I've been thinking/wondering if we could flash the Sprint or T-Mobile 4.4 bootloader which would still be unlocked if I'm thinking right. Why couldn't we? Anyone have ideas? There are threads in both models forum talking about flashing vzw ROMs or making the vzw model work on there respective networks. Am I being stupid to think this could work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
It would not work because, as I said in the post above yours, the bootloader is keyed to the phone. Verizon phone requires a Verizon keyed bootloader.

I saw on beanstown106 twitter feed a link to dev edition stock tar files from the Samsung developer forum. I clicked the link and got an error, but maybe they posted the files.

My bad. I read it again and it is a request for the files. Got excited for nothing. Lol

If you have a regular phone it will not work. They wouldn't make it that easy.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechSavvy2:
Anybody can do what I posted on their device. Regular consumer edition, Dev Edition, even other phones on other carriers. Any phone. All those steps do is make an external backup of what's already on your phone. And if its from your phone, no reason you can't reflash it back to your phone. Just DO NOT use files from consumer to flash on dev edition and vice versa. Some files are confirmed swappable, but others are confirmed to brick / take you back to consumer status (see S4 thread).

Basic level understanding.....you know the stock images that Nexus devices have available? You're literally creating your own set for your phone, replicated from the software that's already loaded on your phone. Exact images. Exactly same thing, tar files are just bundled together with different format etc etc.

Reflashing backups you made back onto your own device is perfectly safe, and good for "full stock" backup, however the problem is that this errors out on dev edition so it doesn't work properly. Hence why stock tar files (some) cannot be created yet.

Understand what I'm saying?

The mj7 modem is available for the DE but some are reporting that the mj3 worked better. How can we revert to mj3 if necessary?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
i would guess only a twrp backup at this time since we have no odin files still :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] suzook:
Very sad that a de doesnt have these files available. Whats the point? Glad I kept my retail edition as there really is nothing going on for the de anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
I wouldnt say nothing. i can still run roms like hyper or beans and any tmobile one and also have kernels from tmobile available to use as well. i will take a fully working recovery over safestrap with odin files any day
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jmorton10:
I gotta agree.

I had every intention of selling the retail N3 & buying the DE when it became available, but I have since changed my mind as I really see little point in the DE at this point.

I saved $500 by purchasing the retail version as an upgrade on my 13 year old daughters account as opposed to paying full retail for a DE with no warranty. If they where the same price I would obviously take the DE edition, & if Odin files are ever released for the DE I still may switch at some point.

I am running Beans ROM (after trying Hyperdrive briefly) and I think dual booting with Safestrap is awesome. I have tried various kernels for years in all my various phones & I have yet to find ANY kernel that noticeably outperforms the stock one.

At this point, I am 100% happy with the retail N3 and al the money I saved......
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cryptiq:
Sorry for the noob question, I couldn't find the answer after searching. What is the benefit of purchasing the Dev Edition vs. the standard retail version?

When I heard the Dev Edition Note 3 was coming, I decided not to buy the retail version and wait for the DE. My assumption was the DE would have an unlocked bootloader - this was based on reading articles when news first broke of a DE coming to VzW. EDIT: I guess I need to read up on benefits of unlocked bootloader, I thought an unlocked bootloader meant you could load custom ROMs without jumping thru hoops. But if loading a custom ROM ultimately voids your DE warranty, I'm still not clear - at a high level, what's the benefit of purchasing the DE? Thanks.

If it helps, I'm currently on a Note2 running one of Beans' ROMs and while I would like to upgrade to the Note3, I have no desire to use the OEM installed ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] droidstyle:
you can load roms with out jumping thru hoops. the only shortcoming so far is there is no stock firmware files to fall back on in case something goes south during a flash. Long as you follow the tutorials on this forum you will be fine. However be warned, if you start trying to test stuff such as typing commands in terminal or flashing test files, you could be screwed.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

I dont think anybody here expected the DE edition to have more development. Verizon Devices are losing thier devs plain and simple. Fwiw the point of the DE device is to not have to worry about updates patching root or fixing exploits that could leave a device stuck on stock until another exploit or patch is found. Also Everything T-mobile will work kn the DE device, so yes it has much more Dev then the retail. The downside is nobody expected sammy to not provide the stock Odin files, which pretty much negates the purpose of releasing a DE edition. Its hard to develop when you have no fail safe to fall back on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
Wow, you think the DE is down so you want to kick it. Any development for the retail is development for the DE. I'm enjoying SS along with everyone else but for the multi boot not by necessity.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keennay:
Guys,

Where are stock ODIN files usually provided upon release by Samsung?

