I apologize for my ignorance, but how do I flash MJ5 with Odin? I've never really tinkered with such a thing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
Step 3 in op. Make sure to unzip ap,bl,cp.

Another thing you can try. If you still have safestrap installed and a 4.3 mj5 backup. Use Odin flash mj5 ap and bl partitions. Reboot. Go to safestrap recovery and restore your mj5 rom. Basically use drake's to get safestrap instructions. Or try this if you don't have a backup. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49629934
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
Awesome! I just did all the steps up to flashing in Heimdall and I encountered no problems and I'm on the AT&T splash screen now! I'll report if I have any troubles.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Is it normal for the phone to be stuck on the AT&T splash screen for a prolonged amount of time?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
First boot does take a little longer. Did you flash the csc and other zip in Stock recovery before rebooting to your system?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
No, I did not place the files on my phone. Can I do it on the internal sd or is it mandatory to do it on the external? If external, I do not have any at the current moment.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
try re installing the 4 MJ5 files with odin from step 3 make sure your MD5 number is good
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
Yep, the MD5 numbers are good. But do I need an external micro sd card and place the files in there as op said to do so? Or is there a way to access the internal storage through the stock recovery?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
Op did state external sd. If your booted into your system. Try placing those files onto your internal sd then flash.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
Okay man, I shall bring it back to a stock rom and repeat the process over. Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
I think recovery looks for external sdcard, but you have no option but to try and see if recovery lets you go to internal sdcard

also this means you did not follow the op instructions ;) and verified the pictures with your pictures, thats where you see the AP,BL,CP files were unzipped
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
what do you mean bring it back to stock? what rom was not booting? if you installed kitkat then you needed to install the 4 kitkat files with odin to get rom to boot
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
The rom that was not booting was when I did the odin flash then the heimdall one. After I rebooted my phone, I got stuck on the AT&T splash screen for almost two hours, so that's why I suspected that I bring it back to stock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
did you ever have a custom rom and safestrap installed and working? or is this work your doing from a stock untouched AT&T note 3 phone
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
This is a stock untouched Note 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
If you haven't flashed kit kat yet. I wonder if Kies would work?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
Alright man, I'll try that!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
Samsung Kies mini can re flash the latest stock onto your phone. Just put your phone into download mode. Start Kies. It should install the drivers. Then it downloads the firmware and installs it for you. I haven't used it in years. I find that it's unreliable and it takes awhile for it to finish. Idk maybe they improved it. But it's an option. Or you can do the one click kit kat leak to get your phone working. Get your micro sd card and do the restore to mj5 again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
I just restored to this because I wiped my device and the restore and rom flash didn't work so I was left without a OS. The question I have is: After using this guide and restoring this, is it identical to the mj5 software that comes out of the box? My Note I bought today had mj5 already on it when I bought it. I'm just hoping that this is exactly the same as what was on it. I guess I would just feel better knowing that I was able to restore completely to factory. I know it may sound dumb but I think I would exchange this just so I could have a restore of the exact software that came on the device and not make the mistake of trying to flash a rom from the 64gb external sd card (which seems to have a problem).

If it isn't exactly the same and I did the OTA to the latest software, would that bring it to factory settings?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
as op states (step 9) this will give you MJ5 , but after your done a OTA will install and bring you to the NB4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YzRacer:
Thanks so much for the detailed instructions and the work that went into this guide! I'll be sending a tip to the OP as this is one of the best guides I have read in a while and I appreciate the time it took.

I have a friend that is on MJ5 and it's his first Android device after using iPhone for several years. Even though Kingo may be ok to use I plan to root his phone using this guide today or tomorrow. Personally I will be staying with HTC after reading way more than I want to about Knox and the new Samsung lineup!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ZOOPidy:
has anyone restored from KitKat using this?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
I understand the post. I was just wondering if the guide brought you to the identical mj5 that was shipped with the phone. I did notice that the keyboard was white once I restored. It was blue when I opened the phone right after buying it. That's why I ask.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
yes. It can be done.

When you bought the phone it probably shipped with M19 stock. Which contained the blue keyboard.

