Great, same thing as S4

I managed to find a fix to not break time in recovery when rebooting into recovery from recovery menu

I will push the update in the next days
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] galaxys2jax:
Yes Same Here:

Need to Select the time Zone in the recovery???
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
v6.07.6 Update

In addition to a lot of fixes in touch and GUI (change log coming later in main thread, it adds:

Time Fix for affected users

This should be a one time fix

Now, if time is not fixed on first attempt, reboot to main ROM, sync in time, reboot into recovery and apply patch again

If you apply it twice, you'll break it. Redo above steps in that case

Please give your feedback
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tr72:
Try 3 times without success, with reboot on each try. I have 21h00 instead of 15h42 (I'm on gmt+1). Fun because in the previous version I didn't have problem with time and date.

I made a backup and the name begin with 01.01.1980. Install a custom rom, aroma worked great.

Sorry for the bad news and merry christmas.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
Thanks

I will revert it as before then

Sounds every device is different

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] I've read & searched. but nothing could be found. Will there ever be a Phil's recovery for SM-N900? I've had a good journey with it, and I don't want it to end now.

Just an suggestion on the topic created; most of the developers use a format like [ROM]... [script] etc, in our case [Recovery] with release date version and model supports.

can we have the same format here?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
No, because, unlike ROM devs, I maintain above 60 threads for different devices

Unless I get a secretary for this, I do not plan to update thread titles on every build
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jetbruceli:
Just to note here. His recovery is all over the place. It would hoah of everyone to just pay attention to the thread to find out information. I have been using his recovery on just about every device i have had since I heard of it.

Hello friends !

can this version of philz be used on a t-mobile galaxy note3 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] turilo:
yes actually it does, you might have to edit the updater.script if you get an error upon install

How can i format internal sdcard (sdcard0 - emmc)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Le Ch@land:
Hi Phil3759,

Happy to see you here.

Thank you for porting to the n-9005 lte

6.04.4 is at this time the best for me, the 6.07.6 is time bugged for me too.

Others basics tests i did, backups, custom restore, aroma fm, wipes cache & dalvik, install zip worked fine.

Thank you again for your work and i wish you a good end of year festival (too soon for the next one :cool:)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jetbruceli:
Just go to mount

Select format sdcard

All internal will be deleted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iRoNX:
This will format external SD card
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jetbruceli:
Yeah sorry it's format data/data media
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iRoNX:
No, this is not the correct command.

This will format the /Android/data and /Android/obb.
[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] There is no option to format the /sdcard0?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
sdcard is inside data

In mounts and storage you have the option and it is in faq
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jetbruceli:
That is to delete all on your internal or just use root explorer and delete everything

i used to use your CWM on Note1 N7000 with all upgrades

Now I have Note 3 4G N9005 Build MJ7 rooted with URDLV

Can I use this hlte (!!) file for my phone? or which one should I use?

did not find any Note 3 files in your Original CWM thread except this one!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Alyseon:
Hlteeur version.

Sent From My Sm-N9005 ????
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:
sorry, did not understand what u mean by : Hlteeur

do u mean that i can use this hlte version with my phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Alyseon:
My mistake, I thought this was lean kernel :eek:

Yes you can flash the hlte version on your phone.

Sorry for the misunderstanding :(

Sent From My Sm-N9005 ????
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:
Ok, no problem :D

so all i have to do is download the file and flash it via pc Odin?

1- i was told to flash CF-Root first before flash normal CWM (Not PhilZ version) because iam rooted with URDLV method, what is case here?

2- I read in another forum that when ever i restart my phone after flashing Philz CWM, i will find the stock recovery till i modify some system files!!

3- can I do the flashing via mobile odin pro on my phone?

kindly guide me to proper installation (flashing) :angel:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tr72:
You just have to flash Philz Touch, nothing more to do. It works with odin and mobile odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Sammath:
Flashing a custom recovery will set your knox status to 0x1 thus voiding your warranty. Just saying it as a reminder.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:
Done via mobile odin pro, working but CWM time if 5 min more than my time (after adjusting the time from CWM settings)

Ya, I know that , and iam already Knox 0x1 , thats why iam getting all the features from rooting:laugh:

I think this warring should be in 1st post 4 non aware people
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:
I did a backup today and found that backup folder name is 28-1-1970 !!!!

how to fix that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tr72:
It's a known issue. Not easy for PhilZ to work small details without having the Note 3. Read post #109 in the thread. Doesn't work for me but it can, I came back to version 6.0.4.4.

