Could you tell me which one to download?

Have you installed package from these?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
Yes I have but I own a N9005 unit so I flashed the right/compatible image for my phone. You can actually see their are some for different note 3 versions there. Also dont download the one that has the words "deodex,root etc as those are roms that can be flashed using a cistom recovery. And I think all files there contain the tar file inside the zip.

1. D/L CWM RECOVERY latest version from same thread

2. Flash it using odin (if u r screen in error, don't worry u can flash that will also work.)

3. Flash supersu 2.4 using cwm recovery

4. Flash L19 by using cwm recovery

5. Flash bootloader for Lollipop 5 using odin

And Enjoy

All files u can download from same thread

If u want to continue old rom just flash it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] js2892:
Already did this.. was able to flash CWM and then L19 but did not flash bootloader and it still works fine.. now my device is working fine but I still don't know what original problem was!

Anyways thanks.

Difference between Russian version and Indian Version Roms.

Can anyone please tell me stability and performance differences between russian roms and the indian roms of note 3:Sm N900,I have been using russian rom earlier (android 4.4.2) and it felt much lighter and more responsive than the indian roms.There is a verly little difference between the two,few russian apps and shutdown logo included,I have also noticed that on the russian roms the device heates up less.

I am asking this question cause I need to upgrade my note 3 sm n900 (international variant) to android lollipop and the lollipop update for note 3 sm n900 in available for russian region (after the first update from Poland). So,in all should I wait for the ota to be available in india or should i download the russian rom which is available from online data storages,one thing in particular and utmost importance is that I would like to know wheter if I upgrade my note 3 with the russian roms will I get the further updates in India because of the change in region of the rom ?

Plss help any senior member,thanks..☺
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mahi198488:
I think There is no difference between indian and russian rom. Main is region. Others are same

If u upgrade to Russian ROM you will not get Indian updates.... u will receive only updates for Russian ROM .

IF u want, just update and try. Afterwards u can flash Indian ROM when it arrives. :thumbup:

Hello,

Am a proud new owner of a Note 3 :D and i have flashed the Russian Firmware and i agree with the RAM usage. Other than that its fine. I don't think there is a rooting method for lollipop yet :'(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
As far as I know there is a rooting method, just no xposed framework. Search for it. I dont have the link right now.

Hey. Yes I tried searching rooting for lollipop sm900 and that got me nothing!

Sent from my SM-N900 Xcalibur
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
1.search for cwm. And flash using Odin

2.search zip version of supersu from Chainfire and flash

That's it to root lollipop
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ares.phobos:
Only CWM or can i try TWRP too?

Thanks for the help Doc.

Update : It worked! Thanks Dr.Ketan!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Either of it. But twrp may fail to install better go with this

Not sad at all really s5 and note 4 will get the better optimized version of lollipop
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
Cant agree with you mate.

According to me, note 4 then s5 then note 3 and s4 should get lollipop. The more recent phones should have faster updates.

And note 3 russian lollipop update is 5.0 with screen pinning and a few features missing. But the s4 indian got 5.0.1 with most features.

Samsung should get their **** straight.

Follow this exact in order

1 . Reflash lollipop rom once it finish it may not boot but don't worry

2.flash cwm recovery ( http://d-h.st/ECF )

3.reboot to recovery and select wipe data (factory reset)

Step 2 is just to prevent data loss from internal SD. If that's not important then skip and follow step 3 with stock recovery
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
Thanks ketanji,

I am able to boot into download mode hoding volume down button and recovery mode holding volume up button. Should i try to do following in present condition without Reflash lollipop rom (Ignoring step 1)

Wipe cache

OR

factory reset

Data is not important as I have all my important data on memory card (video/images)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Of course you can straightway select to factory reset

I have suggest clean way bcoz you have flashed some Tool manager or something.

In case you needs to Reflash rom then this time root by

-flashing cwm and then

Flashing supersu zip
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
I did same thing as you suggested to root my device.

But ended up in signature verification fail error:

Edit 1

Phone is alive again:

Hello dr.ketan,

Did following things to recover the phone: without flashing lollipop.

1. wipe cache partition

Nothing happened, was still getting those application stop issues, phone was unable to boot.

2. wipe/reset data

Phone came back alive.. all applications got uninstalled except Super-Su Free from Chainfire.

I am able to open the application Super-su properly.

How can i confirm.. If there is nothing wrong and proceeding ahead with setting upon the mobile again.

Edit 2

Went to Recovery Mode and Download Mode, did nothing..

Again started having the same boot issues, all applications getting stopped

WEIRD !!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
It seems your recovery is still stock

Flash said recovery with odin but Uncheck Auto reboot option in Odin. Once flashing pass - manually reboot device to recovery with home, power and Vol up

Now you should have cwm and flash supersu zip

But supersu working fine then no needs to do anything
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
How do i do this process from recovery mode or download mode ?

