Complete stock problem trying to update to 4.4.2

I have been skimming thru looking for keys words that pertain to my problem and I think its about time I go ahead and chime in with my issue. I apologize if I "skimmed" over the answer. I was working just fine earlier today. I notice that I went I clicked on my software update it wouldnt update. So I decided to unroot via "the app that rhymes with Bingo" as well as SuperSU, wipe cache and wipe/restore. My thinking is that It would release whatever was preventing it from performing the OTA 4.4.2 update. However, after the final reboot I noticed that the custom lock was still on. This made me think that I wasnt completely unrooted. So then I tried to root via ODIN. Failed. I then tried to go back to "Bingo" it failed. I finally found the .pit file along with BL, CP and AP and I finally got rid of the custom lock and what looks like the stock rom but not I am getting all kinds of process failures and I still cannot update my OTA. So I tried this link and I got all the way to loading the .pit and .img file and when I hit start it immediately says fails trying to connect.

Right now I have a pop up crazy phone with seems to be a partially loaded VERY unstable stock rom with the inability to root my device. Its very frustrating.

I can finally get all the way to the point the device downloads the OTA update but when it will fail to install during the reboot.

I also get Prevention info and detection info error messages that I cannot get rid of.

KK has root now

For easyest way Install N900AUCUCMLG 4.4.2 KitKat by designgears

you just then need the NC2 kernel

then root
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jefferson da Silva:
freeze

did the kermel using ogin, now freezes on samsung galaxy logo, already wipe the memory/factory.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
did you do a factory reset before you installed KK?

I do not know everything you did, but I say go here and start again
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jefferson da Silva:
unlock

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
No thats a AT&T sim lock, search AT&T and call and ask for the unlock code
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Jefferson da Silva:

is there a way to flash n900a to n900t so that i can install CM11 room on it ??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
when You boot to download mod do you see A3 or do you still have A2

I read that you said hemdale could not download pit file, Mine gave me that error when I took the A3 bootloader
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sikalb:
AP SWERV: S2 , T2 , A2, P2

thats what mine displays
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Well that's good. Some where here on xda in the at&t section

there is a recovery backup if you can find it then you could install it with safestrap. I remember posting the link for others. I will see if I can find it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mumbo jumbo:
did a mj5 restore (this is like my 3rd time all prior with no issues) this time after my restore, the system tried to pull an update, this failed at about 20%. I notice now that when I try to get to KK using SS that two things happen

1. when in DL mode if I reboot it goes back to DL mode instantly (I have to pull out battery to start again

2. now odin will not recognize my note 3. I've had the same cable which has always worked.

I'm guessing something from the failed update got stuff messed up. Should I try and wipe system and start again with the mj5 restore? Please note that I can use the phone, but the above keeps me from getting back to KK

much appriciated

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ealston4:
Ive been at this for two days. I was on the MLG 4.4.2 KK and didnt like it. So after some searching around i came across this thread. Downloaded everything and verified the MD5 of each file. Followed every instruction to the letter and was able to restore back to MJ5. Rooted and run into problems using safestrap. Followed the same instructions to restore and no go. I get all the way through to flashing the sec_csc get an error here and an error when flashing the 2400258 on my phone. What am i doing wrong??? I catch it before it has time to reboot. I mean it worked perfectly fine before. Now im getting an error when in recovery (the yellow words scrolling up and red error words) one being STATUS 7. When the phone reboots im on MJ5 BASEBAND and MI9 Build Number. Im getting Direct Pen Input has stopped about every 5 seconds. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] posersk8r:
Try dl'ing the 2400258.zip again. Also check your external sd it may have been corrupted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] vanemburghj:
Carl,

So do we skip the BL in the ODIN phase or are we stuck with NC2_Bootloader_N900AUCECMLG_VER_2 and just deal with having root only with no ability to flash custom roms?

Thanks, (Sad thing is I did have my coffee and it still took me a full 10 minutes before I realized your pictures and good and bad was the answer......)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
So you were running NC2_Bootloader_N900AUCECMLG_VER_2, that has A3

that Thread tell you at the bottom of OP along with Face_Plant's video how to root and install safestrap, you first have to install the NC2 KERNEL for TowelRoot to work

then you can install any custom N900A rom
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HaMMeR-MaN:
Dumb Mistake and need help

I was on a KK rom with SS 3.75 and NC2 leaked baseband, decided I wanted a clean start so wiped everything including data. Did not think that I would lose SS when I wiped data but sure enough did. Now I am trying to start from scratch, back to JB then up to KK. Thing is I get to step 6 and I get "ERROR: failed to download PIT file!"

I have done this before so I am now puzzled. I tried several times. Any thoughts?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
you sure you do not have a A3 in your download mod screen?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HaMMeR-MaN:
Yep. AP SWREV S2, T2, A2, A2, P2

Going to try and download the MI9_fix.img.ext4 again just in case it somehow got corrupted. Used it before just fine though.

