Re-Installing Samsung Note 3 (N9005) for encryption and NFC unlock

What an installation hell (2 days wasted)…

Being constantly exposed to all potential features of Mobile Phones, I wanted to have several things going on at the same time:

Full encryption of the phone with long password entered usually only at boot time
Using an NFC ring usually to unlock the phone (I was hoping to use Smart Lock for it.)
Being able to run Unity and Vuforia-based projects from my student (this actually lead to having to use maximum Kitkat)
Being able to use k9 (also serious display issues in Lollipop)
Root access

Summing it up, it was extremely hard. The only solution I could get working, was getting a stock ROM for the Samsung phone from some shady download site, using Odin 3.09 to flash the respective Rom, encrypting the phone (I think it maters to do this first), using chainfire to re-root it, and then installign Xposed and there NFC Screen unlock.
