[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] newuser134:
Can this be installed on a Dev edition? Since it probably has the aboot partition included, will it lock the Dev edition phone? Once a dev makes this rom suitable for the retail version, is there a way to extract and repack the files without the aboot portion? How does one make an Odin-flashable file anyway if one has the partitions like boot.img, modem.bin etc? I've always been wanting to learn to make my own Odin .tar files in case I want to flash and don't have recovery installed.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KachowPow:
Isn't anyone concerned about this update, I mean look at the SE Android Status from N9005 from the test build it is currently showing as Enforcing. For those of us with the Retail SM-N900V doesn't this mean no more Safestrap Recovery? Also, if you go back and read about the Test Firmware it does a complete wipe of Data, so shouldn't we be worried about Root too? I certainly understand the excitement over 4.4.2 but isn't anyone paying attention to what the test build has done?

Hard to be excited about losing Root and Safestrap to get KitKat... :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jparasita:
There is already root for the international version from chainfire but safestrap idk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KachowPow:
You mean Root has been restored already on the international version, which this is mainly due to the Unlocked Bootloader, which it is simpler to restore Root on a device that has an Unlocked Bootloader as you just install/flash the SU.zip in custom Recovery and Root is restored, works for Unlocked devices. There lies the problem, for those of us with the retail SM-N900V if the KitKat update does a complete wipe on install deleting the internal storage all is lost, if SE is set to Enforcing it could be a cold winter.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TheLoonyRebel:
I'm pretty sure the Kingo folks might get us root again on Kit Kat in no time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] suzook:
Idk...kitkat really doesnt seem to be a big deal. I have it running on another device, and its a minor update. I could live with 4.3 and a rooted device with safe strap
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Reilly1812:
+1. Did nothing but mess up bluetooth on nexus 10.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KachowPow:
It's not really Root I'm worried about, I'm more concerned with Recovery. If the SE status changes from "Permissive" to "Enforcing" there goes our ability to flash new custom 4.4.2 ROMs that I'm sure will come out. It will be like owning a SM-N900A.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nbdysreal:
I was under the impression that the only data wipe was when people are Odin-ing the update, rather than accepting an OTA. On the past androids i had (incredible, thunderbolt, galaxy nexus, s3, note 10.1, nexus 7) i haven't had an update that wiped data from an OTA.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Brandonrz:
For some reason I don't think they are going to set it to enforcing. Because they haven't for the past 3 updates. Even if they did. Hash would be able to easily cook up ss because on the at&t note 3 and Verizon s4 and s3 are enforcing and he was able to do it... Never underestimate [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KachowPow:
Yep, that is a very valid point. The SM-N9005 Test ROM requires the use of Odin which it does a Full-Wipe, an OTA just like those of the past that we've had have not done a Data wipe, so we could Protect Root with Survival Mode and then Restore after the Update completes.

The big question still remains out there is the SE Android Status after the Update is going to be "Permissive" as it is now, or is it going to be "Enforcing"?

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I certainly know not underestimate Hashcode, that guy is a pure Genius in human form. I'm just trying to rule out the variables before the update so that there are no surprises when it comes around. Last thing, anyone would like to have happen is get KitKat and all of sudden lose Root and Safestrap. I certainly don't lack faith in anyone's abilities, I'd rather be prepared for the storm before it hits, that way there is no storm.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] zepfloyd:
It probably will be enforcing. That's now the default in KitKat itself.

Hi guys,

So my HTC One had the issue with where in low light I get the purple tint. I called AT&T and they said they will send me a new replacement phone and I just have to mail them back the old one. So the one I have has a custom ROM on it and the bootloader is unlock. Before I send it back, what should I exactly do? I'm assuming I should put a stock ROM on it, guessing there is one out there. Do I have to relock the bootloader? Thank you any advice would be great.

Hey, is there any OS that i can install on Android that is faster than Android? i mean more smooth and better performance, how is firefox OS and ubuntu touch compared to Android in performance? thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3493119:
Actually, Firefox OS runs quite smooth on most devices but to run Firefox OS you need a quite decent device to run it smooth, and the same goes with Ubuntu Touch. So if you have a ArmV6 device you will not be able to run this, as it will lag also Firefox OS and Ubuntu Touch works on ArmV7 only out of the box.

Hi, thanks for reply. So you mean if i have enough SoC performance then it will run smoother than what the mobile will do on Android?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3493119:
Really depends on, but those 2 OS's doesn't have that many apps and aren't as advanced as Android currently is either. So I would suggest you to stick with Android.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YabosMcGee:
So, I was given a T-Mobile SGH-T999 that someone had found a while back, but was unable to get activated. It didn't have a SIM in it, and I think it may even have been used off T-Mobile at some point (based on evidence below). Checking the IMEI it seems that it's only blocked on T-Mobile (AT&T says they do not have a block against this IMEI, and it's not showing up in any lost/stolen databases), so I'm guessing non-payment or carrier unlock. I would like to SIM unlock it, but I'm not entirely sure what has been done to this phone. I've never owned or played with a Galaxy S3, so my only knowledge has been from digging around this forum for a couple hours. Here's what I can tell you from looking through this phone. I'm hoping to get some advice on my next course of action:

Model number SGH-T999

Android Version 4.1.2

Baseband version T999UVDMD5

Kernel version 3.0.31-1128078 se.infra@SEP-128 #2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 15 11:59:10 KST

Build number JZO54K.T999UVDMD5

Device Status Modified

Odin Mode

Product name SGH-T999

Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts)

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable

I first tried SIM unlock, only to eventually find out that I would need to downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1. The threads I've read on downgrading indicate that to get back down to official 4.1.1 I need to be stock to begin with. I don't think this phone is rooted because I am unable to "su" when using adb shell or browse directories like /data. However, Odin saying it has a custom binary, and the device status saying modified makes me believe this phone was rooted at some point. Again, I have no experience with the GS3, so I may be way off base (I don't even know if Odin is the stock recovery).

So, before I can downgrade to 4.1.1 do I need to use Triangle Away, reset the flash counter, etc? Or, can I just use Odin to flash 4.1.1. Finally, will I also need to flash a different modem even after that?

I'd appreciate any advice and help you can give me. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks for doing some research before posting. Its refreshing to see you picked up basics even if you have never used this model before.

You didn't mention if there's a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM. If it was there and you were brave or comfortable enough, I'd have suggested a 4.1.1 modem to flash (UVDLJC).

So to your question on unlock, essentially, your best bet is to flash a Root66 of UVDLJC version. Read the first post of Root66 completely word for word before you download and flash. Less chances of hard brick that way. A Root66 is a Galaxy S* family term for rooted stock firmware. It just has root injected in it. Everything else is just stock. So it does not trip the flash counter.

Now your counter is already tripped. So you will have to use Triangle away as you already know. So after Root66 and Triangle Away, you will be all stock and good to go. Follow the process for unlock as you have already found out and then go with ATT.

Now if you wish, after the unlock, you can flash UVDMD5 version of Root66 and you will get JB 4.2.1. Do not flash UVUEMJC version of Root66. Locked bootloader and efuse hardbrick lie in that direction.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YabosMcGee:
No problem. I work in IT, so I know the frustration of someone asking for help without even trying to do any basic research first :p

Looks like I should have done my research a bit better. I misunderstood, thinking that Odin was some sort of recovery. Just looked up how to get into recovery, and it looks like stock to me (it just reads Android system recovery 3e). So, it is possible to just simply flash LJC modem on 4.1.2 so I can unlock, or am I misunderstanding?

Just to make sure I understand correctly, it IS Triangle away first, then Route66 second? If I'm interpreting correctly, I can do this even if not rooted? All the devices I've ever flashed ROMs to before (even when going back to stock ROM) needed a custom recovery and/or root. But, since this device doesn't appear to be rooted, I just wanted to make sure I don't need to root before flashing Route66.

Thank you so much for the information. Once I get everything in order, and the SIM unlocked, I'll probably spend many hours researching how I want to progress (so you've already helped cut down that time). I honestly haven't come across modem flashing in previous devices, so I will definitely need to read more to fully understand the implications.

Out of curiosity, do you have any theories on how the flash counter was tripped? Everything appears to be stock, but the flash counter and device status seem to indicate otherwise. Just trying to figure out the history of this device. Again, thanks so much for the help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Really everything Perseus said is on point, except you don't need to use triangle away because really that's just to reset the counter and its unnecessary for you.. You can either flash a custom recovery and flash the LJA or LJC modem to do the unlock, or Odin the LJA or LJC firmware and proceed with the unlock

Edit: and to answer how the counter was tripped, it looks like they may have rooted it at some point and then unrooted it and returned it to stock.. The counter does not change
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes that's stock recovery. You can't flash modems with it. If you have custom recovery then the flash counter will keep on tripping at every boot. Best if use ODIN to flash LJA or LJC firmware, do the unlock and then flash MD5 firmware so you are back to JB 4.2.1. Triangle Away's purpose is to reset that flash counter you saw. I do believe it needs Root. I don't remember since I did it so long ago. I just thought you will want to it after all this flashing is done so its all squeaky clean.

Theoretically with android architecture, it could be done on any device. The trick lies in remounting that partition as read-write correctly. Have fun reading this.

