did you guys change permissions? i just tried it right now, and it works fine. i guess i have to prebuild it into the next update
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
Just going to download the rom again and extract it. I see the stock theme is up. Do I need Odin to boot into safe strap?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drakeymcmb:
just whats in the folder. dont use safestrap to add bloat. just copy and paste
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
Yes rw-r-r just like you said

Edit: I lied. I had to change the permissions again and did a reboot and it works. The log cleared but at least the sms is not there

Want taking any chances were you bro lol

Knoxraided KitKat 4.4.2 on BEASTMODE.......
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
For the stock theme...just copy and paste or use safe strap? If I copy and paste do I need to change any permissions?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] amir0cool:
Quick question

We will have another update tonight? :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drakeymcmb:
safestrap

no. maybe tommorow
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Skolar72:
I got it to work. Thanks for fixing that.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] amir0cool:
The stock themes will work with new update?

Sorry to bother :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
Sweet got the stock theme. And after I flashed it l, I noticed the instructions were the same for installing the rom and all. But thanks though!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
A little disappointed with the many different instructions. I fear I may be bricked now :( It is pretty tough to search through 285 pages of posts to see what is the correct and also the latest versions of files.

Before you flame me, I've been rooting and flashing ROMs for years on multiple devices. Not a newb. I followed directions exactly. But then I found a later set of directions, Still not sure if I have the latest files and/or directions.

I'm stuck at the bootloader screen. Now what? It appears the only thing is try different ODIN loads unless there are other suggestions.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] eortizr:
So I installed the JB ROM but I dont have the iOS7 icons in the status bar nor the option for KitKat icons... what am I missing?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Skolar72:
Drake I thank you for fixing the SMS logs showing up on the Call logs, but I noticed that the MMS logs still show up. Can you please fix that too. I would greatly appreciate it.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
I am assuming you are trying to flash KK version right? So you got the rom flash successful? Before that did you install custom safestrap that is in the zip you downloaded and installed?

When you boot up did you see safestrap load at all? If not that's the problem.

If you do see the safestrap load again, then you just missing the step where you suppose to change the BL file from safestrap to boot file. Go back to ODIN load the proper files, flash and reboot.

I mean really it's not that difficult and the instructions on the OP is very very clear to me. You just have to take real slow and go through step by step at a time.

If none of those that I said is what you did wrong, Pls tell us in detail what you did so we can help you where you went wrong and find a solution.

Worse comes worse, you can downgrade back to MJ5 to unbrick. And start all over. [MENTION=288741]Drake[/MENTION] did anybody make a tutorial video on how to install the KK? may be I should do one to clear everything up for all the people that are having hard time flashing. Let me know. I should be able to do one next week if necessary or helpful to others.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
Yes KK, starting from stock 4.3.

"Custom Safestrap"?!! No I installed the latest version of Safestrap from their site. Made backups and wiped per instructions. Created a ROM1 slot then installed v3 from the internal SD, not the external SD as I have seen in some instructions. I backed out to the main safestrap screen and rebooted from there. I did not remove the battery as I found in later versions of the directions. There is no safestrap in the any of the .zips I downloaded.

Currently no safestrap recovery screen appears only the bootloader screen. I do have stock MJ5 files I downloaded and have tried loading those in ODIN. Same thing.

Is there a special MJ5 set of files?

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drakeymcmb:
That would be a good idea.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] badler6545:
I'm by far less experienced than some of these guys, but I'd like to add my two cents and see if it helps. I recall the instructions specifically saying to not install to any other slot in Safestrap aside from Stock. Could that possibly be your issue?

Hope this helps :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Ah I see. My instruction was for upgrading from older KK build to newer one.

Tell us which steps did you take. Did you download the instruction on the OP that is in PDF or Word format where you can see step by step with pics?

And this

I will make one next week. Since I am already on KK I will make a video for KK upgrade to KK then. Too lazy to go back to JB to make a video of that. haha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
Maybe,

But neither one of the directions I have say anything about which slot to use :confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] badler6545:
Hah that's weird I could have sworn there was something that said so yesterday. Doing so worked perfectly fine for me when I installed, maybe you can give it a go if you have time and report back?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
I followed the steps in the OP, since changed to a link to a PDF/DOCX file.

Installed Safestrap

Copied V3 to internal SD

Made backup with safestrap

wiped data using safestrap

created rom1 slot

installed v3 with safestrap

backed out to main safestrap page

rebooted into download mode

using ODIN from downloaded zip file loaded .pit, .BL, .AP, .CP files

After fail I downloaded files again from a different server. Tried ODIN again.

Downloaded stock MJ5 files and tried ODIN again.

In all cases ODIN looked like the example. Re-part etc.

Hope this explains the steps, OK

Does your ROM support encryption? Thank you in advance!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
You cannot install KK version to any slot other than "stock" slot. Where you went wrong is creating another slot and trying to install there.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
It is under Download that mentioned.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
I can't get to a point to try it. I am stuck at the boot load screen. Not the recovery screen. Just like safestrap wasn't there.

