[Galaxy Note 3 General] anshulsingh:
Hi Thanks for this post.I was able to install lolipop on my 32 gb N9005 successfully. I was able to fix the wifi issue by changing the value of ro.securestorage in build.prop to false.

I found an issue though.The first time the device booted it took about 5 min.I guess this is normal.I rooted the phone using latest philz recovery and su v2.40. After the reboot i got the error "unfortunately system has stopped" while I was still on the samsung boot logo. I took out the battery and rebooted the phone then it booted normaly. after installing a few apps i restarted the phone and again I got the same message.

The problem is sometimes i get this error and some times I dont. What could be the possible reason.

Thanks

Newbie here

Sorry, just a newbie here, I just want to ask on where should I do this and what program/s to use?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
You need to install android sdk to much to post here so Google . you need developers options turned on and debugger selected after you turn it on, ( in about device screen, press your build number about 7 times ( just keep pressing) then developers menu will show in settings menu

your phone also needs root and you do these commands in a windows command window

Good news you do not need to install android sdk

Working flawlessly now on my handset made the mistake of not flashing bl and pit file first time round and faced a heap of issues this time flashed all files works perfect and then rooted as well
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stallione:
Downgrading failed

So I tried downgrading back to originak KK and faced a lot of troubles.

First tried to downgrade using the original Australian one for me. It failed by Odin.

Then tried with a .PIT file I found and the corresponding Germany firmware that PIT came from, didnt work either. Phone wasnt even switching on, gave some error saying firmware update went wrong, connect to Kies... or something similar.

Just to see I reinstalled the Lollipop, It worked just fine.

Then saw about the Polish KitKat leak with all the BL/CSC/AP and all files, downloaded and tried.

For my joy, It installed just fine, but my joy ended when I booted into the OS, it was all buggy, network not working, constant app crashing, camera fail, and made me really scared when It showed that my IMEI number is NULL!! I thought Im so done....

Then tried the German KitKat with the Polish leak's Boot Loader (BL) file, it failed too.

Since I was so worried about the phone getting address-less (No IMEI, no other addresses) I tried reinstalling the Lollipop leak.

It worked again like a charm, and my IMEI n everything else is back.

There were some more things to try which involves installing CWM and something something, which is to trip the Knox. And thankfully, I havent tripped it yet after all the halabaloo Ive done to the phone mentioned above.

So looks like Ill have to wait till we get an official Lollipop update, so I can get out of the leak. (predict it will take about a month or two even)

P.S. reasons of attempting to downgrade:

I do not feel that the battery is doing much good. With my typical use in KK, the phone stayed up for about 1 day and 4-8hours with 3.30 to 5 hours of display. But with this leak, It was like around 24 hours maybe with about 6 hours in flight mode (at night) and about 3.30 hours of display time.

The touch key lights has a definite bug. After some time of using the phone, the key lights just goes off, and doesnt lit up at all. But the keys function just fine (but I cant find where the keys are at, lol) I have to go to settings and put the key lights to "always off" and back to "always on". Then it works just fine but it goes off after some time again.

May be im paranoid about this one, but I feel like the gesture sensors seems either too sensitive, or calibrated wrong. I use the "quick glance" mode and it opens up about always even a piece of clothe was moved above it.

And I feel some millisecond-lags here and there, specially with the animations. It wasnt there at all in my stock KK, so I cant stand it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dr_mustafa_ali:
yes
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
By all of this i am not sure ur model or country firmware restriction. Gimme ur device model number and country. I will give u then links to good firmware.

here u have instruction what to do:

1) Boot in Recovery Mode (Power Off, Vol+ & Home + Power On)

- Wipe Date/Factory Reset

- Wipe Cache

2) Boot into Download Mode (aka ODIN MODE) (Power Off, Vol- & Home + Power On)

ODIN MODE

PRODUCTION NAME: SM-N9005

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

REACTIVIATION LOCK: OFF

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)

RP SWREV: S1 T1 R1 A2 P1

WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE

Note: REACTIVIATION LOCK: OFF - This must be off or you can not perform a restore.

3) Using Odin to flash your stock firmware - ODIN flash will fail

4) Using Kies 3 beta go to 'Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initalisation' (Follow the instructions on the screen, your will need your S/N of the phone) - You should now be back to factory firmware.

Ps. If odin make a problems u have to flash only kernel and bootloader by this metod first:

youtube

Then use odin and flash full firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jemis1983:
Wipe before and after reflafhing!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stallione:
Thank you.... Ill try doing this then.

Btw my model is International N9005 32GB

Its preinstalled KitKat was an XSA Australian one. I have that OS re-downloaded from SamMobile

(N9005XXUENE3_N9005XSAENE1_XSA) But the phone is not country locked or career branded, so I dont think that matters.

The device used in that video is a Galaxy S2. If I try installing a CWM like that for my Note 3, I think Ill trip Knox (S2 I9100 doesnt have a Knox lock, so its ok for it) And I dont want to trip it..... atleast yet.

