Well, my upgrade completed, but I still get the portrait page with USB at the top and v1.00 at the bottom. The upgrade said it had completed successfully, is there a step I have missed?

Cheers

This is for Hong Kong 16GB N9005 who were stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note 3' screen after getting a 'Invalid: ext4 image' or 'Repartioning failed' errors while installing 4.4.2 OFFICIAL (Single File ROM) via Odin.

Many Thanks to [MENTION=256898]Volrath[/MENTION] for his/her post in another forum with this solution. I have tried and it worked. I've tried almost every other solution without avail. So, this is probably the only solution available at the time I'm writing this post.

Binary: Custom

Knox: 0x1

Method:

In Odin mode

1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip]

2. Flash the latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) [http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00094/gb3/n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.6-kitkat(0113).tar]

Download Sweet Rom and place it in ExtSDcard (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2487425)

I tried external sd-card with various format and could not install the ROM. After format my SD Card to FAT32, the ROM can be installed.

On Device

1. Boot in to Recovery mode by Volume up + Home + Power

2. Wipe Factory reset / Dalvik Cache

3. Format /System (under "mount and storage" menu) [IMPORTANT STEP]

4. Install Rom from SD Card

5. Say your prayer. You'll need it. (The installation could take sometimes. If the device screen shows Samsung boot animation, you're half way there)

Thanks again [MENTION=256898]Volrath[/MENTION]!

I guess it depends on the phone itself, but for mine it just does not work. No matter how many times i download/install this rom and change microsd card and safely removing the microsd card making sure the file is intact it will just crash on samsung setup see picture attached mine. Its basically a paperweight this point unless they will release 4.4.2 firmware HK thats compatible to my device.

And yes i have tried every factory wipe that you can think of...

Im going to try Jackaway 4.4.2 firmware and see how it goes...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Try another custom ROM, or grab the PIT file and re-do your phone and flash Sweet/Jackyaway or Flxkat again.

how i flash 2 files in odin?

2. Flash the latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) [http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00094/gb3...280113).tar]
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggtee:
I was having the same problem, keeps on getting Samsung Setupwizard has stopped dialog.

I have wipe data/cache etc and flash the Sweet Rom many times but still gets the same error.

THEN, I used Odin to flash the 4.4.2 bootloader from here, as mentioned in Sweet Rom thread in the first post regarding needing the 4.4.2 bootloader for Sweet Rom, and tada, its works without the setupwizard has stopped error.

I dont know how and why it helped but it fixed my problem.

So basically, I follow every step rinuvimal said in the first post of this thread, encountered the setupwizard error, shut off the phone, goes into download mode, use Odin to flash the 4.4.2 bootloader, the phone restarts and the error is gone!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colide:
Mine was even stranger.

I got stuck after trying to install KitKat.

Then, I flash only "cf-autoroot" the first one. After it was flashed, phone booted up just fine.

I just got an Samsung Keyboard has stopped. Now working on it.

Thanks for a tip.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kailin63:


I just got this tablet from my wife for christmas and don't get me wrong it suits my need for a tab, but is it ever getting an update? Currently it runs android 4.1 which is massively outdated. I see the carrier versions are running at least 4.2.2. I've looked all over and have found nothing other than 1 article with the tab 3 listed for maybe getting kitkat.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deeeno:
So if it suits your needs why mess with it?

I have a Tab 3 T-211 that I rooted, and installed CWM - But other than that the stock 4.1.2 firmware works just fine.

On my Galaxy S3 I tried a variety of ROMs - Seemed like it was a constant battle getting everything to work right.

Finally settled on a stock variety de-bloated ROM with root, and called it good enough.

I'm sure updates and / or a stable aftermarket firmware will become available soon enough for Tab 3's with patience.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kailin63:
Actually thats why I haven't rooted it. I'm not big on games and mostly just wanted a tab for casual use. Still, it does wake me wish they would release some new official firmware updates. Daydream, profiles, lock screen widgets would all be a nice bonus. I would really love to have apps to SD because my biggest issue is you only get about 4gb of open memory after system files.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harjan112:
* * *

I just recently purchased a Tab3 7.0 wifi and I too had the same reaction as you do, I then thru searching here on XDA found Rockettab, yes it is still 4.1.2 but the difference between "out of the box" and Rockettab is absolutely amazing, you can either get the "lite" version or if you choose so you can later install the "full" add on package, I myself am running the "Lite" version and added the APK's I use the most to the zip file and flashed it and within 5 minutes I was back up and running.

The latest version is Rockettab v3. and is super snappy and rock solid.

IMHO this is the best ROM :) ;)

Just head over there and have a look for yourself.

[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
Curious to see why all fellow members haven't changed from their SGS3 to a newer phone.

In my case, I still haven't found a phone that is at least 2x superior in every aspect. The SGS3 still has a very good camera, big HD screen, 1080P video recording, lots of storage (48GB in mine), Android 4.3, etc.

