Hello xda developers
I am wondering if someone can answer a few questions i have about rooting my samsung note?
I'm in Australia and just got my note with vodafone on Saturday. I have been doing some searching in the dev section and I haven't found my kernel version (2.6.35.7-N7000BDULB3-CL977082) to download from dr.ketan I have also searched for it on sammobile.com with no luck also.
So from the above statement does anyone know where i can get a copy of it from or know how i can backup mine from my phone atm?
I have found a root solution however It is for the GT-N7000 model which is at rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall
If I followed this above method would I end up bricking the phone as the phone version are different? I found nothing on a search when comparing the two
Sorry for an the essay of a post too.
Looks like you're the only guy in the whole wide world with the exotic N7000BDULB3 GB, mate.
https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=N7000BDULB3&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Anyway, you can always flash and root and older Rom, then upgrade to whatever you want whilst keeping your root. Here's a little guide to downgrading and rooting I wrote some time ago, hope it helps.
You'll have a rooted KK9 rom after you're done. Then you can download any new GB version (LC1 is the latest) from here and flash it with Mobile Odin, with Everroot and Inject Superuser options ticked. That will keep your root.
Good luck.

Thanks so much, and your posts are one of the easiest to follow and gives a great head start for noobs! Great Job really!
I used this method and now I see a yellow triangle.
1. Will this yellow triangle during boot up, disappear if I follow your unroot method?
2. Will my phone can be updated to ICS once Samsung officially provides upgrade to ICS for Galaxy Note?
3. I tried SetCPU, the phone became very hot, when I over clocked and it just hang. I brought it back to normal.
4. What are all the other useful, important things we can do after root, other than installing Titanium Backup etc.

This might be a stupid question chasmodo so bare with me.
With the KKA firmware when extracted I get the 2 files like you said the .tar.md5 and the dll file.
In odin do i just select the .tar.md5 file under the pda option? or do i have to put the dll file in an option as well.

Do you have Sammy drivers installed on your PC? This is important. From Dr Ketan's guide:
"Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly."

Thanks for the tip before about the process seemed to get further now.
Problem now it seems to be getting stuck at setup connection in odin?
the set that seems to be stuck is the setupconnection... should i just close odin and re-try?

Did you start Odin first, then plug your Note into USB slot? Does Odin show the yellow field with the COM number in it?

I have got the yellow com box wich on my computer says com4.
using odin v1.87 instead odin 1.85 like before.
using the firmware like u suggested to downgrade too as well.
seem to fail when it goes to boot.ini and the kernel section just fails there?
Think I should try flash a kernel or something?

Don't know what else to suggest at this point. I'd leave it as it is and wait for Dr. Ketan to bail you out.
@Dr. Ketan:
Mum, help us, we're stuck here!
This is common for failure when modifying firmware with Odin. Black-and-Blue is what I call the error. My screen has gone black after a failure after the color Samsung animation, and the blue boot light is looping. I tried following instructions on how to un-brick it. They are all the same though. Odin, firmware. But what had caused the problem was this exactly. I need a way to fix this. Unless it is just easier to bring it in for maintenance. (I have not tripped Knox as I was only installing Firmware.) I cannot connect to Kies. I can access Stock Recovery and download mode. Can anyone suggest anything different than this method?
I am a new user at XDA but I am not new to Android or the Forums. I know many things, so you don't have to be too lament.
ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, AS I MUST HAVE THIS SOLUTION BY 2 DAYS

Head down to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120 and scroll down to the notes section and download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar. Boot into download mode and flash using the pda slot in ODIN. Take both OTA's and youll be back on latest stock firmware.
Thanks

Here you'll find how to root. Go to the troubleshooting section and download a tar called G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar to your computer. Then inject to AP in Odin.
Hope this will work! ?
Hi im having difficulty restoring my g900a back to stock. i think i found the stock firmware from zedomax and it works but im still having a problem. on his video he is extracting ONE file but when i download the att firmware there is 4 and im pretty sure i need all the fiels to be flashed. is there a way to do that? here is the file http://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-stock-firmware/
when i unzip there is 4 tar files. i did the biggest one but i think im missing the bootloader, recovery ect. please help anyone ive tried different stock firmwares on xda and all of them just fail. thanks guys.
What method are you using to flash? Odin or safestrap? Do you have safestrap installed?

