[Galaxy Note 3 General] akshayadv:
Would anyone suggest me a way to root my INU Indian Lollipop rom. Also, if it trips Knox, would there be a way to get it restored to "0", and if yes, would it remove the root. In other words, can root access and knox "0" co-exist ?

I also want to know that if one roots the phone, does he still get OTA updates while rooted ?

Possible KitKat back

Hey guys, Im now in indian lollipop version (INU). Can I go back to kitkat now? Its a non rooted device. If I flash Kitkat via Odin, what will be the result? Pls reply...

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
It shouldn't cause issue. Maximum you can get error is odin may fail to flash(at stage of sboot) . In that case simply Reflash lollipop and then flash cwm and then stock based cwm flashable Rom you can flash without issue.

In case you have kitkat nandroid then simply flash cwm (same on which you made nandroid) - Reboot to recovery - wipe data and restore nandroid.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Cyrax-001:
you need to pull out the battery for 2 or three minutes , put it back again and enter the recovery mode , it should be fine , if you had the same stock recovery screen ... just flash the custom recovery again from the download mode and don't forget to pull out the battery .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr.ketan:
Here is definitely working solution for this error

While flashing cwm you should Uncheck Auto reboot option. Once odin pass flashing - disconnect device and reboot device to recovery with three button combo power +home +vol up

Now you will have cwm

Guys,

Please don't install "Galaxy Lockscreen Effects" on KitKat (4.4.2), that I shared few pages back. When I installed it on my device running KitKat, SystemUI keeps force closing...!!!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] soumen.sam:
Please advice

I’m pissed off with this lollipop. My phone was great, now it has:

# lags everywhere.

# since yesterday sometime its showing “contact has been stopped” popup

# when playing Asphalt 8 it was not smooth, sometime it has lags.

# Skype not running in background properly when other apps in use. This is due to higher ram use.

Please advice what to do. Does factory reset solve these issues. I don’t want to do so, as it will take long time to get all settings back to its position.

Also how to get back the last kitkat version which I had before this.

If u don't like L5.0 u can flash KK through odin same processes. Will work fine

[Galaxy Note 3 General] drheart:
guys

after seeing all these discussions , the big question is

SHOULD I UPDATE TO LOLLIPOP ??

:D:D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Vishnu pv:
In my own experience, I say "NO". You have to wait for more stable version (5.0.2 or 5.1).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
Why would anyone try it? Rovo clearly mentioned the updated build fixed some stuffs for AOSP ROMs, nothing has been changed for TW ROMs, so same bootloop issue persists!

Depends on what you prefer. If you prefer better battery life, some tweaked app looks (you know full screen dialler, calculator etc.), whitish backgrounds, some fancy animations then go on. But if you prefer a stable more OS, with custom kernel support, Xposed compatibility and can give up on battery life then stay with KitKat. In my opinion LP is still unfinished, yet I am using it cause I can't fathom darkish backgrounds.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratnaveer Singh:
yupp, and even it that look for youtube videos and necesaary reviews then only update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
Di you think samsung will even give us those updates ? We didn't even get 4.4.4 and just got so called stability updates for 4.4.2 which in turn ruined battery life & increased ram usage.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Vishnu pv:
I think we will get some more updates. Im sure. BCoz, 2+ year old note 2 even going to get Lollipop update. It came with 4.1.2. then got 4.3, 4.4.2, and also going to get 5.0. So definitely our note 3 will get some more updates bcoz, our device still most powerfull device.

Hey if i have acr csc ....does samsung care will update my firmware to ins or inu? Or i have to flash through odin....

I am confuse about firmware i have baseband N900XXUENG1, and its showing in sammobile as indian firmware, but in samsung ifo app csc showing ACR and csc country GHANA.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] satslu:
ACR csc code represents Saudi Arabia. Samsung releases official update on different regions at different time. So far, Samsung seeded 2 regions only, Russia and India for N900. As long as you have the right model, N900, you can download INU firmware from sammobile and flash it through odin provided that you can't wait for your own region OTA updates which could be tomorrow or unestimated time. Nobody can tell when too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilsdouble:
I am quite sure we will get 5.1 within a couple of months. It's already been rolling to Nexus devices, so its just a matter of time OEMs will update their phones. Also 5.1 will be the stable LP release, so Samsung will do hard work to make it available for our phones, and then that should be the last update, officially. I personally think they should skip 5.0.1 and 5.0.2, no point in wasting time behind those IMO.

Degradation of Note 3 vs S4

Guys,

Today I tried to degrade my friend's S4 from Lollipop to KitKat using Odin. After flashing, I did full wipe and cache. Then it booted successfully. But imei (baseband) went to null :( . I tried again, but same result. Then I flashed Lollipop again, then got imei back. But I did the same steps for my note 3 to degrade lollipop to KitKat without any problem. I'm wondering, whats going on... !!! I dont understand.. Guys, do you have any idea? Please leave a comment...

Thanks,

[Galaxy Note 3 General] hapticc:
Haha its brice is about 45000 at launch and it will drop to 35-37k after three months. Thats how samsung works. Note 2 was priced 39990 at launch S4 was launched at 42500 so 45000 is not that much for note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 General] XDA HellHound:
If that actually is the case I would definitely buy first day...And samsung never drops prices so quickly..s4 dropped by 1k in a month (not sure but something like it)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] eyan2011:
It's official like i mentioned earlier there will be a launch event taking place in New Delhi on Tuesday,17th September at 12:15pm after that we can start pre ordering the note 3 and get it on 24th September.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Oneiricl:
For the record, it doesn't matter what the MRP is, the phone will be available slightly cheaper.

The OG Note released at Rs. 34,990 or something like that, but I picked one up for Rs. 32k within the first two days of becoming available in Mumbai.

The Note series is normally about 2-3k more than the previous S series phone. (When the Note came out, the S2 was 32k on Flipkart IIRC).

Even now, you can see a clear gradation in pricing for the S3, Note 2 and S4 (on Flipkart, again) -

S3 - 28000

Note 2 - 31500

S4 - 36000

That seems to indicate that the Note 3 would come in comfortably at about 40k. And mind you, you'll probably be able to get it for slightly cheaper that the official price.

I don't know if the same will hold out this time, but I'm hoping for it. Either way, it's not at all likely that the Note will release for more than 45k.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] StylishMafia:
