My apologies for hitting the thread again, but I am in a state I can't recall since my HD2 days. Every attempt to use Odin on the files I downloaded on this thread just gets me back to a galaxy Note 3 logo and no further. (using odin to install ap & bl files).

I am googling how to use Odin to hopefully get back to a stock..or any working install that doesn't use Safestrap since I currently have no way to get ss to load.

Any help is appreciated as I am rapidly approaching panic mode. (perhaps via pm so as not to clutter thread)

Was. Status unknown now. I had de la Vega on it, android 4.3. Installed ss, rebooted, wiped system - then messed up and rebooted before installing the rom. No idea what one calls is now, since nothing will let me get past the splash screen. Can't get into ss, but can get into download mode, so I assume hope isn't lost if I knew what to do next.

DAMNIT! LOL Now mine won't install driver (It wasn't working when I opened it) so I reinstalled. I wonder if something breaks it here with 4.0??

do you know of a way to amplify the handset speaker? build.pro edit or anything? That's all I REALLY used from Viper but dang, didn't realize mine no longer working. :(

Make sure you're getting the right files in Odin. My computer would pull theb"togetbooting" files when I was trying to get "togetsafestrap". Don when you click Odin l, look at the tab and see where the files are being pulled from.

Your best bet is to go back and follow the steps very closely in the restoring to MJ5 thread you referenced earlier. If I recall correctly, the missing file you mentioned is a mirror link (and therefore unnecessary) to files that are available in the previous link in that thread. So...you should have all the files you need.

Go back and follow those steps exactly and you should be good to go.

I'm using the method in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715

Note, in their step 2, the 2nd file down is a deal link, but it's just a mirror for the first link. (as datanetresource mentioned above) Sadly, I cancelled the 2 gig file a while ago, so I've got it going now at a really bad rate (2 hours to go!).

I will follow the steps & post my results which hopefully will help others in the future.

When using Odin, you gotta be a little bit more careful.... since you might choose the wrong files.

I used to use Odin to flash this Rom with 4 different types of files starting with AP..BL.., so when I used Odin to get back to MJ5, those files were at default when I clicked to add the files. ( At first, I did not pay close attention to the name of the file, I just saw AP..BL..and I thought that was the right ones).... I took me a while to realize that I had the wrong files in the wrong folder too.

So be a little careful on that. :)

I assume creating a backup of the ROM in safestrap takes the same approach as any other ROM recovery. Bobcat ROM is appealing but I want to create a backup of the KnoxRaid ROM first... better be safe than sorry.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] polstein:
Back up.. sort of

The Jb5 recovery got me back up, running, and rooted in 4.3. So I figured, try again. I managed to not miss the step, but oddly having similar difficulty on the last step (odin). Odin doesn't see the device which is currently in download mode.

For fun, I rebooted & tried to get into ss recovery, but it's not an option.. much like before.

I know Odin was happy a bit ago, since I used it for recovery.

I presume I must be missing something stupid at this point, which possibly also caused my previous problem.

Guess I'll re-do the JB5 thing, and sleep on it. Anyone have an idea what I could be missing? Is everyone here upgrading kk to new version, or anyone doing a jb install?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] x61tab:
You can try with USB 2.0 instead of the one that comes with the Note 3. And you may want to re-install the samsung/kies driver.

Also, if you are successful getting ordin to recognize your device, make sure the file you are flashing is coming from the RIGHT folder and IS the right file. Odin has the tendency of automatically selecting previously flashed files. So, double check that as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] polstein:
A nice thought .. for a moment I thought it worked since my pc hit a slowdown (thought it was detecting hardware). But no difference.

