I found a solution to my issue, incase anyone is having the same problem i will share the solution

When you flash with the PIT file and odin still fails like this "FAIL! (Ext4)"

unplug the phone, dont turn it off. leave it in download mode like that and dont close odin, plug back the phone and odin will detect again.

Now ucheck AP/PDA and load the PIT file again, Make sure the re-partition box is checked

press START and you will be suprised!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DeuXGod:
You only need pit if you get size error on odin. Simple as that.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cadguycad:
sorry im not going to be much help....

Hard to tell about the battery life because i've just bought a new battery and charger stand.

i have messed with xposed much so not really missing it.

For battery life heres mine been watching movies and connected my phone to the conputer to copy some. Thats why there is an increase on the graph.

Hey Assad. Thanks for the method. I updated to Lolli fr Echoe rom V18 and followed yur sequence to root my N9005; smooth no drama. I confirmed having root using Root Checker. Managed to get a few root apps such as Root Browser. Proceeded to install Ti Backup V6+ and grant root. When open up the apps I am getting following error message: "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This apps will not work.Pls verify yur ROM is rooted, and try again. This attempt was made using /system/xbin/su command".

I unroot and repeat rooting using TwRP for 2nd time with same outcome. As of now can't restore my apps and data. Any thought? Should I reflash ROM? Lolli seems to be working good so far; for past 6 hrs.

Edit: This is following successful root on TwRP by flashing SuperSU 2.45 as per posting # 93.

Dear DeuXGod: I am on Official Lolli and attepted root with TWRP/SuperSU with limited success. While on KK via Echoe ROM, I rooted using CFAR and installed TiB with no problem. To follow yur method here, do I use same CFAR file (this time zip pkg) which I rooted my phone under KK ROM using ODIN? or is it different ver of CFAR file to be flashed using TWRP?

Thanks.

Using the method outlined above (4.4.2 to 5.0) has changed my system status to "custom". Can I change it back to "official"?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
You can try to flash the rom again using pc odin. And update the bootloader
[Galaxy Note 3 General] patek:
I do not have heads-up notifications with this ROM, instead of them I have the old ticker-style notifications.

At setting of interruptions, I can not set the down time, there simple not such option.

Also in the volume adjustment panel there is no priority setting possibity.

Is these normal?

Or I made a mistake somewhere?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DeuXGod:
That's normal. It will be fixed in future updates according to Samsung.

Is doing this gonna void my warranty? Or when the real update will be out by my network provider will I be eligible for the update? Sorry i know it is dumb. I never flashed before. Im in canada. Thank you

Sent from my SM-N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bobbyphoenix:
No this will not void your warranty if you follow the ODIN way. This is the official ROM, so if you only install it, and don't root, or do any custom modifications, you will get all OTA updates if any are released.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SkanMac:
Hi bro, this is OFFICIAL ROM from samsung, then your warranty will not be void. Don't worry about that.

And YES you will be eligible for the next update that gonna be rolled out by your network provider.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Forbgodzila:
And will I lose all my personal data even if it is not a root?

Sent from my SM-N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SkanMac:
When installing a new Rom (specially if you come from android 4.xxxx), it's better to do a factory reset (wipe data etc...). Then yes, if you want to install this rom correctly, you will loose all your datas (make a backup).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Forbgodzila:
Perfect. So now all I will need to do is to follow the instructions using odin. And when it is done I will have to reinstall everything back, and when in few months I will get the official lollipop update from my network provider I will be able to download it even if I am running lollipop, correct?

Sent from my SM-N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SkanMac:
Exactly. This is OFFICIAL lollipop too. And if a next update comes out, you will receive it OTA.

But this tutorial is for N9005. Don't install this on another Note 3 version.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Forbgodzila:
Isnt the sm-n900w8 the same? It is the one supporting lte and 3G. Theres w8 only because it is the Canadian note. I can't do it?

Sent from my SM-N900W8
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SkanMac:
No you can't. This ROM works only for the N9005 version. Nothing else.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

If you absolutely want lollipop, you can install Cyanogenmod 12 (it's a custom rom based on lollipop, and it's available for your phone version).

During last few days my Note 3 on Lollipop has restarted several times. Before update from KitKat to Lollipop I didn't have such problem.

Note 3 was updated using metod: MobileOdin + SuperSU + full wipe.

