I Need to Know the Build of Your Software Rev...

I need to know the build of your software rev. Can you show me your about phone? Once I see that, I'll link you the bootloader. Flash with PC Odin goes in the bootloader slot. Here's version 3.07 just in case you want to have a version that I have used repeatedly without issue (they all work pretty well).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Flash the NAB Engineering Bootloader...

Flash the engineering bootloader for NAB (it's on page 2), thread here.

You can also flash a one-click version of same found on RWilco12's thread here.

I suppose you might try the NC5 engineering bootloader, but I just don't like the idea of messing with a different bootloader from the OS build, but I'm conservative that way. Probably harmless, but this is the one thing you can use to put your phone into a coma from which it will never come out (typically a risk when putting the bootloader fhe wrong OS, like KitKat on JellyBean or vice versa).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] comptonhubbard:
thanks but I didn't have it selected....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkgadgetman:
1) Install bootloader 2) install ROM (pda slot) both using pc odin. Then I should be on stockish nc5? Is that correct? Again, Thank-you!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] comptonhubbard:
ok finally on the beastmode kernel had to restore setup three times but now the problem is I can't update PRL or profile without phone hot rebooting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Oh my no...my bad, you need full directions to get to NC5(D). Bootloader matters none.

I'll link you in 5...

Hey I was just teasing bro! Most of the time one person will ask what the majority is thinking anyway so no harm no foul.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JuggZaPoppiN:
Just curious as to what is the difference between this rom and what comes stock on your phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
It's rooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JuggZaPoppiN:
Obviously.

That's the only difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
Obviously, not so obvious. It's stock, but rooted, for your convenience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JuggZaPoppiN:
No.... It's obvious its rooted otherwise I wouldn't be looking in this forum now would I?

Just trying to figure out what is the benefit of flashing this over keeping my phone rooted and stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LMMT:
You're reading too much into it. It is exactly what the title says, stock rooted. If you rooted your phone, then you are already stock rooted, odex. If for some reason you made some mods, that you had problems with, this will take you back to a convenient starting point. Or, if you wanted to experiment with making your own rom, this is the MI5 base.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JuggZaPoppiN:
Makes sense. That's all I needed to know.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] freeza:
New ROMs posted. Keep in mind that without the MJ4 firmware/baseband, the audio problem during calls will still be present.

Me as well as many other talented XDA devs are working to figure out how to update basebands manually. As it stands now, they can only be updated officially from Samsung. Any attempts to update them manually will not work. I was able to do it one time (MI3 to MI5) but all attempts after have been unsuccessful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Thanks for the info. Hope you guys are able to figure out how to get the firmware working sooner rather than after because my in call audio is horrific.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
OK, I misread your post. You said that you can't edit system files? In what way are you trying to edit them? Change permissions, or edit files like build.prop?

I thought you had trouble writing to the external SD.

You may have a bigger or different issue, and one I've not encountered.

Let us try with ES File Manager, not a backup program, and just attempt to create a folder with a file manager.

Micmars,

When I tried to install the 4 in 1 reboot menu that Freeza made for Nab, it unrooted me. Or at least it made Superuser think it didn't have any binaries, and therefore, was acting like it was unrooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I grabbed the 4x1 reboot menu from Josh's site, designed for NABD, didn't bust root at all.

Flashing this on NC5 DeOdex does work and won't break root (DeOdex only),

[MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], Thinking about taking the plunge to NC5, and have read your instructions for getting there just a page or two back, but have a question or two. If I'm already on NAB...presently running sacs V3 rooted custom ROM....do I need to do ALL of those steps or could I, for example, just start at Step 2 and start flashing the NC5 and then the NC5D flashables from my current custom recovery, then just flash this ROM? Any help on clarifying the process for those on custom recovery and NAB ROMs I guess is what I'm asking :)

TIA!!

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

I've found that on a couple of occasions, in addition to trying that Playstore app that Micmars suggested, I also had to manually do some platform.xml tweaks. Instructions for the edits are here:

http://support.solidexplorer.pl/responses/kit-kat-442-issue

The top post has the code snippet. Basically though, you open the platform.xml file in your favorite test editor, locate the section, and ADD in the highlighted line. Back it up first of course, then once edits are in place, reboot and profit!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Have to Be Official...

For now, since there is no tar for NC5(D), the steps listed assume you are coming from a custom rom or have recovery and root (equivalent circumstances for our purposes). I am sure that shortcuts are out there, but I know of none that a basic or intermediate user would just dive right in and imbibe.

If you go hit the leak discussion thread, Omar described as swifter route, but he still used the update zips, still had to factory reset, and it probably saves 20 minutes.

I hope this helps.