I'm also seeing some mention of a problem back in janurary.. reading some older thread stuff now to see if I'm in the minority of people that are just moving. or trying to move.. to kk today.

edit - my best guess is I'm doing something wrong in SS when flashing the rom. Going to try to read more about it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] x61tab:
Also try rebooting your computer.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] polstein:
That was step 1 of repair attempt :)

If someone can check me, in SS, after wiping, I clicked Install, browsed to the file I put in internal memory (knoxraidv4.zip), and at the top of the screen verified it said "stock slot" in red at the top. So I slide the slider to the right to start it. Did I do something wrong there?

Still kind of feels like I am overlooking something silly, but hoping someone can verify a direct from 4.3 install.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Jbluedodge:
When I had the Odin problem, I reinstalled the Samsung drivers and it fixed everything.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] x61tab:

Has anyone flashed the gray theme on jb 2.6? Does it work?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
What are "all the fixes" you've tried? Regardless, two things to make sure of...

1) Did you install to STOCK SLOT?

2) Log in to Google account, sync contacts, let fully sync. Open contacts a few times and force closes should stop. If not, go to accounts in settings and force another sync. Try opening contacts a few times again. This procedure has cleared the "Contacts force close" issue for everyone else.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] datanetresource:
You're jumping in too many directions here. It seems you're close but until you can get Odin to recognize the phone in download mode, the files you have are pretty irrelevant. Try switching to different USB ports on your PC while your phone is in download mode and Odin is open. Does Odin respond with "Added!!" and "Removed!!" messages when you do this? If so, then Odin is recognizing your phone fine. Next it's just a matter selecting the right 4 files for Odin as per the instructions in the first post for this ROM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] turnman34:
just curious, updated to knoxraid 4. says 4.0 is that correct or should it say different??? not 4.0.1 or something? was not sure since he updated the original version 4...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] polstein:
Well, I have good & bad news.

Good news is it's working, bad I'm not sure what happened.

I was about to go back to jb5 & bed, get my few minimal things going until tomorrow.... but this time jb5 odin didn't recognise & work either (panic!!!). I tried to re-install drivers using kies (no help). Then while I was in heimdell banding my head against the desk (it was failing to connect too) I got a popup on my pc that it got the phone connection ?!?

Back into Odin, and it recognised it, I was able to use it normally, and I'm in KK now.

So the bad is... if Odin worked for me to use JB5 recovery (first step) then I'm not sure what happened to my connection. I still think I was probably doomed the first time after accidently skipping the rom install (with no way to get back into ss).

Part of me says leave it alone, and part wants to do it over again to try to learn something for everyone.

...maybe this weekend, time permitting. If I had to go through this (and thanks to those that helped), I'd really like to learn what went wrong.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] faslane:
No you're fine.

[MENTION=600847]polstein[/MENTION]

I'd stay where you're at. It sounds like it just did the second Odin step finally. Are you up and running now? What does it say under settings/general/about? 4.0? Phone and everything work? If so I'd stay there, you're good to go. You won't get into Safestrap from the app itself ever until it's updated for Kit Kat. That's why we're all using odin "togetbooting" it's a preliminary way to either get into safestrap or into device after safestrap once the rom is flashed. So if you're trying to boot into safestrap from the safestrap .apk from a working 4.4 device or boot device after using safestrap you can't without Odin. Sounds like you're perfectly fine now.

What you said does confuse me a bit, I did get into Safestrap from my JB rom - that's how I got things going. Not sure if it's safe to reboot to recovery now to make a backup of what I have at the moment (another search window).

Is there a FAQ thread to match this rom so we don't clutter it so much ?

random fc's with launchers

This might be an isolated issue since I haven't seen anyone else post about it. But I've been having a few issues here and there with launchers crashing (multiple). It usually happens as I'm browsing chrome and then I hit the home button. When the launcher appears, all the widgets are pixelated and I know I'm about to get a crash.

Do you guys have any idea what this could be related to? I do run app settings to change dpi, but not for the launcher, or chrome. Another thing to note is that I do run every launcher I've tried on the maximum grid possible. Could that be related?

Btw this issue has happened in previous versions of the rom so it's not something newly introduced.
