I just bought a Note 3 HK version (港行) introduced by a friend of friend) paid RMB 3650, its 16gb and the box is in wood colour type (bio degradable). Its called N900, I dont know which variant is it. Apart from Earphone, usb cable and charger and a instruction booklet (which is in German and foreign language, no english nor Chinese). No warranty card and no IMEI number on the box. Please can anyone tell me whether this is genuine and which variant it is? Feel like Im being conned =(

anyone recommends update to 123.25mb? how was it? got battery drain issue?

ya i guess it is..and i was quite worry after reading the forumer's comments..seems like samsung's firmware updates always will cause battery drainage issue   

What is the current price for Note III now? btw I am going to buy later, I am so worried on the spec and functionality scared will get a defect device because I am gadget noob. :I

alright. I will try my best to justify my purchase later. Thanks bud. 

Scratch the itch then. 

   

Apply some mobiko then knox will be gone 

It's very simple now. You still can flash ROM with knox intact using MOP. antt00 is your master sifu if you need help. Just that you can't flash custom kernel only.
Civz engine 2.5 is out already, maybe you can give it a shot

After trying all custom kernels, except wonderchild, the best for me in battery life is yank kernel and lean kernel. Yank kernel gives me very low wakelock.

Most of the ROM will come with stock kernel. So far only X-Note and Civato ROM gives you the option of flashing custom kernel. As long as you didn't flash recovery and custom kernel, you knox will be intact with the custom ROM being flashed to your device. If not mistaken, aroma installer will work.

antt00 correct?

I haven't try civz 2.5 and lean 1.8. Still on yank kernel 0.5. If you have time then test it out ba. Pretty solid and stable.
Yes. You can read more in the link below. Few users tried already including our TS

when the rose gold version will reach malaysia?
and the estimated price?

Most roms come with stock kernel but it's best to read their description in xda or ask in their forum. Don't assume.
Are u on old or new bootloader? Rooted already or not. If new bootloader you will trip knox.

Yes you will trip knox. So if you wanna flash rom might as well install a custom recovery.

Yes. But even with custom rom you can get official status with wanam xposed.

Yup. You can have custom kernel also to get se enforce to permissive.

Strange , not suppose 2 have . Try doing a davik and cache wipe .
But then s pen will be gone with CM . This is 1 device i feel CM is a not a good rom for it .
