Installation instructions (ONLY FOR INTERNATIONAL N9005, User reported that if flashed on other gn3 variant the script will wipe internal sdcard) :


ONLY IF COMING FROM ANDROID 4.3

FIRST DO THIS, SKIP IF ALREADY DONE CLICK H E R E


So you need a 4.4.2 official firmware already installed, a working KITKAT recovery and ROOT to backup EFS (use chainfire root for KITKAT)

1- Untick reactivation lock in security settings
2- do a EFS backup from your KitKat firmware
3- check the MD5 of your downloaded X-Note zip
4- reboot recovery
5- wipe data (don't do other wipes)
6- install zip and choose the rom in your sd
7- follow aroma, reboot system.
8- leave the phone 5 minutes
9- look at your internal sd card, if you have a folder "0" (zero) cut and paste the content (xnote folder) outside the zero folder
10- use X-Note app the first time to enable/disable home button + traffic meter + status bar elements color
11- done.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

ONLY IF COMING FROM ANDROID 4.4.2 ROOTED:

Do ONLY the steps:
1 - 2(skip if you have) - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11

INSTRUCTIONS TO FLASH 4.4.2 OFFICIAL FIRMWARES (NOT THE LEAK) BEFORE UPGRADE TO X-NOTE Build 8.0 KitKat
credits @Andrewtst


Anyway I used odin v. 3.07, with only ticked autoreboot, the file tar.md5 must be loaded under PDA
After the steps below you need the CWM for KITKAT


Simple step to install Official Poland 4.4.2 KitKat ROM:
  • Download Official Poland Single file KitKat 4.4.2 ROM.
  • Download and install Odin3 v3.09
  • Extract once the downloaded KitKat ROM.
  • Open Odin and load the firmware at AP.
  • Tick Phone Bootloader Update. See screenshot.
  • Click start and wait until it finish.

11926001444_55ee0f4dc3_b_d.jpg


Q&A:
  • What to do if I forgot tick Phone Bootloader Update and now stuck at accessing recovery screen - Take out the battery to turn of the phone, boot back to download mode and reflash the ROM and remember tick Phone Bootloader Update.
  • Is Full Wipe Required? - No and I never do that, if ain't break don't Wipe. Only wipe the phone if phone act abnormal. I did like this since I own 1st Android phone - Google Nexus One.
  • Is official Poland KitKat ROM auto wipe your phone? - No.
  • Is leak Kitkat ROM auto wipe your phone? - Yes.
  • Can I downgrade to 4.3 ROM for N9005 - No.
  • Can I install CM11 base on 4.4 KitKat for N9005 - No as CM11 still under older bootloader.
  • Is flashing different countries ROM via Odin trip the Knox - No.
  • Is rooting in KitKat trip the Knox - Yes due to new bootloader.
  • Is this Poland KitKat support Hong Kong N9005 - No, Hong Kong N9005 is not friendly with others country N9005, cannot cross flashing.
  • What to do if I accidentally flash it under Hong Kong N9005 and soft brick now - The only solution now is flashing custom recovery (Knox trip due to custom recovery) for KitKat and later flash SweetROM v7 KitKat custom ROM.
  • Can I remain Knox 0x0 with root for KitKat - Yes if you still under old bootloader (No if you already at KitKat or bootloader at MJ7 or newer) and follow step here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49501057&postcount=389 or visit here for more in details step, 1st page post 9 - https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3099271

Efs backup and restore (RESTORE NOT TESTED)

simpliest method for efs backup (from device):

1. Download a terminal emulator from playstore
2. Open it and type: Su
3. Allow superuser permission when asked
4. Type this: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/storage/extsdcard/efs.img bs=4096
5. Check your external sd card, there is a efs.img file (14 mb), do some copy in a secure storage.

For restore:

1. You need your efs.img in your external sd card
2. Open terminal and type: Su
3. Type this: dd if=/storage/extsdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 bs=4096
4. Reboot

Hi OP. Just a theory for changing SELinux to permissive, try adding in init.d script "setenforce 0".

I did this in my kernel built from source but in init.rc instead of an init.d script and it worked however I lost wifi and I am new to kernel building so don't know how to fix it.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Kernel isn't build from source, zimage is intact only ramdisk modifications made by Angelom... (so wifi is ok)
In few time Angelom will release his Abyss kernel for N9005.
I've never compiled a kernel so I can't help you.
Send me a pm I will point you to Angelom for asking
Sorry for my bad English

No, N9005 (european model) as per title

You can flash N7105 ROMs on an SGH-I317 and reverse it, even when they said the ROM is N7105 only.

Unless the modem is not compatible I would say Fine.

But these two devices should and do have the exact same architecture, specs and everything so cross flashing should work, given the correct modem and such.

Hi, soloilmeglio,
It's a good news to hear you change to Note 3.
I always flashed your rom from Note 8. HaHa.. :good:

But It's a pitty that my note 3 is N900. :crying:

BTW, thank you for your effort.

But what about a non-European N9005? Is there different versions sold on different continents with the same model number? Or is it about the modem or something?

The only issue could be the region lock (because modem is not included) but chainfire released region lock away app....
However backup your efs folder and follow instructions... upload is at 60 % (aaarrgghh)

I see.
With the region lock, you can't pass the setup screen if you don't have a sim card from the appropriate region, right? So how do you use CF's app?..
Also - worst case scenario, you can't activate hence can't use the ROM, but that's a problem solved by re-flashing something else - the only risk is to lose a few minutes. Correct?

For chainfire app functioning ask in his thread (there is a video on how it works)
Yes ... flashing a firmware for your region will unlock your phone so no problems.
I didn't see chainfire video yet but I think that you can flash the rom without the Sim card, then install chainfire app... enable it and restart your phone with SIM. .. but watch the video for right informations

    Installation instructions (ONLY FOR INTERNATIONAL N9005, User reported that if flashed on other gn3 variant the script will wipe internal sdcard) :


    ONLY IF COMING FROM ANDROID 4.3

    FIRST DO THIS, SKIP IF ALREADY DONE CLICK H E R E


    So you need a 4.4.2 official firmware already installed, a working KITKAT recovery and ROOT to backup EFS (use chainfire root for KITKAT)

    1- Untick reactivation lock in security settings
    2- do a EFS backup from your KitKat firmware
    3- check the MD5 of your downloaded X-Note zip
    4- reboot recovery
    5- wipe data (don't do other wipes)
    6- install zip and choose the rom in your sd
    7- follow aroma, reboot system.
    8- leave the phone 5 minutes
    9- look at your internal sd card, if you have a folder "0" (zero) cut and paste the content (xnote folder) outside the zero folder
    10- use X-Note app the first time to enable/disable home button + traffic meter + status bar elements color
    11- done.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    ONLY IF COMING FROM ANDROID 4.4.2 ROOTED:

    Do ONLY the steps:
    1 - 2(skip if you have) - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11

    Q&A:

    • Is Full Wipe Required? - No and I never do that, if ain't break don't Wipe. Only wipe the phone if phone act abnormal. I did like this since I own 1st Android phone - Google Nexus One.

    • Is this Poland KitKat support Hong Kong N9005 - No, Hong Kong N9005 is not friendly with others country N9005, cannot cross flashing.
    • What to do if I accidentally flash it under Hong Kong N9005 and soft brick now - The only solution now is flashing custom recovery (Knox trip due to custom recovery) for KitKat and later flash SweetROM v7 KitKat custom ROM.

    Efs backup and restore (RESTORE NOT TESTED)

    simpliest method for efs backup (from device):

    1. Download a terminal emulator from playstore
    2. Open it and type: Su
    3. Allow superuser permission when asked
    4. Type this: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/storage/extsdcard/efs.img bs=4096
    5. Check your external sd card, there is a efs.img file (14 mb), do some copy in a secure storage.

    For restore:

    1. You need your efs.img in your external sd card
    2. Open terminal and type: Su
    3. Type this: dd if=/storage/extsdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 bs=4096
    4. Reboot
