[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
I'm working on an anti bloat script for root users that will auto freeze all the apps on the Docomo and au phones.

I will need some help to find what bloat is on teh au phones as I have no way to test.

I will have multiple modes, such as freeze all carrier software and freeze all unnecessary software.

If anyone using an au phone (any recent rooted phone really, not just note) I can tell you how to how to find what packages are useless and you can pass te info to me and I'll add them to the script.

It should make things a lot faster. PleasePM me if you are interested in helping. I'll post it in the third post when I'm done.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
True. The reason I started app removal (which led to hang) is that unstable root work. Some apps didn't start after reboot, or didn't get root rights with first attempt.

One app, called quick boot, almost never started with a first try. BUT, it started ok after I used task killer to kill opened apps.

And I wonder: was that because of fussy root?

Or, Docomo's Note 3 is so overloaded with bloatware, some apps need extra time to get those root rights?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
The old root method is bad, really bad. You must try, the new method. I am using 4.4.2 with nfc and no restarts, everything is great. I recommend you upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
First things first.

So my device is rooted! Yeah 0x1, I feel free-er already. - the reason why I am posting here is because my phone is a docomo phone and I followed the instructions listed above.

I would like to flash my phone with a rom... any rom... please point me in the correct direction... I feel my mind breaking just thinking about what I am not understanding... I know it is basic.... so yell at me... tell me to RTFM.. but please point me to the F'in-M お願いいたします。 I think I almost get it. I flash my rom with the base rom, then I flash it again with the cooked rom... correct? So like a dual flash type thingie.... also if I want to keep any of the docomo apps like television, then I need to use titanium backup and then it will backup the apps that i would like to keep, then restore them after i am done flashing........ correct?:silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
The it way to use tv is use the stock Rom, rooted ok.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
But I still don't understand, how exactly do we use a any of the numerous ROMs that are available to us. The blaze room looks awesome, so how do I change to it? I am confused when it says 9005 only because we have a 900D, so does that mean that I can't change? Or do I first change top a 9005 Rom and then upgrade up the blaze kernel? Thanks my friends for putting up with my basic questions.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
It will likely, install and boot, but things may not work properly, such as camera, mobile reception the tv and many other things.

I recommend you stick to the rooted stock docomo rom. Japanese providers are a pain.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
But but but... really? Has anybody tried? What about if we use the stock Japanese rom and then put the second blaze kernel over top of the Japanese one... or does that even make sense?

I am having a problem while using a couple of apps and I really want to delete dosbox.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Dosbox is a things but I'm confused as to what you really want.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
Different roms, stability.

Well..... I am having trouble using a program called ephone; my phone will freeze and reboot. It works on my friends android phone in Canada but it doesn't work on mine in Japan... or it works for a bit but then my phone will reboot at random. So I figured if I changed roms(or used a custom rom) it might be a good place to start. ePhone means allot to me because if I can successfully get it working, that means I can have a Canadian phone number on my phone here in Japan. There are a couple other programs that will reboot my phone at random, I feel the docomo rom is not as stable as some of the others may be.

But honestly, my friend, you said it.... honestly... I don't think I even know what I want. I would like to make my phone more secure.... not that I am special enough to have anything cool enough for anyone to want to steal anything off of my phone, but I would like to encrypt it just in case I loose it.

What have you done with your phone by the way? What modifications have you made?

-Kili
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
The old dodgy 4.3 style root does that.

Switch to the newer one.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
Aight, tryin' again.

I was using the 4.4.2 update that was pushed onto my phone pre-root when all of those rebootings happened. So post root I haven't experienced that. I do want to get rid of dropbox for now as I dislike the fact that dropbox is part of the NSA Snowden crap, but then again google is too. Really wish I could have a secure phone, hmm... there is probablly an app for that too though.

I will try the post root 4.4.2 stuff again and hopefully this will run stable. Also I think that dropbox can be uninstalled via Titanium backup.

-Kili.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Ok. Unless you're doing illegal activities, you shouldn't really worry. And if you were, it's recommend that you use a dumb phone that is registered in someone else's name.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
ahahh..... no no... i am just a paranoid type a guy who thinks he is living in a movie .... in Japan. ahahaha.

Actually, I am relatively normal..... レラチブリ～ BUT... ehhehehe we are all married to Japanese women, so our minds are screwed up in the end anyways.

Yeah, before I bought my phone I saw all of these different custom recovery roms for the snapdragon version, I wanted to try them.... but now I guess I am just limited to the DoCoMo stock rom.

-Joe.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
I'd like to point out that the Docomo Note 3 (and probably au one) has support for more languages than just English, Japanese and Korean.

One you are rooted, follow this guide.

