Oops - my bad, sorry, you're right
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alucine:
Thanks for sharing you test with MJ7.

Before update to MJ7, you have root ? with MJ1 ? MJ3 ? MJ6 ?

I have root MJ1 with RDLV and i want yo update to MJ7 :good:, can you explain your steps ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jack Barrett:
With J6 update I had network problems - bad signal, bad data connection (3G) - sometimes became G+ etc..

Now everything is fixed. Strong signal and good data connection.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] geek78:

Firmware - N9005XXUDMJ6 - U.K - SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
I rooted my N3 9005 the cf way. Am I right in thinking I can update through Kies therfore losing root but getting the update?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jack Barrett:
This is J7. Do you read?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Pretty well thanks but all the op needs to do is change the title.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jack Barrett:
That's not a good idea, there will be 100 pages and you don't know where to read about what's new, etc..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tWoBrO:
Personally i appreciate the new threads for every update, or changing the tittle from the previous one. Either one is fine with me.

I have the "Auto update" option turned on but i'm pretty sure it doesn't work. I have manually OTA update the firmware 3-4 times already, and i didn't receive any notification/auto-update once. The only way i know a new update is available is after reading XDA.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Well its how most threads are maintained.

Plus the op can post a link in the thread where you should start discussing the information.

All i am saying is its kinda useless to start a new one for every update since we still have more to come over the next year or so
[Galaxy Note 3 General] npras42:
I think you're in the minority. It's simply easier to keep up to date with a new thread for each release. The only thing I would say is that there would be no need to start a new thread if mj7, for example, was released in other regions.

Mj7 is mj7 whether that's UK, Hong Kong, German, Australian etc.

Maybe there could be a sticky thread that encompasses all the other threads and keeps up to date with new releases.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alucine:
Great, easy steps !!!

Last question, i have MJ1 root, before update, better unroot or i can upgrade to MJ7 root from MJ1 root ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SocietyKiller[GE]:
Nice again a new build.....:laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jack Barrett:
Today in 10 AM my Note automatically started "checking for updates" and of course found a new one. Thats how I knew.

Even though I was rooted I had the notification
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 2b2b:

me staying with root (vega) at N9005XXUBMI7, knox intact, but SIM locked to an austrian provider: N9005MAXBMI1

would a switch here to UK-unbranded J7 give any troubles with that provider lock, providing, I follow exact the steps above, incl. vega?

thanxxx ! 2b2b

Edit:

success - MJ7 with the mentioned step by step guide, multi-csc but csc of my original provider selected. Sim lock is unchanged, as knox!!!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BlueChris:
M8 when you changed csc you phone wiped your data?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ZiadK87:
So from what I understand, if I want to apply this update on my phone (different region/csc), I also need to change the CSC to BTU in order to get OTA updates from now on? Is this in any way related to the system status flag? In other words, if I set system status to "Official" using Wanam will this solve the issue or do I still need to change the CSC if I want OTA updates?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bez54:
Ok so I got the update OTA no root. All is fine but I have noticed when I check again for updates it says this device has been modified! Should I be worried

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 2b2b:
Hi!

After flashing my brewed tar.md5 there was everything intact, but the csc was shown as max. For curiosity I then reset to factory defaults within the bootloader, maybe to get rid of the simlock :)

There was shown 'autoswitching csc' at the bottom of the screen. But I checked the csc - app which showed 'max' .

Today this has changed to BTU.

hmmmm...

Nevertheless Knox 0x0 and newest software, also the branding-stuff is gone finally. root also. happy camper.

Sim lock seem to be it's own game..

Thanx 4 all Your investigations!

Csc:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BlueChris:
Ahhh hmm you did reset to factory defaults.. this is what i try to avoid...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 2b2b:
indeed, some manual work left - with accounts-backup/restore, TitaniumBackup there remains:

. settings

. xposed (only reinstall framework/modules, configs ok)

. accounts (backup/restore to google not worked)

. apex-launcher needed some care

but as I wrote: everything was working after the flash only - don't know, how is the csc-stuff working out after some reboots, without a "factory reset". that's to try - worst case: set up a clean phone ;)

time to send some beer to designgears ;)

cheers ! 2b2b

ps: OTA updates would work - "status official" after csc-change..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] optical10:
Anyone getting sound issues. My "Ringtone", "Notification" & "System" sound now aren't working?

My be a Titanium Backup restore issue but I wanted to check here.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 2b2b:

but I did a factory reset and set then manual the above mentioned in settings..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] optical10:
Thanks for your feedback. Looks like TB screwed the restore of Text-to-speak engines, sorted now :).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BlueChris:
TB Just released update for 4.3.. so better redo all your backups guys if you are ready to full wipe and restore with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] optical10:
Cheers, I'm never sure if I'm on the latest as the update check just sits on the play store without feedback, I'm on 6.1.3 is that OK?

Flashing with Mobile Odin - successful! with ROOT retain. :thumbs:

Mobile Odin - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en

Mobile Odin will trigger the KNOX, only use it if you don't might or already get trigger.

ROM Build: N9005XXUDMJ7

ROM Base: UK

ROOT: retain, but Xposed Framework need to re-install, and done. All settings remain.

Center Clock in Wanam Xposed: Still not working, will FC when end call.

Signal is much stronger for me, at least I get more bar now. :D

Also it is obvious much faster and smoother now. :D :D :D

Fixed Prevention Message

I found this update MJ7 fixed the Prevention message.

Whenever connecting to Wifi I would get the annoying Prevention message created by Knox.

"Prevention information - An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorised attempt to access system in your device."
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JCM800:
Have samsung messed around with the display settings in this update? I usually use the movie mode , and find it not as garish as the other modes. But since updating I'm sure it's now looking a bit more saturated. Anyone else notice that ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] insty:
Can someone dump the baseband please?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] danieljamie:
Look in the modems thread :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdasunny:
Want to ask i flashed N9005XXUDMJ7 with Mobile Odin Pro. Why my Baseband is DMJ4?

Build number ok is DMJ7. Really strange ya?

My Version-

AP N9005XXUDMJ7

CP N9005XXUDMJ4

CSC N9005OXADMJ4
[Galaxy Note 3 General] encho:
Used URDLV and flashed the mj7. On reboot discovered that I have no wifi so as suggested flashed modem and other file separately. Still no wifi. Then I flashed all, including bootloader and recovery, only system.img remained as one from URDLV.

And... against all odds my knox is 0x0, system status official, debranded and rooted. So I guess Samsung made mj7 little more loose :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] poczynek:
Maybe they didn't touch baseband since mj4? Anyone on mj7 which shows mj7 baseband?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Andrewtst:
Mine show MJ7.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BlueChris:
MJ7 is the baseband for me. How you installed mj7? if you did it throw RDLV methos the modem is not included and you must pass it on your own .. you will find it in modems thread in general.

Edit: now i saw that mobile odin... well guys this are crucial work to pass roms etc.. do it with Odin not anything else to be sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Andrewtst:
I also use Mobile Odin Pro, no issue for me, my baseband do update to MJ7.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
Thank you.. May I ask a few questions:

- Did you enable wipe data and cache and wipe delvik options?

- Do you have to wipe or can you flash mj7 on top of mj1 with no issues (FCs, sluggishness etc..)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Andrewtst:
I hate wipe and wipe is not necessary unless the system is not stable, bootloop or slow. I did this all the while for all Android phone and it function pretty well so far.

I never wipe during updates from initial firmware - MJ1 - MJ3 - MJ6 and now MJ7.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdasunny:
Maybe when flashing with MO Pro i wipe and it cannot push the MJ7 Baseband to my device?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
I just installed MJ7 code XSI (for middle east) a couple of minutes ago and the first thing that hit me is the considerable improvement to lock/unlock speed. It's instant now where before it could take up to 1-2 seconds.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
Ok, noticed something strange, at least for me.

