One more question.

If anyone has used Docomo's REPAIR service.

I have some problems with display (probably broken pixels), independent repair shop (not Docomo) said they think display needs to be changed.

Docomo says that if they try to fix the phone, they will send it to maker (Samsung), and maker will upgrade firmware while fixing phone, which I really need to avoid (OS upgrade).

Stupid. Upgrade firmware to change display? But that's what Docomo says, and even though I suspect they don't understand what they're talking about, a dumb thing may happen with Docomo, easily.

Question: anyone has a hardware repair experience, with Docomo? Was the firmware upgraded? Maybe you had an option choose, whether to upgrade firmware or not?

The Docomo shop I went to was kind of dumb but stubborn :silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Frankbrazillian:
I already used the repair service once, when i was on Docomo.... Not only Docomo, but all the other carriers will update the firmware, once you used the repair service. I think its part of some rules policy. There's no way to skip the update.... :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thegreatgasbee:
If you haven't paid the device cost yet, they won't unlock it to the buyer which can be problematic and deceiving if you sell it as sim free. when unpaid I believe they call it red rom aka rom. best to disclose this information as it matters to the buyer.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:
Great work, and truly embarrassed that my workaround was a separate phone and switching SIM card when I need to tether. DoCoMo is making us run through hoops that no other operator in any country I've heard of does. Truly impressive work :-/i'll try it in the near future.

http://bbs.shendu.com/thread-2602827-1-1.html

Here is the link, it's a chinese forum, you need to register first in order to download the rom, then flash it with odin.

If you ask what does it have, i would say i only flash this rom to get the chinese interface and that's all (the stock rom only have English, Japanese and Korean). The downside is NFC not working, it may or may not be fixed in the near future, also the WIFI is not that stable comparing with any other phones.

I can't see why people wants to flash another LTE rom if they have no problem with English interface, just root your phone and sim unlock it with regionlock away if you don't care about warranty, then get rid of all the japanese bloatwares then you're good to go.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] yangyangyanglei:
no choose, i paste it again.....

becareful, do not flash the Dirty rom,a lots of app not working,do not trust..

i do not want to say, [NFC bug 后期修复]this means NFC they have no power and Technology to Solve it，

until now, no body can Solve the nfc & felica with rooted,even sc-02e,sc-04e and so many japan smart,

if u in tian chao (china),may be u can use this,but in dreaming japan,felica and mobileTV is the life of sc-01f,

the Chinese localization rom just can use in tian chao(china),can not used in other country.

ps.(China Mobile Rom always fill with Trojan,Virus...)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Irria:
While the point about viruses and not flashing roms from unknown sources is valid, I, personally, have no use for NFC or one-seg, so I could sacrifice those feature to have root and the ability to remove docomo/samsung bloatware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zanyang1103:
:good: i just bought one ,and i'm in China ,not much use for nfc here , so if this is the only thing i had to sacrifice to get my device rooted ,i would definitely say yes !!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Neoman:
yeah, i agree with you, but it would still be nice if we could root our phone on a stock rom, with that we could put some localization files and get a complete flawless rom with chinese user interface.:o
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zanyang1103:
i'm not a rom maker , don't know how this works .do u mean that once u guys could root the stock rom ,then it is possible to put a chinese user interface in it ?? that would be really dreamy , but i still doubt if there would be anyone work on the chinese localization ,since not much people here at xda need it ...... anyway , hope the stock rom could be rooted soon , then maybe someone at those chinese bbs would do the localization job.:D

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] zanyang1103:
could you describe how you made it ??? or you're just kidding...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
So the Galaxy Note 3 should be receiving a Kit Kat update in January.

So if Docomo keeps up it's end we should get it rather soon.

I would not worry about a root just now. Just hang on Kit Kat is released and we'll try for a root then.

Samsung generally packs bootloader updates and locks into the updates. So when it becomes available. I will strip everything from the update except for the system image and kernel. I'll have it keep the old bootloader and modem, so we have more chance of a root then.

From what I have heard, downgrading the modem will trigger the knox fuse.

So it is important that you do not take the OTA Kit Kat update when it becomes available and wait for a safe Odin update from me.

For now, follow my guide on freezing apps for now. As far as "Docomo bloat slowing your phone", I have no speed issues, and I have hidden all the Docomo apps, so I don't really have any issues, and I rarely see anything in the Docomo interface.

Enjoy for now.

Hi everyone

I am moving to Japan for 4 years in a little more than 1 week, i am planning on buying a Note 3 when im there, but i dont know anything about how japanese data plans are handled, which is the best company who has the best service, etc....

I also do not speak, write or read Japanese

What do you recommend me to do?? What is the cost of a contract Note 3? Should I better buy the international version? Could i get the international version to work with a japanese company like a normal japanese mobile phone? would i be missing something?

thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Irria:
If you ever plan on taking your phone out of the country, then Docomo is better. They offer 3 GB of LTE data per month for about 4000 yen and 6 GB for 6000 yen. If you buy a Note 3 on contract, it doesn't cost you anything. In fact, you will even get a 20000 yen cash back from Docomo (don't know about Au, though). If you get an international version, you will have an easier time rooting it, or flashing custom roms, but you will need to get a more expensive data plan. Also, sending and receiving stuff like i-mode mail might be more complicated, but hardly anyone uses that anymore.

