Flash a Galaxy Note 3 with CyanogenMod

  1. Root your device, first try the kingoapp app, here https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-root-galaxy-note3.htm. You'll need a Windows desktop. If this does not work go to xda-developers.com, find your device and look under rooting. Alternatively use towel root app.

  2. Find your N9005 devices codename, not the model number. You're likely to be good using Unified (htlte). It worked with a n9005ZHUENH4.
  3. Install a recovery, get the rashr app from google play, select your devices codename and choose which recovery you want, I recommend TWRP
  4. Download CM, go to https://download.cyanogenmod.org/. Select your codename, then click the build you want, for 5.0 Lollipop, its cm 12 , and for KitKat cm 11. https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte&type=snapshot
  5. Download essential Google apps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/reborn-gapps-t3074533 and decide which package you want (full, mini, micro, nano).
  6. Store CM and gapps zips somewhere you can remember in sdcard.
  7. Reboot to recovery (hold home + volume up buttons). Backup, select backup and follow the instructions to confirm.
  8. Wipe, select wipe and follow the instructions to confirm.
  9. Flash CM, select install, select zip from sdcard, find the cm zip and follow the instructions to confirm.
  10. Flash gapps, select install, select zip from sdcard, find the gapps zip and follow the instructions to confirm.
  11. Reboot.
  12. Voila!
