[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lsvtec4dr:
Ok so I'll chime in my.02 on this frustrating venture with my note 3. No consistency on what I've done except for nothing but pure luck.

I started off with MI3. I odin'd CF-Autoroot. Booted up and saw the superuser, so then I flashed CWM. Then I flashed freeza's stock deodexed rooted MI5, which gave me Build MI5 but baseband MI3. Saw the MJ4 stock rooted rom, so I odin'd Stock MI5 .tar, did a wipe, started stock again, and took the update to MJ4.

Ran the CF-Autoroot, booted up, restarted in download mode, flashed recovery and installed stock rooted deodexed MJ4. Didn't see the wi-fi pw issue that was posted, so I decided to flash MI5 .tar 3 time only to get fails, which softbricked the phone.

Went to Sprint and they ordered me a replacement, which in luck happened to be a BNIB vs refurb. In the meantime, while I had a useless device at home, I ran so many combos with flashing .tar's, cf-autoroots, flashing multiple recoveries, and I can't even begin to count how many times I flashed between 3 roms( Stock deodexed rooted MI5, Stock deodexed rooted MJ4, and Jellybomb). Lots of fails, however in the process, I was able to boot back to the stock rooted MJ4, flashed again and later somehow ended up with Jellybomb with MJ4 bb, and after even more attempts (I figure I have another Note 3 on the way), I somehow had a final successful flash on stock rooted MI5.

My current build is on MI5, however bb is on MJ4. So far no issues. Ran the 4-in-1 boot mod and hotspot hack and both worked flawlessly. Installed xposed framework and wanam and loaded a few mods and everything worked. Even the Terminal to disable knox worked.

-So my replacement comes in tomorrow. Should I just keep this setup or start all over again with the new device. I like the MI5 build to keep the mods, and MJ4 for updated call clarity. I wanted to attempt possibly having the most updated build with at least hotspot, and with tripping knox counter. With all the inconsistency I've had, I don't know if I can get the new phone to the current state that my phone is in now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gack69:
Probably best posted in the general Q&A forum as opposed to here, but what you're describing with the soft bricking, I've read numerous times here on the forums. So, my personal guess is that there isn't anything hardware wise that is wrong with your original device, and if you returned it and started all over again on the new one, would have a decent chance of just running into these same issues on the new device. Seems that the GN3 is very "picky" about the way some of these flashes have to be done, requiring very specific steps...not as forgiving as other models. Could just be a symptom of just new hardware/software characteristics.

Like you said...just my .02 :) Which ever road you choose, good luck!

on a phone with MJ4 non rooted or custome recovery,

do i root with kingoroot then odin twrtp

or odin twrp and then kingoroot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
I would think you have to root before getting twrp

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 AM ----------

For the people that have had the call issue, has the various methods going back and forth to stock and then rooting corrected. The call issue?

I haven't done it yet and was just trying to clarify.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RayJoel28:
I am currently running jelly bean rom with no root on MJ4 firm. Whenever I try to run either one of your deodex/odex rooted roms using cwm, my phone hangs at Samsung logo or bootloops. How would I go amungst to fixing this issue? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
Feeling like a complete noob over here but...

Long story short, I was on MJ4 stock rooted (not Freeza's but ODINed back to MI5 and took the MJ4 update then re-rooted) and installed Freeza's odex 4-in-1 reboot mod; this gave me a bootloop. I got back into TWRP and restored my system partition, rebooted and all was good. Since I'm an idiot (and had a few beers) and decided to keep messing with it, I then decided to try and install Freeza's MJ4 Deodex Stock Rooted, so I could be deodex. However, when I attempt to flash this I receive the "some simlinks failed" error in TWRP.

I've downloaded this ROM on 2 different PCs, made sure MD5 matched, tried installing from my internal vs. external SD - but results are still the same. Running TWRP 2.6.3.7 and have no issues flashing anything else. I have restored my nandroids and am now back to MJ4 firmware with Freeza's MI5 Stock Rooted (Deodex) data restored but would REALLY like to flash his MJ4 Deodex stock rooted.

Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this and how to fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] quantumtransfer:
Hello,

I flash the stock odex version of this rom.. The problem I am having is that every time I reboot my phone it seems to lose some previous settings like WIFI connection information, launcher settings. goo.im is down at the moment, so downloading another rom to test is out is not an option.. Is there any way I can revert back to mi5? The only thing changed in the status window is build is mj4 but baseband and software are mi5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
This is a known bug, going back to MI5 will be fine and will fix the issue for you. I am sure Freeza knows about it but he hasn't posted a fix as of yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] quantumtransfer:
I ended up downloading the cf-auto root and using it with odin. Then I downloaded the non-rooted stock MI5 firmware and flashed via odin. Factory reset with stock firmware, then allowed the room to boot. I upgraded to the MJ4 update. This updated baseband, software, and firmwares. I used the cf-auto root again to gain root. Success. Others mentioned this part didn't go so smooth. For me it went smooth. Now I'll hangout with the rooted stock rom just like I wanted without the WIFI issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
Thanks for the info. I will do that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Hi Freeza. I was wondering if you had any plans on releasing a stripped down MJ4 deodex ROM w/ all the mods you and Josh have released. Some of the mods that Josh released (like removing Connection Optimizer) seem a bit advanced for me. It would be great to have a none theme ROM that had all the bells and whistles.

Regardless, thanks for all your work thus far!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
Hi. I have isolated the wifi password problem and will post up an update patch today.

Sorry for the long wait!

Yes, definitely! Working on it as I type. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
Hey freeza, thanks for looking into this. Just out of morbid curiosity what was the issue? I was playing around with trying to fix it myself (keep in mind I really had no idea what I was doing) with permissions on the config file and different symlinks but of course couldn't get it to work. I'm trying to learn a bit though so would be interested in what you did to fix it.

edit: Just realized you said it was a patch, I might be able to see the files you changed there. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
Another issue I noticed (not sure if it's just me having the problem) when transferring files from pc to SD it fails. Transferring to internal memory works fine but to SD it fails everytime.

Anyone else try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
It was a file I forgot to update in /system/etc/secure_storage. Since secure_storage is set to true in build.prop, it needed to be updated :'(

Here's the update: MJ4 Update Fix

Someone please let me know how it goes!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
Is this after forgetting the Wi-Fi network and/or wiping caches?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
yes, I forgot and wiped both cache and dalvik,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
Crap. You guys are right. Looks like SELinux is to blame. I'll have to include it in the full ROM then. I'll upload the whole thing shortly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
I was able to Odin back to stock mi5 tar that Josh posted on his site. I then rebooted, wiped data in Stock recovery , then re-odined mi5 and was able to get the mud update. Now my baseband and firmware is mj4. Then used cf auto root.

I will wait until you re upload so I can add mj4 deodexed again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Herk718:
Yes, waiting on the re-upload as well :) thanks for everything [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] u rock bro!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MasterZen88:
Does anyone know where I can download the MJ4 modem or MJ4 OTA?

Or if you have the MJ4 Broadband can you please run the following command within shell and upload the modem.bin:

With in Shell

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096

Exit shell and pull the modem.bin then upload:

adb pull /sdcard/modem.bin

that hit the spot.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] doroyce05:
I downloaded the deodex version. I installed but I didn't do a factory reset. Well that didn't fix it.

I downloaded the FIX and flashed it. That worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] r80ies:
I manually followed the instructions in OP and that didn't work. Then flashed the zip and that has not worked. Should I flash the new ROM with then the WiFi fix?

Update: I got it to work, by installing new v2 ROM over current v1 ROM. Then flashed fix and all it well in my tiny world. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
Sadly this did not work for me :mad: I used deodex version of ROM and also tried to use the fix but still no luck :confused:

Edit: Disregard, I got it working. I'm an idiot. Thanks again Freeza! :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
I had gotten a fail as well but that due to not having the full file (someone said it should be 1.3gb), mine was 900mb. Anyways that was v2. I re ran version 1 and just flashed the source zip on top and it worked. I can understand the frustration. I would restore to your previous back up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eml626:
I flashed the V2 Odexed version along with the wifi fix and the original update patch fix. Prior to flashing I cleared cache and dalvik. Once updated I found that my device still shows as being software and baseband MI5 and build MJ4. I flashed MJ4 Firmware test to no avail. I am still showing the same stats. Additionally I am having the wifi not getting past obtaining ip address issue. Do I need to do a complete wipe and install stock rom in order to do the update and fix the wifi? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this has already been asked.

UPDATE: Reinstalling the update seems to have fixed Wifi but not the version number issue. Any suggestions? Thank you again to everyone who works so hard to support this device. Now to decide whether to keep it or go for the G2 on Friday.

Freeza, do you know why the apk for Gmail is named Gmail2 in a system apps? I'd like to flash the DarkHorse version, but with the different name, I'd like to not wind up messing things up just for a nicely themed app.