Looks like Serio beat me to it. He's spot on where the origins of the tripped counter is concerned.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YabosMcGee:
Thanks Persus77 and serio22. Everything worked out great.

Regarding Samsung's "Warranty Bit" Sh**​

(Originally from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49345592)​

For those of you who are as ticked off as I am about Samsung's new warranty bit/voided warranty behavior due to a suspected E-fuse in their latest devices, YOU (yes, YOU) need to speak up and make sure that Samsung executives are starkly aware of who pays for their 50' yachts and their effing Bentleys! Tell them that your support for them is easily dissolved and that this new "practice" of theirs is one of the quickest and easiest ways to dissolve it.

Consumers are the ones who pay Samsung's bills. This is a truth that they would rather not acknowledge, but given a force that's great enough in numbers, they will yield to the will of their consumers.

Just look at Microsoft and Windows 8 (8.1), as well as their recent release of Office 2013 (license transfer). Microsoft has got to be one of THE most stubborn corporations in the world right now, but even they have yielded to the overwhelming force that is the consumer, and more specifically, their bank accounts. Ever heard the phrase "money talks"? Oh, it most certainly talks.. We as consumers have the ability to make our money talk collectively, so, if we want to see an end to this new way that they're giving their customers the shaft, we need to join voices and speak UP.

Drown them with emails, light up their tech support lines, and paint this picture for them as clearly as you can. Tell them that you WILL NOT continue to purchase their devices when they deny warranty service simply because of a "warranty bit", or for other ridiculous and non-sensical reasons, and tell them that Knox should come as an OPTION and NOT A MANDATE. I've listed a few ways to do that below. If anyone else has other/better ways of doing so, then by all means, share with the class.

Every Android phone I've ever bought came out of warranty when rooted. In Note 3, Samsung just found a way to detect rooting, that's all. Nothing else changed, so I don't think this is going to have much effect.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jjnhl68:
But you even cant flash stock FW, nor downgrade, which will lead to 0x1 flag. Also, did you see amount of RAM tat knox uses? And you tell me % of users that need knox? Most expensive device, with many weaknesses that they didn't address, but they forced us to accept knox. No choice, or to stay on 4.2.2. And everything with no clear explanation!? I won't buy their product soon!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Skander1998:
Good - don't.

Knox is included and everyone knows that, it's in the box and everywhere.

Downgrading is a security risk and rooting is technically an exploit.

Knox uses very little RAM (if you uninstall the main apk which doesn't even require root)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
I can't believe we're still talking about ram usage of some small apps even if we've got 2/3 gbs of ram to spare...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chkenwing:
But then, KNOX using no RAM would be better. If half the owners of Note3 don't use KNOX, what's the point in it even using any?

Why have a device that's so powerful but then put on software that just hogs. 2.5GB memory yet the TouchWiz and the other crap that Samsung put in it take up so much.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mediumsteak:
OP, after reading your post, I find it very difficult to comprehend the exact purpose and reasoning that you are trying to convey. After all, it sounds that you are merely butthurt that you got denied warranty because you tampered with your device.

However, you must try to understand how the business world works first.

Your issue is a problem that a miniscule portion of the market experiences. Those of us who consider themselves "leet haxxorz" tend to enjoy tinkering with their devices to streamline the user experience. However, things often go wrong - phones and tablets get bricked. Then the frustrated consumer heads back to Samsung to demand repair/exchange.

As a corporation, Samsung must have noticed that this was costing them a significant amount of money, and hence KNOX was created as a comprehensive tool with a feature to instantly diagnose whether product has been tampered with.

The average user that understands absolutely nothing about technology could care less whether KNOX exists or not.

And as long as KNOX will save the company money in the long run, your persistent complaints will accomplish absolutely nothing. Don't forget that we represent a fairly insignificant portion of the market. Encouraging users to tamper with products encourages liability which costs money. Money that no company is willing to pay.

The only advice I can offer you is to ensure you are not voiding any sort of warranty before you partake in certain activities. By doing research I was able to avoid the 0x1 situation, and retain my warranty. Of course, I had to sacrifice rooting and installing a custom ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Khizar:
no ppl have flashed stock roms without tripping their knox..

as the other user said this can be considered a security issue so you have no argument..

its like any other "bloat", do you use any of those apps? do you cry about those apps?

what weaknesses? and it isnt most expensive anymore... :angel:

how do you plan on doing that? as the note 3 came with 4.3 :cool:

the word "knox" is printed EVERYWHERE.. what more are they supposed to do to make users "aware"

only part of your post that i agree with :laugh:

PS- next time you want a big company to do what YOU want...try doing research and not make silly mistakes that can make your argument really weak ;)
