Alternate Download

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with providing an alternate download. My work blocks Mega and I was hoping to see if I can flash an older modem to see if it gave better service in my area.

Thanks,

You can just flash these with Odin right? I can't get them to work, when I flash MJ4 or NAB everything passes but once it boots into android it still says NC5 as my modem version. What am I doing wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] damastah:
Yeah, Odin. The program is going through the entire flash successfully?

I just tried it twice in a row and now it says MJ4 for baseband version AND software version.. I'm still on 4.4.2 though.

Edit: also using NC5D bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
There are two things that I think might help...

Power off phone completely.

When I was updating from MJ4 to NAB, I was directed to power off the phone completely before powering on to Download Mode. If I choose the "Restart to Download Mode" option, it doesn't stick.

Install the Engineering Bootloader, then try again.

Again, I'm not 100% sure if this will fix it, but the

Engineering Bootloader

is described as "allowing us to easily flash basebands in the future," so it could help you out. I'd still power the phone completely off prior to installing both the bootloader and the modem.

I hope one of these two works for you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thanhdang:
Thanks! Powering the phone off completely works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kchitown1977:
done some reading in nc5d leak thread ,is it possible to go back to mj4 from nc5d. some said successful going back to mj4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Not at all. Once you're on TouchWiz KitKat (NAB, NC5), you cannot go back to MJ4.

The only thing you can do is flash the engineering bootloader, and flash any of the modems listed (NC5, NAB, MJ4).

enginerring bootloader

so if i am on stock 4.4.2 and flashed the mj4 modem then i coould brick my phone or wiil the modem flash go through?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] damastah:
No, if you have a stock system, you should be fine. We use this all the time with customers who are on 4.4.2 and need the downgrade. Doing it from 4.4.4 causes issues, so it's better to downgrade to 4.4.2 first if possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dreamgun:
Found this German page just off of Google with what appears to have a guide on rooting kitkat without voiding knox...

http://www.mobtivity.com/de/news/galaxy-note-3-update-auf-android-kitkat-mit-root-und-knox-0x0.html

I posted the link in another thread as well, but figure a new thread will give it some more attention.

Not sure if this would even work on the T-Mobile note 3.

I've never personally rooted before, but planning to once a knox friendly method has been confirmed for KitKat!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] WellTrainedVC:
Interesting. Going to have to look into the original No-Knox Trip thread too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] joetzzz:
SUCCESS! 4.4.2 KitKat Rooted with Knox 0x0!

Success! Followed the German guide in the link and now I have 4.4.2 KitKat Rooted with Knox 0x0! Below is the bootloader file that I created and used.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dreamgun:
Awesome stuff haha. I wonder how this roots without voiding knox :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] belozeroff:
I wonder if there were more successes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Muffycheeks:
Could you post us a picture of your phone with the proof....seeing is believing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
So you followed every step and just used the bootloader file you uploaded instead of theirs and you are now rooted with KNOX 0x0? Not that I dont believe you, but can you show a screen shot of this please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] joetzzz:
My words are my proof, my friend. It's too much trouble for me right now to have to take picture of the Download mode screen. Sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] belozeroff:
THIS IS T-Mobile Note 3 Forum, why are saying: "Not sure if this would even work on the T-Mobile note 3" ???

wrong forum...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] joetzzz:
Yes. Just follow the steps. The trickiest part is the extracting bootloader. I had to open the command prompt, go to the folder, and run the batch file, instead of running it directly from Windows explorer. That's why I posted the file here for others to benefit.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

I confirm that it works on my T-Mobile Note 3 SM-N900T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Just to clarify

This method has been used for some time here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522729&page=69

Also, this is not a 4.4 root method, rather it takes advantage of root while on 4.3 (ex. Root de la vega). So if you already installed the 4.4 bootloader, you have to wait for something else to come along.

You use mobile odin pro (which requires you already have root) to flash the 4.4 ROM while injecting root into it, however mobile odin pro never touches the bootloader and so if you stop there, you can't boot back into your phone. It's a soft brick. You need to update to the 4.4 bootloader using Odin on the desktop after using MOP to flash the ROM.

