Mirror

I have mirrored the files for all of you on my site http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com.

Here is the link: http://fs1.androidfilesharing.com/43c0495cc4214840

This single zip file contains Heimdall, Odin, the image file and the CP, AP and BL files. You will have to download the Microsoft packages for Heimdall separately as I forgot to add them to the zip. Hope some of you find this helpful
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
Weird. It says the update from zip was successful. The only error I remember getting was the e-signature verification or w.e it was during the install of one of the two zips.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
when I finally got it to install correctly there was no red writing, all progress was yellow writing, I only got something read writing on installing the sec_csc.zip but it was after the install of sec_csc.zip , other Times when I had the pen input error poping up was when it was signature verification error's

U can add some picture?:D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bailey2408:
evilpotatoman you are the man. I'm guessing maybe the ext.4.img is still uploading? Will only download like 25 to 50 mb and then completes. When i'm back up and running send me your paypal info if you have and i'll gladly donate!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
I'm experiencing the same thing. I used to work for this particular hosting company, and the standard tech support response was "uuuuuhhh.... Web Caches and DNS transversal queues. Check back in 24 hours or 14 Days. Have a good day. Do my survey."

I'm gonna say it's a bandwidth thing, but I used a script to download from dropbox to ftp, if everyone is experiencing the same issue, I'll upload the good old fashioned way.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
My download finished. Took about 20 minutes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bailey2408:
drakey your killing me!!!! this is last file i need to see if i can save my note 3 and use your script!!!! if it fails anyway you can get it to me.. ill donate to both you guys!!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bailey2408:
thanks again drakey for mirrors and evil for the awesome work. After a night of no sleep i'm nearly back to stock. However i'm stuck on step 10 (installing root). I extracted the files to root of internal memory ( 2 files - one is a folder called "1" and other is the .sh file) and when i reboot supersu is not installing and i'm not obtaining root. Any suggestions? FWIW i couldn't get heimdall for the life of me to install (possible driver issue?) but i was able to extract designgears tar mi9 image and successfully odin'ed that and after odining the partitions and applying csc file from external all is well. Just need root to finish. Also if anyone else gets stuck or has similar situation don't take the ota update since you will bootloop again and have to start all over (i couldn't resist- was so frustrated!! thanks again
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
What do u mean of hemdall wouldnt install?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
What is causing the signature verification errors though? So at least I can figure out how to avoid it next time I do have to reset my phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] oldblue910:
Just a reminder to everyone...even if you skip the last step and don't root, your system is NOT 100% stock. There are two files which are modified from their original form in order to provide the root de la vega exploit. In the future, if an OTA tries to patch one of those files, the OTA will fail and that could lead to all kinds of problems.

If you're looking to get your system 100% stock, you'll need to get the stock versions of /system/bin/mobicore-presetup.sh and /system/bin/prepare_params.sh from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49921947&postcount=3

Once you have that, make an rldv.sh script that moves both of the files to /system/bin, then does a chmod to 755 and a chown to root:shell on both files. Put the script and the two stock files on your internal storage, reboot, and once it comes back up, you'll be 100% stock.

Keep in mind that doing this will result in you losing the root de la vega exploit, so if you want to re-root in the future, you'll have to do the whole process in the OP over again.

For users like myself who have zero interest in root, doing what I've outlined here will ensure that OTAs in the future won't fail because something on your system wasn't stock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clip3009:
alright i tried restoring to mj5 from the kitkat leak with no success. I have downloaded all files and flashed them corectly. mj5 files in odin; system.img fails at 95% in heimdal; flashed csc and the other 25800...zip in recovery mode. the issue i am running into is that the phone keeps bootlooping. as soon as it gets past the bootscreen i get:

proccess system is not responding do you want to force close? "wait" "ok"

I've been trying for hours.. I guess I'll just have to stay with the 4.4.2 kitkat build (sigh)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
you need to start here, just verify your downloads or good

[12/29] Restore for MJ5 --Doesn't trip Knox and optionally provides root--

Md5Checker.zip

if you can try another sdcard
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clip3009:
I gave it another go. I verified all files contain the same md5 cheksum as the ones you have listed above. Also I have used a 16 gb sandisk and a 4gb samsung micro sd card. still no success.

