[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
There are basically two simple ways to root the Korean Note 3, one basically rooting, and another having a custom recovery:

1. Install SuperSU's flashable zip file which you can get easily from Chainfire's website. Go to https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hlteskt/ (this is TWRP 2.8.0.0, which is the custom recovery I use the most. If you want to use CWM 6.5.0.0 if it's your taste use this link: http://d-h.st/qvD) and download the .tar file to your computer. Go to your computer, and open Odin. Flash it in download mode and when done boot to recovery. Choose the SuperSU flashable zip file and install from "Install Zip".

2. This is the simplest way so far; go to https://towelroot.com and install the apk. Follow the application's instruction and you will be rooted.

So still no luck in flashing custom ROMs for those of us on the LG U+ network? I'm having the "Mobile network not available" message as well when trying to install CM11.

Please help me.

where can i get instruction for root SM-N900K ?

And where can i get official stock firmware download link for SM-N900k ?

Thanks a lot .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M@31:
For firmwares, try

http://samsung-updates.com/

or

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kyawthettun:
I cannot find any firmware for SM-N900k in that website. thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M@31:
I have never heard of N900K....

What country are you in? That website has all versions, that are available, listed I believe......
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kyawthettun:
Actually not my phone. I ask for my friend's who live in KOREA . I find for him but i cannot find firmware anywhere for that phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RyanYang:
N900K is for KT.

Since firmware for South Korea domestic version are different than others, you won't find it easily in global websites.

One way is to dig into local websites like NAVER cafe. (you should be able to read Korean though)

The other way is to extract firmware while KIES downloads it.

BTW, it looks like the phone is currently MJA version.

Currently rooting this version will almost likely trigger KNOX warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M@31:
If you can read Korean, I use this site for a lot of my custom ROMs (at least I did with my S3).

I have yet to try any out for the Note 3. I am assuming that most custom ROMs nowadays will trigger KNOX.

hi i'm new to this forum. i was wondering if anyone knew if the N900K would, after unlocking the region lock, work in America. More specifically Hawaii and if it does work will it get 4G or just edge
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sin07:
i'm pretty sure all of the note 3 phones sold in korea are region unlocked. i have used my s2 hd lte in the US (chicago), but net10 had terrible data service though calling was decent on 4g. i'd imagine it would be the same. any reason why you would get a N900K if you plan to use it in HI?

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

i have tried both cwm and twrp and both work fine. there had been issues with restoring (especially efs with twrp) but all is fixed now. i'm currently using twrp recovery.

twrp recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2494245 (international qcomm version)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M@31:
From what I understand, region unlocking is fine, IF you first instert the SIM card for whatever country the phone is made for.

So, for the Korean variant to be region unlocked, you would have had to instert a Korean SIM first.......If, you did not, then you may run into problems.

Most phones these days have the correct radios and frequencies for any region of the world, but sometimes the actual speeds and connections for terrible.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Chanyeol:
Thanks for your response! I am studying abroad in Korea next semester for a year and was going to buy a note 3 either here or in Korea so the region unlocking wouldn't be a problem if i bought the N900K. If anyone knows if it will work with 4G speeds back in America please let me know! Thanks

I am studying abroad for a year in Korea next semester and was thinking of buying it up there. I was wondering if i would be able to use it back in hawaii when i return.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sin07:
personally, i think it would be cheaper if you buy it in the states as you will have to pay full price in korea. i have seen note 3 for around $750, in korea it will be between $900 to $950.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] droidan:
Has anyone tried to install n9005 stock rom(system.img.ext4 only) on n900s/k?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sin07:
so i've been using jedi elite v4.5 for a while now and everything seems to be running really well. i have just undervolted the kernel a bit, but i've kept everything else the same. i've gotten some great results, so i took some screenshots today.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M@31:
So you just flashed it like normal?

You think it is safe to just say screw the KNOX security?

I'm asking because it is Tmobile of course, and I have never been able to just straight flash a ROM that was built for any other phone than my Korean variants.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Also, how did you know it would work with our device?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sin07:
personally, I have never sent any of my phones in to be serviced and never broken one so I never had to worry about the warranty. plus, there is a $2000+ bounty in xda to be able to reset the knox counter, so I think it will be eventually done. I'd rather have a phone rooted than worry what might happen if I break it. so I said screw knox. well worth it.

I basically went through all of the different threads and noticed that a lot of phones seemed to be compatible as long as you flashed depending on your processor. so I tried a few kernels that were made for n900t since other users claimed it worked with other providers and countries/regions.

just follow the directions carefully in the op and you should be fine.

however, I actually did a lot more to try to keep the Korean modem by adding a few steps and a bit time consuming... I did a backup of stock using twrp (as it adds you to choose which parts to backup), wiped and flashed Jedi Rom. I created a new backup of Jedi, wiped and restored stock to get korean modem (though the tmobile worked fine). then I used twrp to restore Jedi Rom, but left out the modem so it should still be on stock modem.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] M@31:
Awesome, thanks man.

