Just a real quick question I have a rooted Note 3 and if I flash this will I lose all my data on my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
Oops, never mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
If you are stock rooted, it will be an upgrade... You will not loose anything. All your apps and everything will continue to work under lollipop... Odin doesn't erase... Now, the problem is if you are on a custom rom... If you are on a custom rom... Then you might get all sort of force closes when booting lollipop... Hope this helps my friend...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
I plan to try this method with mobile Odin: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59223071&postcount=1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sjancura:
That post states NOT to use Mobile ODIN!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
It says you can't use mobile Odin in Lollipop, but you have to use it to load the Lollipop tar.md5 file and to install SuperSU while you're still on KitKat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sjancura:
Mobile Odin may load the Lollipop system files, but will not update your bootloader to 5.0 and probably not your baseband as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EstradaKing:
Yes it helps!! I have the stock Touchwiz that came with my phone I just got root and that was it. Will having a Xposed Framework cause a problem?

So just be sure and not mess my phone up I go to the Samsung website you linked to on page 39 download Lollipop there, then from there download CF-AutoRoot & RECOVERY TWRP that are linked in the beginning. Once that is done I just follow the guide from there right?

Another question about the IMPORTANT NOTES:

Once the BLUE BAR and then in the other note the RED ANDROID disappear I immediately hold the VOLUME DOWN & HOME BUTTON on both?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derekny:
custom rom

so this wont work if iam on a custom rom ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
Correct. As that post says, you update those with PC Odin. You can get those files here: http://xdaforums.com/note-3-tmobile/general/5-0-n900tuvufob6-extracted-stock-t3047672.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EstradaKing:
Why are you using this method and not the one on this thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sjancura:
Ok. My mistake in misunderstanding your goal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
Make a backup of Xposed and all the modules via Titanium... (doesn't hurt a backup) And deactivate Xposed... It will not work under lollipop... So, yes... It's better to deactivate Xposed prior the upgrade in order to avoid issues when booting lollipop.

Then... Follow the guide...

Regarding the red notes... Yes... Home plus down volume on both... (just to be on the safe side)

Yes it works... It's just that you will have to remove data... (wipe data) in order for lollipop to boot. In other words... You can upgrade coming from a custom rom... But most likely lollipop won't boot well until you remove data via TWRP... You will have to make sure you have a backup of all your apps via titanium prior the upgrade...

Backup apps... Upgrade (wiping data)... Restore apps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
Because I don't care to trip Knox at this time. I am currently rooted with towelroot on NK3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EstradaKing:
Alright Xposed backed-up and deactivated (Check)

Downloaded CF-Auto root, TWRP, Samsung USB drivers (Check)

Download Lollipop from SamMobile (Check)

Will follow guide now now

THANKS TEKHD!!!!! for being so helpful!!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gotojanoo:
any other link for N900TUVUFOB6 tar download please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sloanster:
I did these steps and that's great... but I would add 1 more before you start customizing to your likes is to double check everything took by using phone info...

I had to start all over because the modem and bootloader did not update to the latest version!

But it was all good, I was out of practice...

Can these instructions be followed and use CWM instead of twrp?

Don't trust twrp, always have used CWM with no issues, and have read and come across threads relating twrp with problems concerning lollipop.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
yes... Normal... Nothing to worry...

I can't at the moment... If someone can... Please... I will gladly post in OP. Sorry my friend...

Sure... Yes, you can follow instructions and flash CWM instead of TWRP... No problem at all...

Excellent!!!! I successfully upgraded to Lollipop, only thing is I don't think my Wifi Calling is working anymore. Any advice?

After this upgrade I should make a new Nandroid back-up using TWRP right?

After a long wait Finally we go Lollipop(Legit). I followed OP to a "T" and all is well so far. Thank you TEKHD!! I haven't tinkered at all just yet. I wanted to know if it recommended to install apps(NO DATA-just apps) from TB(titanium backup). My apps started too install from the play store automatically but it only installed half and did a few updates.. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
Well, this is what I do... Just my opinion...

