I have the same kernel. It does not affect rotation. Check if it is disabled in settings.

Hi guys

I am in step that i have to flash the real kernel for my version. In the list of link there is not my version. Its BTU the latest one in sammobile. How i can find my real kernel to reflash it and done? pda vers N9005XXUGNG1

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mX87m:
Yes I did remove Samsung Hub, but I still have a back up for it. I just installed it and the problem is still there. I also removed Touch Wiz ?. Should I return everything the way it was before, cause the reason I rooted my device is to get rid of these garbage. Thanks guys for the support. ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] shev100:
The backup didn't work. You need to copy this file https://mega.co.nz/#!YBV1HYIQ!7fNc-JOkHTkRzyuFmWjPU1N9mnbC-PJ3NrsxHrR8Hj0 into system/lib and set permission to rw-r--r--. Then reboot and the rotation should work
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mX87m:
Thank you shev100 I wish I could kiss you :)

the file was already there, I just needed to edit the permissions

everything is working fine now.

but what Samsung Hub had to do with system rotation? this is really wired.

I get the following in Settings :

and

Which ROM version should I download in step #5 as there are two roms with both names mentioned above.

Also while loading up Odin : Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked by default. Is that fine or I should tick something else?

HELP! How to pic the right Kernel

Hi Friends,

I am a relative newbie and this is the first time I am attempting Rooting my phone. I have gone thru the thread , but have not found a definitive answer (with confirmation). Request your help in understanding which kernel to pick in Point #5

My current config is ..

Model : SM-N9005 running stock android 4.4.2

Baseband Version : N9005XXUGNG1

Build Number : KOT49H.N9005XXUGNJ2

In such situations where the baseband and the build numbers differ, which is the right kernel one should use in point #5? In this case should I pick the one ending GNG1 (baseband) or the one ending GNJ2 (the build number) ... both kernels are there in the link

Pardon me if the question is a bit DUH :o - I am not very conversant with the terms used.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wato4000:
Download the kernel END3 and the towelroot app. Install towelroot app, Then flash END3 kernal with pc odin ver 3.09. Open towelroot app hit make it rain. Phone now rooted check it with root checker. Delete towelroot app. Then flash kernel GNJ2 back on with pc odin and your done. Knox 0x0
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cmatic2:
I understand the steps.. What I need help with is to identify the right Kernel to use in point # 5. Do I go but the BASEBAND or the BUILD number.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wato4000:
Check my previous post I edited it. But use GNJ2 OK.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] cmatic2:
Thank you for your input. This member here seems to have given the opposite advice! What will be the risk of flashing the wrong one?

From the opening post, Point #5 states :

5. Download your original kernel, matched to the ROM version you are using. Flash it in the same way as in p.3:

For my understanding in the future, which one is the "original ROM' and the kernal (is the Baseband the original ROM or one under the Build
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cmatic2:
Followed the steps and flashed - used GNJ2 Kernal - went ultra smoothly. Knox counter is '0'. Installed SuperSU and Titanium Backup. Thank you all!

For anyone else who stumbles on different Baseband and Build numbers, pick the kernel corresponding to the BUILD NUMBER.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sword_fish89:
who gave the Opposite advice to whom ?? i jz mentioned to use the kernel matching to the BUILD number UGNJ2 and not the BASEBAND version.:silly:

Wato4000 had initially recommended using GNG1 - he edited his message as I posted this. :)

I have a new issue

I used the phone and all the features for three days. However yesterday I ran a backup for the first time using Titanium backup ( all settings and apps) and since then my GPS seems to have conked off.... it keeps hunting and does not get a lock. I have tried rebooting multiple times, tried using it with both with Google Maps and Sygic (paid version) but both dont get a GPS lock. I was using the GPS successfully even that morning, so I have to assume the Titanium backup process must have messed something up . I found that once the back up process was over, I lost the wall paper I had set (reverted to a blank one), and a few other settings as well (keyboard reverted to default Samsung keyboard from Swype etc).

While the other settings i was able to change manually, I cannot do without GPS. Pls help!

DO I reflash the GNJ1 kernel .. or do I have to do a factory reset?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sword_fish89:
U r again messing up things..what is the point in reflashing UGNJ1 kernel if u have UJNJ2 ROM build?:laugh: if u hav issues, reflash the stock rom(N9005XXUGNJ2) via Odin, then root by flashing END3 kernel, make it rain, and then flash back to ur orignl kernal UGNJ2..i too hav the same build version, knox untripped, with titanium back up installed with zero issues till nw..do as said..ward off frm UGNJ1..:D

Note 3 LTE International version - never rooted - it is now rooted!

Disclaimer: Im a noob and this was my first ever root.

Thanks. It worked. I have never rooted and therefore knox was 0x0 so i thought i would try it.

My version was N9005XXUGNG1 and bought it in the UK offline.

Followed the steps and it worked.

Couple of things you need to make crystal clear in the guide.

