Install Official Android 5.0 Lollipop Firmware on Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900

DJ | 30 Jan 2015 | ROMs/ Samsung

Leaked firmwares are common nowadays,  and the most popular amongst these leaks are those of Samsung devices. Following the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop,  several OEMs started to roll out the latest update for their flagships,  while those which had their release planned were flowed too,  with leaks. Most of these firmwares are previews or beta builds of the upcoming release that are about to follow. You can use these leaked ROMs to get a snippet of the features that are about to come over with the official release, but on the sake of stability or even bugs.

Lately we have attempted to install a surprise leak of Lollipop firmware on the Galaxy Note 3, which has gained popularity over time. And recently we’ve been glad to observe that the official Android 5.0 Lollipop has been released for Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900).

      If you want OTA updates in future, you must the install the firmware with the same CSC it has originally. However, if you have been using the device in Lebanon and have purchased it some other country, you won’t get OTA’s from Samsung. You can go with the UAE firmware.

    Hey.

    Ive got a SM-N900. And im currently on KK. Ive got a stupid problem. I can barely get half a day battery life on this. the battery dies up fast. I did notice that if i disable the WiFi then my battery usage is pretty low.

    Ive heard that Lollipop also has a high battery drainage rate. I was thinking. If i upgraded to Lollipop. Would i face a high battery usage?

    I need to get thru atleast a day. I have a mega 6.3 and i can easily get 12hours+.

    Can u plz advise If Lollipop is a better choice.

    Thanks in advance.

        I have a friend who also has a note and exchanged the battery to see if things were better . But unfortunately it’s the same. What do you think.?

    Hello Rakesh. First of all, i’d like to thank you for uploading this guide. A few days back i updated my npte 3 n900 to lollipop by the above mentioned method. However, now i am facing an issue where I am unable to receive push notifications on mobile data. Is this becuase I’m using the russian firmware in Pakistan? I believe the phone keeps looking for the russian network signals and cannot keep yhethe connection with local cellular service when in idle mode.
    Now i was thinking to change to the Indian firmware and see if it works. Should i follow the same procedure as above for changing my lollipop firmware to Indian? Please advise. Thanks

    OK, just tried the process and failed to do it. I followed all the steps as it was written. However, all looked like it is working at the beginning and the Odine reacted as it does the job. After an hour there was nothing !!! so, I gave up the process. I think it is better to wait for the official release even if it will take a while.

    Hi, Rakesh.

    My Note 3:
    Baseband version is N900XXUENG1
    Build number KOT48H.N900XXUENH1.

    I dont know which number is PDA and which is CSC but on sammobile i found out that there is no lollipop 5.0 for these 2 codes, only 4.4.2:

    Date 2014-10-01
    Version Android 4.4.2
    PDA N900XXUENH1
    CSC N900OXEENI1

    Date 2014-07-01
    Version Android 4.4.2
    PDA N900XXUENG1
    CSC N900ODDENF1

    Does this means my phone still cant get lollipop?
    Also can you tell what does this means, its the last section in my about device information:
    United Arab Emirates
    TRA ID: 0010633/08

      Hi, if your phone is not locked to a carrier, you can install any unbranded firmware. If you wish, you can later download the firmware for your country when available and install that.

    Ok so this was the most comprehensive and thorough instructions out there… mind you the link for the Firmware was a tedious hassle to get. 2 things to keep in mind for the novices like me – GET THE RIGHT FIRMWARE there is SM-N900 and others like SM-N9005. Also the device will take a while to reboot and run through the animation then the app optimization … I got worried and almost started to panic – be patient !

        Already did that before your comment. Boot loaded successfully but that time I had gone through another Odin Flash process with a Custom ROM (N900) PIT File Re-Partition as I didn’t have any backup of my PIT, unfortunately! This Stock Lollipop ROM is now working but battery drains too fast!! Do you face anything like this? I think, the problem is in that Custom ROM PIT File.
        Now, can you please give me your PIT Layout File? You can backup it through ADB Shell or Terminal Emulator.

            Alright, if I have installed this firmware, and then I want to install other firmware, can I install it while using this ROM or, I must do factory reset and then download other ROM?

            You can install the stock firmware normally. No need to reset the device.

            Oh alright. Now I want to attempted to backup and reset because it can changed my phone bug, and if I reset my device, is this ROM back to KitKat, or not? By the way you have fast reply. Nice service.

            Resetting the device does not affect software version. If it has KK, it will remain the same.

    S-View Cover was working after the Firmware was installed. The Device was lagging so i set it to factory Reset then it worked smoothly without lags but S-View Cover was not working though it worked before Factory Reset

    Anyone experiencing random restarts? Will be using the phone or have it docked on the desk and it will simply restart. Annoying as ever.

      Boot the phone into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset. It’ll be fixed.

    I tried to use the PIT file for my 32 gig and I get a PIT error on my phone and in ODIN. I tried using the PIT generated from my phone as well. It will only successfully complete if i use PA file by itself. Then everything works perfectly fine on the phone accept for WiFi. It won’t turn on. When i try to swip the bar right to turn on the WiFi, it doesn’t react and swipe right. and its greyed out.

      Its not a pit file issue, pit is partition design for your smartphone. The issue is your radio (modem/baseband). Just get the right one.
      Or, click on the SOURCE link at the end of the article and you can ask the users over at XDA.

    I flashed this but modem.bin failed. i let it completely boot up. fdr’d and everything worked except for WiFi. any idea? Literally every single thing on the phone worked except wifi wouldn’t turn on. It isn’t like it wouldn’t connect to wifi. It literally wouldn’t toggle ON. i know people are having issues with staying connected but i didn’t even make it that far. if i tried to press the wifi button it would just stay greyed out and never turned on. Im running the t-mobile unlocked sm-n900t on ATT network.

      Might be a software fault from company side. Lets see if someone else reports too.

      If your N900 is not locked to any carrier then, yes.