Do not use the current TWRP recovery. Use the 2.6.3.2 rev.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
What's Wrong with the Current Rev?

I flashed this last night fresh out of the box (literally) using 2.6.3.7, and had no issues. I had to flash the image file to get the recovery to stick, but I've since flashed a baker's dozen of inverted apps on top of the doedex build without any issues.

I'm new to this phone, so I would appreciate your guidance here.

Latest deodexed version works great but did require the wifi fix to be flashed. Ty freeza!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ldoby:
My Note 3 is showing MJ4 for the Build number but MI5 for everything else. Is this correct? I also want to note that when I flashed with TWRP, the rom flashed in less than 20 seconds which I found odd. I did not factory wipe, just wiped dalvick and cache. Did not have to apply wifi fix. hotspot still working and xposed settings still in tact. Something has to be wrong, lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] doroyce05:
That's odd. Mine says mj4 on all of them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
You need to upgrade your firmware to MJ4 and reflash. There are threads here on XDA about upgrading it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ldoby:
Do I need to go the route of flashing this rom through odin or can it be flashed directly with twrp? That's the part I'm confused about at this point. (Everything I've read leads to an Odin flash)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
Flash through recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ldoby:
Did that, still only showing MJ4 on build number and mi5 on everything else :( what did I do wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ifly4vamerica:
You will need to follow a thread for updating firmware and baseband. This is just a ROM basically Odin back to stock MI5 factory reset in stock recovery, Odin MI5 again, reboot let phone apply MJ4 update then Odin twrp then flash this ROM through twrp.

freeza, just wanted to say thanks for the deodex base. My phone has gone from out of the store Sprint to mine-not-theirs in less than 24 hours. All of the wonderful themers out there make this rom the perfect launchpad.

Every Google app I have is locked down inverted, up-to-date (until Google decides it's time for more fiddling). Between Gunthermic, Kryten2k35 and Camblue, Strongsteve (thanks for the installable translate 2.8 from your S3 days and overall eye for design), The Bear, et al, things are quite awesome.

Couple of things I thought I'd pass along, the TBO donor app has a nice reboot widget, gives you fast boot into recovery. The reboot option skips the shutdown portion though, so not advisable if you want edits to build prop to stick. Just a nice extra to freeza's 4-in1 reboot mod.

Also, Titanium Backup has a recent update that supposedly fixes issues with Knox devices. Not sure if it's ready for prime time, but thought I'd let you guys know.

This is one fine community, and I'm glad to be here. After coming from the not so Epic 4G Touch, this phone is like paradise.

Happy to test anything you guys want to throw at me.

Would using titanium backup to freeze everything knox do the same as the flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I am not certain, though seems like it could. The release notes mention just the ability to backup and install apps, which is the apps sweetspot.

For killing the notices, I'd think the zip is the safer bet. I sort of trust freeza implicitly.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
For the most part, but if you go that route, periodically check to see if those apps are running by going to 'manage applications.' I've noticed that even though they're frozen, the option to "force stop" them is there--which leads me to believe that some of their child processes are running even though the parent application is frozen. But then again, who knows lol

Just curious, I love your work and de bloated rom but the only issue I've run into thus far is whenever I enable Bluetooth and connect to my JBL Charge the device reboots. I have tried connecting with my Charge while on MI5 and have no issues but when I update to MJ4 on stock, your rom, or jellybomb rom I always get a continuous reboot after I've connected too the JBL Charge. Do you think it's an hardware issue? I really wanna use this rom but need my Bluetooth feature stable
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Not Sure if I'd Describe This as Debloated....

Are you sure you have the right ROM? I believe that this is a completely stock ROM with only root added (i.e, sans mods), Odex and DeOdex options.

I would recommend that you unpair the devices, clear caches for both Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth Test from the app manager, do a full reboot of the phone, then pair the devices again.

I wish I could replicate the problem on my end, but I do not have Bluetooth speakers (that thing looks awesome, BTW). I do have a Bluetooth headset that supports audio streaming, and it works the same way on this ROM as it did on the unrooted version of the same ROM prior to installation.

Let us know if this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eeeeeeeeek:
So I used Kingo root to root device. Then pushed CWM recovery, flashed rom and now it powercycles. I tried factory wiping/cache/dalvik and reflashing rom and it still power cycles. This is the deodex version. Did I miss something or should I try downloading again?
