Lol yeah I just got trigger happy when i saw the thread with so many views and thought hell yeah finally x-note v10 lol. I always read through the threads a lot so i dont have to post(obviously didnt do it until after a problem this time), but i just kept thinking it must work for our phone if its in our thread. I knew that our phones where very similar so I assumed that it would work on both. Didnt realize that I needed my own csc and bl until after i flashed the mexican fwm. Flashing a tmobile stock rom through odin worked on the first try. I didnt know you guys didnt have your own thread though that sounds rufff..

While I wholeheartedly agree that the n900w8 should have its own forum, I have to ask, what's so confusing? Everyone in xda should understand that the first thing you do when you enter a thread is read the OP. If a person isn't willing to take a minute to read the OP, it's their loss if they make a mistake. As was mentioned a few posts above:

The following is for

Canadian Note 3 users - model number N900W8.

Please do not attempt the following on other devices. I am not responsible for your phone or any damages, so perform at your own risk.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JasonJoel:
Yeah. I disagree completely that you guys have to 'piggy back' in the most similar thread. If you don't have a forum of your own then DON'T POST. The moderators should have deleted this thread a long time ago.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DrawnToLife:
I disagree. I think it's better to have the information than to not have the information. While I understand that it may be "hogging" up this forum, there are many people who appreciate this resource for what it is. Imagine it if you were one of us with a Canadian device. Would you rather not be able to root without tripping Knox for the sake of clearing up the forums, or would you appreciate that at least someone posted it somewhere?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Oogar:
Unfortunately it's attitudes like this that drag down development communities completely. For what the community and many users gain, you would rather not have because it's too hard to read the first 3 lines of the OP?

Considering device similarities, things learned about our device can benefit yours and vice versa. In fact the N900W8 was running 4.4.2 long before the N900T, not to mention with a bootloader that allowed you to downgrade. It inspired others to try different things with the N900T, only promoting a diverse and active community.

Thank you for your opinion though, and thank you XDA for not having moderators with an attitude similar to yours. If it's too confusing for you let me know and I can change the OP to include an even more straight forward disclaimer. Heck, I'll even bold it for ya.

Edit - OP disclaimer (in the first 3 lines) now includes bold font, capital letters, and even more specific instructions! Thread name edited to reflect model number of the Canadian/Mexican Note 3.

hi

i am trying to find CivZ-KatTurbine-Rev1.2 but i only see the new karners 1.9 and 2.0

is ur 1.2 more stable >?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
Speaking of kernels, not that I care that much, but I'm running civz 1.9, and realized recently my nfc doesn't turn on. Yes I've flashed the wifi/nfc fix, and I'm not sure if it ever worked back with 1.2. Can anyone off any insight?

I'm on snapkat now,1.2 was kat turbine, not sure if that's the cause, no problems otherwise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flashcity90:
Yeah it would most likely be beneficial for you n900w8 users to actually put in capital bold print not for tmobile users as the first line(even in the title).You should cover every base possible.Yes, just stating canadian note 3 obviously isnt enough because we have used other carriers methods for ourselves since day one. Otherwise tmobile users will keep stumbling into your thread within our own thread ha. This needs to be done because our devices are so similar people will do what I have and assume that this also works across both devices like past rooting methods etc without doing enough research. Not to mention the fact that a lot of devices had to use another regions rom to upgrade to kitkat. Also some carrier note 3s(tmobile for sure) can cross flash roms from a plethora of different carriers. Lastly you cant react badly if a tmobile user enters a thread your utilizing within our own subforums and does something bad and has to post(ie ME). This will only lead to you guys getting an abut face and flamed out of the forum by half of the tmobile community who isnt as nice or caring as I am. I understand you utilizing these forums is very beneficial. Hopefully we can all play nice on xda. I desire all to work out well for the n900w8 community.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vanisleguy1976:
Looks like the kernel has been updated! 1.2 is very stable for me. If you want, I can upload it to my Dropbox for you. Let me know. Although I'd think the newer versions must be better lol

Hmm, I haven't had any problems (running x-note 10 with snapkat 2.0). Not the most elegant solution but I would recommend installing fresh.

