All I know is that the latest version of Hangouts fixed this issue for myself and a lot of other users. So, as simple as it may sound make sure you have the most recent version.

Try clearing the app cache and data then uninstall Hangouts then reinstall from the Play Store and start from scratch.

With the limited options I in Hangouts at the moment this seems about the only resolution.

Maybe a third party app like gosms will handle mms properly on the N5. It is what I used on previous devices before Hangouts but can't confirm if it works on the N5 as I haven't needed it.

Hi everyone,

A quick one really, I updated my GS3 to the latest AUT 4.3. I wish to root the device and use triangle away. I know how to use both. I just want to ask does Triangle away still work on this firmware to reset the counter or has it ceased to work?

So this does a REAL full wipe?

I ask because I've ODIN'd many times already for various reasons and afterwards, even doing a factory reset, there were still some leftover files in the /root folders. Specifically the efs folder where I had made .bak files from mods.

Selling my phone soon and want to make sure it is TRULY 100% stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
Since we're talking PIT files and Odin, I am curious:

I have flashed MJE tar in Odin and never used a PIT file (PIT box remained unchecked and no file was loaded at any time during Odin)..

My question is: if the PIT file configures partitions, and I didn't use the PIT file, SHOULD I be having issues with my int sdcard because I am not having ANY issues with it...

If I am supposed to use PIT file and didn't, should I be expecting issues down the road?

I kinda understood that the PIT was only needed to CHANGE standard configuration of partitions...

A little PIT file / partition schooling would be great so I know one way or the other for future Odin use... THANKS!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
As long as you are giving credit, how about including a URL to his post(s) that you used?

(If [MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION] helped you via PM or off of XDA, then please disregard this inquiry.)

Someone would probably have to look at slack space at the end of partitions to determine that; reason being is that we don't have a good way to boot the device in a "blank" state, but only after a bunch of stuff has already been re-written by Odin. (On other Android devices with unlocked bootloaders, it is easy: you just soft-boot a recovery using fastboot, and then talk to the in-memory-only recovery using ADB to do raw dumps of the various partitions).

If you could write something into a partition (e.g. dd seek=...) SAFELY skipping over important stuff at the front end, you could look for it after an Odin install. (Maybe the PAD or FOTA partitions would be a safe place to do this).

It might just re-partition only. Or, in the case of ext4 filesystem formatting, only the space used by the filesystem overhead (journal, superblocks, inode tables,etc) gets re-written and "trash" with your old data can still exist in unallocated space. (Seems like flash memory wear-leveling should make complete erasure desirable - but with a penalty of an annoying delay).

Any clues from the Odin erase times? The fastest I've been able to *read* from the N3's memory is about 110 MB/sec, and I would think erasures would take longer - at that kind of speed a full erase of 32 GB would take nearly 5 minutes just to perform the erase.

The EFS thing you mention is a little odd - unless you were flashing an Odin tarball file without an image file corresponding to the EFS partition, and the partitioning by the PIT stayed identical. In that case, /data would be wiped (or maybe more precisely the /data partition would have it's ext4 filesystem re-built), but since the /efs is a mount (ext4, rw) of a separate partition, it could survive with those conditions.

I am glad that this post helped u too...actually in the beginning i was also scared to use all those options, but after reading whole forum and asking developers and an experienced guy who actually did this...i can confirm that it is the best way to Clean Wipe and Erase User data partition of our Note 3...because other methods such as Wipe Factory Reset fail to do so...

Cheers!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moin786:
Yes brother it really does Full Clean Wipe...If u want to sell your phone...this is the best way to bring it to 100% Stock...

[MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION] is an experienced developer and has personally did it on his Note 3 many times, he explained me about it

Don't be afraid...you wont face any problems...just do it...and share your experience...

Cheers!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moin786:
I also used to flash MJE tar in ODIN and never use PIT file...because

1) It is not needed if ur purpose is only to flash STOCK ROMS...

2) Don't worry your current partitions will have no issues if u dont use PIT file while flashing STOCK ROM...but if u select the option Re-partition in ODIN and then don't use PIT file in PIT button then you will have problems with your partitions...and later u must use PIT file to Re-partition your device.

A PIT contains the Partitions details of the respective device and is only used :

1) When u want to Re-partition your device and Flash STOCK ROM in ODIN...

