LOL, I know I'm getting old and senile. Been called all kind of mean names and all, but I do believe I know what phone I'm working on. And thanks for the help, maybe a rain check for now. It's not my phone and he's not here.

Have a happy new year, as for me, I'm old and tired and going to bed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Sorry about that, I'm no spring chicken either. I'm sure you know what phone you have, I only based my statement on the firmware name (NK4). If you want try in the future I would glad to try and help !!! You will find as I have that here on XDA there is always someone to lend a hand !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] btb601:
Yeah, I kind of figured that, plus the the model number is one letter different too. I would only try it if you are sure I won't lock up his phone using CF Auto root. I've been at this since the 27th, even throw money at chainfire, although I doubted that would do anything. I needed to donate anyway to show some support for his work.

My other question, can I put it back to the firmware he was on? It's was 4.4.4 (NH7). Then I could root his phone if I can't do it as you said in post #14.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
No guarantee it won't bootloop !!! I did on my note 3, you just have to take a step back and keep going. Let me give you an overview, but then you need to follow the individual steps in my first post for each part you need to do.

Ok, the first thing you are going to do is BACK UP ALL THE DATA ON THE DEVICE !!! I.E. music, pics, and videos. These are found on the internal sd card copy and paste them on the desktop of your PC.

Now download Odin to your desktop and extract it. (get the link in 1st post) Download a fresh copy of NH7 4.4.4 to your desktop (get the link in 1st post) and extract it. Now follow the instructions in the first post to flash a stock rom. Let it boot up, if it bootloops take off the back and pull the battery. Let it sit for two minutes, replace the battery and hold the power button, volume up button, and the menu button at the same time. It should boot into a stock recovery, if it DOES use the volume button to navigate to factory reset and push the power button. Let device reboot this will take a couple of minutes. Now go to settings/general/about device and see what version of KK you are running.

If it DOES NOT boot into a stock recovery, and goes back to your custom recovery or bootloops. No problem, pull the battery let it set for a couple of minutes reinstall battery then hold the power button, volume down button, and menu button at the same time and boot into download mode. Go to the first post and flash the rom again it will stick the second time.

Once you are back to bone stock 4.4.4 NH7 just follow the first post for rooting and recoveries. I know this is your friend's device and you don't want to mess it up. So before you try anything check here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ go to SM-G900P NK4 and try the CF-auto root for the s5. The s5 and note 3 are pretty much the same. You can try to flash the root through odin the worst that can happen is it will fail and not install. Then you are back to try and going back to 4.4.4 NH7.

Nk4 is the latest sprint note 3 update it came out right after nh7 .

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Thank you, shows ya where my head is !!! Been so busy with the learning curve on theming that update blew right by me !!!! Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] btb601:
Thanks for the info. I don't think a bootloop is that big of a deal from what you say. I never experienced one. I just don't want to brick the phone, if you know what I mean.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Hey btb601 just want to say I stand corrected !!! As bigbabo pointed out to me NK4 is the latest update for the note 3 came out 12/17 right after NH7. I kept getting it confused with NK4 on the s5. I was under the impression the next update for the note 3 was going to be android 5.0 ( lollipop ) . My mind is completely thrashed with the learning curve involved with theming apk's, and learning image design with GIMP !!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
I understand, you could wait a couple more days and see if chainfire updates his cf-autoroot he is usually very quick about that. It's just that the holidays fell right after the NK4 update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
Hopefully i get sneek peak of what you workin on and we let others get snickle fritz ?

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] btb601:
My Note 4 has the NK2 update waiting on me that came out about the same time. Holding out for the 5.0 stuff. So I guess chainfire is a busy man as the latest for the Note 4 is not showing on chainfire's website.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EdhyMonker:
I have a Note 3 with the NK4 latest update.

The instructions say to install CF-Auto-root directly to the phone, but the CF-Auto-Root file is not in .apk format, only tar.md5 from the website. It also says not to install unless you have an unlocked bootloader.

Am I missing something? Can the CF-Auto-Root be installed directly to the device, and do I have to find out if my bootloader is locked/unlocked? I'm trying to follow the instructions and I appreciate everything you've done to make it easy and straightforward but I can't figure it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
Im assuming you are on sprint nk4 as i am .download odin version 3.07 on your computer search google for cf autoroot sprint note 3 and download it place all the files on desktop for easy viewing .go to settings ,general,scroll down to about device tap on it than scroll down to build number keep tapping that number till you see small message right under your finger as you tapping its going to say developer option turned on than go back one page and you will see developer option tap on that than check the box that says usb debugging than go back one page tap on security and check the box unknown sources than power off your phone .hold volume down home and power button till you get message in green letters( forgot what the messaage is but it doesnt matter) press volume up to continue and you will see android guy and its gona say download mode .next open odin download folder find odin program inside the folder right click on it and open as administrator once open tap on phone tab and browse to the cf autoroot folder on your desktop click on it it will open another folder where cf autoroot file is click on that it will be added in phone tab of odin than plug your phone in and odin will recognise it ....thats if you have samsung drivers installed on your computer if not you have to do that first my bad i should have mentioned that but its not too late even at this stage .once you got that file in phone tab of odin and your phone plugged in and odin recognised it hit start and let it do its thing once done it will reboot on its own .you will get superuser apk in your app drawer tap on it and follow prompts what it tells you to do probably gona have to update binaries and thats it you got root.let me know if you need any more assistance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Sorry about that, it is a little confusing. Ok with cf-autoroot there are a few ways to install. First you can download directly to your device, and use an app called "mobile odin" to flash it. You can also use an app called "Fashify" here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en OR you can download cf-autoroot to your desktop and use odin to flash it on your device in download mode. OR you can use latest SuperSU zip and flash it in a custom recovery to root. I will change my instructions to reflect this. Enjoy !!!

