[Galaxy Note 3 General] medicineman022:
I'm a noob to android. After transferring from my trusty iphone 4 to the new Note 3 N900A from ATT. I love it. this phone was sent to me in the from the US. I think I had it unlocked. I heard that ATT back then released OS 4.4.4 so I checked mine and saw it was 4.4.2. I tried to Update via wifi thru the phone using the check for updates but it said i was using the latest even though i was clearly not. Now that lollipop has been released i fear that even if an official one comes out for ATT my phone wont still get updated. How do I update? and why can't I find the update?

Im currently based here in asia (philippines), i had it unlocked locally so im not really sure how they did it. All I know is that it let me use the sim cards available here. is there a way to find out what was done? is there a way that I can redo or unlock it properly if it wasnt done right?. I lost gps capability eversince the unlock. I'd like to learn the how to's while im at it as well so pls feel free to teach me.

How can i fully unlock it and hopefully restore the gps capability. sobrang wala kasi. im thinking baka loose yung chip as i've checked thats a problem but it used to work kasi before ko pinaunlock.

Thanks. in advance

Galaxy note 3 N900A 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Markpuge:
1. all note 3 last update is only 4.4.2 unless ur att and att sim are working, not unlock etc.

2. update your baseband and bootloader. search here in the forum you can find all the tutorial you needed. just make sure you follow the step for your unit..

3.its not a chip malfunctions so dont worry.

i suggest you update your note 3 to lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] medicineman022:
thanks mark

Being all new to this. I'd like to start with a thank you for that speedy reply sir mark. I just want to know where to start. like the basics? may glossary ba where i can read the how to's i dont even have the slightest idea what the heck a bootloader is or what baseband stands for. any suggestions?

Eto po yung baseband and bootloader ko (N900AUCUCNC2) same for both when i checked based on the app i got from reading page 1 to 5 of this forum. altho other than this app wala talaga akong naintindihan. T_T
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Markpuge:
im sorry mate im not dev my self and i just follow some instructions here and ask filchi for some help and in youtube aswell.

i will suggest that you upgrade your 4.4 to 5.0 your note3 will be much faster, have better rom management and battery life as well and it will make the ui smoother and less laggy.

if you decided to go to 5.0 this will be the right guide for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2983873

if you want to stick to 4.4 i suggest you pm [MENTION=3002844]filchi756[/MENTION] he knows more than i am, he will gladly help you. just ask nicely and wait for his reply i think he's busy for a mean time.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] filchi756:
I made one for darklord 2.1 but the volume panel is the stock one(I don't like the new volume panel). And you will loose the darklord statusbar mods cause its all already included and the settings are fix in the IOS style statusbar of mine. And the notification panel is the one with the semidark circle background. If you wanna test it I can post it here.Just let me know. By the way the original systemUI.apk is not mine it was shared to me by a user and I just edited it and added the mods into it.

Upgrading to Lollipop

Hi, first time posting in here fellow filipino .. Can you give me advice what to flash (lollipop).. I read aryamod, darklord, official and the one by dr. ketan. Can you give me advice what would be the best one to try, or summary of pro/cons of each. Im currently reading posts here and there and its really confusing. My note 3 is N9005 towelrooted. This will be my first time flashing if ever :) Thanks for any help.

[MENTION=2780137]polaski[/MENTION]

it really depends on what u really prefer me im using a custom rom and kernel that is not included in your list.. it will be depending on you if you like ported roms or standard custom roms plus the dev and community support...

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

@p0laski

one tip is follow the thread of a custom rom and kernel that you like and from there you can decide
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Markpuge:
for real? haha
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Markpuge:
hi mate! and welcome!

most of us here are using Darklord from vn team rom you should try it.

this will be my top 3

1. darklord

2.aryamod

3.Norma note 4
[Galaxy Note 3 General] paulcarl:
I would like to try darklord but the instructions seems harder than aryamod (because aryamod has video). In the darklord, there are so many download link, and seems there are so many things to do to solve issues, i am right (although i might be saying this because Im still new and i havent experienced flasing yet) I even dont know yet what are CSC, kernel, TWRP but I will search for those. Hehe. Regardless, any tips for the darklord, aryamod or flashing in general?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] filchi756:
try this guide:

1. Download Darklord 2.0 here:
[URL="https://mega.co.nz/#!odxhFJxS!AkNmtDY5y85gMkQQYwljDreta0IzbxN4EjX4OpCSsCA"]https://mega.co.nz/#!odxhFJxS!AkNmtD...xN4EjX4OpCSsCA[/URL]

2. Download Darklord 2.1 OTA here: [URL="https://mega.co.nz/#!fBhjiYYZ!16UA1IjLqCbP0ExuaYoJoOkIWlOobkLdHfwq5HD-Dkc"]https://mega.co.nz/#!fBhjiYYZ!16UA1I...kLdHfwq5HD-Dkc[/URL]

3. Flash fixed TWRP [URL="https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26253"]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26253 with ODIN PC[/URL].

