Just moved over from the S3, so be easy. Learning the ins and outs of the ever-confusing 4.3 update here as well. I just got a 4.1.2 rooted with old CWM (non-touch) Note 2, and every time I try to update to Philz, it claims this is a non-verizon device. It is. The guy before used a T-Mobile sim in, would that make a difference? It is also a stock Verizon rom, so I'm not sure why I am getting this error. Do I need to flash a verizon stock 4.1.2 rom to reset it?

Edit: should I install Philz via Odin, or simply odin back to stock 4.1.2, re-root, and unlock bootloader again?

Edit 2: if anyone can chime in on Philz or not, that would help. I can install any other recovery no problem, so I'm wondering if the file that is uploaded is taking me to the right one? I know AFH is doing server work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
What's the phone model? sch-i605 would Verizon. Also do not update to 4.3 official you will probably forever have locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Yep. That's the model. I actually had no issues flashing the latest cwm and twrp at all. Starting to wonder if AFH messed something up.

Yep, I'm aware of all the 4.3 stuff. S3 had the same thing. I made sure this was on 4.1.2 when I bought it and just flashed sophisticated tonight. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
ahh i was just wondering since ive never used Philz. is sophisticated working well then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
I just went to TWRP and think I'll stay. Used it on my S3 too. Sophisticated is running great. Fast, and battery life has been most excellent.

Right now I'm leaning towards the supcase, but something a little less stock looking would be nice.

I got an update from them and I'm on Clean ROM with an unlocked bootloader. It downloaded automatically and when it shut my phone off to install, my ClockWork MOD said it was unsigned so I didn't install it.

If I install that will it re-lock my bootloader, and bring me back to stock and override my kernal and Clean ROM? I would like to know this before installing this if it's needed. Thanks.

odd. On my Titanium Backup, I don't have any apps by that name. I looked multiple times in the app. Am I looking in the wrong area?

Use root explorer or ES file explorer navigate to this directory etc/fota and delete any file in this directory if any. Then navigate to /system/app and look for these otacerts.apk and fwupdate.apk. Rename them to otacerts.apk.bak and fwupdate.apk.bak.

Ok I'm officially at a loss. I have download ES File Explorer and I don't see ANY folder in etc called fota, and I do not have ANY app in the System app section called otacerts.apk or fwupdate.apk.

OK, let me do some investigation, what version of cleanrom you're using??

OK, for Cleanrom Seven try rename or delete these 2: SDM.apk and FWupgrade.apk. (located in /system/app)

Freeze with Titanium is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Squall429:
So now it WON'T push the update right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
You just disable the software download service so OTA can't download anymore. If the file already downloaded, it should be in the etc/fota location and you don't see any in there right? if you don't see any then you should be fine now.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] frankred:
Hi,

I am trying to update to 4.4 from 4.2 on my A700. I used the nightly and gapps files recommended in this thread	[NIGHTLY][ROM][4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 for Acer A700 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563610

I booted into CWM Recovery v6.0.4.4 and installed both files. After that, I did a factory reset. I told it to reboot and now all I get is a boot loop of the Acer splash screen showing Bootloader Verion JB-653b3d3 (unlock mode) in the upper left. Then it vibrates once and reboots again. Can someone help me out?

btw, I have previously tried updating to a newer version of 4.2 and I was getting the same thing. At that point, I was able to flash my old files. Now I don't have the old files to flash. Also, I can't find a way to load files via usb. In CWM, it doesn't seem to want to mount so my XP machine can see it.

I am not too well versed in custom roms. I have looked over other threads in this forum but so far I don't see what I need. If my question has already been addressed (I wouldn't be surprised), I need some direction on this. I am stuck...

Thanks very much!

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Hey John.

What it sounds like, is that you didn't do your "wipes" before flashing the CM ROM. This is pretty much mandatory, and sounds like what happened.

I would boot back into CWM. These are what you need to wipe/format "before" flashing CWM.

1. Data/factory reset (this wipes your data partition)

2. System (this wipes pretty much all current system files)

3. Cache

4. Dalvak Cache (might need to look for this in "advanced", it depends on the recovery.)

5. Flexrom if it's an option. If not, don't worry about it, as it seldom causes issues.

Then, flash your CM. Now, for myself, I usually flash CM first, boot the system, bypass all the setup screens, then let it stabilize. Then I go back into CWM and flash the Gapps. That's just me though. Some folks flash CM, then Gapps in that order at the same time.

Good luck

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] frankred:
Thanks very much for the reply MD!

I tried the steps you suggested but I am still stuck in the same place. Let me explain.

When I select wipe data/factory reset, it processes for a second and then reboots. Is this normal behavior?

When I select Wipe Dalvik Cache, I get:

E:Unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Dalvik cache wiped.​

I selected Show Log:

I have my rom and gapps in /storage/sdcard1/cminstall/

cm-11-2014-111-NIGHTLY-a700.zip - not renamed cmupdate.zip

gapps-kk-20131209.zip

I feel like I have a larger issue here...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] frankred:
Well, it has been a while but I am still stuck in the same boat. I have since had the flu and I was out of town for work for 3 days then 5 days.

My rom and gapps files are currently on my external SD card. Should they be on the internal storage?

I have been trying to connect via usb to my xp laptop but I am not having any luck. The best I can get is an A700 in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation point. I have tried installing the Acer usb drivers but they won't take.

The closest I get to Windows finding the tablet with my laptop is when I let it attempt to boot. Windows finds the device for about 5 seconds before it reboots again.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owentheandroid:
Hey,

This weekend I'd thought i would have a go at making a custom ROM for my phone (because there are none out there) and I needed to install a recovery. I had 3e recovery but it didn't have the choice of backing up my current ROM so I downloaded Carliv Touch Recovery because it is the only compatible recovery with mt65xx and mine is mt6577. I used the auto porting tool from here. Once it finished I pressed VOL UP + POWER and i got a WHITE SCREEN! Powering my phone on still worked but recovery didn't but a few minutes later when i turn it on again I got a WHITE SCREEN!

