Once rooted download android wifi tether.

I used Mybackup Pro to pull my jellybomb tether apk+ data from my note 2 to my note 3 and it worked.

I already had settings from a working phone copied, however if you dont have a note 2 to port over, you should be able to just get this app and make it work https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Just make sure you hit menu and install binaries. ( and be rooted)

I spent a ton of time trying to get my dpi back to 320 after installing the deodexed rom, but figured it out.

Originally Luckypatcher didnt work, but xposed did...Half of rom toolbox worked, the other half didn't..adblocker and hosts is what im going to try to verify next.

I had all kinds of issues with Xposed 2.2. Found Xposed 2.3 and installed freeza's deodexed stock rom dirty whenever the phone would boot freeze. Finally after trying a bunch of apps im starting to find what works from what as far as these "modding tools" go.

I got it working now the way i want it and started using Xposed modules and testing things out.

Running 320DPI and doing alot of visual tweaks. So far the statusbar mods work, and most of xblast tools work except the power menu.

Im just trying to mod my stock rom to get the "favorite root" apps all working with a dark theme and blue icons.

Was a huge fan of Jellybombed on the note 2, so the more i play with the individual apks and install the ones i liked one by one, the more I'm learning how to "port" a ROM or create my own. I'm not a dev though, i just try to find ways to fix things for my own benefit by experimenting.I could be doing everything wrong, but if i brick my phone I can just go swap it out, so i don't recommend experimenting unless you have a backup plan so you dont end up with a $700 paperweight.

Waiting for a kernel to come out, one that has SElinux disabled.. because Selinux, and Knox will block everything you try to mod.

I froze close to 40 bloatware samsung/sprint apps, so once a tweak-able kernel comes out i think we will see alot more hacks and tricks from our peers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mrcrptguy:
Xposed is an app that requires root, it allows you to make changes to your rom easily without the need to flash the mod. Once the app is installed you can download and install its modules that make the specific changes such as call recording, multi app dpi, ect...........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ClevelandWheeler:
So I tried the wifi tether...... It broke my wifi. It will not connect to any networks now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ClevelandWheeler:
uninstalling and rebooting fixed it.

I hipe someone can answer me. Sitting here waiting for my phone planning my attack. This is the stock mi5 rom with root to Odin onto the phone correct. So I get my phone do the upgrade to mi5 Odin this than install goo manager and let it install twrp? Correct

1.) ODIN flash TWRP

2.) Do a factory wipe in TWRP

3.) Flash the ODEX or DEOXED ROM in TWRP

4.) Boot up

5.) Reboot

6.) Flash the MI5 firmware in TWRP

7.) Boot

8.) Profit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cherylbaker:
So you don't recommend just doing the upgrade? But rather use the mi5 file in the op?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
You still have to flash MI5 firmware for this to work correctly, simply flashing the ROM will probably cause bootloop

I mean the update that sprint is telling me to do first thing out of the box

I hear lots of people having problems and I do not want problems. So I want to make sure I follow the steps correctly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] utbiglall:
After many trials here's what I would do. 1. Install the update from sprint.

2. Root via cf-auto through odin

3. Install twrp through odin

4. Factory reset in recovery

5. Install the odex/deodex of your choice.

This worked for me to get mi5 to stick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
^this. I should have specified because this is what I did. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] halmo20:
Rooted with TWRP.

Installed odexed rom then firmware.

build number shows MI5 but Software and Baseband still MI3.... Flashed firmware couple more time but still same... Do I have to wipe for firmware and modem to stick?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've encountered, but if you're running thus rom after you've flashed the full tar file (ie, you have a KitKat bootloader) or received the OTA update, flashed superuser and recovery, then it's factory reset time. You'll get your card back.

I also can't write to the external SD card. I've now gone through the entire process several times, and the most recent time I followed jivany's steps exactly, and my SD is still not writeable.

I'm going to verify this the next time I go through the process, but I'm pretty sure the card was writeable after the stage of rooting the stock tar. But then after flashing the Stockish ROM, it's not writeable anymore.

