Haha. Your pic is sick man.

i already have a back up of it. but after safestrap decided to freak out on me last night (not rebooting from the app, not uninstalling itself, got myself in a boot loop [which i fixed no problem]} i am just going to hold out on flashing anything until the next release of safe strap with working rom slots.

i appreciate the advice though! as soon as i get a new laptop (hopefully within the next month or two) i can actually help with development not just debugging and testing.

i should also probably stop working on this stuff after working a 14 hour shift at work, my brain clearly isnt firing on all cylinders.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
The last comment says everything. You really need to follow instructions to a tee with a clear head (Wait, I was drinking Red Bull and Vodka) but any ways. I was on MJ5 before all of this. Had the Note 2 and really was a flash a holic or whatever. Here is what I did.

Tried the dry flash. [12-10-13]-Much Simpler-Flash Roms Without Recovery

Did the restore thread. ALL STEPS Wifi Fix** Restore for MJ5 - Knox 0x0 + root

Was successful in dry flashing.

Safestrap by Hashcode came out.

Went tottally back to stock and factory reset in setting menu (Stock settings)

Turned on my phone and it was like a new factory reset phone would look

First app I installed after entering my google BS sign in (which is better than Idonttunes) was busybox installer then SAFESTRAP

Not that I know what that does, I just have a feel for Sh and read a lot.

In SAFESTRAPS recovery I backed up my stock ROM

Then I installed the X-Note 6 in the ACTIVE STOCK ROM SLOT with bri315317's thread and BAM.

DONE SON,

Let me/us know what happens.

Did a back up
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bri315317:
Aside from installing Safestrap. This really isn't any different that any other device. Backup - Flash - restore if needed.

I will admit that aroma does throw a bone in it but it ain't that bad.

If you have flashed on any other phone then this is a walk in the park.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akdrift:
not bad at all. i used safe strap on my s4 with mj5. it wasn't an issue at all. this is actually way easier than when i had a nexus 4s. although we can't do kernels i almost prefer using safe strap. it is way easier for me at the moment because i'm using this stupid chromebook with an arm processor and although i have it running ubuntu i can't use terminal to flash anything. adb doesn't work on it because there no drivers for the arm.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akdrift:
i can't run a virtual machine on it because of the ARM. i cant run wine or anything that would help. this "laptop" is nothing more than a glorified cell phone.

so at the moment i'm stuck. i have an old gateway laptop that is missing half the keys, the charge port is bad and the battery is bad but i can get it half working to do basic stuff. odin, etc.

i'll pony up here in the next couple months and get a decent ultrabook with an i3 or i5 that i can run windows 7 and a linux distro on it. probably debian. we'll see what happens.

When it comes to use SS do you guys suggest wiping the stock ROM to allocate more space for a custom ROM slot? Just so we have as much space as possible and only use the stock ROM to update SS.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
I recommend backing up your rom. Then I wiped system/dalvik/cache/factory reset/ then installed my X Note. All is good
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-mack:
Man I'm so upset this won't work for me.

Let me ask this, when you're in safestrap is install and wipe colored red?

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Also when you factory reset did you do it from the phone settings or from SS?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
They are red

First I restored my phone completely back to stock. Then I went into settings (Phone) and factory reset.

Then I installed Busybox installer.

THen Safestrap

Installed recovery through safestrap

Rebooted

Booted into recovery (Safestrap) and backed up my phone

Booted back into recovery, went to wipe cache/dalvik/system/factory reset/ and flashed (In Stock Slot) X-Note 6

If you dont want to flash a ROM you can just flash your theme (No deoxidized themes will work on stock)

I didn't wipe anything to flash that theme I used. I just flashed it and wiped cache/dalvik after the flash and rebooted system.

Good Luck.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-mack:
Pretty much exactly what I did. Will do another factory reset and try to flash X-note 6 later today.

BTW I'm on MI9 using RDLV. Do I have to be on MJ5 (or whatever the current firmware is) for this to work?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cortez52:
I have a quick question, hoping someone will help me out. I've just installed the update to safestrap, an I want to delete that rom an put my stock rom back in the stock slot, an put xnote in Rom slot 1.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-mack:
okay so just for the heck of it I decided to try to flash the x-note 6 ROM. and it installed perfectly. then I tried to flash one of the air command themes and get fail again.

so frustrating....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cortez52:
C-mack did you try cleaning the cache an dalvik cache before flashing? I did this an it installed perfectly. Running the kitkat theme now
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-mack:
Yes I've tried wiping before, after and just for the heck of it... no luck...

I was able to have stock in the stock slot and put x-note in rom slot one. Only issue was I have no service provider on the x-note.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bri315317:
If you wipe, you will need to manually input your APN settings.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bailey2408:
so long as you backup both roms (either to internal or external memory) you can then switch to whichever slot you want and then restore the backups that you created to whichever slot you would like. I've done this numerous times to test and hasn't failed yet. I'm on mj5 root dela vega. When i rooted by kingo it gave me lots of issues. I've heard that updating busybox through playstore may help though.

Pretty sure I just bricked my phone for the first time...

Installed SS, rebooted the phone which brought me right to SS, did a backup, clicked the boot options and clicked Slot-1 and waited for it to finish doing what it does, installed KN0XRAID ROM on there, rebooted, now it sits at the Main Samsung Galaxy NOTE 2 splash with the padlock and won't ever load. I can't get into recovery, can't get into SS again, can't get into download mode, nothing... I assume my $800 device is now a paperweight until I unbrick?

EDIT: Finally got into Download Mode and Recovery. Not sure why they weren't working the first time. Phone still won't still sits at the screen as mentioned above and a factory reset did nothing.

HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?

Push the APK up to your sdcard.

Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.

