Thanks, although it's in Bulgarian . Chrome/Google translate is not very good and the steps seem critical. If you know Bulgarian, would you please be so kind to do a succinct step by step English translation for everyone here?

why would you downgrade 64bit phone to 32bit system? what a logic some people have -.-
You are deceived friend, phone and support for 32-bit and 64-bit, but the android 4.4.4 and 32-bit and android 5.0.2 also and 32-bit in our despositivo.
written in last line of post : ВАЖНО ДОПЪЛНЕНИЕ (За съмняващи се Tongue ) Гореописаните процедури по никакъв начин не влияят и не променят гаранцията. След извършването им показанието на Knox е 0x0.
IMPORTANT APPENDIX (For doubters Tongue) The procedures described above in no way affect and alter the warranty. After their performance reading of Knox is 0x0.
so this procedure can be used to make knox 0x0.
anybody has tried it?
Yes friend does not alter the knox, tested on my A500FU

what is ur knox status now ?
Can return to kitkat does not alter the knox is 0x0
So this works I take it? I'm on 5.0.2 outta the box bit want 4.4.4. People here have flashed this and booted up fine afterwards?
Sent from my SM-A500FU
Can I just flash kk firmware then factory reset and all be good?
I have tried this method, and works. A500FU. For 4.4.4, you can root with kingroot, and install viper4android and xposed without modifying the recovery, and it does not trip knox.
I needed to remain warranty. I know there is a knox reset methods, but I am not sure it can not be detected during repair. As I have written, I needed Xposed and Viper4Android. On Android 4, they can be installed as a normal apk, not needed custom recovery, which is tripping knox and voids warranty. As far as I know, they can only be installed through custom recovery on higher Android versions.

Hi all,
I have Note 3 from china (SM-N900)
the build.prop file :
ro.product.model=SM-N900P
ro.build.display.id=KTU84P.N900PVPUDNK4
ro.build.version.incremental=N900PVPUDNK4
the base band version is : N900DDUEBOB1
the pb that is kies/kies3 or smart switch can't detect my phone (usb debug turn on)
adb devices -l : this command work fine
and odin3 detect phone.
I want upgarde it to 5.0, can any one help me?
also can i install this sock firmware N900XXUEBOE3_N900ODDEBOB2_INS ??
Best regards
If I understand what you have stated, you have note 3 from china. With a operating system of Kit Kat NK4 (Sprint ) with a baseband from Lollipop 5.0 ( India version) based on the info I got here http://androidromupdate.com/galaxy-note-3-sm-n900-stock-firmware-from-official-lollipop-update/ . I don't think you can install that firmware as it is for a Exynos based processor ( international ) Note 3, the Sprint Note 3 has a Snapdragon processor. However if you do have a Exynos processor then here is one way on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/n900-one-guide-t3252033 installing the Xposed app is optional. This answer is based on the assumption the device is domestically unlocked.
thanks for your reply,
so why kies/kies3 and smartswitch can't detect my phone? there is no notification in status bar.
Did you try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBNclp5LfR8 . . .