I have changed my instructions, hopefully they are easier to follow. If you follow bigbabo's instructions you should have no problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
Modem wont stick with mobile odin and flashify can brick the device just follow the instructions to the t and you will be golden

To flash in custom recovery you have to be rooted he is not rooted ergo no custom recovery i already posted what he needs to do from a to z if he cant follow instructions thats user error i wrote it so that he cant get it confused

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
I don't know that much about "mobile odin", I have read the PRO version works well. I know that Flashify doesn't always play well with certain devices. As for flashing SuperSU in a custom recovery, with a bone stock device flash the custom recovery first. Then flash the SuperSU zip in recovery, it roots the device perfectly. I have done this many times, and checked with root checker. Not my idea just read it somewhere, and tried it. Works great and saves a step, sorry about the misinformation !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
And once again "you can not install custom recovery without being rooted" and for the guy asking for help doode just follow my instructions you asked for help i gave it to you without phisicly being next to your phone i cant help you more than that .

bigbabo, I run a Sprint Note 3 stock, rooted, NC5 4.4.2 with Philz CWM 6.12.9 I have to admit I am getting old no spring chicken here. So, I moved all personal data to external sd card and booted into custom recovery. Wiped everything system, data, and caches. Booted directly into download mode system status : custom used odin v 1.85 to flash N900PVPUCNC5_XAS.tar. Device booted to a white welcome first time use screen. Skipped everything got to home page pulled battery it's faster, booted into download mode system status : still custom. Pulled battery booted into stock recovery did a factory reset. Pulled battery booted into download mode, odin flashed N900PVPUCNC5_XAS.tar again. Device booted into white welcome screen for first time use, skipped everything again got to home page pulled battery it's still faster. Booted into download mode now system status : Samsung Offical.

Now with a bone stock NC5 Note 3 that is still booted into download mode used odin v 1.85 flashed Philz CWM 6.12.9 once done, device booted into stock rom pulled battery, and booted into custom recovery wiped cache flashed SuperSU v1.94 zip from external sd card. Booted into OS SuperSU icon present downloaded Root checker from play store, says congradulations your device has root access !!! No biggie I needed to freshen up the device been running some themed dailers I made through it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
Well than my note 3 wouldnt give root with just su i had to use cf but if it worked for you thats good to know im just saying from my experience

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
No problem, I wish I could find the post it was a while back. I didn't believe it either, the first time I rooted my note 3 was with cf-autoroot hltespr sm-n900p I still have it. Now I just use SuperSu, BUT !!! And I'm not sure, I don't think SuperSu installs busybox, root checker says it's rooted but does it check for busybox ? I remember installing an app and it came back that I did not have busybox installed, and to be honest I have know idea how busybox works. So maybe that's the catch ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EdhyMonker:
Thanks to bigbabo and jimzweb1, I've followed the updated instructions and was able to gain root from stock NK4. Thanks so much!

oki have a sprint note 3 4.4.4 but confused about if is NH7 or NK4 baseband ends in NK4 but build number ends in NH7 so what versio am i???? i want to downgrade to 4.4.2 i dont care abut root just want to downgrade so i can flash to pageplus??? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
My software is nk4 and baseband is nk4 kernel is nh7 stock and i can go back to 4.4.2 if i want

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] denpad2010:
sorry for dumb question where you check kernel version i dont see any NH7 on mine but under it says build number nd ends NH7

im also stock and wnat go to 4.4.2 but i dont want take a risk really ophone is not mine so want accurate information...thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
There is no problem going back to NC5 4.4.2 from NH7 4.4.4. Just remember there is a chance you can end up in a bootloop . I have gone back and forth from NC5 to NH7 and from NC5 to NK4 . I have bootlooped my device a dozen plus times. ( What that means is the devices stalls at boot it just sits there for more than 6 minutes, remember it takes 3-4 minutes to boot up a new rom on first boot up )

Here is a copy of post # 14 First, if your device came with 4.4.4 NH7 it should be possible to down grade to 4.4.2 NC5. However, is the phone new and under warranty ? If so odin flashing back to NC5 won't trip the knox e-fuse, that happens when you install a custom recovery. Here we go, first BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA TO AN EXT SD CARD OR PC !!! ( i.e. pics, music, videos etc.) From my post here is the link for odin https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo download to PC desktop. Then go to micmars and download a copy of NC5 here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 It is a zip file so just right click and extract it to your desktop, that will change to a .tar file in a folder. Next extract the odin zip to your PC desktop, and open the odin file as administrator. Now connect your device to your PC via a USB cable. A box will light up in the upper left hand corner COM: doesn't matter what color it is just shows a connection. Now click on the PDA box a new window will open up click on desktop then click on the NC5.tar file to open. Then the file show up next to the PDA box don't touch anything else just click start. Sit back go get a coffee it is going to take few minutes.

