I finally got the guts

Hello all, first off, thank you to everyone who posted on this thread as it for that I finally got the courage to do something about my problem. This maybe can help to newbies like me that installed CWM using the app and got their Recovery messed up on their N900A. After reading this whole thread thoroughly, doing some thinking of all advice I got, finally got the guts to flash my phone using the AP_N900AUCUBMJ5.tar with Odin 3.09 instead of the BL_N900AUCUBMJ5 file (which I thought it would fix my Recovery as I read the Bootloader is locked by AT&T, newbie :/ ). Well, after flashing the phone, I got my Stock recovery back but now it says 'Android Recover System [3e] and it shows an 'ERROR' when I select Reboot System Now and also when loading it (see pics) and I can't get my phone work with KIES3 yet, it won't recognize it. I'm going to keep surfing the internet, gathering information.

I wanted to apologize if this might sound stupid to write about, but, maybe for some people like me would mean something.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
What firmware where you on when you did this mj5 NC2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
No, I didn't...

Hello, thank you for your interest. I didn't do it. when all this happened I was on MJ5 (GN3 N900A) and I still am . Even though I've been told that the One Click flash would not mess with my IMEI and the radio thing I got after unlock the phone, I'm still trying to use all my options before doing something as radical as that. I read that I might end up with a beautiful 500 dolar brick, and I have very little time to deal with something like that, that would be my last resort.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
None of the restore methods will mess with your imei but they will change your radio this one will not work for you because you where mj5 and you can't downgrade to ml9

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

What radio are you using if it is a att one then the mj5 restore should work for you
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
Now I see, so from what you said, I should stick to my plan. Maybe some day AT&T will leak something useful for all of us that doesn't have the stupid Knox and all that crappy stuff they did with this beautiful phone. I decided to go for android because of its versatility, but I chose the wrong phone to experiment to, sadly. Thanks again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
That's very true
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
[MENTION=4265139]jerrycoffman45[/MENTION] Is there a way to know what radio I'm using?. I'm asking this because, the guy who unlocked the handset by replacing my original IMEI with another one, also did something to solve the signal problem I was having here in my country. It was very unstable, came and went very often, but I don't know what he did, now works just fine, LTE and 4G, no problem. That is the other issue about flashing completely the phone, I can't afford to lose that "tweak". It is safe to say that I backed up my phone using a couple of software, N900A EFS Backup and EFS Proffesional.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
Your radio is mj5 that is what baseband is most likely he changed your apn settings so the phone would work on your provider but I could be wrong I would contact the person who did this and ask him first but look for the mj5 restore thread in this section that will get you back to how the phone was when you got it without changing the imei

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

And you can Google apn settings for your provider and can add them yourself under settings more networks mobile network then acsess point names
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
First, is it the one uploaded on GoogleDrive with 5 files and no system Image?. Can I flash is with Odin and not selecting the one that flashes the Modem? if you know what I mean.

Second, When I first go the phone, and had those problems with the signal, I edited the the APN config, but got nothing, the problem persisted, then I took the handset to the guy who unlocked it and fixed it, God and him knows how. I have a little background on handset as I used to work for Bellsouth many years ago and some friends, also technicians tough me some stuff. I always liked to personalize my handsets.

Quick question, upgrade to KK is out of the question?, can I flash just Android system from another Note3? but leave the firmware intact. is it possible?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jerrycoffman45:
It might be I am not sure and are you asking if you can upgrade to KitKat if you can get to download mode you can use the leaked one click to update or do the thread I gave you the link to then go to this thread to update to kitkat

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
Hello again Carl1961, thing is that it says: "THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO TOOK THE NC2 BOOTLOADER (A3)" and my bootloader is from the MJ5 cause I never upgrade from MJ5 4.3 to any KK 4.4 firmware. Yes, I see A3 but it is a bootloader from MJ5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
can you get a picture and post? or pick one of these

it would look like these

A2 first picture, A3 second

[MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] This is what it looks like right now Mister.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
ok stay away from my thread LOL you do not have A3, those who use it either want KITKat NC2 or they soft bricked like I did . or they have a note3 that is not covered by bestbuy or at&t.

if you have trouble getting OTA to update to NB4 then there is a TWRP backup posted on xda somewhere that you can install with safestrap
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
LOL Roger that!!!. I don't wanna be too greedy. First I want to get MJ5 running OK, the most important thing is get KIES3 recognize my handset. Then, Try to upgrade it to KK 4.4. and lastly, see if I can get rid of that effing Tethering block from AT&T.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
I see, AT&T would make more money if they would not block tethering and just charged extra when you go over there limits.

