Hes having a bad day.. It happens to all of us.

I go through the same thing when I run into issues, especially when I work IT and have 100 calls a day of people asking questions I already answered for them in an email a few days ago.

People don't read.

If you look at the Jellybomb for the note 2 thread, it turned into a 20,000 page thread.. so nobody COULD read it, especially since it was new. Josh really needs his own forum or sub-forum here. He cant answer everything himself, it becomes overwhelming, especially when all you he doing is trying to help and keeps getting negative feedback over and over ( with some "how do i root") type questions stuck in the middle.

There needs to be an easier way to weed out the issues and keep things organized, so he can do what he wants, and not be bothered. With this community i think the people here can take care of that fine, its just the forum structure makes it a little difficult.

Think of it like a business..

You have a customer, taken care of by the sales rep, who reports to the assistant mgr, then the manager, then the District/regional mgr, then to operations, and then a VP. Customers dont get to call the CEO directly with every little question.

I dont know Josh, but just by the tone of his post, and seeing all he has done in the last year here, i can pretty much relate to thats probably how he feels right now.. becuase thats how I would have reacted.

Please look at other threads, other phones, common basic troubleshooting before posting.

Always NANDROID aka Back up EVERYTHING in twrp twice, including EVERYTHING.. Data, sytem, Efs, Storage, Recovery.. copy it to another card and put it on your computer so you have a back up of the backup.

When installing a rom always wipe data and system, and go back and do it 2-3x more times before installing any zips

Make sure your zips are MD5 verified.. theres plenty of threads here on how to do that

Make sure you are rooted properly.. once again plenty of threads...

Wait until you can RULE OUT EVERYTHING ELSE before posting a question.

Ive been here for 3+ years, I have a very tiny post count because thats what I usually force myself to do before posting issues or bugs.

Thank you Josh for your ability to release the only rom for this phone still, if you need to take a few weeks off then go for it, I know I don't mind.

Just trying to post another way of thinking about it...

I've said it before so I'll freshen it up right here. This community is here to help people but unlike Yahoo Answers you don't get to get away with "what color is blue" post and expect to get anything but flak. There is a reason that the first step to getting help on XDA is self-help. That step is there to protect stupid from looking stupid online. It's too easy to get stupid apparently and I expect no apologies as JB was saying what I was thinking which I thought he did friendlier than I would have. Searching is easy and if you don't keep up with a thread it's required! I think it's gotten soft here on XDA, back in the EVO days they would light you up in a thread for 60% of the post in this one. Comes down to this, if your not stupid you can't be offended by the comments and if you are you wouldn't know it anyway, ignorance is bliss!

This Note 3 thread just isn't what he or I am used to, the Note 2 thread has come into its own and you just wouldn't see all the fouls you do here, repeatedly, I digress....

Edit: Maybe my memory of the Note 2 is a little skewed it just seems like a whole lot of new blood, which is good, that haven't gotten acquainted with how things should be.

Search goes for everything, search first. After that you have to read what you find. Letter by letter, word by word, you know, reading!

I'm StevetotheH and I approve this message.

Mine says unable to mount all the time even if I'm just wiping delvic and cache. But everything still flashes. Idk

Did you ever figure out how to install ver 2 w/o having the usb unable to unmount come up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] claude9039u:
I got the ODIN tar file here from JB's link.

I have to say I have been around on this site for several years and I do a search before I ask a question. One thing for sure there seems to be a lack of helping as there once was! I did everything as directed I have a problem and now I ask for help and just get told basically to fly a kite. I have been searching and searching since this issued happened trying to figure it out on my own and only when the search produces nothing I ask for help. Either way I will keep on searching for an answer in the mean time if anyone wants to help then please do. If you don't want to help then please just past my post by. Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naddict:
Hey all, thread cleaned a little...some good points have been made in the last page or two, use of search is expected and you agreed to do so when you accepted membership.

Also, there really is no need to post 4 or 5 of the same posts about the same problem, I am sure Josh gets the hint. And ALWAYS be respectful and helpful with and to others, there really is no need for "copping an attitude" for those who are confused and desperate for knowledge. You can either help them, or ignore their posts, or even report them for a moderator to come in if necessary, being snarky does nothing but create flotsam and jetsam and certainly clogs threads with unimportant stuff.

I am always nearby, hit me if you ever need anything.

I'm loving the Rom only gets better from here!!!

Nothing going wrong for me except reboot when uninstalling an app but don't need to do that since I have what I need...I'll survive until next update thanks Josh!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
By any chance is anyone that dodnt update to mj4 testing this latest beta 3?

