Western digital harddisk / kingston pendrive work??
*
Pendrive up to 64gb no problem since Note 1 days
USB harddrive in FAT32 formatted eg my WD, Philip 500g n 1TB Samsung is ok since Note2 days. Not all USB harddrives supported as they draw power differently. High above 250gb drives in other format eg NTFS is probably undetectable. Some hard drives need additional power input. No correct answer n you just got to test yourself
QUALITY of the usb otg cable affects too as only 1 out of my 3 cables can connect with the 1TB drive.

Mine is the fake MHL cable that I bought for Note II, tried on Note 3 works but not that smooth. laugh.gif

It works perfectly well n smooth on my original Note2/S4 MHL adapter but not on my older original Note/S3 adapter. The pins arrangement is different between them.

Latest update on XXUBMJ3_OXABMJ1

It looks like the New Bootloader MJ3 has been LOCKED down! User is unable to flash any Custom Recovery nor STOCK CSC_OXABMJ1 after getting OTA to MJ3... His phone is useless at the moment, NO CSC causing constant Keyboard FC and he can't go Custom
*
Is it ??

I am now on XXUBMJ3_ OXABMJI and I have no problems rooting it and installing CWM back
I do not faced all these issues you mentioned
I installed this rom ( UK version ) using Odin 1.87 ontop of M'sian firmware BMJ1
Rom i performing excellently since this morning without any bugs/FC etc

May I know your source of this issue ?

I believe flashing vis Odin is quite save as it doesn't flash bootloader...right..?
Only those who use OTA or Kies will received the said new locked bootloader.
*
If this is so, I will never get to have OTA updates since my Knox is flagged
Have to rely only on Odin to flash any new firmware updates

Really cannot exit d/load mode.I have to pull battery many times. How u guys do it?

You just need to hold down the power button for say at least 10 secs or slightly more and phone will reboot
I have done this I estimate at least 5-6 times experimenting and flashing with the phone
It work similarly in ALL Samsung S an Note series phones

Regarding the Root de la Vega.

It seems we 1st using Odin to flash the edited ROM, then we just continue flashing necessaries files for root.

The question is Can we flash different edition firmware?. Ours now still N9005XXUBMJ1, can we just flash others version like N9005XXUBMJ3 ?
*
I flash this Vega BMJ1 ( same as you guys ) version on top of Msian official BMJ1 and than later flash back M'sian official BMJ1 and than tested prerooted BMJ3 and finally flash UK official BMJ3 - all perfect and no issues
But mine is already Knox flagged
No harm trying
Worse scenario - you reflash back the Vega BMJ1 version

I hope not or else I will definitely sell of the Note 3 as it's becoming another lockdown like the fruitcake .
From the developer DjeMBeY in XDA . He posted about it in post #352 in his ROM]><N9005 XXUBMJ3 JB 4.3><VEGA 0x0<>Pre-Rooted STOCK ROM's><Odex/DeOdex><Odin/CWM> thread
*
I flash his patch rooted version BMJ3 last night and no issues at all. He later updated the rom and rename it Vega ( but not yet uploaded ). He is talking about another user who updated it OTA

You flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461929 ?

It seems CWM can prevent the KNOX? From his post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...105&postcount=3 mention KNOX free.
*


Yes I flash his so called PATCH prerooted rom ( BMJ3) from that site BUT he had since this morning taken it off and replaced it with VEGA rom ( not yet uploaded)
I didn't test flashing it with CWM as my phone already Knox flagged and so no point trying it
I tested the Vega BMJ1 rom ( same as you guys are using) but it doesn't remove the Knox flag of 0X1

I bought this Brando power jacket last week and it was air out on 8 Oct and should be in my hands by end of this week. It cost me US$37 inclusive delivery

http://shop.brando.com/Power-Jacket-For-Sa...9c1616d003.html

Two weeks before that, I ordered a similar one for my Xperia Z Ultra ( 4500 mAh). I am very happy with it . I have posted my comments on it in post # 707 in the Xperia Z ULtra thread. If it performs as well as the XZU unit, it is a very good buy

Hi Guys,

Sorry but I've been reading the posts over and over but there's 2 things I'm still not clear about:

1. Some sites ask to use titanium backup before rooting but how do we TB before rooting as it requires root isn't it?
2. Is it necessary to install CWM?

Thanks!
*
Where you read such stuffs ??

Titanium can only work with rooted phone
CWM is optional - necessary if you want to do a nandroid backup, and flash stuffs eg roms, kernel, modem, or some mods that only can be effected by flashing through recovery mod. Install CWM will flag your Knox warranty to 0X1

Probably, and sad case of SamMobile is, all the ROM is uploaded at Hotfile, which not that fast for normal not paid user.

I am downloading now, not sure wanna update yet or not.

benny888 Remember you had already flash to UK N9005XXUBMJ3 firmware, any differences you seen compare with local N9005XXUBMJ1 firmware?
*
Seriously don't see any significant difference or performance in BMJ3. I just update it because is the latest.

Ya! That shit KNOX!

I already post at there as well.

Haizz...............

OK la, future no need use that troublesome root anymore. Will use CF-Root instead since my KNOX already get trigger!
*

One consolation : you need not worry about flashing other region firmware - just one download will do and use CF Root to root it. Also now you can happily install CWM if you wish !

I think flash another country firmware is okay but don't root it.
And downgrading firmware also not possible...IINM.

I did mentioned before I can successfully downgrade firmware from BMJ3 to BMJ1 and than flash back BMJ3 without any issues

One thing, no need use Wanam to fake the System Status from Custom to Official as it will automatic return to Official once you install the original firmware via PC Odin.
*
Actually using that Wanam trick is useless . If you want to claim warranty you must flash back official firmware and system will be back to official already

Guys - once you want to root, be always be mentally prepared warranty is void. No matter how the developers do it to overcome this said Knox stuff or flash counter stuffs , we will not know when it will fail. Everyone is just experimenting
Nothing to be sad about it if you are ready for the Knox to be flagged out. If you are not prepared for such eventuality DON"T bother to root irrespective how safe the situation is now

This issue of warranty never occur to me as I always root my phones and I must say I am VERY LUCKY as my past 9 cases ( over past 6 years) claiming warranty on rooted phones has always being FREE. 6 times Samsung, 2 times HTC, 1 time Asus. Only my friend HTC1 which I assist him to sent in, have to pay RM700 to change motherboard as he hardbrick it when doing a RUU reinstall. But than he was prepared to pay for it knowing how strict HTC is on unlocking bootloaders
