You should have ODIN.

If you won't mind KNOX (void warranty) and Felica, download SC01FOMUBMIF from Sam Mobile.

(http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=21454)

And flash it using ODIN then flash CWM Recovery.

Once the CWM Recovery gets ready, flash SuperSU and Update SuperSU. Then you'll get root like me so that you will able to remove Docomo things.

I think it's the most simple way to get root though it's the oldest 4.3 ROM, but I haven't get any issue so far.

(To remove Docomo things, you also need some file manager apps with root functions and some knowledge.)

If you want to keep KNOX counter and Felica related things, and you really want latest 4.3 ROM, YOU HAVE TO follow the instruction in this thread (it's little bit messy though..)

Good luck buddy!

Oh, I haven't mentioned!

You must back up all of your data and reset everything before you downgrade the rom, and reinstall your apps after downgrading.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foozoo:
Thank you very much for the very valuable information. One more thing i want to ask. Is there brick risk during flashing? Or if i made the downgrade, if any workability problem occurs, can i return back to current condition that i have now?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
SimmoF,

A question about the SC-01F rooted rom you uploaded to your google drive few weeks ago.

To root, I need only "SC01FOMUCNC3-rooted.tar.md5" file, right?

And what are the files in "SC01FOMUCNC3_SC01FDCMCNC3_DCM.zip" archive? "SS_DL.dll" and "SC01FOMUCNC3_SC01FDCMCNC3_SC01FOMUCNC3_HOME.tar.md5" files? What are they for?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
There's always the risk in daily life for everyone, mate;)

Anyway, you can flash older ROM and back to the newest safely with ODIN, stock ROMs (from SAM MOBILE) and proper knowledge.

I had made my SC-01F rooted, but I wanted more freedom so I flashed AOSP custom ROM... but it didn't work.

So I went back to the STOCK and made it rooted again. Recently I flashed the newest stock 4.4 ROM, but failed to have root...so I went back again with ODIN without any issue.

But you have to mind that you must back up your data from your phone first!

And reset everything before AND after flashing to make thing simple and safe.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foozoo:
Yes it works :) Thank you very much. I want to get out of this Japanese keyboard. I want to erase it and install English keyboard. How can i do this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
I can't figure out what you want to do exactly...'cause I already uninstalled stock keyboard:p

If you hate the stock keyboard even you set the language option to ENGLISH,

1. Go to play store and find other keyboard apps you like.

2. Get the genuine sammy keyboards from stock ROM for international N9005 model.

I know the second option is so tricky and risky so I'll try by myself later, but I'm bit busy for a while.

So I'll let you know 1 or 2 days later.:o

[Galaxy Note 3 General] dfvn:
I remove many bliatware and not dont known about felica. Could you tell me how to check it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
Unfortunately, I couldn't install plain English keyboard made by Samsung.

(Maybe my heavily de-bloated environment prevents the installation, but I don't want to have my device back to stock again now.)

But this AOSP keyboard works well so far.

Unzip and copy the apk file to device, and install it.

(You need some optional settings to install from local source, but I believe you already knew how.:p)

But please mind that it's on your own risk even though it worked for me:)

B.T.W

Great dfvn reported that he successfully rooted 4.4 Docomo ROM at last.

I'll try his method this week end too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hoyagajjang:
Please install osaifu keitai app. If app is working,

[Galaxy Note 3 General] hoyagajjang:
NFC and Felica is not working

My device is rooted. Thank you.

However NFC and Felica is not working.

Do you have any patch to enable this function?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
Hi, mate!

I've confirmed this method. Really great! Thanks so much indeed!

B.T.W.

I had already KNOX tripped away but I think we can't keep NFC/Felica functions alive once the non-stock recovery was installed and can't revert forever.

Anyway, finally I've got root on Kitkat and feel so happy.:laugh:

F.Y.I.

hltedcm-KK-KBC-CWM-v6.0.5.0_r0-recovery can't get the correct time and date. (Is there anyway to set it up?)

So the folder names of nandroid backup are little bit odd.

And nandroid backup stores the data in mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/.

THX again, good job!!:good:

Question

Hi Guys,

I have a question with all this progess.

Will I be able to flash any Custom Rom to our note(SC-01F) once I root?

Would there be any chance we can flash any other rom?:confused:

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
According to my experience, you'll lost mobile connection with AOSP-based custom ROMs.

The only hope at this time is the AOJP-based ROM for SC-01F, but I haven't tried it yet.

(I'm pretty happy with Docomo/Sammy-based rooted ROM even though I lost NFC/Felica functions.)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scratch03:
Thanks for the response

Any down side with using Docomo over other international Note 3 variants? (i.e. incompatible apps, mobile connection, bloatwares)

Also, would it be possible if i installed different note 3 firmware on Docomo?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
Well, sorry for my poor English...but are you asking pros and cons of Docomo-branded Note 3 with Docomo SIM as compared to international SIM-Free version with same Docomo SIM in Japan?:confused:

If so...the cons are 'many bloatwares', 'less firmware-updates', 'battery drain' and 'physically-incompatible with some accessories like case/cover etc...'.

