[GUIDE][HOW TO FLASH LOLLIPOP | SM-N9005][5.0 | N9005XXUGBNL8][Easy]

[abelrhd]

You can ask the developers of S4 LTE-A for that.



I'll post a guide about PIT later on sometime. It'll have things like "What is PIT?" "How to Backup?" "How to restore?" "How to revive soft bricked Note 3's" and all. Do remind me after the New Year and I'll make one.



WiFi issue might be solved by flashing this. Thanks @Sewrizer. I personally did not test it and also discourages flashing it as Lollipop includes many new changes to WiFi drivers while the zip file is meant for KitKat. EDIT: Instead of flashing that file. Try this. And also try to move the Q/A's there. Let's try to keep this an organized thread.




Please read the OP. ThankYou.



Can you elaborate more on why it isn't working with your Note 3? I've tried the same on my phone and I didn't have a single issue.



It will not. But you can ask your developers of ATT version to create ports or some themes to look-a-like until the official leak pops up.



Have you set up your ADB properly? Also do you have Samsung USB drivers installed?



I personally did not try but many have said that you can successfully downgrade to KitKat after flashing Lollipop into their devices. Please do confirm with other members on the forum.

Here:

I had posted before. YES u can downgrade to KK even after u updated your baseband/bootloader

I updated without PIT and BOOTLOADER and downgrade without loosing or changing enything!
But now I enjoy with Lollipop!!!!!

I don't have problems at all with WiFi perhaps because I flashed also bootloader and tick bootloader in odin.

I don't test it myself but I already read some testimonials that can be done.
On the other hand I don't see why you should after flashing back to 4.4.2.
I was afraid of messing some how my note but after trying I don't pretend to downgrade.

There's no silent mode in Android L. There's priority notifications and stuff. Take a look at them! They're way better than silent mode!

It's been a long time since I flashed a stock rom

I was on Temasek unofficial CM12 rom and though it is very stable I wanted to flash an official Lollipop Sammy rom.
So far it's not bad but a couple of hours of testing and the main bugs I noticed are :
1) Camera crashing and rebooting phone
2) Video playback can be choppy and even unresponsive
3)and of course the resetting of Wifi passwords with every reboot

Battery is awesome

Confused on how to install Android 5.0 Lollipop? Fear not. This guide have you covered ​

So to start this. We need some things.

• PC Odin [3.09]
• Lollipop Leak
• A Backup of your PIT File incase something goes wrong
• and lastly a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 THIS GUIDE IS FOR SM-N9005

Now that we have everything we need. Let's start.
THIS WILL ERASE/FACTORY RESET YOUR NOTE 3. So take a backup of your important stuff

Extract the ROM zip file.

Once extracted. Open Odin and set up Odin as follows.
FOR 32GB Model

FOR 16GB Model

Now click START
Once done reboot your device. 16GB users will have to goto Recovery and factory reset

First boot will take longer than expected. Leave it alone for about 10 minutes.

And after some time. You will be greeted with the glorious Android 5.0 screen.

Would there be an official update for the Galaxy Grand 2 Dous?

[mefistoooo]

I ask second time, how to root this rom?

i think you meant flashing it right? If so then press volume down+power+home button to enter download mode. Then connect your phone to your pc and make sure at to follow his instructions carefully. It should work.