I don't know why, but I have flashed ROMs and kernels on my SG1, 2, 3 and my tab (all Korean), for some reason, this one makes me nervous. Maybe because it's new! hahahah

I think I will just root it, I am getting excellent battery already and use some of the Korean apps (SK apps), but would be nice to play around with it....

Thanks again for all the info!

There's been quite some few Custom ROMs for the N900L lately, I'm sure there's some in MATCL since I have an S5 ROM on my N900L.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] gatesofortune:
Managed to install the VirtualBox and run Ubuntu after reading tutorials.

Still not able to unpack boot.img to replace the dt.img file

Not familiar with the command line instructions.....i guess..(newbie).

In any case I tried....

was just trying to prepare CM 11 M12......
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M.Nabeel:
Changing the dt.img will not work ...

Atleast it didnt work for me...

What is ur phone model ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gatesofortune:
It should work as Jisoo have consistently prepared the previous CM11 versions up M11 for the rest of us to install.

After replacing the dt.img files u should adjust the offsets by editing the "img_file" .

ramdisk_offset=0x02000000

tags_offset=0x01e00000

Jisoo have explained it in great detail.

Refer to his post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52587048&postcount=240

Even though I know how it's done but I couldn't do it as I am just a newbie....just trying to get Ubuntu to work recently , still dunno how to unpack and replace the file.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M.Nabeel:
I did a 7 hour research yesterday and was able to replace dt.img and offset and address values but phone was stuck at galaxy note 3 logo...... May be the dt.img i were using was outdated ,as jisoo mentioned , it didnt work

I have managed to copy some of the old post from the previous pages:

Try this one (jisoo's post)

<br />

Here's one based on the 03-19 CM Nightly: SM-N900S-cm-11-20140319-NIGHTLY-hlte.zip - 208.14 MB.<br />

<br />

If you want to update yourself, you need to extract the new zip you download directly from CM, replace the updater-script and the boot.img file with the ones included in the zip I linked above, and repack everything into a zip file.<br />

<br />
[Galaxy Note 3 General] M.Nabeel:
Can u do me a favour by telling me in steps what files i have to replace ?

So far i know

1- replace dt.img

2 - change offset value

3- change adrss value ...

4- change updater binary file.. (U just told me)

Just tell me what to do else i will try ..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gatesofortune:
yeah as far I know.....

The main thing we have to replace is

1. replace boot.img

2. edit dt.img (change offset address & offset value)

3. replace updater-script file ( can use from previous CM 11 M11 prepared by Jisoo , from the previous posts)

then finally repack it to a flashable zip file.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
Didn't need to change updater-script - so was able to flash it like the instructions (rom, kernel, then gapps). I did get signal but didn't get LTE - so went to APN settings but says that this user cannot modify APN settings. Any clues?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nambavuong:
in Viet Nam, we dont have LTE, so IDK :D 3G work normal.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
Oh.. My carrier only supports LTE so I need a way to modify the APN. I've tried it on CM11 and LTE worked.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] techcaptain:
LTE working but no call and message.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
What I've heard is that this model should work fine as long as you're not using it on LGU+, as LGU+ uses a variant of SVLTE (simultaneous Voice and LTE) which is not the same as VoLTE and totally not supported by any AOSP ROM. So one option, if you are in Korea, would be to change to SKT or KT, or at least make sure you are not on LTE.

Hi. I wanted to clarify the steps that are needed to modify any existing 9005 ROM for our devices. Please let me know if the below is not clear, and I'll try to be more specific:.

NB -- the samples files and instructions are based on what I did to the CM-11 milestone build, and especially the updater-script varies a lot between unified (i.e. hlte, hltespr, hltetmo all in one zip) vs. non-unified ROMs -- for non-unified always go with hlte/9005 which is closest to our variant.

Like I said, I'm happy to give more guidance, so feel free to post here or PM me. I do have a very busy personal/work life, so please don't get annoyed if it takes me a couple of days to respond.

TWRP for 4.4 N900S

hey guys, [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] has made TWRP recovery for n900s KITKAT 4.4 (i can personally confirm this) http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hlteskt-recovery.img.tar i personally prefer this to cwm as you can select what to backup like efs and modem. he is hoping people would test it on the other korean models (just make sure you have either stock recovery or cwm to flash if it goes straight to download mode).

cheers guys

Can confirm that this version of TWRP works on sm-n900k. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Cruz77321:
Not impressed. Sorry to say this but your problems are not hardware related, it's user related. There's nothing wrong with your phone. Typical iPhone user response to blame the phone because they don't know how to work it.

But to answer your questions, your AT&T Note 3, SM-N900A, LTE doesn't work because Olleh KT supports only LTE1800 (B3), LTE900 (B8). Your AT&T phone's radios only support LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1900 (B2). Try using LG U or SK Telecom if you want LTE in Korea.

Second, you are probably right the most likely AT&T is blocking you from updating due to being outside the U.S. Either download the firmware from AT&T's website, sammobile, or other source, then install via Kies.
