[Galaxy Note 3 General] woldranger:
Hi guys. I'm finally looking to move up from stock 4.4.2 (rooted) as I thought I'd wait a while till the bugs had been worked out. I've read back a solid 15 pages and there seems to be no issues with battery drain on these official ROM's, but nothing saying it was decent either - what's the general consensus about the battery life compared to Kitkat?

I'm from the UK (but in Canada at the mo), should I go for the UK firmware or is there a more up to date one I could use that would work? (I remember running Polish firmware on my rooted S3).

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ithehappy:
For me the battery life is significantly better than KitKat ROMs, that's why I still keep thinking that Samsung must have made a Limited Edition phone for me and then went on and cooked a Limited Edition Lollipop version for me too when I read others complaining about battery life and kinds.

UK, India, doesn't matter, flash whatever is available and stable, and for me its the Nordic Region ones which are the most stable one, and with least number of bugs too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
You may flashed a few roms to get to know which one is best for your phone as for me I tried flashing nordic, uk, uae and a few more firmware before sticking to my current one which is Polish rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] woldranger:
What was it about the Polish ROM made you decide to stick with that one?

I'm running the stock recovery, is there a convenient way for me to do a full backup before trying this out? I had major issues with Titanium back on the S3 so I'd rather not have to reply on it. I used Santa backup earlier on this phone but it took an age and I had a lot of messing around. I had a custom recovery on my HD2 but had quite a few issues with that, hence why I'm trying to keep things as close to stock as possible then tweak it with xposed installer, Nova launcher etc as I travel a lot and stability is one of my major requirements.

Okay, so I went ahead and install TWRP recovery (from the twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar), downloaded the Nordic Countries N9005XXUGPOI2 from Samobile and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, extracted the tar file and put it on my external sd card.

I paid for and installed Mobile Odin Pro and went through the install process as outlined at the start of this thread, then....nothing. I got the Blue Android, Odin character and that's it.

Could it be that I've installed the wrong version of TWRP??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cryostasis25:
Its possible because if you need to have a stock recovery if you are using mobile odin. The reason I stick with polish because ik having problem with my cellular data connectivity its possible that it is because the modem and baseband but still getting the same slow and unreliable connection switches from E H+ and vice versa.

I'm on K9 rom, I almost got 3 hours Screen On Time and my battery lasted a total of 7 days.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] woldranger:
I didn't know it had to be stock recovery, so everything went south! I installed a N9005XXUGPOI2 (can't seem to see it on Sammobile at the mo) ROM through Odin on my PC and rooted it. I've reinstalled TWRP after it dodn't show up initially.

My biggest concern at the moment is that I can't get xposed installer! This is a deal breaker for me. I get a message, Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or your processor architecture (armaebi-v7a). I don't want to go over to a custom ROM but if I can't run Xposed on stock then I'll either have to try to downgrade to 4.4.2 or go custom. Any suggestions?

Talk about one step forward, 2 steps back!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] molepole:
Hi,

I tried to upgrade my Dad's Note 3 from 4.4.2 to 5.0 but I think I soft bricked it. His baseband version before doing anything was "N9005XXUGNG1". He told me he bought his phone in Korea so I assumed the Taiwan version posted in this thread would be okay to flash.

Odin failed to flash and it says invalid ext4 image. Now I checked the country of origin with the IMEI code and it says it's "Hong Kong, China or Mexico." So now I'm downloading the Hong Kong version but I realised that "N9005XXUGNG1" doesn't exist under any of the versions under Hong Kong or Taiwan. As I looked under some European countries including the UK I found that "N9005XXUGNG1" was under 4.4.2.

Does this mean I need to get the European version of a 5.0 which had a preceding "4.4.2 N9005XXUGNG1"? or should I get the 5.0 from under "Unknown AMO"?

*edit*

I am also living in Australia.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] woldranger:
I understand that, it comes up in the message that I read and posted. I'm wanting to know if there's a way that I can get this on one of the stock Lollipop ROM's
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sandmannet:
Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Bogeyof:
Yes you can use your stock rom, but you have to deodex it, follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3065596 for instructions.

It's not that complicated and after deodex your Rom you have to use xposed for Samsung by arter, it's modified for running with Samsung lollipop stock rom...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] rayman95:
so, do a COMPLETE wipe, including internal sd and flash last BOK6 from your region and that's it....root it and flash last idle kernel and remove some useless apps if you want.....

Guys having serious problem since I flashed Norma and then moved back to Arya. Since then phone won't restart unless battery is manually pulled, and today it is even worse, it won't restart no matter what! Only download mode is accessible, so I am just making sure whether the UK latest ROM, OK6/OJ1, will be successfully flashed on my UAE N9005 32 gigs device or not? Cause I have seen that there are ROMs which can't be flashed via Odin because of whatever reasons! So if anyone knows kindly tell me, kind of an urgent thing...

i think the build date is more important in this case, even the VJU firmwares have a higher changelist, but i think they're separate maintenance streams, and probably exchange findings after a while.

i say this a lot, typical samsung inconsistency :)

EDIT: keep in mind, the P on POK3 is a special maintenance for NEE, nordic countries. on some phones they differ, on some they dont.

