^ This

Now everyone please get back onto some sort of topic that is related to the thread title or I will close this thread, I don't see why moderators should have to babysit this thread.

Edit: androidflea I can see post edits you know...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] androidflea:
Please can post it for me,I have no idea why it didn't post?

Basically it explained that the difference with BTU is not ONLY bloatware, battery drain and wakelocks had nothing to do with apps from carriers.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] poplectic:
I still think BTU update will happen before me. I'm with three I'll probably not see kit kat til the summer. I'd love to know how three can update to kit kat in other countries but not in the UK though?

...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Three are pretty quick now, compared to what they used to be at least.-- O2/Vodafone/Three/EE will all roll around the same time -- O2 will be last out of them
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jah:
According to member Gavinfabl we get kitty kat tomorrow. I'll be checking at 0530, as soon as I wake up :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gavinfabl:
Jah. It's likely postponed until Tuesday. I believe they want the S5 announcement to go out first.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] carols:
and how do you know this ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nookcoloruser:
There would be no tangible benefit to postponing a software update that is already rolling out in other territories because of the S5 announcement.

None of the new features rumored for the S5 such as the magazine ux interface are suddenly going to unlock on the Note 3 after announcement so why halt what is already rolling out.

We will get 4.4.2 when Samsung flip the switch for the BTU territory. That's all. There is no conspiracy.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] androidflea:
Can I just confirm, is it just the UK BTU that hasn't got it? Or have Poland BTU got it?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] carols:
there is no Poland BTU listed on the sammobile web site

there is Poland XEO
[Galaxy Note 3 General] androidflea:
Thanks, just making sure
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RokkaMan:
No bought sim free straight from Amazon, not a marketplace seller or anything
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nookcoloruser:
Just because you bought from Amazon.co.uk doesn't mean your phone is UK BTU firmware.

It could easily be any other European / International version.

Download CSC Samsung app from play store and run it to find what version you actually have, it is likely not what you think.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Yup, Exactly what [MENTION=3567808]nookcoloruser[/MENTION] said. -

Amazon have been shipping Malaysian unbranded devices to the UK and there's been some other regions also.

Yup, so this week is UK OTA. Let's hope its today-tomorrow. But from S5 images, there is no big changes in UI of new Samsung TW.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
Because You have on /efs/imei/mps_code.dat DBT (and other people XEO) by default and this Rom BTU have also DBT and XEO inside. Then You stay whit Your default DBT (and others whit XEO).

Flash first after wipe data + cache + dalvik (or the 2 first if You have stock recovery) the Singapore XSP, not having DBT.

After new full wipe flash BTU Rom and You have BTU.

See this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2670084

Or if You have one Customer recovery and root access You can flash a Mod. CSC from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2666907

Now i have NB7 UK.If i flash Singapore NB4 will trip knox?

eddlum25 good morning. :)) the link is on 3 or 4 different threads.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] winwiz:
Can you explain further please?

So if I flash the Singapore ROM, My CSC will change to XSP? is this ROM not a multi CSC ROM, so that when I then flash the UK BTU ROM my CSC will revert to BTU?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zomig:
The way i read this is that if you are on either poland or german rom, if before flashing you do a full wipe inc data and davlik and then flash the BTU it will change the csc to BTU.

Need to test this myself but wont be able to till this evening.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] winwiz:
hmmm, but what if you are already on BTU?

When you boot into stock recovery and wipe either the cache or do a full factory reset, it tells you there which CSC it has flashed...Mine is always XEO
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
Exactly. You understood well. The Singapore Rom have also one Multi-csc OLB but only from Asia Counties.

I corrected your quote whit "Rom OXX or OXA".

But I think that flashing only complete stock rom's from SamMobile the Knox never be triped.

I invite someone to respond to this better then me.

Thank You

Ok.So i flash Singapore XSP NB4 over BTU NB7 don't trip knox.Now i have XTC CSC.Now i will flash BTU over to see if i can change CSC to BTU.

Not sure if it's possible, but is there any way to flash just the modem from this?

I'm not really up for flashing back to stock then to X-Note just for modem update. I'm currently on Polish NB1 Baseband.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zomig:
I am pretty sure this is possible but you will need to have root and probably trip the knox. I think ValenteL was working on making a zip for it on one of the other threads.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] winwiz:
Awesome

I can confirm that this has worked for me too

Now running NB7 with BTU CSC! Many thanks to everyone who helped
[Galaxy Note 3 General] EyeTech:
Thanks for all your support ValenteL. If I wait for your BTU mod.csc and flash it from custom recovery will I still need to wipe user data? I'm coming from Poland 4.4.2

[Galaxy Note 3 General] dsm52:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but NB1 is latest baseband and will be same for BTU, DBT, XEO, etc.

