[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
Man, that's expensive! In reference to TMo wanting over $800 for it for prepaid. I then made the mistake of attempting Negri, wasted two perfectly fine weeks, cancelled, and bought a white one on Swappa after all the black ones were gone. I love the design, it's an excellent phone, but T-Mo has some awful pricing and I wasn't paying over $100 extra to walk out of the store with it. My only disappointment is that the black one has a leather feel and the white is hard plastic. Was it really that hard to make white fake leather textured plastic? I really want to find where I can buy a black backplate just for the texture, still love the look of the white model. Also, the camera bump annoys me since 90% of my use is browsing with the phone laying flat on a table.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] naripsta:
I thought the phone looked boring, I was more in awe at the function of it over fashion though. But it's a huge plus that they thinned the side bezels, and that it felt better to hold in the hands than the Note 2. Screen was also sharper and bigger.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dan37tz:
My first thought when I took the phone out of the box, "Wow, this REALLY DOES FEEL like leather!" (I have the black one btw)

Second thought after playing with some YouTube vids, "This speaker is really not bad at all, very loud and clear...I dunno what those complaining fools on XDA were smokin.." :p

Third, "Hey this amazing screen looks almost like an IPS LCD! Wowsers! No hint of pentile matrix and super bright, a big step up from even the Note 2's display"

Fourth, "Wow there is literally no lag or microstuttering, unlike my POS Galaxy S4." "I love this phone!"

Those were my initial impressions.

I have access to the Samsung Smart tool used at Best Buys, and am able to copy these files. Would they be of importance to being able to flash a custom recovery?

Update: Other things in life prevented me from getting the link to the files sooner, and I do apologize for the delay. But here they are!

I have most of the Samsung Smart program... It is missing some of the files needed to run. I am thinking some DLL files. Could you zip them if you have them and send me a download link?

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

All of the dll files you can get from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Febby:
Those files you see such as platform are the files we need to flash back go stock MF3. They are whats inside the all in one Odin tars. You should copy them and upload them online. I'm not sure why no body has posted or even noticed but they are the kies/Odin files we need. I see the mf3 bootloader and CSC and modem and platform which contains the stock recovery and system etc hence the md5 which is typically after platform.tar.md5.

Post them if you can. All the md5 files and we will be able to Odin back without best buy.

Just keep trying and going to best buy they'll get it eventually. If they can't fix it have them call Samsung and say that support said if they couldn't fix it call for them to call tech support and have them walk the rep through it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Shockndrop:
Can't say I've come across a bricked one as of yet, but does it still go into download mode? If so, they need to hit Alt + F10 to get into the recovery options, select Factory Recovery, and there should be a drop down box that will let you select I337 from there.

Unless the phone is hard bricked, won't stay powered on, or has a charging issue, the SMART Tool can be used 100% of the time. It will still be quite awhile before this finished the upload, so if that's faster for you, by all means.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Br4nd3n:
Im hoping these will work for the bricked mf3 users! Excellent!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Odischeese:
Awsome! :laugh:

I'm going to test out if people that used my method to fix the recovery issue with MF3, and see if they can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 and root their phone without having to wait a few weeks.

I' also hoping that I won't get a hard brick :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
This is true due to blown qFuse correct? But I believe the motive behind these files (if, and when the OP delivers) is for current MF3 users to have a readily available means of recovering when things go south. While I'm not not necessarily technically inclined when it comes to the inner works of Android-devices isn't it possible if we get our hands on the actual bootloader we might be able to find a means to unlock it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ryno9100:
If we can get these files and open the bootloader, I will celebrate by giving you a virtual hug and handshake.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
The bootloader is closed source. Samsung would have to get permission from AT&T to release the source for it. We would still not be able to reverse the blown Qfuse. We can go up, not down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
You can have all the hope you want. It doesn't change the situation. Many talented Developers have tried different methods including both software and hardware. That is why it is important to read about what has been done already. It doesn't mean that all hope should be abandoned, it just means that it is a waste of time re-visiting what has already been attempted. Modifying the Update to unlock the bootloader simply isn't going to work (without Samsung's signed and encrypted key) for more reasons than I have time to explain here. But like I said, those reasons have already been explained and it is very informative reading. Perhaps KNOX can be used to allow for alternative bootloader access, but it is really way to early to tell.