Gotcha...just going to do the full routine as you describe...I'm in no big hurry I guess, and would rather take the tried and true path I suppose. One click is flash the NAB full restore as I type this actually. Will write back once I'm completely done to update on my progress.

THANKS!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrofeoSC:
Yes I have. I solved the backup pro problem by moving the backup files to internal storage??????????????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gack69:
Worked like a charm! I did have to run the one-click NAB twice to get it to read OFFICIAL, but from there, was smooth sailing. Once updated to NC5D, I enabled wifi calling via sprints self serve feature on the phone, it connected fine to my home wifi. No errors, but didn't test it out...went straight into TWRP to make a backup of this "virgin" state, and am now flashing this ROM from freeza and will completely set it up this time and fully test features.

Excellent guide sir!

Thanks for the get to CN5d TUT micmars, and for the screen of the new wallpaper..Lol..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Absolument, mon ami. A lot of work went into that wallpaper.

I think all using the tutorial should go from a virginal state immediately into recovery, inject root, and back it up.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KEYofR:
I tried flashing the directly to nc5 from a rooted mj4, and it looked like it all worked. I used Odin 3.09 to flash the nc5d engineering bootloader, the nc5 baseband firmware and the 4.4bl version of twrp 2.7.0.1. That all worked, the phone booted right up into twrp. Then used twrp to flash the full nc5 deodex zip (not an upgrade zip). And that seemed to work too, the system booted right up.

Got through the initial setup and play store started automatically downloading all my old apps. But the phone locked up after a few minutes. Had to pull battery to reboot. The phone would always lock up after a minute or five of uptime no matter even if it was just idle, not trying to download apps or anything. I tried many times but it never got any better.

Then I found this thread and followed micmar's recipe from a couple pages back.

No more lockups. Everything works perfect.

So, I don't know what magical thing happens by starting from the nab all in one tar and then upgrading through the stages to nc5, but Now I have the same nc5d deodex OS, nc5 engineering bootloader, nc5 baseband, twrp 2.7.0.1-4.4bl, only now it all works perfect with no lockups.

Thank you micmar

I did NOT have to flash nab twice to get it to say official. I just had to to factory reset from the settings menu and reboot. Then it said official.

Note, I might not have even had to do that, because after rebooting, it did still say custom for a few seconds at first, then it said scanning or updating or something like that, then it said official, something like almost a minute after reboot. Maybe all I needed to do was wait a minute the first time and not even do the factory reset and reboot.

I DID have to manually flash a supersu zip from twrp to get a working root. After following all the recipe steps,including saying yes when twrp offered to automatically inject su the first time, I still did not have a working root. At least, both titanium and supersu pro apps complained that they couldn't find or fix root. So I downloaded the supersu 1.94 zip file and flashed it in twrp and after that everything else worked as normal, busybox, titanium, supersu, es explorer, system tuner, etc... no problems.

Also I used Odin 3.09 for all of this, it worked fine.

Thanks again.

Let me rephrase. I'm on NC5 BB with stock rooted MJ4. I hate flashing roms when it ends up with me starting fresh Lol

The only reason I want this update is for the WiFi calling. I have no signal inside of my store at all. Once I step outside I have LTE. I miss a lot of calls due to no signal in my store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
OK...

OK, to obtain WiFi calling as implemented in NC5(D), you will need to upgrade your entire build to NC5(D), not just your baseband. Instructions and files needed to do so are in post 1586, as you rightly noted.

Please let me know if this answers your question.

See above, post 1586 in this thread contains a set of instructions to upgrade to NC5(D).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Boogeyman45:
This guy helped me out a couple days ago. (Thanks) I was a bit perplexed on updating. Then MicMars put a guide up. Superb people all around!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KEYofR:
Update, I also had to edit /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to get titanium and my backup pro and es file explorer to work with the external sd card.

Mybackup wouldn't even *read* it's own directory it had previously created itself.

Es file explorer couldn't rename a file.

Before the edit, a different file explorer called x-plore worked even when ES didn't. I guess it's written to be kitkat 4.4.2 aware and specifically requests becessary new permissions.

After the edit, no problem. All the old apps worked as before.

Can I use latest Bootloader(NC5) with NAB(D) ROM?

The one click bootloader that I found was for NAB, (it's the same as NAB(D)?) So I downloaded it.

I'm downloading NAB(D) because that's the one I found with the hotspot mod.

Or

There's on anyplace the hotspot mod for NC5?

I just need stock with hotspot, but as I don't own the device I'm really lost.

Yeah it was definitely something with the theme I was running. I uninstalled the beast mode kernel and it still drained like crazy with that theme. When I ran fre3 rom it had super battery life too and that has the beast mode kernel in it as well so definitely not the kernel draining it.
