- Download the Samsung USB Drivers for your computer and Mobile phones. You might also like to check out the ADB drivers from ClockworkMod instead of using the Samsung drivers.
- Make sure you have the USB Debugging Mode enabled before using the guide. You sometimes need to have the Developer Options menu unlocked before you can find the Developer Options. If you do not see any Developer Options menu from the Settings, that includes you. To unlock it, head over to the Menu > Settings > About Device and tap the build number 7 or 8 times.
- Now that the Developer Options menu is unlocked for everybody, you all should head to the Settings > Developer Options > check the box for the USB Debugging Mode.
- You must have the bootloader unlocked before you can follow this guide. We do not teach you how to unlock the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 bootloader during the guide. However, you will find other resources for that online and from the Chainfire website.
- You are voiding the warranty by following this guide. Most flagship devices come with Samsung’s Knox security and Knox security stops you from being able to get the warranty working again once tripped. You’ll need to research whether or not Knox security was around when the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 came out.