It has

Korean

Chinese

Spanish

Norweigian

Taiwanese

Rusian

English

Czech

Italian

Polish

Japanese

Dutch

German

French

Hi all. Sorry to ask if your GPS work fine or not? I mean no data, just built-in GPS. I cannot make it find any gps signal. I use Sygic for offline navigation. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Make sure you goto settings>connections>location set accuracy to high
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
Simmo, have have you or anyone tried to flash any other rom than the DoCoMo rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lonton:
I saw one guy in my local forum running a S5 Port Rom on Note3 Docomo. Everything works fine, except the NFC. If you still want to try, i'll make a search and give you the ROM link.

Found it: http://choimobile.vn/threads/rom-n9005-cho-n900-docomo.28361/

Actually, it's a stock mod with S5 apps ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] miandad:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
No idea, sorry.

You can try to downgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kilihari:
Lonton, you're awesome, thank you so much. I will download it tonight and let everyone know.

A video guide for dummies

A YouTube video with a step-by-step guide starting from a 100% official Galaxy Note 3 running KitKat 4.4.2 would be much appreciated. I am a former IOS user and jailbreaker, so totally incapable to understand things clearly.

I managed to get Root access and flash a custom ROM into a Galaxy Gear though... :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lonton:
According to one member of the Note3 Japan Group, you still can use the international rom, but you have to set the network manually each time you restart the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] miandad:
thx bro

i m nOOb and i try with scl22 4.4.2 but it can't work or root or recovery..

i also have n9005 with chainfire autoroot working gr8..

any one try scl22 4.4.2 with universal root ??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lonton:
I'm testing this ROM : Rom Stock S5 port of g00h for SC-01;SC-02F ( http://choimobile.vn/threads/rom-n9005-cho-n900-docomo.28361/page-6#post-712923 ). Everything seems fine, NFC ofc not working. Still testing on the battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] edgaregawa:
Misunderstanding

Sorry dude, it looks like there's a misunderstanding here. I meant to say that it would be helpful if somebody uploaded a video guide showing the process for getting root access. That would be much appreciated, 'cause I'm a noob too.

Reading some posts I understood that root access is fine, but custom ROM still a challenge.

By now I would be satisfied with root access (to make all apps work with the multitask window and silence the camera shutter) and have a working Felica.

Some posts stated that NFC was lost after the rooting process, that's why I think a video would prevent noobs (myself) to make mistakes during the process.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
I can't be bothered editing a video, it takes an hour sometimes. It's a bit of a pain. Want me to mod your phone? You can film it and upload a video.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] edgaregawa:
Thanks

Thanks SimmoF, don't bother with the video. But if some other member don't really mind making it, thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] miandad:
guys need some help to install recovery on scl22 4.4.2 ..

too many try CWMrecovery-scl22kk.tar with this file with no luck...

i don;t need nfc or filicia just intsall cwm with root
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
It's for 4.4 only.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lvduccn:
SimmoF

Can i install TWRP by this way? I like TWRP recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
It's not been built for this device.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
True. 4.3 wasn't rooted ok... Samsung roots are kind of weird, comparing to my old devices...

I will try going for 4.4. Allow couple of questions:

1. Does the described 4.4 root method voids KNOX? I still have it 0, with rooted 4.3 firmware

2. I am a bit confused with description. In "firmwares", it has torrent link, and Sammobile link. Which one do I need?

Description's step 3 says - firmware tar.md5. Step 4 - recovery tar file. Which one do I get from where?

I can suppose that I get step 3 file from Sammobile link, and step 4 file - from torrent link. But I'm not sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
The sammobile and torrent are the same.

I'm hosting the torrent from my house.

The torrent will be much faster.

The recovery tar is attachment to the post.

You will trip Knox. But Knox only has enterprise uses and DoCoMo doesn't care about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Oh. I just didn't skip down the descrition, looking for attachments in the first post :)

Good to know that. I was wondering what would happen in case I will need to visit Docomo's service center.

Soon I'm going to try 4.4 root. Am I right thinking that it installs CWM recovery, which allows creating nandroid backup, too?

And, does SC-01F in particular works better after upgrading to 4.4? Not rooting, just a new KitKat firmware. Reviews on the net are different. Some say KitKat consumes battery, some - saves. Etc, etc...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Greg_Hager:
I skipped through the thread..but what I'm gathering is a custom ROM is pretty difficult to run?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Guys I encounter weird problem with sending jp-style emojis through c-mail on my SC-01F.

As you know Japanese emojis look different from European. I found coiple of apps online with those emojis available for copying.

But, c-mails with such emojis inserted always fail to be sent. Without them, sending goes smoothly.

Strange. I thought Japanese device will handle it without a problem. Also, some of my friends sent me mail with emojis, and I could read them.

