Hmm, I just re-flashed the NB3 rom and my plattform.xml file did not contain the fix. In fact, the md5 checksum was exactly the same as in the NA6 poland rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] henklbr:
Read this:

http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html

Don't blame Samsung for this, but Google! They changed something in 4.4.x and the developers of the apps now have to change something in their apps!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Pooheyx:
Yeah, and this something is really Google trying to up the security on the Android platform making it more difficult for malicious software. The fix we are talking about will lower the security to pre-Kitkat and should be taken away when the apps you are using are updated.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rcsiccion:
This is very misleading. You say its fix but its not.

Hello,

My phone is N9005 on 4.3 official rom , not rooted.

N9005XXUDMJ7

AP : N9005XXUDMJ7

CP : N9005XXUDMJ7

CSC: N9005O2CDMK1

If I update to this firmware via Odin , will I have problems on my network signal ?

I am using the phone now in the middle east.

Thanks.

So, at the moment, no one else received this new firmware besides the Polish? :confused:

No your signal will be fine. You won't be able to go back to a 4.3 ROM though.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] AldrichDSaints:
Since you're from 4.3 you need to update the bootloader or else you might brick your phone.

Don't expect that Samsung will have ART on its official firmwares unless the Google supported it or it's Google Play Edition. Maybe some developers of custom roms can add ART on their rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hazem77:
don't you have signal issue? i think the latest modem is not good actually! i got lots of dropped calls. the previous one (poland) was better!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AldrichDSaints:
Even on NA6 it shows LTE but some shows 4G. I think it depends on what carrier they're using.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Yes, whenever the update comes just go for it. It's better to be updated than outdated :)

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Even rooted can update via OTA as long as you installed Wanam Xposed and fake the status to Official. I received an update in mine but you will loose root after that.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Since it is just a minor update (27 MB only) the data won't get wiped. But it's still better to perform wipe everytime you update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
No problem at all, I am using from last one month, latest MB3 updated threw OTA no issue at all.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

Showing 4G or LTE is on firmware not carrier of course support of 4g or lte should be there from carrier, my carrier is same which was showing before 4g on my original rom after flashing to poland start showing as a LTE.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cheetah2k:
After updating from Singapore XSA 4.4.2 to the new Poland, mine is still showing 4G - even after a full wipe.... I think it may depend on the language you choose on setup. I chose Australian (English)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] SK_007:
Hi i have downloaded 4.4.2 update on my PC which was officially released for Poland (N9005XXUENB3_N9005OXXENB1_XEO.zip) so now can anyone please guide me how to flash this on my Galaxy Note 3(N9005) in normal circumstances i wouldn't have asked this but as this is my first Samsung Android device i am unaware how to do that and secondly i don't want to take any risk of bricking my device as it's a pretty expensive smartphone so i am asking this is it safe to flash it....is there any chance of bricking and thirdly is this update(or firmware whatever u want to call it)bug free?

And oh yeah i am going to buy S view case tomorrow........so wanted to ask if i buy the non-official one will it work or not.........and what do you guys suggest should i buy the original one(60 $) or the non-official one(15 $)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards!

How many places u r asking same question? U will get confused if u do like this.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SK_007:
Pardon me for that.....it was a mistake!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] metko:
First you download kies and connect the phone to the pc to get the drivers installed, then you put your phone in download mode ( hold home+volume down+home button) launch odin (make sure that you exit from kies) put the firmware (the extracted file from the arhive it has an extension with .tar or .md5) file in AP and make sure Re-Partition is UNchecked and hit START and wait about 6 or 7 min

And for those on NB3 that are rooted wich CF-Auto Root version did you use the one for the NA6 and NA7 or is it a new updated ver for NB3?

Link would be apriciated :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anameeeen:
I have updated to this rom and Thanks for the people who have helped me :good:, but still I feel I am in prison. Can you please tell me which method of rooting works with this rom alongside with a compatible recovery.

Can someone please confirm that this ROM fixes the S-View Cover 3rd party issue and the external SD issue? I have installed it, did a full wipe but the issues are still there. Only way to get my S-View cover to work is to use Xposed Framework.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toker_X1:
Yes it does.

If your S-View case doesn't work still then you must have purchased a real cheap copy case and Samsung will never fix that.

SD Card - there issue is the old method of accessing SD card have been changed in KK but no one has updated their apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilpriest:
I expected the S-View Case to work, as it works if I use Xposed, perhaps Samsung haven't disabled the restriction for all cases.

Not even Titanium Backup can't write on my SD Card.

Thank you for your reply.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toker_X1:
You are probably right that Samsung is restrictioning some 3rd party accessories.

I can only confirm Spigen and Nillkin S View case works on 4.4 BN3.

I still have apps that can't write to SD example:

Dolphins browser can't save to SD

anyone had the same issue ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gidzdlcrz:
I flashed this firmware 3 times to get my device into Official Again. First 2 failed. I used odin 3.07 and ticked the bootloader. Anyway the ExtSdCard problem is still there. You have to add the media_rw thingy. All in all pretty much the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toker_X1:
ExtSDCard thing will always be there cos it ain't a problem.

This is the way for accessing ExtSDCard from 4.4 onwards.