Do you have any specific problems? I'm on xnote 12 with DBT's NB1 and it's working great with O2 4G.

Those who want to update to NB1 baseband only check OP of this thread where it says "if modem not updated to NB1" & follow steps:

(I flashed the tar.md5 file with Mobile Odin Pro instead of pc odin as I'm still knox 0x0, but others have not had same success as me.)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
BTU and ITV Mod's CSC to flash by costumer recovery are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2666907

Yes, after flash the Mod is need to wipe data + cache + dalvik and make a new configuration to validate the new CSC.

If You have a Backup from Your Rom before You can make a Restore data only from it, Option Advanced Restore on recovery, work well always for me. I have all my appl and screens alright. The appl are optimized to new Rom and kernel.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @home:
Got the OTA Update installed to have a look & am now wondering whether or not to flash the whole Rom via Odin to have a nice clean install of KK.

What do you think?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Brownie2k:
Not too sure, but I'm getting horrible reception on the Polish baseband.

In the end, I just flashed BTU KK and reflashed X-Note 12. Not bothered about 0x1 knox as if I have any huge problems with my phone, I've got insurance on it, plus I've never had a problem with any of the Samsung phones I've had. (Probably just jinxed it now haha)

Reception seems to have improved with this BB, but it might just be a placebo effect, not too sure, but i'm happy with it.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jesper10:
Guys,

Can you still use pattern/pin lockscreen since the KitKat update?

Mine only works on first unlock and then it no longer works, when I jit the home/power button I go straight into the phone, no pattern/pin asked for...really infuriating me, it's not an app as I started in safe mode and it's the same.

Also, does anyone have the promised camera shortcut on the pattern/pin unlock screen?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:

I use 3 ireland firmware because it's single csc

Then fully wipe reset the device end than instal btu firmware via odin 3.09 and here it's full btu csc
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jesper10:
Thanks, I'm downloading from Sammobile now.

Any way of flashing so as I don't lose all my data?

Are you having any of the problems I'm having at all?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Random freezing, S.O.D, high battery drain and everything went generally slow

Regarding my mobile signal issues I'll have to wait till Wednesday. I've realised when I'm on the train and I lose signal, it didn't catch the signal again till I had turned on airplane mode and turned it off again.

I flashed the 3 kitkat update over 4.3 (both unrooted) using odin yesterday. Had this error too but had to flash a pit file (link below) in odin which fixed it (though I lost all my data and internal SD data too). Here's the link in case someone else has same problem

http://www.cultofandroid.com/53963/save-galaxy-note-3-failed-kitkat-update-odin-tip/

Note 3 is definitely faster but will take a few days to see if battery improved.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Yea i had the ota update. I never really did like them how is the 300 mb update same as the 1.2gb update? Surely not everything that has been updated can be packed into that much
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
See Samsung still hasn't sorted out the camera wifi bug yet, where you get those flickering lines when wifi is enabled. :(

Not that it matter much to me as i don't leave the wifi running unless i'm downloading a large file, but it still be nice if they fixed this problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] denski101:
Have you tried other camera apps? Here's a new favourite of mine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom

Yeah it's exacly the same. The reason it's smaller is cause its piggy backing on the files that are already installed on your device. Where as the bigger update contains the whole Rom. No need to worry, your not missing out on anything.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gavinfabl:
There's a number of a pen improvements I have found so far. More pen window apps and editable. Handwriting keyboard options moved to the bottom, white status bar icons , settings have improved icons next to each option, notifications font is different. Camera shortcut if no security enabled on lock screen. Album art on lock screen.

Anything else discovered?

I've had no issues with anything yet. Just a lot faster too.

Btw. Watch the camera settings. The camera quality option has been dropped in settings after update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] paul_59:
I am sure someone will find something
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
Quick question is it worth a reset & wipe after flashing kitkat?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] denski101:
It's advisable, but if you can get away with it you should be good. I've dirty flashed three official firmwares in a row, battery life is good& no FCs on my end. If you do experience any issues then a reset and wipe would be a no brainer.

EDIT: I'm assuming your on an official Rom and not Custom. If you are custom then I'd do a factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cd78:
After using KitKat for around a week now I can definitely say that battery life is worse. Draining quicker for sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tarny:
That's really strange...I was inpatient and installed the Poland rom KitKat and I found the battery was draining really bad. 7am was the time my charger was disconnected and by mid afternoon it was needing the charger connected again..the 4.3 jellybean would last all day until I went to bed around 10pm without a charge. I have since updated to the UK version KitKat BTU Rom and after usages yesterday was still at 50% by bedtime and I used 4g,GPS and internet all day and also Google maps .