Now here is the fun part, if your phone boots up GREAT !!! If it doesn't, and bootloops no problem this common when going back to NC5 it happened to me. Just pull the battery, then reinsert battery, and boot into your stock recovery ( hold the power button, volume up button, and menu button at he same time) once there navigate to factory reset with the volume button and click on factory reset with power button. Finally the phone should boot into NC5, now go to settings/general/about phone and see what version you have.

If you are still on NH7 no problem, it didn't stick go through the process again. Others have had the same thing happen to them, and it took the second time, in the end it's worth it. I WOULD ODIN FLASH NC5 ROM AT LEAST TWICE !!! That way nothing gets missed, then boot into download mode one more time. Make sure your reading Samsung Status : Official then you are running bone stock NC5.

I had all kinds of problems on NH7 and so have many others, I went back to NC5 and have had no problems, I'm going to stay here and wait till android 5.0 (lollipop) comes out. Enjoy !!!

Remember you can always go to the first post here for more info !!!!

What's the rule for flashing roms regarding the baseband

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

Is it absolutely certain that once you take a ota update, that you can't go back to like NC5 if you take a Later update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
No if take an OTA to NK4, you can always go back to NC5 at any time. You can also go back to a NC5 build and run a NH7 or NK4 baseband. The reason for this is some devices get a stronger signal on different basebands. I personally have done this running NC5 with a NH7 baseband, however I did not notice any change in signal strength. I'm back on NC5 stock rooted, running the Blue Blaze theme for the Priest Punch rom which is based on NC5 4.4.2 which I modified to run on a stock odexed rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] denpad2010:
the link for the NC5 is bad is that an oficial rom if so i can find it somewhere else,but if you can provide a good link that would be very appreciate it thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Here you go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 should be working now . For some reason it just stops working, then you reset it and all is well. Should be working on the post above to.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Yes your ok !!! Pull the battery and reinstall then go back into download mode and odin flash NC5 again and it will boot ok the second time.

I just finally decided I'm tired of bull****in and rooted my note 3 successfully yesterday, I tried to root with twrp, didn't work, flashed with cwm, worked perfect, su showed up and I felt goood . now I wanna try to flash a ROM,, so flashing a ROM is like downloading the super su file, download on computer, copy paste into SD card, boot into recovery and I guess wipe the cache and system this time? Then boot into the ROM file?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] craigviar:
Trying to root a friend's note 3. It's on 4.4.4 nh7. Do not want to wipe the phone / restore any version. Just want to root it as it is.

Ummm. So I just tried to use Odin to flash both twrp and the cwm recoveries (no not at the same time). Odin gives the PASS declaration and reboots the phone. Then I go to recovery and it's still stock. What am I doing wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
Phone has self recovery files on it ....power off phone wait 10 sec enter download mode open 3.07 version of odin load twrp in ap slot or pda wichever one is in odin than plug your phone in but before you do all that make sure in settings to enable developer options by tapping build number 7 times than go to developer options and enable usb debugging than proceed with the above and hit start in odin ....and one more thing is the phone rooted already using oneclick from cf?

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] craigviar:
Hmm. Didn't know dev options/debugging were needed when all the work is done in download mode.

It has never been rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
Ok i would download cf oneclick root you gona have to right click on odin inside the cf folder and run it as admin and put your phone to download mode from powered off state and once again make sure usb debugging is on before you power it off,than run cf autoroot than install twrp i would start with 2.8.1.0 twrp first than download latest twrp in zip and flash it trough recovery

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] craigviar:
Ummm OK so dev/debug were already turned on from some previous work I did trying to enable tethering a while back. Forgot about that.

Now you are telling me to use cfautoroot and the cfautoroot page says if I have a locked bootloader it will brick the phone.

Like I said I don't want to have to wipe the phone nor reflash the system via Odin.

Also, you said use Odin 3.07.where do I get that. The Mega link in the OP is Odin 3 v1.85

Sorry if I'm being a pain. I am not new to rooting but I am new to sprint's note 3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbabo:
Dont worry buddy you wont brick anything google for odin 3.07

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] craigviar:

I can vouch that qbkings method still works. I odin'd back to stock nk4 and took the ota to lollipop. Then relatively rooted using qbkings method. I am rooted and have twrp on my device.

Any way to root after lollipop update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AzzidReign:
I'm on NC5. If I'm understanding correctly, I can't flash a rom that is Nk4? From the little I've gathered in other threads, this is the process I think I need to take:

Do a factory reset (through phone options in backups and recovery ?)

Odin - flash Nk4 rom

Odin - flash custom recovery

Custom recovery - wipe and flash custom rom based on Nk4

Am I going about this correctly?