Yes I did! Tried with USB debugging on, didnt work. Then tried factory resetting before install, didnt work either. I usually factory reset as a rule after I install a firmware (unless for OTA updates)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
No no, dont install cwm and anything like that. Install kernel from your stock firmware. By this video i just want to show u how to fix kernel. Just do the first part with install kernel on phone w/o battery and not on flashmode. Just start device and flash kernel on screen with your error. Then flash ur stock rom with odin normaly.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stallione:
Sorry, Im kinda misty here.... Where can I find the kernal from my stock firmware? Do I have to extract it from the downloaded .md5 or something? Then how?

Can you please explain the whole procedure?

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Ok when I remove the .MD5 extension and make the file a .tar, I can extract it using WinRAR, and I see a "Recovery.img" file. Is that it? If its so, what do I do next and how? :confused:

Hi,

I flashed this ROM on my Note 3 N900T. Everything is working fine except the WiFi. WiFi is not switching on. Can you please help me to fix the issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dvdemon:
[MENTION=5592159]maqikpl[/MENTION]

I flashed a kitkat stock rom, from this rom also camera fails... so can conclude it's a hardware problem?

I tried the *#34971539# camera secret code, the rear camera voltage says null...

In the original 4.3, i was getting overheating issues when plug in the sd card, the sd card slot is right next to the camera so maybe this caused some problem

You do not have adb installed

see: http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378

This adb shell command runs "su" so without superuser on the phone it wont run
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stallione:
I tried upto Kies and Kies didnt recognize my phone. When I gave the model number and the S/N to it, It said my phone doesnt support Initializing. So Im basically done here. I cant find a kernel, and I dont know how to install a bootloader.

And in many places, they say once Ive upgraded the bootloader to a new OS version, I can not downgrade back to an older version. That leads me again to wait untill I get the Official Lollipop.

P.S. that lollipop leak's battery deplete is too much! 1% per 10minutes when at idle. Whereas I got 1% or 1.5% per an hour at idle on KitKat.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] leeniv:
No issues

Hi, I have not faced any GPS issues, have used the GPS to travelf from one city to other city and it has pointed exactly where i was on the road.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Colide:
Browse to the folder where adb.exe is located and run the command.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Stallione:
Finally!!! Not entirely resolved though.

I downloaded a bootloader from here.

I got the XXUGNG1 bootloader since I have the official matching German KitKat OS with me.

And It got installed successfully.

Then I installed the German DBT GNG1 os. It failed as usual first time but I reinstalled it with a matching PIT file, aaaannd everything went just fine! I finally downgraded from the leaked Lollipop to KitKat.

But the problem is, maybe something to do with the PIT file, that I cant go back to my XSA Australian OS! I thought now its all safe and installed the XSA ENE3 via Odin, and bham!! It failed again!

So now I came back to and now stuck with the German OS, which is not bad at all, seems wifi, network, camera and everything works just fine, no corruptions. But I quite dont feel like im "back to normal".

I also tried installing the German OS and the Australian one with an OPEN_EUR pit file I extracted from the leaked Poland KitKat OS, but failed as usual.

So can someone help me with this? I think Ill be able to install the XSA if I get a PIT file from a ENE3 phone, which I couldnt find anywhere.

And Id like to bring my phone back to normal where I can freely install any OS from any country like it was before, without PIT files.

EDIT: And I couldnt get a PIT backup in the first place since my Note 3 is not rooted, Knox still at 0x0 and I wanted and still want to keep it that way.

wifi fix without editing build.prop or flashing stuff

Hi

I figured out that i probably had found a solution for fixing the wifi issues.

Just after flashing / wipe, do NOT ADD your google / samsung credentials after selecting your language. Simply do it on the settings page after ignoring all the passages.

Try and let me know.

Before i had issues and frequent rebooting after turing off/on wifi. now it works perfectly.

i hope it helps and sorry if has been reposted ( i do not had time to read all the whole thread.)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
I clearly indicated that my phone's GPS and Proximity sensor "started working better" compared to older ROM's, basically you did not take the time to understand. This is called feedback, and one feed backs so other people make decisions upon them. So, you can clearly conclude that i did not reply to any flashing problem, as i flashed this on DAY ONE. If i have or have not experience, that is not anyones problem or issue, guaranteed.

You are creating a problem that was never there, also wasting forum storage and talking useless off-topic and mostly confusing other people. And while i typed all of this, i recalled how many kids are in here. This is a place of intellectuality, not competition.

I only have a problem here in the country. Sometimes I get a lock, sometimes I don't.

This app just modifies gps.conf file.

TopNTP is much better but it doesn't help.

You are trying to use Windows Command Prompt by the looks of it. Although ADB (Android Debug Bridge) looks like Command Prompt it is not the same thing. Go here and install it : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979&page=41

Now make sure your SMN-9005 has "debug mode" activated (Settings>General>about device, scroll down to "Build number" and tap repeatedly on it until a toast message saying "you're a developer". Now go back and a new option "Developer options" has appeared above about device. go into this and make sure "USB debugging" is checked.

Now try again using ADB rather than Command Prompt. ;)