Im starting to wonder if the latest firmware isnt allowing proper permissions when installing a non stock rom... we had no issues in ver 1. But everyone was mi3 or mi5...

Ive pulled in the big guns.. got some top notcj devs assisting me right now... might have to take a different approach to get this rom working for you guys.

I have all mods fully working on my phone... but if I package it up and flash. I get the same bs bugs... I really dont think theres any rom issues but either firmware recovery or installer script issues...

Anyone thats tested this rom on mi5 firmware please report if the roms working. Specifically if they can uninstall apps, or get into settings/security.

To be continued..

Hey Josh first off thank you for everything believe me your work and expertise is very appreciated as you are the expert and creator and we are like children on during Christmas waiting for a new gift....Anyways I am on M15 firmware and have flashed the newest build and yes trying to get into security settings keeps crashing constantly and not sure why but when trying to download Titanium Backup app from the Play Store, it says the device has insufficient storage and unable to download but I have over 21GB of memory internally and this is the only app that is doing this. I hope this helps a little bit....the rest of the ROM is cream cheese bro, thank you again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 00_MACKIE_00:
hmmm interesting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] insane209:
Ive even tried unistalling an app using rom toolbox and no go....other than that its working fine i dnt mind having extra apps right now...packing 32 gigs on board anyway :D! O and also batt icon isnt showing...currently using percentage display....keep up the good work Josh A+!

Follwing since JB ver 1.0 Note 2

I was on Mi5 and Jellybomb Ver1.0. Did a full backup. Flashed back to stock. Updated to Mj4. Then restored from backup. I haven't noticed any difference from Mi5. Runs exactly the same. I was having issues with galaxy gear manager that is gone now. Flashing Version 3 now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
Thanks for feedback. To confirm what firmware are you currently on? Mi5?

icant set u my lockscreen any help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] claude9039u:
Help please.

I was on JB rom and updated to the new beta test rom and the following happened.

I installed 2.0.0 Beta on phone not storage card. I then made a back up before I flashed the rom then wiped cache, dalvic cache and system three times. I then installed rom, it booted up to my unlock pattern screen.

Now here is the problem every time I put in my unlock pattern the phone goes black comes back on to the unlock pattern screen again? I must have put in my unlock pattern 10 times and 10 times it goes black and starts up in the unlock screen. This does not appear to be a reboot more like a small shut down? I pulled battery same thing, I reinstalled 2.0.0 Beta, same thing.

So I restored my backup and the phone now goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Pulled the battery twice and same thing happened will not go pass the boot up Samsung screen and tone.

So I then go to recovery wipe everything Cache, dalvic, data and system. Restore the back up again and the phone does the same thing goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Keep just doing this pattern?

I then tried to restore to stock using ODIN and installed N900PVPUBMI5_N900PSPTBMI5_N900PVPUBMI5_HOME.tar.m d5 from JB's file and I get a fail each time?

I then downloaded KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI3-1378528567.tar and it installed passed but now I am stuck in the Samsung boot loader screen?

I have searched and searched but can't find anything else to try so I guess if I can't get help or direction here the phone is bricked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
Phones not bricked. You have corrupt data

Its only bricked ig u cant get in download mode.

Try wiping data, system, cache and dalvic cache. then flash either official jellybomb ver. 1 or stock mj4 rom by freeza.

You cant go backwards from mj4 to older firmware... I dont believe...

Ok. How do you expect help if you dont give us any info to help you...

What do u want us to tell you to do???

Guys. If you have a bug... THAT ISNT MENTIONED... please give us the followong so we can assist you...

What rom are u on?

What firmware are you on?

What is the steps you took to get to the state you are in now..?

Did you wipe data?

Did you wipe system?

Did you wipe any caches?

Any future posts lacking necessary info listed above thats needed to help diagnose your problem... I will simply ignore...

Also for any noob questions... please dont post in this thread... go to the q and a thread...link is listed in O/P.

Its very difficult and time consuming reading through pages of the same questions. Without the info needed to properly assist you with your problems...

I think my time is best spent getting a stable release out... instead of spending it as a tech support guy... thanks...

I just wanted to make it clear that the problems I was having flashing JB Rom was not ROM related.. I couldn't flash anything..

I'm really enjoying your Rom Josh and wanted to say thanks for all the hard work..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
Right on... its a pita to work round the clock for days.. to see some end user not even take the time to get caught up in the thread before posting. Or to search for the answer before asking...

If I spend days working on a project. And I share it with you... and u cant even take 10 minutes to look for the answer then shame on you. Its frusterating... and it seems most users just assume ask a basic question in a development thread... theres a q&a thread for a reason... we need to keep the xevelopment thread to bug related posts and development related questions.. otherwise im just wasting my time here...