Downloaded all files again and seems to be working. Fingers crossed !!!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jreed3786:
So....once I'm on this MJ5, how can it be returned to AT&T???

How do I get things EXACTLY back to MJ5 stock to return to AT&T? It won't update to NC2 ...therefore, how can it be stock and untouched????
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
If you do not have a A3 in your download mod screen then you just download the files from OP and forget the mirror link .

or I have his files all in one zip here.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jreed3786:
But if it's stock, why won't it update past NB4?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
did you ever have root? and remove any files?

you try this site?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jreed3786:
GOD bless you! Why didn't I ever run across this site in all my time on here!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Themajesticking:
Big big big thanks to the OP and Carl1961 for uploading that conclusive zip file!! Cheers!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] _Vengeance_:
I must be the only one with the driver issue. I do not get MSM8960 in the drop down list. I see "Samsung_Android" twice and "MTP."

Any reason as to why I cannot see that driver listed?

EDIT: Nevermind. I am an idiot and forgot it had to be in download mode. Disregard that. :P
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
Pls!!! Help needed!!! N900a

Hello, I made a mistake many days ago and I'm still stuck with the solution. Thing is, I have a N900A, and a friend of mine told me to install CWM, but I didn't know that the bootloader was locked by AT&T. Now I have those warnings as you all can see in the pics. Then I thought flashing JUST the BL with the file at the beginning of this thread show do the trick but it didn't, still getting both warnings.

Now, being a little bit bold, I opened the BL file (BL_N900AUCUBMJ5.tar.md5) and realized that inside the file, there isn't the 'recovery.img' unlike other ROMs I also compared against to. Then I started thinking, maybe this is why flashing is not working, because there is no 'recovery.img' inside the .MD5. file. So I thought, if I use the 'recovery.img' from other ROM, like the MI9, put it inside the .MD5 file for the MJ5 BL, would it do the trick?. Maybe I'm talking non-sense here, that's why I need you guys.

Another info about my phone is that although it is from AT&T, I use it in another country, Peru. Also, it has the MJ5 rooted, in order to unlock the phone, the guy changed the IMEI, which means I have 2 IMEIs, one at the back of the phone and other dealing *#06#. Also, the same guy did "something" to the phone because it was getting LTE for moments, then nothing, then 4G, now it is working smoothly. I don't know if I tripped KNOX or the guy did it, but I actually don't care.

I'd do pretty much anything if it doesn't mess up/lose my IMEI and the signal thing the guy did.

Thank you in advance for your time and help, it is much appreciate it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nschneider350:
NB4

I've been through this 4 times now, everything seems to go right but when I try to do the AT&T software update to go from MJ5 to what I am assuming is NB4 it fails 25% in. I've tried doing the last step which gives root and without and it and nothing seems to make a difference. I don't think I am missing anything? Its showing MI9 for the build and MJ5 for the baseband. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get the NB4 OTA to work? I also tried sideloading the NB4 CFG (renamed it to ZIP and flashed it in recovery). My ultimate goal was/is to get to kitkat and then root and put on FireKat, very frustrating as to why this isn't working.

Thanks,

Nick
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DirtTrash:
I was just "forced" to upgrade to NB4 from MI9. I lost my root also as every "rooted" app is now stating root status is no longer. All I have done so far is do Factory Restore from the restore menu in Settings.

Is there any way to get back to MI9 or am I stuck on NB4?? Also, is it even worth it to revert back to MI9?? I'm not all that familiar with the AT&T NB4 update so I don't really know. All I know is I must have a fully functional ROOTED Note 3 and be able to install ANY app that needs ROOT access.

Please someone help. I have PTSD pretty bad and have spent the last 24hrs being pissed off at everyone around me for nothing that has to do with them. If you have it as bad as I do then you know just how badly I need to get this resolved. Thank you all so much in advance for your help.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
no you cannot go back, NB4 is bootloader A2, MI9 is bootloader A1

kingo should root you
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DirtTrash:
And from my research it sounds like I can get Kingo from the Play Store. If not i'll go to the site you provided. Thanks much for clarifying.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
You will never get a root tool from Google play.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DirtTrash:
I tried Kingo and it stated "NoSupport" during the root process. Is there some other version I need to be looking for??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
When your in download mod what is the info.

You'll have to use an older version of Kingo. 1.1.8 works for me! Its somewhere in the comments. I have also quoted that here in a previous comment, if you can find it :)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
Don't worry about it, it is suppose to fail at 95%, just keep doing the steps. You are fine
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Do you have A3 in your download mod , that's the error we who or on A3 NC2 bootloader.

