[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Figured it would be good to make this common knowledge. If some of you have been following my testing on the knox safe root you'll know this already.

WARNING

It appears that the new mj4 update contains a new bootloader. This seems to prevent downgrades to earlier firmwares.

There have been reports that..

Trying to downgrade from mj4 on even a stock unrooted system will flip knox.

The downgrade may make your phone temporarily unusable.

It appears the only way to recover from a botched downgrade at this time is to use twrp to flash a new system. This will flip knox even if it hasn't been.

There is no official mj4 file at this time. So no way to flash a full mj4 in odin to fix your mistakes.

This is especially troubling for anyone with root and knox 0x0.

If your knox is already 0x1 it's probably not going to be a big deal.

We really need an official mj4 full tar from samsung. Especially if downgrading a stock system flips knox with no warning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
The procedure I've been recommending to recover from this is to install TWRP with odin and flash a mj4 rom in twrp. Freeza's stock rooted mj4 should fix you up if you get stuck.

This will flip knox 0x1.if it's not already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
Good information. +2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigmase23:
All info is verified and correct!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MikeyLee:
Sounds to me like Samsung has some explaining to do as to why they did not release this information with the update notes. Seems really shady to me. They can take their KNOX and shove it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
We really could use a full mj4 tar from samsung.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] suavethekid:
This is true, I totally bricked my phone and its stuck in boot loop because I tried to flash the new software and restore a nandroid. Must be because of the bootloader because now I cant even odin back to stock the phone is toast. So be careful with this new software until we get a full one from samsung.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Odin twrp.

Flash Freeza's stock rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cherylbaker:
Why can't you Odin back to stock?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
If your on mj4 mess something up. and you try and flash a mi5 or mi3 backup it fails. And since there is no full mj4 you have to flash a system with twrp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] suavethekid:
Do you have a link to a system I can flash in twrp? The only ones I can find are odin tars

Unfortunately that doesn't work for me either, I get an unable to mount /usb storage error and it says it completes but it resets and just continues in a boot loop.

:( thanks anyway I think i'm giving up and just getting sprint to replace it luckily they were not smart enough to notice the knox counter was tripped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Ignore the usb error. It's checking for a usb ota device like a memory stick.

Check your download. Should be a md5 to check it against. Maybe a bad download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmf01:
Is it just MJ4 bootloader that prevents downgrade? Did MI5 allow bootloader downgrade?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cherylbaker:
Yes I downgraded from mi5 to mi3 numerous times.

So if I want to return my phone to complete stock, there is no way correct? Because I need to take my note 3 to sprint but I am currently on Stock rooted MJ4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Provided you haven't tripped knox. Use supersu to remove root. Reboot. Factory reset.

Awesome, thanks man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Wacky2bakky:
So if I've tripped Knox, there is no way for me to go back to stock MI3 or MI5? via ODIN or flashing? Cuz of the new bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Even with a knox flip I don't believe you can.you could flash a mi5 rom with twrp but I don't think we've found a way to downgrade the baseband.

I can't flash anything using TWRP. I rooted my phone, flashed TWRP via Odin tar file. Every time I try and flash any zip I get the "can't mount usb storage error". My son installed the mj4 update before I even got my hands on the phone. Getting super frustrated. Any help would be awesome..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BretonGirl:
Quick question, hope it's not too stupid. I just got a GTab 8.0 (perfect screen size!) and it's great but one thing is mildly annoying. I keep getting a "now connected to "my Wifi network name" notification often. I'm not noticing any drop in connection or anything to indicate my WiFi connection is unstable, and it's rock solid with all my other devices too. Is this just a normal thing with the GTab?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burgeke:
I came here looking to see if there are any wifi issues after the latest update (Tab 3 7.0). I am seeing the same thing but wifi is disconecting upon sleep for me. What i see is a connection notification when I first wake the screen. If I catch it quickly, I can see that wifi was not connected.