I'm going through emails with Samsung Development & I just want to make sure everything is clear and we get exactly what we want. I can't give any promises.

Thanks,

If you backed up the stock recovery it might be possible but no one would want a stock DE. Then you risk mucking it up. There is that mje beans left for the DE. Sell as is, just disclose what it's loaded with and how configured. Imho

Just so everyone knows, temaseks cm12 will in fact boot and run on the 4.3 bootloader. It runs as good or better than cm11. I've not encountered an issue yet. I flashed it using his version of philz with support for f2fs. Enjoy :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
What phone and environment did you test on? I have a SM-N900V DevEd. And, where can I find Temasek's version of philz for my hltevzw.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
I have the same phone, this is a dev edition thread. The recovery can be found here----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/59r2a9tv6y94byx/philz_touch_6.58.7-f2fs-hltevzw-temasek.zip?dl=0

There are some bugs but it's pretty damn stable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Do you have to use that recovery to flash cm12? My Dev edition has a 4.4 bootloader and I'm currently using twrp.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
I can only verify it works with my 4.3 bootloader and that recovery i linked for reasons that frustrate me greatly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
Is f2fs required for that philz?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
No sir it runs ext4 by default. It allows you to custom format partitions into f2fs if you wish.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
The latest twrp 2.8.1.1 for hltevzw worked fine. Frankly I am not impressed with cm12, seems crude and unrefined and many of my favorite apps don't run on lollipop. I expect to play with it from time to time but my dd is Alliance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
Same experience except that I did install Temasek's version of Philz. Install worked. I will be testing with twrp. Only problem is that I could not get an LTE data connection to Verizon. Need to play.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
Temasek told me on Twitter that CDMA changes were merged but they aren't in the newest vzw build. Keep posted :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
So I see 2.2 has 8 downloads, anyone have feedback? My lte works on first boot but if I reboot or even reflash the ROM I cannot get lte back. It sees I'm on Verizon's network but just won't give me lte. It's frustrating because it has worked so I know it can, but there is no rhyme or reason why I can't keep it through a reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
I cannot get consistent Verizon service. I am also getting many FCs on google phone. No LTE data connection. Also, no NFC radio.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
I'm still running the mje modem and am now wondering if the latest would help? I can seem to get the data back by fiddling with the preferred net type setting (set to global, 3G and lte, back and forth). Sure is weird that the state persists through reboot. I tried the lean kernel but it wouldn't boot.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
The nc4 and nj6 base bands both constantly drop and reestablish lte like something is toggling airplane mode every minute or two. I'm still using mje as well, even tried nj6 on Temasek cm12. I have contacted tony layher about our lte issue hopefully maybe he will bless us with some help ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
It's good temasek has gone back to frequent builds for us few!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
I was able to flash it but still no lte :( I even flashed it twice. Perhaps you got a bad download, did the md5 match?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
The MD5 was fine but it was a dirty flash. I will try again. The second try (clean this time) worked. Testing....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
2.4 is up, some ril fixes by temasek not sure if that'll help us or not but I'm gonna try it regardless. Tony Layher pm'd me back and said to play with the program menu. *#*#4636#*#* however I still couldn't lock down lte. I believe it is APN related because of what I have been reading. Our phone see vzw's network but something isn't letting it authorize the connection.

If you want to read up on what I've discovered Google "verizon mobile network state disconnected"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
2.4 seems to be switching between 3G and LTE now however I've only been using for a couple hours. Using preferred network type = global. I also noticed that after switching back to TW from 2.2 the preferred network type was nullified (none of the above).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
Mine is doing the same thing with lte and 3g. I can live with that. If I toggle airplane mode it goes right to lte. Might try 2.5 in a few, its up for vzw:thumbup:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] somethingsomethingroot:
Wiped and flashed 2.5, and I got no mobile data. I can text and make calls, but after two clean flashes there's no internet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* midway down the is a drop down menu where you can select lte.gsm.cdma auto prl. The turn radio off and on. Should connect after that. Mine did.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
What did you choose? And will it have any effect on my Aliance ROM which is working very well. I don't want to mess it up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] somethingsomethingroot:
Well, I had working 3G for about a minute, so I that's an improvement. Still, I haven't been able to get signal since, where I usually get LTE. I'm on MJE though, dunno if the newer base bands would help.