Or you can simply rename the folder with your backup in a file explorer.

Happy new year to PhilZ and everyone
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thermax04:

Time is broken, at least for me

Can't mount USB Storage.

If I have the time I will try a backup later, do you need a try with exfat card?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Pianoman144:
short question.. what is the difference between the hlte and the hltexx version ? i've downloaded and flashed the hltexx now .. because the hlte isnt updated isnt it ?

I have flashed CWM Philz Version here, and after trying a rom that didnt boot, i tried to restore my nandroid of my stock rooted rom. This has worked, the nandroid has been restored, however, some of the apps (that were on sdcard (moved via the OS)), aren't visible and cannot be opened. Also, I have lost root and TiBu and Rom Manager both force close on boot. everything else is working..

Any information that can be thrown my way will help. :)

Thanks for you efforts, Phil. Keep it up :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:

Strange problem. With the last update I can't reboot. i'm stuck on the samsung logo. I tried to wipe cache an d dalvik but it didn't solve.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Le Ch@land:
Hi Phil,

Upgraded to your last recovery,

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltexx/philz_touch_6.08.7-hltexx.zip

Correct me if i was wrong... :silly:

I was before on the 6.04.4 version

http://d-h.st/2jZ

Which is for me the finest at this time because there is no time related bug and basics operation works fine. :cowboy:

So i flashed the update in recovery mode, no with mobile odin or pc odin.

First reboot after the update, i got boot-loop: the system booted completly but after about 30 seconds, it's rebooted himself :mad:

Rebooted 3 times, boot-looped 3 times...

Returned in recovery mode by using the manual combinaison, re-flashed the 6.04.4, rebooted. Still Boot-loop...

At this state, i was afraid to had bricked my note3.

Returned again to recovery, whiped cache and dalvik cache, restored the efs by using custom restore, all went back fine. :victory:

I noticed that the phone was very hot at this point.

I can not say if this is the wipes or the restore of the efs which re-live the phone...

Maybe you are already aware of this fact, but i noticed this too:

In the recovery, when you reset the settings, you obtain the good time, but it is as if the clock was frozen, wait a moment, reset the settings, reboot into recovery without restore the settings as asked, and the clock is a new time approximatly correct, it's work too if you delete the clockwordmod settings in android before boot into recovery.

I have the french rom of the n9005 lte, latest pda avaible on sam mobile.

I have a question, probably a noob one, but, if you have a version where the time is no bugged, why don't you keep the related parts and implement then in your futures updates ?

Finnally, thanks for your work.

I whishe you an happy new year. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phil3759:
Because I do not own the phone.

So, it is much easier for me to rely on existing developers updating CM repo. It is still undergoing a heavy developement by cm team.

Just got my sony version - can say this phone is beast mode. There is a pending update to .257 and someone told me that if I update to this, i will be locked out of any ROMs, including any google edition ROM. Can anyone verify this or comment? I have NOT updated to .257 yet.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's not that dramatic. If you update now, you'll have to downgrade again to 532 if you want to root. You'll need root and Recovery if you want to flash the GPE ROM when it gets released, so you're only saving yourself one step by not updating to 257 now :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LxMxFxD:
Lord, good to see you again - remember you from the GT-N7000 forum! So since of course I want root, I shouldn't update to .257. Am I understanding this correctly?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Correct. There are currently no way to root 257, so we have to root 532 and update through OTA to keep root on 257.

- Use this tool to root

- Install OTA Root Keeper from the Play Store

- Since you've already received the OTA, you don't need to change the CDA in build.prop (to force the OTA), so...

- Update to 257

- The root app (i'm not sure what app it installs) may be gone, so just install SuperSU from the Play Store if it's not in your app drawer.

And you're done...

... unless you also want to unlock the bootloader:

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. You really want to take a backup of your TA partition. It holds all your unique DRM keys, and X-Reality won't work without it. Once you lose it, you can't get it back, so back it up and upload it to your Dropbox or something. So how do you backup your TA partition?

- Download this tiny tool on your computer and run it.

Are you done? Great! Let's move on to the bootloader:

- Go to Sony's dev site

- Request the unlock key and check your mail.

- Install Flashtool on your computer (follow the guide)

- Click the "lightning" icon

- Follow the steps and enter your unlock key

This may wipe your phone, so backup your stuff

And you're done...

