yeah, gotta root and install a custom recovery to flash this. check out TWRP. I'm using 2.8.4.0. they have the same version number for 4.3 and 4.4, make sure to install the right one ;)

no need to flash baseband or modem.

did you make a backup before flashing 2.0? as long as you did, you're not totally lost (yet). try starting from scratch. odin stock 4.4 and work your way back to DomPop 1.7, then try to restore your backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] naguumo1:
That did it! I updated the bootloader and the modem to NK3 and it seems to be working now, thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alb.boy:
sticker in bootloop

Tried 2 times to do a clean install...but no way to pas the boot animation,now I restored back to .1.7 can anyone confirm that it will work if I do a dirty flash from now directly to .2 skipping the updates in between??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] badmonopoly:
It doesn't work for me. It boots, then after a few seconds it reboots the phone. This is the original problem I had when updating. It's screwed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rmarinella:
Go to advanced for each partition. Change to f2fs, then back to ext4. Was getting some weird errors before I did that. 0.2 clean flash seems to be an issue, at least for me. Dirty flash the updates one by one worked as I was advised.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] free2saute:
Went back to 0.1.8.6 I need my BT connection too my car lol will wait for fix on new release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] alb.boy:
I just did it man, phone updated well but when I go to settings general info I see still version 1.7 how is that possible I'm not anymore in .1.7 I got all .2 updates...even the led one wich I'm gonna delete cuz I don't like it to much for me :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ahaq:
what happen to 2.0, it seems to keep hanging on boot doesnt get past it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pinoiryder:
So i flash .2 over 1.7.. dirty flash it is.. just wipe cache.. and the led started blinking fast.. every time i use any system application it started blinking.. it that normal? And how would you know if you have .2 installed already? Still showing 1.7 on about phone

I'm glad it worked for you, and confirms what I first tried to tell kevp75. I have a feeling he blocked me for "failure to follow instructions" even though I did "follow them to a T"; it's just the one step of upgrading to 4.4 before flashing the ROM was missing. Now that there's two people that had the same issue occur when trying to flash directly from 4.3, which he said could be done, it might get changed. But, assuming he did block me, he'd likely not be seeing my posts, so if you don't mind, could you draw his attention to the issue as proven in the thread? Here's a suggested revision:

"coming from Kitkat or lower?

YOU MUST BE ON KITKAT OR HIGHER TO FLASH THIS ROM.

1. BACKUP YOUR APPS

2. MAKE A NANDROID AS WELL

3. BACKUP YOUR INTERNAL SD

4. If you're not running at least Kitkat or higher, upgrade now and reinstall your custom recovery.

5. Boot to recovery

6. Format Data

7. Format System

8. Format Cache

9. Install Rom

10. Reboot

11. Wait 5 minutes

12. Install relevant updates

13. Reboot

14. PROFIT!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] badmonopoly:
5.02 is broken. It crashes b/c of an app and reboots. Junk. Gotta lovy buggy Google :|

So that was my trouble the whole time. Without my apps it works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] supergaijin:
I miss Xposed. easy way to tame the play services:

10% battery remaining after 14 hours unplugged

- google play services = 21% used

- terra battle (game) = 17% used - cpu foreground time 2 hrs

- screen = 15% used (5 hrs on)

I'm searching the play store for a temp solution, like this or this. I'll report back which one I find works best, unless someone has a better solution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] docnok63:
I did a clean install of 0.2 and waited about 20 minutes for it to boot and it never did. I got all the way to 0.8.6 to boot...any suggestions?

EDIT...never mind...gonna try a dirty flash. I just figured with a new tenth of a version number I should clean install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
Yep, Confirmed .2 is a mess. Tried dirty flashing over .1.7, booted but wouldn't run once on home screen, would reboot every time it got set up. Borked gear stuff too even after restoring a nand. Brutal night
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chispas109:
It is a known issue that version 0.2 not 2.0[emoji2] will not boot past boot animation for most of us including [MENTION=4819587]kevp75[/MENTION] himself when clean flashing. You have to dirty flash it over one of the 0.1.8xxx updates.

