Man! I'm glad it worked out for you.

You'll love Alliance! I've kept it for almost a year with no dev support. It makes the Note 3 feel very new!

Just to make sure this doesn't happen again, I'm updating the OP from this:

"Say Goodbye To Jelly Bean 4.3

Verify That You Are Running ANY rooted 4.3 Rom on STOCK SLOT & Using SafeStrap 3.71 or earlier"

to THIS:

"Say Goodbye To Jelly Bean 4.3

Verify That You Are Running ANY CUSTOM 4.3 Rom on STOCK SLOT & Using SafeStrap 3.71 or earlier, THEN proceed"

I'm just happy for you that you are now enjoying the brilliance that is Alliance! I still have it on my Note 3, and my Note 3 still screams!

Thanks a Million!!!

az_biker-

Thanks again so much for hanging with me through all this!!! I think I was definitely the "problem child"..... I've been getting my new Alliance all set up - I can see it will take me a while to learn about all the potential it has... I like how it's working, looks, etc.... - I've been messing with the status bar look blending Alliance & Gravity Box features re: Battery: I was a bit concerned about how reception would be with it, though I understand it's not the ROM, but the radios/modems that impact that... But anyway, so far the reception seems good! As I said, I have lots of exploring to do!....

One other edit you may make on the instructions, although I'm not sure is the instructions say flash the NC2 file or the latest Alliance Build; based on what I experienced I think you said that we must first flash the hlte.vzw_root_nc2.zip. And then you can flash the newest Alliance build - Again, I'm not sure, but that's what I ended up doing...

Anyway thanks a million az_biker for helping me!!! :highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
I made a nand of a FRESH install.

Then I went through the Alliance settings 1 tab at a time and just tried everything. The trickiest stuff to change I think, is the "unlinked colors."

But there are at least 10 BILLION ways to customize your Note 3 with Alliance!

It's no longer being developed, but the thread is still open, and there are some users who check in from time to time if you need anything.

You can always hit me up as well.

Enjoy the new year with your Note 3 dripping all that Alliance goodness :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jellyhead:
So I was already on a stock deodex NC4 build. I just wanted to try Alliance ROM out before installing to the stock rom slot so I installed to slot 1. I noticed a bunch of odd behavior. Notably these 3 problems right off

- one handed keyboard would not show

- reboot menu was not functioning, only shutdown worked

- back button would not work most of the time.

Are these type of problems due to not installing to the stock rom slot?

I also asked this in the Alliance ROM topic but there isn't much activity there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milski65:
You could find yourself having issues if running on anything other than stock slot. I'm sure some may have had success, but I gave up on running more than stock slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
I know many complained about terrible batt life when using other than Stock Slot. Also, make sure you're running SS 3.75... IIRC 3.72 allows using of the slots, but wasn't very stable when using slots.

az_biker-

I have a dumb question. My understanding is that Alliance b-2 is the latest/greatest for the Note 3; I've been reading from the start of Bajasur's thread dealing with Alliance b-2 and he mentions b-3 coming/came out.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2553357&page=10

Is this different than Alliance? - More importantly, is Alliance b_2 the best rom to be on for the GN3.... I assume it is, but I get a tad confused when I see Baja referring to Build 3. Thanks for any info on this.

edit: Is the thread above http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2553357&page=10 the best place to learn the ins & outs of Alliance Build 2? - Are the changes referred to in that thread incorporated in Alliance b-2??? Thanks in advance for any info on this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
The build 3 comment you linked is actually what Baja was going to call it, but since the orig Build 2 had just come out, they just kept the name Build 2 instead of jumping to Build 3. So short answer, no Build 3.

Alliance build 2 certainly isn't the latest, and since I've not tried any of the Note 3 LP roms, and can't say it;s the greatest.

But I CAN say with the rock solid stability and extreme amount of customization Alliance offers, it would be extremely unlikely anything better for the Note 3 would be more stable, and offer the ability to revert firmware.

I've had Alliance build 2 since Oct 14, and have never felt like my Note 3 was outdated, slow, or boring.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] straykat:
az_biker,

Thanks a million for your reply. I'll read through the above thread to learn as much as I can... it'll take a while! Thanks for clarifying that it is all about Alliance build 2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SBH:
Followed the steps as posted took about 10 mins to do everything. Installed the app, it downloaded drivers for the phone. Hit ok and install when prompted on the phone, reboot. Root. It already had superSU on it, but i flashed the latest using the method mentioned in the post. Biggest surprise is that my phone has the "unlock" icon when it reboots and it says "custom" right at the Note 3 start up screen. Is that supposed to be there?Thought this just rooted, not unlocked?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Kancerstick:
for anyone that has done this method.... did you install "mtkcamera" and "diaggetroot" ?? These come up after pressing the green root button on Kingo. I didnt know what to do so i let my phone sit when the prompts were up. I dont know why but kingo put my phone in a bootloop for some reason until I pulled my USB cable.

I checked odin and my knox was not tripped.

I googled them and there are people saying its malware, is this true?

Am i supposed to install these? it was not mentioned in the original post at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] FormeriPhoney:
There was a response from kingo regarding those accusations. I don't think it's a huge concern. Just delete the program from your pc and update your root access to chainfire SuperSU.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Mine also shows unlocked, but it means rooted, not unlocked bootloader...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
I've read the same concerns on these files. Delete kingo app from your pc (run anti-virus /malware scan), install trusted superSU, and enjoy. Of the untold thousands of people who have rooted using Kingo, I haven't read a single substantiated account of anything nefarious related to kingo app.

Taking the easy, quick steps to remove any possible 'leftovers' from Kingo, and keeping an eye out for anything weird is all you can do.

Now where is my rom. Haha jk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Which ROM is yours?

I'd gladly add it... it's not like I'm stalking you... you'd freak if ten seconds after you publish your rom, I had it ADDED to my thread!

Post it and I'll add it :D

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] FormeriPhoney:
You have a PM sir
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] RypeDub:
If you have a Passcode of ANY kind, you need to set screen timeout to 10 minutes.

Kingo needs to install a few apps to get the root properly.

You also need your device unlocked to accept the installation of the root apps.

I did it like 5 times and it kept failing, then I set screen timeout to 10 minutes and then I was getting the popups to install the root apps.

After about 2 more times it finally worked.

Since your post is on the front page, can you edit it to include some of the information to other users?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Great catch! I realized this may have been the problem and why I needed three attempts to root with Kingo, but I never remembered to update the OP... Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] vj950:
I come from LG Spectrum (they now have KitKat) and know only a bit about rooting and flashing, but completely noob with Note 3 and Knox.

I just want to root (no flashing ROMs, just to freeze apps and block ads) AND maintain warranty. I have following questions:

Will rooting with Kingo change the following in ODIN mode?:

A. Current Binary: Samsung Official

B. System Status: Official

I do know that Kingo keeps 0x0 in warranty void section (correct?)

I am on MJ7 and have not taken OTA yet.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
I've used kingo several times, no changes at all in odin screen. Both knox settings have always been 0x0...

Hehe. My phone got stuck in boot loop so I went back and re-read through your post and noticed that I was credited for contributing!! Boo yeah~! Thank you, sir for the props.

Currently in the process of re-configuring B5 at the moment on JE no less! I was a bit nervous while the phone was boot looping, but opted to re-boot the PC and pull the battery. Not sure which of the factors made it stick, but hi ho, hi ho, back to customization we go!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rudybic:
Getting the details handled on my new note3

Thanks to all of you for your most generous help on this site.

Where I am so far is: I got it out of the box, took the first OTA to MJ7, rooted it with Kingo just fine (after figuring out to get it into developer mode with the several quick button pushes on that certain greyed box in the 'about phone' info). That step is very well hidden, and I had to Google it to get back to the right forum info post on that subject. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2494996

And setting the phone to stay on as long as it was externally powered handles that problem with timeout during Kingo install.

