About your answers.

1.

My native language is portuguese.

Clean just can be a "clean" thing. But a custom rom based on stock rom also can be "clean".

When the custom rom is just without bloatware, for example.

So I do the question again, answer if you really can help me:

Have to be a stock rom from sammobile? Or can be a custom rom 4.4.2 stock based?

2.

"Samsung Drivers" is a "vague" sentence". "Samsung Drivers" can be a lot of things. And also can have a lot of versions of it.

This topic is old, so I can search for some "Samsung Drivers" in entire XDA that can be the "right" "Samsung Drivers", but can be in a wrong version of it. And it didn't work.

So I gently request the file again.

3.

Nothing to say, guy...

4.

Since that time, was launched a lot of versions of EFS Professional. So the new one can not to work. I need to know what the version that was used here. I'm not asking aimlessly.

5. Ok. I will use CWM and not TWRP. And I ask if I can use the last version of CWM, cause I think is more easy just to find the last version of CWM to be used. Isn't so easy to find a CWM that "only" works in Kit Kat, but not in Lollipop. Well... :good:

6. Ok. I will use this exact SuperSu. And I will not to download one at Play Store (cause there the app is updated). :good:

I just put the file "SAMSUNG_N9005_FIX SOFT BRICKED" unziped at microSD.

Then I was to recovery, select -> mounts and storage -> mount system -> mount/storage/extsdcard (i didnt find the exat thing posted by the OP). And i also didn't know why to choose mount system and after mount/storage/sdcard, if both options are in the same screen... and is note one inside the other.... well, but i did what was said...

well, and i dont know why to chosse mount/storage/exsdcard... if this storage dont appears in my computer....

And at the file called "ADB_fastboot" that I found with Google, I just hold shift and click with the right buton of the mouse and select "open window of control". and just tip:

adb shell

su

then i tip the first line...

dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (and i learn that i cant just copy and paste it!)

and give that error of no such file. its cause the file ADB_Fastboot is in Desktop of my PC?

AND I ALSO ACTIVATE USB DEPURATION, that I think is necessary, but the OP didn't say that. What more is missing?........

What I'm doing wrong?

Well, if no one teach you how to read, how you will learn to read?.......... im not god.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adywizard:
Have you copied those files on your ext SD card? It gives you an error message because it can't find that file or maybe you've typed wrong string. Also you have to mount ext SD card in oder to do that.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syzygium:
No problem in first post , i googled missing files myself without spoon fed and fixed my null imei.

About "dd if=/external_sd/mmcblk0p1 " step

/external_sd/ could be /extsdcard/ , /sdcard01/ (when I fix my phone , its /extsdcard/)

Find your external sdcard directory and replace /external_sd/.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeandritoG:
1. Did you use some of these programs?

Runtime environment, Java Developing kit, Android SDK

2. How can i discovery my right directory?

And I found other error here. I click at SuperSu and read this:

"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot instal it. This is a problem!

If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device!".

So I flash the file SuperSU-v1.65 with recovery again. And continues the same issue...

And i follow step by step of this thread!

-

Can I do in the way that I know hot to root? With CF-Root and after flash a CWM recovery again?

-
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syzygium:
1. ADB only

2 .you can check your directory in mounts and storage menu ( recovery mode )

not sure about supersu , you can try latest version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeandritoG:
I went to Play Store and update SuperSU. Use Check Root app and SuperSU continues with root problems.

So I tried CF-Auto Root, then flash CWM with Odin again. And now a lot of boxes of "stoped" in boot of phone.

So now I will have to install the rom again...

This time i will try to use CF-Auto root at first. Cause following the steps of this thread seems not to work very well for me. =(

Phone is already rooted.

SuperSU is Ok. Tested with Root Checker app.

USB Debbuging is activated.

The recovery is CWM.

I plugged the phone at PC only after I did: mounts and storage > mount /system > mount /storage/extSdCard

I'm using (as administrator) this ADB program:

/storage/extSdCard

And also the folder "SAMSUNG_N9005_FIX SOFT BRICKED" is there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeandritoG:
What I'm doing wrong?

Could someone post the original ADB posted at first post and that is already expird?

It will turn more easy the life of the future people that needs help at this topic!

I never used ADB before, so I didn't know if my program is the right one, cause is giving the error of "no such file".

If is easy, why can't you all help just doing a little tutorial here? Why do you let the others suffering here?

Cause it's cool?

This method worked for everyone there.

If your method is different then it's ok.

But plz don't under evaluate my method..

You brick your mobile from app you downloaded from playstore not from my script..

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br46:
I bricked as you with the same app. I didn't find a solution ,trying many things read in XDA

= permanent bootloop, no EFS and no baseband

I try also this method but I don't know if it is OK , because I don't know how running adb

( adb.exe in adbfastboot , doesn't work ?) and my phone is not known by my PC in recov mode or download mode

and normal mode because bootloop

i think that this solution is not for our situation

SO, I decided to return my phone to samsung .Samsung choice is the change of mother card, about 240 €

and I think that I must say yes , my phone was good only three days.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steeno78:
br46 i have windows 8.1 64 bit also to get adb working you need to be in CMW recovery, mount system and external_sd. Dont come out of CMW and on your PC go to the ADB_Fastboot folder from the file you downloaded in this tutorial. Inside that folder hold left shift key and right click mouse, the drop down will have a selection saying "Open Command Window Here". Select that and run the adb shell command and so on like mirek190 described in his tutorial :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br46:
thank you for you help

but still the same problem

my phone is plugged in recovery CWM, mount system and ext SD, right click mouse and shift key hold

in context menu on adb.exe or fastboot.exe , i have open or run as administrator

the DOS windows open and close very quickly . some commands runned but I don't know what they are.

the same with shift key not hold

the same thing with exec from start menu

always the same problem can you explain again the adb command with cwm

thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steeno78:
To get adb working you need to be

1 Phone needs to be in CMW recovery

2 in CMW mount system and external_sd

3 put phone down at this point still in CMW

4 on your PC go to the ADB_Fastboot folder from the file you downloaded in this tutorial

5 Inside that folder hold left shift key and right click mouse (but do this away from any programs in the folder) as your not actually selecting any of the files

6 in the drop down will have a selection saying "Open Command Window Here" select that

7 run the "adb shell" command then "su" inside the dos window that is open and continue to follow the steps that mirek190 described in his tutorial
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirek190:

For example :

- extract adb folder on c:

- in start menu -> ( windows ) search bar - > write " cmd "

- in cmd window navigate to adb folder by command " cd "

cd... - folder down

cd ( name folder ) - folder up

Example

cd c:

cd adbfastboot

adb she'll

" now you execute commands waterer you want"

yeah think the zip just makes your phone stable by clearing out your EFS block and forcing the phone to regenerate a generic EFS but it doesnt tackle the fact it wont connect to carrier. I think it has to do with mmcblk0p12 and mmcblk0p13. when i first insert a sim into the phone it connects to thecarrier for a split second to retrieve the APN settings and from there i goes to emergency calls only, which to me would suggest the modem is working and its something else thats stopping the connection to my carrier
