[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
Patience. :)

Yes, if you flashed the new bootloader, you can't downgrade, so don't even try. My advice is, reflash the Russian 4.4.2 and then FULL wipe in Stock recovery. (Note: This will delete all the files in internal sd and apps too). SO backup to PC first.

Hey everybody. I've been a long time xda member and just left the atrix hd to finally move up to the big leagues and get this beast. So with that being said I've never dealt with a multi carrier phone. So what are the dos and donts of flashing some roms and such. What is available currently.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
Nope! Also, i heard someone say... After updating ur bootloader to KitKat one, no more hope for CM

I don't see too much diff, RAM is still 2.66GB available. I think Snapdragon users got bumped up to 2.71 usable. 50MB more. Pretty cool. I think battery is better than latest Jelly Bean 4.3 builds, but definitely not as good as the earlier builds like MI5 :highfive:

Overall, better UI maybe 10 to 20% increase in responsiveness, but to be honest my note 3 was never laggy or slow.

I just wish we got more UI changes.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sachinaik:
After following below steps :

1. Full wipe in twrp : including internal sdcard and /system.

2. Replace the platforms.xml

3. Now the extSdCard bug is not fixed. So I flashed extSdCard_flashable.zip.

Now finally :

1. TiBk is able to write to extSdCard.

2. Root Explorer does not work with extSDCard. Image browsing is not possible and when ever I create a new folder/file it says "can not create" and creates it anyways.

3. Changed by file browser from Root Explorer to ES Explorer. It works fine.

Advantages of kitkat :

1. The MJ6 JB firmware was a battery hog. Standby time after using greenify, removing Sammy account, freezing a lot of Sammy apps was still disappointing. It was 3%/hr.

KitKat it's 1%/hr without any mods.

2. Phone has become 30% smoother than JB.

3. Occasional stutters (yes I had them on N3 JB) is gone now.

4. Increase in 2k+ points in Antutu.

Hello OP, I have the international SM-N900, from what I can see the current build version is N900XXUCMK2. I downloaded the latest 4.3 ML1 which is in one big MD5 file, phone got semi-bricked after flashing through Odin due to bootloader error. I was lucky enough to have found a MJ7 bootloader and flashed the bootloader through Odin to get my phone back alive (even though I don't understand the logics behind it). I read through all of the posts here and havn't found my answer, so I am just wondering if you can help me out here. From what I described, does it mean I have a locked bootloader? If I flash the kitkat rom in the one big MD5 file you provided, would it semi-brick again? If I want to flash the ML1, what could I do to flash it?

Thanks in advance

Ur phone got Semi-bricked because you were probably trying to downgrade ur ROM, maybe even without knowing. Samsung doesn't allow downgrade of ROMs anymore unlike before. But i can ASSURE you that flashing the single file in First post will not semi-brick ur phone as others. If you flash properly. Not compulsory also is full wipe. But I recommend it. :D

Now I could download a fresh official kitkat ROM from your google drive even in russia version and my device was XSE version, it doesn't matter, better this thread, download speed at 112KB/s, this already satisfy me, just sleep and wait until finished.

Terafile and rapidgator were sucks file hosters, greed of money. Why I have to pay, if I only download a ROM once a month?

Once again thank you stanley for proving this link and an official ROM, hope you could provide XXUDNA6 XSE version if stanley don't mind. Russian version was great too.

by the way, an idea from me, would you like to provide a single ROM installer from the best selected country like Russia then make a separate installer for bootloader, CSC and Modem, so I could choose what I need ( Also specified CSC ) to install via Odin.

I just don't want install with AROMA system. I prefer to install via Odin, and rooted manually.

Now, I'm a little affraid because of sboot.bin, this is new bootloader and kitkat is still an initial release and maybe contain a lot of bug, just scare that I couldn't back to my XXUCMJ7 again. That's all. What is your suggestion, coz I can't hardly wait to upgrade to kitkat. Russian is fine with me, I don't mind just affraid the modem couldn't be used in my country ( XSE ).

By the way now my XXUCMJ7 XSE version using modem version XXCMJ3 download from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2461580 and it's fine until now.

about my sandisk ultra 64, I changed into fat32 coz I'm still using windows XP and cannot format this sandisk ultra, I only used MiniTool Partition Wizard. need your advice which one is the most reliable, Fat32 or exFat??? Thank you.
