Galaxy Note 3 Aussie (Australian) Users Thread

Hey folks
Just wanted a thread for us Aussies. Had one for the Galaxy and GS4 and it held a plethora of great info regarding modems, carrier specific update info, root tips in case you miss them elsewhere etc etc... A thread to even help you keep track of other interesting threads on the Note 3 in case you miss them too.
Since I couldn't find one already I decided to create a new thread for us down under. I just bought mine today. I called Telstra 2 days ago and the operator said it might be a week or so before release. Was in shops today and it had been released yesterday. Interesting the lack of communication. Anyway here is a screenshot of my device info:
See below..
Other useful info:
Current Root Methods
- Chainfire (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cf-auto-root-for-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3/) - easy way. Trips Knox Warranty Status. For now - can use custom recoveries, custom roms etc.
- Root de la Vega (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479952) - Bit more effort and time but still easy. Doesn't trip Knox Warranty Status. For now - can only use stock firmware. Apparently with the new MJ3 firmware - you will need to use the next root option as using Vega root method on MJ3 firmware will still trip Knox Warranty status.
- Kingoapp (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499546) - Apparently MJ3 firmware and Vega root method trips Knox Warranty Status. Use this root method instead and be wary of future firmwares and current root methods. Read and wait before attempting root.
EDIT: Seems like the link was removed due to breach of GPL - be careful
Other good threads/xda pages:
- Some game suggestions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466414&nocache=1)
- Check to see if your Note 3 has multitouch problems (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472084)
- Fix issues with Titanium Backup restore on Note 3 (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fix-for-titanium-backup-issues-on-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3/)
- Removing region lock if you bought your phone from the States or elsewhere that has region lock (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/chainfire-removes-the-galaxy-note-3-n9005-region-lock/ )...ahh good ol Chainfire.
If you have any other useful info pertinent to Aussie users then feel free to post here or at least say hello. Questions can possibly be added here also. Anyone else notice how huge this thing is? (that's what she said) But on a serious note I might need larger hands to answer calls on this phone. Loving it so far though :laugh:
So in summary:
Aussie Thread

Got sick of the aussie firmware - camera shutter, gallery auto rotate loss etc...
Now flashed omega rom and very happy - eagerly awaiting omnirom/cyanogen to flash.
Hows the battery life going for you? Mine seems to be on par with my note 2.

With Telstra as well? I only just charged the device maybe 10 minutes ago. I will let you know how battery life is with stock firmware. I like to play with stock settings with either carrier branded or custom rom for a few days before I go and see how close I can get to bricking my phone just to suck that last bit of battery life/performance out of it.....
Never had the Note 2 but do like the squared off edges as opposed to rounded in GS3/GS4/Note 2 IIRC. I'm probably one of the few...
What was the issue with camera shutter?

You cant silence it.
also you cant change the icons on the dock bar :-|
Flash another regions ROM (this doesn't need root and wont trigger knox) and you'll get a much better experience.

Ah yes...silence is good.
Anyone else Root their phone yet? I assume you have @Riimezv since you installed Omega?

Hey Guys,
I have made the big leap after 4 years with ios to the note 3 and tbh a bit confused with it all haha!
I bought it outright from JB on the month 2 month telstra contract pretty happy.
With the link OP put, out of those 2 mods which would be the ideal one to root with or is it fine to root more then one?
Cheers

Hello, Vega and Chainfire rooting, i will chose Chanfire (using Vega rooting = no custom Recovery + Custom Rom for Knox not tripping F**k Samsung) but i have to play with phone few more days, purchased outright in Samsung store Highpoint.
-S-View case was asked for $90 in Samsung store vs Ebay $49, the most expensive case yet for Mobile Phone.

I believe either method will work since I was about to attempt both after rooting and then attempting to unroot and try the second method...
I would be more inclined to try Chainfire's method first. Since it is a small download package. And you have all files in a nice handy zip file.
With the Vegas root method make sure you call this number in your phone dialer: *#1234# and download the AP & CSC files on the Vegas thread to the ones you see on your phone screen...There are 3 files you need totalling about 2GB IIRC. So a decent sized download and something to consider if on a limited internet plan...
I'm sure others who have rooted their phones already will be sure to jump in, hopefully.

Chainfire = Knox tripping 0x 1 = warranty void, + any custom recovery + Custom Rom.
Vega = Knox will not tripping BUT must stay on Stock Rom and Stock Recovery for Knox remain as 0 x0
-If you concern about warranty and use Vega, If you sick of stock rom and dont care about warranty use Chainfire easier.

Here's an old post Chainfire made about Knox: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/LCfF5A9fsTG
Vega's method at least gives you root to utilise apps such as Titanium Backup and what have you so you can remove any pesky carrier apps but be careful you don't stuff anything up..So what firmware backup utilities do you have access to when using Vegas ROOT and no custom recovery? Odin. What else?