These are no wipe, had this in my clipboard answering another question. You should Google triangle away, there is a free version on xda i believe provided by the developer.

If you still showing custom on boy or your phone info is not system you may need to factory reset or even find the regular wipe odin images.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jntdroid:
I went from a safestrapped ME7 and flashed the MI1 file in that thread. After it finished and rebooted, I had to do a battery pull and get into stock recovery and do a factory reset in stock recovery. After the reset and reboot, it's all 100% stock MI1 - Odin shows official and everything, and no more unlocked image when I reboot. In my case the FDR was important because it was two different builds. Going from rooted MI1 to stock MI1 probably won't require that, but who knows.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SimpTheChimp:
I've been running CM and other builds for awhile, and I am always confused about what the Preferred Network Mode should be? In basic CM is seems to always default to 'Global'.... but I have had instances of that simply not working properly.

So..... for an XT912 (spyder) user on Verizon (LTE) - what is the best choice for Preferred Network Mode? One that uses LTE when available; but also switches appropriately when on 3G?

Thanks.

[Moto X General] charlie-n:
The first step was admitting I had a problem. It got so bad my girlfriend started to ***** about me ****ing with my phone so much. The Moto x has been my 12 step program because stock is so great on this phone. I used to be a fan of touchwiz since I'm an ex galaxy fan boy but now I see why I enjoy stock android, I can start from the beginning and build the experience myself. Any one else's flashoholism cured by this phone?

My name is Mikel. I am an ex flashaholic. I used to enjoy living on the edge; always flashing the latest nightly. After countless wipes, restores, and close bricks, I can happily say I am now a recovering flashaholic. It has been 2 weeks since my last flash (pre moto x). Stay strong brothers

Lol, the sober guy that goes to the local bar because they have really good root beer.
[Moto X General] Pr0f_Farnsw0rth:
My name is Hubert J. Farnsworth, and I'm a ex-flashaholic.

My addiction began back in July of 2011 when I got my first smartphone, the Motorola X2. There weren't a lot of options (CM7, AOSP, Eclipse, and eventually CM9/10), but I could never get enough. I didn't care if I would lose personal data, texts, pictures, have to SBF my device, I wanted to see what other devs were doing. Due to restrictions (mainly a locked bootloader), the X2 couldn't fuel my rage, and I abandoned the device that brought me into the smartphone era, and went running to the Galaxy Nexus.

From the moment I powered on the device, I knew I was in paradise! Unlocked bootloader, check. Rooted, check. INSANE amount of devs, check. I would try anything to get my kicks. New rom all the time, tweaked kernels left and right, minimal or expansive GAPPS, and hell, even different recoveries.

One day, I'm browsing DroidLife, and I see Eric Schmidt holding this mystery device that has all the tech sites buzzing and it was love at first site. I thought to myself, "Wow, a phone with the rock solid hardware of Motorola and the pure sexiness of Google software, uninterrupted by some asshat at Samsung or LG painting over the UI like a four year old doing a finger-painting. This is the one."

Fast forward a month, and there I am, standing in the Verizon store, paying full price for my dream phone (don't want to loose unlimited data, duh). The experience is so amazing that I don't even think about rooting for over a month. Finally, the shine of a brand new device wears off, and I want to start tearing into this puppy. jcase releases a root, and bam, read-only protection is off. I can now do what I want, when I want. But I don't (beyond wireless tethering and Greenify, naturally). I don't need to. Why? I already have everything I need. And the few things I want can be fixed with Xposed. Motorola was brave, trying new things, like the always listening SoC and Moto Assist to name a few. The camera update comes, which causes a little hiccup with the root access, but nothing we can't work around.

So has the Moto X cured my addiction? In a way, yes. Why break something that isn't broken? Why reinvent the wheel? It's not necessary. This device has everything you need, and will be here for a while. Stay strong my friends, and the power of the Moto X can heal you, too.
[Moto X General] tecsironman:
Coming from a Gs3 and I loved flashing the phone with crazy Roms to test them out... When I got my ultra I loved the stockness of the phone. Some options are not available but at least we have root and gravity box.