I usually install them from Titanium (App + Data) now... There are some apps that verify play store download (specially paid apps) and if you restore them thru Titanium, you might get License issues. So I basically install from Titanium (app + data) all the free apps and with the paid apps I often install them from Play Store and then restore just Data from Titanium.

Hope this helps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cr1130:
Perfecto!

This worked perfect. thanks again.. Taking a look in Titanium I've always notice a bunch of apps I have no idea what they are for or even needed. Do you know if there is a list floating somewhere that shows whats ok to delete from titanium that WONT bork our wonderful devices? Thanks again

You need to wait for a custom kernel. The stock one won't let you go permissive. They should be coming out shortly, but there aren't any with T-Mobile's full feature set, yet.

Hello to the entire XDA comunity specially to OP, I did everything step by step but I run into a problem, The first attempt to install the rom from sam mobile it failed, I change the usb cable and that solve the problem, 2nd time installing the rom everything went fine, i was able to install chainfire auto root as well as recovery,then it was time to reboot my phone for the first time, once it went through the process i had all kinds of problems with FC's, system, etc. Then I found all my apps from previous rom, using odin, it basically did an update and i always thought that odin actually erases everything including internal storage. Can somebody tell me what went wrong, or what else should i do next time? i was able to restore my backup, I guess that was pure luck.......Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] guaneet:
Right after you successfully Odin to stock you boot into factory recovery and do a factory data wipe. Then you'll boot up fresh.

baseband won't update

Hoping someone can help me with an issue. I have N900TUVUFOB6 installed via odin but my baseband is still NK3. I tried using triangle away but just reboots the phone. After the reboot using triangle away I can no longer get into recovery unless I flash recovery again via odin. I've used triangle away tons of times and never had an issue like this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jayster0966:
Have you tried pulling the battery then entering download mode manually, then flash using odin?

That did it! Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Akim1220:
Can you be a bit more clear about Important Note #1 and when to do it? The only blue bar I saw was the update % bar. Am I suppose to press Vol Down + home once the bar is full?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
Yes... As soon as your phone gets the full rom update from ODIN it will automatically reboot... At this point, try to be ready because as soon as it starts to boot, you will see the blue bar in the screen of the phone. And... That blue bar will disappear in less than 10 seconds with another reboot... That's the reboot that you need to catch...

Coming from rooted kitkat tweaked rom will updating to lollipop wipe my whole phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] guaneet:
I don't think it will as long as you don't boot into factory recovery and wipe after you Odin to lollipop. But it is adviced you do wipe everything to prevent f/c and errors

Baseband Update

I came from DomPop V5.4 with NF9. I was able to install both DomPop URv1 and DomPop URv2 without any issues and my baseband is still NF9. Awesome Rom, amazing battery life. Now i am trying to see if i can update the baseband to OB6. Is there a shorter way to update the baseband other than to follow the guide and Install Stock OB6/CF-ROOT/Custom Recovery? Great and detailed guide by the way, and i don't mind following the procedure if that's the only way. But i'm trying to see if there is an alternate and quicker way for folks who are coming from a Lolipop ROM. I did try the 'BULLET PROOF (FAIL SAFE) INSTALLATION' but i'm guessing that just flashing the kernel doesn't update the baseband. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. And thanks to TEKHD for this wonderful ROM and the great guide.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TEKHD:
Short answer...

Yes... You will have to ODIN... in order to update baseband... But... But... If you are currently ok with rom/baseband... (no issues) then there is no vital need to update baseband... You can stay with current baseband. That's up to you really.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BiGrOsOuTh:
Thanks for the quick reply good sir. Your ROM is running great with the NF9 baseband without any issues so I'll stick to that. No need to fix it if it ain't broken I suppose. Thanks again.