If you do the this thread will not work. Check my signature for fix.

no, A2

in DL mode it shows an A2 in the RP SWREV:

I did everything. Only question I have now is>

My Baseband Is MJ5 and my build number ends with MI9. But I did all the rest of da steps. Is this okay or shouldn't the build end in MJ5 as well? Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
It won't cause any major issues, but to complete the restore, you'll have to run through the update.sh script in update.zip
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
I did but something is missing. What did you set your permissions on > I changed them to match most of whats in there

12) Move apply_patch to /system/bin using a root explorer or ADB. Make sure the permissions are set right
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Owner: root group: shell -rwxr-xr-x (0755)

What's the output in adb when you run "sh /sdcard/update.sh"
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
Okay, I just redid those steps and copied and pasted the commands in ADB instead of typing them.

Every thing work MF. Thanks again for your help. I will be donating to you sir. Your awesome for helping noobs like me.

I might need to flash the MJ5 Modem. My network is sowing that no smoking sign sometimes and wifi has to be clicked on again with password after each reboot. FYI....Thanks. oh. And I think I can flash the modem with Odin and it's all good right? At least I saw it here somewhere. Just want to be sure
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Roundtableprez:
the links for the files dont work and my phone wont stop bootlooping!!! need urgent help please!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
I suggest using hiemdall for flashing individual partitions. I like the ease of use and not worrying about which slot in Odin to use. I'm glad i could help!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
I just checked the links and they appear to be working. Which files do you need?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] fabiooli:
I did. But the phone is still unstable, so slow and that pen message all the time. Do you believe I should start all over? I stopped on step 9

I did. The phone now turns on but bugs all over, specially the pen message.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Anthonok:
cant even get passed step 3. odin just sits there forever and eventually says FAIL!. zadig doesnt show the msm8960.

edit got that far now.

heimdall doesnt run. it says msvcp110.dll not installed. even though i installed it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seetully:
anyone have any other mirrors for download of the image file...its not working for me!

at the first link the download stops at random times and the second link doesnt go faster than 200kb/s

sorry about the post before lol. but now i have a new issue. after following this method odin no longer recognizes my phone. am i the only one?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Fabiooli- one of the images from step 2 wasn't flashed correctly. Try from step 2 and repeat

Anthonok - on heimdall, go to the last tab and select detect device, then back to the second tab to select no rebootand start

Roundtableprez - try connecting to a different USB port

Seetully- godaddy blows. I applied at dev host, and will reupload there when i hear back.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Anthonok:
heimdall doesnt even open. it continues to tell me the .dll file isnt installed but ive installed it over and over
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] evilpotatoman:
Try Installing the other visual c package (32 bit or 64 bit)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Anthonok:
wtf that worked thank you!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seetully:
ok thanks man appreciate it..phone is soft bricked @ the moment until i can get that img file..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] fabiooli:
Worked just fine after downloading the files again! Thank u so much. Now I'm wondering if I'll keep through step 11.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
In the details says that Heimdall will fail at 95%. If done this more than twice, it will always fail at 95%. Just close Heimdall and do the next step. There is nothing to be scared about. I'm also on A bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Teufel Hunden:
yeah it says it will fail AT 95% not 95% of the time.........

that being said mine wont even get past the pit file no matter how many times i try or re download the file.

i would try the next step but i cant even get my phone to boot!! past the galaxy note 3 screen at least.

even after odin it wouldnt get past that splash screen

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
Install busy box and make sure it said it was a successful install

also for JB you need safestrap 3.72 3.71 (thanks [MENTION=5300329]K-Alzwayed[/MENTION]) it has the JB boot files
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tong1213:
I made sure it is successful and I used SS 3.71. Is that ok? I even tried 3.75. Still not working

3.71 is for JB. 3.72 and 3.75 are for KK.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tong1213:
I tried 3.71....its not working
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
I think you should upgrade to kitkat from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2838117 then download towelroot from towelroot.com then root your phone. Install busybox from the playstore (and make sure to install it from within the app itself as well) then install SS 3.75 or 3.72 and try it. No going back to JB after that. Just a warning.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tong1213:
Can I just upgrade using the files in the link you sent me and Odin? Is it the right way to upgrade?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
[MENTION=5980901]tong1213[/MENTION] Just odin the first 4 files in odin and you'll start fresh. Make sure the files are in the right slots. It's very easy. Just boot into download mode and connect your phone to the pc and load the files. Make sure to install samsung drivers first and use the use the same port on your pc at all times.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tong1213:
Why nothing happens after I click start.....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
your driver is not installed, or your not in download mode

your screen should look like this, the com port bluishgreen

Samsung Drivers

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Yup. Like Carl said. Make sure all what he said is done and also that little box in the upper left corner has to be green blueish and has Com in it (which means odin recognize your phone. To go into download mode hold power button+volume down+home button all at the same time and wait for a few seconds and then when that screen with the little Droid shows up hit the volume to continue.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tong1213:
Got it! everything is working right now.!!!Thanks man