[MENTION=4361963]flashcity90[/MENTION], I appreciate your views. Many of us with the N900W8 would love our own forum. We've had users ask and it hasn't happened. Regardless of what methods used, I think the main goal of XDA is to promote development. If we shun users, we start to lose potential great minds that may contribute to the community in the future. Being able to set up a thread in the T-Mobile forums has enabled us to have 70+ pages of discussion, and inspired people to get to know more about their device.

My blatant sarcasm is towards the people who so quickly dismiss us based on model number (and lets be honest, nationality). The misplaced sense of entitlement and poor attitude in a community about sharing is detrimental. We are neighbouring countries with carriers that interact quite a bit. It's not far-fetched to think the next big thing in mobile devices will be have same model number, at which point everyone will benefit.

Thanks for your input, and level-headed responses.

Specifically the modifications to xnote app. Downloaded twice, md5s matched. Next step is to try flashing the normal full wipe version and back up my sd card.

You can extract the .zip file and push the .apk into the system folder and see if that helps.

Hey guys,

Canadian note 3 here. I had earlier been rooted on X note 4.3.

Tried to upgrade to kitkat bootloader and now i am not able to get past bootloop.

I am pretty sure Ive followed the steps properly: Flash the 5 files using odin, then flash auto root, then install custom recovery. Flashed 4.4.2 Xnote 11 and cant get it to go past boot screen. I've tried following the steps again from scratch but i am still stuck.

Any recommendations? What other information would you need to help me?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DrawnToLife:
Flash back to stock 4.4.2 first? Then try again? What settings/kernel did you pick for X-note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jon3sh:
When you flash Xnote 11 don't choose any kernel. Flash Civz 1.2 or Snapkat 1.9 kernel before you reboot system.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gutlessmerc:
I reflashed xnote 11 and then as instructed chose no kernel. Then installed civz 1.2. It says successfully installed but i couldnt help but also notice another line of code that says:

unable to mount usb storage.

I can see the xnote's 4.4.2 red kikat logo on bootload and that multi colored super flashy boot animation, but its stuck there and reboots.

Still stuck on bootloop. uurgh. should i redownload all the files and go through odin again?

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

Did flash stock 4.4.2 first, and then initially tried default kernel as my option in aroma. still bootloops. Then tried the civ kernel and still bootloops.

Shouldnt the stock 4.4.2 have worked after going through odin, cf root and recovery?

The stock 4.4.2 would bootloop too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nicholaschum:
What kind of boot loop do you have? Stuck on the Samsung Note 3 logo or the blue Samsung logo?

Sent from my fingers to your face using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DrawnToLife:
Did you check your MD5s?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gutlessmerc:
If i try to run stock 4.4.2 after the odin steps, it does the samsung animation with the music, moves on to the samsung logo in blue and then loops all over again. If i have xnote 11 flashed with civ kernel, it goes through the red kitkat logo followed by the flashy boot animation and then reboots and loops.

I wouldnt stress it so much if i didnt need this phone tomorrow at work. Still it'll all be worth it if i can get xnote running on 4.4.2 :D

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

I honestly dont know how. I used to think Odin rejected bad MD5s as it did the first time i tried loading up the AP file. I downloaded the file again and this time it took it without issues.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gutlessmerc:
I followed all the steps except checking md5. I did that now and the xnote file is a perfect match!

Also, i went through STEP 5 a few times just to be safe. I went through the whole odin process atleast 4 times.

Should i check md5 for the 5 files that i needed to flash on odin too? if so, how do i find the md5 value for the AP and BL files?

By the way guys, thank you for the awesome support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
I wouldn't worry about md5 except for the actual rom file.

Are you waiting for Odin to say success? It takes a while.

Are you flashing through odin? What were you on previously?

Ok, I read the back story, did you boot up the original rom that you flashed with odin first?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jon3sh:
When you flash stock KK 4.4.2 is there a check on pit file? Uncheck it and flash again I remember having boot problem first time flashing stock 4.4.2.

Hi. I just flashed running x Note 11 rom, flashed nfc/wifi fix and flashed snapkat rev 2 N900T kernel. Wifi works fine But still nfc and LTE not working on my Rogers Note 3

(Nfc turns on but no nfc icon on status bar).

Any solution?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
Xnote is HIGHLY modified. As long as the toggle is lit up and nfc is working, don't worry about the status bar icon. With either wanam, gravity box, or one of the many other options in xnote, that icon has been disabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gutlessmerc:
I dont see a box to check/uncheck for the PIT but it could be because of the odin version i am running. Not sure.