I am on windows 8. 64bit

I am using official samsung cable (not 3.0)

I used odin 3.09 + ran as admin

all files matched everything flash in proper sequence as per op.

Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction. I have all files on my desktop. for the meantime i will go back to the 4.4.2 leak. I am just trying to obtain root really but, I would prefer being on mj5 or mi9. shoot some advice over here and help me get back on board. thanks xda members

:confused: Broken Links , please fix

Does anyone have the mirrors to the link . I'm getting a 503 Unavailable error
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Okay, I've spent 2 days (mainly due to my own stupidity - never trust someone else's code) and I'm at the same place as clip3009.

900A, came with MJ5. Windows 7, 64 bit. Tried downloads from different sources (Mega, the link in the OP, etc.) All the MD5s check.

I've used cables that have worked before. I've switched USB ports.

Devices and Printers see it as "Samsung Android", not as a phone. Windows Explorer (My computer) doesn't see it (but it sees my wife's. Her computer doesn't see my phone either. Adb sees no devices (with my phone - it works fine on hers.)

Odin sees the phone and so does Heimdall. In fact the only error I get is 2 missing directories at the end of 2400258.zip, just before it reboots, so I can't catch it. (And the normal 98% error in Heimdall.)

I also get the "Process system isn't responding" error every so often.

I get all the right responses from Odin, Heimdall.and everything else, but the phone acts as if this is all a demo and keeps right on bootlooping as if nothing had been written to it.

All I want is MJ5 back, stock or hooked for rldv, rooted or not.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit. Also tried N900AUCUBMI9_OneClickBin. Got to "NAND Write Start!" then 3 blank lines, then failed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
IMO the quickest way of getting back to MJ5 if you have issues is just to go to ATT device support center and have them reflash your device where you won't run into any errors. They shouldn't give you errors at all while in recovery. If they do, just re-download the files. If you aren't stuck in a bootloop, try getting to the settings then go to general then click on about. Make sure the build version and the baseband version are MJ5. If the build version isn't MJ5, then that means the 2400258 file didn't get flashed at all.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tazman171:
Bottom of the page right before your post page is where the new mirror was listed. :cool:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] andersonpaac:
95% fail

Thanks so much. The server was temp. down. I finally got back to MJ5. Happy to be back here on 4.3 ! Thanks again!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Pandawg:
Wrong thread, sorry
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Well, that's the original problem - I AM stuck in a bootloop - to the point that I can't see the device on the computer. (adb shows a blank list of devices., but I can hear it connecting and disconnecting as a USB device.)

Same problem - the menu, home and back buttons do nothing.

[I can't look, but I can see it getting flashed.

I guess it goes to AT&T tomorrow to see if they'll flash it for me.

The fact that it never shows up as a phone on the computer, and the "process system isn't responding" make me feel that I'm missing something. Some basic file is missing.

Don't mean to insult your intelligence but did you download the Samsung drivers. I made that mistake. Other than that, everything should work on the first try. Also make sure you use a external Sd card. Hope that helps and save your trip to att

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Which module?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clothednblack:
Wanam/security hacks/ fake system
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Don't apologize. I once tried to help a customer to be able to print some documents that weren't printing. They had no power in the building.

Four files in Odin. It sees the com port, loads the files. Tells me to reboot. (I have reboot unchecked.) Close Odin.

Run zadig. If installs the driver. Close zadig. Run Heimdall. Runs the pit file, the fie.img file and it's set to system. Fails at about 95%. Close Heimdall. Catch the reboot and run sec_csc and 2400258.

At that point I should be able to boot back into stock Touchwiz MJ5, right? Wrong - bootloop. Samsung with the rings rotating, the AT&T logo, hold a variable amount of time and reboot. If I clear memory and cache, it'll go from the AT&T logo to setting up the apps and finishing the rebooting - then bootloop again.

Drivers right from the site tonight. It sees my wife's phone. Adb talks to her phone. Tried 3 different size external cards. Store is 5 minutes down the block. At my age, the problem is getting out of bed and getting dressed. Once I'm walking, I've got it made.

Wanam.

