huh I don't know how to convert it for sure

You will need root. Probably towelroot works with that version.

Then backup your EFS with FreeGee app (find it on playstore). Transfer folder "efs_backups" from storage to pc to be safe.

In freegee app you can unlock bootloader (mako unlock) and install custom recovery (cwm) to flash custom roms.

Or you can use flash tool to change firmware of your phone.

you can choose firmware and download kdz here:

backup everything you need to pc because you will lost your data after clean kdz flashing
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my59:
I'm running 4.2.2 on my 10.1 and it is rooted.

It was done long ago and I really do not need the device being rooted anymore.

Not sure how to unroot it so I can upgrade to 4.42.

It might have been posted but I couldn't find it.

Help appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2d23cpo:
Beware that some of us believe that upgrading to 4.4.2 via OTA or Kies or installing Stock 4.4.2 as they come is unsafe!!!

New stock 4.4.2 comes with new bootloaders!!

So for us the safest way to upgrade is use one of the many Rom develop in our forrum. Yes I understand many think the opposite,safest is to stick with Samsung Stock as it come from factory. It is up to you.

A few had claim that after you go back to 4.2.2 Official Stock, their programing counter had clear and they in fact go OTA or Kies to upgrade to 4.4.2. Personally I do not know. I do not use Kies.

But here is an example of such Claim:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 General > KitKat Update official for GT-P5210 available => http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/kitkat-update-official-gt-p5210-t2871073

Good luck with your upgrade, I hope nothing happens with those new bootloaders in the future. Who knows maybe you will not be able to clear your counter again! I do not know I am just kidding.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my59:
Thanks, that worked, now I am on 4.4.2.

Just a crazy question, what if I want to go back to 4.2.2, can it be done?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2d23cpo:
You have not said what type of TAB3 10 you have. 3G, wifi or 4G. Nor said what procedure you follow. Ota, Kies or one of the roms develop here.

I do not know if installing 4.4.2 with OTA or Kies can prevent you to go back.

In my case I use 4.4.2 Pimpdroid 3Beta. I found it smooth and nice. But I got upset with 4.4.2 limitations and went back to 4.2.2 with stock 4.2.2. Without any problems.

Questions and Answer

A: it will work on any ROM running on Kitkat?

B: hmmm, not sure. but may will little bit different. just try it! :)

A: Hot reboot is not working!

B: Hot reboot uses command "pkill", so you need to have symlink for that command to the busybox binary. so, you need to download Busybox installer and instal the binary files to make it work

ok, i'm forgot to explaine small changes

1. open your GlobalAction$6.smali and GlobalAction$6$1.smali (from my att files)

2. find this line (line 74)

Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->access$000(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;)Landroid/content/Context;

and this line (line 158)

Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->access$000(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;)Landroid/content/Context;

3. now you need to change

access$000

with your code from GlobalActions.smali (from your android.policy.jar). just find access$000 from your globalactions.smali, then your code must be like this

.method static synthetic access$000(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;)Landroid/content/Context;
.registers 2
.parameter "x0"

.prologue
.line 94
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context;

return-object v0
.end method

if not, just find this line

Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context;

and you'll get your access code

4. replace my code

access$000

to your code access

example: my code is access$000 , and your code is access$200. just replace 000 to be 200

5. do it same thing on GlobalActions$6$1.smali. just replace access$000 to your access code

Wow dude you really put me off the iPhone 6 Plus.. There was me thinking i'm going to pick it up and get rid of the Note 3 Seems like ill be getting the note 4 :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] onslaught86:
Genuinely debating it. Note 4 doesn't fix any of the issues I have with the Note 3, and while nice, is not a hugely compelling upgrade.

Note 4 does support category 6 LTE with carrier aggregation, as opposed to cat4 w/carrier aggregation in the 6 plus - that, the smaller screen, and the lack of stylus are about my only hangups at this point. If the battery life is as claimed I'll likely pull the trigger regardless.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AstroDigital:
Even if the iPhone 6 Plus had all the features of the Note 3 and it does not.

Have you seen the spec?? for battery life on the iPhone 6 Plus.... 10 hours big deal.

You know how expensive an iPhone Plus 128Gig be?

Bet you will be able to buy a Note 4 edge, 128Gig SD card and still have saved hundreds of dollars.

I like Android and can not see me going back to iOS I would lose too much.

Me I want to see the next Nexus device, sick of waiting for Samsung to upgrade to the latest Android release but iPhone 6 Plus never.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jdomadia:
+1, one thing I don't understand, why Samsung not able to give world ? wide update to all devices, which apple is able to do, many people screwed there phone because of running behind update, my samsung tab never received a single update in my country U.A.E, yes we knew flash threw Odin but there's many people spend their money & not able to enjoy there device with what they deserve.