It might be the actual stock ROM (I didn't check that particular file you mentioned) but in general the stock ROM for this phone comes in four files which begin with the following:
AP, CP, CSC, BL
You can load those in their corresponding spots in Odin (BL in bootloader, and so on)
Or you can head over to sammobile and download the stock firmware, which is a Samsung Kies dump file. This is one giant tar ball ( like the one in the video) which you'll just load into the PDA section of Odin 3.09 and flash away.
When you're clicking on ODIN are you running it as Admin? Also see the guy in the video using a USB 2 cable.
yes i am running as admin. it only works when i only use pda. when i put in the bl and csc and cp is keeps failing. after if flashed the pda file the phone reboots and freezes on the samsung screen. should i try doing it one by one?
it wont work still failing. should i flash one by one?
I did but i cant load it. i only get to the samesung logo and it freezes. only thing i can get into is download mode and the stock recovery. is there a way to boot into safestrap when phone is off? im running out of ideas and ive tried to do it on different computers and cords.
it seems like the bootloader file is the only one not working. do you have any idea? please please please help guys

Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar. Unzip and you should get this file "G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5". Now Run Odin 3.09 as admin, and put your phone in download mode. In Odin click on the AP icon and point to the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5. Wait until Odin finishes loading the file it takes some time. Plug usb cable to your phone while in download mode. Once Odin is ready click start. Wait until Odin is done. Your phone will reboot once the flash is done. Please Thank @muniz_ri for his hard work.
Yea. Prolly should have checked this forum before you went on the journey.

Now, Instead of making sarcastic comments, I will provide some assistance. There is one thing left out of all of these tutes that took me a while to catch on to. As a result, my phone was doing the same thing.
When you follow the downgrade instructions, yes leave out the boot loader. Sometimes, the downgrade doesn't do the job properly, so you'll have to go to this thread, scroll to the very bottom post and you'll see a link for "G900A_NCE_Stock_Modem"
You will need to flash this along with the stock firmware. It should correct the boot issue. (Flash in PDA slot)
Furthermore, you will not be able to update via WiFi OTA. You'll have to download the official update files in .zip format.
Go to this thread for the " G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip" to update from NCE to NG3.
This next step is optional, but it won't hurt to try it. Go here and grab the stock NG3 modem and recovery. Flash each (one at a time) in the PDA slot.
My personal opinion of the 4.4.4 update is low. There are many issues with it. But if you're trying get the phone completely up to date then:
Go here for the final update.
You should now be set. Please thank @muniz_ri for his unrelenting dedication to helping others.
It is not my intention to be an ass, but you should begin with google, and then search entire AT&T forum before posting questions like this. Chances are, others have had the same problem, asked, and received a solution exactly like this.
Anyways, I hope I was able to guide you in the right direction...
Edit: It seems that both of the update zips are in the OA1 root guide thread.
P.S.
Your phone is from AT&T, right?
Hello! I have been searching the forums and google, but still a little confused on a few things and hoping you guys can help me out.
I have the stock AT&T Note 3 on Lollipop (N900AUCUEOC2) and I am wanting to root the device. From my understanding, I am needing to downgrade the baseband version via Odin, then root. I did come across this post in an older thread (I didn't want to resurrect an old thread):
Rooted i747 said:
You can't root OC1, but you can use Odin to downgrade to NC2 and root it. Odin v.3.10.6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613. Once you Odin back you can use Towel root or Kingo root (links are posted above your post). Then install Supersu https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en and run it, install Busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en open and install it, then Safestrap http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7216. (You should make a backup once Safestrap is installed before you flash any Roms). Once you're done you can pick a Rom for your Note 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development Now you ever use Odin? http://www.samsungodindownload.com/odin-tutorial/ (The site only shows flashing the All-In-One file so you know). Use all 4 Odin files, N900AUCUCNC2 ODIN Files, BL https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891602 AP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891890 CP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891603 CSC https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891604

But, this was in response to a person with the baseband version of N900AUCUEOC1 while I am on N900AUCUEOC2. Can I follow these same instructions using the same 4 files he uploaded or will that brick my phone? Or, is there a different method you guys recommend to rooting my phone?
Many thanks!

Sorry for the double post, but it has successfully been rooted! I initially had a Korean popup in Odin upon plugging in my phone. Using a different PC resolved that issue. Other than that, zero issues. Greatly appreciate the help!
Will this method trip the knox counter? If I understand it properly I don't think it will, but I just want to verify.

Could you tell me what do with Odin? Do I have to do anything after downloading it? And do I have to use Safe Strap if I'm not flashing any ROMs? Thanks :thumbup:

Odin's fine, my phone's detected right... but every time I try ans flash the NE4 rom listed in the tutorial, which I need to do in order to root, Odin gives a "FAIL!" each time. Is the file itself corrupted or otherwise useless - or is it something else?
For one you need flash fire . Not Odin.

What are you on now? If you are on OF2 or above, you won't be able to flash anything at all. Bootloader was locked and even flashing the older versions is a no go.
