[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
Hi all,

I have the SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3 (Snapdragon) running android 4.4.2. I had a bit of a **** up the other day and finally managed to get my phone booting again. My issue now is that I can't seem to root my phone at all.

A copy of SuperSU was installed (by a failed CF-Auto-Root while trying to fix my device), but wouldn't run when I tried it. I've now tried to root the device by:

CF-Auto-Root - Runs smoothly but still no root

Towelroot - Device not supported message

CWM -> Install via zip - Says it worked but root unsuccessful

Kingo - Failed to root

I've tried multiple things now but no matter what I do, the final result will be a device that isn't rooted even if whatever rooting method says it was successful. I also can't run apps that won't run on rooted devices because they think my device is rooted (not sure if this is knox? mine has been tripped).

Anyone have any idea?

Try root genius it works
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
Downloaded root genius, ran it, everything went perfect and it said "Gratz".

Still no root according to root checker and Xposed. I have Kinguser installed now too which says root access is "ON".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Anyone giving you advice on how to root without knowing your build version of the software you are currently using shouldn't be trying to "help". Since you have not had any success and having leftover apps / files that you can't delete without root means you should reinstall the stock operating system via Odin and restart the process. You absolutely need to be aware of the build version - just saying I have 4.3 or 4.4.2 installed is not enough information and the methods can vary depending on that and even, sometimes, via carrier or region.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
Oh man that's how I broke it the first time. I didn't realise I needed version numbers etc, I simply followed te "how to unroot galaxy note 3" guide on galaxynote3root. The guide looked simple enough and linked me to the SM-N9005 firmware so I just followed the instructions. The flash failed in ODIN, phone wouldn't boot, and I was stuck in this mess of trying to learn about all these different ways of flashing with no idea what my version numbers were as I couldn't boot the phone.

After trying to flash all kinds of versions on to it (didn't really have much choice) I luckily stumbled across an old cwm backup, so I got cwm and restored that backup. Turns out it was a backup I did for my ex's phone (also Galaxy Note 3 but from Bulgaria, no idea which model, mine is from UK). I reset factory settings and that's where I am now.

If I post my version numbers here could you show me where to find the right files for Odin? I really had such a hard time trying to figure out what the hell was what with the million different firmware versions...

Model Number: SM-N9005

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband Version: N9005ZHUENE2

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1955971

Build Number: KOT49H.N9005XXUGNG1

SE for Android Status: Enforcing

Security Software Version: MDF v1.0 Release 3

Edit: Been looking at firmware on sammobile and there's multiple versions of stock for N9005XXUGNG1 in all different languages, the difference is the CSC code however there isn't one for mine (mine seems to be from hong kong or something), does the CSC matter or can I download the United Kingdom N9005XXUGNG1 and flash that regardless of matchng CSC? Or can I fix my CSC? :/

Could someone move this thread to http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/help please I think it would be a better place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Yea, it does get a little tricky since there are so many different versions of the software for Samsungs like these that are world phones. So your Build Number suggests that it's the version for the UK firmware, yet the baseband is from the Hong Kong region. You mentioned that the Odin install failed so I wouldn't think that the baseband had been changed, suggesting that originally it was an HK phone. With most of the unlocked non-carrier specific Note 3s, you should be able to install the official firmwares from whichever region, though there might be differences in service from the modem/baseband version or apps and languages specific to that region, but these problems should be easily solveable. I think I would try this one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/38070/N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNJ3_BTU.zip/ This is the unbranded version for the UK region.

Another thing I was thinking...you obviously have a custom recovery if you restored your gf's backup and tried to install SU that way...why not just pick a custom rom which is already rooted and could contain other fun / useful mods?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
Thanks so much. Do I have to download one of the CSC files from the bottom link to use at the same time in Odin? I want to reset everything back to stock first as it feels pretty screwed atm but afterwards is there any custom rom you recommend for note 3?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
No, the full firmware flash has the CSC built in, I just provided the other link for further info. As far as roms, I can't really say. I mod phones for people as part hobby / extra money and don't see the international version often enough to know the roms that well as I tend to just get the carrier specific ones to work on. Now that Lollipop is out for it, looks like there are a lot more choices which we don't have here in the US yet. Just think about what you want to focus on (battery life, mods, stability, etc) and read through the reviews to see if people are experiencing good things. I personally don't care for Touchwiz and the Samsung devices I've owned, I just jump straight to something CM based, but it's not for everyone and you might lose some functionality in some respects (some S-Pen features) and gain it in other places (ability to mod almost everything, slimmer, no bloat, etc) For my customers though, I almost always recommend something stock based as there tends to be less of a learning curve and thus less issues I have to help people navigate through. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
Crap, just tried to load that one...same problem I had the first time round. It gets to "system.img.ext4" then fails. My phone will stay on the downloading screen now until I reboot it then I probably can't boot :(

Phone shows:

UDC START

ODIN: Invalid ext4 image

Odin shows:

<ID:0/004> boot.img

<ID:0/004> recovery.img

<ID:0/004> system.img.ext4

<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Ext4)

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Edit: Yeah I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". Won't work in Kies though it'll say unsupported version.

Edit 2: Tried again with a different cable (official samsung also) and different usb port, same result. Also ran files from desktop instead of usb this time but didn't help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
That' s really odd... Maybe try the HK version then, matching the baseband version you have. Sucks that all the links are so darn slow. You might want to spring for the premium Sammobile account to expedite the process. They have a week membership for 5 pounds and should provide a significant increase in download speeds if you need to get your phone back up in a hurry.