Since it was ok to flash stock roms on the same region (XXU), i've risked flashing XXUDMJ7 (BTU) to my XXUBMJ1 (SEE).

Everything went fine, no KNOX trigger, updated well, didnt wipe anything, runs smooth, i connect the device to KIES, and "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via KIES" show on...fine, PDA shows MJ7, Phone MJ7, CSC MJ4 but it still shows SEE rather then BTU?

im puzzled
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
baseband version DXUCMJ3

build numer XXUCMJ7

Why my basband still remains CMJ3

thank u everyone

I used odin3 v1.85
[Galaxy Note 3 General] geek78:
because your CSC is still SEE.....

and off course Kies know that this firmware doesn't exist for SEE...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
That should also mean no OTA's as well. I thought the complete package changes the CSC as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ather:
Did you retain root? Were you using root da la vega?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
I used mobile Odin pro which i bought from play store. It has an option to retain root after flashing using it. But knox will be 0x1
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sh@h!d:
turn off your phone, take the battery out. wait for a while then put the battery and switch it on. everything should be fine now :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tWoBrO:
I did the same, flash the XXU firmware, and the CSC didn't change until I wiped the phone. Only after that my CSC changed to BTU.

FWIW, I did this with a previous firmware version. Don't know if it works the same way with MJ7.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RavenY2K3:
Did you create a URDLV Firmware or did you flash a completely stock version? If it was a URDLV version, it doesn't include the modem (baseband) in the firmware, that needs flashing separately.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
bleh wonder what's taking so long for MJ7 to hit Singapore :/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] YusRyAtom:
I'm from Singapore too, waiting for it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
im using the rom from this site http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900

CP: N9005XXUBMI6

I was literally the first person to root via designgears RDLV method, and haven't updated since.

If I use URDLV and the steps here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47091411&postcount=62 will it wipe my phone?

I'm still really sketchy on all this so please bear with me. The initial RDLV was easy.... but this.... not as easy.

I dont wanna trip Knox and I dont wanna wipe my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] insty:
Thanks, however my baseband is still stuck on MJ2...

Can anyone TWRP backup their modem please?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] poczynek:
Flash the modem twice and pull the battery after the first flash then put back in then flash again.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] insty:
Thank you! Worked perfectly.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] RavenY2K3:
If you're currently rooted using the URDLV method, then yes you can. If not, use that method to get root. Once you have obtained root, you will then have two options available, you can create another URDLV firmware out of the latest file OR it has come to light, that Mobile Odin works without tripping the counter too, you just needed to have been rooted without tripping it in the first place.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:

I know I know, people don't like talking about Vroot and kingoroot but, do they root keep knox at 0x0?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] williamyi:
As long as you are still in MJ1 then rooting via VRoot and Kingo will not trip your knox as reported by few forumers
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nintendolinky:
How about rooting MJ7, will that trip Knox, I have heard conflicting reports.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] williamyi:
If you are rooted with MJ1 firmware, you can flash to MJ7 using Mobile Odin Pro with root intact. Knox remain 0x0. I flashed mine with this method

Im on MJ7 mate, I'm interested in rooting using root or kingoroot as I've heard they root mj7 without voiding knox 0x1
[Galaxy Note 3 General] williamyi:
I have no idea then. But better be careful mate as MJ7 come with a new bootloader which has a high chance of tripping knox
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Kingo root does currently not root MJ7, but they are working on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djrm:
Anyone? Pleaseeee
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GDT:
So there isn't any method to directly root (without triggering Knox) MJ7, right?

I'm on stock MJ7 unrooted and I'd like to root without loosing my warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] williamyi:
Most likely you can. So far this tested method works for N9005 model with MJ1's bootloader. I not sure if it works for branded Note 3 or not.