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------

Give it a shot by installing 0.1.7 clean, set it up, when it boots to the homescreen, reboot and install the 0.1.8.2 update. Wipe your caches and reboot to home screen. Reboot and dirty flash 0.2 reboot when done. When done upgrading itself, reboot and flash 0.2.1 update. I know it is a little bit of a pain but at least you can try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
Well guys I think I found the WiFi fix. It worked on mine anyway.

I did a clean install with the stock kernel. I skipped connecting to WiFi on setup. Go through the setup like normal and get to the Home screen. Go to settings and WiFi. Before you turn on WiFi, enable Smart network switch then turn on WiFi. After I did this my connection went right through. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
I fell that pain bud

p.s. Don't bother with the other N9005 kernels. They don't work LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Nuh uh!!!! Seriously?! LMFAO

I been pullin my hair out (not that I had much left to begin with)... LOL

Gonna try now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
Oh Yeah :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 10507:
Damn, hope this will work....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] illgodson:
Awesome hope that WiFi fix works!! Sadly I can't test yet, still getting same issue from mega, tried it on browser and chrome..same result. Can't wait to give thus a run. Thanks again OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
You'll have to try a different browser, unless you install the Mega app. It looks like when you click the link you hit the page, but automatically tries to open the Mega app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
I did however find a bug. It won't let me save a screen shot. It says I have limited storage space for some reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
HAAA!!!

(can't tell yet cleared cache after restoring the original kernel)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] illgodson:
Yeah I tried both chrome and stock browser, and have the mega app installed. When I click it gives me the normal "looks like you already have mega app installed press OK" message, then shoots me to this screen. I'll play around with it see what happens. Worst case I'll grab one of the other links when they are up. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Strange... I posted those screenies in the OP last night
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fogame:
Oh tell me about it! I was all ready for it and bam....nothing.

Still looks amazing though. Might be a while until xposed is up and running on 5.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
I don't know what's going on with it. I'm doing a reboot again and see what it does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] techpreneur:
I know this may be too early to ask but does Xposed work with Lollipop?

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Guess I should have waited on my previous post haha. As much as I want Lollipop I can't live without Xposed either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ludeawakening:
Haha the answer to that is two posts above yours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Imma have to probably do a fresh flash to try your wifi fix :)

didnt work now that i already set everything up LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fogame:
If only it did. I know the Dev is waiting until art becomes a standard before updating it. Could be awhile. Once it is on Lollipop all will be good.

WiFi issues

The Play Store will not connect at all over WiFi. It immediately gives the retry button and doesn't even try to connect.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Yeah like I said I had to do it on a fresh flash, but I also learned that the Play Store won't work at all while connected to WiFi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Hmm.... wonder if it's a fake connect then...

I'll still try it anyways... wth might as well LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] conchchowder:
Why not directly load the ROM to your phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] enjoymoosic:
Dirty flashed 0.2.0. It said I was on 1.7, but I dirty flashed 0.2.1 and it all seems to be working now. (:

Only thing, I lost the ability to turn off the shutter sound in the camera app. It'd be nice if people didn't

know I was taking selfies. (; (jk)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Just wondering, for those that have been on lolliop for a while and miss xposed, have you found a substitute for the module "app settings." I really prefer some different dpi settings for apps like gmail to give more of a tablet experience.

Thanks, I've been on the odexed version for several days to get a sense of how lollipop works. I like art, notifications and such, but I'm not too crazy about the aesthetics or transistions. The odexed version seems to be pretty stable but I was hoping to switch to the one in this thread. I guess I'll wait a little while till things are straightened out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Prufta:
I flashed latest twrp 2.8.4 and flashed v.02 coming from 1.8, did a triple wipe and format data and the phone never boot up. It's something with the latest TWRP??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CarrasquilloC:
Don't think so I'm using the same version of TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rmarinella:
No, most can't boot .2 from a clean flash. Start with 0.1.7 and boot it. You can either set up or reboot to recovery. When you reboot to recovery, dirty flash 0.2 over 0.1.7. The flash 0.2.1 over that, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

A word to the wise: skipping 0.2 and flashing 0.2.1 leaves out everything that came in in between. Read the changelog.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Some have been able to clean flash, most have been able to dirty flash.

