You don't get the recent apps shortcuts through holding down the home button for a longer time?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] phido007:
I do get it but I don't like to press the home button. Long press is even worse imo.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:
Oh, ok I see, all about convenience, my concern was getting rid of an annoyance, but I got a practical app at the same time that I've never heard about before. It always puts a smile on my face when that happens, like most people I love it when I get more than I bargained for.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Please check my third post about debloating. If you have more to add, please let me know, I'll adjust the post.

How do I disable the packages?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Goto app manager, all apps, select it, press turn off.

The second post says we need to flash custom roms to get root on the SC-01F. But is it even possible at the moment? All of the roms I've seen posted didn't include a japanese region build. Or am I missing something here?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You're correct. Nothing for us at this moment.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dewdropkorn:
Until we do get a root going, here is a useful thread for unlocking apps for your multi-window and pen window without having to root. I've been able to do this with most apps(ex. Line, Anki, JED, Hyperdia, Netflix) Every once in a while you come across an app that doesn't work (still working on Spotify) Considering this was one of the main reasons I wanted to root in the first place, I figured you all might be interested as well.

there is a good news,the SC-01F Source is Come Out!!!

very helpful for root and fix rom!!!:laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:
Everybody is talking about Knox, but I can't find that on the Japanese model. Wouldn't the absence make it easier to root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Firstly, Knox is there, secondly, it's not that, that stops the root.

We can put the root files in place.

I have done it. It just simply does not work.

Planing to to buy SC-01F but anyone know if I can flash other zone note 3 LTE rom to this medel or not. I don't care the warranty. just want to make it working
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Buy the international model.

They are for sale in Akihabara. They are cheaper.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Neoman:
Yes you can, but you can't just randomly flash any lte roms you want. It may brick your phone. As you can see Tapatalk thinks i'm replying from a note3 model which only sells in Hongkong, but i'm using a sc01f flashed with a modified N9006 rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Irria:
Can you describe how you flashed it and/or give a link to the rom?

Also, what benefits does it have, compared to vanilla?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Oh, I see. So DarkLord is for Lollipop only...

Sad. Really wish I found something Samsung- and KitKat-based.

As of CM, thanks! I found a working KitKat CM rom (and actually posted link to it few topics ago), as well as both 4.4/5.1 GAPPS. So, theres no problem with CM - except CM appeared to be not what I needed... :)

And - right, the toggle takes to mobile data settings page. Doesn't turn it on directly... I just wondered how it looked in the status bar, when activated. Triangle icon confused me. Maybe I didn't explain it well... Not that it's a big deal though. Just curious, and no sim to check :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
I'd like to point out that yesterday I installed the Lollipop update and I have found a few things.

It is much faster and the battery life is great. (6 hours sleep, 5% drain)

You can have root and FeliCa working.

Xposed can't be used because the rom is odexed and I don't have the time to deodex it.

Hi! I'm using docomo sc01f kitkat 442, is there any way for me to disable LTE network now? I just want to use 3g network., thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Earthlark:
So I got a used, unlocked sc-01f and then IIJmio 5 gb card from BIC Camera. They said using the card as a hotspot is fine. When I use the card in my Note II, Wifi tethering works fine. But when I use the card in the Docomo Note 3, whenever I turn on the hotspot, connection to the internet disappears. Do I need root for this to work? (Sorry if I missed this, but I searched the thread and didn't see anything special about getting the hotspot to work.) Anybody have any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
It's probably changing the apn when your enable tethering.

You'll need to adjust the apn settings.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mqywaaah:
Hi guys

Two weeks ago, an update to Lollipop 5.0 became available for my SC-01F Docomo Samsung Note 3 so I did and now having quite a few issues like:

- battery drain has become incredibly fast

- when I turn off the phone it keeps turning back on like I did a restart

- when the phone is charging while turned off and I remove the charger, it still shows on the screen like as if it was still being charged (this I found to be the weirdest)

- just last night out of nowhere while my phone was turned off, I noticed the screen turn on and when I looked, it had the "downloading do not turn off target" on it. It wasn't connected to anything nor was it physically instigated.

so far these are the only issues I've come across but I'm sure won't be the last. Will try to post pictures and video links soon if I get the chance to.