1. Do you also noticed such behaviour?

2. Do you know any metod to check why my phone is rebooting by itself?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
Probably updating baseband may help as i heard using mobile odin does not update the baseband only pc odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] McGyver dei poveri:
24h tested hard with mobile odin +root, didn't upgraded the bootloader from PC.. No rebbots till now, just noticed a strange switch between 4G - WiFi under weak Wi-Fi signal. With KK was more stable... But for the rest is fine, just lags the recent app close.

And the google keyboard autocorrection sucks under lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] XLAAX:
I have an unbranded Note 3 from the UK currently on the beta lollipop rom.

Since then I seen Russia got the official Lollipop rom for Note 3 for unbranded Note 3's.

Is it wise to upgrade to this rom for my Phone? For anyone who has tried it is it worth it?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dragonlibrarian:
So, while using the 4.42 to 5.0 mobile odin method will bring you up to Lollipop 5.0, it will also change your system status to "custom". I can also confirm if you flash again using PC Odin, the system status changes back to "official".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] McGyver dei poveri:
OK but you'll lose root. Anyone tried to see if upgrading only the bootloader causes problems or root lost?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dragonlibrarian:
That's okay, I don't mind losing root. I had root for over a year on the Note 3 but never really did much with it, for fear of tripping Knox. I had more fun changing ROMs on my Note 1 knowing I could always restore it to original spec.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stesteste:
you can update bootloader in odin you dont lose root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Buckster76:
still only a Vodafone release for UK

how slow are they to release these firmwares - especially for those of us that buy outright non-carrier

you'd think "stock" BTU would be out first - very frustrating - surely the network specific variants are "based" on the BTU as the "core" ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] XLAAX:
This echoes my thoughts EXACTLY.

I don't understand why the international/unbranded version isn't the first to be released either. I did ask on twitter why, but this question was out right ignored, and trying to ask for an ETA on it results in a "Top secret" message, which is just ridiculous, as sometimes they say that, the update ends up being released the next day, they never announce a date on there when they say to come back there when they can share info, and how is their customers knowing an update date not beneficial for them that they want to withold it? So in short, their twitter is terrible and useless.

Been wondering whether its wise to update to the russian BTU version, on my UK unbranded note 3, but not sure. I still have the beta version of lollipop on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] costinmike:
worth it?

Hi guys,

I wonder if it worth to flash this If i have leaked version of lollipop wich also works pretty good on me. What is the differences beetwen this ROM and leaked one?

This rom is just ****ing amazing. Everything works perfect like on Stock rom.

This rom has everything from the note 4, weather widget, s voice everything. The interface is beautiful, many things are customizable.

All i can say is, flash it :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] kdw_dj:
Frequent reboots of Lollipop drives me crazy. Tonight I' been waken up twice by vibrations accompaning reboot. :/

1. Maybe my phone is rebooting because of metod used to update? (MobileOdin + SuperSU.zip + full wipe)

2. Is there any way to downgrage to KitKat and keep root and Knox 0x0?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jannemanishere:
Why not try a factory reset first?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ranwej:
Did you update bootloader and modem afterwards through Odin PC?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kdw_dj:
I've made full wipe/factory reset 3 times.

Didn't update bootloader and modem afterwards. So you suggest me to do it first? I will not loose root and knox 0x0?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] celderic:
If you haven't followed the steps and updated the bootloader and modem to the latest versions.. i would avoid posting bug reports.

Also if you still get reboots with them both updated (and if it was running fine on kk) then i assume it is one of the apps you are using.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] McGyver dei poveri:
I thought mobile Odin was flashing the new modem too, so it doesn't ?

Lot of "unfortunately stopped working" messages

Huff... Read through all the 73 pages and feeling sad that I couldn't find anything related to my problem. I was in stock Kitkat 4.4.4 (DBT Germany firmware) with CF-Auto-Root. Did a Nandroid backup through cwm and then flashed the Poland Lollipop yesterday and everything went fine except at every boot, I get a number of "Unfortunately ...... stopped working" messages. After hitting "ok" to all those pop up errors, everything seems to working.

Below are the ones it throws the message about:

s Planner

Contacts Storage

Internet

Settings

the process android.process.media has stopped

Key Chain

Gallery

I've checked here and in other forums and people who have done a full reset still face the same issue. So I'm still wondering whether I should go and hit "ok" to full reset or wait to see if there's any workaround. BTW, I've cleared cache in recovery, cleared individual data and cache of the above apps and so on and nothing worked. And battery seems to be depleting super fast (like one percent / min when screen is on and otherwise, in 2hrs and 30 mins, its in 76% without usage). :confused:

And twrp site seems to be down. So couldn't get the .tar file. The one in this thread is only a ZIP file. How to go about it? (Asking this thinking that clearing dalvik cache in recovery might help and so wanted the twrp download).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kdw_dj:
1. Modem is in version BOA1, so it is updated by MobileOdin.

