[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doclucas:
I am posting this to help people who ran across the same problem I did the past 24 hours, which drove me crazy and it was quite difficult to find any info on it.

I bought my N9005 on eBay from a Hong Kong seller. I just updated it with Kies and noticed that sammobile.com has a newer MJ8 firmware, so I figured I'd just download it and flash it via Odin.

Kies shows my mobile as XME (Malaysia region), but I guessed it should work just fine, and boy was I wrong.

Moments after trying to flash it, it failed, but it did manage to flash the beginning of the firmware, which was the new MJ bootloader. That newer bootloader does not allow any other firmware with older bootloader be flashed on the phone. Not even Kies's emergency recovery was able to revive my phone which was stuck in emergency download mode.

When trying to flash I got all sorts of errors, such as:

invalid ext4 image

and

CHECK FAIL : fused : 2 , Binary : 1. (when trying to install the older XME Malaysian Firmware on top of the new bootloader)

To make a very long story short, after almost giving up and start waiting for a Malaysian firmware with the new bootloader to be released, I ran across the UK MJ6 BTU rom which does have the new bootloader too and decided to try flashing it. To my amazement - this worked and my phone is back to life! phewwwww! :D

This is a download link to the BTU MJ6 firmware:

my brick story in short is------ brought note 3 sm-n9005 from ebay from a Hong Kong based seller. pics of ap, cp and csc are attached. rooted with chainfire's and installed cwm6 by chenglu. A few days back, flashed bobcat rom version 2(mj7) and later 3( mk2 ) without problems. Was looking for different themes .yesterday flashed balckchrome from s4 forum that also went smooth. Unfortunatly flashed another theme for s4 which was not meant for andriod version 4.3. Pretty stupid .went into bootloop. Had nandroid backup tried to restore but couldn't.

Flashed another rom mk2 from cwm. again bootloop .took the odin route and flashed stock deodesk mj7 by Djembey from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2461929

Failed again. Then downloaded latest mk2 from sammobile website. The same error (invalid ext4 img) in short failed on all ccounts. Have run out of options. The last thing in mind is to wait for some new bootloader after mk2 which might rescue me as mentioned in this thread that new bootloaders might help... Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks

Try this:

1) Get X-Note v6 custom rom.

2) Use Odin to install CWM recovery.

3) boot the phone into CWM recovery and copy the X-NOTE rom (MK2 based) to your phone or card.

4) Do a complete wipe/factory-reset from CWM

5) Install the X-NOTE rom from CWM

And let me know how it went ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Why did you suggest X-Note but not another ROM?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doclucas:
3 reasons:

- It's MK2 based

- I am using it

- It's excellent

And besides, if the method I suggested works, he can always replace a ROM later on if he wishes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyarajaani:
Thanks for the suggestion. ..tried twice with both stock n Civato kernels.. didn't go beyond Samsung logo screen....With Civato there appears some error above the logo...pics i m attaching. .Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Nope, I didnt mean what is the best rom to use.

The problem is that how to bypass the bootloop issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doclucas:
No need to mess with kernels.

Were u able to install cwm via odin and then boot into cwm?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyarajaani:
yes...I did that n installed X note rom from cwm. BUT I suspect that cwm is not fully functional. Why I m saying this is that I have a nandroid backup of bobcat mj7 rom...which cwm isn't able to detect even. ..nevertheless. .cwm is installed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doclucas:
1) Which CWM version do you have installed?

2) Did you do a full wipe/factory-reset?

3) Did you try also advanced formatting (of system partition together with the full wipe) and then install the ROM?

4) Did you try all the above with the latest TWRP recovery instead of CWM?

[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
Anyone remember the change.org petition for our One S to get Sense 5? It got over 10,000 signs and there were some rumors that HTC will release an official update - but thats it.

HTC released Android 4.2.2 plus Sense 5 for the HTC One SV (worse device that ours) and left us behind again. So don't ever except an update for our device.
[HTC One S] dd98:
MAYBE, htc will skip 4.2/4.3 and HOPEFULLY give us KitKat

[HTC One S] Will972:
Agree with that . And personally i think HTC don't care about update.. their principal motivation is trying to challenge their rival samsung and apple on the market. That's why they put out 3 or 6 devices in the same year . Update is not a good thing for them cause if they make some update for the one series (x,s,v,sv,xl,x+) then they cannot sell device like they do at this moment. Their politics is like that : (update=new device).. the only thing HTC care about is money.