It would be really nice to get some contributors here to help out... and maybe offer up some more mods themes etc. I can only do so much... its not like this is my job or I get paid for this... lol its just a hobby...

This is a dev db thread... maybe we should report bugs in the bugs tab.... that way the same bug isnt posted a gazillion times... its frusterating to hear people keep saying the same bugs for pages pages and pages. And its clear that nobody is reading these posts and pages but me.. since the same questions and bugs are being reported and asked.

if you see a bug has been mentioned... trust me. Ill investigate it.. no need to post that something isnt working if its mentioned already... I read every single post in this thread..

Thats exactly the part thats annoying... pages of the same bug report is counter productive, and annoying....

Lets keep the reports of the same bugs minimal.

Also those that did report bugs were not clear what firmware they were on... or their install process/method.. if I dont know what they did. How can I fix or replicate the issues.?

Thanks JB here is where I am.

Since I installed KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI5-1379320673.tar I have a stock recovery so I ODIN'ed CF-Auto_root and then openrecovery-twrp. This gave me TWRP 2.6.3.7 and from there I wiped data, system cashe and dalvic cache. I then rerooted. TWRP told me I had no OS installed are you sure I said yes. TWRP then says your device does not appear to be rooted?? I then go back into TWRP and flash JB ver 1.0.0. It says install busybpx install kernel done updateing partition details... E: unable to mount '/usbstorage"

Successful so I then reboot system.

I get samsung screen and song that goes black and I get samsung note 3 screen and music. Screen goes black and it keeps on repeating itself?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
Ok. Lots of errors to your process there.. no need to do some of the steps.

So do this... if u have working twrp.

Factory reset in twrp.

Then install mj4 stock rom. And let it boot

downloaded Version 2 beta 3. Complete Nandroid. I was on beta 1 Mj4 so I did a complete Nandroid. Wiped Davlik and Cache only 2x. Flashed Beta 3. Everything went smooth. booted quickly. Tested every app I use on a daily basis. I am a contractor so my phone is my business. Everything I need has to work. Gmail, Text, Browser, Paypal, Hulu (including casting), pulse, phone, pandora, dropbox, iheart radio, fbook, messenger, maps, tune in radio, rom manager, gear manager, all work. I don't use anything else. I do see the issue with security in settings. It crashes when trying to open. I don't need it anyway. just checked due to other posts. Love the new themeing especially the phone. Thanks Josh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] 00_MACKIE_00:
I get it man, after looking over the last few days of posts, I did see a few people that needed to take their problems to another thread.

By the way, dirty flashed beta 3 with wiping caches first and only thing I see is the security/settings FC.

MJ4 all the way around

Thanks!

Hey Josh. I really do love your work and since doing it is way above my head I totally respect it. I understand your frustration as well and I am sorry if I added to it earlier today. Since you mentioned it....why isn't the Bug Report tab used? Seems today we a perfect example of how out of control it can get for you and everyone else and it would be the "perfect tool" to at least keep the bug report centralized for you and for everyone else. Just my two cents for what its worth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshBeach:
Im starting to think its something in the install process... either updater script or something in recovery isnt working properly... I have it working on my phone by pushing files trough adb... no issues at all. So thats why I think its something in the zip.. maybe corrupt lib file or something??? I dunno.

Great question. I think the reason is the bug tab isnt supported in any mobile app.. at least none that im aware of. Most users just post from their phone without searching or reading anything. Hence all the dumb repeat questions and worthess posts.

I wish we used the bug tab. It would make my life alot easier for sure... thats why I use devdb threads... :)

Jeez. Its useless posts like this that really get under my skin.. if u cant take the time to read... why should I take the time to build this rom..

you know what bro you don't have to be a freaking **** about it! I don't use these forums very much I know how to flash roms I know how to root my phone and I know how to do a lot of stuff on my phone but I don't know how to use these forms all that well I looked all around and didn't see anything that mentioned it earlier today therefore I just posted something as a reply to your thread about your ROM. Don't worry I won't install your ROM EVER AGAIN. oh yeah by the way I have donated to you twice. Much to my shame. Try having somepatience

While flashing I did notice that it did not find MD5 file. In the end it says that it was a successful install. It rebooted did its thing, got to andriod upgrading and rebooted. Samsung screen song and got a process system isn't responding and it rebooted again doing the same thing?

I am complety loss!

For the ppl having issues with your lockscreen theres tons of free lockscreen apps...use those for now..or go back to Ver. 1...easy as wipping delvic cache & cache, and reinstalling ver. 1