BTW ODIN Mode reports the KNOX is not tripped Custom System status.

QualComm Secure boot is enabled

Write Protection enabled.

I'm not sure if the last two are normal or not??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
So...essentially what you have now is a KitKat boot loader trying to boot to the original ROM that you left in the stock slot (Jellybean).

You need to Odin the MJ5 bootloader back to your device and then you should be able to jump back in to safestrap and follow the directions in the OP and install the KK ROM to the stock slot. Then continue with the rest of the directions for using Odin to flash the BL, AP, etc.

This thread might be helpful in restoring to 4.3 so you can try again: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Your last option is to go back to MJ5.

But before you do that, try followed the instruction on upgrading from previous KitKat and flashed/odin to the KnoxRaid v3 from Kit Kat.

Of cuz you won't have safestrap but doesn't matter. What you need is flash the MJ5 base to load the rom. Download the V3 upgrading from KK, then use the folder "togetbooting" Remember to follow and choose correct file in ODIN, then flash it. See if that will boot. I am sure it should. One person has success with it and got his phone running with KK.

If not, then well back to MJ5 unbrick.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
I've tried that, but I'll try downloading a different set of MJ5 files and try again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Did you try what I've suggested? Or you already tried flashing back to MJ5? If you did try the MJ5 already, please ignore what I've suggested since most likely it won't work anymore.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hipporun:
Anyone noticing irregularly high ram usage?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
Thanks,

I was using those files before in ODIN. I'll download again and try again.

The file on the mirror in step 2 is a bad link. Not sure about that one.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
mine is right around 2gb and I don't see any problems at all. Still have great battery life without any slow down. I wouldn't worry about it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] badler6545:
Nothing higher than what what was being used on XNote 7 and Stock for me. Generally, without any open applications, that's around 1.7 gigs used. Touchwiz certainly isn't light.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
The only set of files you need to download are in Drake's OP links...So I'm not sure what other set of files you're referring to. As mutantblack suggested, you can follow the first few steps in "upgrading from previous version of KK" which essentially Odins an MJ5 boot loader and kernel with safestrap pre-installed which allows you to boot into safestrap to follow the remaining instructions to install the KK ROM to the *STOCK SLOT*.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
I'll try this first.

Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] eortizr:
when you say Stock it is 4.3 or 4.4?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
I just read through Drake's instructions again so that I can more accurately quote the directions that you're looking at. Specifically, you'll want to Odin the files that are in the "Togetsafestrap" folder. Assuming the original ROM is still intact in the stock slot, this should get you to a SafeStrap recovery screen that you can select to go in to. If you can get in to SafeStrap then you can continue on with the directions in "Installation Instructions FOR PEOPLE UPGRADING FROM 4.3 JB ROM" at *STEP 4*.

If SafeStrap Recovery screen does not show up, then you will probably be best off following the thread by evilpotatoman that was linked a few posts back to essentially get back to a "clean" slate. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
The 2 ODIN files from the Togetasafestrap folder did not help.

Before I can try this method of going back to MJ5 I need to find one of the files needed on the external SD as the link

https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA from step 2 is a bad link. Suggestions?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
If I'm not mistaken, the bad Mega link is just a mirror of the first link for the MI9_fix.img.ext4 file. So skip it if you can download the file from androidfilehost in the first link.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
YAY! I have a working MJ5 phone.

Thanks everyone. Time for some Zzzz. I'll try KK on stock slot tomorrow.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mutantblack:
Cool. Glad you sorted out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Phredeee:
I spoke too soon. After rebooting after installing SafeStrap I am again frozen at the bootload. This time I can not get ODIN to download. ARGH!

I've rebooted the PC and the phone several times. I can get to recovery mode on the phone this time and have tried a factory reset. No difference.

There is something else happening :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mickeywdw1254:
Can anyone confirm that bluetooth tethering is working? I Know there was mention that it wasn't working, in particular with connecting to the galaxy gear. Only thing keeping me from running this rom.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
Glad you're back up and running again.

Now...regarding your earlier comments about being disappointed with the latest directions and files, Drake is one of the most responsive and organized developers I've seen. He constantly updates the OP and that should be the definitive resource for the latest files and procedures. The directions really are not that complicated if you step back and take the time to understand (at least in a basic sense) what you're accomplishing with each step. The days of quick simple flashing of ROMs in one easy step are pretty much gone with all the locked bootloaders, e-fuses, securely signed kernels, etc, etc. The methods that these developers have achieved to work around these security efforts and limitations have been tested by many number of users and the methods are repeatable with very high success...when the directions are followed to the letter. Its not my goal to flame you, but literally the very first line in the download section specifically says INSTALL TO STOCK SLOT .

I truly admire Drake's (and any of the other dedicated Devs here) patience. They've taken a ridiculous amount of their spare free time to make the process as easy as humanly possible while laying out in painstaking detail how to flash these ROMs. Yet despite, the many warnings to follow each direction slowly, it never fails that people hastily flash away on a $600.00+ device like it's a $10.00 disposable flash drive.