Anyway here is a copy of that NB4 safestrap recovery backup, I saved a copy on my google drive way back then when I was Mj5 you can try installing it to slot 1 and try it out, It's still Jelly Bean so it should run

Does this method help me recover from a soft brick?

I am trying to find a way to recover my newly soft bricked SM-N900A. It is currently stuck on the boot logo and will not go any further. I have search everywhere to find out a way without wiping my entire phone. I wouldn't mind it so much if I were back in the states but I am out of the country and I'm not 100% certain how my phone will react if I try to wipe, retore etc. from abroad without access to a network. Can you offer a bit of clarity/assistance?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] A.S._id:
what are you made for getting soft brick?

How are you getting this?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] texastone2000:
Soft Brick Recovery?!?!?

I went to a site to find out a way to remove bloatware. I removed a view system packages like ChocoEU.apk, samsumg apps, etc. I also added a few new fonts. Once I finished the phone required a reboot. When I rebooted it never came back up all the way. It gets to the at&t screen and stops. The phone still charges and I can get to the recovery mode screen, however, I cannot connect to Kies. I dont mind restoring my phone but Im not sure what type of authentication process it requires. I am currently on a ship in E. Africa and our network (wifi) prevents me from connecting/downloading to the Play store. SO with that said, when I do re-root my phone, i'm not 100% sure on how the phone will react with not being able to connect to the AT&T network as well as the Play store for any type of authentication. I do have many backups on my SD card so im not worried about getting my "stuff" back. But should I be worried about anything else? Is there a way to recover from a Soft boot without re-rooting my phone? Thanks for you responses.

if you can download firmware MI9 from first post, do it and try to flash only parts AP & CSC, if this will be lucky, try to boot device, if will be bootloop, try to factory reset...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] texastone2000:
UPDATE!!!!

I bit the bullet and went ahead with re-rooting my phone. All seems well. I wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. My only issue now it getting all of my apps back. No big problem doing so, its only because the Play store is being blocked by blue coat. What I will do is find a site that has the titanium backup apk and restore my apps off of my SD card.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] A.S._id:
if you find and install titanium, must have after restore your apps & settings to add markers - contexts selinux for restored data, titanium backup can't yet...

so after restore data run terminal and enter

$ su

# restorecon -R -v /system

# restorecon -R -v /data
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] texastone2000:
Titanium Backup/Restore Help!!

I use to use terminal with my Jailbroken IPhone but haven't yet been in a situation to use it with my Android. Now seems like a good time. Unfortunately, I just found out after re-installing titanium that the backup files were stored on my phone and not my SD card. (Lesson Learned) I will install terminal and play with it a bit to familiarize myself with it.

Thanks for your help.

Install Xposed and Wanam. Go to Security and select the Fake Status.

After a couple of reboots, it will be gone. Works perfect on my phone. No custom lock icon and shows official.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] aalupatti:
EDIT : Hurray.... I took the risk :good:

So I went ahead and flashed it using mobile odin and looks like I am getting slightly better signal... Used to get 2 bars at home, now its like 3 bars...

Speed increase is may be ?????...

This is an early report.. Will update as i will try to test at a few more places..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] martinisadork:
Thanks, but I want to actually get rid of it, not hide it.

I was rooted on mi9, decided I didn't care about keeping root for the moment so I accepted the OTA. So now I'm unrooted, but the "Custom" status remains for some reason.

I also have a problem where my phone just randomly either shuts off or turns off the screen and locks up (typically I cannot restart it without taking battery out) so I need to be able to take it to at&t for a replacement.

I guess I'll need to wait for an mj5 oneclick so I can restore to stock first. I was hoping to be able to use this to flash only the part that determines the custom flag, and then reapply the OTA upgrade if required.

But I don't know which piece controls the custom status flag.

