It worked beautifully on Galaxy Note 3 by T-Mobile without any hickups. Thank you.
At first i got stuck with a non opening google play store, wiped data made it worse the phone gets stuck on software update help
Flash a firmware file to your device
Does this work with lollipop 5.0 firmware ending in ob6 ?
Yes
I followed the directions root went fine but now the google store wont open.
I have a SM-N900T WITH ANDROID 5.0
Did you try to wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode?
Everything works fine for me up until step 5.
Once I get my device to the warning screen, a new message saying “removed” pops up in Odin3.
I hit start anyway.. then I get 2 more messages saying “all threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 0)
Absolutely nothing happened with my device, so I restarted it and I was back to normal.
Could the samsung usb driver be to blame? I’m unable to “open” it after I install it, although I didn’t think that was an issue.
After connecting your device in download mode to Pc you got Added and ID:COM box turn into blue? if not reinstall the driver and connect your device to the main USB ports not a secondary
Thank you very much it worked on my Note 3 SM-N900T
Thanks! 🙂