Nothing wrong with TWRP, what I would suggest is clean flash 0.1.7 -> dirty flash 0.2 -> dirty flash 0.2.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Aye. Thanks bud :)

I still don't understand why 0.2 won't clean flash. It's really only 0.1.7 with all the updates applied (except 0.2.1)

It's possible that it could be 1 of 2 issues tho... #1 being the ShadowLED (which to me doesn't really make any sense unless it really is screwing with the default LED functionality), or #2 the build.prop (which really the only changes are the version #'s and the build date)

I'll try to clean flash today without the ShadowLED today and see what happens. If this is the case, what I'll do is leave it out of the main rom flashes, and only keep it in the Updates...

[MENTION=4819587]kevp75[/MENTION] * * * * Feedback Update * * * * * * Well yesterday I was a little bored at home and I decided to start everything from a clean 1.7 so I did and flashed 1.7 and the updates 8.3,8.4,8.5,8.6 and 2.1 I didnt flashed 2.0 because that ome was the one who broke the BT so now I have BT working perfect the only thing I don't see is the gear manager and the Galaxy Essentials app but I can live without those for now ****on the GPS***** no go yet where I can find those settings? I can try to look it up on my wife's Note 3 and match it up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrwright83:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DAFTEK:
Is there a reason the weather widget is no longer transparent?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Yep

There's no "real" settings for them yet. There was an app in KitKat I remember from another Rom... could've been HyperDrive or Phoenix called FasterGPS Fix.

But I believe this is a CSC thing. Because "official" tmo hasn't dropped, we're stuck with the Korean Intl. variant.... and I have yet to see a CSC "feature" stick (for instance the Toolbox toggle)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Remove it, then re-add the widget. You'll have 2 "widgets" to choose from
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
LOL

Sounds are in /system/media/audio/ui

Grab a Root file browser from play store, and delete the camer_click.ogg, Shutter.ogg, and Shutter_multiple.ogg

It will not boot if you do a clean flash,i was stuck to in bootloop,but its easy go back to .1.7 by doing a clean flash,than dirty flash .2 after the phone boot up,go to restore and dirty flash the update 2.1

Please don't tare me apart here. I am coming from the newest vision x rom 4.4.2, and I downloaded the 2.0 release. I followed the instructions for coming from kit kat. Backed up, wiped data, cache, system, everything, the twrp said formatting using make ext4fs so I am formatted properly I think. I flashed this and it has been sitting 30mins with the 4 dots moving around. I read all the posts and tried again following the OP's instructions. Did I miss something?

Thank you very much for your time and dedication to what seems like a very nice rom, can't wait to get to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
I've never had an issue recording video, so I am not sure how to debug this....

hmmm.... no? ;)

0.3 is better ;)

Doing a final full clean flash right now, after I confirm it's to my taste, I'll upload to Mega for my testers :D

P.S. I replaced the keyboard with the stock one too... i was finding my fat-old-ass thumbs couldn't type very well on the lollipop one...

So it's back to the drawing board with that LOL

If you need some more help, I can test on behalf of the SM-N900W8 crowd
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
You DEFLATER!!! ;) :P HA!

You need to format data in that first "Wipe" screen in TWRP, then hit "Advanced Wipe" and check off Cache and System.

