A couple of issues...

1. The signal goes to 0 and the data connection drops randomly (and I get that circle thing with the slash in it...)

2. The phone will ring and not show ANYTHING. Bluetooth rings but NO DISPLAY on the phone. Weird...

I did wipe the cache to see if it will help...

Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Is it RCB thats causing it? Because I have that installed also. Hmmm. I will shut the service down and see what happens...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] 760hacker:
Did you remove or freeze magazinehome.apk?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sleevasteve:
Are you using Xposed? If so do you have the full screen caller ID module enabled? I've seen that cause the black screen when the phone rings in other instances. Just figured I'd throw it out there. Wonder if Xposed in general has anything to do with these random occurrences, such as the signal loss etc.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaydubb71:
Actually I don't have it installed. Kinda afraid to install it since I can't do a nandroid backup. Are you all backing up or will it be ok?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] bulsara:
Yup it's cuz of RCB...I removed it couple of days ago and no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaydubb71:
Yeah... Some people are reporting issues in the rcb group... they are working on a fix
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gtlifter:
But their is a method that uses CWM, it just triggers Knox i believe... which i get trying to avoid but has anyone ever actually been declined a warranty claim by their phone carrier or mfr because they turned in a rooted phone that was broken?

The download from Android File Host is still not working correctly. The file size is too small. The one from the youtube videos Google Drive seems to un-7zip? correctly. You may want to not point ppl to Android File Host.

Is flashing or "Unrooting" confirmed? Like if I had a part break within a year could I go back to complete stock with the unlock symbol off the initial boot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] K0BALT:
Thank you very much. This worked flawlessly when following the directions step by step. :good:

ALSO, I did what someone suggested and downloaded the file via the Mega app, then transferred it to my PC. This was the only way it would work for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] thecolorsduke:
I had it frozen. Still had the FC issue after defrosting. I re-Odin last night, which resolved the issue. I will freeze some apps again tonight excluding the magazinehome apk and report back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] crcpeach:
I recently got a replacement for my rooted Note 2. I was passing it down to my dil and wanted to restore to factory default. Something went wrong and it bricked (I've been rooting forever and never had that happen). Called VZW and said it was dead - they replaced it with no problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gadgetfl:
As a result of troubleshooting here's what I found out. I have two accounts installed on my stock email app. I have the mymagazine app frozen. Everytime I receive a new email to either account, when email app is running in the background (Important), then when I try to open the email I get a force close. This is a recreateable error. I tested by just sending an email from one account to the other.

Everytime I unfreeze the mymagazine app , the email force close seems to go away. I did not have to reboot for this to work. But I did have to re launch mymagazine app in the background then was able to force close it.

I am going to continue to troubleshoot this to see why the mymagazine app interferes.

Will a factory reset break root, or will I be able to download Super User from the Play Store and be OK?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DiGiCouSTiC:
It shouldn't matter since the su app is flashed to the system partition. It won't go away with a factory reset.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] thecolorsduke:
I froze the same apps as before excluding the 2 magazine apks and have had no issues with my email force closing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BossJ:
So this is a new one for me... I factory reset, after taking root.. and I had xposed and stuff installed.. I changed my DPI prior to the factory reset,

well when I factory reset. It kept my DPI changes...

Is this normal?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] BossJ:
I'm retarded: I'm so used to change ROMs and wiping system and everything else... I know why DPI was saved... I'm stupid :/

hey guys, i try to put att sim into my note 3. It will pop up -non Verizon sim insert. rooting the phone allows sim unlock?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] jaydubb71:
Hey guys... RCB update 2.1.3.11 is working properly...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] magnum870:
Uh.........AT&T is GSM. Verizon is CDMA. They use completely different bands. It ain't gonna work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Pika007:
The note 3 is generally a GSM device as well, and the verizon version is no different.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DutchDogg54:
It may have GSM Capabilities but it would need to be unlocked to allow for usage of those capabilities as Verizon is a CDMA company and it will only operate on CDMA out of the box.

Obviously any "world" capable phone, like the Note 3 has to be able to run on GSM but it is something that Verizon changes on their end to allow it. I don't think you can do it yourself without high-end knowledge of this kind of thing or a Verizon rep unlocking your device for GSM usage.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Tidefan13:
Will unrooting through supersu remove custom from the bootlogo? I think I'm gonna return mine and get the dev edition.