Mj5 has the white keyboard I believe. You'll get an automatic update to Nb4 which also contains white keyboard. There's no going back to M19 stock Thanks to the locked bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ZOOPidy:
Im on the MLG buiild and baseband. I haven't really seen anyone succesfully restore back to MJ5. I am complete stock, no root or anything.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

Did you have the kitkat build and baseband and everything? was it complete stock kitkat? cause I am trying to do the same thing. Just dont want to ruin my phone.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Have you fixed your phone after trying this method?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
Well I've successfully restored back to mj5 from mlg and nb4. Don't need root to restore, Maybe a external sd card. And to follow instructions. There's also Samsung Kies but I've never tried that yet. Next time I downgrade from the leaked KitKat. I'll give it a try.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ZOOPidy:
Alright. I can confirm it worked for me restoring from the kitkat leak. Thank you OP.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
It was on mj5 like I said. I remember seeing it twice.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

I quoted the wrong post above. It was on mj5. I remember seeing it twice.

Thanks for the detailed write-up!

The above link isn't working for me, is there an alternative?

Is the link and download working for anyone else?

(Had to edit the link, forum isn't allowing me to "post" links)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] the2rrell:
as is says MIRROR PROVIDED!!! meaning that it is a duplicate file.

you dont need it, its just the MI9 fix posted as a mirror.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jarhed:
Good to go, Thanks.

Better to check :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jarhed:
Thanks drakey & evilpotatoman --worked like a champ, Win 7 64 on a brand new MJ5.

Still have much to read before selecting a ROM...knoxraid looks popular?

:good:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
Can we use the root files to root the device from stock out of the box without going through all the other steps? I really don't wanna use kingo.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
no because the MI9_fix.img has been hex edited to run the rldv.sh that you have to put on external sdcard, at first boot it inabels root and installs superuser.apk that you use for root access permissions
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Whats wrong with using Kingo?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rawhide85:
Knoxraid kicks ass! I have tried Azure, Hyperdrive, Alliance and keep going back to Knoxraid. [MENTION=4701028]drakeymcmb[/MENTION] has got a real winner and his hands.:good:.His support/updates are the best I've encountered.

Kingo had a bad rap early on as they were collecting device data (for a computability list) but have since stopped. It is clean and painless and we are damned lucky we have the option.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drakeymcmb:
Why thank you sir :)

At&t note 3 done my way
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gumm1worm:
my phones says i have baseband Ver N9000AUCUBMJ5 so i have MJ5 right? Do i still need to do this from step 1 to root my device?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
yes to use the hex edited fix*.Img , it is used to run root script

just use kingo to root
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gumm1worm:
does kingo trigger knox?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
no, I use it a few times
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
So this exact process works to go from KnoxRaid for example back to stock? Nothing special to do?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
Exactly
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
Thanks man!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ZOOPidy:
Yes that is exactly what it will do.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zeroth:
After soft brick my note 3, I restored to kitkat, because I was on kit Kat before, and then I did this to go back to 4.3 and it worked perfectly.

Always use 2.0. I have never been able to use 3.0 to flash anything to my phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] guysmilez:
i am at the point where "Choose update from external" but im booting into recovery and i dont see that option it keeps going to the "Downloading..." screen and the screen before that is just volume up to continue or volume down to cancel and restart. what am i doing wrong here?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
you are using the wrong button combo it should be hold volume up home and power button when you see booting to recovery in the top left corner release them
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Worked like a dream for me! Thanks :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] guysmilez:
ah thank you so much worked
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] benalextaylor:
Stuck in ATT logo after resetting phone. I might have messed up in ODIN or the files failed to copy. After Hemdall stalls at 95%, I hit POWER and VOLUME DOWN and it reboots to OS Download. After removing and putting the battery back in, the phone boots, goes through the Samsung loop and then stalls at the ATT Logo. Obviously, I did something wrong. Now what? Thank you, guys.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
you need to flash the 2 files you copyed to your sdcard in stock recovery
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
You have to boot back into recovery, not download mode. Flash the sec file, then reboot back into recovery mode again and flash the other file.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sikalb:
will this work if im already on NB4 to go back to MJ5? i giving this phone to somebody and its still stuck with some flashed mods and root.

never mind. i bit the bullet and tried. yes restoring to mj5 from nb4 works
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
Yes it will
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mazdamiata210:
I had the same problem, it would not boot into recovery mode. I ended up pulling the battery and then doing volume up + power and that did the trick. I would say I'm rather advanced at booting into recovery or download mode for odin and it was an issue for me too.

