Not really, some users reported about samsung syncing, white gallery issue and AOD blinking for no reason.

So far, the N7 port is more like an upgrade than the N5 port. Battery consumption on 2.5 is ridiculous. As for N7, it is a little bit better after you charge it overnight and tweak its kernel settings through kernel adiutor. Hop onto the N7 thread and see for yourself. Since both have battery drainage why not be on the latest version, right?

N5 port is okay but you cant change wallpaper directly from the Gallery app itself, since you cant do it directly you would have to goto your homescreen and do that which is a little bit annoying at times. On N7 port, you can change directly from Gallery same goes for 6.5 which is the Lollipop version from Phronesis. Currently, DL 2.0 is better than all LSS version in terms of stability, performance & battery.

Yes TWRP 2.8.7.0 hlteskt would work with N900L. It states on the website that these are the following Korea variants. (SM-N900K, SM-N900L, SM-N900S)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rajkumar3192:
i am trying install Phronesis 6.5 its works great but facing problem with lte network .. it says radio device is off when is switch on lte after that i cant able to get signal . is that rom is suitable for my mobile .. i am also in smn900k .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] goldybewon:
Hi Raj there is no problem here at all.

Did you select proper CSC when you flashed ROM.

Try to clean install of rom and choose INU CSC will solve your problem.

And make sure did you update latest BL & CP of your device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eagle:
Have you updated your bootloader and modem? Make sure they are updated. Are you in an area where it is hard to get signal / LTE? if so, try moving onto another area and check whether the problem still persist. As for radio device is off when switch to LTE, I do not know how to solve that as I am not facing those kind of issues. Ever.

CSC does not make changes nor affect anything.

How to unlock bootloader SM-N900S

Hi All,

I'm glad if you could help me. i have tried to install custom recovery(TWRP) but the error "Could not do normal reboot" appears. i guess my phone's bootloader was locked. how can i unlock this to install custom ROMS. :confused::confused:

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eagle:
You don't unlock your bootloader as it has nothing to do with locked and or unlocked bootloader as far as I know. Simply flash a kernel that is compatible with your device with the following words ; hlteskt.

The reason why it could not do normal boot was because you flashed the wrong kernel for your variant. I presumed you flashed hlteur kernel.

For Marshmallow, use LSS kernel although there is several other kernels but some are banned due to GPL related issues and or sources wasn't provided hence it is banned in XDA.

For Lollipop, use idlekernel.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AsianKitten:
thank you very much you save my life have flashed the proper twrp and kernel for my n900s mobile phone and it now works great.. cheers.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hyvahar:
Hello, if you or anyone else still reads this thread, I'd like to know how have achieved to have both LTE and phone calls work simultaneously? So, I am able to set on the "automatic" mode in radio menu (2263) but when the device connects to LTE, my signals drop and I can't make or receive phone calls anymore. Other modes work normally.

Did you fix just this by rebooting a coupe times, or did you get somwhere specific in that hidden menu? In my device, I can't see anything in 0808 menu with what the French guy got his/hers LTE working.

BTW, my phone is n900L, which might also be the reason in this as it usually goes :D

EDIT: Would it help if I managed to switch off VoLTE calls from somewhere? Yet, I have a custom rom (Phronesis Note 7 port) so do you know if there is a way to do that? Didn't see in call settings even though the rom is straightly compatible with my variant

Hope someone will still see this, and thanks!

Please guys help

It seems like no one answered this question huh.. this is the same exact problem I am having right now, I have rooted and customized everything already, flashed every Custom Rom available but still is failed to make that *143# ussd code work, we just don't have any idea what to tweak in the system in regards network.. this is frustrating
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eagle:
Same here, USSD codes doesn't work on my SM-N900K because there is no Sim toolkit on my phone. This issue had been going around for years without a definitive reason.

Same exact issue

Seems like no one answered this question huh. I am experiencing the same exact problem with my N900K, I tried everything already from formatting the phone, installing several custom roms but no good, still the same invalid USSD MMI code issue. Is anybody there that could help us fix this issue by tweaking some system info in regards network to solve this?

Please help, kinda frustrating situation already :(

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

Yah I think so as well, but I know there would always be a way to solve this, if the phone is rooted we can always tweak and do something about the system properties to solve some korean networking problem there, it is just that I don't have any idea where to start :crying: and it seems like no one knows yet how to fix this issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Eagle:
In which country are you using this phone at? I am sure that N900K won't work out of Korea when it comes to an "other country carrier USSD code". Reason why I am trying to dial a USSD number is to open up a menu where it would show you whether you want to check your balance or buy a prepaid plan. This number does works on other phones which are based off of international.

Developers and users have not found an definitive answer or reason to this. It's related to the radios,manifest etc. The "Connection problem or invalid MMI code had been going around for years on several non-international phones or a carrier-specific phones if you know what I mean. SM-N900K is probably based of a carrier in Korea and they've probably not utilize this phone to work for other carriers in other countries.

I might probably just buy another phone that is for my country instead of owning another phone that are only to work on other country.

For me the only problem that bothers me is not able to open up the prepaid menu and as for you, you are trying to open up the 'promo' menu. By opening up the prepaid menu, I'll get to top-up, buy a data plan, check my balance. Which is a very important thing for me and that bothers me not able to open up the menu.

