[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephandroid:
**EDIT** This thread is about the Chinese SM-N9006 ONLY.

I just picked up this phone last weekend, (imgur.com/Js8e4FI or see "deviceinfo.png" below), which seems to be similar to all the other Chinese N9006s out there, but after further examination, I'm not so sure.

I rooted it with Framaroot and checked it with a new version of Antutu, (I think I had one of the adjusted versions before), and CPU Identifier, and it showed a very different processor than the others I've seen online. (imgur.com/caapx2o or see "cpu identifier.png" below)

Evidently, the Quad-core 1.2Ghz MTK6589 is actually a dual-core MT6572 which I'm not sure even uses both cores.

I'm not that surprised about that, but I am surprised that the RAM seems to actually be close to 3GB! When I check the running apps tab it shows almost 3GB total RAM, (imgur.com/7B4jFRx or see "running apps.png" below), which is backed up by both Antutu, (imgur.com/0OMilGl or see "antutu.png" below), and CPU Identifier.

So, have they made a new N9006? One with a crappier processor but more RAM? It only got an Antutu score of 8115, but it seems to run relatively quickly. The main reason I'm curious is that I want to be able to try out other roms, but I'm not sure I can trust anything from this phone to figure out which roms are safe for it. I'm not sure that it's even correctly reporting the rom info you can see in the device info picture.

In case you can't see the device info, this phone seems to have: (This is all the info I've been able to scrounge up from this phone)

Star Note3 n9006

Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Cortex-ARM7

Adreno 330 GPU

MT6572 x2 1.3GHZ

Model Number: SM-N9006

Android Version: 4.3

Baseband Version: N9006ZCUBMI3

Kernal version: 3.4.0-1590669 se.infra@SEP-136#1 Thu Nov 7 10:38:17 CST 2013

Build Number: JSS15J.N9006ZCUBMI5

Custom build version: i7208.pip.02.02.a.a-v0.0.9b1107

Supposedly, I can be sure of the rom info from booting into factory mode, (power + vol. down), but I'm getting the same menu in Chinese that others have gotten.

Factory Mode menu (sorry about the quality): (imgur.com/ivDFE4s or see "screencrap.png" below)

Does anyone know what the options are in that menu, or how to change the menu to English, OR another way to get the rom info from the bootup screens? Thanks!

MediaTek Cpu ?? impossible i guess you got a Chinese knock off
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephandroid:
Yup, I know it's a knockoff, I identify it as a Chinese model in my first sentence. That's why I'm not surprised that the specs are faked. Even after rooting it, deleting the un-upgradeable version of Antutu they had locked on it (I'd heard about the "adjusted" versions), and installing a new version of Antutu, it is still faking the processor.

I'm not sure any info can be trusted from the current rom on this phone, which is one reason why I want to figure out which roms are safe for it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
There are not ANY ROMs other than the one it shipped with which are safe for it. If you tried to flash a real stock or custom Note 3 ROM onto it, it probably wouldn't flash at all, and if it did, it would brick the device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
First of all - in the world there ARE true Samsung N9006 Note 3 phones - which are completely different devices! So your phone is NOT a Samsung N9006, so it can't be referred to as a "new N9006". At most you can say it is a new fake N9006.

And regarding the RAM - the problem is that even on real N9005 you don't have close to 3GB RAM reported, you only get listed about 2499 MB or so, the rest is mapped to video/3D and similar stuff and does not get listed. The fact that 3000 MB are listed seems to suggest that in the kernel there is another hack so it reports much more than reality.

Also the screen captures suggest that the real screen is nowhere near 1920x1080 so that info also seems to be faked :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephandroid:
Sorry for the confusion, the only discussions I've seen on xda which refer to the N9006 are in reference to the Chinese version. I've changed the title accordingly.

I agree with you that the resolution is definitely faked, as well as the RAM. Are there any apps that can accurately judge the true amount of RAM? Antutu gives a RAM Operation score of 435, and a speed score of 712, but I'm not sure how that corresponds into real world amounts.

If there is success with any of the attempts being made, I want to know if my phone is the same as theirs. There are threads which reference another Chinese version where attempts are being made. (I'm not allowed to link URLs yet but you can cut and paste: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2460126 xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2495375)

With the increasing interest in the Chinese versions, even if there isn't one now, I'm sure there'll be one eventually. That's why I'm interested in finding out how to gain info about the rom I'm using. Even if I don't change roms, it would be nice to see the real specs of the phone, and be able to use some things like Xposed.

The point is that real Samsung firmware won't work on a clone. The real Samsung devices don't use the same chipset as the clones do.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat.:
You're phone is not a Chinese Version, the chinese versions are made by Samsung.

your phone is a copy product.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcracks:
There is a real chinese note 3 SM-9006 made by Samsung...what you have is just a crapy copy made in some backyard factory. STOP thinking you have anything else. Just be happy that it can even make a phone call.

A number of people including myself already told you - this is NOT a SM-N9006!

Searching for the CPU and resolution will get you to one of the appropriate threads (or you can start yourself one BUT NOT IN ANY NOTE 3 FORUM)

Here is for instance one about the fakes with MTK6589 and I believe 1280x720:

Slpc - sensor low power core. As found on Google+ - used by Motorola assist app. AFAIK this service talks with google to known driving activity

Fused location - google's locations API. I think something google now related.

I'm pretty sure all of the rootable ones are gone. Very rarely will you find one on the back of a rack in a box store. I'd say these online ones will all have newer firmware on them.

Hello to all,

I dont know if someone did create this post earlier cause i did not find it, correct me if i am wrong.

I am owner of nexus 5 and i have an issue with third party launchers like nova launcher.

I installed recently nova launcher and when i pressed home button it asked me as usually which launcher i prefer

to have as default. I have chosen nova as always..

But when i use google search for example and then i press home button again suddently the window is poping up

again on which launcher i prefer and i choose nova all the time...

This story is too annoying cause it cannot remember that i said always to be nova as default.

If someone has faced this problem your help will be apriciated...

Sorry for bad english if i made mistakes...

Thanks in advance!!! :)

did you double check in settings > home to see if nova was sticking as the default launcher there? do you have the free or paid version? just curious.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsalamun:
Hi guys, my phone (Galaxy S3 i9300 international) was repaired at service centre with z3x box after dirty downgrade from 4.3 t 4.1.2, i lost my IMEI, than when it was fixed, my phone was on 4.1.2, now i cant update my phone to 4.3 because i will get the emergency calls only again, after i tried repairing it and flashing with stock 4.3 rom via Odin but again emergency calls, then it was repaired again and put on 4.1.2 android, but i don't know why can't i upgrade it normaly without getting emergency calls, i tried also backing up .img of my efs partition when it was working, and restoring it on 4.3 but emergency calls was showed again, my imei was not broken, i just got emergency calls, tried flashing the patched MG4 modem but then my imei was null/null and i got it serviced againn. Yyes i have backed up my efs it is working now and i am on 4.1.2

Guys is there any chance for my phone to go on 4.3 after servicing with z3x box, i heard somewhere that i am now stuck on 4.1.2 forever, is that a sad truth?

Update: I can switch on whatever 4.1.2 ROM if it's MG3 or lower (EFS v1), after flashinng i get no network, i run ariza patch and it works, but ariza patch won't work on 4.3 or MG4 newer ROMs.

I also tried zuluman patched kernel and modem, and nope, no results, still no network.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsalamun:
Bump. Help please?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Your issue is the repair made your efs folder incompatible with all newer firmwares, a patched modern AND kernel may enable you to update -from what I've read the two are linked.

Failing that you could wipe the efs folder, flash a blank (someone posted a link the other day) then get a reputable repair to program the imei and serial numbers back on. A lot of repairs seem to fix by downgrading and Ariza, which is no use for efs v2.

There is a thread in general on restoring your imei, but hardware is required.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsalamun:
Thanks for the reply, i'll try to mix something up.

Oh, and one more question, does that all mean that i can never be on full stock anymore? I mean having 4.1.2 and normally upgrade to 4.3 with a normal efs update through installation?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
With the first option no, you cannot use unpatched firmwares and your efs remains v1.

The second option might work, but depends if a repair can write to v2 efs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointbobxda:
Patience appreciated. I have an L45C LG phone cdma with net10. I'm trying to root it because the phone company crippled the settings section of the 2.3.4 android operating system PREVENTING the user to change the time. (mine is set to 1980! not kidding - which makes running apps almost impossible). I do not want to activate the phone just to use it as a wifi device.

I found this thread here on how to root - but I'm confused on HOW to actually replace/install a non-LG version of android 2.3.4.

1) Where do I download a "clean" or uncrippled version of gingerbread 2.3.4 which would work with my phone? Thanks for help.

So you already have your i9100G rooted with custom recovery?

What recovery are you using to attempt the 4.4 rom ?

You should always provide a bit more information when asking for help.

Phone model/version? Custom recovery name/version? etc.

Also what precise 4.4 rom + link are you trying to install?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
does it just say error? or like Error 7, give us the entire log when you try to flash it.

Edit: now that I think of it, are you on the latest CWM? also what version of android are you coming from? if its gingerbread I don't think CWM will let you flash it because it knows it will brick your phone since your on gingerbread boot loaders. might have to flash a jelly bean rom first.

For push mail you need:

3. A client software on your mobile: 3rd party software or Qtek new test ROM