Thanks a lot to this great forum and great help.

Thanks to "rayman95" for guiding to install this firmware from Netherlands.

Thanks to "henklbr" for uploading this latest firmware for note 3.

Overall advice to everyone:

Which ever country you are from, it doesn't matter, just install this Netherlands version and you are good to go. Before that i was finding the Poland version but Sammobile is dead slow and same goes for every filthy Samsung websites hosting the firmware which are even slower than snails. Though Mega was also slow, but faster than Samsung websites. Just install this version with Odin and you are good to go.

Urgent.....N9005 wifi issue

Hi everyone

I bought a used note 3 recently after saving money for it for quite a time. I am a huge fan of note series.

Anyhow to cut the long story short, the phone was not branded, it was international version of SM-N9005 snapdragon LTE version and unlocked phone, with 4.4.2 installed. I didn't check any hardware and straight away installed new OS. I installed 5.0 with odin downloading the firmware from your thread . The 5.0 installed fine and everything was working perfectly.

When i turned on the wifi, i faced a very strange issue. The wifi button moves and wifi turns on, detects the available wifi networks and then in 2-3 seconds, it turns off, again turns on (itself) and turns off and continues doing it.

At first, i thought it is a software glitch, so i downloaded another ROM from http://samsung-updates.com/details/57476/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/XEO/N9005XXUGBOK6.html"]http://samsung-updates.com/details/57476/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/XEO/N9005XXUGBOK6.html"]http://samsung-updates.com/details/57476/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/XEO/N9005XXUGBOK6.html but the problem persisted.

I am quite depressed. If it is hardware issue or software issue? The phone came with 4.4.2 installed and if i remember correctly, i updated some stuff like samsung app center just while playing with note 3 but didn't do much thorough checking before updating to lollipop. Can anyone guide me what to do. As to my view, there could be problem with ONE rom, not 2 roms while one is on XDA could be problematic but one on samsung-update couldn't be problematic as it is on official servers.

I urgently need your kind reply and help.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sjant:
Did you remmeber to update your bootloader and modem?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] awaisagha:
I am not so much techie kind of person, i just followed the main instructions written by the thread starter and this Netherlands ROM. I don't know how to update bootloader and modem. Can you please guide me as how to do it?

Well, as per my limited info is, if this was some bootloader and modem issue, the OS shouldn't run fine with everything else and just produce wifi connectivity issues. But again i apologize if i am sounding noob, as i am not aware of very deep things.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sjant:
It sounds like you are using a kitkat bootloader and modem which can cause all sorts of problems when you are running a more recent version of android (lollipop in your case). The OS as such will have no problem starting up, but if you look at the q/a section on the forum you will find a ton of threads with all sorts of errors stemming from an outdated bootloader and modem. It's highly recommended to update. I'll link a guide below.

hi guys

im sory for my english and my Question her

i have a note 3 n900

since i aupdated my phone to 5.0 lp rom i got sim cart register problem and when i use *#06# cod that says null or like this

i flashed some modems on lolipop but thats didnt helpe me

after that i dongreted my phone to 4.4.2 with odin and try to uose som modems with this verjen but thats didnt helpe me too

and agen i flashed lolipop 5.0 rom with odin and i cant solve this problam!!!!!

now my Question is what l have to do?

is this hardware or software problam?

if i use z3x box and Rewrite s/n can i solve this problam with my simcard?

Again im sory for my english
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
You are right, VJU is for the Americas.

As i know, XXU can switch to VJU, and vice versa, they dont seem to differ in partition tables as well. Not sure about DXU (some part of asia) and ZSU (hong-kong), i think they have different 16GB eMMC, hence the PIT difference.

We should be able to use VJU Bootloader/Modem, i'll report back as soon as i test.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Serrano:
I have upgraded to N9005VJUGBPD4 from N9005XXUGBPB2 (no wipe). The process went smoothly, just like when upgrading between XXU builds, and it's working fine, apparently. The upgrade also bumps the Android Security Patch Level from February to May, so it may be worth a try just because of that. On the downside, the build is pretty customised for Kölbi, a local network carrier (custom boot animation, home background, icons and extra carrier apps).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
Did you update the whole rom or just the bootloader/modem?

Thanks for the input.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Serrano:
The whole ROM, using Odin 3.10 default options, selecting the ROM binaries for the AP entry in the files section, and also checking the Phone Bootloader Update setting.

Everything works fine so far. The annoying theming won't be an issue if you use a different launcher or if you actually change the TouchWiz theme in a rooted phone.