... unless you want to install Recovery and TWRP!

Installing Recovery and TWRP is easy. Just run this tool on your computer.

Now you're all set to flash custom ROMs and all that stuff :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LxMxFxD:
Lord,

Thanks again. And for anyone googling this thread, you'll need the android SDK to get these scripts running. The android SDK can be downloaded here:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Once downloaded and extracted, add it to your environment path.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Actually... You only need ADB and Fastboot. You can install this Windows installer which will do all the work for you. I'm sorry if you installed the entire SDK :p I should have included it in the guide.

If not, does anyone have a link to 532 ftf english/international. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] techpal:
You can select your language from set up wizard after installing rom. i too downloaded HK fw.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
Thank you very much.

I'm new to Sony flashing. Recently bought a XZU (6833) after learning about GPe release. I havent gotten it as yet but i've spent the last few days reading up on preparing for flashing AOSP roms. I'm still not 100% solid on the steps as information is all over the XZU section, not really organised too well. A lot of the information is out of date and there are many gaps that left me scratching my head...

As far as I can gather, these are the steps a new XZU non GPe edition owner should undergo if they would like to flash GPe roms(or any other)...please correct me if I am wrong.

1) Use flashtool 0.9 to flash older 532 firmware ftf file. (does not require root and can be done on a bone stock device non GPe device regardless of installed firmware version). Link here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463701. Now I know Hong Kong version is ok. 532 is older than 257. 257 cannot be rooted directly hence the need to downgrade first.

2) Root using the Japanese rootkitZ Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559009 (I assume this installs Superuser as there is a Superuser APK in the folder)

3) Install root keeper to retain root privilege. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper. (temporary, must be kept installed at all times or only after OTA? If not doing OTA to 257, is this even necessary?)

4) Backup TA partition with TA backup tool 9.9 to retain original keys for xreality etc.(must be rooted to do this), If partition isnt backed up, these features would be lost forever. This works only with Sony roms anyway so if you plan on only running GPe roms, this isnt necessary?

5) Unlock bootloader using Sony method. Link:http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

6) Performing OTA update not manditory if flashing to an AOSP rom anyway? I saw mention of changing some build.prop entries for this to before OTA update shows when you check for updates? Is that necessary? If so, what are the changes?

7) Flash cwm/twrp using xzu recovery 4. Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426739. The instructions specify to run superuser.bat or supersu.bat. There is only a run.bat file in the folder and this is what you must run After launching there are several options. (If using the root method from step 2, I assume you have to use the SuperUser (option2) when running the tool).

8) Flash any rom (If going back to a Sony rom, must flash to 532 first to get root. Then update through OTA.

Please can someone edit and/or add details where necessary.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

To what scripts are you referring? Can you help me by fleshing out my above post?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
If you're not planning on keeping the stock ROM, and you want to jump straight to a custom ROM, then no, it's not necessary to install OTA Root Keeper.

You don't need to back it up, but it's recommended even if you're going to use custom ROMs. What if you're having some issues with your ZU, and you have to send it in for repairs? Sony will notice if the DRM keys aren't there and they'll then know that you've unlocked the bootloader.

No, this part isn't necessary if you don't want to.

Yes, run the bat-file and choose SuperSU in the terminal.

Before you start flashing custom ROMs, make a NAND backup of the stock ROM. This way, if you want to go back, all you have to do is to flash a boot.img and restore it, and you'll end up exactly where you left off (with root).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CptAwesomeTT:
I thank you for your patience :) I understand what you've said so far.Please bear with me a while longer.

Pertaining to point 7, that xzu recovery uses supersu apk so one would have to choose the supersu option and not superuser right?

Next, looking at the omni rom thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2548107), I am seeing one single download available in the OP (which is the rom itself), however on the last page (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48441587&postcount=273), I am seeing people referencing editing changing biuld.prop and flashing boot.img images.

1) How does one know when it is necessary to do any of the above.

2) I am comfortable with editing build.prop but where is the boot.img come from. How do I know when this needs to be flashed?

3) How do you flash the boot.img files? Through cwm or the flashtool?

4) Some gapps come with recovery? Why is that necessary?

A million thanks.

I gotta say, now having the phone for about 12 hours, this phone is simply impressive. I had a nexus 5 briefly which had the same cpu and ram, but it was not as smooth and speedy as the xperia z ultra.
