Did you come from any custom rom or the leaked LP rom? Cos I remember some discussions about repartitioning and pit and bootloader flashing etc., Anyways, just search in this thread and also, there was one more thread about the issues people faced with LP. Check in both places. Either the link and instructions of downgrading will be there else a solution.

Also do a reset and then remove the SD card (if you have one) and try the initialization once.

Check if "Reactivation" is checked under Security. Uncheck it then flash twrp using odin.

Please, I tried to flash this rom today but i got stucked in the screen of 'samsung galaxy note 3" for long.

what should i do ?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
[MENTION=1504780]t3mpt3d[/MENTION]

Another way of root is to flash twrp it works and used it then flash supersu

[MENTION=4410136]cckwan[/MENTION]

It usually takes 5 to 10 minutes to completely boot after flashing the lollipop firmware if its still stuck heres what you can do reboot to tecovery wipe data then flash again
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cckwan:
but i have been stuck for few...hrs

and after that i can't enter cwm recovery anymore. I can only enter the stock recovery!

thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] speedspeedspeed:
so since there arebluetooth problems its likely there will be updates?

so maybe better wait with flashing

or when update comes you can flash only the update and not the whole firmware?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
If you are able to enter stock recovery there is the option about factory data reset once done turn off the phone and remove the battery then insert the battery and access download mode to flash the firmware again.

Email syncing only over data plan.

Can you help me with this, why my email just sync on data, not on wifi? Whenever I leave the house I get the email. And that was weird. I realized that email only works over data plan. Do you know why is that?

Thank you.

Root without know void warranty

Is there a way to root this lollipop without knox void warranty? I've only just gotten my Note 3.

It seems to me all the previous methods doesn't work with Lollipop yet :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
^ where you either flash cf root or flash custom recovery then flash supersu which all triggers knox
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Afia2k8:
Thank you guys. I'll just be patient and wait then. I just got the phone so have plenty of warranty left.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] uccoffee.forum:
do I still root this firmware with

1: Team Win Recovery Project ( TWRP 2.8.3 ) openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar via Odin 3.09

2: SuperSU v2.42 BETA-SuperSU-v2.42.zip via TWRP

or does it need new TWRP etc?

Backing up and getting all the files ready now.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mikedmontgomery:
I flashed this and appear to have a few region specific apps.

What looks like a Polish Newspaper app (Rzeczpospolita), e-Kiosk and SkyCash...

No big deal, can disable them. Just thought it was a little odd...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] DeuXGod:
No project volta, no user accounts, crippled interruptions, removed do not disturb function that was present on kitkat, missing lockscreen animations compared to note 4 lollipop... why does Samsung keeps creeping what should be a top tear device? I would move to CM if it wasn't for the missing functions of the S-pen and some touchwiz functions...

You can do like that. But there's a more recent version of TWRP. 2.8.5.0 if I'm not mistaken.

Do i need the .tip file for my 32Gb Version? If yes, i only have the one from my 4.4 fw.. where do i get the .PIT for 5.0?

Like in this guide: [GUIDE][HOW TO FLASH LOLLIPOP | SM-N9005][5.0 | N9005XXUGBNL8][Easy]

Im not so experienced with Samsung Phones and the Flash tools, its for my Girlfriend ;) :p

Im coming from Nexus and Sony devices.. so sorry for possible dumb questions..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vz_commo:
so flashed this rom, which seems awesome so far but i didnt seem to upgrade the modem :( going to try a few things though or if someone has any suggestions
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DeuXGod:
You don't need PIT file. This is a official upgrade from Samsung so no change to partitions is required. Just download the file, extract it. Load the md5 on Odin in PA section, set phone in download mode (volume up+home+power) connect it to PC and flash.

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RickyGC:
Can we please get a how-to upgrade from the leaked lollipop to the official lollipop? :)

I don't know what the PIT file is, how to back it up or even why I need to? Thanks for the assistance!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Meannekes:
There is a Modem.bin in the md5 file.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Meannekes:
Thanks for the quick answer!

Why is the pit file required for the leaked version (32Gb Version)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gurumachaz:
I thought this update would improve and upgrade for the best.

But, the "BEST" are actually those Developers here who turn defect crap into perfection.

Hello.

I have a GN3 N9005(XSI Region) and I haven't ever flashed a firmware using Odin.I want to flash this ROM,so i wanted to know whether or not I need to back up the efs folder and also the possible risks of flashing this firmware on my device.

Thanks.

Hi

I currently have DMJ7, autorooted and Knox 0x1.

