:
Haha,that time i tried updating my rooted phone to latest firmware ML2 from MJ1 by using mobile odin pro but failed.Then I flashed back the original firmware with desktop odin but i lost the imei & the phone unable to connect to network anymore.I thought the phone half bricked & tried everything to save it even flashed the custom recovery that tripped the knox to 0x1 but problem still remained .So i decided to try my luck & sent the phone to service centre at jurong point.I told the customer service that my phone cant connect to network then he told me it was motherboard problem & need to change.I think they never check the knox counter.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sofes:
Ever since I updated my phone to the latest Rom, I noticed that the screen doesn't light up after making a call. And if I am making a call to banks or service providers, the screen doesn't light up when I need to key in number, and it does not screen off when I continue my call/ talk to customer service.

I rooted from day one and recently upgraded to 4.4.2. The upgrade really made my note 3 quicker over all. Battery life also seems better.

If you do upgrade, pls take note that you might run into some issues with some applications accessing external SD cards. If you choose to apply the "fix", you'll need to root and I'd highly recommend manually editing the platforms.xml and not replacing it.

There's a way... use MOP to inject root, and desktop Odin to update bootloader. Just not sure if SG's firmware works :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] hayabusa08:
Well either ways we both did not ans the question correctly as he was referring to mj7 which is still on 4.3 and not 4.4.2 lol. So the ans to his question is YES you can use MOP to upgrade to mj7 and maintain root. But now samsung is rolling out 4.4.2 kitkat might as well you upgrade to it straight unless ur waiting for OTA from singtel.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

Download the poland 4.4.2 and flash with odin if you cant wait. And flash xsp when its officially out. No harm only lose root.

Well, 4.4.2 is so new, and considering the irreversible nature of an upgrade I'd rather hold on and enjoy my smaller upgrade first :D

[Galaxy Note 3 General] twosix:
From chainfire on using MOP 4.0:

Mobile ODIN updated to v4.00

Lots of new stuff, please read the entire post!

Device support

Support has been added for the S4 and Note3 on the new Android 4.4 with the new bootloaders. This took quite some time and effort, as especially the Note3 has a number of new protections.

Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Canadian S4 and Note3 models are now also supported on 4.3. The S4 models were already supported on older versions, but Note3 support is completely new.

Note that I have not been able to personally test those American S4 and Note3 variants (so be sure to give feedback in the XDA thread). They will also most likely require another update to work on official 4.4 firmwares when those come out, so be sure to inform me (in the XDA thread) about those new firmwares when they become available.

Modem flashing

An often-reported issue with the latest family of Samsung devices is that flashing may freeze when protected partitions are being written to, resulting in a soft-bricked device. The modem partitions are an example of such protected partitions.

Code has been added that attempts to detect if those protections are enabled, and if so, will skip flashing the affected partition and emit an on-screen warning.

You can generally work around those protections by using Triangle Away to reset the binary status and counter (system status is not so important).

It is certainly still possible to flash complete firmwares and modems using Mobile ODIN, the conditions just need to be right.

Upgrading between Android revisions

It is not uncommon that if the you're upgrading to a new firmware with a new Android version that you need to flash bootloaders, trustzone, etc. before the firmware will boot. Mobile ODIN does not flash those partitions, so you need desktop ODIN for that.

A feature has been added to boot into download mode after the Mobile ODIN flash. You can use this to flash the new firmware (with EverRoot enabled), follow by a boot to download mode to flash a modified package with only the bootloaders (and trustzone and such, but not system), followed by a reboot to recovery to apply the CSC, finally followed by the full Android boot.

That way you can upgrade Android versions and bootloaders while staying rooted. Providing the new Android version doesn't actually break the included root, of course.