i think i found the problem, my phone contain wrong rom
when i see my model under battery is : SM-N900, SSN :N900GSMH
i use anTuTu benchmark application CPU model : samsung exynos 5420
imei.info give me this : SAMSUNG N9005 Galaxy Note 3
Ok that is an unlocked international note 3 based on the info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574886 it can be used on all carriers. It has the Exynos 5 Octa-core processor. So I think your right its not recognizing kies because the wrong OS is installed on the device, that OS is for a snapdragon processor. To answer your original question, yes you can install N900XXUEBOE3_N900ODDEBOB2_INS based on the info here http://androidromupdate.com/galaxy-note-3-sm-n900-stock-firmware-from-official-lollipop-update/. . . once you get the right OS installed it should recognize kies.
thank you very, i have rotted my phone and install TWRP, and install this rom STOCK_DEODEXED_N900PVPUEOC5 (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/rom-t3132662 ), its baseb sprint rom 5.0 , now kies recognize my phone, i have two questions :
1- can i install Galaxy Note 3 (Exynos) rom 5.0 ?
2- i want add base.band for europe, how can i do ?
Best regards
Yes you can install lollipop 5.0 ( Exynos ) on your device. You would have to go to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" forum and try to find a version of lollipop 5.0 for the country you need it to work in. That lollipop rom has to be in a flashable zip file that you can place on your sd card, then boot into recovery wipe system, cache, and delvik-cache only then install ( flash ) the OS zip file, you won't lose root.
If you can't find a version of lollipop 5.0 in the XDA forum then go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900/ . . . You will have to register with sammobile its easy and free. They have every country lollipop 5.0 there in a stock original unrooted zip. You will have to boot into download mode and odin flash this Lollipop 5.0 OS, flash it TWICE to make sure your device back to original stock OS. It will take back to stock original like you just bought the device. From there you will have to install TWRP and root again, for more info click on Samsung note 3 rom flashing basics in my signature below or click here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 . . .
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible to anything going wrong with your device.
You are responsible to what you are doing with your phone, not me.
If you blame me, I will laugh in your face and I'll go grab a beer.
This guide is intended to be used for people who want to upgrade their Android experience. This process could be dangerous. Please follow instructions, and if in doubt, stop, and ask here. No one wants their phone bricked*.
"For quite a while you are using your LG G2 mini. You like the simplicity of Android 4.4/5.0.2 and you think LG did a good job on the UI. You live you life happily with the phone. But after a while you feel something is missing. you want more.
You googled "How to make my device awesome again" and you saw difficult terms, such as root, flashing, recovery and bootloader. You didn't know what they meant, but you knew you have to understand these terms and apply them to make your phone awesome again."
The steps to make your phone awesome again are fairly simple:
perform these steps in order from top to bottom. Do not skip any.
--Rooting--
"Yes... I remember seeing this term.. I vaguely remember something related to permissions.. but I am not totally sure what this means."
Root - The root directory of your phone. The home directory for all your important system files.
Rooting - Normally, you don't have access to this directory, since the manufacturer doesn't want you to mess with it. Rooting means you will give yourself access to this directory. Why do you want access to this directory? Because later on we will need access to it to change some files.
Most common question asked is: will this void my warranty? YES
How to Gain Root Access
Android 4.4
There are a few methods to try. If one fails, you will continue until you succeed.
Method 1
1. Go to this link
2. Click on the big lambda in the middle of the page ( ? )
3. Install the app on your phone
4. Run the app and tap on "make it rain"
5. Your phone will reboot
6. Download SuperSU from here. This app is a root access management tool, and it allows you to give certain apps root permissions.
7. The app might ask you to "update binaries". If so, let it update.
Optional: Install this app to make sure you have root access.
Method 2
Go to this link and follow the instructions.
Android 5.0.1
There is only one method for rooting on this version.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow the instructions
--Unlock Bootloader--
"Bootloader.... is that a machine that loads boots?"
Bootloader - Code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. A bootloader is usually locked on an Android device because although it’s an open source OS, still the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. In order to apply this concept, manufacturers lock the bootloader. With a locked bootloader on Android devices, it is virtually impossible to flash a Custom ROM.
Most common question asked is: why do I need to unlock my bootloader? Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone.
How to Unlock the Bootloader
It is advised to be on Android 5.0.2 to unlock bootloader.
Android 4.4
There Is only one specific guide for the d620 / d620r models.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow instructions.
Android 5.0.2
There is a guide for all varients.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow the instructions
--Custom recovery--
"After reading so much I think I need to be recovered myself!"
Recovery - Software that can be used to restore the device to factory default settings, update its operating system, and perform other diagnostic tasks. A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups.
TWRP - Team Work Recovery Project is the most common custom recovery out there. It is highly advised to use it, since other recoveries made for this device are old and unstable.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom recovery? Custom recoveries allow you to install custom software such as ROMs and kernels.
How to Flash a Custom Recovery
1. If you already have a custom recovery, enter it and flash the new recovery zip.
2. If not, download and install THIS app and flash though it the recovery zip. Then you'll be able to enter the custom recovery.
All Android Versions
There are several versions of TWRP. It is recommended to use the latest version, though using an older version won't hurt.
1. Go to HERE for Twrp 3.0.2.0
2. Go to HERE for TWRP 2.8.7.0
--Custom Rom--
"That was it? It was so easy!"
Rom - stands for “read-only memory.” A custom ROM replaces your device’s Android operating system — normally stored in read-only memory — with a new version of the Android operating system. Custom roms usually have added features not available in stock Android.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom ROM? Read THIS article.
I'm sorry for any left out roms. A lot are old and not updated or contain bugs. An updated list of them can be found at all time in the "Android Development" section.
How to Flash a Custom Rom
1. Download a custom rom to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of system, data, boot and cache.
4. Flash the custom rom.
5. Optional: flash Gapps.
6. Reboot to system.

--Custom Kernel--
"I'm going deeper... so deep, I'm almost at the kernel!"
Kernel - The kernel is the piece of software that bridges the gap between the operating system (and installed apps) and the hardware in the device. Everything you do on your device involves the kernel. Increasing the volume while playing a video? Android doesn’t directly tell the speakers to increase output. Instead, it tells the kernel that it wants to increase the volume, and the kernel talks to the speaker to increase its output.
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom KERNEL? Read THIS article.
How to Flash a Custom Kernel
1. Download a custom kernel to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of BOOT
4. Flash the custom kernel
5. Reboot to system.