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Is there a way I can downgrade Lollipop to the last available Kitkat version from Docomo either Android 4.4.2 (SC01FOMUBNI3 released on 2014/10/16) or Android 4.4.2 (SC01FOMUBNF6 released on 2014/07/08)? I've been constantly checking my phone for software updates hoping that Docomo has realised this glitch and have released another update to fix it, assuming that there are some who have hounded their customer service hotlines with the same concerns as mine.

I haven't found enough time to browse through the forums to check if a post similar to this has already been done or solved so please excuse this post if it seems redundant and useless. Thank you.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dothraki:
Haven't seen any of the issues you are having.... I guess you could roll back to 4.4.2 by downloading the firmware and flashing it via ODIN. Looks to be just a standard ODIN flash to do this. A few youtube videos of guys doing it on various Galaxy phones...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtTVHTSlHtg

As for the latest available Kitkat version this would be the one to use:

2015-07-01 Japan 4.4.2 SC01FOMUFOF4 SC01FDCMFOF4
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mqywaaah:
Thank you! I will definitely find time and try this. Will post updates of my progress
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Earthlark:
I'm in the exact same situation as you: just picked up good-condition sc-01f with lollipop and using with IIJmio 5gb plan. I haven't rooted yet, but after updating a number of programs just this morning (just got phone yesterday), I am getting lots of random "Unfortunately, Google App has stopped" messages. After uninstalling Google App (at which time it says factory version will be used), the problem has disappeared. So probably not because of your root method and, rather a lollipop issue.

On the topic of a hotspot, which I haven't been able to get to work while maintaining an Internet connection on the phone, SimmoF suggested that I may have to adjust the APN settings; however, I haven't succeeded in getting it to work yet. Have you had success using a hotspot with your phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You should wipe your device.

The note 3 has gone through 3 versions of android and it will be a big mess.

For a non root backup option, try carbon.

If you want to root, use titanium backup.

The warranty expires soon, so root is always a good option.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mqywaaah:
I don't think I can flash my phone (or phone won't let me) cos everytime I try to go into download mode and hold the poewr-home-volume down buttons my phone just restarts. Or I am completely doing this wrong
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Perhaps you are holding them too long. Try holding them for only a second after you feel the vibration of it turning on.

You probably don't need to flash the phone, just perform a factory reset.

That is done in the settings app.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mqywaaah:
I am also getting these non-stop!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
I had this exact bug, I fixed it by getting the latest Google App from APK Mirror.

The version in the Play Store may not be as up to date as the version on that site as Google pushes the apps out at different intervals to different people.

There is a code you can type to see what the apn is you need to check what it is before and during tethering to make sure it's not changing.

Also look into the tether_dun_required setting and set it to 0.

There are guides online. This tells android not to switch the apn when tethering comes on. Which might fix your problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mqywaaah:
Thank you. Will keep this in mind
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dothraki:
Oh ok so its probably a lollipop thing going on with the Google App... hopefully a newer update will be released and resolve it then.

Hotspot I haven't bothered trying as I know it won't work on a IIJ on a Docomo handset (docomo terminals are hard wired to use dcmtrg.ne.jp) which wont work via IIJ SIM. It should be possible to get working with a bit of fiddling, I did try it on my S5 but was not successful... according to this post its possible:

http://xperia-freaks.org/2015/03/21/docomo-tethering/

One of the comments by " 匿名" shows that it worked for him using an SC-01F on IIJ "同じくsc-01f iijmioにて成功しました。"

I never really followed up on the S5 as I didn't really need to use this feature... would be nice to have the option though... I might give it a try.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Definitely look at the tether_dun_required hack. I did this to block it from switching to dcmtrg.ne.jp on tethering for my S2.

You can also use a third party wifi tethering app. That will require root.

