Need help!

Hello, I am on NABD and I dl the rom. I did a factor, data wipe. I did part one reboot, part 2 & permission. I booted and was stuck on samsung. Then I did a full wipe that put me in a boot loop. Is there something I am doing wrong.I'm on the latest recovery (TWRP)superuser. Plz help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjs2011:
Yes. You flashed a 4.3 Rom when you're on 4.4. Go back to your recovery and restore your backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sho21gun:
This is not a 4.4 rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjs2011:
Exactly. That's why it won't boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Volknochi:
As I said in my previous post, I knew about changing the DPI. And, also mentioned how that allowed me to actually gain access to the app to download but then it said there was an error. Hence, why I said I found the workaround to all of that.

i wanted to give 4.4 a go too.

did you see any performance or battery difference?

also did you use this guide to start the updating (not sure which order to start updating. bootloader first, then firmware,etc)? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49931269
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mainstang:
I have seen a a pretty decent battery increase. I don't have numbers but I get home with about 20-30% more battery after a day of work. As far as performance I have not noticed a big difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spyke24:
I have noticed a stronger signal, and a quicker tower transfer. I'm running a Beastmode kernel so i do have better performance and battery life.

as for the steps for upgrade, there are a lot of threads on this, some are more in depth then others. I can't remember which one i used. I believe it's Bootloader then firmware. But I could be wrong.

My only big problem, youtube wont work.

I tried uninstalling it and re-installing it, still force crashes.

Anyone know a work around?

Already tried other roms dont like them :\

You can download buildprop editor from the playstore and change the LCD density to whatever you want. I believe [MENTION=3795345]mjcollum[/MENTION] used 320 as his default. No matter what ROM I use I always change it. I like to take advantage of the large screen.

[MENTION=3795345]mjcollum[/MENTION], I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hate to trouble you during this holiday night, but thought I'd ask on the chance you were around. If not, take your time, as I'm in no hurry.

I had a TWRP meltdown within the last week (couldn't flash, got the red unable to mount USB error, TWRP couldn't see my OS, so I restored an old backup which was wonky, did a fresh install of what I had on my phone at the time). After this, I learned that I could've unmounted my USB storage within TWRP, then reflashed, but I'm hearing folks unable to do this. I'd like to test roms for folks, but not lose my mind in the process. My backups are on my internal, by the way.

Is CWM with backup and restore available for our phone? It appears no. And is there a way to avoid the horrid feeling of not having an OS on my phone?

Some are saying that exfat is part of the problem. My external SD card is 16 GB, the same one I had on my old E4GT. I doubt it's exfat, but cannot find how to confirm within phone (Windows just says hierarchical for both USB and external). Thoughts?

Thank you sir.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
Happy holidays to you also.

No trouble at all.

As far as I know the cwm recovery never did get to a fully functional level on our phones.

If you external SD came from your E4GT it should be fat32. This should not be a big deal either way as I believe the only issue was with cards larger than 32gb needing to be exfat.

My recommendation would be to backup everything on your external card and let the phone format it and try from there.

I personally keep at least my main backup on my external so I can be sure it's safe. (I remove the SD before wiping or flashing)

Also there is an app called something like SD toolkit that will tell you how it's currently formated.

Oddly enough I wiped, flashed (failed), then rebooted back into recovery, flashed again and it booted. It was missing stock messaging, back to Bonsai for me....for now. I just got this thing yesterday afternoon and i've managed to flash every rom for it already. I have a serious problem...lol.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ch3vr0n5:
I will find the link again for the CWM version I used. As I mentioned the two TWRP versions I used gave me the same error and would not flash however the backup and restore worked perfectly. I will post some more info about this when I have more time.

Cheers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I Get That Message...

Thanks for looking into it. There are two discrete phenomena, one dealing with a successful flash and seeing the USB message, which is inconsequential inasmuch as the flash sticks and you get a successful reboot, and a red lettered flash fail message, followed by the phone unable to reboot system. The latter is the one with that gives rise to concern. At that moment, the option becomes restore your nand.

It's likely a subset of us here, but it is at the very least a solid reminder to backup prior to flashing anything.

I hope this clarifies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ch3vr0n5:
Indeed. I of course notice the failure to mount USB Storage message frequently which is alright. This could be commented out of the init script. It's been a while since I built a recovery but I think I remember where that is.