Please do not quote the whole post.
The LG G2 mini Tegra edition is very different from the other varients. It has a different board and uses other components. Unfortunately, to this day there is no way of unlocking it's bootloader, but even if it could be unlocked, there is no rom development for it. I don't know about rooting it, but from my knowledge, there wasn't ever a serious discussion about rooting it. The main reason is this phone is mostly seen in Latin America, while the rest of the world uses the "normal" version of the phone.

Hi,
I have a LG G2 Mini D620 which is still on KitKat 4.4.2. It never got an OTA update to Lollipop.
It has:
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c8-00012-M8926DAAAANAZM-1
Build Number: KOT49I.A1404447153
Software version: V10g-EUR-XX
It is rooted.
What I would like to do is upgrade it to at least lollipop. Stock lollipop is fine (custom rom is not a must).
Can you point me in the right direction as to what would be the best way to achieve this?

You can find the version you want http://lg-phone-firmware.com/mobile/ and flash it to your phone

Yes.
But, you can flash a kdz of the stock ROM you want without those.

Yes indeed, that will also give you the ability to flash custom ROMs (if you wish to in the future).

I tried different recoveries with different softwares but I always got the same problem.
I solved downgrading to kitkat and following the 4.4 method. I guess something was not working in the rooting procedure..
Hi guys, I have an D620k which is on KitKat. I want to update to Lollipop trough KDZ.
Do I need to download the 620k version? Or I can flash anyone that is for 620?
Thanks!

I bought a 7" tablet from a retail store, but it won't update to a newer version of android using the update options on the device.
It appears to have a custom chinese version at the moment.
Can anyone help me update this table via adb ? it has an upgrade via adb option in the recovery boot screen.

Thanks for the reply, do you know if there is a guide on how to do an update for this device? Sorry when it comes to these types of problems, i'm not always sure what steps to follow
the thing is its a mtk device so you gonna need 3 tools apps for pc and files
firstly you gonna need the the lollipop file to flash,where to get that i have no clue( i think its packed differently than my samsung cm12 files i work with.then you gonna need the flashing software for mtk devices and your gonna need bootloader unlocked and some drivers for your OS.I fixed a mtk device a few months back and i do have all the files names somewhere.
1-mediatek vcom drivers
2-scatter file(device specific)
3-lollipop img file
4-mtk droid tools
guides are on this site and google,thats how i fixed a bricked pixie2 phone

In stock firmware,I used king root and it is very good with no lag at all.But custom ROMs comes rooted with super SU like Clean stock or Better stock or opti stock etc...And bloatware are removed.
I recommend you to install Lspeed as it increases phone speed.

Hi! I’m not am owner of a1k myself but I own an a7k
Kingroot might work for some special devices (which it supports of course) but believe me , nothing is better than having a properly installed su binary like supersu and magisksu.
To learn more about these , refer these :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
Flashing them is really easy if you have a custom recovery like twrp installed, which I don’t know whether it its available for this device or not :

Note : I shall not be held responsible for any damage done to your device because it is you who is choosing to make these changes.:good:
Use the xda labs app for easy browsing of xda pages and latest updates on technological trends :laugh:
For instructions to flash without any problems , check out any custom rom thread if available.

First of all ,I`am not a develpper,I`am Lenovo A1000 owner.
I recommend you to install Stoke {Mod edit: Link to 4pda removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
I flashed it yesterday,It`s very fast with no lag so you don`t need to install Lspeed.
-You can install Super SU easily.
- install trebuchet Launcher or action launcher then delete the default launcher.
-Install Greenify+xposed and greenify all your apps and games.
-Install Titanium Backup to delete all unnecessary apps(like google play games-Youtube-maps ..etc)
Good Luck

XCover Oreo 8.1 ROOT
My XCover 4 updated to Oreo 8.1. I'm so sorry that I didn't stop the upgrades from the stock Nougat ROM.
As far as I read Oreo updated the bootloader to version 2 and it doesn't allow downgrades via Odin back to Nougat. I wanted to flash a Baltic Nougat version of the ROM so that I could run a CF-Auto-Root for the ROM that I found in a tutorial online.
I also tried to get TWRP installed with an xcover4 image from TWRP Builder, but I doubt the bootloader version is the same and my phone doesn't even show up when I run "fastboot devices" when in bootloader mode. It shows up in "adb devices".
My main reason for rooting the phone is so that I can get call recording enabled.