I found a link that explains to use this command to enable tethering for IIJmio.

adb shell settings put global tether_dun_apn IIJmio,iijmio.jp,,,mio@iij,iij,,,,,440,10,3,*
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Dothraki:
Still cant get it to work on the S5 though.

The "IIJmio,iijmio.jp,,,mio@iij,iij,,,,,440,10,3,*" value in tether_dun_apn was already there from when I tried it a few months ago.. Mine just had a different APN name, the string I had was

docomo_tethering,iijmio.jp,,,mio@iij,iij,,,,,440,10,3,*

So tried the following.

1. The APN name I had for IIJ was "internet"

So I changed the APN name to "docomo_tethering" to match the string above.

2. I think the main problem might be this setting which is located in settings.db:

tether_dun_required 1

Apparently this is supposed to be set to 0 but I can't permanatly change it to 1 for some reason. Tried using SQLite Editor App (has ROOT), on my S5 settings.db is located in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases.

Went into the "global" DB seached for "dun" to find tether_dun_required found it and changed it to "0" but it doesnt stick.

Same when using ADB "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" it pushes it to the phone ok but doesnt stick... strange.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Using a Note 3.

I don't have a docomo_tethering setting in my firmware.

tether_dun_required also sticks for me across reboots, it wasn't initially set, I just tried it.

If you need to set it at each startup, you can put it in a script and use Script Manager to run it each time you restart the phone.

You can also use Terminal Emulator to run the command without using adb. (Just remove the "adb shell" part from the commands.)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Earthlark:
Great! Thanks so much for this info! After a bunch of monkeying around, I got this to work! I couldn't get it to work on unrooted lollipop, so I downgraded to Kit-Kat (SC01FOMUFOF4), rooted, and got hotspot to work there. I tried a bunch of variations on the directions for getting Binary: Samsung Official, but it wouldn't work.

Is there a recommended way to upgrade to Lollipop and keep root? I searched a bit online, but I'm unsure of the best way. OTA? Firmware download and via Flash or Odin? After upgrading, I'll again try the process to get Samsung Official.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You just flash stock and reroot.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Earthlark:
Okay, great! Thanks for the confirmation on that! Upgrade and root was no problem.

Unfortunately, the IIJmio tethering settings don't work for lollipop. It seems a lot of other users at this MVNO tethering tool validation blog have this problem as well. My Japanese isn't very good, but it appears some people got the hotspot to work temporarily by doing some strange combo of turning gps on, turning mobile data off, then turning hotspot on, then after about 10 seconds turning mobile data back on, then opening Google Maps. I haven't gotten it to work, but I guess a few people have. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution at some point. For now I guess I'll have to downgrade as I need to be able to use a hotspot right now to get my work done.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
SimmoF,

The TWRP in the second post (openrecovery_twrp_2.8.5.0_hltedcm.tar).

Is it for 4.3, or 4.4, or 5.0 firmware? Or, it will match any (main doubt is about 4.3)

Same question here. All my attempts to install a custom recovery on my SCL-22 with Android 5.0 (OTA) update are failures...

Is there a custom firmware that can install on Lollipop?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foozoo:
Does the lollipop for samsung note-3 docomo includes Turkish language? Can you please check and inform me? If it does not have, how can i find docomo note-3 lollipop with Turkish language support?

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You need a recovery specifically built for scl22 lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
There's no Turkish. You'll have to try cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sto7:
Do you have a link to any?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Sorry, I haven't looked. I use the Docomo model.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] foozoo:
Is this linked with original sc-01 note-3 5.0 lollipop update?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
No. I can't really help much.

You'll have to look for a rom that is built for the SnapDragon 800 cpu.

I think you need a rom compatible with SM-N9005.

SM-N900 will not work properly or at all.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Noob question. :(

I have rooted 4.3 SC-01F with TWRP (no NFC, and not needed).

Thing is that I forgot how I actually rooted and ended up with what I have. And my knowledge isn't enough to make sure.

I have stock 4.3 firmware, and TWRP.

