Sorry I was late. Just quickly posted that one while on brake at work and wasn't able to get back online until now.

Edit:

I don't know if you guys can follow this guide and just substitute the files from your original 4.3 phone's firmware and make it work for your phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cundis:
I also have an S3 i9305 with tripped knox bootloader after upgrading to 4.3. I have not tried to flash stock 4.1.2 on it after that, but it is not a problem to flash a custom 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 custom ROM on it.

Is it only samsung signed ROMs that won't boot if it's downgraded? And custom ROMs is not a problem as long as you don't try to downgrade the bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVonV:
that sux! but what is the point of being able to select a BL file in Odin then?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
Samsung did changes on the bootloader since MJ7, once updates cannot downgrade.

Also new firmware OS need new bootloader, means once up to latest KitKat that need new bootloader, they is no way to revert to older version as of now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Well for us SM-N900W8 users it's possible to flash back to 4.3. Just took Mexican 4.4.2 for a spin and to me looks the same as 4.3 so I'm back to 4.3 as there's not that many 4.4.2 custom roms out yet.

I just have to wait for an 4.4.2 Kitkat release for my Hong Kong SM-N9005, because i could not install any of the custom rom. No matter how many roms i have tried and how many times i tried any of the wipe/format the Samsung Setup Wizard always fails and crashes.

I found a link to removed that APK, but i have to use ADB to rename and remove the APK itself if you guys are interested or wanted to try let me know. For now im using my Stock Nexus 5 and just ordered another Note 3 and sell my other one once i get it fix.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaOldMan:
I think the problem with Hong Kong n9005 is smaller system partition. I would use a pit file from a european n9005 with repartition to install a rom. I am almost sure this way you will be able to install any rom.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
More than likely that is the reason -- to find out if it's your phone, go to settings > about device and check if BASEBAND is wrote there. If it is, your phone is fine and it's the sim card

Yes i have the ubucna2 the official with the update...just a few question...phone with stolen report have signal? Recognize the sim card? Check the pictures and tell me what u think...thats the network info inside of the app sim info..what u think?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
According to that you have a full signal - but your sim says you are not connected to the subscribed network -- and No a reported stolen phone probably won't have a signal as they're usually blacklisted....

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
New motherboard installed is what I was told, my Knox was tripped.

I had a look at the nearest service centre and there's two here where I am, both are independent phone shops but licensed by Samsung to do repairs. Guy in the shop was explaining how people try to fool them saying they don't know what Knox warranty stuff is etc. I just flat out told him what I done and he laughed told me to come back in 90mins.

I did pay the service charge for it tho. So wasn't under warranty. I expected that and didn't wanna go through the rigmarole of waiting for them to get warranty clearance (which repair shops have to get from Samsung apparently), and be without my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
The w8 model is the only model you can downgrade with... Don't try it with the N9005 it will brick.

You might as well flash the S4 rom on your Note 3... Same effect but at least you know whats gonna happen...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
So maybe if you were dishonest and said it just stopped working you might have had the repair covered... How much did they charge you just to know?

It suck for you guys because here in canada, there are no service centers, If you need a replacement, you call the carrier, go through their troubleshooting and if it still doesnt fix the problem, they send you a refurbed unit, then you have to send back your old unit. No knox check, nothing. They just replace it no questions asked.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Cost me £106 which wasn't too bad tbh. They probably would have done it for free had I played the dumb card I think.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_pat:
I think so too. But the reason why i'm asking is that i'm trying to bust the myth that knox 0x1 voids your warranty automatically. So far i had a few members say they had to pay for their repair but like you, they were honest and said they screwed up their phone so obviously it was not covered. I have yet to see a person that brought their phone in and played the dumb card and when the repair man saw knox he refused to repair for free. I have myself used my warranty with knox 0x1 and i have not had any problems. There is no where in Samsung policy where it says that tripping fuse voids warranty.

warranty repair

I totally bricked my i9505 after I'd previously tripped the Knox warranty 0x1, I took it to a Samsung repair Centre and played dumb , they repaired the phone for free putting the latest kitkat firmware v4.4.2 . The service Centre did say if there was no warranty on the phone any hardware repairs would be a charged. I bought the phone on eBay and wasn't sure if it was still under warranty.Unfortunately I hate kitKat and now can't downgrade to jb v4.3. Absolutely no mention of efuses.

I have one note3 with 4.3, rom its from oct13.

And mine with 442 nd3.

Mine its faster, batt last longer. On 442 samsuck undervolt all cpu, so its work longer and cooler.

On 4.3 boat browser has text wrapper, on mine not working. But i begun to use Dolphin, Opera with text wrap.

442 nd3 is way better then wife 4.3.

Scrolling is smoother on pages in 442, tested with both phones in my hand, same pages, same browser.

Also 442 has 2.71gb ram, 4.3 only 2.38gb

Note 3 rooted knox 1, my last Samsuck crap. I want freedom. Stay away from Samsuck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kris1975:
Well, I have latest modem but problem still persist. Considering signal dropping problem, I temporarly found a sollution.

Go to System settings -> More networks -> Mobile networks -> Network mode and change it to WCDMA only. Since it is more sensitive network type, It will hold signal better. You can make calls even when signal strenght is -101 dBm.

Since it is 4G network this sollution works only in places which are covered with 4G network GSM repeaters.

I hope that Samsung will solve this problem. I think that it is KitKat problem, more precisely, antenna power consuption is low so that battery would last longer.

If this helps you, feel free to thank me :laugh:
