Many people know this but for those of you wondering why i am creating this guide let me tell you, if you flash a N9005 rom on a different variant it WILL flash BUT it will also wipe the internal sdcard and also some things(BT/NFC/WiFi) WON'T work. So i am making this guide to help users flash the N9005 roms and be able to use everything and also not wipe the internal sdcard.
NOTE- THIS IS ONLY FOR THE N900T & N900W8, DO NOT TRY THIS ON N900(EXYNOS) VARIANT!!
Requirments -
1. Either a N900T or N900W8
2. Computer
3. Notepad++
4. 7Zip
Instructions -
1. Download the N9005 rom that you want to flash.
2. Open the rom using a ZIP manager. DON'T unpack it.
3. Now you need to edit the updater script, which can be found in
3. Using 7zip open the updater script in Notepad++
4. You need to delete this command-
5. Close and save the updater script after deleting that command.
6. Now your rom is ready to be flashed.
7. But you will need a kernel specific for your variant(many people have reported N9005 stock works fine but better safe than sorry) & the BT/NFC/WiFi fix
8. Now move those 3 files to your phone and then flash in this order -
ROM > Kernel > Fix
NOTE - If the rom you flashed has an option to reboot after flashing just the rom, UNSELECT it. You MUST flash all 3 files and then reboot.