If I flash stock 4.3 firmware (via Odin), then TWRP (via Odin), then UpdateSuperSU (via TWRP). Will that work?? I think that's how I did it... but need to confirm...

Thanks!!!

Again, don't need NFC. Just afraid of not bricking the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
That's it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Thanks a lot!!! :highfive:

One more thing good to know would be about TWRP in the bottom of the 2nd post (openrecovery_twrp_2.8.5.0_hltedcm.tar) file.

Is it for 4.3, or 4.4, or 5.0 firmware?

I currently use "ordinary" (hlte) TWRP for 4.3 firmware downloaded from TWRP website. Seem to work OK.

But I wonder about that "dcm" ending in 2nd post attached file. Must be Docomo. Does that make any difference with "ordinary" (hlte)?

And, which firmware that attached dcm file is for? Judgind by TWRP site, they have different version for each firmware...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Yes, that works with 5.0.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:
My docomo contract just ended and I signed up with OCN, but I can't use the phone as an AP because docomo tires down the connection to a different APN when tethering. Can I somehow unlock that setting, and if I do, will I lose NFC/Felica?

Scared to screw my priceless 4.3. If I knew it's safe. But I don't.

TWRP homepage has different TWRP versions for 4.3 and 4.4. Why so?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You can't brick from flashing recoveries.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Good to know! Thanks :)

I heard 4.4 and up has different bootloader and that makes impossible downgrading to 4.3.

That's the second thing that scares me out in trying TWRP.

I'm on 4.3 now. Can I end up on 4.4 or higher flashing different TWRPs? I mean like I'll screw that bootloader or something, and for example won't be able to reflash 4.3 later, and will have to upgrade the whole firmware to 4.4 or up?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
No the bootloader is boot.bin or boot.img, recovery is recovery.img

You,can look inside the tar file to make sure its not there if you're worried.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kumabjorn:
Great idea

That was a great suggestion. Took a while with installing Android Studio, then SDK, then figuring out how to run an adb shell, but eventually I was able to do it, however I have no way of confirming on the phone if it actually changed that setting, but since the prompt reverted to $ I assume I did it right.

However, it seems that Docomo locks down all their settings with certificates, so unless someone knows how to unlock those I'm afraid their tethering is set to an APN that requires IMEI confirmation. So even though I've enabled the OCN APN it only works while accessing internet from inside the device. As soon as tethering is turned on it will switch to Docomo's secret locked down APN.

I'm having some very dark thoughts about Docomo right now so I better stop here before I write something that will make them come visi............................................................
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
I've been looking around. And it is possible to tether on a Docomo Damsung device on the 4.4.2 rom (It is downgradeable). But not on Lollipop.

I found a tool that does it automatically. You can find it here.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] klic:
Hello,

is there a lollipop fw for scl22 with full languages? found SPACEX rom but it seems some problems with it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdaoxs:
@ Kumabjorn

I went with an OCN Calls+Internet (10GB) plan recently for ¥3200. Using an aU SCL22 (they told me its not possible but it is mostly). I can either call, or use 4G depending on how I set my settings, but getting both working has been a challenge, maybe the IMEI check as mentioned above - I will open a thread to see if others can help troubleshoot). Anyway, in Mobile Networks, in the APN Type I set he following text to enable tethering no problem: default,mms,supl,hipri,dun
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xpate59:
DoCoMo Note 3 it tetherable on Lolipop 5.0 through a work around: you need to turn off location services, reboot, then turn on location services, turn on hotspot, then start google maps, wait several seconds, and radio services resume as shown by the LTE symbol in task bar, Maps and location services can be closed afterwards. This works for me on SC-01F on Rakuten MVN and is reported working on other MVNs (OCN included, Kumabjorn). Please note that I added the following parameters as found in the tool:

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:tether_dun_apn --bind value:s:rakuten,rmobile.jp,,,rm,0000,,,,,440,10,3,*

I suggest using the batchfile "galaxy_optimus.bat" at the link SimonF (Big thank you as always SF!) posted and setting up for your MVN by using this tool.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
What firmware are you on though?
