Samsung released update ! But not for us yet !

Samsung already released a 116 mb stability update for note 3 lte , just donno if they will release an update for indian exynos version too,

Samsung should understand india is the market where they make maximum sales that too without subsidies and contracts , should not take indian users so lightly or else in few years all might shift to their competitors .

At least their rivals though costly don't discriminate in hardware , they give the same hardware in all countries irrespective of lte or 3G availability

Do thank if I helped!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nannlp:
Have flashed the J6 firmware . Everything good but the contact names have a ", " between the first and last names which is wierd. PHONE WORKS ABSOLUTELY FINE
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kaifkhan97:
can your'll pls list the problem in note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mital.ashu:
I have rooted the phone just to make it adfree..

Nothing else I have done.. if I want to go to service centre to make it repair. What should I need to do. For that knox and custom all that....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thelostlegend:
Totally agree with you hope they release that update soon enough :confused: ...do you find any heating prob in yours ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] numerouknow:
if you are rooted then there's no way (at least for now) to reset the knox counter. which means your warranty is void.

all you can do in an attempt to claim warranty is to flash a stock firmware using odin and hope that guys at the service center skip checking knox crap (which is highly unlikely considering the reason knox is implemented in the first place).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mital.ashu:
Is there any way to enter knox mode after rooting the phone????
[Galaxy Note 3 General] numerouknow:
knox mode? sry couldn't understand your question.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] archer797:
[MENTION=4224887]sohebq[/MENTION]

Can you please clarify the following to me before I go ahead a flash MJ6 -

1. Did you just flash that one file as AP using Odin 3.09 (or as PDA in Odin 3.04)?

2. Did you flash India CSC seperately? If no, did you not have issues that in many other threads people are talking about when not using their own region CSC?

3. Do you see Knox counter in Download mode? Can you please post a screenshot of Download mode of you phone?

4. Did you manage to root it? If yes, what method did you use? Did it increase Knox counter to 0x1?

5. Did you flash ILO or SER region firmware?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] japjit100:
Camera works great
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mital.ashu:
Means how can we enter knox mode again after rooting .. it is saying you are not authorised to enter into knox mode????
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
1. There is a thread in develpment. A guy posted odex n deodex of mj6. I flashed from there using odin 3.4 I guess. It had only 1 file.

2. I am from pakistan. Didnt mess with csc. It is still pakistan I guess.

3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498266 see this. It is from s4 thread. I have same.

4. The rom was prerooted. I guess the counter detects the root.

5. The rom was from russian region.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] numerouknow:
I disabled everything related to knox as soon as I rooted. so I am afraid i cant help you in that regard.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] archer797:
Thanks for your response. Referring to you point 3. if you do not see Knox in download mode, then where do you see it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
See the thread man. The guy posted snp from download mode. It says "warranty bit 1".

Which one(ROM/Firmware) did you flash? ILO, SER?

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

I guess this kind of settings are there in CSC file. I am sure this might alter the way number appear as you type them from your Dialer. I faced this when I flashed a different region ROM on my Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nannlp:
You are absolutely right. Went into contacts->settings-> display contacts-> Given name first. Problem solved.no more "," inbetween.

Do you have dimming issue (backlight) ? When device getting hot the screen light gets high and low . It happens when I play pvz 2 every 15 second

Any Indian users who are using the N9005 variant in india? i am planing to get one from saudi..please advice guys.! Thank You.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
I am using one, bought from Singapore .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ritesh_chanchal:
I tried without SD card.. Battery lasts much longer.. and there was no such problem(obviously no SD card means no scanning).. But i tried same SD on other phone (defy+ and canvas HD), It was working fine..

So I assume that SD card is working fine.. May be this SdCard is not compatible with FIRMWARE or is there some culprit app trying to access file which is not present..

I dont wanna buy SD card again, i took it recently.. Will rooting the device will help me?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] doc_fx:
Can you please guide me as to what you did about the region lock? are you rooted yet? any issues you have faced? Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Singapore sets r not Region locked ( most Asian countries have sets without regional locking ) . Check for the relevant sticker of Regional Locking on the box, before buying .

I am not yet rooted, but would root shortly .

No issues faced . SD version is Excellent . My daughter is using the Exynos version, so i have SD & Exynos to compare .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] doc_fx:
Thank You soo much for your valuable time Sir. i have contacts only in KSA who can bring me the phone :( i cant get one from other asian countries plus i have been into HTC and i trust them with hardware, if things go the wrong way i might have to use my warranty for parts replacements since in my personal experience the samsung builds are not that sturdy. Still lets see. if you have any other advice or words of wisdom..please do share. Thank You.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Best of luck . Both SD version & Exynos r good, but SD is much smoother in real life, with much more support .

.......so buy, what u comfortable with .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajat_delhi:
No real difference in the 2. Check comparison video on YouTube. It is worth to get the warranty on a newer device of this cost.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
why?

Actually Exynos version is better in real life..battery life is better in exynos version..sound quality is better..i saw tons of videos on this..anyways, you again started comparing the sd800 and exynos? why r u doing this man?