I tried this the day the update came out and got stuck on the booting recovery screen after I flashed my own 4.4 extracted bootloader. I was forced to Odin to the complete 4.4 and I am stuck with no root unless I auto-cf and lose knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
So what your saying is, this doesnt work like the person before you said, correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
I think my bootloader file wasn't created right. This should technically work if the bootloader is correct. It's for preserving a rooted 4.3 to 4.4, not rooting 4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidhead36:
What's the best and easiest way to to create a bootloader file? I need one for different version of note 3. Any issues since using this method? Like spen or force closes or anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeeradej:
The tool in the German guide is supposed to be able to create a bootloader from any rom, given you have the md5 file from Sammobile. Use Google translate if you can't read German.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] happytommy:
Ok it works. Pretty easy instruction. Knox still 0x0. But I had to spend $4.99 to buy Mobile Odin Pro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dreamgun:
Things are getting a little confusing... I think this needs an english guide with requirements that people can follow and understand. Q_Q
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Agreed. Someone that has done this, can you make a quick guide on how to do this exactly coming from 4.3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krishsastry:
I followed the guide and got to 4.4 with root access and KNOX is still on 0x0.

1. I got the initial root on 4.3 with root_de_la_vega and used regionaway to unlock the device as I am currently using my N900T with ATT.

2. Followed all the steps to create the bootloader file after getting the stock firmware for 4.4.

3. Followed the instructions as described on the page using google translater via chrome.

4. After applying the firmware using mobile odin pro...the device gets stuck at recovery booting.

5. Took off the battery for a few and then finally made it to download mode.

6. Tried to use the BL option, but the version of ODIN I had didn't provide an option to choose the BL.

7. Download the ODIN from the instruction page and that provided the option to load the BL i created using the method.

8. Finally the device booted, and I still have root access with KNOW 0x0 and running on 4.4 as well.

Let me know if you need the bootloader file I created and I shall upload the same.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tbukkos:
Confirmed working; did this yesterday following the instructions, step by step like on the website mentioned; started from 4.3 rooted with Root de la Vega 0x0 Knox flag, unpacked tar.md5 file, created bootloader with the script provided, flashed firmware from Mobile Odin (need to be careful to select after flash option to download mode before you click flash now), then flashed the bootloader I've created using the Odin version provided in the link; everything went smooth, no softbricks, got to keep all my apps and settings, now my phone is running 4.4.2 and is rooted with the Knox flag untouched, 0x0. Only issue I've seen so far is that my default email application keeps FC-ing, can't use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Now if you were on 4.4.2 unrooted this won't work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hamsup1o:
That's great news! Now does it retain root if you factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Factory reset wipes data, internal sd and caches only does not touch system partition. .. Any edit to system including root won't be touched with a factory reset. ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] invensmaster:
Confirmed working. Was on 4.3 rooted with De lavega followed the german site after using Chrome to translate no force close so far every thing looks good. Checked the knox still 0*0. you have to follow step by step it's easy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
But can someone answer the question of will this work after you already upgraded to 4.4.2 with no root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xile6:
No.

It does not work on 4.4 kitkat.

It only works on 4.3 while upgrading to kitkat.

So if early updaters still gotta wait till there is a root without tripping knox on 4.4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Good to know. .I already tripped mine on accident, but I upgraded the first day so it wouldn't matter either way.thanx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
This needs to be made a sticky in the dev forum or at least in General. This is great info! Will try this myself once I get a few hours free time to just tinker on this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
We have not put this up because people have the potential to hard brick their phones. This method uses an exploit where it soft bricks your phone, then you use the bootloader on a computer to recover from the soft brick. Not everybody is knowledgeable enough to recover from a soft brick, so any exploit that causes bricking of any kind is not suggested.

THIS METHOD SHOULD BE USED BY EXPERIENCED PEOPLE ONLY.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
I disagree. If people dont know how to root other than using a 1-click method, they shouldnt be rooting. But thats a whole other story. Glad to know there is this. Now to make sure my fav xposed modules will still work with KK.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
When I bricked my phone trying to force the bootloader last time, it took 2 hours to finally get it to recover. Think of my skill level to somebody that just tries to do this exploit and bricks theirs. I see alot of people in line at T-Mo trying to get replacement phones. LOL. And i agree, people shouldn't be rooting if they don't know what they are doing. Be we have come a long way from the N1 and Vibrant rooting days. And the Rezound Pin trick :mad: just to unlock the bootloader and gain root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
The problem is that there's no school for this, so you're expecting people to be at a certain level . In a perfect world it would be great if everybody was that educated to do this . But would be nice if someone would translate entire site into some instruction, post links and actually make a tutorial...YouTube
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
WOW. This statement is a perfect example of someone that should not be rooting. Ever heard of Google translate? Or how about reading a few posts up on how people have given steps on how to do this on their own accounts. I mean, come on guy. I work 14 hour days and have a new born and I still find time to FULLY read things before jumping into it. Should try it some time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] imaleecher:
Another confirmation for a successful update with this method. Knox is still at 0x0.

Had issues building the bootloader file on my Windows 8 x64. Kept giving me an error when it tries to build my file. Switched over to another PC using Windows 7 x86 and no issues there.