Any idea how to make things work? Or maybe I need a special app with "suitable" emojis? Anyone uses them?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
What is cmail? Your docomo mail application?

You can access your DoCoMo mail via IMAP.

Samsung mail works great.

https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/service/docomo_cloud/docomo_mail/other/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
C-mail in Japan is what they call SMS in Europe. Sending messages to phone number, directly.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Try using the sms function in the hangouts app.

Also try changing the,mail encoding to Shift-JIS or UTF-8. See what works best.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
I found what's the problem with c-mail.

J-style emojis are pretty space consuming, as opposed to European smiles. So, my c-mail became longer, like double size.

I sent quite short c-mails before, so it was ok, and short c-mails are still ok now. However, I thought if I write a longer c-mail, it will be sent ok without problem as well. Just like two c-mails together, maybe more pricey, but such c-mail shouldn't fail to be sent and I shouldn't divide it.

Is that so. Or should I care about c-mail size not to exceed a single c-mail text field limit.

I couldn't find such function in c-mail (messages) app...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
The sms are allowed to be large, but I'm note 100% sure on the issue.

Maybe ask at,the DoCoMo shop.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hieutt:
Sorry, do we have CM builds for SC01F? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Yes. I think it's by kbc developers.

Google for it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
SimmoF,

If I root SC-01F with 4.4 method, and then wipe. Will I be able to keep root somehow (by reinstalling SuperSU, for example)?

Or I'll need to reflash all over from the beginning?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Wipe only wipes the data partition.

Su is installed to the system partition and will remain, unless you reflash the system image.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] beast08:
hi guys, just wanted to ask those who have au scl22 here in the philippines, are you able to conenct to LTE signal? if yes, can you tell me how you able to do it? TIA
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
There are two files. I first downloaded both of them but now think I only need one.

Second one is probably for AU, as it has scl22 in its name? So, for SC-01F I need "hltedcm-KK-KBC-CWM-v6.0.5.0_r0-recovery.tar"?

And, in steps 9 and 11.

Does recovery.img has necessary to be in the sd card root (/sdcard)? As this step is performed twice, I wonder if I could create a folders in sdcard named lets say "root/recovery1" and "root/recovery2" for each recovery.img file (like that, I wouldn't need to copy them to sdcard twice)

and change command lines to

su

dd if=/sdcard/root/recovery1/recovery.img of=dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

(for the first step)?

Will that be ok? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
A sub folder is fine. But you only need the files once.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Yeah. Well I'd keep them for future. Also, so need to remove the card to copy next img file from PC :good:

And is my guess about the file "hltedcm-KK-KBC-CWM-v6.0.5.0_r0-recovery.tar" being used as CWM recovery for SC-01F correct, too?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Yes. Make sure you get the path correct, the path I posted is for the internal sdcard.

You can else download and extract them on the phone. It's much easier than using a computer.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] beast08:
Hi simmof, i extracted recovery.img from stock firmware then run the command you posted but i cant seem to get back to official rim, its still saying custom, any idea how to do it? I tried the rebooting process but its still the same
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You have to follow the instructions, you may have to flash the system image also, but not the official recovery, it doesn't work every time, but it does eventually. It took me about an hour to get it working.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] beast08:
How can i do that? Flash via odin?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You must flash via odin to get it back to stock.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] beast08:
Simoof, if i flash stock rom will i keep the root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GEEPOP:
Hi, SimmoF san,

I tried to install recovery.img on step11. but emulator said "/sdcard/recovery.img: cannot open for read: No such file or directory".

Maybe I located the file on wrong path?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Trying to root my phone right now.

On step 6 -

Reboot to recovery mode.

Install SuperSU by selecting the zip.

Reboot -

Before rebooting, I get a notice

"Root access possibly lost. Fix?

-No

-Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)"

Have no idea what to do with that, and it's not mentioned in description. Will try to choose "no" first.

I think it's better be added to description, if it's not only my case...

UPDATE

I chose "No". Seems to be worked ok. I have root, busybox and Titanium are working.

BUT. No matter how hard I try, I cannot pass step 10. I spent more than hour on it, but system status remains "custom".

I wonder if there might some special way of rebooting. Like, turning phone off between boots, etc. I tried many ways, though...

One thing I'd like to clarify - after step 9, with terminal, I have original (not custom) recovery again. Is that ok?

Or maybe problem is in terminal. The command seemed to work fine. But - why there's a 7zip file attached to 1st post? What it's for? I got recovery images out using WinRAR. Should I use 7zip instead? Could that be a reason for not getting official status now?

Oh. Rooting phones gets more and more complicated... :(

Anything else I could do to get official status?.. :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
To get it back to official you have to flash stock recovery with Odin.

Then install cwm using the terminal method.