Hey guys, I have the Developer Edition Note 3 and have done nothing more then install Philz recovery and root. Everything else is still the way it came from the factory.

Im now kind of wanting to at least get on 4.4.

I'm on v2.9, mje modem, LTE workd fine, GPS won't lock though. No other issues yet. Maybe I will flash NC4 and see if it causes problems.

The LTE network signal icon doesn't show "LTE" when WiFi is on, but it is still connected LTE, just the indicator. As soon as WiFi is turned off "LTE shows up on the signal icon.

Bean's Device Info App, available from the play store, shows connection status, and you can change Pref to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

I will try to attach a screen cap here.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/help/qa-temaseks-unofficial-preview-bui-t2953453

After selecting verizon internet VZWINTERNET, press again to get to Edit access point screen, add Bearer "LTE"

WiFi shut off it shows LTE on signal bars

WiFi on LTE indicator turns off, but LTE is still on

Download Beanstown106's Network info app from play store. Change preferred network type to : LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) wait a sec then run some ping tests.

Did you enter download mode from power off and 3 buttons? Strangely the Odin looks good but the update does not take when entering download mode via software means; sometimes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] radionerd:
I had problems flashing the modem alone. Took a bunch of times for it to stick. I put nc4 on mine to see if anything was better on tamesk CM12.

Weird that single tar didn't stick. I am convinced the problems we are having on cm12 is kernel.

I flashed modem many times no sticky. Remember all the troubles that others had. I think [MENTION=4530182]LillieBennett[/MENTION] was one of the first to recommend enter download from cold boot. Mine stuck after a few cold boot odens.

Using old Tapatalk pro cause I like to know where I go.

Got MJE to stick. Same behavior. No LTE data connection. Is it possible that Verizon is blocking something?

Have either of you tried Lean CM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LillieBennett:
I don't know but I have to wait a while, possibly several minutes, for it to connect. I just go about business, checking email, Googling, etc. and it finally connects. I also keep checking network type = global stays set, it was resetting to CDMA only for awhile.

I was only interested in cm12 for some lollipop experience. Cm11 never worked that well on the note 3. I actually am still enjoying Alliance rom, everything works, it's still a kick ass phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] radionerd:
I have been running nc4 for a day without SIM, David, I put thje SIM in and I feel your pain Man! Com android crashing like crazy. I just flashed to NC2.

NC2 stuck 1st try. Cold boot w/usb disconnected, start oden, load file, as soon as Oden finds phone, bam, start DL. Worked 2 for 2 times.

NC2 still getting com.android.phone errors, gonna wipe cash and dalvek, back in a few.

MJE was just like Lilliebennett, wait a minute then locks LTE, no android com errors. I will try all three modems.

I'm setting my note 3 up for my Son's X-mas present, hadn't had a SIM since Saturday, was on mje never got any fcs until today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] radionerd:
[MENTION=4477763]DavidFlory[/MENTION]

OK,

Tried all three modems, was having all sorts of com.android.phone fc's on all.

Did a cache and dalvek wipe on NC2

Tried a bunch of hacks on all. on MJE it still was FC'ing which hadn't happened before flashing the other modems.

Finally got it to work.

Less fc's if WiFi is on and able to handle data requests.

Set up LTE preferred

Beans info app select either LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)

wait a minute

boot into recovery, then just reboot system. (I think is same as a battery pull)

wait for reboot with fingers and toes crossed. LTE is reward.

I will add a few screen caps in a few
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DavidFlory:
Same steps, did not work. It seems to be that LTE/CDMA auto setting that is where the problem lives. Each time com.android,com crashes it resets to WCDMA. It then retries LTE/CDMA and dies. Where does that setting live? It is not in build.proc.

I did get LTE once, very briefly. I don't know what I did that worked. Gremlins.