The moto x may be a cure for most flashaholics, a cure for the need to root, it is not. To much bloatware. And I for one want what I want on MY phone.
[Moto X General] charlie-n:
I agree, honestly I have a few requirements with a phone and root, If I don't have them I cant use the phone 1. tether unlock by freezing syncTEDC wich makes native tethering work, 2. titanium to delete bloat, and 3 clockwork mod to take backups incase something ****s up, if they ever made all that stock which they wont, I wouldn't need to root

I've been a flashaholic since the original HTC Evo came out on Sprint 3 years ago....

I can satisfactorily live with this.

[Moto X General] capathy21:
The X most definitely cured me from my flashaholic ways. I had every flagship imaginable over the last year. Nexus 4, S3,S4,N2,LGOGP,HTC ONE, "I'm sure I am forgetting at least one" and with each of those I was flashing constantly to cover up or get rid of the crappy manufacturer U.I. except for the N4 of course. With the X, it is perfect strait out of the box. Of course like others I have rooted and such but I have no interest in flashing anything.

Thanks Moto:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmdearras:
My son's S4 is rooted, and a while back he loaded GooManager, and tried to install recovery with it. Phone still works, but tries to load code over the USB on power-up.

What does GooManager do to the system, and how can we undo it? Or should the phone just be wiped and odin flashed to 4.3?

Jim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's a common problem. You can't install a custom recovery using GooManager. At best, if you're running MDK, you can use Loki to flash a custom recovery.

The best fix for your situation is to flash a stock ROM. At the very least, grab the recovery from the stock ROM and flash that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmdearras:
Do you know what GooManager does before rebooting? I'd like to manually remove it.

Where is the stock ROM for Verizon 4.2.2? Or can I just Odin 4.3?

Thanks much!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ysq2002:
I'm having slow GPRS connection in PDA2k, so I decided to go with K-JAM because of EDGE connection. Does the edge connection sometimes get slow or it is always fast?

Ok, about the processor of K-JAM, is it good enough like PDA2k or slower?

Finally, What do you advise me, to stay with PDA2k or buy K-JAM?

Thank you
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ChrisSpera:
I have both; and while the PDA2k has a faster processor, it can sometimes get bogged down doing Phone related stuff and appear to freeze. The K-JAM has a dual core processor, with one core dedicated to the phone, and I have yet to see the device freeze. However, it does slow down occasionally, though not often.

The radio is better on the K-JAM. In nearly 6 weeks, its only dropped 2 calls. That's all... just 2. :shock:

Edge is much faster than GPRS, so you will see some improvement, but its going to depend on signal strength, and you won't have any visible indication from the device that you're using Edge. The connection will just appear faster. As long as you have a strong cell signal, you should be able to get on the Edge network (if the network supports Edge). And yes, there are times when it does appear slow. A soft reset usually makes the device pick back up the speed it appears to have lost.

Having both devices as I do, I find that both are acceptable for my needs; but I like the size of the K-JAM better, prefer the way the keyboard slides out (its actually on tracks and locks in place, vs. the PDA2k), and prefer the size of the K-JAM keyboard keys over those of the PDA2k.

I'll still use the PDA2k occassionally, but will be using the K-JAM as my daily driver from now on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ysq2002:
Thank you Mr. Christopher Spera for your advice. I will buy a new K-JAM and I'll compare it with pda2k and share the results.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ysq2002:
You're right Christopher. Yesterday I bought kjam and my service provider supports edge. The internet speed was very good. I got around 12Kb/s downloading speed. Before, when I was using PDA2K I got only 2.5 kb/s and sometimes the page can't load.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ChrisSpera:
My K-JAM does not have this registry key, so i'm not certain what to change...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sooby77:
After adding the key I got the connecting GPRS icon with static arrow instead the moving arrows (as seen during connecting phase). The G was gone. Does it mean you get the G only when you are using GPRS and the other icon while on EDGE network?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vishny:
This value must be DWORD type. It equals 0 by default, I tried to change it to 1. Unfortunately nothing changed, I got the same G with static arrows. I guess it's because my operator doesn't provide EDGE. I hoped someone gets different...
