Sorry for the VERY noob question...

Regarding flashing the MJ5 files via ODIN in step #3 - Does the phone need to be in Download Mode? Or simply powered on?

Can you advise as to how long this step takes?

Thanks a million.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] skylinegtrvspec:
yes to flash the files corresponding to odin like on the picture
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] greg25:
Odin mode
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TeldenW:

btw i want to thank the people here for helping me on everything thank you ALL THANK YOU!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TeldenW:
Do you plan to upgrade from MJ5 to NB4?? Then to NC2 (official Kit Kat)?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] skylinegtrvspec:
maybe later, but for now i will wait ,
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TeldenW:
After I flash the MJ5 files via ODIN (in download mode), I get a success screen in ODIN, but my phone isn't restarting. I'm stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen.

Is this normal? Do I just boot right to download mode and continue?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] skylinegtrvspec:
the first time i did this it booted normal all the way ,after a second try going trough everything because the first time failed thats when i went in right to download mode

You have all of your drivers installed right? (kies) samsung drivers

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
It's the MI9_fix file... are you restoring to go to kitkat?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] AllTheWay:
I'm in the same boat as you. I had to root in order to update to the latest KK build. I am unable to use ISIS. I will probably wait for a root so I can installed Xposed mod to hide root from ISIS or find a way to downgrade so a 4.3 build so I can update again without root.

Moral of the story. After rooting to push the files I should have unrooted before doing the update.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
if you updated the NC2 kitkat , you cannot go back to any other , bootloater is fused to number 3 NB4 and MJ5 is fuse 2

Will this method work downgrading from the the LEAKED KITKAT Firmware?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jeromekobriger:
Can't upgrade to NB4

I've followed the directions from top to bottom several times now, and I can't seem to get it to update to NB4, either OTA or sideloading. It always fails with "error in sideload package.zip status 7"

I've googled and searched the forums, can't seem to find a definitive answer. Anybody have any ideas?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
Looks like my heimdall dont work anymore. What do you mean of extracted mi9 image and flashed it. Please explain because i might have to do the same thing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Don't do this. You won't be able to root and your phone will get caught in a bootloop due to an invalid inode pointer.

Make sure to run zadig.exe every time, and ensure the winusb lib is reported as the libusb driver, not ssusbd(or whatever. Starts with ss though)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jmbneaf:
Great thread!

So the advantage of doing this is getting the MJ5 firmware, keeping Root, and not tripping Knox, correct?

I'm on M19 Root De La Vega, so this is an option for me?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
lol too late, i already did it and kept getting force closes on boot, but i applied the csc and now it works fine.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
The official OTA is an option for you if you really wanted it. Since you have a down-gradable sbl and modem, however, I would suggest staying at mi9. MJ5 is a small update. Honestly, the only changes that matter are cosmetic. The majority of it is security "enhancements"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
do you have the samsung drivers installed ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Use a non-root explorer and check your /system/xbin folder. Whatev you do, don't put the stock root_de_la_vega.sh file on your sd, you'll be eating bootloops for breakfast.

That method is stable enough to run, and if you want to keep it and lose that annoying knox notification, just unzip the attached file on your sdcard and reboot.

im going to flash xnote right now. i just rooted with kingo

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

dude this is impossible to root, nothng is working?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
It's the partition error referenced in the OP :p

You sort of have root access through the .sh script, but if you try to write anything to xbin, you'll bootloop. and if you can't remove the .sh (or rename it like in my script) you'll bootloop.

The only way to restore root is to flash my modded img with heimdall
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikeyhim:
Can somebody help?

Because I saw this method it will generate a hybrid MI9 on MJ5

Of course the modem is MI9 too.

