[mithun46]

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

So to start this. We need some things.

• Odin
• 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.

Video Guide. ​

Before flashing we need to make a backup of your PIT file just incase something goes wrong. And to do so open Command Prompt and execute the following commands.

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N9005.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=4244"
adb pull /sdcard/My-N9005.pit

Now that will create a backup of your PIT File as a failsafe. :fingers-crossed:

Well. Um. I thought you could post guides on flashing leaks here.

Nops. This is a official leak.
It won't trip your knox.

Hi @mithun46 , can you please also post the file to fix a wifi issues?

 

[mithun46]

Hi @mithun46 , can you please also post the file to fix a wifi issues?

I've never experienced any issues with WiFi personally. Can you explain more about your issues with it?

 

[breakingstorm]

Also port for other devices?

Hey,
are there any chances or possibilities for porting this rom also to another device? E.g. the S4 LTE-A, which has "exactly" the same hardware as the note 3 i guess, it also has the snapdragon 800, so i think it might not be too difficult to port this rom also for this device, someone who can tell me something about that?:good::victory:

The fact the Xposed won't work with Android v5.0 at present makes a no go for me. I can't see how I can do without about 6 or 7 key Xposed modules. It's a real shame

 

[Raeigis]

So glad to see this Is this leak for the international Note3 ? Does it incluede French language ? Did you see any bug on this leak ? And last question, if the flash goes wrong, how can I use the backup PIT ?

Many thanks for sharing this leak !

I install it on my N9005 it include french and Italian and many other i dont flash bootloader and pit file for now everything it's ok only the WiFi issue!!!i must to put the key wen I restart or close the wireless.

Sorry if is a dumb question, is the first time i try to flash a rom for this device, i have a n900w8 and odin shows me repartitio error, even with repartition unchecked, is ther any chance to install this rom on the n900w8? i think it has the same hardware as the n9005.

Thanks in advance

 

[mjaiswal]

its not working for note 3 sm n9005

 

[Raeigis]

No, I don't think you can flash it, this isn't the same model event if the hardware look same. Maybe a little difference who made ****. But I don't think you can. I'll try it later ^^

A question, @Sewrizer, the wifi patch you give us, we have to pass with a custom recovery ? I don't want to pass my Knox to 1 ^^ I think i'll wait if their is a wifi bug, my wifi code is too long to enter it each time wifi reboot...

This willnot work for the ATT version will it?

Not Working

Before flashing we need to make a backup of your PIT file just incase something goes wrong. And to do so open Command Prompt and execute the following commands.

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N9005.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=4244"
adb pull /sdcard/My-N9005.pit

Now that will create a backup of your PIT File as a failsafe. :fingers-crossed:

I tried the above commands on my phone but get - error device not found ??
My phone is the SM-N9005 so why won't the back up work. I do have a full CWM backup will that do ?

Downgrade

Quick question:

Can I downgrade to KK? I Want to try this FW but (surely) keeping KK because of Xposed compatibility.

Thanks!!

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

Many thanks for sharing this leak !

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.

THIS GUIDE IS FOR SM-N9005

Please read the OP. ThankYou.

its not working for note 3 sm n9005

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.

This willnot work for the ATT version will it?

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.

I tried the above commands on my phone but get - error device not found ??
My phone is the SM-N9005 so why won't the back up work. I do have a full CWM backup will that do ?

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

Quick question:

Can I downgrade to KK? I Want to try this FW but (surely) keeping KK because of Xposed compatibility.

Thanks!!

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.