[NEW 2013-12-19]Go into your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button

THEN, open a "file explorer" of some sort (even TW "My Files" will work)

Browse to where you pushed the APK

Click on it and install like normal

Once installed, open the APK

Grant SU access

Use the "Install Recovery" button

All set, now you can reboot and re-activate whatever rom-slot you were using
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnyaces187:
Question I've been reading the ss threads and reading on xnote 7. I noticed that at first we had to run a script for aroma etc and several other steps. Now with the new xnote 7 we just flash like we normally would with TWRP? (Wipe,wipe,etc) and also I wasn't sure if rom slot 1 was working or is it still best bet to flash on stock rom. Just don't wanna be showing those iPhone people a bricked paperweight on Christmas and really wanna blow away with xnote 7. Sorry for being a noob.

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

What I'm asking is the new patches with xnote 7 have fixed the issue with Aroma?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOne:
Make sure you have Safestrap 3.70. Then it should be OK to flash in ROM slot 1 or 2 etc...I think some people flash in the stock ROM slot but, I didn't. I used slot one. So yeah, make a nandroid. X note 7 has no aroma, just wipe and flash. Should be fine. (If I'm missing anything, please correct me.)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roloracer:
I was wondering about the necessity of wiping in some instances in safestrap, If you create a rom slot and set it to active, the slot is empty until you flash to it, so why the need to wipe? Will the wipe wipe your data on the stock rom slot? Or is it a precaution for the rom slot that you're flashing into? I'm wondering because If you wipe and use a different rom slot, but for some reason you need to boot into stock slot, will it be like you're getting started without any data on the stock slot? .

I'm sorry for all the questions but I've always have had unlocked bootloader on my previous devices with the regular way of flashing. So safestrap is very new for me, I do like the multiple rom feature, I've waited a while and just got rooted and installed Safestrap and nandroid backed up, gonna install xnote7 and aosp theme tonight when I get home.

RoloRacer on Note 3 N900A
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
Do your regular steps when flashing. Follow the OP of the ROM your installing. With Safestrap, make sure you have a back up and go ahead and install on one of the open slots. Make sure it's active. Factory reset, Advanced wipe your system cache and dalvik and install your ROM. You can flash themes or fixes here and then reboot. Profit
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panday74:
stupid question, i mistakenly wrote on the stock slot. Does it mean it's gone and can't get it back?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
You should of backed up the stock slot. Did you? If so restore it. If not, Flash your favorite rom there and set it all up. Back up after that. I don't use any of the slots. I always install to Stock slot.

Hi!

I just have a Nexus 4 which has the Broadcom chipset inside, so please excuse if I am completly wrong here. On the Nexus 4 I can use HCE perfectly with cyanogenmod 11 (as the Broadcom drivers are all there in the source tree).

But I had the impression that the NXP drivers also are there:

Here the jni sources for NXP for the "com.android.nfc" package (which should end up as "Nfc.apk" on the device)

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Nfc/+/android-4.4.2_r1/nxp/jni/

And here the lowlevel libnfc for NXP (the broadcom one is named "libnfc-nci"):

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libnfc-nxp/+/android-4.4.2_r1/src/

Isn't that what you are looking for am I completly wrong here?

Kind regards,

john :)
[NFC Hacking] azreark1:
Tony, i'd totally be willing to help out if i knew what i was looking for :/ I really want this to get figured out and wish i knew more about programming. Let me know if there's anything a guy with 'basic' knowledge can help out with :)
[NFC Hacking] Entropy512:
Those have always been there and have been for years. The problem is that when HCE was added to AOSP - it was only added for Broadcom (NCI) chipsets. On the NXP side of things, only stubs were added.

Actually, libnfc-nxp appears to have at least SOME HCE capability (and has for quite some time) - but packages/apps/Nfc is completely missing HCE as anything but "do nothing" stubs.

There are closed-source implementations of NXP HCE on the Google Play Edition HTC One and Xperia Z Ultra, but no open source implementations for non-GPe devices.
[NFC Hacking] androcheck:
Thank you for clarification! :good:

I wasn't aware of this fact. It's a sad decision of Google not to to release the source for both chipsets then.

Just for my personal interest: how did this work for phones like Nexus S back in days of cyanogenmod 9?

I remember the guys behind NFCproxy and SimplyTapp recommending phones like the Nexus S because the SimplyTapp HCE patches for cyanogenmod 9 only work with NXP chipsets (so I regretted to have a broadcom chipset at this time).

So how did this happen that we now have full HCE support on broadcom but not on NXP? :confused: (I understand that the 2011 nxp patches were just a hack, and may be of no use for today's situation)

How the things change...

edit: [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION]: Ah ok, I just read your Google wallet related posts on Google+ (which I should have done before) now I understand the situation better..
[NFC Hacking] sakaryalı:
hi

thanks you
[NFC Hacking] Entropy512:
That's the thing that REALLY mystifies me - The Tapp guys claim they worked with Google on HCE.

However, there isn't a single commit in the history for Google HCE that comes from anyone at Tapp, the architecture of the solutions is VERY different, and last (but not least) - the Tapp guys exclusively supported NXP NFC chipsets (Up until the Nexus 4, almost nothing had a Broadcom/NCI chipset and the Tapp patches were written before that), and Google is completely missing NXP HCE support...

[NFC Hacking] abuttino:
What about just tearing the NFC stack out of a NXP chipset's ROM?

I really don't see why this isn't possible.
[NFC Hacking] Entropy512:
Because it's binaries, not source.
[NFC Hacking] Entropy512:
Weird. If I take the NFC APK from the Sony GPe and resign it with platform testkeys (so it'll work on a self-built AOSP firmware), along with the Sony GPe's libnfc and libpn544_fw - Wallet STILL does not respond to payment terminals on my Oppo N1.