The other disturbing pattern that bothers me is that the same people that rush through the directions, start flashing files without the slightest understanding of what they're doing, then go and criticize the "poorly written instructions" and essentially demand for someone to help bail them out...oh, and the best part, never consider sending the Dev a donation. If the community helps you out of a bind due to your own oversight and carelessness...then on behalf of the community that helped you out of the bind YOU created, send the Dev a donation as a token of your appreciation!!

Again, I'm not directing this rant solely at you and I'm glad the community steps up and helps people out repeatedly that don't follow the OP's directions and get themselves in to a mess. However, I propose that Drake no longer responds to any further posts of these kind as they are only a waste of his valuable time and talent which could be much better spent coding and continually improving his ROMs. I've noticed he's skipped over recent postings like the ones I'm talking about and I applaud him for that.

/end rant

Probably need to get my Xanax script re-filled. :good:

I'd go back through evilpotatoman's directions paying particular attention to the instructions on getting the phone recognized by Heimdall. If that fails, try a different USB port and start over with all the steps. That procedure should really have no issue getting you back to a working stable phone...assuming all your downloads are good.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Walter.White:
Is there anyway you can add a white line below Menu name. For instance look at power menu in this picture as you can see there is a white line below "Device Options" on our Kn0xRaid's power menu it simply says "Knoxraid" and no separation line below it.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
I really think there should be a separate thread for installation problems. Not trying to down play anyone...but obviously the instructions are clear enough for others to understand. That seems to be the main problem there. I understand some people are visual learners but it has pictures so I see no need for a video. The best thing to do is just take your time. If you want I can re write instructions. But I am telling you they were be very similar to OP. Again, not trying to insult anyone. Just don't want to clutter this thread with installation issues.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] redrover69:
Great idea! This is a 300 page thread. Theres a lot of good stuff here but it is hard and cumbersome to sift through it all to try to get yourself going.

There are a lot of experts here and noobs.

Its hard to learn when there is so much stuff here. Youre right take your time read and ask questions.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drakeymcmb:
Yes

The instructions are VERY simple. The only problem is that people rush and don't read every line. Not my fault. I take my time to make everything perfect. And reading skills is something I can not change in a person.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drakeymcmb:
Sorry buddy. I think that makes it look ugly

No. No att based ROM in our thread has Bluetooth tethering.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
Exactly. And it really isn't your fault. Especially when you explain to do it at your own risk. It must work if there are people who get it. It's a matter of flashing two files in Odin, flashing the rom in recovery and flashing another two files. You can download the zip on the phone and extract it with an app. Then use a computer and go from there. I just don't see where it is hard.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drakeymcmb:
Would you guys be interested in an aosp themed version to? As a separate add on. Like the x-note theme. And I will redo the instructions when I get home. But I don't know how much clearer they can get lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] x61tab:
No need really. The existing instructions are very thorough. Devote the time on other things. If anyone can't follow these simple instructions, I suggest they maintain their stock ROM. Simple as that.

Locked Screen Widgets

Options for locked screen widgets are very minimal. Is there a way to include other locked screen widgets besides the few ones we have available?

Also, how do we change the Air Gesture screen wallpaper? Is that possible? It is hard at times to see notifications with the existing wallpaper.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] badler6545:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] blwjr:

Had a strange issue last night on kkv3. I was casting Netflix to my chrome cast and my screen turned off after normal idle but I couldn't turn it back on. It just stayed black. I could feel vibrations after pressing the menu button or soft keys button had no clue what I was pressing as the screen would not come on. I eventually just had to pull the battery..

Anyone else experience the same?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Greenarcher707:
When you flash the stock theme does it remove the modded dialog boxes too (like knoxraid will miss you, etc)?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
There had been times where this happening to me but I didn't report it because I didn't think it was a bug. It will virbate or continue to make sounds and even the soft keys will light up. But the screen stays black. So maybe it could be a bug? It happens to me when i play certain and it is always random so it's hard to duplicate it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] drakeymcmb:
Its a Netflix issue. They have not yet released an update for samsung KitKat.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the2rrell:
Why do steps 7 and 8 twice? in the original instructions it says nothing about using odin prior to flashing the rom coming from JB. Just wipe flash and odin the 4 tar files.

Unless you are upgrading your kitkat from v2 to v3 then i digress as i have not even looked at that yet.

Edit, and it looks like thats what it was for....Sooooo my bad for jumping the gun. i do think Drakeys were pretty str8 forward though.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Herc08:
Twice? At top I assume it is people coming from 4.4 orbthe MJ5 restore. If you read the instructions, one is to get to safe strap working and the other is to get it to boot correctly. Again I am not familiar with the jelly version of KnoxRaid as I installed 4.4 first.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] the2rrell:
nope it was my bad, i assumed it was for the JB to Kitkat, when what you were posting is updating from one kitkat to a newer version.

I am also having the wake issue. Mine has happened twice today. Phone is asleep and when i go to wake it up, I get the vibration, sounds and lights but the screen remains black. I have to force reboot it to get the screen to come back on.