Another thing I did once, I bumped the cable half way through the recovery flash and it caused it to fail, it then rebooted into a different looking recovery then I flashed the recovery image again and it showed official.

So you can try pulling the cable mid flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] beast08:
Do you have the .mdr file for the stock recovery for scl22? Or is it possible to flaah via odin a .img file? What should we need to choose in odin? AP?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Read the guide.

Download the stock firmware, extract the recovery.img, make a tar. Flash it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vndnguyen:
Yes AP.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
But this way root will be lost?

What shall I get with just these 2 steps. Rooted, and NFC working? :eek:

That sounds extreme :cyclops: If nothing else will help..

Do I need to keep cables on, while doing those described rebootings? If there was a key on how to do it without just relaying on luck :fingers-crossed:

Also. There's one serious problem I got with my phone.

The screen stared to jump. Don't know how to describe, looks like an old tv. Kind of becoming smaller/bigger. Sometimes screen freezes. Turning it off and back on fixes it, but not for long.

Phone became almost unusable. Wonder what could happen? Is that because I rebooted it so many times, or because of actual root, or its just f...ing glitchy KitKat? I knew KitKat's crap but didn't expect so much.

Anyone else has this problem? Any ideas of fixing it... I disabled Xposed completely, it didn't help.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Yes you lose root, but the cwm recovery should be installed so you can just put it back.

Pulling the cable during a flash is not to and as long as you are no flashing the sbl or pit files.

I said just do it when flashing recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
This way, I will keep NFC, or not? :confused:

I guess problems with my phone (screen jumps/freezes/slow work) might be connected to that NFC unavailability somehow. The settings FC every time I scroll down below "more networks". Some DLNA and screen mirroring are there.

Also, c-mail (sms) do not work anymore.

Are these glithes because of custom status with no nfc?? :eek:

When I flashed KitKat, I had rooted 4.3 firmware, and some of docomo services were frozen by TB or disabled. I wonder if before upgrading I should have enabled them all?

Custom status and no felica is still bearable, but I would like to deal with those screen glithces and sms.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Performing a fresh flash and wipe will likely fix your issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Yeah hopefully...

One more thing I'd like to know, is how to change sc-01f to art environment from dalvik on 4.4 update? I heard it's fine manually, but - how?

Maybe that will change things to the better, at least phone's slow work and high battery consumption
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Samsung 4.4 doesn't have art
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
I tried this now -

"To get it back to official you have to flash stock recovery with Odin.

Then install cwm using the terminal method"

But, I cannot install cwm cause I don't have root, and terminal gives me "permission denied" error

How am I supposed to do this?

What is meant by "stock recovery" here? Firmware tar file (utorrent), or cwm recovery file (hltedcm-KK-KBC-CWM-v6.0.5.0_r0-recovery.tar)?

I am not much into terminology, so I am confused on what you meant. I really appreciate your help, but, consider me a "term newbie" pls :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You need to have root before you flash stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
There is a new firmware available. I will test rooting with this once the firmware download is complete.

I'll let you know more later.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
I had rooted 4.4, but once I flash stock recovery root is gone.

By stock recovery file I mean firmware (utorrent) file.

Still confused - what you mean by stock recovery? A firmware file, or cwm recovery file?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
You must extract a file from the tar file called recovery.img then make a tar file with only this in. Then flash that.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Ok, I see. That's what stock recovery was :eek:

But this method will not make my firmware status "official", isn't it (it's still custom now)?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
That's the problem, it only works sometimes.

I can't find a guaranteed way to switch it.

One way that worked is when I flashed the stock recovery. Then went back into download mode again and flashed recovery again, but pulled the cable while it was flashing. When the phone rebooted it showed official.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
I think custom status might be the cause of sms sending trouble I have.

I reflashed yesterday all over (like in the 1st post), and sms worked for some time - but then it went off again, as well as settings below the option "more networks" stopped working.. :(

So, I need to get it official. Hope it will help with those sms issue..

One thing to confirm to be sure - cable pulling should happen on stock recovery flashing (the one I suppose to create by myself from firmware's recovery.img file)?

Or the cable should be pulled on the cwm recovery flashing?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
During the odin flash.

During the cwm flash will do nothing.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Ok, but I flash 2 files by Odin - first the firmware.tar, then the KitKat CWM recovery.tar

Which one of those?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
Neither, the new one you have to make.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Shinkoku:
Got it. Thanks.

By the way you mention you'd try new firmware. Any results yet?

Wonder if it would be easier to get the official status with that.

Docomo site doesn't mention much about what's new in this firmware...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SimmoF:
The new firmware works great.

I think it has Samsung's updated fixes along with the big fixes to DoCoMo's apps.

You can check the recent patches for their other Samsung phones and get an idea about what's been changed.

I do feel that the phone feels a little faster.
