The way I did mine was to remove my SD card that contained everything that I usually have on it. Did not want to wipe that by accident, just the internal memory. If you want to wipe SD card, then you can remove it and place into your PC and copy everything over. Then format it whatever you like. I used exFAT. After that I just copied back over everything I wanted including this ROM, latest Safestrap, Towelroot apk, latest NK1 modem, and the latest .zip version of Supersu. Still leaving the SD card out of the phone.

Then I wiped everything in Safestrap inc. System, Data, both Caches, and internal data. Then rebooted into Download mode and plugged phone into PC and used Odin and the NC4 TAR to flash from this thread:

This is what really wipes your phone and gives you a fresh start. After that is done, I believe the phone will auto reboot. At that time I just pulled the battery and shut it down. I then booted into the stock recovery of the phone(which is different from Safestrap now as it is the regular stock Samsung recovery), and then proceeded to wipe everything. Shut down system and put SD card back in.Rebooted back into system which is now fresh stock like you just got the phone. Then proceeded to re-root, safestrap and flash this ROM and everything else.

This ROM is so sweet I have no desire to upgrade to a new phone, why would I want a phone that doesn't have all of the amazing customization options that I have with this ROM.

I tried lollipop when I had my S4 and there are a lot of features that I really liked but not at the expense of losing what this ROM has to offer.

new phone is not on NC4 but N900VVRUDNK1

Hey guys had to get a replacement phone.

It has a weird build and towelroot wont let me root to install safestrap.

It says:

Android Version 4.4.4

Baseband Version N900VVRUDNK1

Kernal Version:

3.4.0

dpi@SWdd6222 #1

Build Number

KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1

How do I go about installing this rom? My last phone was on NC4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] schnieb:
Join the club...in a nut shell. ....WE ARE SCREWED! I'm in the same boat.

No source of root after 4.4.2. .

Believe me...I've been looking. I'm sure the only solution is to find an older phone with 4.4.2. Good luck...if you figure it out please post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dpoverlord:
This is nuts.... there is no way way to ODIN back? Everything I am reading says it is impossible. The Note 4 is not even rooted at this point, and if we are stuck without root the Note 4 is a superior phone. This is crazy, if I had wanted a new phone instead of a replacement phone I would have gotten one.

What are you guys doing?? I have my old Note 3 and I guess I could try replacing it myself but this puts me in a really bad bind. What do you guys suggest.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] christianpeso:
What wrong with the old one? If its just a screen issue, you can try buying one online and replacing it yourself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] schnieb:
I feel your pain, I call it "Root Withdrawals".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dpoverlord:
I understood on the Note 4 that root was not as big of an issue. However, I loved on the Note 3 with root I was able to mod the OS and everythign
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Legato Bluesummers:
I have held off installing this for months cause I was hoping I'd get a dev edition note 4. But money... So... Fail. I've been using just rooted stock with xposed framework and other simple mods. It's finally starting to act buggy and slow and I guess I'm ready to flash this. On NC2. Launch note 3. So very old. LoL newest safe strap installed.

I've flashed countless ROMs before so I'm not new, been doing this since Droid x. My only issue is I have no working pc right now. So i have nowhere to back up my internal SD card. Can i just wipe data without wiping internal SD in safe strap? and then flash the OS? Or do I really need to wipe my internal SD? Cause that means I'm not doing this for a while. LoL

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
I'm sorry to hear that your replacement phone has 4.4.4. I'm sure your aware that your stuck. Unless you can find another note 3 on swappa that has kitkat 4.4.2. Your just going have to wait till a dev figures out root for 4.4.4 or lollipop 5.0. But you know as well as most of us know, it's not going to come. Like you mentioned, note 4 still has no root. You have a few options, besides the obvious of jumping ship and going another phone. Best of luck :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DieselNY:
I had to get a refurbished phone through Asurion insurance, it just came in the mail. Thank God is 4.4.2 as I see I can still flash this rom but it doesn't say NC4 next to the Kernel but it has it at the end if the build number.

Can anyone tell me based on my phones info if I am ok to proceed with this rom again

As long as you are still on 4.4.2, then you are able to root and install this ROM. You lucked out!

Hey guys - I've been running this ROM for a week now and I love everything about it except battery life. I always run with location and bluetooth off and wifi off when away from home but my phone is always warm when it's sleeping. I lose 20% in the first few hours off the charger with little use. I've had luck with previous phones with flashing lean kernel etc. What do you recommend?

I have been running this rom for a while and I feel like things are starting to get sluggish and battery performance could be better.

Would I actually gain any improvements if I wipe and reflash and start fresh ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
I've done that for years with all my phones. I'll reflash rom after just a cache wipe. I'm currently running jb.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
If you're running on any of the slots (1-4), this could be your issue. If not, I'd run something like Greenify to hibernate apps that are not in use so they do not run in the background.