It's down to developers to update their app for 4.4 and use the new method.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gidzdlcrz:
Agreed & Disagreed at the same time. Yes kitkat a new innovation. I wish i stay with 4.3 with MJ7 build. I miss you JB! So if there is a way to crack the bootloader i will downgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toker_X1:
Downgrade not possible yet unless you have Canadian Note 3

If you really need ExtSDCard to work you can use the 'media_rw' work around until devs updates their apps
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gidzdlcrz:
I already did. Kitkat is the reason why my knox is 0x1. Anyway its not really important to me. Because theres a fix. But for me JB 4.3 MJ7 is the best for "my" note 3. Im hoping someday. That someday we'll find a way to downgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Anyone else showing a very poor signal since upgrading to this firmware?

My signal has literally gone from 92% on LTE (the tower is only about 100m away) to 40% on this firmware.

Sadly it also hasn't fixed the problem I have on 5Ghz WiFi where completely at random the phone claims "your Internet connection is unstable" while still having a strong signal.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] devilpriest:
I think that until a way to downgrade to 4.3 will come out, they will have fixed 4.4.2 and make it all better and you will no longer want to downgrade to 4.3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gidzdlcrz:
Lets hope so. Its the 24th of February already. Oh yeah. The reason why i want to downgrade is because. I think Kitkat is limiting our device to its full performance. That's what i think. I dont have a concrete answer for this. That's all i know that thats also the reason why i want to go back to 4.3. Anyways, Do you know the game called "The Room?" That game is been lagging on my Note 3 ever since that i upgraded to kitkat. After the tutorial.

Just wanted to update that my reception seems better today, so perhaps it was just a temporary power reduction on the local call tower. Its still a bit lower than on JB but that could easily be down to something like higher humidity.

This is easy to fix (work around)

If you can edit platform.xml (need root) it requires the addition of a single line

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

Add the line containing media_rw exactly as above.

File is in etc/permissions folder (need root to mount this read write in order to save the edited version of platform.xml

I used fx file explorer with root add on. You can use any editor / file manager

I believe it is worth flashing the Poland b3 room as it has multi csc. It is also very smooth and icons are very crisp.

Regarding the sd card write issue it must be stated that this is not a Samsung problem. . It is more Google related. Developers have to update their programs. Don't worry though all the stock file explorers and programs write to sd card normally. .

CF-Autoroot by Chainfire is the best way of rooting. Since your bootloader is updated then you can't root without tripping the knox but it's good to hear that you want to root. Keeping the knox counter to 0x0 is like not having freedom because you're not rooted. Haha.

A reboot fixes the issue untill it happens again randomly.Using perfmom to monitor my cores. Can you guys test too and see if you have the same problem because if you don't monitor cores, you probably even not notice when this happens. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] The Android Robot:
There is an easier way to do that.

The fix is (requires root): SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD in Play store

Android 4.4.2 came with that restriction to protect people's bank account passwords that could be located on SD Card. So only a few applications can write on SD Card.

I find that in the "Developer Options" should be at least an option like "Select apps that can write on SD Card".

[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
The .136 cannot be rooted directly but can be Rooted with the method by NUT for Locked Bootloader. On C6903 you can downgrade with Flashtool v0.9.13 directly to .534 with FW provided by NUT to not lose IMEI, then Root with Bin4ry, then Update to .290 with the instructions given HERE, when you have .290 rooted you are ready to update to .136 with the same method HERE.

Watch the Video Tutorial How To in the first Link for .290. It will explain all.

After you get .136 Rooted you can Backup TA First and then Unlock Bootloader. Get Root on your Phone will not void your Warranty, Unlock Bootloader Yes, but if you Backup TA you can Relock your Bootloader without losing Warranty.

1. Did you downgrade with the unofficial Flashtool? Also, did you use the NUTS FTF or the official FTF?

3. How did you upgrade directly to .136? Via Sony Companion? FOTA? And is root access kept?

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Read before post, all threads explain and you asking always the same question. You want root, then there is no official way for it.

BTW, you can use all FTF which you like, I recommended the FTF by NUT because with that you will preserve your IMEI.

Yes.

To preserve Root you cannot use PC Companion, FOTA or anything like that, just Flashtool v.0.9.13 and update to .136. You can skip the Update to .290 and go directly to .136, both of them using the same method so go for .136.

[Xperia Z1 General] Alucarde:
Thanks to all who chipped in to help. I currently owned the Z1 for about 4 days. While I previously owned an Android phone, I am totally new to the Sony smartphones as well as their file systems.

Part of the reason why I chose to buy to this phone is the apparent ease of root. However, it seems that that is not the case. 4.3 apparently is not rootable with 1-click. Compounded by the fact is that there is some sort of unique identifier in this TA partition (whatever that is).

Please treat me as a noob and answer my queries with as much info as possible.

Believe me when I said I have done my fair share of reading and trying to understand what is the entire process all about, I am still not really making any sense of most of it. There is only so much Google can do for you before you start seeking personalised advice.

Now, from what I gathered in this thread, I apparently need to:

1. Downgrade to 4.2.2 (.534) firmware, using a FTF posted by someone called Nuts. I need to do this 'cos I don't want to lose my IMEI, which is some sort of bug.

2. I then need to root it with a software called "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry". Apparently, Bin4ry is a person and not a software.

3. Then in order to upgrade to 4.3 (.136), I need to flash a special FTF/ZIP by made by Nuts again, using the unofficial Flashtool.

Am I right so far?

If I flash that special FTF/ZIP, does it deviate my Z1 from stock ROM? Can I still get FOTA updates?

Can I do all this without unlocking the bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 General] anakdayak:
After root u need to install the z1 dual recovery.U can still get the FOTA update.Yes u can this without unlocking the BL.