I think to me the BTU KitKat seems better on battery than the Poland ROM..strange.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zomig:
In order for me to get BTU CSC coming from 1st poland rom all i did was after i flashed BTU rom via odin i downloaded the csc for BTU and flashed this via CWM recovery. Did a full wipe/cache etc and rebooted. Restored all apps via advanced restore in CWM, phone back to how it was in around 5 minutes.

All working, someone may find this useful as saves flashing 2 roms, you do need root access and knox will be tripped flashing the zip via cwm.

Thanks

Hi guys

I have Note 3 SM-N9005.

It's unrooted and Knox warranty is intact (0x0)

The region is EU and the firmware if of Vodafone.

My question is how to check the bootloader and carrier lock status?

It's already at 4.4.2.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] st3chn0:
Go to play store and download phone info

Did you do a full wipe before updating?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] brendonwardmusic:
Still nothing on the O2 side of things.

I am not rooted and never will be, questions if I flash the 4.4 BTU through Odin will it trip Knox? Also if I flash the BTU firmware will my CSC change to BTU? Will I still get OTA also?

Thanks guys ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tatoo069sv:

It's an O2 contract that I took out for my daughter. 100% O2 OTA yesterday my friend
[Galaxy Note 3 General] uvaman:
Samsung gave the target for Note 3 Android 5.0 untill Februrary 2015 :(

Still depends on Nexus line....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Brownie2k:
I don't think the o2 branded KitKat has rolled out yet. plus, from experience, most o2 phones are unbranded when bought through Phones4U, Carphone Warehouse etc

As for flashing the BTU, no, it won't trip Knox, and yes you will go from being o2 CSC to unbranded BTU CSC, which means your OTA updates will be when the rest of the UK on BTU gets theirs too.

If your phone is network locked, it might be worth getting it unlocked before flashing to BTU, if infact that's what you want to do.

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Best way to find out is to download Phone INFO from play store and check the CSC section.

If you bought from Carphone Warehouse etc, then chances are you have an unbranded/unlocked phone. Most o2 phones sold anywhere other then o2 online or o2 shops are unbranded and usually unlocked too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] brendonwardmusic:
Thanks for the information, I'll get flashed over to BTU sometime tonight.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] tatoo069sv:
Your correct. I ran through phone info and BTU is installed. I also got it from phones4u lol. I never knew that lol. Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Brownie2k:
Just for your information, when you decide to flash 4.4.2, make sure you select "Update Bootloader" in Odin. I used Odin 3.09 ran as administrator

If you don't, it won't damage your phone, it just means that you'll have to reflash it again with Upade Bootloader selected. Data wipe isn't really required, if you have no problems, don't do it :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] c0manche:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] martytarty:
i flashed kitkat btu with odin and I didn't tick the 'UPDATE BOOTLOADER OPTION'

I have since rooted with cf auto root but all seems fine, everything works, no battery drain or anything.

Should I bother re-flashing and ticking bootloader option?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Brownie2k:
If all seems fine then I don't see why you should... you have the option to go back to 4.3 if you want.

I've read that it can cause a few issues with WiFi and the sorts, but I don't know how true it is though.

If you have no intention of going back to 4.3, then it might be worth reflashing for stability purposes, but that's your choice. Once you go to KitKat bootloader, theres no way back to 4.3 at this moment in time I believe.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djrm:
Im not sure how a reasonably tech savvy person is having so much trouble finding the answer to my headache....:silly:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] marc.knuckle:
hi guys. i was hoping for a little help and guidance.

firstly an explanation of my situation and concerns.

i bought my note 3 from Three uk but quickly put the stock samsung firmware, XXUDMJ7. when i look in KIES it shows MJ7 then something else then H3G is part of the last bit (cant check as i'm at work)

i have been waiting for 2 things. the 4.4.2 update and the carrier update from Three to enable 4g as it isnt in the settings at present.

after a few calls to samsung i am no further along with when/if i will get 4.4.2 and it still shows in both the phone and kies that i have the latest software.

after a few calls to Three i still dont know who will send me/how i'll receive the update to allow 4g as they believe Samsung should send it now i installed the stock firmware whereas Samsung believe Three should send it as i bought it from them and still use them as my network.

so, if i install the latest BTU firmware from sammonile (N9005XXUENB7, N9005OXAENB1, N9005XXUENB1) which i believe i use ODIN to do as i did before with MJ7 (but cant remember what i did), will this allow the 4g option to be toggled?

will this then not show H3G in KIES?

will this install the 4.4.2 bootloader i read about on this thread? (i dont know if that is needed)

lastly, what options would i chose in odin to not wipe data?

thanks guys
