[Galaxy Note 3 General] xTPTBx:
Hey Guyz,

This is a rooting and upgrading guide for the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3 SM-N9005 (INTL). This is for people with MJ1 or lower AP versions ONLY.

Please make sure you have the latest Samsung USB Drivers installed. To get it please install KIES or use google.

AP: N9005XXUBMJ1

CP: N9005OJVBMI2

MODEM: N9005XXUBMJ1

After the Upgrade my AP version is:

AP: N9005XXUDMJ7

CP: N9005XXUDMJ7

MODEM: N9005OJVDMJ4

These were my settings when I got my phone. I rooted my phone using the URDLV Method. (Credits go to DESIGNGEARS).

For rooting with URDLV (ONLY FOR MJ1 OR LOWER AP).

Please download the URDLV Script, ODIN v3.09 and SD CARD files. (Attached at the bottom)

Download your FIRMWARE from http://www.sammobile.com

Cook your firmware using these steps:

Also make sure you do not have an External SD card inside.

1). Place the TAR.MD5 file after extracting the Zip to the root of your C Drive.

2). Open up a command prompt in the URDLV directory. To do this, hold the right shift key and right-click on the screen and click open command window here.

3). Input the complete command (without Quotes) "urdlv full C:\XXXX.tar.md5" (where XXXX is the name of your firmware).

4). Wait for the process to complete.

5). It will create another TAR.MD5 file with the name XXXX_VEGA.tar.md5.

6). Put your phone into Download Mode

7). Flash the firmware using ODin v3.09 and placing it under the AP tab.

Now make sure you have adb setup and enter download mode and connect your phone with ODIN v3.09.

In the AP tab just locate your XXXX_VEGA.tar.md5 file and flash your firmware.

8). Reboot your phone. (Very Important).

9). Place the root_de_la_vega.sh files into the Phone Storage.

i.e: Extract the files and place them directly into the root of the Phone Storage (Internal Memory).

My Computer/Myphonename/Phone/root_files

My Computer/Myphonename/Phone/root_de_la_vega.sh

10). Reboot (Very Important).

11). After reboot delete the root_files folder and the root_de_la_vega.sh files from the Phone Storage (Internal Memory).

12). Reboot Again. (Very Important).

13). Viola..... You now have root.

Please note this is only for MJ1 or lower firmwares. I have not tried it with MJ7 or greater firmwares.

Now to upgrade your phone. Please follow these steps to MJ7 or greater.

Please note that for my region MJ7 is currently the latest and I have done it only with that.

Also No, data will be wiped and you will have root + latest baseband and Firmware.

Install Mobile ODIN Pro v3.85 and upgrade the addon and after the upgrade of Mobile ODIN Pro, a popup will come up stating that you can trip KNOX. Disregard it.

Now, you should have already downloaded your MJ7 or greater firmware.

Please place it in the INTERNAL MEMORY(PHONE STORAGE).

Click the "Open File" option and locate your latest firmware. (Please make sure it is in TAR.MD5 Format). (If not then unzip and place it there).

And have the following options checked.

1). Everroot

2). SuperSU

3). Inject Mobile ODIN Pro

And click Flash Firmware.

That's it. Keep your fingers crossed and enjoy.

Once you have gained root and your KNOX Warranty Counter is 0x0. HIT THANKS.

Download your MJ7 Firmware and Flash it via Mobile ODin Pro v3.85. (Download it from Playstore - Credits to Chainfire for this).

Please note that I havent tested upgrading again after this method as their is currently no update for me. If someone can confirm that it still works after upgrading once, I will appreciate it.

This will not update your bootloader :)

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anyone using this guide. If you trip your KNOX Counter then you are out of luck. I can in no way be held responsible. Use this guide at your own risk.
