so it boils down to either rooting or saving data ie. pics , documents etc to folder of my choice on internal sd. then using samsung app myfile to move to folder on ext sd. if I need to edit I can open from ext sd with any app edit BUT have to save back to internal sd then use myfile to move back to ext sd card again.

also I can no longer run apps from ext sd .all have to be run of internal sd. so when that runs out of space I am done...crazy. mind you 32gig can run a fair few apps unless I get into gaming or store my music collection on it

Users in Thailand should check for update. There should be one there. :)

Does NC1 has same bootloader as NA6? Do we have to check "Update bootloader" in odin when update from NA6 to NC1? Thx in advance
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
I believe it's a single file. And nothing was said about a new bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chuvk:
I have downloaded this firmware, but yet to install as I am unable to find a change log or the changelist specified. I currently have the previous Thailand Firmware N900XXUDNA6_N900OLBDNA2_THL and it is rooted and working well, so I would like to review the changes before I upgrade.

Any Ideas?

Need Suggestion

Stanley and other expert,

I need a suggestion for my note 3 SM-N900

I'd like to back to my country CSC, because now I'm using N900UBUDNB2-EON firmware which don't have any problem, but I want to going back to my XSE firmware.

The problem was, Trinidad version ( UBUDNB2 ) still got the highest changelog ( 705000 ) than new XSE XXUDNC1 which changelog still at 694000. But I prefer to revert back to XSE version.

Does anyone has tried this New XXUDNC1 firmware??? I really wish to hear from you all, since Indonesian ( XSE ) version is the same with Singapore ( XSP ), Vietnam and Thailand ( THL ). So anyone from Singapore, vietnam, and thailand very welcome for the suggestion.

Thank You Stanley and everyone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
I use custom ROMs so I won't be of much help here. However the only thing that can stop u from flashing is the bootloader
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pikwan80:
Thanks, I have known that bootloader was the only one problem, I have had experienced with F*CK bootloader on my GT-I9200 that block my maps and youtube app and cannot revert back to old version firmware..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
If it's not broken, don't fix it. :)

Yes, so just be careful mate. Even tho i think it only softbricks your phone. Never tried, don't want to. :P
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hbkrossi:
I previously using that NA6 THL....i dirty flash NC1 over it via Odin...everyth intact (lose root btw)...personally feel slightly better battery and noticably smoother...hope it not a placebo effect..[emoji5]
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pikwan80:
Yes, i make the mistake, I didn't read the I9200 forum before upgrading, and I just forget that my I9200 was snapdragon processor, as I know snapdragon was the hardest system if F*CKING KNOX included, I didn't notice that new update was knox included. :crying:

Hi,

I have a SM-N900 on Chile fully unlocked and want to know if I can to flash to 4.4.2, or still not (I don't know if the fist page was updated).

I can test it too.

Thanks,

If you have SM-N900 then you can flash any newer build SM-N900 ROM, regardless of the region. Cheers! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Gradius2:
I decided to give a try and is working fine, the only thing I didn't like was the top small icons (information icons).

They changed to pure write color and isn't that intuitive anymore like it was with 4.3.

WHAT?! I prefer the White Icons LOL!

[MENTION=300405]Stanley[/MENTION],

Halo, I just experience about write to extsd issue, yesterday I used Office Suite Pro app and save a .doc file into extsd and it said "unable to open file" then I tried write to internal SD and it can save the document, then I tried to change platform.xml manually by using text editor in root explorer 2.21.11 app, and I follow the command in from the first platform.xml uploaded from the forum, and I just add

<group gid="media_rw" />

at WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and that's all, my Office Suite Pro can save a .doc file into extSD. I open the platform.xml on GT-I9200 and the command was the same, there's a

<group gid="media_rw" /> command in WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE command. Now my note 3 using XSE-XXUDNC1 firmware was a great value rooted kitkat ( CWM 6.0.47 and SuperSU 1.93 ). I affraid to use previous uploaded modified platform.xml because the size didn't same as the new XXUDNC1 platform.xml.

Previous uploaded platform.xml was just 7.12KB and this new platform.xml was 7.32KB so I decided to edit that XML myself manually with root explorer 2.21 text editor, but don't worry after I saved the XML file, root explorer will make a backup file platform.xml.bak.

This method only for experienced user.

I have uploaded one platform.xml that I manually edit, tested and used until now this only for asian firmware N900

My firmware was XSE_XXUDNC1 so maybe thailand, vietnam and singapore could test it, and let me know if extsd write still exist.

If someone found a useful at my sample platform.xml please make CWM installable.

Thanks, Stanley and everyone.

Hello, I have some question:

1. should i use the rooting method in this thread or CF-Auto root? Can someone tell me the different between these 2?

2. Can i do factory reset if i root my phone?

3. Can i update via OTA if my phone rooted

4. If I flash stock rom via odin. will my phone lose root

Indian NB2 download link

Hi, Couldn't find the Google drive link for INDIAN NB2 ROM. Can you post it again pls.