Also, I tripled checked the wifi sleep policy and it is set to Always. This just started after the latest update. I am rooted so I reverted to older firmware and everything is back to normal.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thref23:
I have experienced this as well on the 7.0, I also started receiving error messages from Gmail (via Aquamail) regarding "too many simultaneous connections" while this was happening. Anyways I have the 3G version and don't require Wifi use often, so I haven't thought much about this, but I'd call this normal.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] villainous:
I was on MI1 rooted, I flashed the factory MI1 back to my phone via odin so I could download the update OTA.

The downloaded the update, it installed and my phone rebooted. On the reboot, I got a message saying the "UIDs on the system are inconsistent" but that was covered by non-stop failed processes. Every time I clicked okay, more processes would fail, leaving the phone unusable. I plugged it into my computer and using Verizon Repair assistant I try to do a factory restore. The restore stopped at 83% and said "device unexpectedly unplugged" and would not go any further.

I have tried several times to do a restore but without any luck. The phone will only boot to a "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE" then it tells me to connect to kies. It will not boot into recovery and KIES will not allow me to access the "firmware upgrade and initialization" because i cannot find a serial number. I spoke to a verizon rep, they gave me a serial number, it didn't work.

Any ideas? I have tried to ODIN the MI1 again, but it fails:

You Sure you grabbed the ml1 image? When trying to flash a previous firmware (which you cant do) it fails at aboot like yours did.

Edit:

Nevermind I now see you did after re reading your post. Havent seen an mj7 download mode image but someone posted the update.zip for stock recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] villainous:
I've checked the MD5 and it matches, I've tried several different versions of MI1.

When I connect to the Verizon Repair Wizard, it shows my version as MI1, however I did install the OTA update today, shouldn't it say MJ7?

Also, since I installed the update, when I try to ODIN MI1 it should fail, is there any way to do a recovery any other way?

Ideally i would like a flashable MJ7 tar file

It is frightening how upsetting it is to be without a phone.

I think you'll need to wait for a mj7 tar file. Your Odin output shows "fused 5" which I think means mj7 loaded far enough to blow a qfuse.

I've usually never bought a name brand case, I usually just make a custom on at Case Mate or other places.

Anyone having better luck, or know anyone is allowing custom cases?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JAYNO20:
I am wanting to update my phone, but from what I can see there isn't a huge difference between these 2.

Currently I have twrp installed and unlocked bootloader but I am trying to see what I would lose to get the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
First, you don't have an unlocked bootloader. You have an exploit of the bootloader that is loki patched to allow a custom recovery. The updates (ME7 and MJ7) have patched that exploit.

You can't put TWRP (custom recovery on your phone if you take any update. The new bootloader will not allow you to flash a custom recovery.

So, what safestrap does is allows the bootloader to boot and check all signatures and the stock recovery to make sure its the only one and it hijacks the bootloader after it sees what it is supposed to see. Then it enters into a recovery (safestrap) basically on top of the existing recovery. The problem with Safestrap is your current ROM is still there taking up space on the phone and you have to use the remaining phone memory to load up other ROMS. The other issue is without Kexec you can't flash and run any kernel but the stock kernel which means only stock ROMs and no ROMs like CM or any AOSP ROMs.

So I would say it all depends on what you want or expect from rooting your device. Just clearing some bloat and you like TW ROMs or do you want to have full control to use any ROMs and any kernels.

Point is... if you ask me, there is no way if you're on MDK should you ever take an OTA. They will port over the new update soon enough as it is. The problem is you can't have any other bootloader on your phone but MDK if you want a true custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JAYNO20:
I don't install anything but stock roms anyway, but I'm hesitant since there is no going back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jerryatric:
Thanks for this explanation.

I am also on MDK and don't intend to give that up. I am wondering if there is anything preventing me from using safestrap recovery on top of my custom recovery as a way to quickly switch between roms without backup and restore each time? In my nexus days, there was an app called boot manager - I believe - that allowed me to choose the rom slot just by a reboot. I would like to do this with a couple - 3 roms because I have a flash addiction but don't want my phone out of commission for 30 min or so while I backup and restore any time I want to switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dowens9603:
Safestrap

Safestrap is cooler.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 32BitWhore:
Why?