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
Just a wild guess, but from the specs iphone has somewhere around 20 LTE bands, so it probably covers whole world, therefore hardware is probably the same everywhere, where Samsung has different radios (and other stuff like exynos/qualcom) for different regions, so it needs to have different firmware. Don't ask me why, possibly region lock would suggest marketing strategy, more than anything else. Also, in US at least, the carriers have to test the firmware and possibly pick up other costs of upgrade, so often it's up to them. I'd rather downgrade to Note2, than 6plus, even if the price was the same, which it isn't.

BTW, I heard of more than one iphone owner being pissed about Apple's forced updates, when they didn't want to update.

And just to give an example why, I have no intention of updating my phone, it works just fine and update would break too many things for me, like root etc.

I mean seriously, iphone just got barometer and 1080p screen and 1080p60 video recording, WOW.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
Simple.

Apple has at most a total of 4 device types to update. (For instance, 5S, 5C, 6, 6+.) That's 4/5 different firmware versions to develop.

For just the Note 3, Samsung has:

N900

N9000Q

N9005

N900W8

N900T

N900P

N900A

N900V

N900S

N900K

N900R4

N9002

N9006

Divided amongst those versions are also a different CSC version for every country and every provider. Because every provider uses a different network, and a different list of compatible foreign roaming networks.

For the N9005 alone, that is 145 different CSC's. N900 has 75 different CSC.

Even if we assume that the rest of the device version only have 1 CSC (They don't), that's already a total of 233.

233 different firmwares to develop!

And that's just one device. Now think that Samsung updates all their devices for 18 months. So add another 233 for: The S4, S4 mini, S5, S5 mini, Mega, S4 Active, Note 3 Neo, Express 2, and all other recent devices.

We're talking about just the ones mentioned above of, at any time, 2100 different firmware versions that need to be separately developed, tested and rolled out. None are identical. (As evident by the problem many had when updating from DBT to BTU a while back and had to reflash the pit file.)

2100. And that's provided nothing goes wrong.

I didn't even count all active devices, just the recent Android ones that are most common.

Now, all Branded firmwares have to go back and forth between the respective providers several times for testing and adapting as well. That's about 6 weeks for every Branded version. (Which is why that's always late).

And Samsung? They don't have a choice. Because every provider demands their own version. That's the problem with an open software and a fair business policy, the providers have the right to do that. Apple doesn't answer to anyone (Not even international law.) and nobody can shake a stick at Apple without a backlash from the US Government.

See the problem? Samsung can try all they want. The problem isn't the company, it's the Telecom providers.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
I mean to be honest Samsung could at least in theory cram all the modem hardware inside every phone so it works worldwide and on every network and also they could make up their minds about qualcom/exynos and use one across the brand.

Apple develops software in house, where Samsung get's it from Google and then have to adapt it to all it's models.

I don't pay much attention to iOS, but I think Android has more updates, more often.

As far as Apple being supported by US gov. I think you exaggerated, it's probably more about having enough money to bribe just anybody.

But why am I wasting time talking about Crapple in Note 3 forum.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Aluyi:
Bad ass:D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
No, they can't. For starters, in the US it is entirely normal that the providers have their own private device entirely. It's hard to imagine anyone getting away with that in the EU, but in the US, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile all have their own device. Not just their own firmware, but their very own device code, even. And not just phones. Tablets, too.

Have you noticed how it is near-impossible to acquire an Unbranded smartphone in the US?

Not to mention Black Import is a major problem. In comparison, in the US a phone costs $450. The same phone in the EU costs €799. ($1032). In India it's the equivalent of $200.

That's why it is illegal to export electronics from the US, that's why Lithium-Ion batteries are on the No-Fly list, and that's why the Region Lock exists.

Not to mention, a good example. The 2100 band in Canada is not the same as the one in Europe and the US. Which is why they called it the 1700 band, which also doesn't match to the ones in the rest of the world. Confusing, isn't it? So even if an EU device has the 2100 and 1700 bands listed as compatible, it won't work in Canada on those bands because it's not the same band at all, even though they're called the same. The US is like that, too.

Simply put, Telecom proivders have far, far too much power.

Apple provides a lot of hardware for the US government, and they're the richest company in the US.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this (probably are) but the US politicians get their funding from corporations and companies. Apple gave $308,000 USD to President Obama for his campaign. He was friends with Jobs.

