Applying this Android 5.0 Lollipop update to your Galaxy Note 3 using Odin is good cause by this way you are not going to harm your phone either way or void your phone ‘s warranty. This is an easy and risk free process

There are some guidelines you should read to get ready your phone before applying this update.

  • As we are using Odin to apply this update to your Note 3 N900 so make sure you have a windows based PC with you (windows based tablet can also do this but Macintosh can’t). Disable all the security related software like antivirus or anti malware on your PC during this process cause they can interfere between the process and this can lead to a bricked device.
  • Backup – This is a must thing to do before performing such kind of processes with any of your phone. Backup all of your important things to any safe place. You can sync your contacts to your Google account so that you can get them back after update completes. You can use Titanium Backup application available on Google Play Store to back up your important apps and restore them after the backup is complete. And backup all your audio, video and important documents to PC or any other external device so you can’t lose them during this update process cause Odin will erase everything on the phone’s internal memory during all this update process.
  • Odin software only works with Samsung devices, made by some third-party developers only to flash firmware and recoveries to Samsung devices. Odin only detects devices on download mode so you need to put your Note 3 on download mode by powering down you phone then power it up by pressing power key, volume down key and home key together.
  • On your Note 3 USB debugging option will be enabled before putting it to download mode. You can do this by going to settings > About Device > tap on Build Number 7 times rapidly, now go back to settings > Developer Options > enable the USB Debugging option.
  • Charge your device to at least 75% before performing this update process, your phone will not lose power during all this process cause if this happens you will get nothing but hard bricked device.
  • Apply this update only on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 having model number N900, using these files, software and process on other phone can brick your device. If you still try to do this on other android device or other Samsung variant, you can’t put that blame on us as we already warned you about this.