Also, if you don't speak, read or write Japanese, then you will need to take a Japanese-speaking person with you whenever you want to get anything done, since finding someone who speaks decent English requires about the same luck as winning a lottery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:
Just to make a small correction, DoCoMo offers two data plans, one is as stated for 3 GB per month. If you don't do a lot of tethering with your laptop or tablet, this should easily cover your needs. However, if you will connect wirelessly with other devices then the next step up is a 7 GB data plan, not 6 GB. NTT DoCoMo offers an English language support line on weekdays during business hours. The Japanese version of Note 3 comes with OneSeg, this is reception of digital TV broadcasts. As a non-Japanese speaker this might hold limited interest (some programs are bi/lingual such as NHK News). If you do get an international Note you need to be aware that some operators limit access to registered IMEI numbers.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] yangyangyanglei:
hi，nice to see you again.

can u make some guide to help us to root sc-01f?

that is better for us to root .....

thank u!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dbgt:
Thank you very much for your advices and input. I like what I read. I will then stay better with a Japanese smartphone and I will be looking at Docomo, thank you again
[Galaxy Note 3 General] phido007:
You might get better deals at the small phone shops than at the official Docomo stores.

In my case Docomo offered a 20,000 yen gift card with the Note 3. But a phone shop gave me 40,000 yen cash back. Also depends if there is a campaign. And other shops give different amounts of cash back. Even different sales people can give different discounts in the same shop!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] phido007:
I'm seeing that Samsung has already released several firmware updates. Does Docomo ever provide these updates? Are they just slow or shouldn't I expect any at all?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
My old galaxy s2 fit a lot of updates, but DoCoMo didn't push through jellybean at all.

The Note 2 is still on 4.1.2.

DoCoMo release so many phones that it's hard to keep then all updated.

We are likely to get KitKat, then some updates to that. Don't expect anything past KitKat.

Hi ,

Please let me know what version do you use about CWM.

I did root de la vega and Knox is okay . and I try to install Supersu by CWM recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Installing cwm trips knox.

I did it. And after you install root, it just doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Also, I discovered how to install any app from Google Play that usually says, this app is not available in your country, without sideloading. I'll post a guide later.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
If you really want to try CWM and don't mind tripping knox.

Go to http://galaxynote3root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/ and install the SM-N9005 version. It works. Root does not work for me.

This will break your nfc until you put the official recovery back on.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mqywaaah:
Just a quick question, and my apologies in advance if this has already been asked and given a solution as I had no time to read through the whole thread thoroughly but, is there a way for me to change the default keyboard which is Samsung Japanese keyboard into Samsung English keyboard or am I forever stuck with this unless I root my phone? I have no intentions of rooting my phone as I have no idea how to do so nor would I want to learn how. I am pretty happy with my Note 3 as it is except for the said default keyboard. One thing I don't like about it is the space key is smaller due to to addition of the left and right keys beside it. I would rather those keys gone and have a full sized space key to make my typing experience a whole lot easier.

Here is how it looks like.

View attachment 2457212

Hope somebody can help me out. I just want the keyboard similar to my Galaxy S4. Bigger space for my thumbs! Lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:
You just need to change your default language to English. You do that in the settings 設定 menu. An alternative is to install a keyboard app like Swype or Swiftkey.

I am using X-note 6 custom rom.

Very good. Just only NFC is not working.

Samsung Keyboard is good. Many languages is supported

However Japanese Keyboard(Sc-01F) is better than X note.

i have tools for copy from Firmware. I tried copy to app and data.

But It is not working. I think that It needs to more App and data.

Nice to hear that a custom ROM can be flashed to the Galaxy Note 3. Unfortunately I need NFC working because I use the Pitapa App for paying the train tickets. Once you get used to it you don't wanna give up on it.

I also understand that it is possible to install a custom rom and installing some fixes. I am not sure about the procedure. Is NFC working with the custom rom?

I don't care about knox, but I care about NFC. Can someone who has root on stock or a custom rom confirm if NFC is working? An overview of the steps would be greatly appreciated.

And on another note, you can use a 3rd party mail client to access your docomo spmail now. I'll post a guide when I find some time. It uses imap, so it can be accessed from multiple devices.

Well, that's that then. Thank you very much for confirming. Also, the ability to accees spmail from another client will be useful if moving to custom rom. I will be paying attention to your guide.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
So the KitKat roms are starting to be released. We'll likely get this, but don't hold your breath as DoCoMo must update all their crap to work with it.

Kit kat 4.4.2 root

Do you think we'll have better chances to proper root after kit kat update? Since we could never properly root with Jelly Bean, is there really a chance to Docomo users to flash a custom rom to the Galaxy Note 3 after Kit Kat update? Kind of losing my hopes already.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Yes you can flash a Rom.

You will trip Knox and lose felica.

Maybe you can root after KitKat.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] edgaregawa:
I see... I really don't want to lose felica. Do you believe that the cost of root and flashing is giving up felica no matter the OS version? Do you know some other way to activate Bluetooth tethering instead of flashing a custom rom?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Magimaster:
There seems to be a new rooting script for japanese Galaxy phones, and Note 3 seems to be supported:

https://github.com/kbc-developers/make_rooted_system

Requires Linux. It seems to take your stock rom and rebuild it or inject it with su.

I will wait to see if anyone reports positive results.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Getting su into the filesystem is not the issue.

Getting it to work is.

It just simply won't elevate anything.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Magimaster:
You are right. So the next step is to test it out.

I think the script takes care of this by using the contents of the SED directory. I may be wrong, but I believe this is similar, if not the same approach used by the successful root-de-la-vega.

You can also specify what apps you want to skip when the script rebuilds the rom. If this works and is installable even without root, then it would accomplish half of my purpose for rooting in the first place: getting rid of bloatware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
I do not have any drain from docomo bloat. I have disabled what I can and the rest is not causing me an issue.

I use nova launcher and hide the few remaining icons that I don't use.