Any other suggestions? Is the SecureStorageFalseMJ4 supposed to be a fix for non-writeable SD cards?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
No Changes Like That of Which I Am Aware...

I am unaware of the edit to which you are referring, but I only replaced this Platform.xml file with the one in system/etc/permissions, renamed the old one, fixed permissions, rebooted. Now, I use my internal storage for full backups, and my external for all media-related items, and Titanium Backup. This fixed that. I changed nothing in this file, as it was given to me by [MENTION=3920408]blackcanopy[/MENTION]. However, it employs the addition of lines to external media read/write privilages, and nothing I remember about secure storage set to false or true. This may be why I am unaware of any issues using TWRP for backups, since I don't use my external for that.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

Does that mean that we can use themes from the other Note 3 forums???

How did you get extra columns on your home page???

Thanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
I've been able to successfully backup to the external SD after editing the platform.xml file, but typically backup to the internal simply because it's faster(both backup and restore) , and more likely the most "reliable" way. If I'm about to do something "stupid" I'll take the time to backup to both internal and external... Just in case a heart dropping event occurs that wipes my internal SD... Yes, that has happened.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Yup, just choose wisely. Look for words like "universal," and of course, "KitKat." Not everything looks like the photos in a particular OP, as our phones aren't quite the same as the other variants.

When downloading a mod, unzip first, look for a folder labeled vrtheme, and make sure that no other files, and I mean none, other than png files, reside in every folder. No xml and no classes dex. I'd hate to see your lose your dialer over a nice looking mod. Note, the bobcat themes seem quite popular, but they are heavily themed. They look great, but you'll lose about 100MB in the process from your system partition, but you have plenty to spare.

As to the extra columns, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm using Nova Prime if that helps.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm seeing posts about different problems and mixing them up.

My basic problem has nothing to do with TWRP. After going through the entire process of installing odex Stockish NABD, I can't write to the external SD card. Titanium Backup reports the backup directory is not-writeable, and if I try to create or delete a folder on the external SD in Astro, it fails.

(Though interestingly, I can create folders on the external SD from the stock My Files app.)

I assume I'm having the same problem as others in this thread that report apps giving errors about not enough space or not being able to write files.

So just to be clear, is the platform.xml file the fix that I'm looking for for my problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
Yes.... However, it won't fix the twrp write problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Yup.

Has anybody ran into the problem of the phone app not closing in the notification shade and taskbar? After hanging up after a call it just get stuck there. The only way that I found to clear it is rebooting the whole phone or force stopping the app in the app settings. Never seen that happen before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jelucas30:
Yeah, I know you can use it in-call. But when I hang up from the call it just stays there and won't go away. It used to just clear on it's own before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
I am random issues with screen not turning on automatically when a call is ringing. I sometimes have to hit the power button to wake the screen to answer the call.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kennedy808:
I had odex NABD Stockish installed, but went through the entire installation process a few more times to try to solve the non-writeable SD card issue.

Now I'm trying to install it again, and now I get stuck at flashing the NAB to NABD zip. In the stock recovery it starts flashing and then it hangs at something modem.bin. I also tried waiting until after flashing TWRP, but it fails immediately there.

Any suggestions, other than just not worrying about the NABD version of Stockish and just using the NAB one instead?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
I believe NAB to NABD is done thru Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kennedy808:
Edit: This is the instruction I'm trying to follow:

Now, copy that NAB to NABD file I flipped you onto your external SD card, power off your phone, then boot into stock recovery (Volume Up + Home + Power). Navigate using the volume up/down keys to "update zip from external storage" and go to that file, and flash it straight from the phone, then reboot.