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

OMG. I am gonna go through the ODIN steps again. Does it actually say SUCCESS? I thought it said something else. Maybe thats what it was. Maybe i didnt wait long enough for it to say success thinking the steps were already complete. I thought the confirmation word was "RESET". Let me go through with it again and i'll let you know what happens.

When you say boot the original rom, I thought it was the AP file. Is there another file you install through ODIN?

I thought you had those 5 files that you flash using ODIN, then install root and finally Recovery and then flash custom roms of your choice.

EDIT: It did say PASS. I was worried i took it off after RESET but i actually didnt.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
That could be your problem then, the odin in the op is the only one to use. You have the right files, they're in the op. On the left side in odin, near the auto reboot option, is the repartition option. If you tried with this option unchecked, try with it checked again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gutlessmerc:
I actually tried them with both partition checked and then unchecked. Damn thing loops in both cases. Are you suggesting that i install the custom rom XNote through Odin? I am sorry if i am starting to sound stupid. Been on this case for 12 hours now. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
No, follow the op, I misunderstood you and thought that's what you were trying. If it bootloops again try pulling battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gaganmohal:
How about LTE? It works on stock kitkat rom (Mexican) and aosp roms but not on N9005 roms ( tried echoe and xNote rom)

I am only getting 4g. Some people says 4g and lte are same but for me its not I get way faster speed with lte.

For example on same location 4G down speed is around 10-20 mbps but LTE gives me around 70-105 mbps. ( tested multiple times).

I checked mobile networks , LTE is enabled.

Any solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
In 9005 you won't get the LTE symbol, but you should be getting LTE speeds. In 9005 roms, 4G IS LTE, h+ is non LTE. Although some have complained of signal and speed drops compared to stock Rogers roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gutlessmerc:
Just tried removing battery to see if it'd stop bootlooping but it didnt. Is it safe to assume that at this point the only option i got is to go back to 4.3 bootloader? Because i'd hate to do that. That would be my last resort. I do have the canadian w08, so i guess i still can downgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
Sorry, that process has worked for so many. Not sure what else you could do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jon3sh:
Can you still access recovery after you flash 4.4.2? Try doing factory reset in stock recovery before you do anything and see if that will make difference or pass boot logo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gutlessmerc:
No worries man. Thank you all for trying. I guess I am gonna have to go back to 4.3. I cant find a thread as well constructed as this showing "how to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 bootloader". Assuming this is only possible for canadian note 3s, can anyone point me to a thread like this one?

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

How do you do a factory reset from stock recovery?

i am already on the custom recovery. Is there a way to go to stock recovery still? or do i go through the odin process to get back stock recovery and then try factory reset? but even if i did get back stock recovery, I dont see the option to do a factory reset.

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

Just to be sure i know what i am doing is right: If i were to try and downgrade to 4.3 bootloader, will the following steps work?

-download 4.3 firmware from samsung

-flash it using odin. (do i simply flash it using AP box? not sure how this step works. which boxes to check and which ones not to. do i check partition or not, do i check or uncheck update bootloader)

-flash cf auto root

-flash custom recovery

-flash any 4.3 rom available.

Also, I searched but couldn't find a dedicated to canadian note 3 downgrades from 4.4.2 to 4.3 bootloader. can Anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] turilo:
Yep just download 4.3 fw from sammobile and flash via Odin by adding it in the AP tab. Might have to do it twice. Then do them steps you mentioned to root etc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
Did you follow the instructions after step 8? Where there are some procedures if you run into problems? Those directions were what I was getting at, from the bootloop, reboot into recovery, factory reset and try booting again. I'm curious if you did this?

when i go to the App manager and open Google Play or Google Play Services i cannot clear data due to the fact that the memory usage is COMPUTING forever and ever..

anyone run into this issue?

Haven't had any issues with play store with my N3, however, I do recall a situation where I was having play store errors due to restoring accounts through titanium backup. Try removing your Google accounts in account manager, and then manually add them back and reboot. Hopefully it's a simple as that!

And regarding your first statement about being on stock because you have gear, let me assure you that my gear and phone communicate perfectly with X Note 11 on my phone and null 22.1 on my gear :cool:
