It seemed to work for a while... then then RSD said:

Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 17/20 flash system "system.img" -> Phone returned FAIL.; phone connected
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
What version of RSD Lite are you using?

6.15 is latest and has a newer binary that supports large partition image sizes.

Or use fastboot by itself to flash the images.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
I am using that version.

How can I manually flash them from fastboot?

I know how to flash IMG files but not BIN.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Use the following commands to flash the modem.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot erase tombstones

If it's still failing to flash system with RSD Lite 6.15 then it is likely that you have other problems.

What was the error when flashing system?

Congrats! Glad it worked out.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Boondock_:
I can definitely boot my phone. But the WiFi refuses to work still :(

I'll have to play around with this later.

Is there some security item I need to turn off to erase all the partitions using fastboot or something? searching around there are posts about different phones where you can "fastboot erase system" and presumably the rest. then i'd be able to install everything to new partitions in theory (or i think that).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
So after I got the hang of using fast boot I started reflashing the whole stock package by following the XML document.

I can officially say that there is no hope for getting WiFi to work ever again :( . Since I'm unlocked Motorola won't give me a new one unless I give them $200 for repairs.... Oh well I loved the phone while it worked, gonna start saving for the Nexus 5.

To erase any partition:

"fastboot erase _partition name here_"

Any potential battery drain issues enabling the aws frequency?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
I just enabled it this evening, so I'll let you know tomorrow. I've typically been hooking up my phone to the charger when I go to bed at night with about 35% - 40% battery left...so I'll know tomorrow night if it's changed much. Also, it might be worth mentioning that I live in a suburb of DC, so I don't believe the AWS band is available here.

Not Just Wifi & AWS

Okay, keep in mind that I didn't want this to become a thread about just Wifi Power Saving & AWS band settings...there are already threads for those.

I'd like us to explore ALL the settings in ServiceMode and work together to figure out what they are and if there are any others that should be changed to enhance our phones. :)

CA

CA enable/disable Short for Carrier Aggregation. Its disabled on our note3, the link below on qualcomms website details carrier aggregation that allows for faster speeds by piping carriers together on LTE advanced. A great informative article, there is also a downloadable pdf that has plenty more knowledgeable info. I enabled mine and will keep you informed, thanks for an awesome thread.

Heres link

You must be rooted. Then this article will walk you through using ES File Explorer to edit system files.

Great info! That was one of the ones I was wondering about! Let us know if you see any positive and/or negative repercussions. Thanks!

Thanks for helping out, and sorry for the late reply but I'm travelling in the UK with very sporadic internet connection so I'll get back at you after July 16th when I'll be back home.

I am on root and I am familiar with Odin and I used it a few times to flash some stock firmware from Samsung's firmware update page (4.4.2) but I didn't do much else so I think that my EFS is clean and working (I hope). I read here that there is an App called EFS pro that can back up my EFS, right?

Again, thank you. I really appreciate your time/skills and I'll get back at you in a fortnight.

Update on Verizon Note II not able to access Freq ServiceMode

Folks I wanted to post this update for anyone that might find it helpful. So after researching this issue I thought it would be best for me to upgrade the phone to the Verizon 4.4.2 ROM and to my surprise the one ServiceMode for setting frequencies is now viewable. I had a feeling that the 4.3 Rom was setup to prevent people from access this hidden menu. If anyone that has a Verizon phone and wants to upgrade their Note II to the same ROM I did just let me know and I will post the link to the site I got it from it is suppose to be the official Verizon ROM. But like everyone else I claim nothing and you are to use it at your own risk. Thanks to everyone that posted responses and to those who were willing to help out. Happy Independence Day to all.

Having problems getting into service mode

So basically I'm having some issues with this I did the root through towelroot.com followed all the instructions on how to root my phone and did some home work on xda on what apps were needed downloaded the recommended apps and truthfully I really don't know where to go from here I have a vzw note 3 and I want to get it fully functional on t-mobile any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using VZW Note 3 with T-mobile Sim. I'm on NC2 Deodex ROM and I can get 4G LTE after enable the VZW Band 4 from the service menu. I'm not using any of the T-mobile apps and I haven't had any issues on T-mobile network.

Tried NC4 but I was getting only H+ GSM network. So I'm back on NC2 ROM. :o

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
A few obvious questions first.

When you enabled, did you set it to on, On, or ON?

Are there any spaces before or after the word ON, or extra blank lines above or below?

Does it still say ON after reboot?

What modified apps and xposed mods are you running?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xblue95:
Thanks for the reply LeftyGR, I didn't know I needed to reboot after enabling the hidden menus. It's working now! :D

Lte apn rules no data service fix?