I'm afraid there might not have any way to root it without tripping the knox due to the new bootloader in newer firmware. As what I know, only Mobile Odin flashing method won't flash the bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antt00:
If you MJ1 is rooted with RDLV without tripping knox probably means you are still on the old bootloader. So its up to you to try and flash MJ7 with MOP. Most likely it would be successful.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djrm:
eek. Thanks for your advice though

You can find this information with the Device Info app.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] optical10:
Yes I agree but I thought it was just coincidence. how do we report this issue to Samsung?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
On the contrary, I've found the battery life to be far better on UDMJ7. I have been getting over a full day out of it with relatively heavy use.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TAEL:
I updated to MJ7 via OTA. It seems my battery usage is increased. Android OS consums a lot. Anybody faced with this issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Nani:
Yes. Huge battery drain with this firmware. I'am already regretting the update ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TAEL:
Glad to see that it is not just my problem. I don’t like to downgrade so I'll remain on this till next OTA update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
Yes, seems like we all have the same symptoms. Android OS tops batt usage.

We definitely need a table to compare the latest firmwares, sometimes firmwares with similar changelogs contain tiny fixes i.e on modems or kernels which could affect a lot on things like performance and stability,
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AjCn:
Same here, battery seems to drain much faster
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BlueChris:
Mj4 modem guys that is included in mj7 firmware is better and consumes more power but system is more energy efficient because of fixes, overall battery is better for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djdavis:
People have said that you can retain root by flashing MJ7 after being on MJ1 already rooted.

I updated with Mobile Odin from MJ3 which was rooted and I still have root. I hope this helps somebody else. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Nani:
I just found out what the issue could be. Seems that the update has turned on the "Use wifi even not connected" option (available through Wifi Menu then advanced menu).

At first I turned off this option (there were 2 choices only at beginning) as it was the source of boot loop issue.

Now as it seems that this option gives 3 choices the default value has been set to "always on" that causes a heavy battery usage.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svyr:
could you please upload a screenshot with the sid whited out.

i only get a use wifi when sleeping option (no, yes if plugged in, always) (always). what were the options before?

and use wifi whenever (which sounds like the one you're describing ) (unticked)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Nani:
This is this option "use wifi when sleeping". Before the update it was checked to "no" and after the update it was reset on "on" value. I checked it back to "no".

[Galaxy Note 3 General] swagatsourav:
I have a question, I am experiencing random freeze where my screen will just free, will not respond to my touches, I was on mi7 rooted it using Rdlv, then used the mobile odin method to upgrade to upgrade it to mj7 in the hope that, these freezes goes away. Afraid that the issues is still there. I think I might have to send it to the service centre. So my question is unroot the decide using sypersu method, will I be able to re root and if yes how. Secondly if they they change the montherboard, nd put straight mj7 on it, will I be abl do of root it again

[Galaxy Note 3 General] TAEL:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
I would restock ( go back to the MJ1 firmware you had) and go to sammobile to see what the latest firmware version is for your region.

If the latest is MJ7 then yes you will have MJ7 on your phone when its returned and you won't be able to root without tripping warranty void.

You can unroot through SuperSU, it is the best method... Or you can just flash the stock rom on using PC Odin, just make sure reactivation lock is off before doing anything...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] swagatsourav:
One trick is if I change my csc to Vodafone UK. It Dosent have anything beyond mi7. Then do you still think they would upgrade that to mj7

Have you guys noticed that nearly 95% of firmwares from Samsung (any device) with 4.3, are branded?

Is this a new approach to updates? are they giving carriers more responsibility?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] raitospk:
what is the reactivation?

how to set it off?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
Reactivation Lock is a security feature to stop someone from stealing your phone then just reflashing another rom over it.

If its on it causes major issues and seems to be Samsung or one of its reps are the only ones who can fix if you stuff up and flash with it on...

I believe its in settings>security but could be wrong. Find it and make sure it is turned off or you will have a major headache....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ash99:
Just wanted to give a quick update. Like quite a few people here my battery life has gone really bad using this firmware off WiFi. Almost nothing left within 8 hours. Also Blue tooth keeps losing its connection with my accessories. Waiting for a new firmware that sorts out these issues.
