Galaxy-Note3-KitKat
Here is how to install Omega ROM, based on Android 4.4.2 firmware, on the international LTE variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005). Samsung

The international LTE variant of Samsung Electronics Co.’s (KRX:005935) Galaxy Note 3, with the model number SM-N9005, can now be updated to Android 4.4.2 KitKat by installing the new Omega custom ROM, which is based on the official XXUENA6 Android 4.4.2 firmware released for the device.

The Omega ROM, which brings many new features to the smartphone, is not an official release by Samsung, so users need to root their device before flashing the firmware. The device is also required to have a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod to flash the ROM zip.

Here are a set of aspects that users should be aware of before flashing the ROM:

- Ensure proper back-up for personal data on the phone

- The handset should have at least 80 percent battery power

- The computer to be used in the installation process must have USB drivers for the Galaxy Note 3 installed

- Ensure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone

- The tutorial is only for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005)

If the device freezes on booting during the installation, users can perform wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik before rebooting the phone.

Note: International Business Times cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong. Users should proceed at their own risk.
