Flashing questions

[Manneman32]

I actually wanted to flash the leaked Lollipop for my new Note 3 but from what I can read it's not safe just yet... i'm not rooted and can't backup my PIT. Also I read a whole lot about wifi-bugs and so on.

But coming from S5 I really want a fresh look on my Note 3 so I thought I'd flash a custom ROM.

If I understand everything correct I have to do the following:

1: Flash custom recovery with ODIN
2: Flash custom ROM from recovery

I don't need to be rooted before I flash a custom recovery with ODIN, right?

I don't care about triggering Knox. I'll just flash the Stock Lollipop when it's available.

Have I got the procedure right?

Yes you are right.

Regarding to backing up the PIT file, it is not necessary to backup the PIT file from your device. You can get a PIT file from the similar device, i.e the device with the same model name and same CSC. You can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get your Model Name and CSC.

Allright, thanx!

Where do I find a PIT that matches my model?

First obtain your Model Name and CSC as I have said. Then search on Google, e.g. PIT file N9005 XME, where N9005 is Model Name, XME is CSC.

Ok! I think I´ll stick with 4.4.2 until the official Lollipop comes. Even if I succeed flashing Lollipop I don´t want to risk WiFi-problems and other bugs since I´m not rooted

May I ask where I can find Custom Recovery for Note 3 SM-N9005 32gb 4.4.2 XXUGNI4?

Best regards!

You can search for CWM or TWRP recovery...

To download correct recovery for your device, you will need Device Type and Product Name (e.g. hlte/hltexx or something like that). You can find it using the above mentioned Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

I must have done something wrong... Or am I missing something?

I used Odin 3.09 and started it as administrator. Everything connected fine and I selected the .tar-file (the correct one) and the procedure went ok, green across the board! The phone rebooted and still all OK. Shut of the phone and after 30 sec I booted to recovery but the stock one was still there...

Any ideas?

Edit: I found this... Do I dare to use it?

Sorry I have no idea as I'm currently on the stock recovery after upgrading to 4.4.2.

Try to google search for the solution...

I made it work. I flashed TWRP with ODIN again but I unticked AutoReboot. When the flash was done I pulled the battery and rebooted straight to recovery. Since I had the new ROM on my SD-card I could flash it straight away.

Problem solved!