You may as well wait for 0.3 it's coming soon! And as soon as I finish my testing i'll get rid of the 0.2 off the mirrors
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phrotac:
No need to wipe caches because the updates wipe them for you. Also, I have noticed that any time I wipe Dalvik Cache after installing the rom, or an update, it borks my rom and my phone does not boot. I suspect it is because we are not using Dalvik anymore so the space is being used for something else. Just a theory though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Michigan Jason:
Just did what you said (as far as the precise procedure of wiping.) Hopefully she boots this time. I would wait for the 3.0, but I do not know how long it will be and would never ask, or rush/bother you. My phone is down and I need a rom on it so I can make/get calls, so I will install the 2.0 and update to the 3.0 when it comes out. Thank you again for your work and time you took to help me!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chispas109:
I guess it is easier typing 2.0 or 3.0 than 0.2 or 0.3 [emoji6] [emoji6] [emoji2] [emoji2]

Thank you for pointing that out, it is very important.

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

20 minutes into boot and it is doing the same thing. I formatted data like you said, from the main screen, (it made me type "yes") to complete the format. Then I advanced wiped by checking the boxes of cache and system like you said. Installed the rom and here I am 20mins later. If there is something else to try, and you don't mind, please let me know. If you don't have the time I completely understand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phrotac:
You will need to back up your internal sdcard to your pc and/or external sdcard and then format internal sdcard. That is the only step I see missing right off hand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Michigan Jason:
I backed it up. Isn't that included in the wipe when I select "data" from the wipe screen? It made me type the word "yes" warning that it would wipe everything.

Just downloaded the google camera app to see if it worked for video and now i have an interesting problem - google camera video doesn't work and i can't use my camera at all either one of them. So I uninstalled the google camera and was getting random reboots. Now the reboots have settled down but still no way to record video. My bootloader and baseband are NB7, my PDA is UGBNL8 and my CSC is AGBNL8. Could there be a problem there? My phone is a 900W8 (Canada) but when i use phone info (app) it says its a N900T and the country code says UK and IRE. Any thoughts here - thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
:P ;)

You came from KitKat? You'll need to format data, in TWRP it's the 'Format Data' button in the Wipe screen

Just doing a normal wipe just deletes as opposes to formats, and it also does nothing to /data/media (wherein your issues lie)

It's currently up on Mega.

I have not tested dirty flashing, however, I was finally able to get it to clean flash, and I mean clean too... (as if I were coming from KitKat, but this is probably not a necessary step for those of us who have already been DomPop :D)

And of course, I've already found 2 issues that will get fixed in the next update (but probably not until the weekend, about to get hammerred with work)

SideKey no longer works at all... so I'll probably remove it, and Floating Messages is giving me a hard time once again...

I've got some more screenshots I'll upload later on :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rail205:
I have a canadian note also and video does not work. If i change to 720p it will look like its recording but will not save. Just a spinning circle in the middle if the screen. Tried 3rd party apps same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sevenslugs:
So can .3 be clean flashed ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Update, Ignoring, and Following Instructions...

I'm not sure what the basebands are for anything non-US, I know we are up to NK3, so if you aren't on the latest and greatest for your country, that could be an issue.

When you first installed, did you wipe or format? I bet straight out wipe everything right?

Straight "wipe" in TWRP and in CMW does not delete /data/media, which is where most "problems" are coming from.

I have to make my instructions as generic as possible, and hope to gawd that people know where in their recovery the "Format" functions are... so unfortunately they cannot get more detailed than they already are. We have what, 3 working recoveries between TWRP, CMW and Philz? I only use TWRP (in fact, even on my S4 when I had that we had SafeStrap which is TWRP based)

For those of you who I have "ignore", yes, I still see your posts, and have made the "appropriate" change to the OP (just have had more pressing issues than something like that is all, no need to take it to heart ;))

Also, for those that truly get ignored... I warned ya in the OP that I would know if you followed the directions or not, and if you are ignored, it means you did not follow them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phrotac:
Data and internal sdcard are two different partitions. Formatting one does not format the other. In twrp, wipe internal sdcard in advanced wipe to format it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
I think it's a bind mount though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kpirnie:
Sure can
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Michigan Jason:
I have formatted data, I have also wiped the internal sd card. I am still stuck with the 4 dots.