In my sig there is a Battery Life link for additional suggestions if you are not already well versed on battery saving ideas.

I was just thinking about this today. It's about time to freshen up Alliance Build 2!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] werkem:
Is that all i need to do , is clear the cache and reflash the rom ? This will essentially keep all my apps the way they are correct

What is your method of madness to do this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
I also have been experiencing this issue myself. I noticed that I've been getting HUGE battery drain/loss even though the phone is sitting at idle. But I also tether to my hp envy/lenovo ultra tab book. So there's my battery drain there :D. Also it helps if you have good signal at work or if your on wifi as well. I get TERRIBLE reception at work. 2 bars of 3G is what I average. Having a good LTE signal will also save you some battery life. But I'm used to having bad service and I know that My battery life is shot every time I go to work. But I agree with AZbiker, it might be time to reflash the rom and start fresh :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Keeps data, apps, ect when you just wipe cache. Even home screen set up. Cache and dalvik.

Yep I had Alliance on Slot 1 and Stock left alone on stock slot. So I wiped and restored Alliance onto stock and deleted Slot 1 and it's already running a lot cooler and the battery has dropped only 1% in the last two hours. Thanks so much!!! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Glad that fixed it!

Alliance Build 2 might be a little long in the tooth, but it's still a TOP Note 3 rom! Even without LP.

Hell, the 1911A1 .45 design is 104 yrs old, and is arguably STILL the best single action handgun in the world!

When it's done right, it'll last a long , long, long time!

Just like Alliance!

Oh man now you're talking my language! I've been carrying my 1911 daily for years. My all time favorite!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Exactly my point. My Kimber .45 will be a formidable defensive handgun for decades to come.

Alliance Build 2, even though it's no longer in development for Note 3, will be a fantastic Rom for the life of the Note 3!

I carry both: my .45 loaded with Gold Dot 200gr +p, and my Note 3 loaded with Alliance Build 2 :D

I just wanted to pop in and say I'v had my verizon note 3 since launch. Up until may of last year I couldn't imagine why anyone would root their phone it just did everything stock so well. By June it started to delay on opening apps and progressively got worse. My contract isn't up until October but was about to say F it and just go buy the note 4. I finally said to hell with it an lets try a custom rom. This got the beset ratings I saw so I threw it on and oh my god you've got to be kidding me. I can't believe I've went all this time without this ROM. Its F'ing lightning!!! My battery was dying ALL the time etc and now it lasts forever again.

I just wanted to say thank you all for what you've done. You absolutely killed it with this ROM and rejuvenated my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
Welcome to the party. You'll notice that life is just a bit easier, root, safestrap, rom slots and more importantly lots of roms available for this phone. Both in the Jellybean and Kitkat flavor. :D

This ROM is awesome!

I tried the Note 3 and really liked it but for me it was just to big to be comfortable so I went back to my trusty S4.

Using this ROM made that decision hard.

Either restore nandroid from recovery or reflash the rom.

I would never ever restore nandroid data from a different firmware, even using titanium backup you need to be really selective about what to restore and what not to

Edit : I am not an expert on this strap on thingy you guys got going but seems to me you should try to odin flash back to the recovery you were on and proceed to try and restore your backup
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tjmethod:
Hi thanks foe your reply- safestrap from what I know is the verizon version of twrp- I can't tell the difference besides safestrap has red and green screen colors along with black and white.

Anyway, I can't get into recovery since the pricess errors are coming ar me almost rapid fire. I like the idea of using odin- since I saved the nandroud backup on my laptop can I use odin to flash the rom onto the phone and if so can I delete everything from the phone before doing so? Thanks for your help-

TJ
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Safestrap is because of the locked bootloader. You can't install regular twrp on Verizon version... If you are unable to enter safestrap then u will have to Odin the stock firmware and start over with rerooting and installing safestrap. You can't flash the nandroid via Odin, only stock firmware. U should be able to enter safestrap from the bootup splash screen after a reboot.

Didn't know your situation. Serpa obviously does have root, so he can technically go to 5.1 if interested. At least I think that's a possibility.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] serpa4:
I definately have root. Don't want any version of LP. I'd like to go back to KK.

99% of the reason is that I need to have Xposed. I used too many features that I cannot do without in LL since Xposed doesn't support LP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Check that thread on xda. Xposed is part of that whole flash routine to 5.1, although how many modules work is probably severely limited. I can assure you you can't go back to KK though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] serpa4:
What about going back to JB? I dislike LP that much.

I have most of the modems so I will try your suggestion of nc4 Odin afterwards. Nitros eclipse says it needs nc4 unified firmware.