I wonder at that moment it will be successful if I use Regionlock away, because it fails on MJ5
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
I'm sorry - I wouldn't know the outcome of that. I am not sure with you can downgrade the modem.bin file from MJ5 to MI9, but you could try it with heimdall. (I don't guarantee knox 0x0 though)

Here's the modem for MI9

The only thing thats MI9 in my original method are the system files.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikeyhim:
what if i stop at step 10?

after rooting my phone and stay at a hybrid
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
[MENTION=2322344]evilpotatoman[/MENTION] Do you have the Samsung drivers installed? Can u check by going under programs, on your pc.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
I do. And KIES. When I need to switch from odin to heimdall and heimdall to odin, I open up my device manager, right click on my phone in dload mode, and uninstall the device (but don't delete the driver)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
Pic? Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Like I mentioned, everything that MJ5 is about is restrictions. Once we OTA the device, there aren't too many options for us to revert to an earlier set of firmware.

Everything except the MI9_fix.img.ext4 (on your device, this file is the /system folder) I've provided in the OP is MJ5. I am just not sure if it would work. You'd need to "try and see" if the mi9 modem.bin flashes successfully in heimdall.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
Can u please breakdown, EXACTLY the process when you prepare to use hemidall, I really want to get back to developing knoxout, but need my phone rooted lol. :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Sorry -- I'm on my 'nix machine right now :crying:

here are the steps though:

At a command prompt, in the Start Search box, or in the Run box, type the following command:

mmc devmgmt.msc

Right-click the specific device you want (it would be at the veeeerrrryyyy bottom of the list under 'USB devices' if you're stuck on the heimdall drivers), and then click Uninstall. You can also double-click the device, and then on the Driver tab, click Uninstall.

Don't delete the driver, just uninstall the device.

Then, at the top of the Device Manager window, click the "Scan my PC for Changes" option, and it should re-install the samsung driver automatically if your phone is plugged in.

then, start zadig.exe, check the "display all devices" and select the MSM device from the dropdown. Make sure to install the WINusb driver (at least, that's what I use without issue)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] faslane:
Im saying When I first updated to knoxraid 3.7 or whatever it was is that I screwed up the SS order and used the MJ5 and heimendall method to go back to stock 4.3 JB. Then I redid everything and got back to KR 3.7 and then up to most recent. I've never done any official KK updates. It could be true you can't go back that far but I don't know as I've only had to do it once when I first heard of KnoxRaid so I can't confirm or deny it's possible. I believe you will have problems if you've done the OTA updates but I never have done any. Hope that helps.

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

Correct. I've NEVER done an official Ota update and believe this is a requirement to be able to go back to stock 4.3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Make sure you aren't plugged into a USB 3.0 port.

It will never detect and flash properly if you are.

If you are not, change ports. Preferably a back one if using a full rig.

When I open zadig.exe and select the dropdown menu "show all devices", MSM8960 does not populate. Any idea why it wouldn't, and is MSM8960 the name of my device? Is there any fix for this?

Thanks for the reply

I have indeed tried each time while I was in download/odin mode. I still haven't had success yet, but will attempt on a computer with windows7 (currently using vista, usb 2.0 ports, stock samsung usb cable). I did have another question though: were the files I put on my external sd card were supposed to be left as .zip files, because heimdall can handle them? Or, do I need to extract those files before placing them on the sd card?

brief history:

-rooted with kingoroot

-installed safestrap, flashed xnote rom to stock slot, reinstalled safestrap

-attempted to return to stock, via this method: droidviews website, how to unbrick samsung note 3 ATT device (sorry, can't post hyperlinks yet - basically downloaded & flashed mj5 files via odin- ap, cp, csc, left bl off per instructions, because I'm downgrading from xnote kitkat to stock jellybean)

-phone bootlooped, could only boot to download mode, not recovery

-have completed steps of this guide up to heimdall section (including flashing ap, bl, cp, pit)

-can now reach recovery mode, after flashing mj5 ap, bl, cp, & pit, but zadig will not populate MSM8960 (phone is in download mode)

-will not boot past samsung galaxy note 3 screen w/ 'custom' logo & unlocked symbol, unless I select download mode or recovery mode

I would suggest that you include a note at the start of the guide to use USB 2.0 port. Last night I was using USB 3.0 port and couldn't get past Step 5 and 6 even after I switched to USB 2.0 port. I was struggling for 3 hours to resolve issue.

This will give you a stock MJ5 system. You can choose to stop here if you don't want to root.

10) Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard (NOTE **my script removes Knox apps). Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.

This leaves you with a rooted MJ5 device.