-There are NO after market Case have S-View (Auto Wake on/off) function at this time. I bought few from some different Ebay Aussie Seller but None of Them are Working, Case look identical and Good quality but not Functional as Official Samsung S-view Case.

Yes indeed :good:
If you are worried about warranty as @maidangisme suggest and wish to have root (so you can install root required apps etc) use the Vegas method but you will flash the stock ROM that the method requires you to download (remember the 2GB file I mentioned).
So in short, yes either of those root 'methods' will let you install root required mods/apps. Check to see if you have any multitouch issues as per 1st post before you do anything to void warranty.

double post somehow...

Does flash mean it will wipe/delete the ROM, then meaning to reinstall it back with the same rom, (that 2gb file)?
Im trying to watch youtube videos to try and get as much understanding as i can but cant find any that explain basic terms/meanings lol

In a very simplistic way, yes. It will overwrite the current (almost identical) ROM you currently have with a similar ROM minus all your carrier apps etc...basically a fresh start/factory reset minus annoying apps. And make sure you follow the steps exactly as stated (remember to flash the CSC file also).
Obviously you will need a PC and Samsung drivers for all this to work. These drivers should install automatically when the device is plugged in the PC or you may need to install Samsung KIES (which comes with the drivers) or just download setup for drivers here...This is so Odin can communicate with the Note 3 and flash all the relevant files required for rooting.

I believe @senectus meant that you can flash another region's rom by simply following the steps on the Vegas Root Method but skipping the final few steps to attain root, which is a waste since you can always undo ROOT using the SuperSU root app.

Galaxy Note 10.1 - GT-N8013 - Newbie

Hi folks, I hope I am in the correct forum ?
Well i am a experienced Moto X user (rooted, boot-loader un blocked, etc.) and never bought a Tablet, but a friend brought me a new Note 10.1 to Argentine and i gladly bought it. So here are some questions.
1. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 only Wifi, not the 2014 edition?
2. Second my OS is 4.12, is there any official KitKat 4.4.2 available? At least i do not get a OS update when i check.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?
4. Rooting makes sense on a Tablet?
One more.
When trying to launch Google+ i get the message that the software of my device is not actualized. Google+ closes and send me to the configuration to check OTA, but there is no.
Thanks and be patient as i am new to Samsung and tablets.

1. Yes
2. Kitkat is available in a some of countries, you will get update soon. But I recommend you to install official rom via odin, not from kies or system update
4. Yes, if you want to customise UI or delete ads. I think you know what root is it.
Sorry for my English

So is there a place where KitKat is awailable for download or hasn´t it be published yet? I have the 8013 (US Version),
Any clew why Google+ is not running on my 4.1.2?

If it's a GT-N8013, it's not a 2014 but a 2012 edition.

I don't know about each device/country but generally yes there is an official update available. If your tablet doesn't update automatically, the KitKat stock Roms are even linked somewhere in the Note 10.1 forum. sammobile.com also has them. You will probably need to use Odin to flash.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?

I'd recommend to check out gnabo.
4. Rooting makes sense on a Tablet?

Sure. No difference to a phone. It's more about Samsung Note devices. Rooting makes about as much sense as anywhere else but custom roms only make limited sense since most roms can't include the s-pen stuff. BTW google KNOX if you like your warranty.

I don't know about 8013, but for 8000 is publishing now on over the world. I hope 8013 will have an update soon.
You can delete G+ and download it again. Maybe error will disappear. Stock apps is so stupid.

Thanks,
yes I saw the updates for N8000 all over the place. I hope also that N8013 will get those soon. I saw that some people flashed successful the 8000 UK update on an 8013. Maybe an alternative if 8013 won't get an update to 4.4.x. Any info regarding that?
Ok,so some more questions.
1. What is the recommended way to root the device with 4.1.2?
2. For flashing Roms Odin Pro for Android? I like flashing Roms from inside the device instead via PC, so I would buy Odin Pro.
3. TWRP Recovery is working fine with the device? I would love to use it as I also have it on my Moto X.
Ok, that's all for now, and thanks for helping.

Clarification on what you have and options
To clearify what you have.
you have the us version of the 2012 wifi tablet same as n8010. The 8010 roms with Boot-loader removed will Run on your device. Your play store issue can prob be solved by going into settings and location. fix to your location But i am unsure exactly. or do a Factory reset by going to
settings backup and restore. i think is where its at.
This Device Same as i have has been left behind by Samsung. it has not been upgraded above the version you have. Samsung WILL NOT UPGRADE IT OR they would have by now.
Two best options in my Opinion.
To upgrade and Stay totally stock You can use his Rom. Or Download the Rom for n8010 for your country from Sammobile and follow instructions on the like below to remove boot-loader.

