[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tianze:
Hey all!

So I finally rid myself of my Apple devices since their support bricked my iPad and refuses to fix it! I got myself a sweet Galaxy Note 3 and love it so far! My issue is that I'm currently living in China for work and my phone is the Chinese Version: SM-N9006 running Android 4.3 with build: J2215J.N9006ZCUDMK2. The AP/CP is N9006ZCUDMK2. I managed to get into the English Samsung app store via VPN and removing the sim card, however, I still cannot get any Google apps since I don't have Google Play installed.

The phone was purchased about a week ago and should be the most recent phone and software version.

Yes, I'm prolly by far the biggest noob in this forum and I'm pooping my pants to brick it somehow XD but well, there's a beginning for everything... I've been on Apple for very long and a bit overwhelmed with the Android platform. So far I've read a couple of sites, forums, discussions, etc. on the benefits of rooting the phone. I found a pretty good explanation on this site by michael1982t:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2495375&page=4

So I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate if someone would take the time and get back at me.

The instructions were writting in October 2013. How relevant are they? Are there any new versions or methods on how to root the Note 3?

Would you guys suggest that this is the way to do it?

In many forums I read about rooting the China Version Note 3 SM-N9006... however, it states that it is the N9006ZCUDMI2 or MI3 version... I have the -MK2 version. Is that a big deal? Will that cause me some kind of software conflict? I have no idea what this number stands for :(

I'm a bit worried about KNOX and not being able to get into the phone again. I have the activation service turned off and don't really care about the 1 year China-only warranty.

Once the phone is rooted, I then can install the US Platform on it that has all English Apps, Google Store, etc? So from what I understand I would format the phone and play the US platform on it? Or would I just tweak the apps, remove the unwanted Samsung bloatware and Chinese Apps? Would I need the official Android platform or are there any "better" platforms to use? I read something about flashed/roms or gingerbread OS that give much more flexibility and control as to using the phone and getting the most out of it.

I'm running Windows 7. Is Windows XP essential since it is described in the post? I wouldn't think so but I better ask.

From what I read, the only software I need to download to my pc are:

ODIN, CWM recovery and CF-AutoRoot - is that all? Or would someone recommend anything else.

Do I need Samsung Kies at all?

I hope perhaps someone has had the same phone and questions and got an answer or somehow figured it out. I greatly appreciate any help!

Cheers!!

Has anyone rooted the sgh-i527m from Rogers and run into trouble by not being able to boot into download mode?

This is my second Galaxy Mega i've tried to boot into download mode via holding the volume down + home + power key. Really would like to have access to TWRP or CWR to back up systems.

A friend on this form has said that Telus models have no issues booting into downloads but would be interest to know if a Rogers owner is running into the same issues. Is it possible that Rogers lock there sgh-i527m like AT&T sgh-i527
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] enegizer07:
i have the same phone. it does go into download mode but the screen is blank. i just make sure odin is running when i do it. it will have com 2 or what ever come green and connect

I have to same phone and haven't a problem.....rooted and running custom ROM.

The i527m version does not have a locked bootloader and rooting, installing recovery, and installing custom roms all will work as mentioned in the posts above. :)

Yes. You can see it also. But did you know i527m does not have rooting system. it may be show you blank for this reason..
[Moto X Q&A] EwanG:
Am nearing the end of the 30 day period on my Republic Wireless trial, and while I am very impressed with the Moto X (and plan to keep it), I am less satisfied with RW. Mainly due to their cell handoff feature also killing my data more often than not. Basically they have their app/ROM setup to very aggressively switch to 4G if there is even a hint that the wifi is slow or less than ideal, and that switch over kills the data connection unless you have their much more expensive monthly plan ($45/month vs $10/month).

I am considering cancelling the RW service, rooting the phone, upgrading to 4.4 (I can do that, right?) and then just using Hangouts to make/receive phone calls and SMS/MMS messages. Anyone else who uses Hangouts as their main comm program who could share their thoughts on call quality and whether they have any issues sending/receiving messages?

Thanks in advance!
[Moto X Q&A] CMNDR:
As far as I am aware, the Hangouts SMS/MMS integration is purely on the phone level. You will still need an SMS/MMS plan through a carrier if you want send texts through Hangouts.
[Moto X Q&A] Kittiesoncrack:
Yes. [MENTION=4252629]CMNDR[/MENTION] is correct. you connect use sms in hangouts without a carrier plan and also, hangouts doesnt have calling built in yet

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Yes. [MENTION=4252629]CMNDR[/MENTION] is correct. you connect use sms in hangouts without a carrier plan and also, hangouts doesnt have calling built in yet
[Moto X Q&A] x2h:
If are using hangout on iPhone, then you can make VoIP calls. Duh.
[Moto X Q&A] EwanG:
With the latest updates to Hangout, SMS works on a phone even if you only have WiFi. I have an older Galaxy Exhibit 4G that I held onto for experiments (no service), and it worked just fine sending both directions. So will be looking to root my X and move.
[Moto X Q&A] UncleMike:
I'm pretty sure that the ability to send SMS while only on Wifi is a feature specific to Republic Wireless, and is a necessity because their service relies on Wifi as a fall back (or possibly primary) network. To confirm this, I just tried send an SMS (using Hangouts 2.0.303) with the phone radio disabled and it failed. And even if it were possible regardless of carrier, without carrier service you won't have a phone number, so how would calls/SMS work at all?

I'm only semi-familiar with how Republic Wireless works, but if you're ditching their service, I think you would be wise to ditch the phone too, and replace it with a traditional model that's not specific to Republic's hybrid network.
[Moto X Q&A] EwanG:
Since I obviously wasn't clear before, let me try again. I installed the latest version of Hangouts on my old TMobile (no longer has service) Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G. I then sent an SMS to another number, received it, and was able to respond. Hangouts also supports Voice (and video) calls over WiFi.

So you get everything RW offers direct from Google, but without the monthly fee.

As for the RW Moto X it is a Sprint phone for all intents and purposes, and is only limited in terms of the hybrid ROM it runs. Have successfully just finished doing the RootMyMoto and installing the SafeStrap app so I can boot into custom ROMs. Now just have to find one that works on the RW Moto X. I believe someone mentioned you could use one of TMobile's 4.4 ROMs, but I will need to track down which one.

FWIW...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Cuchillo:
Hello,

I seem to be having a problem with the built in email client on my XDA Exec. Every so often the built in Outlook Mail Client seems to "loose" my POP 3 account. However when I try to add it back in it tells me that:

"That name is already assigned to another account. Enter a unique name and try again"

Now I could keep adding it back in with a different name each time but that is a pants solution. Any thoughts as to how I can permanently fix this issue?

I have trawled through the registry but cannot find within it the name I used when I created the POP3 account.

[I have also noticed that it seems to loose the registration information for SunnySoft Back up as well!]

Many thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Daimos:
Change name POP3 in account configuration step 1 or 2 to another like mail1, mail 2. You have to use different names for settings :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Cuchillo:
Hello,

if only it was that simple. The original entry is no longer visible! So I cannot change it. And I cannot see it in the registry to delete it either. Any idea where does Pocket Outlook store its config information?

Do it yourself with a memory editor. I use GameCIH. Has a buggy overlay but gets the job done.

I've never played the game you're trying to hack in, but rule of thumb this if you have to use real money to buy coins, that sort of thing is probably server sided and you can't edit the values. Which means the hack is BS.

[Security Discussion] xmann1:
Hi,

Im looking for a secure/hardened rom or kernel for the galaxy s4, specifically the i337m. I scoured google and found tons of roms/kernels that were hardened or had security enhancements for the nexus devices but nothing for the s4. Im a complete noob when it comes to compiling a rom, or all that advanced material. I tried Guardian Rom for my device but after flashing with cwm i booted and the blue circle with cyanogenmod in the center spun untill my battery died. It did have to edit the update script because i was getting the "assert failed getprop( ro.product.device )" error so i assumed the rom was not compatible for my version of the s4.

I know there is Anidroid kernel for nexus devices, Guardian Rom with the alpha builds for the Nexus devices, and a few others. In paticular Im looking for a rom/kernel hardened with grsecurity patches, but anything would be fine. My main goal that i kinda given up on is to get Guardian Rom beta build to work for the i337m if anybody has any insctuction on how to get it working then it would be greatly appreciated. I will probably have to settle with a hardened kernel or rom, if there even is any for the i337m.

Thanks

I did read the "similar threads" and read them.

I am wondering If I wanted to replace TWRP with CWM what is the exact process. Also is there a way to have a dual recovery so you can choose which one you want to use?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
You can over write TWRP with CWM by flashing CWM with ROM Manager. Or Terminal Emulator. You can not use 2 at the same time because recovery resides in a specific memory slot that can only contain 1. There is nothing stopping you from quickly flashing back to whichever recovery you want though. These instructions will show you a way to switch back and forth at will. It works for both TWRP and CWM. You just need the appropriate recovery.img. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2170635
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electrojas:
Thank you

This is exactly the information that I have been wondering. Thanks for the quick reply and link. Peace.:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
Keep in mind that backups are specific to the recovery that they are done with. If you backup with CWM you must restore with it also. If your latest is with CWM and then you funk your phone up, TWRP will not help you restore unless you can find a flashable CWM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PauloScalon:
Another option?

I keep flashing CWM with ROM Manager but TWRP still shows up on my Recovery, and i'm not confident enough to use the Terminal Emulator option. Is there another way to go?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Flash CWM from TWRP. Just make sure you find a version of CWM that is flashable.

Here is a link to the tar version of Philz that I use: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
The terminal method is quite simple and a guarantee to work. You only have to type exactly what you see in the instruction. I understand you may be nervous about using codes to change the inner workings of the ROzm but believe me as long as you type it correctly its not possible for something to go wrong.

[AT&T LG G2] KiraXDA:
This is related to two of my AT&T LG G2 D800 and several problems with their call quality.

1. Sometimes when calling someone, I do not hear a dial tone and this goes on indefinitely until I hang up.

2. As in situation 1, when there is no dial tone, the call goes through as indicated by the start of the timer of the call, but there is no sound whatsoever.

3. Sometimes there is a dial tone and the other person picks up the call, but no sound can be heard on the phone.

4. There is a dial tone, but when the other caller picks up, I hear a very garbled, static sound.

Anyone know why this is the case with the call quality on the phone? Anyway to fix these issues?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eliasjg:
Ok, so after waiting a couple of weeks for an update from Bell since Sony released the firmware, I've decided to take the updating process into my own hands. Coming from a Nexus 4, waiting for updates is something that kind of frustrates me, so here is my questions:

I understand that the model bell has is the c6806. Now, will I run into problems trying to flash the stock Sony firmware from Bell's bloatwared up edition? Also, do I need a custom recovery, or can I keep stock? I really don't want to unlock my bootloader because it's taken me ages to download all the software and files I wanted... unless I do a backup, I suppose.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IchiGoQc:
Update

I also have a Z ultra from Bell and I updated manually following these instructions without issue. Just download the FTF from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2453921. Pick model C6806 GENERIC US.

Then follow these instructions to flash using "Flashtools" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428319

You don't need to download the XZU device folder because it's already incliuded in the new installation.

You don't need to unlock bootloader since it's from Sony but you won't be able to root your device and you will lost all your data. Except if you uncheck "Wipe Data" in Flashtools software, be it may decrease stability.

Hope this help.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

OMG WAIT DON'T UPGRADE YET. I need your FTF files, because I want to downgrade to 4.2.2, I need root for everything, like my PS3 Controller for touch emulation, to get rid of the navigation bar etc etc.

So please can you extract your FTF files from your Bell Device and send it to me !!!! PLEASE !!!!!

Forget about what I said, I fixed it and BTW I just received the .290 via OTA, so you should have it now !!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
LOL :p

Did you tried to keep root with supersu survival mode? And if so, did it work?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eliasjg:
After hearing fo all the problems the .290 update brings (seemingly,) I think I will wait for kitkat. 4.3 jellybean isn't enough of an upgrade to justify the issues it will bring, or to lose root. KitKat definitely will be, though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IchiGoQc:
OTA failed lol

Meh, I tried but OTA failed installing each time. It fails at the begin of the install, phone reboots and tells me that it could not install the update. Probably because I have Dual Recovery and I debloated the rom ...... Oh well ... loll I'll probably try a factory reset and try the OTA again. I mean I have a nand backup anyway

I'll keep you posted

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Ok I tried a factory reset and it didn't work either, the progress bar reach near middle than it reboots. I bought the app for OTA survival but can't test it cauz I can't OTA ..... still trying to figure it out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Does your revision number and product id still matches with your CDMA? With the OTA before mine update failed, but when i matched the product id and revision number OTA suceeded.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IchiGoQc:
Probably not I flashed a US Retail .532, i'm not on stock rom from Bell anymore. I will give it a try

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Do you have any idea how to know the revision and CDMA code the update is looking for !?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
.532?

That OTA is for .257 then. That is 4.2 Not 4.3.

You could find it in BASKOU his CDMA thread. But really doesn't matter which CDMA you use. As long it is matching. The excellent guide from Lord can also help you further. You should defenitly have a look overthere.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IchiGoQc:
Hum I'm positive that it's 4.3 take a look. I'm gonna take a look at his thread thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] herogjan:
Yeah, that's 4.3 Surpises me that you can update straight from 4.1 to 4.3. But thinking it over, it makes sense.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eliasjg:
Oddly enough, I have yet to get the ota for 4.3. Been checking multiple times a day. Hopefully I don't run into issues, since I did root/ Detroit.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IchiGoQc:
I received the ota because my cda product Id was changed when I flashed the Us retail. 532 so that's why you didn't receive it the build.prop you send me wasn't the same as what I had.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eliasjg:
OTA is live, I however failed to update mine. Guessing it has to do with me debloating :/ Anyone know of a workaround?