To save YOU from a stupid mistake I made, turn Xposed on. Load Wanam. It's in something like security - it switches between Custom and Official, You may have to reboot 2 or 3 times to get it to stick, but once I had it turned on, the next boot didn't have the padlock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
If you hear it connecting as a USB device, press start, then right click my computer and click manage.Then go to the device manager and see if there is any yellow question marks, exclamation marks, or red X in that list. If there is only when you plug in the phone, then the drivers are not installed or installed incorrectly, therefore it wouldn't show up in adb or as a device on the computer. Did you install the MSM8960 drivers through zadig properly?

BTW, you need to go to a device support center and not the retail store for AT&T. They will redirect you to the dsc to get it fixed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Nothing. MTP device shows up normally until it reboots

Yes. I don't think Heimdall would have worked if the driver hadn't installed. Samsung composite device is showing up in the drivers. MTP USB Device comes up to install as it boots, but then of course fails and process system fails to start. I still think that's where the problem is - process system.

Thanks for the guide man, great guide
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] htsl:
Perfect tutorial!

Went threw your guide and everything worked! Awesome work for this tutorial!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
What I would try since the nearest dsc is 2 hours from where you live is redownload all the files(Use drakey's mirror for which ever file you can get off of there) on a different computer and try reflashing the phone. Make sure everything is ran as an administrator(or disable the administrator requirement in users in the control panel). See if that fixes your phone. If not, go to an ATT store and see if they can exchange the phone for you.

IMO, if the process system fails, that means the files needed to start up the system most likely didn't get flashed over.

Also, I checked if there is a dsc in your city(based off of your profile) and there seems to be one.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TTLayland:
Always nice to see that the device I should be getting in the next few days has a working and safe root method. Its a bit more complicated than the method I was used to on my past couple devices but still I am no novice so it will be easy. Thanks for the root method btw! Note 3 FTW

What program to freeze to not get ATT Update?

Finally got it to work!!!! Had to use another computer. Everything went smoothly after that. My question what program should I freeze to make sure I dont get any of the ATT updates. I searched for the answer but cant seem to find it. Also is there any other programs I should freeze. Thanks!!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
You can go to app manager and turn them off or on

settings/general/application manager
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TTLayland:
So this shows custom but I saw someone say one of the xposed frame works can mask/charge this. As long as this can be flashed back to stock for warranty purposes then I'm happy. Can someone quickly yes or no this.

PS. I'm just excited about this phone. It's an upgrade in every direction (minus bootloader) from my dual core, 720p, 1750mah battery, 1GB RAM phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ownmart:
I did this process about 6 times now,

multiple downloads links(throughout the pages) checked md5 sums all good

everything runs smoothly, only get the error with volume for path [/sdcard] and the other sdcard one at the end

Yet it still will not boot, sometimes it gets to the main screen and system wont load, most of the time it just goes to the at&t logo for about 30seconds, then reboots and does it again

I've also tried this with 2 different computers, and 3 different cables, 2 different sd cards, ran everything in admin mode

I got in the situation by doing adb reboot nv backup and system image got corrupted somehow

so DO NOT nv backup

any suggestions?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 147aaron:
OP - Thank you for making this tutorial and also thank you for the thanks.

I also just wanted to let you know that after I did this odin wasn't recognizing my phone in download mode. But I fixed it by reinstalling the drivers from Samsung Kies 3. Just as a heads up so that if you wanted to add it to the bottom of your post so that there isn't a freak out when someone has to use odin again after doing this lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
To Bach415 (and any others who care):

1) My local AT&T store doesn't exist - on paper. So I went in there (luckily I didn't have to step on any paper - just pass the bricks and mortar) and the very nice young man checked the phone out and told me I'd have to bring it to the DSC (I think my chin bounced off the floor about 3 times) - which was about 10 minutes down the road - the only AT&T store listed in this burg. He gave me a writeup on what's wrong, that it's a warranty repair, that the DSC has them in stock and - get this - that the DSC can flash what turns out to be MJ5. (Who keeps saying that they don't have it in the stores?)

2) The nice (I would say older, but she's young enough to be my daughter, even with the silver hair) lady there took the phone, removed and handed me my 32GB SD card, plugged the phone in and went about other duties. After a while she took the phone off the cable and ta-ding. Whirl. Spin. Time wait. Ta-ding ... boot loop.

Since there's evidently a hardware problem in the phone, they gave me a nice new refurb. So I could have flashed the lump of silicon until the heat death of the universe and it wouldn't have worked, (Nothing against the OP - the post assumes that the hardware is working.)