On a side note, after restoring back to stock my phone runs great. I get 12+ hours of screen time when I'm on wifi which I have never gotten before. Now I remember why I said I would never root this phone because there's no need to. It works great on stock.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] indiopr:
just tried the restore everything is fine but after i install the sec zip and the 200458 something, the phone stays in the att logo. any ideas?? also in the log after flashing the sec file it appears some red letters saying something about the sd and also happens with the other file. i already downloaded those files again and i tried flashing but no luck. also after installing either file, it automatically wipes the system data and cache
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Give it time at the ATT Logo. I got the red red text as well, just reboot back into recovery and flash the other file. It takes a while on first boot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] indiopr:
ok,ill give it some time and report back but i had doubts about those red text displaying and wiping data.after the wait, the phone just reboots to the same thing
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
I mean, i had the red text but it is normal. Are you following the steps exactly? If you get to the att logo then I think you're fine, just wait a little bit for it to boot and you should be good.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] indiopr:
yes i did followed the steps correctly, it wont boot fully, it just reboot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
So it just goes into a bootloop at the logo?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] indiopr:
yeah exactly, it hangs in the att logo and after some time it reboots to the same logo.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Hmm, mine stayed at the logo but eventually booted up. I suggest you run through the process again!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] indiopr:
yeah i did it,but still the same results
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Hm. All I can think of is maybe try a different USB cable, or when you get to the ATT logo pull out the battery and then put it back in and boot up.

ERROR: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface...

Hi and thank you for this method...

AT & T SM-N900A (Note3) is my device I'm at this point and have failed with same error multi times in multi days.

7) Heimdall and your Note will report a bad flash at around 95% -- but don't worry -- your system.img got uploaded

My error is after clicking start I receive this error every time.

(Have read and I don't see anyone else reporting this so I must ask).

(Status box reads)

ERROR: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface...

and this is there-

7:[87] The parameter is incorrect. Right beside the box 0%.

Could this be a cable related issue (using OEM cable and different usb ports)

I use cyberghost so if Heimdall uses the internet during it's process maybe this is my trouble.

Heimdall looks exactly like yours before I click start

I'm new and lost as to what I need to do to complete this step so I can move on to next step.

Please can you or anyone else advise.

I thank you for your answer and what a great site and community. (I've found)

Also if I have failed to understand forum rules on this post (question) Please let me know.

I have a question to everybody who knows correct way to preserve ROOT once it's achieved.

Where is this information on the site, a link would be ok in house or other.

THANKS TO ALL.

reply

OK, 1st -sorry for time to reply. I've had the page open since I posted this and seen no replies to it so just now I refreshed the page and seen yours.

I admit I'm green at this but with the directions and screen shots along with the twenty times I've gone through this routine I've got the steps down cold, every step done with this guide. Ex: see step one in guide-do step one. Same with 2,3,4, etc.

I run with an administrator account on my PC (I know what they say about this- Not Too). But I guess I'll try opening HEIMDALL with right click

run as administrator and see what happens.

Back to the abc's of the steps of Heimdall my question is - if the steps are not followed RIGHT can one get to the point where I'am now (the

start button) with the same Heimdall UI and selection made as the screen shot shows.

Hey thanks for your reply and if the right click run as administrator works I'll post about it.

Followed EXACTLY as described. Stuck on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 bootscreen. HELP!!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
I had exactly the same problem for 2 days (I don't give up easily). I finally brought it to an AT&T support center and asked them to reflash it for me. It just wouldn't reflash, so they replaced it (and they were apologetic - as if it was their fault that they couldn't reflash it). They guessed at a hardware problem. If you keep trying (different USB cable - some just don't work, different USB port on the computer), you could try that - it's still under warranty. (If you rooted it, boot into recovery and do a factory reset first, so they won't see your playing.) If your local store isn't a support center, they'll tell you where the nearest one is.

It looks like the 2nd link in the download all of these block is broken:

https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA

Does anyone have a mirror?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] graydiggy:
As stated a million times before as well as being clearly labeled in the OP. It is a mirror of the first file download.

You don't need it unless the first link fails or doesn't work.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrklaw:
Thank you very much for clarifying. That makes it much easier.

I would just like to point out that the language in the OP is not at all clear that that is a mirror of the first file. Only that it is a mirror.

The line after the download block says " Put everything except for the system.img on your external SD card "

None of the files downloaded in that block are called "system.img", so I thought the broken link must point to system.img.

I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, I just want to clarify for someone coming along later who may have the same confusion as me.

Thanks again,