Not sure what file to select and what options to select in odin..

A small detailed instruction will do my work sir.

Getting comfortable with this terms/files slowly.. but willing to learn @ best..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
You need to boot to download/odin mode first by pressing the volume down button + home button and power button while the phone is off. It should then show you a message about Download Mode with Volume Up to continue and Down to restart.

Press volume up then it will show you a screen telling you to dont turn off. Connect the phone to the computer then open odin application. Depends on your odin version but i have 3.0.9.

Once odin is opened you will see on the upper left middle aide there will be a highlighted box showing "com" which means your phone is detected.

In odin you will see there on the left two options with a check on it namely Auto Reboot and F. Reset(i think) remove the check on auto restart.

Then just follpw the steps provided by dr. ketan.

If your still having problems you can also try using the skipsoft unified tool which in a way will guide you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
Thanks sir still not at home I'll try one reached.

Is there any official site to download Odin I find lot of options and version's on Google(all tlds) as well .Co. in

Probably should be officially marked as official and on top results.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Doesn't make any difference with version of Odin. Older version have PDA tab which newer known as AP

And you need to select it for cwm recovery file. (you already must have did that while flashed lollipop rom itself)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
Not sure.. How i updated lollipop last time or rooted device . (local mobile repairers who work for rooting when paid are not at all knowledgeable)

I always got STOCK recovery MODE option, just tried to get into recovery MODE on a Note 2, and got same menu options.. like i have in NOTE 3.

Few minutes later, followed all instructions in this thread again:

Thanks to dr.ketan and cryostasis25..

I used same file again = n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812).tar

And now I am getting a different recovery MODE option..

(PROBABLY, i have to

MYSELF

spend more time reading/understanding terms.. before going ahead).

Now top title of recovery mode displays "CWM-based reocovery v6.0.5.0"

Giving few many options to select from list. (I never got this recovery mode before ??? )

All my last wiped applications are intact as well.. (wiped around 6-8 hours ago)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58775300&postcount=5

I am not sure still, what i tried/did.. Any guidance shall be a miracle.. for a newb

Tried going to recovery mode/download mode several times now, and phone wont crash

Kindly let me know what/where i did wrong..

Edit 1

I am also getting an option now to install dr.ketan ROM from recovery mode.. will try that for sure :)

Once I receive some responses (to a newb)

Edit 2

I can still find I am rooted, Chanfire su app still appears installed and runs perfectly fine..

Guys, I have a doubt. May be the indian version lollipop will be out tomorrow or some another day, it may INU be the first like S4 did. My note 3 is INS variant. So will I get the update via OTA. Mainly whats the difference between INU and INS? And what is full form of INU and INS?

I am trying to find root guides,threads which help root the sm-n900 model running on 4.4.2 without tripping the knox counter.

I am tired of fruitless searches so if anyone is kind enough please link me to the required guides or if there is no method to root our model without tripping knox then please say so clearly and tell me which method to use instead.

I need to root my device to backup my dictionary which doesn't have an pption to import all the tags i made till now.

I want to use titanium backup for it & greenify to boost my sucky battery.

hai indian users

please post the experience in Lollipop 5.0 Russia

How is the performance ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
the performance is really good but the ram usage is really high, camera quality is improved and now the camera takes less time to focus on objects.There are some added new features and some other features which have been renamed.You will have a experience of a new phone but there are certain drawbacks as according to me :-

1. I don't like the task manager at all

2. Sometimes the screen is unresponsive to touch (it hardly happens,you can neglect this if you are really exited about lollipop)

3. I don't like the idea of selecting the new tabs opened in chrome by pressing the home key and then accessing them.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] krishnamoorthy:
3. Can be disabled in Chrome current version (and get that in chrome itself)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
thnxx buddy,I really didn't had an idea.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mahi198488:
For 2. I think it is your phone problem I did not get any touch issues...

Main problem I felt that. RAM usage.. it makes phone slow...

Another one is battery drain, when using fb and line etc.. battery is draining very fast...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
It happens with me as well on kitkat. Though it seens it is caused when ram usage is extremely high but then i press the home key, close all the apps and vlear the ram, for it to respond again.

That happens to me as well 20 mins on FB on wifi and i loose 7-8% battery. When we got kikat first update it was just 4% max.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IODroids:
Battery drain seems to be a great issue probably happening only with few applications

My KitKat lived 2 days easily even with 2 to 6 hours of gaming and video. Without volume

But now same apps and same videos kills entire battery in 4 hours max from 100 to less than 10

Sent from my SM-N900
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Videos for me consume 14% battery for 45-50 mins of playback. I had played 1 race of asphault 8 a couple of months back for 5 mins of racing i lost 3% battery.