SKT network is fairly standard, so there should not be any particular problems. Which firmware are you on now, and why isn't Korea available for you -- I believe SKT has recently been one of the first networks to roll out updates for the Note 3.

Depends on which ROM version you are on. For JB 4.3, there does not seem to be much difference between n900s and n9005. For KK 4.4, the situation is still unclear so no one can tell you if the radio will be compatible or not.

Which network type are you trying to use? N900S should support WCDMA fairly well, is that not an option for you?

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Additional update:

There's been some good news recently. The Korean devs have been working hard and have now successfully booted CM-based ROMs on the n900s and n900k on the Korean KK 4.4 bootloader.

The first ROMs for testing should become available over the next couple of days.

The situation for n900l is still unclear. Certainly, if you are on the LGU+ network you will not be able to run custom ROMs (unless you can live without any voice calling).

I will update this thread again after the first downloads have become available.

What is weird about the phone is that I can't find the firmware located anywhere on Google. Also, the corners of this phone are sharp, not curved/rounded like all other models.

I currently am running 4.3. If I flash a CM KitKat rom, I should be good to go because the bootloader is irrelevant for CM? I know with some ROMs I would need to flash a stock KitKat rom. With CM, I can jump directly from 4.3 to KitKat?

Thanks for your help.

Also, what do you think would happen if I flashed an m900s kernel or rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jisoo:
CWM has very little to do with what network you are using. The update may have also changed your bootloader so the CWM may not be compatible, though. But I cannot tell you if this is the case...

CM KK ROM should be flashable on a 4.3 bootloader, but you may need to make some small changes to the updater-script to force it to copy the correct network files. The suggestion I've seen is to add:

to the last part of the updater-script. If you are on a KT model, you need to use N900K instead of N900S. The idea is basically to force the install script to copy over the same files it would do for the N9005 because the modems are identical.

Below is a dowload link to a modified version of the latest CM-Temasek ROM for the Korean KK bootloaders. I've literally just installed it myself on my SM-N900K (NAC bootloader) and am still playing around to check everything works.

The differences between this and "standard" temasek is a modified boot.img which supports our KK bootloaders. All thanks go to the great work done by two Korean devs (arter97 and Sleepy), who have been working day and night on this for the past week and have very graciously shared the results with us as soon as they had it working.

You will obviously need CWM or TWRP, as well as 4.4 compatible gapps. Although everything seems OK so far, the initial Google login process froze (worked fine after a reboot) and the phone seems to not connect to LTE networks out of the box (need to fiddle with the APN and other network settings).

If this breaks your phone, the responsibility is on you! This is only for the Korean KK bootloader devices, not for any other model or bootloader version! You will want to make full backups before you try this!

I'm also going to spend the next few days looking at exactly what we need to do to get this working on other ROMs, and will post my findings in this thread later on.

[edit:] there seems to be some issues with inbound calls at least on the KT models with the below ROM. The devs are looking into the situation now.

[edit2:] It seems that we are not able to receive calls if we are LTE. While the devs are looking to fix this (which might take a while and also will be difficult to apply to pre-built ROMs), the work-around is to stay on 3G only. To do this, you need to choose the 3G/HDSPA APN in the "Mobile networks" settings.

Hey guys, I am trying to see if there is any way at all to make TTA-VOLTE work on my N900S.

Another phone I have here is Redmi Note 4x (mido), which I was able to apply the popular procedure here in Korea for VOLTE treatment on non-Korean devices. That is, to connect the phone with the diag driver and use EFS explorer to manually inject the pertinent profile files in appropriate directories. The only caveat AFAIK, is that this procedure is only applicable for Snapdragon APs. Most xiaomi phones available here fall in that category, I even saw someone get this done on his asus phone.

Sadly the Note 3 I have is Exynos-based, and dudes over at matcl are adamant AOSP (or any non-NX) roms lack provisions or codes critical for TTA-VOLTE. Just wondering if some creative souls out there found ways to circumvent this. Thanks!

It is in the installer zip you would download from temasek. If you haven't done this before, I suggest you study it in Google to understand what it is and how it works.

For Google stuff, you need to install and flash gapps which are compatible with 4.4/CM-11.0. Have a look here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

Your other issues are very strange. Obviously I'm on n900k and can only talk about my past 24-hours of testing on KT, but I have not had a single issue so far (knock wood). Definitely make sure you choose the LTE APN, and that you are set to LTE/GSM (or LTE/WCDMA/GSM) in your phone settings (dial *#*#4636#*#* and pick "Phone information").

I'll keep an eye out on reports from other SKT users to see if this is a wider issue and someone makes a fix for it.

Here's a link (remember this is wholly untested by me): 4.3BL-n900s-cm-11-20140225-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-hlte-V49.zip - 218.59 MB

FYI, I only made two modifications to the updater-script (located in META-INF/com/google/android within the zip).

First was to add "hlteskt" to the assert command (which checks that the ROM is meant for the device you are trying to flash it in).

Second was to add SM-N900S and SM-N900K to the final part where the script figures out which telephony binaries it should use. This addition makes it so you get the same binaries as the international (N9005) models get which seem to work fine on the Korean models as well.

The kernel and everything else is unchanged (though you should never trust a random guy on the internet...)

Could you please advise me your KT APN settings? I'd like to check it with mine.