Obama himself vetoed (overruled) Samsung's very first victory in the ITC, a ruling that would've resulted in an instant ban on all iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, iPad 3G and iPad 2 sales.

If you don't call that supported by the government, I don't know what is. Corruption is what it is. :rolleyes:

Because at least here we have intelligent conversations on the topic, as opposed to everywhere else where they just say 'But you don't need that for anything' to all arguments ;) It's refreshing to discuss Apple products with people who actually DO know about the importance and meaning of hardware specifications. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] marko68:
I have note 3 and note pro 12.2 but sincerely I'll buy the new iPhone 6 plus, and an iPad also. At the end of the day all the apps are out before for iPhone and lot of them are better than in android. Some also never come out for android. So I'm tired to see interesting apps for Apple and not for Android (see microsoft office for iPad and not out yet after ages for android)....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Can you give a example of what kind of apps are better on ios then android ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dodgebizkit:
I can only give 4 ... Everything else I find sooooo much better on Android...

But the four are - Garageband, Infinity Blade 1,2 and 3 ...

They are only better because they are must-have apps, and iOS exclusive...

Other than those, iOS has nothing on Android.., Though I'd like to be able to pull down the notification shade to send a reply to a message or hangout, that is a nice new feature.... Not enough to justify an iPhone price tag,

BTW getting an iPhone AND an ipad is a waste of money.. An iOS device and an Android device is a good combo, regardless of which is the phone and which is the Tablet - I'd go android phone and iPad mini.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] LEMORACE:
A coworker and I got into this discussion a couple of nights ago, shes going to buy the iphone 6 plus, and we both have note 3s. her stance is through their marketing (she needs the latest and greatest branded product). i honestly never really liked apple products due to how limited I feel as an end user. on the flip side there are some iOS exclusive apps that I wish could have been ported to android OS. other than that, the new iphone 6 plus is miles behind in the ARM's race. All the features (software, and hardware) are aplenty with my note 3, even if I DONT use them :victory:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cgulliver:
I can't speak for all, but suspect many android users to move to iPhone for the screen size alone. I personally have never owned an iPhone and am tempted to grab one just to see what life is like on the other side.

Don't get me wrong as I'm hooked on my N5 with CM11 but the engineering and build quality apple brings is a force to be reckoned with. Even if the raw specs line up with older android devices, apple does a great job of optimizing iOS for the hardware. The down side is the cost, 2yr agreement and moving to a new ecosystem.

With all that said I'll wait to see what the Nexus 6/X looks like before I decide.

What? Do you have access to the internet? Have you ever left your house and went to a store?

PLEASE, show me where I can buy a brand new Note 4 (when it comes out) for $450 out of contract. You are correct in saying "those" phones cost €799 (around $1k) in Europe. (source: I currently live in Italy).

Really? Illegal to export electronics from the US? Do you realize how stupid that statement you made sounds, and how untrue it is?

Please, tell us what hardware Apple "provides" to the US government.

Apple is the 18th "richest company" in the US. They're behind Samsung, who is the 7th.

Have you noticed how it says 'The Netherlands' under my avatar? I'm European, not American. In this case I go by what US citizens mention, and every US citizen I spoke to had to import the device to get it without a branding.

The EU banned SIMlock Branding in 2011. The US did not.

Did I specifiy The Note 4'? No. Assumptions are yours alone.

The EU has an internal open trade agreement. They're currently working on getting one with the US.

In the interest of protecting the local market, trade of certain products is as of yet semi-prohibited. (It's allowed, but it costs the company providing the export so much in fees that it's a company-killer.)

Or have you not noticed how it is conveniently impossible to order a smartphone in the US and have it shipped to the EU from any real store? Best Buy is the largest electronics-retail company in the world, and yet it only ships the the American continent.

If you try to get a smartphone new and in the box through customs at any US airport, or try to import it into the EU, you pay a VERY significant import fee.

The fact that you're not aware of that says nothing of my intelligence, and rather more of yours.

And if you weren't aware of the lithium-ion batteries being on the no-fly list, well. That's also your fault, not mine.

https://www.apple.com/r/store/government/

Samsung is South Korean. Apple is US-local(Cupertino in California to be exact), which makes the government that much more interested in protecting it's own market.

Perhaps you might want to follow a crash course in global economics and politics, for your knowledge on the subject is severely lacking.

If you are too mentally handicapped to recognize a compliment when it is given and instead respond to it with childish insults, perhaps you would do best to keep your mouth shut entirely. It would certainly improve the collective IQ of the userbase should you do so.

No you're not. Don't pretend to apologize over something you're not sorry for.