And you can't flash different note 3 firmware on Docomo, 'cause Docomo-branded hardware differ from other international variants.:(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scratch03:
Oh. too bad.:(

battery drain? How so?

Have you heard of anyone working on Flashing a custom ROM on SC-01F?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
Honestly, battery drain hasn't been proved digitally. It's a some kind of deduction considered its zombie bloatwares.

Additionally, many Japanese users are blaming battery issue since they've upgraded to 4.4 from 4.3.

(My SC-01F was heavily de-bloated now so that I can't prove it, but feel a bit more power consumption than it used to be.)

And I heard someone successfully flashed X-note ROM on SC-01F, but I don't know how. (I failed twice and lost internal data:crying:)

Only hope is AOJP right now...I think.

Sometime I blame why didn't I buy international version... but on the other hand,

according to other users, International model and its firmware causes poor LTE connectivity on Docomo network in Japan.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] b1nb1n2012:
Is there any news on root for AU Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] scratch03:
Actually, I live outside Japan so I'm planning to change to a different unit. Since there are issues regarding SC-01F.

Thanks for the help Bro!:D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdaoxs:
Great to hear the Docomo KitKat has root. Wondering if anyone has had success with the AU SCL22? I tried installing a pre- rooted file but stuck at Samsung logo and warms up. Also tried with custom recovery but no go. Unfortunately I've tried too many times and lost my previous data, hence cannot be a guinea pig again. Please keep us updated on progress with AU... thanks for everyone's efforts and input.

As per dfvn's instructions above the new Au SCL22 KitKat can be rooted, I have done so and have attained root. But this means no NFC. Will try to get a prerooted file installed and see how it goes. Write if I succeed. Good luck to others.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foozoo:
Thank you very much for your feedback:) I installed a language pack version for Turkey language by flashing rom. But NFC and bluetooth is not working? Is there any way to activate bluetooth?

Also i found a different language pack rom which is SC01F-CANDY-V1.1.tar. But i could not find this file on internet. Can you upload this file if you have? Also this language pack has Turkish language i think?

guys, are there any methods for rooting my SCL22 (using 4.4.2 kitkat)

on the front page there is a method for rooting but it seems for 4.3

and I want to unlock my SCL22 too, any idea how ?

sorry for noob question :( , got headache recently because it's my 1st samsung gadget, my nexus is a lot easier to customize
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdaoxs:
Doesn't seem to be. I've tried a variety of methods without success. I could install a custom recovery and use the phone normally, root confirmed but for some reason couldn't get super su to work nor exposed, couldn't even access the unlock menu as when I rooted 4.3... reverted back to official rom. Installing a pre rooted image had no success either. We just gotta wait for someone to find a workaround.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bucib:
How can you installed a custom recovery ? I've tried with odin 3.09 and it went well. But I still dont have any custom recovery. Tried many times but same result.

Could you please provide me a link for custom recovery for SCL22 ? :o
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdaoxs:
Check post number 485 above there's a link there. Keep in mind root didn't work for me on AU KDDI scl22 even though custom recovery was okay. Were still waiting for a proper working method. People day it works on Docomo though....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
For those of you who wants to get root on docomo stock Kitkat ROM, and doesn't mind about KNOX and NFC/Felica,

these are the files you need (THX dfvn, you're the man!);

1. Stock ROM for SC-01F ---> SC01FOMUFNF6

Download from SamMobile's site and flash with ODIN if you haven't yet.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32024

2. Custom Recovery for SC-01F(and SCL22? I can't confirm...)

hltedcm-KK-KBC-CWM-v6.0.5.0_r0-recovery.tar (Attached below)

3. UPDATE-SuperSU-V2.01 (Attached below)

Flash the Custom Recovery as PDA with ODIN.

Boot Recovery (HOME + Vol. UP + Power) and flash SuperSU V2.01.

Reboot...

Reinstall your apps if you upgrade from 4.3 and get FC all the time. (it was necessary at least for me.)

That's all!

(Caution: You'll sacrifice warranty and NFC/Felica features.)