DID YOU EVER FIGURE THIS ONE OUT? I too made the mistake of editing the Lte APn Rules and have some how "service" bricked my n3.retail. Been searching high and low and fee this is the right OP but can't seem to find any answers yet.

Tried so far:

##786# = RTN reset (resets the device to default settings with clean service wipe most used on sprint)

Did factory/reset = no dice

Flashed factory stock NC4 stock rom = nothing (as mentioned before factory resets do nothing for bad efs settings)

Flashed original NC4 modem = nothing (going to try MJE and others)

Played around with band and freq settings some more to see if I changed something else = nothing

hiddenmenu works fine = (thus not resetting to OFF when flashed stock, thus a tell tale that efs is not being touched with resets or other flashes)

Running retail NC4 by the way = (note Weird thing is I have no Selinux line item at all in my about phone settings, even when it was working. so maybe its a special build its on stock nc4 kernel 3.4.0 Apr 28,2014)

Tried messing with RUIM vs. NV_only settings with and with out sim = nothing (note no sim after hard reset will get you bypass activation with wifi only use, still null radio, but if you then switch to NV_only you get 1x voice and signal 1x/3g but no data at all. I thought this was interesting b/c if data was working you could just flash to 3g cdma only pp, but once you edit the flash your imei/esn sim check INFORMATION nv goes fail and creates other issues, so don't go that route, so back on RUIM_only and imput sim back in, and you can use wifi and 1x/3g voice only agian, still no data at all and no 3g/lte/4g. thus it is for sure a result of editing the lte apn rules and some how need to get back to default. stock efs)

Going to try efs pro, as I made a backup with efs back up app that output a efs.img that I luckily saved to local drive = pending results will up date you if working

Saw a post on editing the APN's here = androidcentral-apn-editor-system-settings (going to try)

Also saw the csc edit in this post on a few pages back in this forum = (going to try that too)

Last resort send it back to samsung for repair by calling 18007264864!!

Let know if you found a fix for this?

SO STILL NEED ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE community as I'm LOST HERE ???? HELP???

FOR ALL OTHERS DO NOT PHUCK WITH LTE APN RULES!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kevace1:
can you tell me how you are accessing these menu's? no matter what code i put in nothing works....im on the jasmine ROM with the NC2 kernel flashed hoping this will fix my issue with connecting to tmobile network but my phone still wont register still says "Unknown SIM" :mad:

CID in foreign network (LTE)

Hi all,

I want to reveal the Cell ID when in a foreign LTE network. (That means: without proper [or without ANY] SIM inserted.)

In the native ServiceMode app., I'm only able to see the PCI (Physical CID), not the CI.

I thought It could be possibly logged in the logcat log, but it is almost not logging the radio part in any way.

(My phone: S4 mini, 4.2.2-I9195XXUBMJ7, rooted)

Any ideas?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] JSkilnyk:
Hi guys,

I want to be able to disable 4G altogether. For some reason I get very bad 4G signal where I work.(Indianapolis!!!) But, for some reason I get fantastic 2G/3G signal.(-85 1X, -115 LTE.) I even talked with a Verizon rep at the store who suggest I try to do it within the phones info. Of course I can't get access to that. I have no rooted my Note 3 and wish to disable 4G. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would forever be thankful!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Mandabar34:
Look up "Advanced Signal Status" on Play store. It works for me when I want it to just stick with a 3G signal. Has some nice information on what kind of signal you are getting also. You do have to be rooted to use all the features.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xconwayx:
I figured this would be worth a shot to download and try myself. Can you shed some light on what setting within the application you set to obtain solely 3G? There are so many options!

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Mandabar34:
The CDMA AUTO (PRL) is what I would set it on. Keeps my phone from trying to find 4g when there is none.

Is there any setting I should be using?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
How old is the phone? Original release of the phone has hardware issues coinciding with signal problems. Samsung corrected it sometime later.

Is there any way I can know that? Cause I literally have no signal ever.

If I wanna downgrade from 4.4.2 -> 4.1.1 to unlock the phone, can I just flash a stock rom with Odin? I don't care about warranty and knox flag.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
Well the Note3 never had 4.1.1. Having said that, it is unlikely that you can. If you're on a Samsung phone, they increment the bootloader. Which prevents going backwards, and usually fails to flash in odin.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] changt34x:
If you could add instructions to force B4 and switch back to automatic that would be great too.

This is what I posted in milan's thread:

To force B4 go to UE setting -> settings -> protocol -> NAS -> network control -> band selection -> LTE preference -> B4. To switch back to automatic do the same thing but choose automatic instead of LTE Band Preference.