Explicitly say that you need a sim card with a data plan and you can connect to this i.e have reception and have credit. Where i was sitting, there is a blackspot so i dont get mobile data reception, so i had to go upstairs to get reception. Once i got reception, and as I am on 3 Pay as you go and didn't realise i ran out of credit so had to top up once i realised wifi was disabled after the first flash. Anyway after topping up and enabling 4G data, i could make it rain. :)

Also on my laptop where i was running Odin3 v3.10.6.exe, it did not detect my Note 3, i then enabled USB debugging mode on the developer options (your guide did not mention if you need this on or off) and it still didnt work. I enabled it......I then unplugged my usb mouse so i had nothing in any USB port and then plugged the USB cable into my usb 3.0 port and it then recognized it. I also have samsung drivers and kies 3.0 installed.

Anyway for a noob i thought id give my 2 c and maybe it will help another n00b.

Now i am off to see what i can do with a rooted note 3 - what is all the fuss about? Comments welcome if you want to steer me towards some cool things i should do.

Question: I want to install CM12 but not sure if that will trip knox, should i even care as the phone is old and out of warranty anyway? Is CM12 for Note 3 even stable as of now? It doesnt seem like it is i.e. video recording does not work i hear. What is the best rom for battery life, privacy control and better battery life?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Arthalisan:
Method worked flawlessly (GNG1 here).

1st time rooting but it wasn't so hard as it seemed.

Knox is still 0x0 so no problems there :D

Thank you for help and this awesome topic !

Also, quick info, please note that you need 2 have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed (or any newer version) due to fact that my friend who also tried to root his Note using this method, failed since his Odin (we used the same version 3.09) didn't recognized the phone in download mode.

After the re-installation of drivers, the process was successful and now we have 2 rooted Note3 phones :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BaconTrousers:
As someone that has been rooting and modding for a lot of Years I can't believe I put off doing this for so long. It's probably one of the easiest manual methods of rooting that you can do, and the instructions are as clear as a sunny day.

I root my Note 3 using this method and it worked like a charm (GNG1). Yesterday I received a notification stating that I can upgrade my firmware to lollipop. I backup all my stuff from the phone downloaded the firmware package and run it. It started to work for a while but when the phone boots it says that the update cannot be done and recommended to use Odin. I use supersu to fully unroot then I perform a factory reset from recovery. After phone booted I go to settings and try to software update but it says that I have custom status, probably still rooted or something. Can you guide me to fully unroot my device?

Hi can i root my note 3 n9005 running lollipop without an sd card as my device does not accept sd cards. I have tried a lot of sd cards and it says preparing and then wifi breaks and then i have to remove the card and then restart the phone to get the wifi working again. So is it possible to root without a sd card and install twrp recovery without the sd card.

To install twrp and root it says i have to put the supersu file in the sd card so can i do it without the sd card?

CSC : N9005XEOGBOA4

On 5.0 . is it possible to root with this method. Knox is 0*0. But i need custom recovery / rom so can i keep 0*0?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] louiscar:
I found this thread amongst a lot of others when trying to decide how I update my Note 3 keeping Knox at 0 if possible.

Currently I am rooted with Towelroot already on MJ3 (see my signature) which is still on Jelly Bean. Can I use these instructions to go to Kit Kat or Lollipop without going to UEND3? I presume that UEND3 is the highest version of Kit kat that Towelroot will work on. I'm a little confused by the multitude of instructions to upgrading and keeping Knox.

Since I avoided upgrading from Jelly Bean once I used Towelroot it's been great having root but I'd hate to lose it now that I want to update.

If anyone can offer advice - ie. How you would go about it or what method you'd go with (if not this one) I'd be grateful to filter out all the various methods out there. Keeping Knox would be great but failing that I would consider dumping the rest of my warranty to keep rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dwl99:
You can flash stock 4.4.2 with Mobile Odin Pro and tick the box to root the ROM during the flash. After that you'll need to flash the Kitkat bootloader & modem using PC Odin. This should keep Knox at 0x0. AFAIK there isn't a way to root Lollipop and keep Knox 0x0 at the moment.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PIRATA!:
You explain a different way of rooting then the one explained in first page.

Why do you say to flash with Mobile Odin ticking the root box??

What are the benefits?

I ask this because I have an S5 Prime and we don't have alt bootloader or modems to flash. Just firmware, and I'm trying to understand if there's a way to keep KNOX 0x0.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] louiscar:
Thanks for the reply. I've not used Odin yet so a little confused by this process.

Do you mean that I should download UEND3 for this? I presume that the bootloader comes from the same file? So a 2 part process with the same file ?

Or should I be doing this with the latest Kit Kat rom for my region?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dwl99:
There's a handy guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2719434 - just download the latest 4.4.x ROM for your region/carrier from sammobile, extract the bootloader as described in the guide, flash & root the ROM with Mobile Odin Pro, flash the KK bootloader with PC Odin and you're done. This works only if your existing ROM is rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] louiscar:
I wanted to make sure that a Root obtained by the Towelroot workaround wouldn't be defeated. Thanks for the heads up - I'll follow that post.

EDIT:

Chainfire specifically says on the MOP page on Google play -- not to use recent 4.4 firmwares but he doesn't clarify 'recent'. There are reviews of people bricking their devices when flashing the modem so this is getting me a little bit nervous :)
