Rooting noob needs advice

Sirnick2 · Jan 7, 2014

Hi guys, new to the forum and a total noob rooting and custom roms etc. I have a note 3 SM-N9005 which i have just "successfully?" rooted with supersu flashed with clockwork recovery and am now running CM11 I installed the google apps package and it all seems to be running well apart from a few glitches. Does all this sound right? And how does it update? I'm aware that I am not running an official CM version but when that becomes available how do i get that running? Do I have to go through the process again?
Thanks in advance for the first of many stupid questions

You said you have SM-N9005 but the signature is SM-N9000. What is the problem.

Cyanogen build is reporting wrong is all. Nothing to worry about. Build.prop just needs changed... Now to answer the question. .

If you stay on the base you're on now you can dirty flash new builds over. But if you are changing cm from different devs you'll need to wipe and install from scratch.

You're better wiping and installing from scratch as it tends to solve 99% of issues.

Thanks for the response! I followed the instructions outlined in this post

ibtimes.co.uk/android-4-4-2-kitkat-arrives-galaxy-note-3-via-cyanogenmod-11-rom-how-install-1431052

I used the rom in the download link and used the programs they suggested to install it. What is the version of the rom they have listed?

This build is the one that Ibtimes listed

EDIT: Also for builds with some additional features, there is temasek's build, ProBAM and BAM - but obviously it is up to you which one you choose and to which one you prefer. - Pong's build was the first main build here at xda, and he's been doing daily updates to fix errors, a lot of people seem happy and content with that build right now, so unless you are looking for something different, you could stay on it without any major issues

Thanks. I had a look at PROBAM and flashed that on. I really like it. The only problem I had was with instruction number 7 select recommended kernel for first install.
What does this mean? The ROM is working fine and I couldn't find an option on cwm recovery. Lol I can just imagine the heads shaking reading this

Thanks

Can't select a kernel on installing that. Well not that I seen anyway, it includes a custom CM kernel - wouldn't worry about it too much.

But when custom kernels for CM do come round, flashing is pretty simple, just boot into recovery and flash the .zip. -- just be careful setting voltages etc cause what works for others won't work for you sometimes and may bootloop your phone. (it can be fixed) - As for the shaking heads, I wouldn't worry too much, we all started somewhere

Also since I've started playing around with rooting and flashing my phone displays the wrong model number SM-N9000 instead of 9005. What is up with that?

Go to Play Store, search for an app Check Fus, run it and post the screenshot. I will tell you what model do you have

Or use my app to check for the Model: Phone INFO

Your phone is likely black N9005 for Australia XSA region

May be something wrong with your build.prop file. Check it and modify as need