Also i noticed doing a OTA update via phone messes the battery more compared to doing it via kies from PC which takes alot of time though.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mahi198488:
Use cm security game booster u can play all games very smoothly
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Hope that works. When i clean ram using system taskman or clean master's 1-tap boost the ram gets clearned by 500mb but again gradually gains 300mb or so.

That cm security thing sounds good though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] begimaad:
When is the new nfs coming out anyways?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
all these apps are waste of time don't install them cause they themselves eat up a lot of ram.They are good for phones which don't have a task manager or which run on stock android like micromax and all,samsung always integrates a task manager with its every smartphone.

Go to the settings->general-> apps ->running apps,there u go your cm security is itself consuming minimum 15 mbs of ram.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Not announced yet.

I checked 15mb seems less. Samsung keyboard consumes 83mb & facebook 161mb.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
what am trying to xplain is that the samsung touchwiz is one of the heaviest ram consuming os.You cannot replace the stock keyboard (unless rooted) or any system file which consumes a lot of memory but u can prevent other apps which don't save ram but inturn consume it more impersonating some app which is imperative for the phone to run smoothly..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
huhh,****ty samsung service centres.Mate u jst had to do one thing download the firmware manually from online data servers and flash via odin.

The knox counter can also be reset to 0x0 which will not void you warranty.You just had to google it out properly.

Here you go (now that you have official lollipop rom russian region for the device) :-

1: Download the firmware file here

->1st location: http://uploaded.net/file/j5gqmpq5

->2nd location: http://rapidgator.net/file/fd4d7ea9...sm-n900-official-android-5-0-lollipop-update/

->3rd location: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/ba6dae... 13.01.15/SER-N900XXUEBOA6-20150128152931.zip

2: Now flash the rom via odin 3.09 or 3.10 and temember to check the reset option to restart the device.

Download odin here: http://odindownload.com/SamsungOdin/#.VORcNymAXqA

3: For knox reset to 0x0 here download the file here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52329946&nocache=1#post52329946

flast the file via odin with the defaults marked in odin.

4: Now to root the phone you have to download the chainfire cf auto root here: https://androidxda.net/how-to-root-...id-5-0-lollipop-leaked-firmware-cf-auto-root/

and flash it via odin but remember most importantly to uncheck the reactivation lock in device settings->general->security.

5: You can also add a custom recovery mod (it is mentioned on the same page in step 4 ) and flash various mods.

6: It seems that your battery is dead so buy a new one, u can go for extended ones on snapdeal or ebay or amazon here:

-> https://m.ebay.in/sch/i.html?kw=note+3+extended+battery&_trksid=p2059706.m2930.l5387

-> http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?k=note+3+extended+battery

and lastly the SM N900 version of note 3 is exynos version which has a heating issue reason being it has a 8 core chisetwith 3 gigs of ram which is a lot of raw power which the company has tried to pack in such a slim device failing to curtail the heating effect on the screen and the back near the camera because I think that is the place where the processor chip is installed.

If u have any further questions just feel free to ask.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drheart:
thank u so much ratnaveer singh for ur valuble info and time. so u recommend flashing this russian lollipop rom ?? is it stable ? and will the russian variant work perfectly in india ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
yupp i works perfectly on SM N900 but you will not get ota's cause it is a russian varient.You can flash it for the time being and wait for the indian lollipop version to be out soon.

I will post the links as soon as it is available in India,the only difference between the two toms would be that in Indian versionyou will get the ota's.It is mainly beacause of change in regions.

hello ratnaveer , i just rooted my sm n900 with kingo root. i have now super user access. now what all things are to be done next? i need to uninstall some bloatware
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
best root apps

1: Titanium backup,download the latest pro version just google it, u'll get the cracked apk.It is used for removing bloatwares and taking backups of apps which can be flashed later via a cwm.

2: Root browser,to add necessary mods which you like.

3: A cwm to flash oter custom roms and mods which are in flashable.zip format.

Now you can do anything with your phone but be warned do not mingle with anything you don't know or do not delete a system apk if you are not sure what it does.Like if u delete the system ui apk u will loose all the access to iser interface of the os...so jst be carefull what you do..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] drheart:
can u pls explain to me whats the difference between cwm and titanium backup , both do make back ups ryt ? and also please explain what is xposed and about installing mods
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
titanium backup has been always used as a app which has is used to remove bloatware from phone and make flashable zips and a custom recovery mod (as fas as I have used) makes backups of the whole os or separately system data or user data not specific apps.

The wanam xposed module (personally I don't use it) is used to make system tweaks and changes in ui and install various other mods on a default android os like in the samsung touchwiz.

Mods are,as they are named "Mods", are used to install other phones apps which are not available to you device, if not rooted.Mods are also sometimes used to do small changes in the phones according to your interests.

For example here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2474804