2. Phone has reboots even without any installed applications.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ranwej:
So update bootloader thru Odin PC to official lollipop, you will keep root and knox 0x0. Then post back if it solved your issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] djoneal:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
Still receiving random process.settings has stop message and sometimes freezes on samsung screen then that message pops up this only happens after the phone has been turned off for a long time and then turned on or sometimes after a reboot.

Already done factory reset and reflash rom with updated baseband. Still manageable but usually resolves by resetting data of settings under application manager.

Noticed also that there are 2 settings listed.

But will agree that you need to tick update baseband on odin pc when flashing lollipop to get less random reboots and connectivity problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Xdevillived666:
Uhoh

Had this same issue coming from kitkat. I went through and flashed a custom lollipop rom and then did the stock through odin with no issue. Ill upload the roms and firmwares I have to a torrent if you guys want?

Thanks to DeuXGod for sending pit file.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
Lads, anyone who's having issues after upgrading, there was this issue in the leak, where the bootloader and modem would not update if a custom recovery is present. Many people reported a successful process after doing the process twice in a row.

I can confirm this as i had a KK bootloader and modem with the Leak for nearly a month, luckily i had no issues though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Neodanzaiver:
Experiencing the same issues minus the super fast battery drain.I was using custom kk rom,but I did a full wipe prior to flashing the new polish lollipop rom via pc-odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Xdevillived666:
Grab the polish firmware,odin 3.09 or above,flash it,let it boot,grab cf auto root, flash it as pda or ap via odin, reboot, then download twrp manager from playstore and bam,everything works fine. If your getting bootloops after installing the polish firmware,go into stock recovery and do a wipe(worked for me the first time) :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] downloadmyths:
Well, after waiting the whole day, twrp site came up late in the evening and I flashed the recovery using odin. Then installed SU. Backed up all data once again in TB Pro and factory reset. Everything seems to be fine. Battery life isn't so great but I'm still testing. My phone is hardly 7 months old, so couldn't be a bad battery.

Google apps seems to be main culprit keeping the CPU awake all time. Any clue what this "GlanceViewMK" under Notifications is? Should I check it and if so, will it deplete the battery fast?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Someguyfromhell:
Glance View feature. If you tick it, then you can see all your notifications when using the glance view feature (feature itself is in Controls - Motions I think). Should have no effect (or very minimal) on battery.

Better to do full wipe (wipe data/system/cache/dalvik cache) before flashing the rom via odin.

Playing around with notification panel I noticed there is the icon for sound, I moved it just one position and voila, it works, mute is back on on notification panel....I haven't rebooted yet to see if it survives that.

I moved it around in notification panel settings

rooted, TWRP 2.8.5.0 if that makes a difference

I flashed Lollipop just to check this, but this doesn't do anything at all! I am rooted with TWRP latest too! Could you please record your screen while you are doing the process?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] fepdzu:
Which app did you use for your screen recording? I did it all by going to settings, then device then notification panel is you want the exact way I did it. I was reordering my toggles, noticed the sound one. Initially I think I moved it down without hitting the reset button then thought why not put it in the top row, swiped down my notification bar and there it was.

Let me show the button working.... Am hesitant to remove it and try again in case it fails:eek:

Are we due to get the 5.0.1 or 0.2 update anytime soon? I'm fairly sure there's a bluetooth bug with 5.0, causing my Pebble Watch to constantly disconnect. It's pretty much unusable. 5.0.2 on my HTC One M7 is fine though.

I was thinking about getting the M8 or M9 anyway, so if an update to fix this isn't forthcoming very soon, then it'll be a good opportunity to sell this and get the HTC.

It's a shame though, as I quite liked the Lollipop update otherwise. And Samsung have seemingly finally fixed the bluetooth battery drain issues (when using a smartwatch) which have plagued me for the past year or two but that are not present on the HTC One phones.

Just a quick question guys!

My friend has a N9005 32gb 4.4.2. If i flash the lollipop update to his phone, do I still need to tick re-partition and add PIT file for he has a 32gb variant? or should I just flash the ROM without ticking the repartition and PIT?
