I've been carefully following this thread and I'm still wondering:

[Q] Does the nandroid restore work yet on SM-N9005?

I flashed the build 1011 for N900S and confirmed this build doesn't need doing restorecon after restoring backup like 1010.

I'll test every new build not only for my variant but also for other people looking for this thread :D

Hi guys!

A couple of "stupid" questions (just to be on the safe side):
1. Is the latest version (1011) the one to grab if I want to root my swedish stock SM-N9005?
2. Also, does flashing this mean a game of russian roulette in terms of bootloops or is is it safe as long as I follow the procedure right?

Hi Guys is CWM 6.0.4.4 now safe for N900T?:confused:No More BootLoops:confused:
+1

Should we update to this, or is this for testing?


EDIT - The reason I ask is there isn't a "stable" and/or "beta" download section in the OP. (Sorry for the noobish question if it is.)


EDIT 2 - Also I don't have the option for the Reacivation Lock. What do we do if we don't have it since the OP says: "Must let Reactivation Lock off first(Settings--General--security)."

Just wanted to tell that I successfully flashed CWM 6.0.4.4 (1011) and the CWM deodex Version of DjeMBeY's MJ1 Rom. No bootloops, no problems at all.
Made backup using CWM 6.0.4.4 but no restore yet.

Look under general/security

EDIT: Thanks @Chenglu I can confirm the latest version 1011 for N9005 backup & restore working for me

that isnt exactly a new thing and it isnt a "issue".. its been like that on almost every Sammy phone i have used.. if you are on the stock rom and flash a custom recovery after a reboot the recovery will be reverted to stock.. you have to delete/rename 2 files to make sure that the custom recovery stick

/system/recovery-from-boot.p*
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh


PS- btw if anyone is still worried restoring backups works fine on the latest recovery

any suggestions or instructions on how to do this?

Go to menu System settings then in the search field write reactivation and the phone find it for you(it is disabled by default). you can do that with any setting you are looking for, it is like windows 7 search.

I don't have it I guess. I did that, and it says "No results found", so I went ahead and installed 6.0.4.4, booted into recovery, did a back up, and when I went to reboot I still get the fix root message. I mean when you select Reboot system, and then the next screen shows, and there are about six rows of "NO", then one "YES - Fix Root su/system/ux/bin" or something like that, and then two more "NO"s. Should I select to fix root? I selected "NO", and then I ran Root checker after it rebooted, and it passed with correct root access.

I'm thinking the 900T is different. I didn't have it before I started with a completely stock phone, and I still don't have it after ODIN and installing SU. I guess that's OK since lonelyw said it's off by default, and the OP says to make sure it's off before starting. My only worry is the "YES - Fix root" thing when I'm in recovery. Should I fix it or not? :confused:

Look on the Web to really get an idea of what it is and check it out http://sammyhub.com/2013/10/10/galaxy-note-3-reactivation-lock/
with what I read and understand if it was activated you wouldn't have to basically have to sign back into samsung account so what I am going to be on the safe side is remove my Samsung account all together cause u have to be signed in to have it working so pressing yes to fix root shouldn't be a problem at all
