Hello people. I have installed the leaked android 5 without tripping my knox. I am trying to either go back (I have installed bootloader file too) which I can't and secondly I am trying to find a root for it. Does anyone know anything to root it or how to go back to 4.4.2?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jemis1983:
Flash your stock kitkat firmware with odin because root lollipop it's already without flag knox!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] salespalace:
nope, that was unchecked, would you advise me to enable that?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
U have that on the video guide. Op added it on the first page.

thats option in odin ;)

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

It is easy. Just download kitkat from sammobile and flash it. There is a simply instruction on sammobile too. U should not have any problems with this :)

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

Btw at sammobile u can download official 5.0 for few countries. Tread should be closed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] salespalace:
i get the same problem, 5 mins in and reboot. could it be a hardware issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] aqi1992:
I have already tried that. I always get stuck in a boot loop. I did do a little research and seems like there is no way of going back as I have flashed the new bootloader. I don't mind the knox counter getting tripped. Also this rim is the official leak so I haven't been able to find any root for it yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] yurmuki:
Good news! Our n9005 has got official update on various countires. Check Sammobile.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RickyGC:
Has anyone upgraded from the leaked to the official version? What is the correct procedure? Can we get that also in the first post please?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
Download this. Just put into AP and flash start. Remember to delete kies from background proces, disable antyvir, use odin 3.09+ as admin and original cable. For sure it will fix all ur problems. Btw U NOT trip knox!

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Look above. Just put this file (extracted from zip first ofc) as AP in odin and press start. Remember to wipe data and cache in recovery mode before flashing to this firmware.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE RE-PARTITION! ONLY f. reset time and auto reboot check!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bagcibasi:
No odin mode after flashing!?

I have got a strange problem, perhaps it may have been mentioned here, but I really have no time reading all the posts.

From 4.4.2 I upgraded my SM-N9005 to lollipop by odin 3.09, followed each procedure shown on the thread (repartitioned using the given .pit file, all the other .md5 correctly checked and chosen then flashed) And I successfully rebooted phone with no issues. Yet, the problem is, there is no odin mode on my phone anymore, I press vol.down, home button and power button, but the phone just reboots. Can you please help me how I can solve this problem? I need to install recovery then root my phone, but without odin mode, I can't do anything.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] aqi1992:
Ok. I will try this method tonight but I am pretty sure it won't work because the bootloader has been updated and unfortunately there is no going back!

Put off battery, connect cable to pc and then use vol down+ home+ power.

I have downloaded official firmware from sammobile of Poland, the zip file only contains 2 files

1. .md5 file

2. SS_DIL.dll

how should i flash ? I think there should be 4 files.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] razvanultra:
Just flash in ODIN 3.09 the .md5 file at the AP, phone must be in download mode: Volume UP + Home + Power.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thahim:
Just the md5 file?

I also want to root so I should root after flashing this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] razvanultra:
Flash Lollipop Official Galaxy Note 3

Yes, only md5. Don't know about root, have knox 0x0 :(

And remeber to factory reset after install from stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thahim:
Poland firmware will be in english?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] razvanultra:
Yes, you can set english at first install.

Hello everybody, I want to flash the stock 5.0 android L(porland) to my note 3 n9005. I have somes questions:

1. Flash rom stock by Odin 3.10 will make the knox void change 0x0 to 0x1?

2. If it would changed, how can I flash it without change knox void?

There is only one file called

Where should i keep it in odin? PDA BOOTLOADER PHONE or CSC?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
All of this apps i use on all of my phones but not on note 3. Pure stock here so i am not 100% sure. I know all of them have problems with ART. I heared only lucky patcher original version works in ~80% with lollipop.

About this file. Use odin 3.09+. There should not be pda, bootloader... Should be AP, BL...

Put into AP ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thahim:
I have flashed the official firmware, now can you link me to something where i can know how to root this?

Sure.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

You sure it will work for XXUGBAO1?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rsroms:
It is very straight forward. Just pay attention to the instructions closely.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
This is instruction. Just download the latest odin, cf-autoroot etc.

Btw there is no changes between leaked and official firmware. Just fixes ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thahim:
I'm trying to download openrecovery, it stucks on 100%, and i don't want to take backup, as it will take long, i think it doesn't always wipes data yeah?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
if u use chrome u have to off malware protection in settings imo. Or mb antyvir block something. Or just try to find it on other source from google. There is tons of this.

Backup data is for ur security. If u have something like documents from ur company or naked photos of ur ex girlfriend, better make files backup. If u have only apps and selfie photos then leave this ;)

Remember u will lose warranty ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thahim:
thanks alot, i have rooted my device with your help.

the system status is saying custom, also SU is working, but all the rooted apps are not working. SB GAME HACKER, FREEDOM, WiFi Kill they are not working. they are saying you need a rooted device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
Restart device. Go into su app and update binary. Look at SU settings for security and there should be "chose auto response" or something like that. Set it "allow". Restart device again. Should help. Let us know.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] eslamgenio:
Try reinstalling these apps after rooting the device.

OTA update?

Its been 2 months already i have been wid this leaked official firmware but now the inet is saying the OTA has released the official android 5.0.. how do i get that now? Will it be an automatic update now?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rsroms:
How did you root? You can't update binary from playstore. Just download the latest superSu zip and flash it. Check the root afterwards with root checker app.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rsroms:
There wont be automatic update. You have to flash the official firmware via Odin.

PIT file backup & Rooting after Lillipop

Hi My Note 3 SM-N9005 is rooted & running customized X-Note ROM v21.

Q1. Should PIT file backup be done under phone apps Terminal Emulator? If fail, any alternative?

Q2. What is PIT file & how to use it once Android 5.0 upgrade fail?

Q3. Following your guide to upgrade to Android 5.0, is the phone still rooted or need to flash SuperSU to regain root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Rsroms:
Check for permissions in SuperSU for those specific apps and make sure they have been granted a access to root. But more likely, those apps might not be compatible with lollipop yet. Just give it some time until the developers of those apps make them compatible with LP.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thahim:

Hello :) are you talking about the Poland android 5 update? If yes, well you better stick with this official leak rom for a while.

Although a leak, BNL8 is pretty much multi-CSC which means your region in Malaysia is included. The Poland android 5.0 has CSC for their region which might cause hot phones due to network issues.

I read this from various threads but if you really want to, then you can try :D

Swapping from Carrier Branded to 5.0

I have a 32GB 9005 on 3 in the UK, running firmware with the CSC of H3G.

The phone is totally stock, never rooted etc.

If i flash all the files (BL / PIT / CSC / AP) and select repartition, then wipe the Dalvik Cache / Cache / Factory Reset will I revert to a BTU CSC Under 5.0?

I was thinking of debranding anyway, but came across guides which suggested I just needed to flash vanilla firmware and factory reset which seems OK. Then there were a few saying I needed a new PIT file for the new firmware before flashing

Any advice would be appreciated