I wish to keep root after updating, anything I should pay attention to or can I just flash from Odin?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cymax:
Hi all, I have T-Mobile SM-N9005 Note 3 (when it boots it says T-Mobile so i suppose is branded but there are no other markings). It has 4.4.2 KK, Baseband is N9005XXUGNI3, Build no.: KOT49H.N9005XXUGNI4. Never rooted and only updated via OTA. I suspect that my provider will offer OTA for 5.0 any soon. So can I use this firmware to update to 5.0 via Odin? Thanks, Best Regards.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
Flash using odin install custom recovery then flash supersu since rooting lollipop will aleays trigger knox and yours is already triggered you will not have any problems with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kosmarnik:
Haven't been following Note 3 xda development since I rooted it.

So,

flash ROM using odin

install custom recovery, (say twrp https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltecan/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-hltecan-4.3.img.tar)

flash superSU (this one? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hell Guardian:
To anyone who were on the first official poland ROM and updated to the latest one, are there are any battery improvements?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Manneman32:
Install any battery monitor app from Play Market (I recommend GSam Battery Monitor) and find out what is draining the battery.

The most of us finds the battery amazing so it´s more likely it´s something on your phone configuration.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Maniaccc:
I didn't noticed any big difference regarding to battery life. Maybe lollipop is litle bit better than kitkat. I did factory reset before and after upgrading to lollipop via pc odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] downloadmyths:
If you have sview cover and weather enabled in it, try disabling it. It did make a huge difference for me and few others also. Also, try disabling unified demon if that's showing up high in the battery stats (weather widget will stop working though). Also change location to power saving and network mode to wcdma/gsm from LTE (if you haven't done these already). Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hell Guardian:
Well are there are any differences? other than the silent mode of course. its a hell for me to update now as I need to flash kitkat first then flash again through mobile odin.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

Yes it works for you. My phone is also not a Poland version. I installed first lollipop realise of poland via pc odin. Than installed second lollipop release via OTA. Important thing is doing factory reset before and after the update for first lollipop update.

i was having root and custom recovery before the update i wonder how i can get the root and custom recovery again in this update . i tried to flash the philz custom recovery it show in the odin pass but when i try to boot into recovery mode its booting to the stock recovery.

Sorry for my bad english?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] terino:
This is my first post so please be gentle with me.

I installed on my N9005 about a month ago the N9005XXEGBNL8 version of lollipop. It runs quite smoothly but some times it freezes and lags at a point that you have to reboot the device. This happens about once every 2-3 days. I haven't pushed the device to the edge and I'm afraid that if I do, I will see more freezing and I'm starting to get disappointed. Anyway, I have a question that hopefully hasn't been answered in the previous pages and I missed it.

I didn't get my version OTA, I downloaded it via the leaked sources online and I installed it with odin. Is it the latest one or the N9005XXUGBOB6 is the latest? Do you think that these glitches that I'm talking about will be solved if I install it?

Thank you in advance for your answers and please forgive any mistakes in my English.:)

edit: if my version is not the latest, a link to the latest one would be dearly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bugoy8:
Hi just updated to the newest Polish firmware

Got 3 bloatware apps

Rzeczpospolita, e-Kiosk, and some payment app

Used Titanium backup to remove them. Seems weird that was included. Anyone else find this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mdfpido:
This Lollipop update is Samsung's version of Apple pushing out updates to render your priced smartphone basically useless because it has past its shelf life far too long now.

This abomination of an update prompted me to go AOSP because that's how bad it is. Makes my powerful phone feel like it's a 5-year-old iPhone. I'm on Temasek's ROM enjoying Lollipop far more than Samsung could ever dreamed of having.

And if people will tell me to "STFU! our phone runs faster than KitKat," here's to you: stop being delusional. Lollipop and Touchwiz don't mix.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blacque:
I have the BOB6 version and like one before it from Poland ..when the phone is stressed it simply reboots...which is annoying...that issue still persists ...another annoying issue is the lag when u first open the recent apps screen...

Yea, it was on KitKat version too. Just remove them, some Poland-only apps that they might find useful.

Thanks a lot for the useful guide! :good:

Full wipes done, bootloader updated correctly, Knox is still 0x0, root access is working, the only flaw is that my system status has switched to "custom" (in KitKat it was "Official" even if rooted).

Even this is not a big deal, does anyone have any suggestion how to restore "Official" status please? :o

Can you make a Screenshot of the Settings / About Screen with the Kernel Info.

The Kernel on some Custom Roms fix the Bluetooth Problem, not that ROM itself. I think when it's on the Brazil ROM an newer kernel inside the Bluetooth Problems are with this fixed.

There you go.. i cant remember if this is the same kernel or not