[MENTION=4265139]jerrycoffman45[/MENTION] Hello again!, thank you again for your help, everything went smoothly, flawless. But even though I'm not Rooted anymore, when I go to update on the handset, it tells me that there is no update and I must wait 24 hours, so, no OTA for me. I kinda thought that because I was rooted before I couldn't update the phone OTA, I thought I could get the lastest version of Android on my phone straight from AT&T, I guess I was mistaken. Now I'm going to try the next link you gave me ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701062 ) but without the OTA, I think I won't be able to perform the steps of the link you gave me. But, is this NB4 is rootable? cause I don't see if it is, or, can I use the root process from the MJ5 restore???

Dear [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION], hello, this OTA you said you added, where is it?, is it the one on the first page of that thread (KitKat Ota Zip)?which firmware is the OTA file? Nb4 or NC2? I already rooted the MJ5 on my N900A yesterday, so if I use Recovery Mode to flash that OTA zip file, will it unroot the phone?, can I use the same steps for MJ5 to root the phone? or it is unrootable, either NB4 or NC2.

In another subject, I read that once you upgrade to NB4 or NC2, you cannot go back to MJ5, and I see many people regret updating the phone, do you know the common problems or drawbacks about these updates?

Thank you for your time and patience.

Dear [MENTION=4265139]jerrycoffman45[/MENTION] [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION], I download the KITKAT OTA ZIP, downloaded the 2400258.zip and renamed it to update.zip, place the update.zip file on my External SD card, then I booted into Recovery Mode, used the option "Apply Update from external storage", selected the update.zip, started to do its thing, then I got, I cannot remember well, but was something about 7. Then, the phone booted like I did a System Restore.But one thing is that I don't see the LOCK symbol and CUSTOM when it boots anymore, but SU works fine.

That is exactly what I did. Like I said before, after restore the MJ5, all steps, before rooting the phone, I tried to update to KitKat via OTA, but it wouldn't let me, it said that there was no update and had to wait 24 hours.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
if you have any moded files or you have removed any OEM files it causes OTA to fail
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
As far as I know, I didn't removed or moded anything. Could it be that I was rooted before doing this?.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
Well, after doing all steps but not the root one, then I tried to install the update.zip (2400258.zip before) through Recovery Mode and again I got the STATUS 7 error, package.zip. Now I reached a deadend, no KK for me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] posersk8r:
You have to update to nb4 first. If the update says 24 hours just adjust your date one day ahead. Then put the 2 files needed to patch the missing files in internal and external sd then reboot. Once done put the update.zip in your external sd then go to stock recovery then update from external.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
THANK YOU!!! Finally is downloading the NB4, once it is done, do I copy the 2 files and reboot let it boot up the phone, then restart the phone into recovery mode or copy the files and then boot into recovery mode right away?

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

When it finally started downloading, completed the 100%, then I rebooted the phone, it was still on MJ5, either way I copied those 2 files on the root of the phone and the CD card, boot into Recovery Mode, selected the update.zip file, but I still get the status 7, package.zip error. :/
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
What is the file the update complained about? Is it e2fsck or ddexe?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
I don't know any e2fsck or ddexe, that is android geek talking :) (don't take it bad please) . I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I cannot tell what it is. First that is weird is the fact that after my phone downloaded is the update (don't know which one, hopefully NB4), rebooted the phone and when I went to see if it was updated, it said MJ5. Now it is really late now, tomorrow I going to try download the update again if it let me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
e2fsck, is the file safestrap renames to e2fsck.bin ddexe is a file SuperSu renames. You have to uninstall safestrap recovery to fix e2fsck. You have to unroot your phone with SuperSu to fix ddexe file
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ebisetti:
I haven't installed safestrap and the phone is unrooted, I used this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715) to get my phone root free and be able to start fresh, I didn't root the phone, I stopped on the step 9, then I got the phone to download the update OTA, when it finished I restarted the phone, but it still was on MJ5.

Drivers may need to be reinstalled. But first, try using one of the 'all in one' flashers with ODIN.

DK does not use 30gb. DK is DynamicKat. It's smaller in size than the stock ROM.

It uses maybe 6 to 8 gigs.

Sometimes a custom ROM will report the wrong information.

The instructions are in the OP of the DynamicKat thread. That is the first post. It will outline exactly what you need to do. Post number 4 covers common questions and answers.

Just go to the 'Development section'. DynamicKat is normally right at the top of the first page.