So then I was in more familiar territory.

Installed and updated SuperSU, then installed Safestrap. Got the latest Beans download, odexed (is the deodexed better?) checked its md5, and have that zip file sitting on my SD card.

Haven't taken the step to go through the Safestrap process just yet to install it. Catching my breath.

AND I am confused and worried about these items:

First, my Titanium Backup Pro does NOT think the phone is rooted, even though Rootchecker does, and so does Adfree. I unrooted and rerooted with Kingo, but still no joy. Titanium DOES NOT WORK, "NO ROOT".

Second, Verizon wanted to give me that second update this morning, and could not do so. I unrooted and tried again,

Did not work.

Is that because of Safestrap sitting there? Do I need it to uninstall it to get that OTA? Do I need that OTA installed before I go to Beans so it has a failsafe genuine Verizon backup with all the new stuff installed that matches the new Beans? Can I do it some other way?

I am willing to go the last mile and put the new beans on. But need advice and guidance about the Titanium and OTA update issues first.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Make a backup if you haven't already.

Follow the link to flash MJE tar file via Odin. This will get you to absolute most recent STOCK OEM. Then follow the rooting, safestrap, etc steps.

Let me know how that goes.

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hctimin:
I downloaded the JE tar located here:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196106

Installed it via Odin [I used v3.09]. After the installation is complete, your phone will be updated directly from J7 to JE with no OTA needed.

Then you do the whole Kingo to get Root. Followed by Flashing Chainfires SU file to get rid of the files Kingo installs [MTKCamera and something else]

Install SafeStrap via APK for SafeStrapping awesomeness then,.....off to happy ROM flashing!

az_biker's original post has all the links/info you need! So far,....so good. *knock on wood*
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] amebiasis:
Sorry if its been asked but if we set superuser into survival mode would it withstand Odin and not require kingo? Just wondering thanks!

Sorry to ask here but figured if it was in the wrong place you guys would let me know. I was attempting to install a rom on my verizon note 3. I followed all the steps to flash in stock slot except I kept slot one loaded with my working backup. I am afraid that I misunderstood and did not fully wipe the stock slot:( I hope that is no the case!!! but now phone just freezes at the Samsung Galaxy note 3 screen. Did I totally screw myself. Just paid full retail and I feel so dumb. I have used SS on my xt912 and never had problems.

Can anyone help?

Sorry again if this is in the wrong place

P.S. trying to flash Jelly Beans

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hctimin:
I believe that if you flash the .tar via Odin, everything is going to disappear and you're going to be left with and updated Stock JE installation.

Once you get Root/SS installed again, you could restore your previous working backup if you saved it you an external SD card or something,...else you might have to re-set everything up again.

Not a bad thing persay since you'd start with a clean slate, and we ALL download a bunch of apps that we don't use,...

FYI, there's a setting when you're syncing your phone with Google that it asks you about backing up/restoring to your Google Play account. I check those boxes and all the apps that I previously installed automatically start re-downloading,...it's just a matter of re-setting up my homescreens,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] amebiasis:
Thanks I'll give it a shot! I'm upgrading from MI9, wonder if that makes a difference.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] greezmky666:
Thank you. I will try that, we have bad net here so it will take forever to get the tar. I am not worried about apps haven't set the phone up because I have been playing with root and stuff. I think I know what I did now. I wiped the stock slot but did not activate it and then flashed over the backup that I tested. Do you still think odin and the tar will help? I feel so dumb and I know there is not support for dirty flash but please know that was not my intent!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Makes no diff. You'll be running MJE, just like outta the box. ..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Hctimin is correct. Flash MJE tar, start fresh, restore mj7 backup if you want (but I'd just flash Beans Build 5 totally based on MJE update- see his link in OP near bottom.)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hctimin:
No worries at all. It's all about learning.

If you look at az_biker's post immediately above, you'll see that once you flash the JE tar file, you're pretty much back at stock.

