Hey all
going to be a bit of a db one, but I pretty much just want either links to guides, or a list of processes to get my note onto Cyanogen Mod 10.1, I don't want any custom kernals or anything, just a custom recovery and a custom rom on my phone before I go on
I flashed before using odin to sort out a update problem after my 4.0 ota screwed
I also flashed clockwork mod onto my galaxy s + back in the day so I am custom to software like this
Phone details
Vodafone N 7000 running 4.1.2
never touched anything before modding wise minus the stock reflash after 4.0 ota screw up
sooo pretty much, is it just a case of flash clockwork mod in odin then flash rom, or do I need anything else?
Does anyone know if I can use the file N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.MD5 in Safestrap to create another stock rom on my phone?
My idea is to have the Stock ROM slot my everyday use phone, and on Rom Slot 2 another stock rom with every app possible locked/frozen except the camera.
Thanks for any help
hi everyone, im a newbie and im having a little trouble understanding and fixing my phone.
so ill start at the beginning, i bought a note 3 from at&t N900A and then moved out of the US (after contract expired and i sim unlocked with the code they gave me.)
I could not connect to at&t servers from outside US to OTA update. (i dont remember if i was mj5 or mi9)
So i learned about rooting while trying to update and decided to use kingo root app and got root access
then i installed safestrap 3.71 for a custom recovery, then i backed up my stock rom and made a new rom slot. Then i resorted my stock rom to rom slot 1.
this is my mistake: i flashed the knoxraid rom from here
http://galaxynote3root.com/att-galaxy-note-3-roms/knoxraid-kitkat-rom-for-att-galaxy-note-3/
however i forgot to do the data/factory wipe. To make matters worse i realized this and pulled the battery out after about 20 seconds (the download bar was about 10% complete)
when i put the battery back in the phone went straight to recovery (recovery and download mode were the only ones working)
i started panicking as this was my first time rooting/installing roms and tried to find a solution
i found one and used this:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-unbrick-att-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900a/
i flashed all the files correctly and odin got to about 95% and the said FAIL
i panicked again when i turned my phone on and it went to an error screen saying firmware upgrade incountered an issue etc.
before i harm my device further i would like to know what to do (i can still get to download mode)
odin mode say it is A2 so i belive that is mj5
i want to know: should i reflash stock mj5, and if so please provide link
should i do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48243768&postcount=1
should i use the N900AUCUBMI9_OneClickBin.exe
or should i flash nc2 files found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117
will the nc2 kitkat brick my device? keep in mind it is running A2 which im sure is mj5
Thank you everyone in advance
NC2 won't brick your device, but it'll upgrade your bootloader to A3 which will prevent you from ever downgrading back to MJ5 (not that you'd want to anyway). I'd just go with NC2 since it's rootable with TowelRoot anyway. Also, in your case I'd recommend using the 4-file method rather than the 1-file method since it's an upgrade from 4.3 rather than just a restore to stock 4.4.2.

You might want to consider adding the Pit file too to repartition your phone just in case anything got messed up in the failed odin flash that would definitely clean everything up. It might be overkill but I don't think it would hurt to do since you're doing a factory reset with the 4-file install anyway
Hi, having a problem, I was getting ready to flash a custom rom on my new Att Galaxy S4 NG3, everything was ready to go I was in safestrap, advanced > formatted everything and then the battery fell out. Now all I get is the splash screen that says Samsung with the custom lock on it....

First, is it an S4 or S5? Double check that BEFORE trying these next steps. Find the ODIN file for your phone and you'll have to start over. ODIN, root with towelroot, install busybox, install safestrap and be on your way.
It is the S5, At&t Version, and I can't seem to find the stock ROM anywhere, I have the NG3 firmware edition.
For anyone else curios I was able to solve my problem. Although I could not find the newest exact version that was on my phone, I used the previous version from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785185
and was able to use odin to reflash the ROM and am now starting over with the process to safestrap and custom ROM's.
I am looking for a good rom to try on slot 2 on att note 3. I'm on NC2 and I don't want to I install anything that will change that and stop safe strap from working. I have the stock rom on stock slot. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks
I don't think the other ROM slots work on note 3 with lollipop installed. I've tried it and couldn't get the ROM to work.
