[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louiscar:
I have read a lot but I remain confused about how I should go about this as there is a lot of different methods and some conflicting information.

I'm hoping by asking this question someone might clarify the best way forward.

I have a UK Note 3 (non branded) 32GB which I currently have rooted with Towelroot. It's still on JB - N9005XXUBMJ3_N9005OXABMJ3_BTU

It's Knox 0x0 at the moment.

I've lived with it for a while not upgrading to Kit Kat taking OTAs for fear of losing my root. But now I'm looking at upgrading.

The questions are

1) what is the best (safest) method to go about this from JB to 5.0 presuming I am no longer worried about the Knox flag tripping?

2) If possible to keep knox 0x0 what method is best (safest)?

3) Should I avoid any method that uses PIT files? Some do and many people say this is dangerous and not necessary?

As far as knox flag staying at 0x0 there are a fair few threads that claim you can keep it at 0 but it's hard to figure out whether one needs to go to Kit Kat first or it can be done directly. eg.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150

talks about only going from 4.4.2 not 4.3. I guess because I've stayed on JB not many people assume anyone is still on it.

haed brick problems

ive seen on yu forums that many people have bricked their devices using the fastboot method. have you personaly tried this method?
[YU Yureka General] rohitjaiswal:
no, but i have collected these info from forum. let we wait for reviews. but i think this would be work
[YU Yureka General] rohanvaja:
doomlord has posted to wait for the official instructions to flash using fastboot as many people have bricked their devices.
[YU Yureka General] rohitjaiswal:
YES, we have to wait.
[YU Yureka General] Vipan Ranout:
I think Bootloader can't be replaced from Fastboot. That is why people flashing CM12 first time through Fastboot are bricking their devices. Once updated through OTA or manually through stock recovery, I think fastboot flashing of CM12 will work fine, but not on CM11 (32 Bit Bootloader)
[YU Yureka General] xx88:
worked for me!

but, i should put a disclaimer here: i had soft bricked my device while upgrading to lollipop using the stock recovery and the OTA zip.

my phone used to show the YU logo, and switch off itself, I couldnt even go into the recovery. I could only get into the fastboot mode.

I downloaded the files and followed the instructions, and then my phone atleast showed the CYANOGEN logo. But it wouldnt start. I discovered that I could atleast go into the recovery mode, from where I flashed the OTA zip, and voila, the device boots!

BTW, i managed to get my device into a bootloop a short while later. so i flashed the entire zip using fastboot, and didnt relock the bootloader. it works!
[YU Yureka General] onlyoneaamir:
worked for me too

i first updated from cm11 to cm12 using ota

then i can install cm12 using this zip easily;)

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] locorecto:
This is a compilation of threads that I used in order to SIM unlock a Sprint Galaxy S5 G900P that came with Lollipop 5.0. I have always used the SSU.apk from this incredible thread in order to unlock my sprint Galaxy S4, S5 and Note devices. However, whenever I install the apk and try to run it on 5.0, I get an error saying that the application (SSU) stopped working or something like that and it doesn't even work.

Just to be clear, I didn't came up with this idea. This is just a compilation of different ideas that I found on XDA on different thread to accomplish this.

Disclaimer: Do this at you own risk. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. I can only assure you this worked for me.

Use this steps to Sim unlock you G900P from Sprint running Lollipop 5.0

1. Downgrade your ROM from Lollipop 5.0 (OA6 ) to Kitkat 4.4.2 (NE5) using this link . Yes you can do this!!!

-Remember for this step you need Odin

2. Unlock you device by Installing and running SSU.apk using this thread

At this point your device should be unlocked. If you want to go back to Lollipop OA6 proceed to step 3.

3. Download the Lollipop 5.0 ROM OA6 from here and flash it using Odin by following the same steps on point 1.

That is all. I hope this helps you guys as much as it did to me.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] KEN23289:
Hi guys, i just bought the S5 Sport on Ebay and intend to unlock it to use with the GSM network in NZ. Unfortunately, this device comes with android 5.0 lollipop that can't use the App SSU to unlock

I have tried to download the older android version on Sammobile but i got the error message Fused 2 > Bin 1 when i tried to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.x. Just google the this issue and find out the reason that the bootloader is locked at 5.0 version, Samsung just only allow me to go to higher firmware, not the old ones

I also have tried to root and install Custom recovery (successful) and install the custom 4.x rom. Tried exactly what the other post said ( download the one for G900p and reflash the Kernel of G860P) but the phone keep restarting (i've tried many roms on XDA, on one works)

So anyone help me to how to downgrade the android of this S5 Sport Or another method to unlock Sprint S5 sport on 5.0 please.

thank you

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] poldavo:
Hi! I spent most of the day reading your discussions and I learned a LOT (thanks!)

I have a similar case with a Samsung S5 SM-G900P from Sprint (but internationally unlocked by Sprint).

1) Background:

- I just moved to France from the USA with my Sprint Samsung S5 (SM-900P, running on Android 5.0 Lollipop)

- My service with Sprint terminated this week.

- I have purchased a French SIM card from the second largest French carrier SFR, and they confirmed activation of the line.

- I skyped Sprint from here and Sprint willingly unlocked my device for international SIM cards (GSM, etc)

2) My Issue:

- My Samsung S5 detects the presence of my new SFR sim card (it has even installed the SFR toolkit app to manage the SIM card), but it still displays "invalid SIM card"

- I try to perform a "UICC unlock" just in case (as recommended by Sprint) but it gives an error message (error 407) after initializing the app. Here is where the international service guys of Sprint just drop the ball for an ex customer.

- ((I have the APN codes and info for the SFR network, if needed)).

- First I tried factory resetting the device and tried again to UICC unlocking but it keeps popping up an error message after trying to do so. I have tried in different ways (with Sprint SIM card, with French SIM card, without SIM Card, without SD storage memory card on it) and same result.

- Then I read that I could force that with the SSU.apk app. Like others, when I try to run the app in Android 5.0 it stops.

- I read that some people downgraded to Kitkat 4.4 or less to use the SSU app. I downloaded the almost 2 GB of firmware for that and got ready for it. However, I have a Mac, so I couldn't install Odin (only for PC) to downgrade to KitKat 4.4 and use SSU.apk to force unlocking of my device (which is already unlocked for international use by Sprint... but with the issues mentioned above).

Any ideas on how can I perform this last step (letting my Samsung S5 device now that he is free!) so it stops saying "Invalid SIM card")? Any guidance to a newbie is really really appreciated
