CWM caused nothing but problems for me when flashing, I used TWRP and haven't had an issue since
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eeeeeeeeek:
Ok so I got TWRP pushed, and went to reflash and rom flashes halfway then fails. Redownloading and will try again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] radar369:
Okay..............so this rom WAS going strong (the best rom I've tried so far)..........until I ran into this problem:

Every time I take a picture the phone reboots! I have the deodexed version.......the knox removal zip....the set secure storage to false zip......the beast mode kernel zip and the hotspot zip all flashed! The phone would reboot A LOT more after a fresh install...........now the only thing I can confirm is the camera reboot thingy!

Is anyone else having this problem?! Anyway to uninstall the kernel or any other zip that I flashed?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Did you do a nand in between those steps? If not have you tried reflashing the rom fresh without the add-ons?

No. Update your baseband using the firmware in the General thread. Then flash this ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Try this.if all else fails this is pretty failsafe.

1. Make sure the md5 of the file on your internal sd card matches the one in op.

2. Remove sd card

3. Twrp> wipe> advanced> wipe everything but internal an external sd.

4.reboot back into recovery. Swipe to reboot press no on install root.

5. Install zip.

6. Reboot to system. If it hangs on samsung logo pull battery and reboot.

If that doesn't work...I don't know.maybe...

Try flashing a Odin copy of official MJ4 first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AddamsonFlint:
Hey everyone-

When trying to flash the deodexed version from from TWRP recovery, it fails and says there is no MD5 present and the zip verification fails.

I checked the MD5 sum of my download on my PC before I flashed it and it was fine, so I don't know what the issue is. Should I be using one of the new CWM recoveries? Otherwise, I'm sure there's something else I'm missing.

I was really comfortable flashing and running custom roms after 2 years on my E4GT and knew it inside and out. But I certainly feel out of my comfort-zone on the Note3. A lot has certainly changed. After all the emmc BS and issues with touch-screen recovery partition issues from GB to ICS for instance, (and the flood of bricking to come) I was way apprehensive when I saw the TWRP recovery was all touch-screen. But it is pretty impressive.

Anyways, any input on my issue would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Same boat, bro. I've had this phone about ten days. Beast phone with better tools, new learning curve. Your time on the E4GT will serve you well, though. Your ramp time will be far more swift, and your ability to sort through problems will be just as solid.

Follow the leaders here, they are outstanding guides.

See mjcollum's post one above yours, and the other one below mine.

I'd say no to CWM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Make sure your using the newest TWRP recovery. It seems to be the best supported/most stable by far. And the touchscreen interface is actually very nice.

I've been flashing custom roms since the days of the original Evo. I downloaded the deodexed of the rom in this thread, checked the md5 and flashed, wiped, wiped, flashed, etc., in all of the ways and combinations possible, and this bootloops my phone also. :confused:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] radar369:
You mean back up?! Because if so than no! Didn't think it would have been safe to do a nand backup when the rom was rebooting from jump! So if I just reflash the rom I should be straight? No more rebooting?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Devtodi:
from MD4?

Okay, I've been away for a while, my GS3 still running MD4. If I flash MI5, can I immediately flash MJ4? I have nandroided so no worries there - just wondering, if I flash the odex version, do I still need to flash firmware? I am running CWM recovery - should i have problems just flashing odex roms?

Thanks. I hope it's worth is as I plan to get a GS5 as my next phone in 4-6 months when they come out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Wipe at least system and caches.

Reflash rom and test if still getting fc.

If yes fc. Then try again and also wipe data.

If no. Then install mods 1 at a time checking along the way.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

You need your baseband to update.

Flash the official MJ4 with Odin first. Then can be sure on full mj4. Then can install twrp ect after.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Devtodi:
So I don't need to bother with MI5 then? Just Odin Stock MJ4, install TWRP and flash Freeza's MJ4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
That would be the best way.skip mi5.

Go straight to mj4

Twrp

Then anything u want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Devtodi:
Unfortunately I don't want to wipe my phone - is there a way to get to MJ4 from MD4 without wiping data?

bootloop fixed

Not sure what went wrong in all of this, but I downloaded the stock tar for odin, then flashed that..then I cleared cache and all. Once it flashed everything back to stock, I then flashed TWRP this time and used that to install the odex version. I'm now up and running. Bootloop resolved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chaosrecords:
I took some of the apks from /system/app on my note 2 running jellybombed and moved them to my note 3 and installed.

So far Jellybombed UI switcher works great.. i put the phone at 320dpi and it looks like 240DPI did on the note 2, and theres no issues with keyboards. Also the wifi Tether app works great as well.

Im having issues getting knox disabled. I want SElinux to be passive. I use luckypatcher on a couple of apps for ads because adblocker dosen't seem to work on a few apps.

Im taking the entire deoxed rom now and loading it on my note 3 and im going to start moving more stuff from the note 2 and see what works.

Just need a kernel to fix the Knox.

Also MyBackup Pro works without the Titanium bug if you have issues and cant wait for a new kernel or titanium backup fix.

