[Galaxy Note 3 General] zard:
So if I flash XSP with Odin on desktop, I won't trip Knox right?

After that, can I use MOP to root without tripping Knox and the rest of the stuff?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] VTR1000SP:
my understanding is odin flashing stock firmware wont trip knox...the rest u need to read up more. my already 0x1 on day 1!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
nice... never knew that... when i upgraded to mj7 i downloaded xsp then i re-downloaded sin because i was afraid it isn't compatible :D

so if i use MOP/odin method to flash to KK to keep root and not trip knox, will the current carrier bloatware be removed? just curious. because i can always remove it since i'm rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] VTR1000SP:
i did not follow method to root without tirgger knox so i cant answer u. rem my fr day 1 already 0x1 so i dont read other ways & care.

Hi, I came from 4.3 rooted but untripped knox firmware. Now I have updated to 4.4.2 Singapore XSP firmware but have maintained to keep knox intact and root using MOP to flash firmware and PC Odin for flashing bootloader. My problem is, whatever I do, the keyboard and pen input keeps force closing. I have tried reflashing, reset and data wipe. I used the bootloader from the leaked firmware as I have no idea how to extract the bootloader from the firmware. Did I do something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

And also, if anyone knows how to extract the bootloader from the firmware of have the bootloader for Singapore firmware, can you please give me the link or share it please? Thanks!

Check out the link I posted above. I've included the bootloader files from the Singapore firmware.

But proceed with caution, I'm not sure if you can write to your bootloader again without causing a trip.

You can get the Singtel firmware from Sammobile, then use the bootloader files I supplied in the previous post. They are virtually identical with Starhub's.

Finally I see KitKat for Singtel. But I'm still reluctant to update as I can't imagine I'm still not rooted yet, darn MJ7 since day one!

Does anyone notice a small issue during roaming? From note1/2 with data roaming off, I have never been billed with data roaming. But with note3 4.3/MJ7 I was billed with about 10-70kb of data each time the phone switched to roaming. And yes data roaming was set to off.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zard:
Tried many times, gave up. Found a mega link with XSP NB4, so downloaded from there and used odin 3.09 to flash. Same thing happened for last update as well, KIES and OTA kept saying updated. BTW, before last update, I was on Singtel stock rom (OTA updated along the way) and without root. Now with NB4, still stock, no root.

Seems like this update still haven't solve the third-party file managers or apps to write to extSDcard. Was hoping for this update to solve this issue, rather disappointed.

Anyway, I decided to wipe cache partition and wipe/factory reset from stock recovery, and restoring my apps using Helium and Mybackup Pro. Don't think it will change the situation but just wanted to be sure.

Yes. I wrote this on Mirror's Thread post #97:

Mirror on MEGA Host on OP => XXUENB4_ OLBENA3_XXUENB1 XSP whit 10 CSC to Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

It is called XSP but have by default (may be error) the XTC to Philippines.

Not have Your XSA, only this:

GLB, MM1, SIN, SMA, STH, THL, XME, XSP, XTC, XTE.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

He have XSA only on /efs/imei/mps_code.dat. This not depend from Rom without wipes. But on /system/csc must have always XTC by default, this Rom not have XSA.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dolgogi:
I know it won't be XSA since it's not Ausralian firmware.

But I was expecting XSP.

I have wiped data & cache twice but still getting XTC.

I'll try again later as I have work in 5 hours and need some sleep :p

Thanks for the help!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
You will have always XTC. You have XSP from Singapore (may be) if, after a full wipe, You flash the Rom and choice at first boot the Singapore language.

Make like this after root:

Whit Root Explorer copy the files from /system/csc/XSP/system/csc/contents.db + customer.xml + others.xml + sales_code.dat (and more if are there) and paste it on /system/csc replacing the oldest XTC by default.

To validate all this must wipe data + cache + dalvik on a costumer recovery if You have it. If not make wipe data + cache on stock recovery, but this wipe Your internal sdcard.

At reboot You must begin by Singapore language (from XSP by default now), configure whit this language, and after change to Your.

To see if all good use the Shell Terminal Emulator from Play Store, type on it:

getprop ril.product_code must have SM-N9005xxxXSP. (xxx is a personal code from device).

If not XSP, after a reboot this must be alright.

Sometimes I make this and work well.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dolgogi:
Thank you for so much info!

I just noticed I can use the *#272*imiecode# code to view and change the csc code too.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dolgogi:
Strange. But it worked for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
Well, I think now because not work for me. On /system/csc I delete always all CSC, stay only my csc TPH folder and the files from it by default. To have more space on Memory Rom.

Then the *#272*... not work because not have more csc's to offer the change. Must be this.

Sorry and thanks by the idea.

- flashed xnote 3

- all seemed fine and then discovered that i can call out but the other party cant hear me. I can recieve calls but again cant hear the other party. Didnt face thia problem at all before.

- downloaded and flashed omega rom thinking that the previous rom was faulty

- same issue with calls persisted

- wiped everything and flashed stock rom via odin

- the problem still persisted. However o can recieve calls via bluetooth headpiece.

I really cant find any help on this on the net. Am really stumped and am at my wits end!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] zard:
I've not rooted my Note 3, so my suggestions is based on my past experiences with Note, Note 2 and Nexus 7(2012).

1. Look for the latest CWMR or TWRP and try again. Do a factory reset before booting to recovery. Do multiple wipes of system, dalvic cache and data. Flash custom rom and gapps if there is one. Do another wipe of system, Dalvic cache and data. Reboot. If you get stuck on boot, force a reboot.

2. Flash a stock ROM. Check if the issue is resolved.

3. If with stock ROM is good, try step 1 again.

Good luck.
