Hi guys anyone from China here? Anyone tested on a note 3 N9008V China Mobile version ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TheTAMAS:
Vodafone UK issue..

Mate! I've got a Note 3 locked to Vodafone UK..

It's running on Android Kitkat 4.4.2 N9005XXUENC2

Considering that it's different to the Factory Unlocked version (referred to as BTU) running on Android Kitkat 4.4.2 N9005XXUFNF4

Will it still work smooth if I use the files provided here to Root my phone?.. :confused:

Please guide me..

Thanks :)

I already following few tutorial in past posts that told you to unplug the USB and try another USB Plug. i already tried all of my 3 usb plugs, even change to another laptop.

My steps :

Activate USB Debugging, make sure Kies is not running on my PC -> Turn on Odin3 v3.07 -> Plug my phone in Download mode -> Odin detects my device with blue box -> tick the PDA, Auto-Reboot, F. Reset Time -> Then it stucks.

After i reboot my phone, now it said i have encountered an error firmware upgrade, which means i can't get in to my phone again. But i can still enter Recovery / Download mode.

I have tried using Kies 3 to firmware recovery mode but its not detecting my device (nothing appears on the white box of emergency mode).

P.S.: My phone model is SM-N900

Howdy everybody,

I just got my Note 3 via Ebay and I got the ATT Note 3, however I wanted the TMO Note3. Is there anyway I can get the TMO modems on my ATT Note 3. I did root the phone and unlocked it. but I cant get ODIN to install the TMO files. I dont care about any warranty or anything. I just want my TMO firmware on my the ATT note 3.

Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

AT&T N3 has a locked bootloader - You're probably going to have problems all the way - No idea why you bought the device with a locked bootloader - Tmo isn't locked - If it was me - Sell it & get the phone you wanted to begin with.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
If you can get into Download Mode - Flash TWRP IMG.TAR with Odin - Reboot into recovery - and then factory reset - You can try flashing the Stock Firmware again - Or just flash a custom rom.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] r3dal3rt:
I'm having some problems with rooting and flashing custom recovery. I have a Bell Mobility (Canadian) SM-N900W8. I tried a couple of methods and neither works for me :(

When I flash CF-Auto-Root using Odin, having followed all the steps, the result is getting stuck in a boot loop "RECOVERY BOOTING RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". Tried flashing again using the alternative method (auto-reboot unchecked) and I get the same result.

Then I flashed TWRP IMG.TAR. I was able to get out of the boot loop previously mentioned, but I still can't boot into recovery (vol down + home + power).

Can someone please help me?

Hey man! Were you successful in flashing your Note 3? I had the same problem, though my re-partition was unchecked. My phone gets stuck in boot loop. I was able to get out of the boot loop after flashing TWRP but I still cant boot into recovery. :S
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BossNexusS:
Did you flash twrp or did you do it through Odin? If you do it through Odin.. I took the hlte one it was 7.2.1.0 or something like that.. Whatever the latest one is in the hlte folder.. It should work I don't know why it wouldn't.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] r3dal3rt:
I tried hltecan (canadian) and hlte (international). Downloaded the .zip and flashed it using Odin (PDA button).
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BossNexusS:
That's strange.. You did unzip it first to get the.. .img file right?

Lol sorry thanked that post by accident :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] r3dal3rt:
Dont thank me! I'm the idiot with the problem here! :P

I downloaded twrp-2.7.2.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar. Odin only takes .md5, .tar, and some other format. It doesnt take .img so i thought this "tar" version is the way to go. This is the one I'm using

When I unzip the .zip file, it gives me a recovery.img and a folder called "META-INF".

Odin says "PASSED" and reboots. I get the "RECOVERY BOOTING" and it boots to the phone, not recovery. Powering off and manually booting into recovery does the same thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BossNexusS:
Yeah unzip the zip and I'm pretty sure you add the img file into the pda
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] r3dal3rt:
PDA doesnt accept .img (or I cant get it to). I would have to convert the .img to a .tar
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BossNexusS:
Hmm then that's strange.. I'm not sure what the problem is.. Maybe someone else here can help. Sorry I couldn't help further.

Hi!

I am on last official firmware (SM-N9005) - N9005VJFNG2....

The file cf-auto-root-hltexx-hlte-smn9005.tar.md5 doesn't work.....

Odin shows fail during the flash

I'm not noob.. i have rooted any devices before

what i suppose to do?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] rajnish_1604@yahoo.com:
You have to enable usb debugging opetion. You can download from play store name is 'developer opetion' and after install do enable. If you previously install and not done then you again factory reset by up volume+home+power on button and select factory reset.

Then flash by odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] eliasjapa:
Thank for your support

BUT, I have enabled usb debugging by developer options already.... like I said... I have done this several time... did you see my attachments?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Sorry - But what are you talking about.... You don't download any app for USB Debugging!!!

It's in the Rom already - You just have to enable it by clicking on Build 7 times and enable it!!

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Did you remember to turn the Reactivation lock off?

Also double check that you are using the correct version of CF Auto Root for your device.

If you are planning on flashing a custom rom - You could skip using CF AUTO ROOT - by Flashing TWRP with Odin - Factory Reset - Wipe system and caches - Flash Rom and Gapps (if you are flashing AOSP - just the Rom if flashing a custom TW based rom) - Reboot and enable Superuser.

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faqandmanual/slimbean/120-kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] eliasjapa:
Thank you for your support

I did not know about Reactivation lock stuff... in Odin.... I check PDA only , and the others things I never change... and yes, I am on the correct version of CF Auto Root for my device ... SM-N9005 hlte

In http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ Have the only one... there is no other file for my device....

I will check this method that you mentioned by flashing TWRP with Odin...