While I agree that dual/triple/quadruple booting is kind of cool in certain scenarios, it's silly for a lot of people, especially because of the space limitations. I swapped my ME7 for an MDK at the retailer after I realized that I was stuck with TW ROMs only. Now I've got TWRP and CM installed and am much happier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
ROFL safestrap is not cooler. You can't change and use Custom Kernels and you are booting a ROM on top of the stock rom you have so you lose even more internal phone memory. Safestrap is great for those that took any OTA to be able to use SOME Custom ROMs.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdsreference:
Hi guys,

I have a HTC one and a note 3 and I love both. Although they are two devices appealing to arguably a different set of buyers. Apart from the despicable battery life it's a toss up between my One And the 2011 Galaxy Nexus as the best phone I have ever used. Benchmarks aside in this case it certainly doesn't tell the full story as the note simply obliterates everything in its wake, however in the real world the note 3 is very laggy by comparison to the HTC in every task and it has many bugs including the Wi fi issue that's affecting so many devices. Although I really love the device especially the slim form factor which is outstanding but its overloaded with bloatware and that awful touch wiz ui which certainly has been well documented already and I've now joined the hate club. My question is Does anybody have an idea when stock 4.4 might be available for the note 3 or would I be better off with Cynogen mod which I'm close to going with. Which would you choose and why.I would really like to get the most out of impressive spec s on this monster.

Thanks

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Caboose27:
Okay, I bought this Transformer Prime from my brother. I tried getting a custom recovery on it once, and I hard bricked it. I got a super lucky fix ($40), and it's back to being new again. Now, I really want Cyanogenmod on it, along with a good custom recovery (I'm partial to Clockword Mod, but open to suggestions). It currently has Android 4.1.1 on it, and I've looked up step by step instructions online on how to install CWM and CM9.1 and CM10 on it, but every description is way different than the various screens my Prime gives me. There is no Eee Pad screen, it just says Asus. When I hold down the Volume Down and Power, it gives me a screen with four different icons to choose from. This is where I died last time. Currently it has Root and the bootloader is unlocked, but that's as far as I've been willing to go. Anyone able to point me in the direction of more recent updates/directions so that I can be sure to get something that suits my tablet? And I'm pretty familiar with Android for phones, been rooting, hacking, what have you those for a few years now. Thanks!

I've seen a couple things on nvflash, and been to that tutorial page before. What I'm confused on and haven't seen a clear answer to is, how in the world do I download it? Is it something that can even be downloaded, or is it embedded into the bootloader and I just need to access it?

*Edit* Nevermind, found what my brain was missing all this time. This is why I don't like attempting stuff after getting home from work, I usually wait till a day off.

Anyone know a good tutorial for my other two questions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjubenv:
Once I figured out the NVFlash thing, I read around about ROMS (It seems like you already have some familiarity with these). I picked a ROM that is really well supported on this site (HairyBean http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2407248 ) and I read the whole devel thread. It's recently released and so the instructions are relevant and current. There is a good video link by wwjoshdew in the first post which showed me what I should expect and what a normal install should look like (the forum thread shows brief "Works for me, this is great!" posts and bunch of "I have this problem" or "that problem" posts which could be off putting). So I installed TWRP from HairyBean instead of CWM (I like the GUI touch stuff) and HairyBean after that and had great success. I don't have any affiliation with the Androwook team, or HairyBean, but I they have a stable ROM and it is very well supported (Thanks to flumpster and the team). Now I like my Prime even more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Caboose27:
How do you install TWRP from HairyBean, then install HairyBean? I'll work on NVFlash this weekend.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjubenv:
It's in the first install step in the first post of the HairyBean thread. Just watch the video in that first post and he shows you step by step. The HairyBean bootloader and TWRP are installed in the first step. The video (also in the first post of the HairyBean devel thread) shows you how to get into recovery, he goes into TWRP, which he had installed before. You will have a new recovery partition (CWM I believe) once you make your NVFlash blobs. You can use that to flash the HairyBean bootloader and TWRP at the same time (It's one ZIP file) from a MicroSD card. No need to unzip it, just put it on the root of the MicroSD card and select that to install. (I can't remember the exact steps to do this from the CWM install left over by the NVFlash process).
