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
Come Say Hello
Ask silly questions
Punch a kangaroo
Remember Google is watching...no wait that's my next door neighbour. Anyways, peace.

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.

ps: Vega download AP ~ 2gb Firmware + 65mb CSC, my internet is sucks ~3mb, this concern me what if i had bad download i did asked for MD5 number to check but OP still not provide so NO go Vega rooting, just IMOH.

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?

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Dual Sim Thread - Note 3 n9002

Ok, since the old thread was plagued with paid roms, and it got archived unfortunately, I'm creating a new thread. Let's keep this healthy and clean so the information we post here wont get removed and will help more people in the long run shall we?
Update: May 3, 2014 - Added fix for Caller ID issue!
Update: May 1, 2014 - Added instructions to turn off Google Account Manager after setting up a Google Account
Update: April 9, 2014 - Added instructions to install super su after flashing new firmware and rooting.
Update: Feb 17, 2014 - Added instructions to turn off Google Bookmarks Sync after setting up a Google Account
Useful links:
How to Install/Flash Google Apps on Galaxy Note 3 N9002:
http://marrkdaviid.com/2013/10/install-google-play-on-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3-n9002/#.UsRALJYYYuo
** Please note that if you are using windows 7 to root the device using cf autoroot as instructed in the link above, you will encounter an error halfway thru the flashing process. You need to run odin 1.85 as windows xp to remedy this.
** Please note that after rooting and flashing google apps thru cwm, you will still have root access but the super su app may get lost. If that happens, please install super su from the google play store and everything will be back to normal. - thanks bigstuart for pointing that out
To fix the gapps error we see everytime we turn on the sync shortcut from the pulldown notification bar:
After setting up your google account, go to the settings menu and turn off the google bookmarks sync app. This will fix the google services has stopped error message.
To fix the google account dropping out (having to set up your google account again) turn off the google account manager app from the settings menu. Three users have confirmed this has fixed the issue.
BigStuart was able to finally find a way to fix our caller ID issue. Here's how to get it done:
Edit /system/csc/others.xml
change
Code:
<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>11</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>
to
Code:
<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>-1</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>
and add the following line:
Code:
<CscFeature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim>TRUE</CscFeature_Contact_EnableDynCallerIdMatchingDigitWithAutoSim>
I added that line at the end of the file, before the closing </SamsungMobileFeature> tag.
Then reboot the phone and test caller ID
Lastly, enjoy your dual sim flagship device

Perfect Phone with Dual SIM N9002
A Top Phone from China
Has only Chinese and English Language inside at delivery
comes without Google Playstore and more we miss
- first Root the Phone
- After install a custom Rom , voila :fingers-crossed:
The Best Phone now, without any Problem
I could Help ? Say Thanks

n9002
thanks for making a new thread... am really interested in the n9002 but having second thoughts that i have to root it and it will have no samsung warranty. can i ask those who are using it now... (will use it if ever in the philippines)
1. once rooted and google play install do one need to root again if you hard reset your unit?
2. does rooting trip knox?
3. is there much chinese bloatware that you cannot delete?
4. problems encountered the unit being released only in china?

Am in philippines, note 3 dual sim. Without root when i tried install google play knox is tripped. I rooted and running google full service now. Excellent phone buy it

Good thinking on this Thread. The archived thread had some links to removing bloatware and dealing with issues like changing CSC. Wish they didn't delete it. Now we have to re-search and save them all over again.

1. once rooted and google play install do one need to root again if you hard reset your unit?
Shouldn't. I have rooted using RDLV and have reset w/o loosing root.
2. does rooting trip knox?
It did on mine. But there seems to be some who have done it without tripping Knox. Check the forum.
3. is there much chinese bloatware that you cannot delete?
Once you root you can remove almost everything. Search the forum for a list of prog you can safely delete.
4. problems encountered the unit being released only in china?
None really. You can add Google apps, ie Play, Mail, Hangouts, Calendar. If you change the CSC settings, you will be able to set your default search, calender, etc. But read up on how to do that first, you need to back up as it will cause a reboot and loss of data.

Who gives a crap about knox anyway? This is a phone from China, if you will import it to another country, it will not have local warranty. You are not gonna send it to China if ever you need it repaired right? So go ahead and root, flash google apps, and remove all those chinese crapwares.
Im driving right now, but if needed still, i will post a link for a guide on how to do the basics in turning the n9002 to something as close as possible to n9005.

What, the last one got archived!? It was a bit long but got me off to a start and the RIP made it even better. Anyway, I best not mention that.
Well I have checked back because today I just added my 2nd sim. That's 1 Unicom, and 1 China Mobile (some westerners do live in China). It's working and the beauty is: Unicom's data seems good, but China Mobile 's national and international call rates seem better.
I am still interested in getting the best out of my N9002. I am still having a few issues and it's hard to know if they are ROM based or other. Anyway, minor issues, this phone is the best I have owned.

What kind of issues are you getting? I am on stock (mk1) firmware, perhaps we can compare what were experiencing so we can determine if its rom related or not.

Guys i also installed xposes framework and now my gmail and chrome beta is tablet mode cool. Remember is theee are gapps error it usually means the app u running must be uninstalled and reinstall as it could have the old xaxhe prior to installing google.

Fellow dual sim note 3 users, now that samsung's 4.4 update is right around the corner, i am starting to look around how we can get the 4.4 update working on our phones.
Im thinking once samsung releases the 4.4 firmware, it will be on sammobile for sure. I will download and flash it on my phone. Naturally, i will lose root, and google apps. I will have to root and flash google apps again. Question is, where are we going to get the 4.4 gapps package? I found this site and it also contains the 4.3 gapps that was listed in mark daviid's method:

Great idea. What is your current setup on your phone? I am on ZNUDMK1 Rom ZNUDMJ6 Baseband, rooted using RDLV, 4.3, Gapps installed, but I hear that the new ROM's have made it impossible to root for now.
Will it be worth while to do the 4.4 update?

