    A Software Update Is Available.

    OTA for Vodafone UK Firmware, but what is it, Version 4.4.4 ? Anyone know ? Tempted to do a Nandroid (I'm rooted) and try it and hope SuperSU keeps root.

    A question for US Note 3 owners.

    Please humour me. Here in the UK every Note 3 purchased is an international Note 3, an SM-N9005. Some have carrier branding which is very very light and at the most is an addition start screen ('3' UK spring to mind) and various network (carrier) apps "baked" into the firmware. Any network...

    Now that Verizon Note 3's are getting KitKat...

    I just wanted to say don't blame Samsung or Google, KitKat is great, it's implementation by carriers is a bit hit and miss to say the least. This applies to any non Nexus Android phone http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/847201-kitkat-4-4-2-release-fact-fiction.html

    SM-N9005 (4.4.2 KitKat). Oddities and Quirks on update.

    I've set this thread up mainly for the international version of the SM-N9005. Mainly because there are hundreds of different CSC codes for umpteen different countries yet it is basically the same firmware and can be used on any SM-N9005 Note 3. Which version you get is dependent on your...

    Root [International] This shouldn't happen, but I'm glad it has.

    I'm running stock Vodafone rooted firmware with Philz touch custom recovery. Now conventional wisdom says because of a custom recovery I shouldn't get OTA updates, I can keep all my settings home screens and then re root and reinstall Philz :) I shall of course uninstall Super User before I...

    Root [International] To Root or not to root?

    This thread will help you make the choice. 1) Rooting in itself is no more dangerous (in my experience and opinion) than using Kies to update. If you do it properly. 2) Rooting in itself will not stop automatic updates for your Note 3 either OTA (Over The Air) or via Kies. Installing a...

    Root [International] Fun Things To Do When Rooted :)

    OK, I'll start the ball rolling anybody can add to this. The only thing I ask is if it is dangerous in any way please tell others it could be and why (if possible). A simple but fun one, change the power up fanfare. This is in no way harmful if you follow my instructions to the letter...

    Root [International] Flashing Stock Recovery

    I'm asking this here rather than the backwater/tumbleweed city (International) Galaxy Note 3 - All Things Root Forum (Population 1 -me) as it will at least get a response. As I understand it I believe it is a custom recovery rather than being rooted that prevents OTA updates, yes ? If so...

    Root [International] How to Root your Note 3 - A complete Novice's Guide

    As promised, if late. I see quite a few posts saying I want to do X or Y, or is Z possible and the replies often state that a "rooted device," or you need "root" to do that. This seems to put people off instantly and really there is no need. I intend to demystify the process and explain how...

    Root [International] "Hiding" Root from certain Apps.

    I know that Rooting your phone often causes certain Apps to throw a wobbly and not work anymore. So far I have discovered two. The Sky Sports Mobile TV (use rarely, bundled channels to watch that came with my Vodafone contract) and Virgin's "TV anywhere", which allows me to set my Tivo box to...

    Help Wi-Fi is too slow - disconnects

    When in a public place like a shopping centre (mall) and I want to browse the Internet (if I'm in a shopping centre I'm sat in a Costa Coffee while the wife and daughter are shopping - so often times in my case) there are usually a myriad of free Wi-Fi networks I can connect to. Literally...

    Root [International] Under used Root forum - Lets change that.

    I've finally got around to rooting my Note 3 (Here on referred to as SM-N9005 to avoid confusion with other versions), now that the Knox warranty has been cleared up a little by Samsung and technically speaking I haven't voided my device warranty by rooting. So after rooting I flashed Philz...

    Root [International] I want a divorce, my missus has "helpfully" updated for me.

    Title says it all. There was my SGS4, sitting in its box on the shelf, all back to stock, unrooted, original firmware and the missus decided to have a play with it. She has let it update OTA to Vodafone's latest MGG firmware. It has Knox enabled and a locked bootloader. I am not...

    S-Voice N3 Vs S-voice SGS4

    The note 3's one blows the SGS4's out of the water. My N3's is V11.2.0.0. It wakes up if I shout it across the room from a locked N3, and has up to now not once failed to recognise what I ask. It is sat next to me now and without picking it up I have just asked it successfully call my sister...

    Root [International] If Knox remains an issue for good. What will you do?

    It is looking more and more likely that we can root, but with locked bootloaders and the Knox trip we cannot go back. I from my understanding cannot see a way around this. I was just wondering when 4.4 (Kit - Kat) surfaces would you still root and to hell with it. I probably will, but that...

    Hi, off on holiday to Orlando on Wednesday for a fortnight (YAY !) I have a couple of questions. Roaming and data charges are not a huge issue, I'll pay and use both. My question is has any one any idea what network my Vodafone UK contract SIM will connect to in Florida ? And will I be able...

    My SGSII - I'll test anything on it!

    After sitting wrapped up waiting to be loved by someone else. I've decided to do just about anything to it rooting wise, running scripts, testing ROMs, dual booting you name it. I won't kill it on purpose by doing something insane like over clocking to the nth degree to see what happens...

    Camera FCing

    My camera opens OK, go to take a picture it momentarily freezes then FCs with the usual "helpful" "Unfortunately Camera has stopped". In Gallery the pictures have the "broken" icon and obviously will not open. Clearing it's data in Application manager seems to have sorted it. It started after...