Antutu says 33676. Not too shabby. But that's with power save off. I recall it dropped a little bit with power save, but this one drops to about 26000 (best of 5 runs). Not something I can't live with.

Strange thing, and I'm probably forgetting something (I'd forget my toes most mornings if they weren't bolted on). I run Nova launcher. Have since forever. (That's one reason we have 2 computer rooms in this house - my wife prefers TW.) Anyway, about every 15 times or so, I'll hit back to get out of an app and I'm back in TW. Not a big deal to hit Home to get back to Nova but ... if this is indicative of some developing hardware problem, I want it part of the record now. (And maybe an extension of the warranty.)

Otherwise, other than having to redo half of the phone (which was a good thing - I put GV back in so I can make calls from a local number), a 15 minute drive and a 30 minute wait aren't something I'm going to complain about.

But, even after 40 years of designing computers, I NEVER would have thought that you could break hardware by pressing the wrong key. Even Wordstar had a tutorial showing how (after simulating your screen shattering), there's no key combination that will break the hardware,

Wanna bet?

Thank you all for all the suggestions, but replacing the motherboard isn't something I would have gone along with. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Bach415:
Good to hear that your phone has been replaced. I knew DSC could reflash MJ5 since that's what I had them do to my phone when it was stuck on pen input error. People were saying that it was samsung's device center that can't flash it, not AT&T's device center.

But what if it wasn't the hardware breaking from pressing the wrong key. What if it was your hardware that fails in the beginning since you got it. Defective from manufacture.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
Don't tell anyone, but it was working for weeks, stock. Rooted with Kingo. Wanam worked, no Custom. Then I did what U thought was a backup, but fat fingers must have pushed restore instead, With no backup. Blooie.

But I do thank you for the DSC info, Nice people and they got me on the air again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mdl054:
Hey guys, getting stuck here. Put phone into download mode opened up Heimdall after installing the driver and it says "ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."

Not sure if its relivant but under zadiag.exe it says "WinUSB (v6.0.1.0)" as the current driver even after I tell it to install "WinUSB (v6.1.7600.16385)"

Tried uninstalling the device also tried on another computer
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] clip3009:
Same happened to my phone. Couldn't get it running back on mj5. It's like something is preventing the write of the system to the phone. I go tmy phone working on the kitkat leak 4.4.2 mlg build.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ciberious42:
So I went exploring into zadiag exe to make sure everything is going to work properly, basically running through before trying this method.

I go to the dropbox and I don't see the MSM8960 driver, I'm not sure if I need to be in download mode before this detects or not.

A simple response would be nice ASAP I only have an hour or so to complete this.

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

I turned off my firewall and booted into download mode. This is just a suggesting for future people doing this method... I did this and had to go through the painful process of fixing my bricked NOTE 3.

This is for the "MSM8960" driver for the zadiag steps.

BEFORE STARTING THIS PROCESS AND ENDING UP WITH A BRICKED DEVICE.

-Boot into Download mode.

-Plug your phone into your usb.

-Wait for "installing drivers" (MSM8960)

If you can not get the driver to install, try this. (64x)

Just for testing purposes....

-Enter zadig

-Options

-Click "List all devices".

-Dropdown box

There you should see "MSM8960"

Just a thought...

Is this the same process as downgrading from 4.4.2 KITKAT v2 back to JB 2.6?

Is this the same process as downgrading from 4.4.2 KITKAT v2 back to JB 2.6? I used to be on JB 2.6 but upgraded to KITKAT v2. And now I would like to downgrade back to JB 2.6 because I prefer that rom. :silly:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
easy way is to use odin to install Togetsafestrap ( you should still have them)

when odin reboot press recovery when in recovery reflash your 2.6 rom, then boot back into download mode and with odin install step 3

AP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip

BL_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip

CP_N900AUCUBMJ5.zip

HLTE_USA_ATT_32G.pit

you should be back to 2.6 JB, if you backed up your rom your backup might even work. if you by chance wiped you phones internal sdcard then safestraps recovery might be gone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ciberious42:
When I see help and please in the same sentence... I chuckle.(sorry)

Research all the possibilities before messing around in on a device as expensive as the Note 3.

Download Kies from here and drivers come with it. Download the drivers and try again.