Could someone miraclously discover how to enable lte? Maybe possible?

Im on mk1 rom and mj6 baseband too. I rooted using cf autoroot and flashed gapps 4.3 thru odin. Yes, its impossible to root the newer roms now without tripping knox. Cf autoroot still works but it trips knox - which i couldnt care less about anyway.
I will definitely upgrade to 4.4. I think the android runtime is really something to look forward to.

SM-G920V need to be rooted.

My question is simple, I was researching a lot, in here and google, and I find out that several persons says that this specific model can be rooted tripping knox.
we just need to root this phone, we don't care about warranty or anything, is there a way to rooted?
baseband version is
G920VVRU4BOK7
5.1.1
I saw somebody says there is a way to return to an old android version modifying the tar file.
as I said, we just need the phone rooted, we don't care about warranty or knox.
Thanks everybody for helping us.

There's no way with your build number the last build that could be rooted was oe2.

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

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!

Root for Canadian S8+ SM-G955W variants (Working Root Method)

So there's quite a bite of confusion for the canadian SM-G955W variant . Was wondering if anyone can clear some stuff up for me.
Is there a Root method, for the SM-G955W S8+ ... ??
and can u link it if there is...
None of the CF Auto root **** seems to be working . any info would help.
sorry for being a noob...
*UPDATE* , ok so , Threw some research on here and on youtube i have managed to Root the s8+ sm-g955w canadian Rogers variant (rwc)
For all My fellow Canadians , follow this video to a T and it will be easy. ->
Also, Head over to sam mobile. i have linked the SM-G955W S8+ firmware for u , This is your back up , just to be safe, (nothing happend to me all i needed from this firmware package was the CSC an the systme image from the AP file) - >
[url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955W/[/URL]
Be sure to Follow EVERYTHING this guy does, Honestly took me 2 hours , to pause every 30 seconds to just make sure over an over that everything was correct, So , with that said, If i need to show proof on my phone that this works here yah go
Root proof SM-G955W canadian variant https://imgur.com/gallery/Tgz4o
Admins please lemme kno if im not supposed to link anything i.e. youtube videos, please delete it, i apologize ahead of time,
with that said, Theres no more confusion , the SM-G955U root method works for SM-G955W (ROGERS)(RWC) carriers, havent tried with bell or not even sure if it matters tbh, .
Cons so far :
1.The phone will not show charging nor charge when it reaches 80 % battery life, (SMALL ISSUE TO ME)
2.And im not sure if the CSC file is whats making my bixby Fudge up. But im going to try to flash the CSC file from (XAC) variant from sammobile. an see if that fixes it, or if someone knows that Bixby is done when you root , please comment so i can include that in the cons, lol
I tried messin around a little. After a few apps. One of them read this
Root https://imgur.com/gallery/ScXsQ
Im going to assume this is the reason bixby wont work either. ??
Thanks XDA staff an devs, for all the support an help when i asked. Fu*kin bangin job on this community

Check this. It is not autoroot and takes some work. A lot of people have issues. Be careful and follow the directions.

im not 100 percent about carriers , but the model of the phone is what matters just before you start the rooting process head over to sammobile, an make sure they have the TELUS variant, u need to match your radios, ect. youll see in the video, theres, a files you need to extract an flash to the phone with flashfire, thats the file you need for your carrier or else youll be stuck with a us variant an if that happens i think you may get hit with roaming charges , but other than the carrier bro, im positive u can do this same root method if sammobile has your correct files, btw, u may wanna start the sammobile downloads an hour before u start the root, lol , i made the mistake an the free download speed for sammobile is no more than 15mbps so even with my 1000 mbsp "gigabyte speeds" with rogers it took almost 2 hours, lol gl bro, an enjoy.. p.s folllllow the instuctions to a t bro, pause the video as much as u need, u dont want a paper weight,

Before I root Rogers S8+, has anyone fixed this 80% battery charge and Bixby
I have yet to find anything on the web Google or YouTube on my situation. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus SM G955W and I keep getting the update pop up for Oreo. I do not want to upgrade as I'm fine with nougat. I made sure before all of this in developer mode auto updates was off. One day the pop-up came up and I accidentally pressed the update button. I quickly paused it and it's at 2% but it keeps popping up to keep downloading. I have backed up my full phone but I'm looking to find out how to backup the OS so I don't have to use a computer.
I don't what to update at all.
There must be a way to delete or hide this notification.

No fix for the battery yet. As its a Samsung image file. So not sure when or how it will be patched.
Also Bixby is still not working. (I fu*kin hate Bixby) use ok Google lol.
Other than that. Once you root. You will not receive update notifications at all to update phone.

Sampwnd or samfail are the only 2 methods for snapdragon.

OK thanks. That's too bad north America didn't get the other variant. The root method is system root Might not end up rooting

i have a g950w bell variant ad ive been on Oreo beta1 g950u and going back to g950u 7.0 with root
ive converted from g950w to g950u and back and not tripped knox so far

I've used this method and worked fine with my g955w phone. Carriers don't matter, just the model of the device

which files do you put in oden? i keep getting fails

Read the thread on how to do it. If it's beyond you then don't do it

Just flash this instead:

Not being able to use most other roms does suck but people with exynos have asked for pcr so it seems to do ok :good:

It is a very common but completely incorrect notion that rooting will trip Knox. Root has nothing to do with phones turning 0x1. The only thing that can make that happen is flashing and booting an unsigned kernel. Since that is impossible on locked bl it's impossible to trip

I found that my issue was my computer only has usb 3.0. When I ran it through usb 2.0 it worked.