I tried the Nexus 5 recently but ended returning it. The vibration and Wi-Fi signal were very weak. They were worse than on my SGS3. Also had the microphone audio problem when recording videos. Screen was great. Camera was worse than my SGS3. The overall tone and colors were darker and pictures were a downgrade. I'm still amazed at the picture quality of my SGS3. It takes great pictures, and I like having the peace of mind of having enough storage to shoot 100 minutes of 1080P video (I do record a LOT of videos using my phone).

Also battery on the Nexus 5 is not such a big improvement. It's better, but I would have preferred to upgrade to 3000 battery and maybe a 13Mpx camera.

Only thing I dislike of my SGS3 is the speed animation and fluidity. Animations are not consistent. I tried turning animations off but don't like it either. I've also tried CM11 and it's good, but still animations are not 100% consistent and quick.

So what about all of you? Why are you still using your SGS3 and haven't upgrade?

I will wait for SGS5 and LG G3.
[Galaxy S III General] Egorych:
I've paid 600€ for my s3... And the next time im gonna paid so much money for a smartphone it must be the ultimate high end smartphone.. At the moment there is no Phone i would buy.. Maybe Note 3 But better wait for s5.... And i defenitly stay on Samsung.. Best Displays for.. Hardware is top.. Only the Software could be better.. And if you drop ur smartphone often u gonna like the plastic :D.. Also Samsung is the Only one Who still bring update for a 2 years old device.. (Google too But dont like their devices.).. So I am Lucky with my s3.. Still Stock Sammy look and firmware... No issues with the Phone even i have an insane Chip..
[Galaxy S III General] gvmiguez:
Because it's still being a very good option comparing it with other phones. I will wait for S5 or a Nexus.....
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I'm still locked in my contract until June, also there's nothing that exciting right now.

In June the S5 will probably be out, but I'm reluctant to buy Samsung again with the Knox BS, so I'll see what I can get.
[Galaxy S III General] AES256thetic:
It's a solid device

Like other posters said, the performance gap between an S3 and say a Nexus 5 isn't really enough to justify a new expensive handset. I'll reconsider later in the year when the Nexus 6 is announced.

The replaceable battery and SD card have really made a difference that I didn't expect (I only got the S3 as an insurance replacement for Nexus 4). It would be hard to give them up.

The S3 is still very popular worldwide so there is a solid dev scene - example OmniROM - which means I don't really miss out too much on a Nexus device.
[Galaxy S III General] connta:
i dont like the direction phones are being designed, everyone is putting HD or UHD screens on phones (read: overkill), faster hardware to match, most getting too big also, battery usually stays the same in terms of how much you can actually use your phone...

would only wish for lil more horsepower on s3 gpu and it would be a perfect phone
[Galaxy S III General] boomboomer:
S3 could be the successor to the HD2, nearly 5 years old and still being developed.

As many people updating to the S4 find, it's no fun owning one on your own -developer support is everything and the S3 has such a huge user base
[Galaxy S III General] mrkizy:
No money to afford it :D
[Galaxy S III General] gematsu:
here in brazil phones are very expensive
[Galaxy S III General] Mafioso:
Because I paid 40k (indian rupees) for it:laugh:

Anyway the device is still pretty solid overall with no major limitations and awesome dev support. I think i will consider upgrading it when Note 4 comes, I will buy the, then cheaper Note 3 :highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] Lt.Win:
No need, still works like a charm. I don't see anything compelling for me to upgrade, I'll be keeping this for a couple more years easily.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Because bought it half year ago lol,with contract. And I won't have money after the contract will end to buy a new phone,so I think I will stay with this one for 2 or maybe even more years.

But S3 is the world's best selling phone. It's popular,huge user base,it has one of the best development support,and S3 is already fast enough in real world performance and even new games,so I don't need a new expensive phone to just do the same I do in my S3 but have A LITTLE smoother animations.
[Galaxy S III General] cr0wnest:
Because I was saving money for vaction and on top of that, the S3 is still a very solid performer. So there was no real need to upgrade. The ROM developments are active, it has Android 4.3, and the screen is still awesome. I will be changing phone this year though, most likely to the S5.
[Galaxy S III General] johan81:
Simply because my SGS3 is so fast with Nova Launcher, it has great battery life, a pretty good camera and every app I want to use works perfectly fine with it. I only upgrade when the apps I want to use do not run or run bad, or when my phone dies of course ;)

I had the SGS1 before this, I really felt the urge of upgrading when the SGS3 came out, but now I never even thought about upgrading.

EDIT:

Also, when 4G gets mainstream (read:affordable) I will probably want to upgrade, but only if there are proper 4G phones that work on practically all 4G bands. That is a feature that might get me to buy a new phone, as you will get real internet which can be used to properly video call and game on the go.
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
Coming from the s3 lte to a note 3. The difference is huge but not praticle. I love the note 3 but in some ways the s3 lte was just perfect. Had great size, speed and also every app was designed on it.

Like even mc4 is optimized on the s3 but not the note 3. So we don't get the good graphics.

