now can some one from here enlighten me rooting our indian n900 will void warranty?or our sammy cc is too inteligent to check this??

i want to root only without tripping knox..

i am reading but still cant find the answer
[Galaxy Note 3 General] saurabh88:
why on the earth my note 3 is not rooting even after extensive reading and following the method given by dr ketan for 4.4.2??

its just after flashing odin package when i try to flash superuser file through recovery it just failed warning in red line update package failed...what am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mayank shekhar:
yes rooting will void warranty, and no it is very unlikely that samsung cc in India will be able to identify it or even if they know they just don't care about it much.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] saurabh88:
Mayank this is 5th time I failed to root man.. Don't know but something went wrong.. My binary status say it's custom but no root no su. Mine is 4.4.2 and has been updated recently to latest software.. Can you have some idea for me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Seems still you dont have cwm.

Tell me which file you have flashed with odin.

And what is menu of your recovery
[Galaxy Note 3 General] saurabh88:
this method..

but doesnt work..

now strange thing is my warranty is void but both binary status went back to official.

main problem is even my odin say it passed no cwm for me:crying::crying:

and after that this method

http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Do this

Download this recovery

http://d-h.st/ECF

Open odin and uncheck Auto reboot

Flash avove said recovery once odin say passed, manually press three button combo (Vol up+home+power) to enter recovery manually

If it ask to overwrite stock recovery, select appropriate option to deny it.

Done.

Once you have CWM, flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
Otherwise flash cf-autoroot for note 3 international exynos version via odin and then install custom recovery as per your liking.

How did you get the transparent notification bar bellow area? Is it the stock rom? I didn’t see this anywhere.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

With the new update the top notification bar background is slightly lighter than dark black all the time. But when pull down it became dark black. It is a so light change, even if your recent update miss this or not showing this I wont advice you to root the phone, as you will void warranty and you can messed up the phone as well.

European Sim in Note 3 (Indian Version) ???

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your wonderful work, I was able to track through all the comments and now I think I am ready to buy Note 3

However I had few doubts, great if you can help

What I know

1) Indian Version- Exynos 5 Octa - Rs.49,990 , possible price drop by October 2nd/3rd week in street store

2) UK Version - Snapdragon 800- GBP 629 /else locked on contract 24 months/ has region lock ???

3) US Version - Snapdragon 800 - USD 850 ?? /locked on contract 24 months/has region lock ???

I was thinking of buying this phone from UK but just saw in this forum a picture which says that Europe Note 3 not usable in India, Is there a similar restriction on Indian version of Note 3

I think UK version converting to Indian Rs would come out to Rs.60K approx, i don't think it is worth buying at such a high price in spite of Snapdragon 800 processor , Indian version is still fine as long as it does not overheat and has similar performance.

I have to decide on buying note 3 in India if it would be usable in US/UK

and not have similar region locks

Please help :confused:

Regarding rooting

Hi, i Rooted my device 2 weeks back. But yesterday when i was using one of the rooted app, i realized that my device has been unrooted by itself. I havnt done anything. I dont know the reason why it got unrooted by itself.. Do anyone know the reason..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] akshayadv:
Camera has become inferior

I have updated to the latest Rom. Earlier, I was on the stock rom that came with the handset (India region) at the time of initial launching of the Note 3 handset.

Earlier, when I had not updated the software, the camera was very responsive and the pictures used to come out very crisp.

However, with the latest updating to Kitkat Ver. 4.2.2. Build N900DDUENG1, the camera has become slow in focusing and mostly in room lit conditions, the images are shaky and blurred even when flash is used.

Any workaround.

(I have already disabled the anti-shake feature)

Regards.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
The new update is consuming way too much battery for video playback. Yesterday i lost 12% for just 30mins of playback. When i first bought the phone i used to lose just 7% for a hour of playback back then it was running on 4.3 but now with kitkat prior to the two new updates i was losing 10% for 50mins so samsung is really messing something up bigtime to make us upgrade to a newer phone.

flashing

I did flash the K12 with Odin, it went well but without baseband and EMEI, found out only when am ask to insert SIM:((bsnl already inserted).

After 9 days of browising xda developers try to fix internet/wifi connection with modem.img,BL..etc:confused:. out of fustration i cut out new Airtel SIM and inserted then it connects:) but the wifi does'nt scan for spots when i know there are 7-8 spots available nearby. what i mean is after flashing,deleting or formating, any anti theft SW becomes a laughing stock.right:laugh:

Hello there ! I own an exynos rooted Note 3 ! Earlier i could flash my stock rom with official status even if it was rooted i.e before NB1 update ! Recently i flash MIUI v5 rom n i flashed back my stock rom via odin i.e NB1 ! I tried manually updating to NC1 just by OTA zip( 26 mb .zip ). But after this update the status has tripped to CUSTOM one ! I tried flashing the whole rom again through odin,still it shows that it is CUSTOM.I somehow managed to make that status to OFFICIAL by wanam exposed but still i am unable to flash OTA updates. Is there any other way to update ? I want the latest firmware i.e G series without flashing the whole rom through odin (1.6gb) :) Is there any other way ? :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Wanam module just makes it cosmetic. You have used Wanam means you have rooted device and that can be cause. Also if you have custom recovery it show custom.

Do this7

Flash any older rom you having

Wipe data on stock recovery (you will lose Int SD data too

Check for update, now it should work.

[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] thanks for your continuous help, your support has been very important in case of Note II also and now in Note III also,

I am having unrooted Note III and want to root but want to use knox some times. So first I wanted to flash bootloader without knox and then flash custom ROM. What you say about this post in developer only section can I downgrade to 4.3 and then flash custom ROM so that it will not trip knox and I can use knox afterwards and my warranty will also be intact.

Check your internet settings or you can try changing network mode manually. (Gsm/wcdma) try to connect to gsm and then wcdma.

If you are rooted and using non indian firmware then modem file may also causing problem. Try changing modem.