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Just make sure that you Turn the Reactivation lock in the stock TW Rom off - BEFORE you flash anything with Odin ?

I would recommend for n00b users perhaps also adding a tutorial on installing TWRP - took me a while to figure it out... Used flashify to get it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] OMG-FFS:
Guys, I think I screwed up rooting my wife's phone, I flashed the CWM recovery before rooting, actually I thought it would root it, but it didn't. Tried to install the SuperSU from the market and it wouldn't run telling me the binaries are missing.

I tried to root it then with Auto-Root and the process is getting hanged up while writing the cache.img, forcing me to pull the plug (unplug the cable) which renders the phone useless (it says the FW update went wrong, bla bla bla).

The only way to bring the phone back is to restart it into the Download mode and flash the CWM recovery again.

Still no root.

(I did the complete opposite on my phone, but it was a year ago so I forgot...)

How do I root it now?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Download the stock firmware and flash with Odin - Flash TWRP with Odin - Make a backup of the stock firmware! Flash either a TW based Rom (root is built in) - Or flash an AOSP Rom & Gapps (also have root built in) Make a second backup.

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faqandmanual/slimbean/120-kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] OMG-FFS:
Would like to avoid flashing a complete ROM, don't want to re-install everything, just want root.

Any other way to root it?

Is the Auto-Root freezing even related to me flashing the CWM recovery 1st?

It is N900 by the way that I'm trying to root.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] OMG-FFS:
There seems to be another problem somewhere... CWM recovery won't work, I still have a stock recovery.

Figured this out when trying to flash a SuperSU.ZIP through recovery.

Must be the same reason the Auto-Root won't flash, there's something with a phone. Her and mine phones were bought almost at the same time and I rooted mine right then (was still on android 4.3) and she's now on android 4.4.2. Damn Samsung locked something up so I can't flash?!?!?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Which device do have?

If you can get into Download Mode - Flash TWRP (If it's available for your device - Make sure to flash the correct version for your bootloader!).

With the new bootloader - you have to flash a different version of CF Auto Root..... If that's what you want to do. Go back to the OP - I believe that Chainfire updated the OP..... I just use TWRP And flash custom rom - done.

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faqandmanual/slimbean/120-kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] OMG-FFS:
Thanks for the reply mate.

I was using the latest CF-Auto-Root for my device, N-900, it didn't work. Not sure about the bootloader but it's one of the latest FW for the country the phone was bought in - Thailand.

Gotta try the TWRP recovery now.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Found a post on the bottom of the page 162 with exact same issue. Reading now so hopefully I fill find a fix for this problem.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

OK, I figured it out.

The guy with the same issue had to reflash a stock ROM to be able to root his device.

I didn't want to flash a complete ROM and loose all my settings and everything, so I tried to wipe the cache partition from the stock recovery.

Flashing CF-Auto-Root went fine after that.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] looking through the last dozen of pages, I've notices the issue I've has is not an isolated occurrence.

I'd suggest adding to the cache partition wipe (through the stock recovery) to your second post, it will help some folks out. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dusty_nz:
Not rooting

Having a similar issue as OMG-FFS

Have just flashed N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNG1_BTU

Previously ran N9005XXUENC2_N9005OLBENC2_MM1 which rooted ok.

Rom flash was fine. CF-Autoroot seemed fine (CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005)

Booted into recovery after flash. Did its root then recover stock recovery etc.

Restarted, it auto applied some apps.

Ran up Super-User. V3.1.6 (46)

How do I test root?

However when I go to apply the SD-Card fix (Write access via the FX tool) I don't get any super user prompt.

It just hangs there.

Phone seems fine apart from that.

Can I use Odin 3.0.9 for that or do I need 3.0.7?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Either or.... But I'd use 3.09 just because it's newer... But 3.07 works too

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faqandmanual/slimbean/120-kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]: Thanks! Then I'm going to try it with 3.0.9. I was confused because somebody in another forum said that you should use Odin 3.0.7 for flashing CF Auto Root and 3.0.9 for flashing CWM, beacuse 3.0.7 doesn't work with CF
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Are you planning on flashing a custom recovery & Rom?

If you are - You can just use Odin to flash TWRP recovery - Boot into recovery - make a nandroid - start flashing Roms... Skip using CF Auto Root altogether...

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faqandmanual/slimbean/120-kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]: Yes, I'm planning to do that. I'm not new to rooting but rooting my HTC One S was completely different (I used a Toolkit for that). But I thought for making a Nandroid Backup via TWRP you need root? Or is root "included" with flashing TWRP via Odin?
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
TWRP will ask you if you want to root (at least it always asks me) but aside from TWRP - All of the custom roms include root built in - On some Roms - Root is off by default - but usually you just enable Developer Options and go to Root Access - Allow Apps and Adb - Reboot and you're done :)

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faqandmanual/slimbean/120-kitkat
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hevy12:
Thanks again. So this would be correct?

1. Start Odin with Admin Rights

2. Put Note 3 in Download Mode and connect to PC (USB Debbuging enabled, reactivation lock disabled)

3. Load TWRP File with Button "AP" and click start

4. Wait until Odin finished process

5. Do EFS Backup with Android Terminal Emulator

6. Copy ROM Zip to SD Card

4. Boot into TWRP

5. Wipe Data and Factory Reset

6. Install ZIP

Sorry, if I annoy you but I want to be on the safe side.
[Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Yup - You can backup EFS with term emulator if you wish.

In TWRP - Backup System - Data - Boot - EFS & Modem - Don't backup cache.

Wipe System - Caches & Factory Reset - Flash Rom (and Gapps is AOSP) - Reboot - Verify that the APN settings are correct for your carrier.