Its a samsung touchwiz rom. So you only loose the Apps he removed from the rom. But you can put them back in the link on second post on his thread. I Been using the rom for over a month. I get a bit less battery life But still does Great for a tablet i have been using everyday for two years.
I MUST HAVE Fully working s-pen snote and i use Office suite 8. I use my tablet for onside Estimates and Billing. as well as Contracts . Get the Customers hooked before they have a chance to think twice.. Hehe . but seriously It works good for me.

Ok,
so as i have a long weekend here in Argentine , Monday is holiday - lucky me - I will root my device, flash a Recovery and flash Gnabo
Last question for now..jajaja
What is the suggested root method and Custom recovery for the device (stock 4.1.2) , to flash the Rom later?

[Q] Note Edge SM-N915G

Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.

My advice is keep wait for more developers . Same here "G"

Same boat as you both , 915G waiting for some good custom rom developers to release their amazing roms

Me too. 915G stock firmware + root + CWM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993. Now can not pair with my Moto 360 anymore as bluetooth problem. SuperSU takes very slow to response. Installing any softwares on Play Store or apk files are the same, it took 5-10 minutes to complete installed. Boring... Waiting to a custom rom from developer to save me. Now, it is a nightmare...

Hello. I bought a Samsung N915G from Saudi Arabia and has not in setting European languages (German, Roamania ...). Please give me details how to proceed to install another version from European soft (N915FY) on my phone. Thank you in advance.

As we have no Rom's to flash, I decided to try and flash the most recent no carrier firmware from SamMobile. (N915GXXU1ANK4)
I was on the Original Vodafone firmware and I have to say the non-bloat version is much snappier. I needed to factory reset and set everything up again. However now I feel like the phone is performing more like it should with theses specifications.

Think the PB6 is as close to stock as you will get, The G930T I have came out with PB6, could not get a decent download or only links to the virus and scam downloads.
Managed to get a google drive copy of the PB8 to get rid of the garbage PC8 firmware.
Oh I tried about 12 times to download the G930T PB8 from sammobile and always got defective downloads. Their servers was too unstable to do one complete download, Both fast and slow ended up at a ridiculous 365kb/s on a 100MB/s 20MB/s fiber optic line.
the other copy I got only had a problematic HOME CSC that kept on crashing Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7

What's your country? The files mentioned in the links contain multi-CSC. Even though it says a certain country it's mainly for all countries in the Indian subcontinent.
Good thing with these roms are they've minimal addon stuff. Mine just came with some Samsung stuff and Microsoft stuff.

ps. out of the topic > < a bit ..................not sure root vs non-root the driver kernal of sumsung itself will b different? the emulator ppsspp seem like not working on all series s7 and edge TTvTT even some old app like games FF tactic was stop for no reason like ppsspp and some app cam that I use..........somes say it has things to do with jit cause by sumsung mess something up ..............TT^TT

Glad to hear you managed to sort things out.
I used to be someone who flashed roms and was fiddling with stuff on the phones some time ago. But now I don't have the time or patience to do those things. And anyways the current TW & S7 doesn't give me a reason to go for a custom ROM.
I might head that way in a year or two, but at the moment only trying to use it as stock.

S Health on a Rooted Device

Hi there,
got one question for you. I hope I find some help here.
I rooted my G930F few months ago and now just updated to android 7 nougat beta. Now my device is not rooted.
The problem is, that when I try to launch S Health app, the app says something about that KNOX is tripped. Aaaand I'm not able to launch it. It has something to do with SHealth's connection with knox, implemented in version 5.0 (for security reasons).
The app itself is in my opinion a crappy piece of software on itself, but it's the only way to see all data from my Gear s3 watch on my phone...
Any ideas how to make it work? Any way to set a fake status for knox?
Thanx so much for any advice...

I have the same problem

There is no way to untrip the Knox so unless you find a modified S Health app (don't know if there is one or it's even possible), you are out of luck.

Yet with 6.0.1 in root never had a problem! The problem has appeared with Android 7.

The problem has appeared with the new version of S Health as OP himself or herself states. So except for downgrade or installing old version of SHealth I don't see a way to use it. Can probably be somehow hacked but who knows how

I tried to go back to old version that does not work either!

So Samsung is making our phone unusable once rooted if we want to use Gear watches or all the features of the phone? Very sad and a very bad move from Samsung.
I am rooted with Android 6 and can still use it, I will consider strongly about this before moving to Android 7 then... Thanks for the head's up.

Maybe install a rom that doesn't contain knox stuff?

so any solution ???

Try previous versions of S Health?

No previous version works. Only if we go back to MM s health works again
WTF happens?

Solution HERE

Thanks!

It worked! Thanks!