My email crashes on a regular, periodic basis...anyone else seeing this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sawyer815:
If you've removed or frozen my magazine app,put it back. I had the same issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] crcpeach:
Thanks! Defrosted - we'll see if that corrects the problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PrettyPistol555:
REALLY hope someone here can help, as rooted Note 3's are not terribly common atm.

I tried pasting an edited build.prop (to give me onscreen buttons) over the original, and it appeared to paste successfully.

I rebooted and am now stuck at the Open Padlock screen.

1 Could someone please point me towards a copy of build.prop

2 Please tell me there is a way to push it via adb sideload

Thanks in advance...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
Just follow the same instructions that you followed to root. .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PrettyPistol555:
Well thanks, that tells me that all is not lost.

I don't suppose you would know whether there is a way to repair the damage, as i REALLY don't want to have to re-install all my apps for the 3rd time in a week (i just got the phone 2 days ago), and of course i did NOT make a Ti backup, although without a sd-card that wouldn't have done me much good in this case.

I miss custom recoveries.....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
Adb will only work if the phone boots into android. So I don't know of any other way then to re flash in odin
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DutchDogg54:
There is no other way at this point. You could try going into stock recovery and wiping cache,and then data if that doesn't work. That'd save you the time using Odin. Power + Home + Volume Up to get to recovery.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
That won't do any good as the system files have been changed
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] PrettyPistol555:
Thanks i GREATLY appreciate your answers, re-flashing now....:(

now to order an sd card, have had Nexus's, so haven't had a need since my nexus one.

People like you is the reason our bootloader is locked. For nubs that brick their device and commit insurance fraud. Just man up and pay for it...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
All u had to do was flash the pit file...

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

And to u. People pay for insurance for a reason if you're driving your car and you mess it up and it's your fault you get it fixed. That's why you pay for insurance
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Brandonrz:
It's different. And car insurance companies are crooks, none the less... but the person is no better for breaking the law. I know it's cliche but people like him are the reason Verizon adds knox and locked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] tgamer:
I'd argue that they lock it to try to gain market share with corporate users who's IT departments demand strict enterprise security like where I work instead of the relatively handful sized numberof users like us who want to mess with let alone have any background knowledge what an "unlocked bootloader" even is..

I run our America's(north, south, and now Mexico) regional IT needs and see this as a good feature for enterprise security but come on..my users had a hard time adjusting from BlackBerry, not one of them is reading xda I would bet my life on that.

Thanks for the guide!

Now lets say Google unveils KitKat here shortly and Samsung releases and OTA update for 4.4. Will we need to unroot to update the device? also how will deleting bloatware (like VZ navigator and Slacker) affect that update?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
Once google releases 4.4 it will take months for it to push to our phones via ota from samsung! As a general rule you never want to take an ota when or if we get unlocked!

If we want to update our rom after rooting, what is the right way to do it? (or just wait until big update, like KitKat)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] mikeone33:
Generally just a root can update through the normal methods although it usually will break root. I say generally because sometimes you have to unroot to update, but we will know when we get there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gunthermic:
Most will not do an update, becuase it will break root, and also the update make make it so you can't gainroot back. Always wait for dev's to say it's okay to take update and how to gain root. Case in point all those unlucky S4 users that jumped.. tooooo sooonnn....

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Harleydroid:
Have you rebooted to see if that helps?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] sublimaze:
You may have to re-root and use the Xposed module that erases Custom from the bootanimation, then Odin to stock again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
That would be a waste of time as odin wipes anything that exposed would do.. I had the same problem all I did was a facory reset in recovery, went through setup and checked device status then rebooted. Profit
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Gunthermic:
If you restore from the correct ODIN files, all that goes away. woudl be no need to unroot. So that makes me wonder what you did.. If you did a factory reset, that won't get rid of it. Flash stock ODIN files and it will be like it came out of box.

It's my understanding that Canadian hardware and network have the most in common with AT&T variants. They always seem to lump AT&T, Bell, Rogers, Telus, & Virgin together in most things I've seen....for example, this Galaxy S4 forum: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att.
