Found it 2 months ago on leaked bnl8 ;)

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

Yes this is cuz of pit problem.

Use pit file from leaked bnl8 firmware better imo.

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

Old method should be still a solution.

Start up your device normally and wait for the system to be fully loaded.

Open any files manager of your choice (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Total Commander) and make sure it runs with superuser permissions.

Mount your system partition as R/W (Read/Write) to perform any changes.

Navigate to the /system/etc/permissions/ folder and look for the platform.xml.

Copy the platform.xml file into the same location as platform.xml.bak file.

Open the platform.xml file with any text editor on your device and search for the following line:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

Now you need to add a 3rd GID line: <group gid="media_rw" />

Using Root Explorer or any other Files Manager of your choice make sure that the platform.xml file has proper permissions: Owner R-W | Group R | Others R (0644 rw-r--r--). You can also use adb shell to set permissions with a chmod 0644 /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml command.

Reboot your device and enjoy!

In case of problems with OTA update just remove modified platform.xml and rename platform.xml.bak to its original name.

Remember, google put new permission for app's developres which can access them rw to specify folder on extSD. This have security reason.

sd card fix in playstore, its for kitkat but its working in my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
This app just add line in platform.xml so better not install crap and useless trash. Do it urself ;)

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

Go into settings->tab "general"->app menager->tab "all"

Find clock app and there force stop, clear data, clear cache. Restart phone and let us know is if it help.

Ok, so I am currently on n9005 4.4.2 without root and would like to go to Lollipop with root permissions.

If I understood correctly I should :

1 Use Odin to flash the Polish Lollipop

2 Root using the SuperSu method

Is there any way I could use Kingo or CF-Auto root instead? If not, could anyone walk me through or upload a video of how to use SuperSu and Twrp to root after installing lollipop?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maqikpl:
Flash twrp and use cf-autoroot.

Remember to use latest version.

U lose warranty and doing it at ur own risk.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bruges0401:
I think I`ll be fine with flashing but I am not too sure about how to root then.

Any links where to read about that specific method? I had read about Kingo but I understand I won`t be able to do it that way...

I tried to read about installing twrp but it seems like it cannot be my first step because the bootloader needs to be already unlocked. How do I do that?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kavletzos:
Hey thanks for your reply but i already tried that no luck :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
Once you flash twrp using odin you can then reboot to download mode then flash cf root.

If you just want to root flash cf root using odin in download mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bruges0401:
So I should be able to Flash twrp without doing anything to the bootloader?

You have right. This is display process but for me have low % usage. And u shoot correctly. He use live wallpaper or some custom launcher.

So i just want to make sure before flashing anything through Odin (i'm coming from leaked lollipop bnl8)

Which pit file do i use ? MSM8974.pit or out.pit

Do i have to flash it separately or with tar.md5 file?

There seems to be a lag when pressing either power button or the home button when the phone is locked.

When opening my Smart Cover, the screen will slowly fade in to the picture instead of just instant On. Why is that? Anyone experiencing that?

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

It really helps to read a couple of posts backwards if you have a question, especially when you're new to XDA. Just a friendly reminder.

This ROM has only one file, put it on AP, then start flashing, no need to worry about any PITs.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] mdfpido:
No problem, mate. You have my Go signal. :)

Make sure to at least make a Titanium Backup (if you can't/don't want to make a Nandroid backup) of your apps when factory resetting. It makes reinstalling said apps a little bit less painful in the rear. :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] RDHoworth:
Given Up - Bluetooth Broken

I successfully installed the leaked ROM, followed by the ROM described here. Each time, I carried out a full data wipe and factory reset. Everything works except for issues with Bluetooth that make this OS unusable for me :(

I use a Gear 2 watch - the phone does not recognize that this disconnects when out of range and fails to reconnect when I go back into range. The reset can be complex, i.e. toggling Bluetooth followed by a manual connect. Other than just inconvenient, this is a security risk as it can leave the phone unlocked.

I have occasionally noticed this with a Bluetooth headset.

I also use a Mercedes car Bluetooth. The phone keeps connecting and reconnecting.

I have tried autoconnect programs, but these do not work.

Now reverted to KitKat ROM, and guess what? - Everything works - I will now wait until Google gets it's act together and/or Samsung fixes these issues before trying again.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blacque:
I notice that the lag is only there the first time you open recent apps.after that its free flowing..wish there was a way to keep this feature locked in RAM

kay i have an issue and its getting on my nerves.

if i install the leaked lollipop with its pit my phone is rly smooth and has a nice performance and the battery life is ok.

if i install the official one with ANY pit i get lags all the time on my phone, like its android 3.0 again and its really bugging me.

im from switzerland got a 32gb note 3, but idk what the issue is. i literally downloaded ALL official firmwares and used the leaked lollipops pit and all of the pits posted here, does anyone know what else i can do?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DeuXGod:
So why don't you use the PIT that I shared? If all runs fine...

---------- Post added at 08:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Yes you can update the bootloader after through Odin, and you won't trigger Knox.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

Lol, just noticed that you meant the leaked lollipop. Anyway do like this, in Odin flash the PIT with auto reboot and partition enabled.

After that the phone will reboot, just pull the battery and go in download mode again. Then just flash the firmware without any PIT. Just the standard options enabled.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ahmedivx:
No Need to root your device, but after you flash this stock ROM, you will have to factory reset / wipe out data through stock recovery (backup all your data first cause this will wipe out all the data on your internal storage), then reboot your phone, go through the initial setup, reboot again in recovery you will see that the applied CSC is XEO, then you can check OTA updates with no problem, you can double check it through phone info software.

Please reply I am nervous lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DeuXGod:
That's your bootloader not your CSC. CSC is the operator code and usually contains APN and identifiers for the network. Yes you can load the firmware on Odin and hit start. If it gives error (size) just load the pit file I shared and use it together with the rom with repartition enabled.

Oh...nice.

I just removed the battery, put it back in and the phone would boot up normally again without going into the firmware upgrade error screen.

I expected it to boot back into the leaked 5.0 that was on it before the "unsuccessful" flash, it took a while for it to optimized all my 313 apps but it finally booted up.

And: tadaa - checking device information showed me that in fact the flash was a full success!

I'm on N9005XXUGBOA1 now.

All apps and settings untouched.

And the best thing: finally my smartwatch bluetooth re-connection issues have gone, the gear 2 connected instantly after entering the SIM pin and unlocking the screen!

If you flash Vodafone you will end up with a shed load of Vodafone junk!! It's bad enough with the Samsung crap everywhere!

if you have model N9005, unlocked, then you can flash the Polish one without any issues. Most of us used the XEO when Kit kat was issued to Poland way before we, in the UK, were graced with it's presence.
