[jesse542]

I managed to download the lollipop stock firmware for the Note 3 using Kies. Its file name comes in as N900VVRUEOB6_N900VVZWEOB6_N900VVRUEOB6_HOME.tar.md5.
I am uploading to Google Drive right now.

I ODIN the above firmware from 4.4.4, the result was PASS but after reboot the phone is stuck on initial Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Logo...
If anyone has succeeded in the installation then please share your experience...

Edit: Finally Succeeded...Just we need to remove the battery, boot the phone in Recovery mode and Factory reset the device....

I have downloaded the firmware zip file from sammobile which is around 1.53 GB....and uploaded in my Google Drive...

Here it is : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5QUDadhHYPVcTF5dE43QjA1UU0/view?usp=sharing

For Clean Installation please follow my thread:

Not yet, I think may be the first boot will take long time...so i was waiting since 20 min...I will try to Factory reset now...

Edit: Factory reset did the work...

I am not rooted. When I did both updates required for reaching lollipop, both times it was at the Verizon logo for a long time. Each time I thought something had gone wrong, but I just hung in there. So normally that part of it is slow.

The firmware from Sammobile is of size 1.5 GB because it is zipped...
Please upload the firmware (zipfile) after downloading, in your google drive and share the link with us....so that we dont have to download 2.4 GB file from the OP...

So... will it be possible for someone to root the update file? or does it check md5 before installing on the phone? Just not sure if i should upgrade from 4.4.2 or wait for a rooted 5 if its possible?

 

[jesse542]

Yeah that happened to me once too. Good thing you figured it out. ?

Please dont upload the unzipped firmware which is around 2.4 GB...

It will be better if you upload the zipped firmware which is around 1.5 GB....

So that we can save some time in downloading...

Anyone know how to pull the radio from this and make a flashable zip?

 

[galmoham]

Surely. First boot after flashing takes longer but it shouldn't be forever..

I moved my Note 3 from Verizon to Tmobile. Not rooted. Can I just put the OTA on SD card and it will install on restart? or do I have to go in to download mode?

THANKS!!!