Anyways everyone stay with the s3 till it dies
[Galaxy S III General] ~DemonLord~:
Ive had mine for 1 and a half year and i see little incentive in changing it. Buying it for almost 65k Pak rupees and now finding the resale is less than 40% of that value, Maybe 25k for one in perfect condition, but going as low as 10k if it has a damaged screen as mine which is absolute rubbish.

Its a legendary phone that started the high end smartphone battle. Its just a pity about the electronic wastage that goes on, in 1 year a device can not only become old and outdated but turn into an antique, a term that used to be used for being decades old. Camera never ceases to amaze, half HD and full HD screens look the same if your not holding it close to your face and focusing on the pixels.

Battery? Smoothness? I can say my s3 feels just as fast if not faster than the s4 and note 3. The great dev support is pushing battery and performance capabilities to never before seen limits. Theme changes make you believe you own a new phone. In the case of the S4/note3 roms, you are convinced you have an S4/note3 as in S4 Revolution or Glamour S4/Note3.

The cool gimmicky but useless features you might ask about? Smart Pause/Smart Scroll have already been ported. The Note 3's air command is hardly hardware related, and could show up in a few months if not less. So we got all and ever more that we need from our S3.

Im proud to have an S3. :D
[Galaxy S III General] Crall:
Because my work pays for my phones, i get 230 euro a year to get phone for, if i don't buy one i can save the money so the year after have 510 euro to buy a phone for. So i´m saving money right now :)
[Galaxy S III General] abhibnl:
I don't see any reason to buy a new phone other than a old gpu in s3, but i'm sure it'll run fine for next 1 year
[Galaxy S III General] kaynpayn:
To be honest, custom samsung roms 4.3 made me not want to change so soon. Before that, phone was really bad. Lagfest with 4.1 with no ability to multitask. Aosp melted way to much battery for my liking. With 4.3 I got some of the multitasking power back, nearly no lag and very good battery. If it dies, i'll get a nexus 5 as it's the best bang for the buck. If not, I'll stick around. Depending on samsung with their knox tech though, the day they shove such crap down my throat is the day they lose me as a client.

[Galaxy S III General] mertzi:
Because since android phones got 4 cores they became fast enough for most usage and over 300 ppi is sufficient to me. IMO high end phones have become "obsolete" unless you're a hardcore gamer or need a 1080 phone if you mirror it often on a 1080p tv/monitor.

Personally I'll never pay top dollar for a phone again, especially not since the Moto G was introduced. Phones won't get much slimmer than the S3, they will only get smaller bezels. And I think the S3 still looks OK.

Another thing that changed everything for me was getting a nexus 7. Nowadays I use my phone 1 hour per every 48 hours.

[Galaxy S III General] fabecoool:
Hmm, funny, you guys are talking about moving away to another phone, while I've just bought my GT-I9305 two days ago :)

Of course, I paid only half of what an SGS4 would have cost me. I seriously considered the SGS4 active, but was way too expensive.

Anyway, except for the knox feature that was pushed on me by Samsung with the 4.3 update when I switched on the phone, and which will prevent me from getting a custom ROM until some great dev finds a way to work around voiding the warranty, the phone feels amazingly fast, even on stock ROM (although I really dislike TouchWiz). Well, I have to admit that I come from the very first Samsung Galaxy S (yes, the GT-I9000), which I've had for over 3 years, so of course this SGSIII feels fast :).

Anyway, I miss the Slim sleak and simple interface, but I'm not going back to my old phone...

[Galaxy S III General] Michael_P:
Currently the S3 can fairly comfortably run most of the apps and games out there, So even if I found a phone with 3 times the improvement on all the hardware it would be pointless since the software just isn't there to make use of it.

So I'm happy to wait until I find a phone that has the killer features that make it worth the upgrade which the S4 & N5 just weren't.

[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
I only got mine in August because it was cheap ~$350 or so new for a sim free international will last me years.

I only got my first smart phone in Oct 2012 because I hate touchscreens and poor battery life. My old phone was a Sony Ericsson Elm the battery lasted like a week, it had 3g 5mp camera gps etc. Anyway I wanted a smart phone for my calendar so got a Sony Xperia U for $160, but the lack of ram (512mb) just made it run like crap and it did my head in. Anyway in August the GS3 came up for ~$350 so I bought it. Does everything I need and more and nice and fast. I love technology but phones are one thing I don't see the point of spending close to $750-1000 for a flagship. I always buy my phones handset only and use a sim only contract ~$20 for 1200 mins, unlim text, unlim data.

Apart from a weeks battery like my old SE phones I can't think of a single thing my S3 can't do that I'd like. I don't game, and use my ipod touch for music (although I do have my whole collection on my S3 as well just in case, 32gb microSD), so my S3 is only used for web, maps, video playback, calls, texts and whatsapp.

If they come up with a phone with a weeks battery with some moderate usage then I'll get a new phone, till then my S3 will do. I don't need 4G either, I can pull 12mbps on 3G in my local town, how fast do you really need for mobile browsing, can do youtube HD on it easy.