It worked the first few times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
I could be wrong. I'd suggest going to that OP in the general forum to be sure. I'm going off memory alone and is past bed time.. :thumbup::)

Still running the NABD leak, too busy to reflash. I solved my non transparent taskbar issue, it was tinted taskbar mod for xposed. On 4.3 it detected the transparent taskbar in apex launcher but I had to make the color ff000000 to get it transparent. Only problems I'm consistently facing on the leak is email not deleting from IMAP server and the stupid touchwiz calendar reactivating notices upon restart. I use the Google calendar instead of the tw and I've never had this issue with 4.3. I guess eventually I'll flash over to the "official" NABD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zeroempathy:
I didn't get a chance to thank you Friday because I had to run off. I'm am running NABD now and my phone is no longer freezing every 10 seconds. You saved me from having a brick all weekend.

The engineering tar you had me download is modemNA4.tar

is that correct? That's the unlocked bootloader? how is different from that NAB engineering tar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
If I gave you the NA4 bootloader, don't use it. Use the NAB engineering bootloader only.

Flash at your leisure, grab from that thread.

Glad you checked. I can't believe I'd link the wrong file. Oh well.

Just checked my links, and you're correct, I sure did link the older bootloader. I am sorry about that.

Good luck!

I was able to use the One-Click NAB full restore by [MENTION=4513677]rwilco12[/MENTION] and that was able to complete the upgrade to NAB without any issues. Since it is based off [MENTION=1381115]Frezza[/MENTION]'s work, I must have just had a corrupted download file. (At least that is my guess.) Thanks guys.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GAPO:
I fkashed it thru stock recovery and it worked fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
In the op under the spoiler there is a fix you can do to fix the wifi. It was for MJ4 but it still works. Although you have to manually do the edits. As far as the sd there is another fix for that here post #4 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50528448

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] christianrance:
Thanks. I've used this TAR already and then flashed TWRP but after flashing SuperSU in TWRP (with multiple successful confirmations) there's no SuperSU app and I do not have root. I've also tried 3 different versions of the SuperSU zip.

I was hoping that flashing the rooted NAB (no KNOX) would solve this problem. I've had and rooted at least 10 different Android phones over the years and have yet to run into this problem so I'm really a loss for what to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aburns7487:
I totally understand. It took me a bunch of hours to finally get the NAB modem to stick. I odin'd seemingly all day. Cf - auto root may help. I tried and thought twrp would do the same but I too had no root. You could also try philz just to wipe and setup then reodin twrp....it's definitely a learning experience.

I would personally run the rwilco repack then just flash the deodox or odex stockish NABD posted in OP.

UPDATE: After flashing full NAB Restore TAR from RWilco, letting it reboot, then immediately returning to DL Mode and using the CF-Auto-Root for the N9005, I have full root.

Forgive me for interrupting your 1 on 1 but I'm hoping you can set me straight on something. I noticed in your reply you advised micmars to " just grab the right recovery, and you'll be all set."

Is their a wrong version of twrp to use with 4.4.2?

I ask because I:

Odin'd N900PVPUCNAB_N900PSPTCNAB_N900PVPUCNAB_HOME.tar.md5

Odin'd CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5

and

Odin'd openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.7-hltespr.img.tar

The ROM and Root Odin'd successfully but no matter how often I try and can't get the custom recovery to work.

When I press volume Up, Menu, and Power it will start to load the recovery (I'll see recovery booting in blue) but then it will just boot to the ROM. Same thing if try reboot recovery in GooManager.

Which leads me back to, I know it unlikely but, is there a wrong version of twrp? If not, do you have any suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blackcanopy:
Just make sure the recovery you are using says it's for the 4.4BL because you are using a 4.4 (KitKat) bootloader. If I remember correct, 2.6.3.7 is a 4.3BL (jellybean) recovery.

This is the one I'm using on KitKat 4.4BL it's 2.6.3.8 TWRP

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
No...

Nope; just flash the DeOdex ROM, then flash the NAB Engineering bootloader (it's NOT NABD) takes like 10 seconds to flash, does not affect anything on this ROM.

I flashed RWilco12's stock NAB bootloader for testing purposes on this ROM just this afternoon, and flashed back to the unlocked version in again, 10 seconds.

Please understand that this ROM assumes you have a bootloader, it doesn't give you one, nor does it replace it. You flash system files on top of the bootloader that is already put there by the full NAB/NABD tar file of choice.