No forced closes but I will let you know if something acts up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] patrao_n:
Being that xda is a site for developers, I believe it should be put up for everyone to use. Rooting and modifying system software is meant for experienced people. Not for the "I can haz rootz? "People who dont know a damn thing and complain when devs dont create something in their freetime. Xda is being over run more and more everyday by people who have no intention of ever learning anything. Just give me give me. Put a warning on it and put it up.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diegots:
nothing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
Somewhere your perms are hosed. It's making a call to something, without a logcat i can't tell you what. I would say, flash a new rom over top of it, or just wipe and flash a new rom all together.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] beowolf:
Thanks guys, It worked great without a hitch. My phone is rebooted and updating. Hopefully there are no weird issues. If I factory reset will I still have root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Yes you will still have root. Factory reset does not take away root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Really? you took this wrong. .. my phone is rooted and I know what I'm doing. ..This comes easy to me. .. If you been in these forums as long as I have then you know what I'm taking about. ..

Maybe should have worded it diff then. Came off as you asking for something like that to be done. And, BAHAHAHHA...Ill leave it at that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nickles96:
Success for me as well

Coming from stock DLV rooted 4.3

this is very easy.

Download the firmware.

install mobile odin pro.

make sure Mobile Odin puts you into Download mode after flashing the firmware on the device.

then Odin (the only Odin package that worked for me was the one posted on the German thread)

and flash the BL (i used the one that a user attached on page one, so i didnt mess with the tar extractor or anything)

Follow the steps in the guide, and you'll be golden.

ALL of my data, settings, apps etc. remain intact!!

happy camper.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] beowolf:
Thanks, this is wonderful!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hurdubaiev:
To those who have used this method what size is the bootloader file you created with the tool in the link?

I used the tool and the size of the bootloader file I created following the instructions is the same as the whole rom:

2,133,895 KB original image and 2,133,901 KB output bootloader file. Is this normal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nickles96:
I just used the BL that a user posted on the first page.. didnt bother with the extract tool from the german website.

When you unzip it, you will have 'bootloader.tar.md5' with a file size of 1,861kb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nygmam:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] abaysal:

Hello, I've been looking for some post to introduce myself but I haven't been able to find it so here is my question: is this root procedure possible if you're mj7 in 4.3 Android version? Thank you and see you soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mapache73:
+1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wonderbread24:
This is for rooting 4.4, not 4.3. Search the FAQ for Universal Root De La Vega method or CF Autoroot. Its all there for what you need/want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mapache73:
but the link to the German website puts kikat to update with root and knox 0? and to all note 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daviddrf:
Excuse me m8 but I think you're wrong. If you check these FAQ you'll notice that this two methods or procedures put Knox to 0x1: Q2 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488431) . What we want is being able to put N9005 (not N900T) with european CSC from 4.3 with mj7 compilation or 4.4.2 to rooted 4.4.2 version WITHOUT Knox 0x1, we want Knox 0x0. Goodbye.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] coolcutter:
Ok quick question for those who've had success. Do I flash a n9005 firmware or the n900t firmware? And also what region do I download?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonstalker:
What I think he was trying to say is only use this method if you want to upgrade your phone from 4.3 to 4.4 without tripping Knox. The 2 ways in my FAQ Thread are for rooting overall. CF_Autoroot will trip your Knox. If you want to upgrade to 4.4 this method is said to work without setting the Knox to 0x1.

Since you have a N9005 and not a N9005t, then you should really be looking for these answers on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 forum. This forum is more geared towards U.S. T-Mobile and not deutsche telekom t-mobile as a whole.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daviddrf:
First of all, excuse me for by mad english. I think the best way to solve our doubts is all or some part of these people who wrote on the first messages of this post that the german procedure worked fine to put their Note 3 into rooted KitKat is to tell us which CSC, original Android version and Note 3 version (900T or 9005) had them before starting the procedure. Then if the circunstances are the same more people would try to follow this german procedure without move Knox to 0x1. Thank you all for the information and seee you soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nygmam:
For those of you who are having issues with your phone after this, or wiped it, and now have errors and crashes, try flashing the CSC.tar file in my thread below. I made it, tried it on my phone, and it fixed all my issues.

I was planning to take the plunge and use this method but then realized that if something bricks on our phones, we will not be able to root again without tripping knox. Right now on 4.3, if something ever happens and I couldnt get my phone to boot, I can odin 4.3 MI7 and root again using DLV. Hopefully I am wrong on this.

Well for those who need clarification this method does work! Just flash stock tmobile sm-900t firmware with mobile odin pro and flash bootloader from post 3 with odin after and your done!