All SS slots, previous flashes, and root are gone, so it's like you have a brand new phone,..to re-root, and re-Safestrap to make more slots, then flash ROMs again. It's like Christmas came early :)

Helpppppppppppppp

I have downloaded the kingo app on my pc, rooted, downloaded safestrap, installed chainfire's SU update to replace the kingo su and I believe I am rooted. I get the safestrap 10sec screen when I reboot, and my main goal is to get wifi tether working. Unfortunately it wont work and it's constantly questioning if I am rooted.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction for this? I'm on the newest update, got my phone about 2 days ago and I am only missing activating my wireless hotspot (without paying an extra 30$)

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lownignitus:
Mje disabled the loophole letting you use hotspot without paying....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] greezmky666:
I was under the impression that flashing a custom rom like jelly beans would solve this, is that not the case?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
It gives you a code to enter when setting up hot spot...

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] lownignitus:
Activating the hotspot on rooted stock using the work around does not work anymore on mje. It fails every time. And I'm not gonna pay $30 for a feature that should be free.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
If I understand correctly, you're rooted, installed safestrap, and have either the stock of custom rom installed, correct?

Are you on MI9, MJ7, or MJE?

If running custom rom what rom is it? IIRC some roms were losing Wi-Fi tethering and Hotspot. You'll have to check the individual threads to see what the traffic is for that particular thread. Again, IIRC, Beans Build 5 still has wifi tether and hotspot. I don't use either, but I believe they are still working in Build 5 (which is a MJE build, so you'll need to be running MJE baseband)...

Let me know what's up!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
I did a thread search on "Hot Spot not working", "hot spot" "Hotspot" in Beans build 5 thread, as well as browsed over the last 20 or so pages since Build 5 (MJE based) dropped, and I didn't see any reports of broken Hotspot.

Could I have missed them? Sure. But I am on the thread quite a bit daily and don't recall users complaining about broken hotspot.

I do know a few other rom threads had traffic about broken wifi tethering and hotspot, but I mainly keep up with Beans.

Not trying to argue, just highlighting the possibility that Beans 5 might not break hotspot...I don't use it, so it is a non-issue for me.

Getting it done.

Thanks, guys! Almost there.

Figured out how to put the phone in Odin mode having first got Samsung USB drivers version 1.5.27.0 located and installed, how to run Odin 3.09, and I got the new MJE update

on to the phone.

Some white knuckles there for a bit.

Odin is a bit stark when it comes to hints, help, and when to connect the USB cable to the phone.

Turns out that Odin wanted the MJE file unzipped first, (even though the checksum provided to check the download's md5 was for the zipped file), so I somehow thought Odin would be happy with that. (Some android programs seem to think that zip packed file versions are just fine to use with them, seems that safestrap works fine with a zipped file from what I have seen, but let me know if that is wrong. Not there yet.)

And I had to find my copy of the 7-zip program ... while the phone was sitting there all the while with this HUGE warning not to turn it off. AARGH!

Next time I will run Odin first and have it ready to go before I get the phone into Odin mode.

But it got there.

Rooted again with Kingo, it worked fine. And Titanium Backup is now perfectly happy with the root situation on the MJE.

Will get Safestrap back up. Beans ... maybe tomorrow. I will reread all the key postings very carefully first.

They expect me do keep on doing work at the office. Slowing me down.

Thanks again!

So I have been trying to get Kingo to connect to my phone. I have the latest drivers, I have it set to USB debugging mode.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rhidalgo1973:
It took me about 40 minutes for Kingo to recognized my phone, it kept on saying "installing drivers", I was also frustrated but I decided it to wait and finally I got it going...so I can only suggest you to be patient and try again..If you just recently installed the drivers it would be a good idea to re-start your computer and then open Kingo to retry the process again, just my 2 cents.:good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rhidalgo1973:
Just wondering about this warning I received from the Verizon Support and Protection app after rooting the phone with Kingo...does it mean that I triggered Knox? or it is something else?