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

thats true!

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

this is Indian thread and we use exynos version..anyone who have sd800 version should go to other threads..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manojas:
Somebody asked about a user in India of the SD version & i replied . I find SD version better & i said so . U r free to say, whatever u want to or whichever version u find better .

....but, please don't force your thinking on others .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] doc_fx:
okay okay okayyy guys, we are all here to share our views, i did not mean to start a full fledged comparision here, i know both are almost on the same platform, i myself would personally prefer using a quad snapdragon device but as another friend mentioned its not worth losing warranty on such an expensive device..anyways its not the end of the world for us..we know something better will come along in a few months and we all will again take that leap of faith. happy festive seasons guys..and lets maintain peace.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
nexus 5 is coming soon to India with a reasonable price tag..that wud be a good option if you want "quad snapdragon" and love to root and need ROMs..just a suggestion..

anyways,u r right, lets maintain peace, and happy belated diwali and bhaiduj to you:)

i second that.

Surprising thing on rooting N900

Two days ago just I have purchased N900 from UAE. (MI*)

Today just flashed Indian latest ROM MJ1

Disparate to root, Search some stuff but nowhere found to root without Knox trigger, meantime tried Kingoapp but no result, it just rebooting but no root/niether any ill effect on download mode.

Finally rooted using CF Auto root, SuperSu apeared, no error reported on opening it.

No KNOX line appeared on download mode but both status turned to custom

Reflash Indian ROM, And Again status changed to Oficial at both place.

So There is no effect on bootoader even with CF Auto root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cellfrens:
interesting

I read somewhere that the knox thingy changes sometging on the hardware level..and u cant restore its official status..then how did u restore its official status by just flashing official rom? I dont know but is it possible that the whole knox counter thingy is a hoax? and it's not that critical what we thought earlier? ..at least for the exynos version? can you pls do some more tests and give us a solid rooting process which will bypass the knox..

previously I have always followed ur rooting guides for note 2 and note 1.. I'm a big fan of urs..so plz forgive me If I have asked u anything noob-ish..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sohebq:
Welcome doc. Have you really bought n3? :)

Exynos was free of knox until latest mj6 firmware. Mj6 has more secure bootlooder and it brings knox counter.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] numerouknow:
welcome to note3. I am still rocking ur 4.3 leak rom on my note2 with all note3 features. :good:

the following is what chainfire had to say (quoted from n900-cf-auto-root op):

after rooting with cf-auto-root, I flashed stock firmware thru odin to check the status and it turned to official like chainfire mentioned. so no surprises there.

there were talks from the beginning that n900 has knox hidden and it doesnt show up in download mode. even chainfire mentioned about knox in the above quote so I assume that this dreadful thing is in there and might have tripped while rooting.

I picked it from a Shop in hyderabad. Owner is known to me...so he helped me get this offer.

At that time there was 15% cashback offer going on on S4, my friend swiped S4 under this offer on my card and billed me an Note3, I paid remaining by cash. S4 was billed for 41k so i get 6k as cash back and 47k - 6k was 41k that I paid for N3.

Replacing S4 with note3

Hey guys,

I need valuable suggestions from all you guys.

I am based in India. I have an S4(i9500), which i got 3 months back. But, i would love to go for Note3.

I love the stylus, the action memo, pen window, new Multiapps.

Is note3 worth or wait for Note4 or something else? or be happy with S4.

The Qualcomm version (N9005) is consideration, compared to N9000.? As in India, only Octacore (N9000) is available.

Any way to get hands on Qualcomm in India? I have a travel plan coming up. So, Is N9005 worth the wait?

I have a plan to root, may be later.

Please help me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] guyluvsgals:
Guys!

Just was appraised of the fact that upon rooting firmware will be Warranty Bit:1 and the same is hidden

When you update your Rom to MJ6, the counter which was previously hidden comes to the fore front as MJ6 contains new bootloader

thought some guys like me who were not aware of the same be made aware
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PrestonP:
Has anyone of you guys received a new firmware update for the n900 today?

I am not living in India, but in thailand and we also got the n900 here. i just received a software update, but haven't started it yet. I would be interested in the changelog.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] japjit100:
Yes note 3 is big upgrade if you want big screen and spen features

Octa core or snapdragon 800

Both are same in real life usage

In samsung cafe have demo n9005 not Indian version

If you root note 3 then your warranty will be void

If you want upgrade then go for it

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pd1985:
The the stability update and is for the snapdragon model, not for the indian octacore model , check out your processor , if you have got the update it means you have the snapdragon model, the update has also been released for USA verison model whose model no is n900 but is a snapdragon lte version there , this is indian users thread eith the octa core model , till date no upgrades have been released by samsung for this model !!!!!

Do thank id I helped !

This was an ota update

i have following version now after the update:

i don't ;) i wish i had a snapdragon haha

it is the normal exynos 3g version n-900 (international), but as i mentioned before i am living in thailand not india. maybe the update was pushed here earlier then for you guys