Anil
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
1. You can use any of them. I think CF-Root process is simpler, since all you have to do is go into download mode and flash

2. Yes u can factory reset after rooting

3. You can update via OTA only if u use Wanam Xposed to set ur phone status back to 'official'

as rooting changes it to 'modified' which you will get 'phone has been modified message' when u try to update via OTA.

4. Flashing stock ROM is like the most Foolproof way to Unroot ur device. So yh. You will lose root. Cheers! :)

I don't think I ever posted it. I will check to see if it is on there and post it. I'm mobile now. Give a few hours.

Does anyone has tried flash stock recovery after injecting super su??? what will happen???

Because after I flash CWM into note 3 and before I flash super su my device status already turned into custom, so custom status was not coming from super su, but after flash CWM it already turned custom.

My question is has anyone tried this method??? flash CWM and flash super su then flash back the stock recovery. does it turned device status back to official???

Factory reset your device. (It would wipe your internal sd. So backup all that you need) :)

Flashing in ODIN alone wipes nothing.

There is just one Wanam Xposed and it is on PlayStore - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.xposed

But you need to have Xposed framework running first - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

I haven't tried this wanamp xposed due to short time to try. But I'd like to inform thaat my GT-I9200 now couldn't use MAPS and YOUTUBE app when I injected CWM into my GT-I9200, even I have disable knox with super su and it's still the same. So maybe I could restore back Official status with super su installed ( like my last post ).

What's Stanley opinion about this??? does wanamp could help???

Need Advice

Anyone,

As we know Root Explorer has capable to make .tar from every files in our rooted android.

How about my idea, I want to do this combination like, I download THL-XXUDND2 and XSE-XXUDND1.

First I extract all XSE-XXUDND1 files into flashdisk, then I just extract THL-XXUDND2 only system.img.ext4 and replace XSE-XXUDND1 system.img.ext4 and then make .tar using Root Explorer.

So I will have XSE-XXUDND1.tar with new system.img.ext4 from THL-XXUDND2.

I would like to know, what will happen If I flash this modified firmware???

1. Will I get a new XSE-XXUDND1 firmware with THL-XXUDND2 system. ( new THL DND2 with XSE CSC )

2. I will brick my N900.

3. Failed on flashing.

Request your advice.

Thanks a lot.

NB: Until now THL-SM-N900XXUDND2 couldn't be downloaded from samm*bile, stuck at 99% then failed.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] pikwan80:
fix

of course, successfully flash THL-DND2 from rooted THL-ND1, now I using THL-DND2 using manual root, first flash CWM 6.0.4.7 using odin 3.09 and untick autoreboot, after flashing CWM, press vol up+home+power button until it boot into samsung logo then release power button. When CWM boot, I install super su 1.94. Before reboot, I factory reset, format/sdcard, format/cache, format/data.

Note: before flashing DND1 to DND2, I cleanup first by Factory reset, format cache, format/sdcard, and of course FORMAT/SYSTEM.

with format/system, I've never encounter any error that other user said about error in flashing, overheating, battery lagging and so on.

Hello,

I have a SM 900 Note 3, I live in Egypt, Africa and I still haven't received the Kitkat update. I'm still on 4.3 and whenever i check for update it tells me my software is up to date. I also tried to check with Samsung Kies and it tells me the same.

Is there a way I can get stock 4.4 without rooting or flashing? (I am kind of new to the android scene :)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pikwan80:
Please Describe your N900 version first, N900 for egypt version already listed on www.sammobile.com/firmware section.

If you want to update to 4.4, you should download firmware first from sammobile and it's about 1gigs size. after download, flash with Odin that's the only way if your auto update and kies tell you no update.

Another note : Once you root, the auto update will not work anymore, but kies still could help.

Hallo Stanley and Guys

as we know *#34971539#	Camera firmware check/update.

I'd like to know was there an update for N900 camera fimrware???

My currently N900-XSE using N900XXUDND2-THL and would like to know if there's an update to my N900 firmware.

Before I do a check I'd like to know if everyone who has updated their firmware, are there any new performance or new feature for N900 camera???

Does this new camera firmware causes severe battery drain???

If there's an update, does this update permanetly remain in N900 system?? Even we do a factory reset, Format/Syatem ( CWM ) and flash new stock ROM???

Note : I'm happy with this N900XXUDND2-THL, stable and now problem ever found, except S-View problem ( don't have S-View Cover ).

Thank you very much.

Any idea on how to solve this? Thank you..

I'm guessing u used TWRP? Try CWM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] khalis711:
I did that using CWM. multiple right swipe on 'install zip', 'advanced' & 'reboot system now' and one left swipe finally open up the 'Install update from zip file' submenu..when I right swipe 'choose zip from /sdcard', it went straight to 'ROM may flash stock recovery on boot' menu with No & Yes option...

I'm puzzled why I cant flash the supersu v1.99 straight away...BTW, im using n9005..
