[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
What I would do is a clean re-install via PCC/SUS to the latest firmware-that way the the root files are cleaned up, then root via the method faizalotai has linked to.

Also you may want to refrain from using VRoot. Apparently it was deemed risky on XDA recently, I can't find the post saying so but am sure I've read it somewhere.
[Sony Xperia L] getochkn:
rooting and bootloaders have nothing to do with each other.

you can root and not unlock the bootloaders

or

you can unlock your bootloaders and not root

Rooting gives you admin level access on the phone, to change system files and access stuff a normal android phone can't unless rights for applications can be elevated to root.

Unlocking the bootloaders allows custom kernels that are flashed to the phone to boot.

A WORD ABOUT HOW THE GALAXY NOTE 3 WAS BROUGHT INTO THE CYANOGENMOD DEVICE SUPPORT TREE

This was not a magical event where the device is now fully supported on AOSP. Many devs worked very hard for quite some time to get this device working as it stands today (most of it done by the CM dev team). Each dev has done more than just what I'm listing below, but these are the highlights.

@noobnl / Utkanos both worked on the device bring up, config settings, ramdisk and debugging

Cyanogen did most of the kernel work bringing in the needed commits to bring the device up to CAF KK compliance

Arcee helped with some RIL and kernel issues

Slayher helped with debugging and testing

I worked on audio issues and am doing in-progress work on the new NFC chip in VZW/TMO variants

And several others (whom I'm forgetting) helped in other ways

There are a few added fixes in the unified ones. Not necessarily anything critical though, except the led fix. For an exact list of what's been fixed since 0130, literally EVERYTHING listed on this entire page (all builds all the way to the bottom): http://www.cmxlog.com/11/hlte/

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dhufford81:
I think that's a little ridiculous, Knox or not android can be secure. What if you had a nexus device? The security is in selinux, I took knox as a tamper flag for warranties not so much a sign of physical security.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TechSavvy2:
Knox devices were approved on location because they could be verified by just checking knox status. Believe me I've tried going around this already, too much hassle.

All Note3's are now supported w/ the single build, so I don't think you'll see any support for the device specific branches anymore.

LED fix was merged and of course NFC stuffs is still work-in-progress. :)

Understood. FWIW, some of us have not been impressed by the "chatter" on the International/General Note 3 CM11 thread (AlecRobertson's). So we will probably continue to post questions and feedback here.

I know you are very busy, but if you could stop by once in a while to check comments, it would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for everything you did to get CM11 to us originally, and thanks for your continued support on the pieces of unified CM11 that you are currently working on.

GPS is not working for VZW users on latest unified builds.

-Device specific builds from January of CM11 worked for GPS.

-VZW variant hardware should be nearly identical to TMO.

-TMO users report that GPS is working on unified builds.

-Three VZW users have reported that unified nightlies do not get a GPS lock, do not even see any satellites.

Was there any device specific changes that you made for hltevzw GPS, back in January?

Any ideas on why we can not see any satellites?

Thanks, in advance
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dhufford81:
I'm in the same boat for the GPS lock.

Does anyone else experience random data drops? It will appear in the status bar to have 4 bars, but try doing anything wanting internet and it complains about no network. If I toggle airplane mode off and on it works again fine.

They are not frequent, nor are they consistent with anything specific.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cam30era:
I've not experienced this. But I'm on WiFi most of the time, so I could have the same anomaly and not be aware if it.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Thanks for posting this link. However, it did not "fix" GPS for me on 0302 nightly. Have you had any luck getting GPS to work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cam30era:
I just did a clean install of 0306 nightly. GPS is still a no go.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] DavidFlory:
Same experience here. GPS Status does not even see satellites. The other sensors seem to be working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] josquin:
Same experience on my Verizon dev edition with latest CM11 daily. No GPS support. GPS tracker cannot even see any satellites.

This did work on the device-specific hltevzw a month or so ago, but does not work on the hlte unified builds.

As a previous poster noted, this does, in fact, work on the T-Mobile Note 3 with the same build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hashcode:

So I have 2 N3s (one retail and one DE). Took the retail off the shelf to use as my daily driver while GPS got ironed out on either CM or PAC. Loaded latest nightly PAC this morning and to my delight, GPS was working, and working well! Set up my phone and apps, put in my VZW sim, and GPS is down again. Can't see any sats. Started uninstalling apps, etc... no joy. Stuck the sim back into my retail while I do further testing, and bam, GPS is back! Tried it a few times to confirm.

So loaded up latest CM nightly just now and same results. Sim in, no GPS. Sim out, lock within 10 seconds. BTW using GPS Status to confirm # of sats and lock.

So VZW sim looks like the culprit. Can anyone else test and confirm please?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cam30era:
Very interesting results, indeed.

I'm traveling now, running 0130 nightly, and need my GPS daily, so I don't want to experiment just yet. When I get back next week after the race at Sebring, I'll check it out. Good find!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dhufford81:
When you turn GPS on which mode are you using? Try device only if you haven't already, seems to me like high accuracy mode is the culprit, because it uses WiFi and cell towers for accuracy. I could be wrong, just an observation.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TSman74:
Just gave it a try, but same results unfortunately. The device can't even see sats when the sim is in. When I take it out it has no problem with either mode. Thanks for the suggestion though!

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

In an effort to narrow this down a bit more, wanted to ask a question if you would all be so kind. So when I got the N3 I just stuck my old sim in from my last phone. I know the sim cards that came with the phone are the newer (NFC enabled I believe) sims. [MENTION=4530182]LillieBennett[/MENTION] Since you are having better success with GPS, I was wondering if you are using the new sim provided with the phone or an older one? [MENTION=3209971]cam30era[/MENTION] Same question to you since you and I are having a similar experience with this. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] LillieBennett:
I am using the sim that came with the retail n3 I tried for 14 days, so it's the new NFC one.

Camcorder breakage is fixed in tonight's nightly. Looking at what changed in our GPS setup from 01/30 to the merged build.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hashcode:
On the GPS issue, here's where I'm at:

In Settings -> Location: everything is "ON", and I change "Mode" to "Device Only" (Which uses GPS to determine location).

Then install "GPS Test" from the Play Store.

It comes up and shows 0 satellites, and 0 In Use.

If you've managed to get a lock on satellites by loading a TW ROM and then swapping to CM, you can use "Clear AGPS" and you should see this behavior after a reboot.

So now I run a full new build with the following 2 changes:

I updated device/samsung/hlte/gps/etc/gps.conf by changing the following line:

CAPABILITIES=0x36

to

CAPABILITIES=0x17

(This value was what we had pre-merge.)

And I revert the following commit:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/99e65a61e2742a64b97d14081080ae34aaf8adf8

Flash in recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.

GPS is working for me. Having to revert the SIM change makes no sense at all, so I need to do some research, but perhaps others can jump in on these steps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cam30era:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TSman74:
Clean flash (even formated int sd). Other than gapps just GPS Status installed. Sad to report that I'm getting the same results. Can't see any satellites, 0/0 with SIM in. When I take it out I get a lock on, 8/23 within a few seconds.

Might just be a faulty SIM on my part? Although I have no problem with GPS on TW based ROMs with it. Perhaps others may have better results and I'll be heading to the VZW store.

Thank you though for your continued efforts on this (and everything else)!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] dhufford81:
What's the deal with the new modems in T-Mobile and international thread, can we flash? Or do we have to use vzw modem updates? I'm asking here because we all have dev editions.

Need to only flash VZW modems, if you want to stay on VZW network.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] TSman74:
Just an update. I got a new SIM this morning to test. Same results unfortunately. Can't see any satellites with it in. Take it out and gps works. Weird that Hashcode got his to work and my device won't. Anyone else have a chance to test out his CM test build?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cam30era:
I appreciate the feedback on the SIM card. Saves me from wasting my time. I'll try this build when I get home from this trip (Tuesday). I'll let you know what I find. And I appreciate your efforts to trouble shoot this. Thanks, a lot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] Hashcode:
The real key to getting GPS working has to do with a pop up consent allowing GPS to function for location purposes on the device. In most cases where I end up getting functional GPS.. its where this pop up is triggered correctly. From then on, GPS seems fine... even using the current ROM.

I'm still tracing down why that pop up doesn't always show correctly.

Its odd but when the SIM isn't in the device, the pop up "I agree" isn't needed for GPS function.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] cam30era:
Just confirmed your results, and hashcode's findings. Flashed a TW ROM, got a satellite fix, rebooted to recovery and flashed hashcode's CM11 test ROM. Same results as you. i.e. can not see any satellites.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] josquin:
What I'm seeing with current CM11 nightly build confirms what others have seen on my developer edition Note 3.

When I pull my SIM, I get GPS lock within a few seconds. (I don't even have to reboot the phone.)

As soon as a put my SIM back in, the GPS lock is lost and all the satellite strength goes to 0.

Let me know if there's anything I can test to help out in finding a fix.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Original Android Development] josquin:
Here's a workaround

This will fix your GPS (even with SIM in) on currently CM11 nightlies. I see all satellites now in the GPS Test app.

1) Open Root Explorer

2) Long press /etc/gps.conf, choose "Open in Text Editor"

3) Change the line LPP_PROFILE = 0 to LPP_PROFILE = 3

4) Reboot

Your GPS should now work properly. Enjoy!

However, I've been working w/ Arcee to solve our NFC dilemma. We are seeing some amount of progress but it's rather slow going.