The second is strange. I did not notice a failure to reboot but I did receive the failure to run the update script and failed write. Now I don't remember how to log that or I could take a look at the exact failure. After the failure I switched to download mode to write a new recovery.

Here is the CWM build I found. Of course use at your own risk but you seem well educated on the matter so I assume you know this. ;)

http://mirror21.downloadandroidrom.com/download/GalaxyNote3/CWM/OUDHS-CWM-Test-hltespr-1.0.3.6.tar

I did not test any of the functionality except for the ability to install an update package which succeeded as previously mentioned.

I have tested and confirmed that TWRP 2.6.3.2 worked as expected and ran the script normally resulting in a successful write and reboot. Also the init script seems to be different as it never tries to mount usb storage. I would recommend TWRP 2.6.3.2 for those having flashing problems.

Download here and install via Odin: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltespr/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-hltespr.img.tar

It may be time to dust off the my Linux VM and take a look at the newer TWRP builds and see why they are failing for some but I may just procrastinate as 2.6.3.2 seems to be working just fine.

Cheers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mjcollum:
In the car on the way home from holiday with family.will just chip in and say that as far as twrp goes the USB error can be ignored all together for our purposes. The USB failure is just twrp looking for a non existing USB otg device like a thumb drive. Also I'll be tweaking the install script a bit for the actual rom for v4.in the hopes that helps. Luckily there's more than one way to skin a cat.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Sounds fantastic. I'll be trying out V4.

I had read something about that on-the-go storage issue. I provided the fine gentleman that handles the TWRP thread three logcats available from the TWRP menu on my device, the first of which I think contains the session that throttled my ability to reboot. If these are of any use, they are below,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wingzero186:
I love this rom but I am having one issue that I cannot figure out.

I have been running this rom for about a month and I don't install many apps internal storage shows it has 13gb free and sd shows 9.2gb free.

when I try to update anything it downloads and when it goes to install and then I get an error that says insufficient storage available.

what would cause this I tried clearing the cache in all the apps and it doesn't change is there a temp storage folder that I could clear like the windows local temp on a pc. :confused::confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Goddly:
Could this be a permissions issue? , did you fix permissions after flashing the rom twice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wingzero186:
I haven't reflashed I was waiting to do that as a last resort but I have run the fix permissions from TWRP and from the cwm rom manager
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
Did you have the app in question installed before, then you uninstalled it? You need to delete the odex file as well. Look in data/app I believe.

Yes. Be sure the .odex files are removed. This will cause that issue as well. :)

Have you tried prl helper?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dustwun77:
I am assuming, I know that is dangerous, that is an app in the playstore? I'll look for it based upon that assumption.

I don't understand what is preventing my phone from doing it though. I have flashed to a 'stock' rooted rom, and it is the same with it.

Edit: Ok, I found it. It is assuming I have a prl file i want to update to. I just want to update to whatever is current in my area. I don't have a source of files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mmaccon:
I feel the same too. I'm still on this rom but after rooting my wife's HTC One M8 and playing around with some Kit Kat roms it's hard to resist the temptation to give my Note 3 the same treatment. @_Nala popped in a few pages back and said [MENTION=3795345]mjcollum[/MENTION] was planning an encore, but it's been awhile.

Hey guys, like you, I was on this rom since I got the phone until last week when I finally decided to upgrade. I really loved this rom however, so I had to get freeza's rom to look like this one at least. So I downloaded an app to change the DPI. I'm sure you can do it other ways, but that way was easy enough. And then in wanam xposed, in the theme setting, I changed them to exactly mimic the status bar of this rom. Now it looks/feels like I'm still on my old rom, but on 4.4. If anyone is still waiting, I suggest doing this to pass the time.

From the moderator

To all in the thread.....

People develop roms for their benefit and improvement of their phone...... Devs often get tired of a project and move on for various reasons........ that is the normal cycle of things/roms etc here on XDA

BUT....... using surrogates to entice others for contributions ..... is not good protocol .... nor is it in keeping with the spirit of XDA

Additionally trying to get contributions in order to possibly set up a website out side of XDA on XDA well, c'mon all must know that is not allowed......

Repeat this kind of behavior again and infractions begin......

there are plenty of Roms out there to discover......... or hey! here is a novel idea learn how to cook your own and the and you can get exactly what you want.......after all that IS the ultimate learning experience you can glean for XDA....... learning how to do it yourself...;)

Thanks...... oka1