4. Boot into TWRP recovery and do full backup

5. Do all wipes (factory reset),(also system format and data format if there is option)

6. Flash Darklord v2.0 in TWRP

6. Without booting, flash Darklord 2.1 OTA in TWRP. This causes TWRP to crash but still seems to work.

7. Wipe dalvik/caches again (maybe not needed)

8. Boot system

9. Wait 5-15mins to boot.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

We have the same list bro.:good: Just a bit disappointed there is no update last week for Darklord to fix the bugs. I thought they promise there will be an update every week/weekends? Well anyway I'm such their just busy with real life. For now I'm switching between Arya and Norma while waiting for 2.2 maybe.:D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] paulcarl:
Should I go darklord or aryamod (what do you think would be better for a first time flash) :confused: :) so I can decide where to dedicate my time in what thread

Can you flash through TWRP without root?

Just so, will still research how to backup my ROM, backup EFS before doing this, are there any other things to backup maybe, still dont know the firmware stuff (sorry if out of topic). Thanks Thanks :)

Flash arya, more like stock and some mod and stable.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Markpuge:
i agree bro.. i have a high hopes on vn team and i dont want them to get left behind.

aryamod is much faster in fixing and updating the rom. well norma in the other hand..... i think the dev are not interested in updating his xda version of the rom..

I checked that thread. Im not really sure whether that is applicable to the ATT version. It seems it was only made for the international n9005. Bummer. Did I understand this correctly? :silly: :eek: :crying: :(

I'm encountering this, anyone knows? I'm from the phil also.

you should wait. or you could just flash the latest version.

Hi guys.. Im new here and want to ask about the firmware like one of our kababayan asked in the previous comment.

Please correct me if i have some errors here or in my question ^_^ Good Day!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
TWRP 2.8.5 works just install via odin. And if it does not take the twrp flash twrp via odin without auto reset then boot to recovery and flash twrp flashable via custom recovery. Though never had problems flashing twrp via oding works everytime.

Upgrade Advise

Magandang hapon po mga kababayan,

A Note 3 newbie wanting some advise from our esteemed mods and co-members.

• Father bought the Note 3 somewhere in the Middle East.

• The phone arrived with it inside the box, but it was opened because my father said he had to check on the unit itself. Was excited to pop the phone out so I can try Kitkat for the first time and possibly, Kitkat. (Coming from the Galaxy Ace).

• I discovered that my phone was already rooted when I clicked on Software Update and wasn't able to do so.

• I asked a Samsung accredited Service Center and they told me that the phone must have been rooted to allow the phone to be used in other regions. The former being true because I didn't have to have it unlocked, I popped a Globe Sim right away and was good to go.

• They told me it's gonna be 800-850 Pesos to have the phone upgraded to Kitkat Official Philippines.

I may be able to upgrade the phone myself, but I don't know where to start. Coming from the Galaxy Ace that I upgraded to JellyBean, it doesn't feel as complicated.

I just want to know if:

1. Do you think it is worth it to have the phone upgraded to Kitkat Philippines for P800?

or

2. Should I attempt to upgrade the phone myself, even if I don't have backup that the Saudi technician may have had?

3. Is it worth it to lose root access for Kitkat? As of the moment the only apps I have that require root access are Greenify and ES File Explorer, as I am already content on the Disable feature for a couple of the Stock Apps.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you so much for having this thread mga kababayan! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Markpuge:
1. Nope 800 php is too much!

2. Rooting is easy if you can search more info and watch tutorials on youtube. But make sure you read all the instructions and all the requirments, details, and the correct device like galaxy note 3 N9005 is the international version. N900A is at&t and so on... please before trying to root it yourself make sure you know all the details. Ok?

3. Mate the latest android version is 5.0 lollipop, 4.4.2 or kitkat for me its okay but 5.0 lollipop is way way much faster and way smoother.

My final advice is if you're not sure what are you doing just dont root it yourself. And find cheaper one to root your phone. And upgrade it to lollipop
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zhobotero69:
Hi brothers, ill just ask if which one is good for performance. arter kernel or civato's xplorer? i prefer smoothness rather than battery life. because im thinking to get off with kitkat. downloading aryamod for now. Thanks, will be waiting a good pick.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] earl520:
thank you ^_^ i guess by using the firmware of other countries than are compatible with 9005 will have no difference from one another?

lollipop OTA

Hi kababayans...

my note 3 has a Hong Kong firmware(if I am not mistaken)..just last week, I got the official lollipop update OTA..am using it now and i'm in love with it! Dunno if it was the apps I had before the update that drains my batt but after the update, I did a factory reset and pop! The batt was reborn! Lol..batt feels like brand new :D dunno if it the lollipop update decreased the batt drain or what not but it definitely got better after the update (and reset)