I love HTC device and sense UI but HTC don't care about their users..

[HTC One S] Chazy12:
Hello. I wrote some emails to Jason McKenzie (the president of HTC US) and he answered that an update for our device will never come. I sent him like 10 mails and he answer always, but the response is the same: they can't roll out the update some some reason that are in their control and others that they can't control. If someone interested, I can publish some content of the mail..

[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
Sure, why not.

CM 11 will also not come to One S. Or it will not work properly (dont ever expect working camera,bluetooth and much more)
[HTC One S] Chazy12:
Ok. This is the fist answer to my mail: 'I understand your frustration and am personally driving a focus on upgrade commitments for our customers. *Unfortunately, the decision to upgrade or not upgrade is not solely an HTC decision. *We also require carrier approval. As a company, we are focused on delivering strong sw experiences that resonate with customers which is why we invest in HTC sense.*

It's also important to note that of all the android suppliers, HTC has the strongest track record of updates as validated by 3rd parties. With that said, we are far from satisfied and*my vision is that we deliver highly transparent information to our customers with clear commitment around certain products. *

As you note, we are not scheduled globally to update the One S. This is true for a variety of reasons some that are in our control and others that are not. And I'm sorry for this, but do believe it is a strong phone with strong sw given the investment we've made to improve the os.*

Thanks'

The MaximusHD ROM is apparently the semi-official update that HTC promised.
[HTC One S] antaine:
I won't be so sure about that, i've read on CM10.2 thread that some dev are working on it and it seams to work pretty well and more KitKat update seams to fix some reboot problems. And Cyanogen limit for a phone, as told, is like for Google 512Mo of ram and a decent CPU so I think we will not be left behind

[HTC One S] Hsuan24:
HTC isn't a disgrace. It's just a mobile phone company who struggle with many problems: deficit income, competitors such as Apple and Samsung, smartphones market pressure, etc. I pray they will stand up and back stronger with new innovations. We need to stay positive and optimistic.
[HTC One S] Will972:
For me htc is the best in innovation, they bring a very full UI with tons of settings, 3d, best improvement in sound, very good innivation in camera .. people are obsessed with apple but apple suck in innovation ( 4 generation of device with same UI)

I hope they will care more about their users and back with a bomb who will blow their rivals .
[HTC One S] ppm48:
I. Love this phone i've finally super cid and s-off and put on Max hd you would think I'd be happy but no I find my fingers itching to try another rom it's crazy why can't I just be happy and leave it alone helpppp lol
[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
Why is that? It's not the official OTA update for everyone they promised.

In case of hardware KitKat would run excellent on the One S no question.
[HTC One S] DylRicho:
No over-the-air update was promised; just an update was 'promised', if you can even call it that.

That ROM is based on semi-official sources; i.e. the update for the HTC One X+ with the MSM8960 S4 chipset. The North American One S runs on the same chipset, specifically the T-Mobile version which is needed for AWS support.

This is probably why HTC first announced that they were thinking about NA One S users first, before anyone else.

If you have an S4 version, yes.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robybaggio:
hi, after flashing any aosp rom (slim rom, cm, paranoid, ...) my microphone is dead. i don't hear the other caller and he can't hear me. the microphone is fine because when i flash a tw rom afterwards everything works fine again. interestingly the mic works after the first restart after the flashing. as soon as i restart for a second time the mic is dead.

it does not matter wheater i flash with clockwork mod or twrp. i always make a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, internal memory, rom; basically all reset options twrp offers) before installing the new rom. i install the new rom (any aosp rom) with a new kernel that fits the android number and the correct gapps. sometimes i used the old kernel but it makes no difference regarding the mic.

i don't think i make anything wrong during the process because everything else works just fine. so far i always ticked the box to restore data with my google account, can this be the problem.

any clues where i go wrong? i hope someone can help me with that problem because i love my note 2 but i hate tw.

thanks in advance.

The icon turning blue means you have a connection established with google servers.

It has nothing to do with other apps or downloading

You may like to check the internet config of your device, like setting the ip and dns manually and the router config

Im running a us cellular model with the latest ota, bootloader unlocked, rooted by flashing su.zip.

