[Q] Noob proof rooting

Hi,
I just received my first smartphone and am really excited about it Aaaand ... I'm totally new to Android and the whole rooting & Custom firmware process
I want to root to Backup my TA before unlocking BL and was looking at zxz0O0's guide. There are now quite a few versions of the z1c dual recovery from NUT. I am on Android 4.3. Can I simply use the latest version?
Thanks a lot!

latest version is appropriate 2.7.99 (not tried it yet) as I rooted mine before KK came using 2.7.95

perfect, thanks for the information. Will give it a try and hope not to brick anything

I think it's safe to say that version 2.7.97 does not properly work so make sure to not use that version.

[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!

Reverting back to Stock? (Rooted or otherwise)

So I recently got a Galaxy S5 and my cousin is out of a phone so I'm hoping to give him my S3 since I no longer need it - I'm trying to revert it as close to stock as possible, but the threads (i.e. this one) I've tried have led to no results.
I'm here to ask if anyone could guide me to (or even guide me through) the process to get it back to normal?
For further information:
Android Version: 4.4.4
Custom ROM: Dirty Unicorns
Bootloader: I747UCUFNE4
Kernel Version: 3.4.101-Deathly-1.9.1 (Don't ask me what exactly this references, I don't know)
I can provide more information to the best of my ability, but it may take me a while to find out how exactly to use this phone again.

Since it looks like you're already on the NE4 update, follow this thread to get full stock rooted NJ1

Help Downgrade AT&T Note 4 Sm-910a 5.0.0 Lollipop to kitkat 4.4.4

I Recently upgraded my note 4 to lollipop but then I didn't know I would lose my root so now i wanna downgrade my sm-910a to. Kitkat. . It has a baseband version coc4. Is it possible to downgrade? If yes then link please Thanks or else provide me pre rooted firmware for sm-910a. Thanks once again

Read around before posting please. Once you are on COC5-C6, you can't downgrade. So kiss your temp root goodbye. This info is everywhere, especially lately with more and more people asking the same questions over and over again.

I told My baseband is coc4 :// ?
So coc4 can't be downgraded once it's on lollipop?

Unfortunately no. Everyone who has tried soft bricked their phones.
This is why there are new posts on a daily basis with people crying because they have bootloops or soft bricked devices. Att did something with the Stagefright patches that prevent downgrading.
Edit: My bad! I didn't notice that you said COC4. I THINK C4 can be downgraded still. I know for sure that C5-C6 can't.

Kitkat firmware link please
Firmware link and steps please .. Thanks spex and goldenfish for your replies. I know I'm asking for so much help. . Coz actually on bed rest. Your help would be great

And first thing you must to do before flashing is back up your efs using twrp. Happy modding!
