hi every one!
i am new here, and as now i am out of warranty so i decided to root my phone and get Note 3 features on my N7100

Let me tell about my device :
Model : GT-N7100
Android version : 4.3(unrooted) and Knox installed.
Now my question are:-

2. what is my bootloder version ? from where can i find it ?
3. what else do i need to know except model no and android version ?
4. your recommendation on ROM that which ROm suits my needs as i want only features and stability( dont want to flash rom often therefore want bug free)

maybe: Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting? Q&A = questions and answers
it's been a while but I don't think I have updated my bootloader. you are most likely on mj5 or newer as you updated on 4.3.

Knowing which boot loader version ur on is quite tricky but if you have stock 4.3 then you are good to go don't look too much into it. If its your first custom ROM then advice will be to stick with a touch wizz based ROM there are many. But if you want note 3 features then as stated above ditto note 3 would be my choice. Root your phone(do not fret over knoxx) get the latest custom recovery( I advice twrp 2.7.0). Download ditto note 3 ROM wipe every thing ( data dalvik cashe cashe internal SD )do not wipe ext SD card. Flash rom (for more specific info read ROM op) and now plz close the thread or move this into qand a section
Regards
Happy flashing

Install phone info from play store to know bootloader and other things
Don't worry. .. since you have Knox. . You are mostly on mj9.. don't try to install anything less than 4.3 android
Ditto note 3 DN3 v4RC2 is what you need. .. go to its thread and read FAQ on post 4... and enjoy

aw, you've downloaded it from the PlayStore. It used to work if its bough. Check the games topic and see which games and their versions are working for your device. I'd suggest you to use Chainfire but you said that your tab isnt rooted.

If your device is new I suggest you not to root it before you know what you are doing. Rooting your device will void your warranty. I suggest you to ask the people in the store where you bought it if there is some problems if you do so (I did it this way and they said its fine if I dont brick it myself). If you think you know enough to proceed there you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930197 . Also I suggest you to install custom ROM because its way faster then stock OS. There is other way, check the topic for games available for A101 and check if the version matches with the one you've downloaded from PlayStore.

yes it's new .. i will wait the warranty to end , after that i will root it ..
but please ,, i have some questions , i hope you will answer me..
1.. you advise me to install a custom ROM as its faster ,, doesn't rooting include installing it ? or rooting is a step and installing a custom ROM is a separated step which i can ignore ?
2..the topics you gave has a lot of firmwares which one to use ? how do i know ?
3.is it true that with rooting i can download paid apps for free ?
i know this is far away from the main topic , but i need to know every thing about rooting , as it a little bit confusing me ..

1.First you root your device by installing Special Developer Edition of android called also SDE and then install the custom rom over it. Your device remains rooted with the custom rom.
2. The firmwares are just firmware versions released by Archos. Download the latest one and all the files with the same number for the correct firmware. If you like to proceed ofcourse.

The problem is you didn't wrote your phone model there are many Note 2 variants , now what rom did you had before you tried to flash DN3 and what process did you use ? The only advice i have for you right now is flash stock rom using odin but be carefull because MK4 4.3 has knox.

Hotfile is down so this is the best i found atm, i keep backup roms on my hard drive but it would take 2 days with my speed to upload it.

[Q] From 4.1.2 Stock to 4.3

I currently use 4.1.2 stock rom because 4.3 didn't come to my country yet.I want to flash roms but they require EML3/4 and i currently have DMF3.What should i do and/or how can flash note 3 apps in my phone.Newbie here sorry , thanks.

IMHO it is better to root the phone and flash some custom ROM that already has note 3 apps... I.e. DN3, Phoenix or Criskelo. You should also flash MJ5 bootloader from Odin (since it is Knox free)

Those Roms don't require ML3/4, most of them only run with bootloaders MJ5 and up.
Here is an interesting link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596761
My advice: Read, read and again read through posts dealing with root, upgrading bootloader, keep warranty and try to understand more about your device. If you don't understand technical terms, search in Google or just ask! :good:

First thing it is not a 'room' Its a 'ROM', Second thing it is not a 'forms' because it is a 'forum'.
Now comin' back to the quest,,, Yes you can do more with DN3, mostly all of Note 3 and leaked S5 features were included in DN3.

Nope,,, Not at all, Startup animation is ROM oriented, so if you're flashing stock roms Like DN3 or stock prerooted roms there is no worries of loosing of same.

Yes you can root also through TWRP, but use Saferoot or CF-Auto-Root to make things work correctly

thanks brother, i already install ditto d3 4.4.2 rc 2 on my note 2...its work like charm to me....thanks for your help......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I dont mean to compare with other roms, but i want to ask if there is any issue with the ditto rom?
i am using another custom rom with note3 feautures (glanceS4/N3) but it has a few bugs, for example: in the default browser i cant see download from the option menu and every time i want to close one tab, it closes all tabs instead.
Does Ditto have same issue?
Thanks for your feedback

Ditto Note 3 isn't the best rom for N2 but you can try it... if you have a original 4.3 Rom... you must to do a easy root using Cf-AutoRoot or flash a zip-signed file with the original recovery, then you download the new rom and try to install it with philz o twrp recovery.... REMEMBER to do a EFS backup ABSOLUTELY and a Nandroid Backup from recovery.It 's easier in practice than in words.

[Q] DN3 on my Note 2 ?

Hi,
Sorry for the noob question, I have N7100 international version with the bad bootloader (associated with 4.3). Did some modding but I would like to install DN3 which I downloaded (DN3_v3.2_by_E-Team_(Vegeta_Edition)). Is it possible with that bootloader ? My version number ends with XXUEMK9
No
Need flash new bootloader first

If your bootloader is MK9 then you don't need to upgrade to latest bootloader which is ND3.Only drawback of being on the older bootloader is that you cannot charge your phone by turning it off it will turn back on.If you don't care about this then stick to MK9 if you want to upgrade to ND3 then you can do that after flashing the ROM.Also my advise for you to is to flash DN3 V5.2 it's the latest release and based on KitKat 4.4.2.
DN3 V5.2 scroll all the way to the bottom for the links,there are two versions full and lite only difference is that lite has bloatware removed such as samsung apps and all that full version has all that but while going through aroma set up you can choose what you would like to keep.
nd3 bootloader to be flashed via pc odin using the bootloader tab only after flashing DN3 ROM.
Thanks very much for your help. Noob question number 2 : how to know what my bootloader is ? And number 3 : I thought the bootloader going with 4.3 was locked and couldn't be changed so I feel lost, could you explain this ? Thanks already !!
Hey, did it, it works flawlessly. Thanks for your help I appreciated it.

Sorry I just happened to check your reply on the thread since you didn't quote my post while replying.Glad it worked out for you.To know which bootloader you are on download phone info app for samsung from playstore it will tell you that.Regarding 4.3 bootloader from 4.3 onwards all bootloaders knox and they can only be upgraded not downgraded so if a newer bootloader after ND3 arrives you can upgrade to that but you won't be able to go back to ND3.
Just lost my wifi/bt & wifi hotspot after using dn3 5+ for a several days.. I return back to 4.3 custom rom and stock rom hoping to fix this problem but no luck..

Oh, yeah sorry I'm not used to quoting. I am really happy with this rom except for two things : battery life is a little shorter (didn't install greenify yet), and there this app always stopping when I play music with deezer : soundalive. Changed it for the other FX something I can't remember but now it's OK. Thanks!