NOW I CAN'T DO ANYTHING

Please help me. :crying: I use my phone a lot!

By the way, it still had the ROM it came with. I didn't get to change it.

PLEASE REPLY

Guys please express your views on this topic
[Galaxy S II General] shiniyoyo:
Personally, I find touchwiz to give my phone a more "filled" look with the amount of widgets and flat colors and icons. Phones like the GS4 look really nice with the updated Touchwiz skin. When it comes to the GS3 and under, the UI doesn't feel as polished to me. Plus on phones like ours, although battery isn't the greatest, the smoothness and customizing options keep me with that AOSP look, especially with 4.4 ROMs available
[Galaxy S II General] bhavstech:
i also personally feel that touchwiz appers "filled" not even in s2 or s3 but also s4 ,i appears the handsets r working on touchwiz rather than android the android feel dissappers
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seh6183:
Is the note 3 too big for one handed use? Be honest. I used to have a note 2 and loved everything about it. I even liked the touchwiz features and I HATE touchwiz. I only decided to get rid of it because of the size. It became too annoying trying to use the thing with one hand. I got sick of having to creep up the side of the phone with my hand just to touch certain apps in the app drawer or touch the address to enter a new address. It was a balancing act sometimes and I would almost drop the phone. And laying in bed trying to use the thing with one hand was just about impossible, when I tried I usually almost dropped the phone on my face breaking my nose. So, having the bigger screen is great, but is it too big for one hand? Do all of you use it exclusively with both hands or do you struggle with one like me?

As for the durability. I had an s3 and shortly after buying it, like one week, the silver bezel around the phone started to chip off. It looked like crap. I was afraid it would happen with my note 2, but it never did. I read about it happening to others though but it just never happened to me. I've read the same stories about the s4 and note 3, and recently saw a friends phone and his was chipping on the bezel. Is this affecting anyone? Also is the phone creaky like the previous generation of Samsung phones? I can't stand that creaky-ness.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dr. Evo:

[General Questions and Answers] NOTORIOUS VR:
Not sure if I'm the only one with this issue, but whenever I want to write the word "don't" the auto correct always corrects to "DONT" by default.

It's done this on all my devices so far, no matter what. It's as if it's linked to maybe my google account or something as I cannot find it in any of the custom dictionary areas in the phone.

Does anyone have any ideas? It's quite frustrating and not sure where else to ask for help on this.

The pim.vol file contains all of your contacts, calendar entries, and tasks.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to move this to SD card. And that's been the case since my first PPC phone, so it probably can't be done. If it could, then I'm sure some bright spark would've figured it out by now.

Looks like we're stuck with it in our Storage memory...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TambourineMan:
For awhile I had both a PIM.vol and a PIM.volc - one was 9MB and the other over 8MB. So needless to say I was running out of storage memory even though I put almost everything on my SD card. Anyone know what the second one was for?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
I found a setting in the registry a while back:

HKLM\System\Platform\DataPath = \

I wanted to have a fiddle and see if I could move the .VOL files into a directory rather than the root, but I figured that this was one of those hard-reset-if-it-goes-wrong moments.

Is this the right setting? Is it possible to copy the .VOL files somewhere else, change this setting and reboot?

Even if it is only to \Documents and Settings\<user> it would make the root directory clean.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TambourineMan:
Regarding the PIM.volc, if it happens again I assume I can just delete it. I got rid of it by doing a hard reset and a restore so I have solved the probem for now.

I've had the PIM.volc file/error before and I just manually deleted it with no problems at all.

I can't post in developer sections but wanted to reply about a post some one put about their phone shutting down. I also had the same problem.

I have had zero issues like this, but have seen similar cases on other devices when running newer roms/kernels, on older firmware /radios.

Just a thought and maybe something worth looking at.
[HTC Droid DNA] Billy3369:
Everything was off of latest Verizon update. Only other thing is I had tried the OSE Rom and also Sundream's first One port but had done multiple wipes and went to a factory rooted rewiped and then to yours. Maybe I picked up a bug somewhere else that couldn't be removed by resets and wipes.

first method.. you can try flashing recovery from FASTBOOT mode..

download 4EXT recovery.img from here then extracted file and placed it to your adb/ sdk folder on your pc...then flash it through FASTBOOT mode with command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

second method...you can firstly flash RUU that already rooted by phiber2000 download from here.. through bootloader with PD98IMG.zip name of file..to fix your bootloader and at once replaced your hboot to the newest of ENG hboot..after that...you can continued with the first step for flashing recovery.img through FASTBOOT

Just updated to CM11, all settings and home screens wiped.

I did a Nandroid backup right before the update so I'm back on CM10.2 with all settings restored and what not.

Every other time I've update CM my settings and homescreen layout+folders have remained untouched (only widgets need to be re-added).

Right now I'm using the new CM Installer, so once an update is downloaded OTA it's a one push update, the phone installs everything, reboots, reloads apps and you're good to go.

Did it wipe everything because it was a 'full' update in Android versions?

If I run Titanium and do a restore of just apps with data it won't fix what was wiped.

How can I update without loosing all my settings and preferences, as well as my home screen layout?

should i buy this tablet, is there going to be any DEV Support in the future, are there going to be any roms in the future ?

now i do understand that all the s-pen features will be sacrificed but whenever i look at note 3 development, i get hope that it will work good even if we have to sacrifice a little of s-pen features

i hope some roms come in the future and take advantage of this note 10.1 2014 edition's hardware :D
