This includes about 2.5 GB of 3rd party games data ( mainly Gameloft stuffs) n 500MB of Sygic data

You use Cenglu CWM or the TWRP for your Nandroid..?
How's about the imei...can be backup without any issue..?

Thanks
*
Chenglu CWM. I don't think the IMEI is backup. For that run a separate program n can be found in XDA

not many apps installed, it still happens when i restart the phone and lock it ...

well that i have tried, but i will consider reformatting as the card is brought over from an old Samsung Note (1st Gen)
*
If your card can support it try reformat to exfat format as Note 1 supports only fat32 format.
you can copy a more than 4GB with exfat format.

Agree with you. Till now void warranty only base on speculations. We need confirmation from Sammy Mareasia.
Not right if flash stock rom with PC Odin will void warranty. Can't brain it.  shakehead.gif

Odin is a 3rd party tool n is not Samsung official tool to flash roms.

Those who get high benchmark scores >35k, have you installed MicroSD before?
*
I hit minimum 33k n highest was 35k with 64gb class 10 card inside phone. But why bother so much about this figures?? Just academic to me only
And all these talk about phone must be cool to get such scores I find doubtful. I achieved such scores after using phone nearly an hour n no need to cool down lah!!

Can i uninstall the rooted note '3 ?

I suppose only way is to flash official firmware again.
But than why even bother as the Knox security will shown you have tampered with your phone n there is no solution yet to revert this back

Superbuy told me they will received s view cover stock this week but still not confirmed. I will use it naked,hopefully nothing happen.
I never use helium backup, always titanium backup with my nexus. For note 3 i will use helium . Rooting process in note series look more complicated compare to nexus.
*
Rooting Note 3 isn way much easier than Nexus. If I score a difficulty level of 8 for Nexus, The Note 3 will score only a mere 2. I am very familiar too rooting Nexus using toolkit or using adb commands and I have rooted all the Nexus series - phones and tablets too

anyway, i like the feel without screen protector but feeling insecure haha

Only sand particles can scratch your phone
Normal metallic stuffs eg coins, keys will not. I even tested dragging lightly a scissor, screwdriver n pen blade across display n it turns out well.
My chance of display scratch is near zero as it is always protected by flip case cover.
In fact I will try as far as possible not to use SP n my gadgets has always been scratch free. Only the Xperia range I put SP due to anti shatter film is not scratch proof.

Did you install any unofficial/ malicious app? Or you install through apk from other sources??
Has never faced hung issues despite having many app open same time since day one ( Sep 25).

Downloaded from Sammobile latest M'sian firmware N9005XXUBMJ1_N9005OLBBMI3 and use Odin 1.87 in PC and successfully flashed it. Whole process took about 1 + mins to complete
I have reported earlier flashing the Spore non telco version failed ( tried 3 times ). Probably we cannot flash another region official firmware unlike previous Galaxy series ??
All data remain intact but lost root n CWM
System Status and Current Binary back to OFFICIAL but Knox Warranty remains 0X1

I tried to root the latest M'sian firmware with Chainfire CF Root but stuck at Cache stage in ODin and afterI removed the USB cable faced the dreaded PC_Phone firmware error and advised to use KIES REcovery mode to restore firmware
I did not do that but instead went back to download mode and reflash the latest M'sian firmware - phone is now OK
Getting late now, will try again tomorrow to reroot and have CWM re installed

Uncle Benny..did you do Nandroid on the last MI7 firmware. ?
Is is possible to restore that Nandroid..?
Sorry for many question as I've yet to root my phone.

Thanks
*
Yes I did a successful nandroid backup.
Refer to chenglu thread post #1 he did give an important tip before doing a restore. If not you won't get a successful restore. I didn't try it anyway.
Many user miss this tip causing a fail restore

Just a word of caution. Import duty may be imposed for a big delivery like that. I was taxed last time when I bought a few spigen cases directly from spigen.  rclxub.gif

If tax it is 30% I remember