I appreciate again 'Great' dfvn so much!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdaoxs:
Thanks for helping everyone Michael. Unfortunately, sad to say it doesn't work completely on my scl22 by AU. the recovery installs root permissions confirmed through the root checker app, but super su can't install binary. Waiting for other breakthroughs.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foozoo:

I may have bricked my phone

OK, so I followed all the instructions in the 2nd post. Got the rooted firmware, got odin, got the drivers to make my computer recognize the phone in fastboot, downloaded everything the post says to download. I did the the PDA thing in odin, everything checked out, and it said Pass. everything was successful. I restart my phone and I get the Docomo splash screen, then a blank screen but the phone itself is still on (I plugged it in to the computer and it recognizes the device, which doesn't happen with a powered off device). I let the phone sit for 30 minutes and it gets warm, so obviously, it is on. I installed the custom recovery, hoping that it would fix the problem, but nothing. I'm downloading the KitKat firmware now, hopefully that will fix it, but I won't know for another 6 hours, since apparently, it's a stupid-slow download speed.

Any advice?

EDIT: I'm retarded and I forgot that I was on 4.4.2. I found the rooted 4.4.2 Firmware and flashed it through ODIN, reflashed the custom Recovery, applies SU update, and I'm good.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foozoo:
I tried to download it many times, but there is a problem with the link and connection to that Chinese website. Can you upload that file here ? so that i can install easily. Maybe you can upload with turbobit or something else. Can you help me ?

Also i have one more question. I found a rom which includes Turkish language. I installed it. Everything is OK. But NFC and bluetooth is not working. NFC is not important for me. But is there any way to make bluetooth working? Is there any patch or something else? Do you have any idea?

Help please!

Hi Guru! Greetings from Nerima, Tokyo. Played a stupid role on my DCM SC01F. I obtained the phone on Aug. 02 while the Android version was 4.3. I let the firmware upgrade to run without paying attention much and without reading any of the posts above and now it is 4.4.2. Then I followed the link in the YouTube which I'm not allowed to quote here and applied on my poor phone. There are three files are used in this demo and they are "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.5-cn(1116).tar", "sgn3_rooting_supersu_v3.zip", & "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip" I separately downloaded a higher version of the CWM file from other location which was "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-cn(1116).tar".

After flashing the first file "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-cn(1116).tar" through ODIN made my phone failed to boot and looped to ODIN menu where the Warranty I found shows 0X1. Then being totally freaked out I again flashed the original "n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.5-cn(1116).tar" and then my phone booted normally! But the recovery menu (which I used earlier on my former HTC Desire HD) was limited in number. Followed by I flashed the rest two files serially as according to the demo selecting recovery command of "apply update from the external storage". Both the files flashes ended up with error of unsuccessful. I can use the phone now but was/am thoroughly disappointed.

Is there any way to finish the rooting without losing my data. Can I flash your "SC01FOMUCNC3-ROOTED-system.tar.md5" to crawl out of this situation? A guide to this semi-stupid would be highly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
Try my post #507, if you are on 4.4.2 already.

Oh, you're right! 3.09 shows "AP" instead of "PDA", sorry.

What's the difference between you and me? :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

I did! and went back to rooted 4.3 until dfvn showed us the way to root 4.4.

The worst issue for me is that we can't use Ext-SD as used to be.

The only way to save data to Ext-SD freely, we must patch with root privilege.

I confirmed that the original hltedcm-KK-KBC-CWM-v6.0.5.0_r0-recovery.tar mentioned by dfvn and the one uploaded by me have same MD5 hash, so I didn't break the file so far.

And I've consciously re-flashed wrong CWM (n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.5(1116).tar), so that my phone couldn't boot recovery mode anymore.

Then again to prove the method, I've flashed CWM the one I posted with Odin 3.09 and now every thing works fine!

Hmmm....???

BTW...I think I backed up everything using adb (not with RECOVERY) on Nexus 7 or Kindle fire HD while ago.

But I'm not sure that backing up with adb requires rooted ROM or not.

I'll check it out.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

Oops! You went to the wrong path!

You know, if you're on 4.4.2 (KitKat) already, CWM for 'JB' (JB means Jelly Bean which is older Android version(4.3)) like "SC01F-JB-MR2-KBC blah blah.." can do nothing with 4.4.2 and will make things worse.

Dear Hamada san,

Thanks for the great information. It works good. Now I want to give it away to my little brother and he want to use Felica/NFC.

Is there anyway to bring it back to Felica working? I think I have to remove the custom recovery, but I do not know how.....

Appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] michael_hamada:
Hi, mate!

Well, as I said before and they had been complaining since very early in this thread, you had SACRIFICED Felica etc.

Explain more technically, Samsung implemented the KNOX counter to recent phones. And as soon as the bootloader or something detects that the Recovery (or kernel too?) has changed, it blows KNOX counter.

And docomo felica app will exmine the KNOX counter was modified or not for some security policy.

Unfortunately, KNOX is somewhat like electrical fuse so that none will revert its status, sorry.:(

(Some are offering rewards to someone who find the method that can make KNOX back again, but none was rewarded as far as I know.)

BTW, I think you would bring back stock Recovery at least with flashing stock ROM again.