Im too afraid to try to flash a different kernel because most are carrier specific.. I see theres one already for a different note 3

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RaymondPJR:
Aha, pardon my ignorance! So this is definitely a Sprint 4.3 leak or final release. The reason I'm asking for such detail is I and others hope to pull the library files from it that enable Google Wallet to work. We over at T-Mob have a 4.3 leak (which I mistakenly thought was KitKat) and apparently the old library files from earlier versions of TW (4.1.1, 4.1.2) do not work to enable tap and pay feature in GW.

Just got a Note3!

Ok,

So I read all the pages here. Have rooted, previous GS4, GS3, GS2 many times. Tripped the know flag on the GS4 :) But....

I am gunshy on this one. I paid out of contract, and dont want to mess it up. use for business so had to take the MJ4 for the voice issues, meaning I am stock MJ4. Want to stay stock but with root to disable just a few items.

What would be the SAFEST steps to take, to root.

What steps in order for a stock out of the box with OTA MJ4 already.

What version of TWRP? (I looked on TWRP site and see multiple spr versions).

I guess I should stay odex (close to stock)

will this trip knox?

I only saw one other post about MJ4 stock so I want to be absolutely sure of the steps on this one.

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
Use kingoroot most have had good luck with it not tripping knox. If you flash TWRP or any recovery it will trip knox. Your best bet is to just root the stock version and then use ADB to push any mods you want to use. Of course you can also use a root file explorer ot Titanium backup to delete stuff too.

Personally I wouldn't worry to much about tripping knox. I think several people have posted Sprint's terms and rooting does not void a warranty. I do however understand the concern. Just my 2 cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] weightlifter63:
Does everyone have a lot of knowledge about kingoroot? I have read stuff that its not open source, who knows if it has malware, spyware etc. (i personally do not know), so I was/am unsure about it. If we have any experts on it that say its pretty save in those regards, I may give it a try. It "seems" too good to be true. This is whats making me question it, fom the following cnet article comments:

"The Kingo method is completely questionable, since it has to contact a server in China and the developer doesn't explain why, and where is you update about this security issue?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
You can always use vroot or even de LA Vega method then.

As far as being safe I don't know but I used it and haven't had any I'll side effects that I know of. I guess you will have to weigh the pros and come for yourself.

Odin?

So if I do not want to do anything but root for now, can I just place this in Odin PDA slot after a factory wipe on a factory MJ4 phone? Any detailed steps? If I can, will this alone trip knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] weightlifter63:
Anybody? Would like to try this over the holiday, and would like to be sure. I don't need to backup I can start fresh. Just would like to know for sure if I can take this stock rooted tar, place it in odin on my FACTORY MJ4 with stock recovery and load it.

Will it work for sure and not trip the Knox flag? (I am still under my 14 day return).

Will I still be able to update PRL, New modems that come out etc?

Any steps I am missing?

I assume,

1. remove SD card

2. Factory reset

3. Odin tar in PDA slot (any version? reboot checked? etc)

4. reboot and thats it?

5. Download SuperSU, Busybox? or is it included already

All I want to do is to be able to disable some bloatware with TB after root. No ROMS at this point. So pretty much stock just without connections optimizer, sprint ID, ant stuff that cannot be turned off normally.

Again just want to be sure I can actually do this.

mike
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
If you have factory MJ4 no need to flash anything in Odin. Since you already have the stock setup just root it with one of the Knox safe root methods. Such as Vroot kingoroot or even de la vega ... de la vega does require a flash in odin .... With a Knox safe root method you will be good to go. Just don't flash a custom recovery that WILL trip knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] weightlifter63:
Well vroot looks like its in chinese too.. so, staying away from that, and de la vega, only has M13 listed. Oh well, I guess I will wait for more to get their black friday sprint Note 3's with MJ4 so more will be in this position for an easy (and safe) solution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] weightlifter63:
looking for a definitive

So, is it not possible to simply take this stock rooted tar, place it in the pda slot of odin on my stock MJ4 and load? Any other steps if it is? any dangers of looping?

Cool, so if I flash from my current Rooted MI3, I'll have the MJ4 ROM and kernel but not modem & bootloader, right?

Is there a MJ4 modem file I can flash through Odin that keeps the bootloader at MI3 or MI5 (non-Knox bootloaders) and updates just the modem to MJ4? On the Galaxy S4 side of things, we've been flashing new modems (e.g., MJA, MK2) while keeping the bootloader at MF9 (non-Knox bootloader). :D This method retains Knox at 0x0.

Also, will running MJ4 ROM and kernel with MI3 or MI5 modem cause Wifi and/or 3G/4G LTE problems?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Flash Skunk Ape file from bootloader, reroot, reflash TWRP, flash this.

Neither build flashes firmware, nor can either be flashed from Odin.

As far Ias I know, every version of the Note 3, MI3, MI5, MJ4, has had the Knox counter integrated-- there is no pre Knox Note 3, like there was, with the Note 2, and S4. So you can odin MJ4, and get the latest firmware, and rom. But, it's my understanding, that you can't downgrade, once on MJ4 (I may be wrong). I haven't kept up with Knox safe root, on MJ4.

Have you tried the Skunk Ape1 route? Could be your best solution. Seems like you have some issues that aren't being resolved by flashing roms. If clean installs of new roms aren't working, this option could fix things. Your EFS could be the culprit.

I would suggest that prior to going this route, you back up everything, and obtain confirmation from a dev.