You might try the Emergency mode in Kies to described here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00059169/81100 to see if that helps anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
I already got the week membership 2 days ago when I was trying this the first time :P Downloads were going to take 6 hours each and I'd already signed up to like 5 other sites (free) which all turned out useless anyway lol. Will try the HK one now (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/29373/N9005ZHUENE3_N9005ZZHENE3_TGY.zip/) Hope it's right :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Won't make it any worse. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
Well damn it actually worked! Something is wrong through because apps are crashing and constantly spamming error boxes making it unusable...would it be some compatability thing with it being the kong kong firmware and me in uk? Don't know if it matters whether it's the hong kong one.

"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped."

endless spam.

Edit: Ok I reset factory settings and now it works but it's in chinese. If I simply change the language to english is that it? It's the same as having everything back at stock and will work fine in uk? Or can I change to a proper uk stock?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
That should be it. You have the same baseband with this version as you had so you should not notice any difference in service or the like. I WAS going to suggest the HK version first but you said you got it in the UK so thought it should work that way. Sorry!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidalol:
Thanks so much man, this was driving me mad for a few days. One final thing if you don't mind, it's offering me a samsung update to the firmware, it says it's for VoLTE support and after updating the firmware I will be unable to downgrade due to the security policy. Is it fine to update or will it interfere with things in future like using a custom rom?

Thanks again really.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
My pleasure. I know how frustrating these things can be and I have a crazy amount of experience with this kind of stuff. You shouldn't have an issue with the update or doing custom things afterwards as the bootloader on that model is not locked, so you would still be able to install a custom recovery and custom rom, if you would like. If it's the 5.0 update, then you might have trouble using KK roms and you definitely can't go back to official 4.4.4 at that point, but it's probably just a minor update for the modem and not the full 5.0 update yet.

Hi guy, I use the international LG G2 D802 version and I rooted this phone with towelroot. Today I got a notification of a software update and I downloaded it. The description shows as Enhancements in apps and Google patch.

My question here is that is it safe to proceed with the update? I'm really worried because my phone is out of warranty and I've rooted it. I've heard about LG adding their infamous root checkers in their builds hence I was wondering.

Thanks for the help and cheers!

XT1225 Locked

Hello. I just purchased n allegedly unlocked moto maxx xt1225 from ebay that was from Puerto Rico. The system version and software matches the OPs versions from Claro, however mine is SIM locked. Has anyone else encountered a sim locked maxx? I have reached out to the seller in Puerto Rico but am waiting to hear back...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] danger2u:
yes

i got 2 MAXX from Puerto Rico and the seller send s me a code to put ONE TIME to unlock the phone .
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dreyln:
I bought my Moto Maxx from a seller on Swappa from PR (presumably obtained from Claro) who advertised the phone as being "unlocked" and it was SIM unlocked. I hope you can get a hold of your seller. I would think they would need the IMEI from your phone and maybe some info from their Claro account to get it unlocked for you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
If you go back to the thread, I've mirrored all the files to another download service -- MediaFire.

The OneDrive does work, but seems flaky. Seems to work reliably only with Firefox browser.

However, the duplicate uploads now with MediaFire links should let you get the files.

______________________

Mine was already unlocked by the seller for my Puerto Rico Moto Maxx. I thought it just came that way, but learned later the seller had unlocked it (big ebay seller), which is good.

I then unlocked the bootloader, rooted, installed TWRP, and replaced the annoying unlocked bootloader image with another.

problem

when im trying to copy the files to the backup folder it gives me an error with one of the files "system.ext4.win" the file is 1gb the error says file size its bigger than device limit
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
You have 64GB internal storage. How can it be bigger than the device limit?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] elgringoloco77:
Maybe the system file that is on fat32 that only allows files no bigger than 4gb?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
The entire file size is is less than 1GB for any of the images.

Even unzipped it's only about 1GB.

Others have used them just fine, and thanked me for them.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I would suggest something like this (even though it's stock Lolllipop, not soak test), but you need bootloader unlocked...

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adortizar:
i dont install

Thanks but I try this method but does not answer because I need to have unlocked bootloader for the downgrade I upgrade to 5.0.2 with brasil soak test rom and want to install update via sideload get stuck there ,you could get the OTA of Mexico lollipop ??
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Not until it's released officially. At that point someone else will probably upload it first. I'm using my Puerto Rico Maxx as my daily phone, keeping my Mexico phone pristine in the box. So, someone using Mexico Maxx for daily use will get the OTA before me...

However, someone has successfully flashed the Moto Turbo Lollipop files. See the thread. They even posted a screenshot.

The Turbo baseband/modem/radio has more HSPA and LTE bands "OFFICIALLY" listed by Motorola than the Maxx. That doesn't mean it's really different. The LTE band 5 we knew was there on the Maxx, even though Motorola wouldn't admit it. :rolleyes:

But there's also more UMTS/HSPA bands listed. I found one of those on my MAXX, but not the other. So, could be something new... More HSPA bands enabled?

Sorry keyboard autocorrect... Non-stock Roms require zv8 radio.

All lollipop versions are non-stock. So you would need the zv8 modem.

If you are on zvc, and you want to go to say resurrection remix or Aicp.

Zvc stock, use ioroot25 to get root.

Download auto-rec.

Install and run

Download TWRP manager from play store.

Update TWRP to 2.8.4.1

Reboot to TWRP.

Backup everything.

Reboot system

Download zv8 radio

Download ROM of choice

Download gapps

Read the first 5 posts.

Follow directions

Wipe data, system, cache, davlik/cache

Install ROM, zv8 radio, gapps

Reboot

Now that is a trick I haven't looked into. Knock code was involved in the kernel/lock screen. May have to Google and see if a third party lock screen app can do it or a mod.