Thanks a bunch in advance

look over in the apps and themes section and search for logo or whatever you are looking for. I think there are custom and stock images over there as well as adb steps or root explorer steps you can follow.
[Moto X Q&A] will2live:
If you want the stock Logo back just download the USCC fastboot file for your device. Pull the Logo.bin file from it and put it in the directory where you have fastboot at. Then using fastboot flash it to the device.

the command to flash the logo is fastboot flash logo logo.bin

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cowbite:
Okay, I've poured over the posts in this forum backwards and forwards and I'm either missing something or I'm trying to do the impossible.

I have an i717 AT&T Galaxy Note 1, unlocked and am using it on T-Mobile with Cyanogenmod 10.1.3.

I work at an area, geographically, that has 4g coverage. This has been confirmed by my co-workers that have notes 2 and 3 as well and sit right next to me with 4g active, as well as on the T-Mobile coverage map.

I have tried everything in this http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1547114 thread already.

All of the modems in that thread give me "unknown" for the band/modem or outright crash my phone when I pull up the dialer.

I installed a UCMB4 Modem that someone had good luck with but I still have no HSPA entries.

I've tried *#*#4636#*#* and tried selecting "hspa anything" but there isn't any hspa entries listed.

I *know* my knowledge on this is limited so I'm playing catch up on the concepts especially regarding the different bands and implementations across carriers.

So the question is: If I want 4g speeds or anything above "edge" speeds, what should I be shooting for in an area that supports 4g and LTE, on a Samsung i717? hspa? wcdma?

*One* time only during all of my tinkerings months ago, I saw a DC above the strength meter but never since.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Hi

I wanted to update my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 to the BobcatROM v7 (Android 4.3).

The instructions started with installing one of 2 modems (radios) depending on old or new boot loader.

Since I was on BobcatROM v6, I assumed I had the new bootloader.

I installed the I9505XXUEMJ5

BobcatROM V6 crashes when I try to make or answer a call.

Installed BobcatROM V7. That ROM doesn't do anything on my S4.

I was able to return to BobcatROM v6,

I installed different modems(radios) up to 4 times using Odin v3.04. Everything looks fine until I look in settings->About, and baseband version is still I9505XXUEMJ5.

Phone still can't make/receive calls.

All ideas are very welcome

I talked with the Nav-N-Go developers and they told me that the Nav-N-Go works with 9 GPS antenna's. It seems to me that the problem is in the definition of a communication "COM-port".

I tried flashing the Zeus kernel using CWM, but I failed to realize the kernel was for the Verizon S3. When I restarted after flashing, it displayed the Samsung logo for a split second and then went to a black screen. The screen was on, but it only showed black. At this point I passed out, and when I woke up it was still on the black screen. I pulled the battery and tried to restart, and got the same black screen. Then I tried every way I know of (except using a jig) to get into download mode to no avail. Now when I turn it on, it vibrates once, flashes the logo, and then the screen shuts off and is useless. I think there's a solid chance I've ruined it this time, but if anybody has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Howdy,

I am trying to figure out how to "lock" the camera during a video recording. On my old Galaxy S, if I press the power button during vid record

then the camera would lock and pressing any buttons (except power again) or touching the screen would not affect the video being recorded. I cannot find this feature on my Note 3. During video record the power button just turns off the screen and inturn stops the recording. The screen is so close to the edge that holding it anywhere except by the edges seems to turn off or otherwise change the recording.

Anyone know how to to lock recording?

Cheers.

Hi there! I recently got my Note 3 and i want to root it! I'm always been rooting my devices. But i've never had a Samsung before.. and i read about Triangle Flasher, Odin and the new thing Knox? I want to root my Note 3, what disadvantages do i get by that? It's a European SM-N9005! How can i root it in a safe way? Do i need Knox? And what happens if i trigger the knox limit and the triangle flasher limit?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rallerbabz:
If you trigger knox, your warranty is void. Nothing else happens. The warranty can't be recovered by unrooting your device again. Therefore it is important to keep Knox untriggered, if you want to be able to use ur warranty in the future. You can root without triggering knox, but you have to be VERY careful when you root. You have to pick a root method that doesn't trigger Knox. And even then you can't install a custom rom, otherwise knox will get triggered. There is a possibility that knox will get figured out and we can do everything without worrying but no one knows for now.

I haven't heard about the triangle flasher limit yet. What is it and what does it do?