2) When u want to Re-partition & Perform Full Clean Wipe using Nand Erase All and then Flash STOCK ROM in ODIN...

thats why when u put the PIT file in PIT button the Re-partition is automatically checked...

Also If you want use the Nand Erase All option only then also you need PIT file because Nand Erase wipes the contents of the partitions and it uses PIT file to read the partitions details of our device...

Thats why don't use the option Nand Erase All without having PIT file because it will Brick your device...

[MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION] is an experienced developer and has personally did it on his Note 3 many times,he explained me:

So when u add the STOCK ROM in AP Button and if u check the Re-partition option without having Pit file...it may break your partition and your device may Boot loop...So PIT file is mandatory while doing Re-partition or Nand Erase All...

And Regarding Phone EFS Clear i had no idea what it is...I just didnt wanna lose my IMEI information and Unlocked Sim after Re-partition and Nand Erase...

So [MENTION=2198172]mirek190[/MENTION] told me to clear Phone EFS also to perform clean wipe... and i wont lose any information...as it is completely safe because ODIN doesnt wipe IMEI details...

So you guys can even check the option Phone EFS Clear...

PS: So i think it is useful to do a Clean Wipe (Re-partition, Nand Erase All, Phone EFS Clear) only when

1) Your Partition is broken.

2) Your device is soft bricked.

3) You want to sell your phone.

4) Upgrading the firmware or bootloader (Like MI9 to MJ7, MJ7 to MJE or MJE to NC4)

5) Once in a while because of flashing Stock/Custom ROMS many times using ODIN or Safestrap...

And don't do clean wipe often because erasing the Nand often will degrade its quality...

And always make sure that you have the right PIT file and STOCK ROM...

Cheers!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moin786:
I had interaction with him mainly via PM...

I read his entire thread on how to recover Note 3 if Soft bricked...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567133

In the above thread he is working on his Bricked Note 3 and he has mentioned the symptoms also...

We dont have to run the adb commands mentioned in his thread...because we will lose the IMEI and Phone information if we follow the steps in his OP...

If we just follow the steps mentioned in my OP (Opening Post) then that is enough to clean wipe Note 3...

Cheers!!!

Cheers mate...i am glad this method helped u too!!! Yes when the device auto reboots after flashing, it doesnt initialise ever and gets stuck on the Verizon Logo, this is happening only with Kitkat firmware...So when ODIN Auto reboots the device after flashing we have to wait till the status is PASS and Exit option is highlighted in ODIN, then Unplug the device, remove the battery, Power on the device, go into recovery mode, perform Factory Reset Data, Wipe Cache Partition and reboot it.

Thanks!!!

Hey guys,

I was on 4.4.2 from the verizon OTA. I rooted using towel root but I still wanted to change to jasminROM. Unfortunately, this method got me stuck in the broken android screen (download mode) and I had to repair using the verizon upgrade software.

This resulted because Odin had a NAND WRITE Fail error when I was flashing the stock MJE rom. Is there anything I can do to load the leaked NC2/4 bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moin786:
Once you have taken the 4.4.2 NC4 OTA...you cant ODIN back to MJE firmware using any method because we can't downgrade our bootloader from NC4 to MJE...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neur0t0xin64:
What about the leaked NC4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moin786:
We have two things Leaked NC2 and Official NC4, there is nothing like leaked NC4...

Because u have taken NC4 OTA...your bootloader is fixed to NC4 now and cant be downgraded to NC2 or MJE...

I think you can do one thing, which is flash the leaked NC2 kernel in ODIN on the NC4 firmware and then you can use the Jasmine ROM on your device because Jasmine ROM needs NC2 Kernel...

Step- 3 - Install Hashcodes Latest Safestrap 3.72

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjh68:

Is it right?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montisaquadeis:
Ok here's the deal I did the steps like it shows and got stuck on the verizon logo when restarted so I went ahead and went into recovery and did the whole wipe cache and factory reset the device so it brings me to the verizon setup wizard now when booting but it still says custom when booting the device. I had the leaked NC2 rom on the device with root and Nox was not tripped and is still not tripped.

Wasn't this procedure suppose to get rid of the custom boot? Or am I misunderstanding what this does?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moin786:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnmag:
When I Odin'ed back to stock 4.4.2 recently, I also continued to get the Custom Unlock splash screen after multiple reboots... Other users in the Verizon Note 3 threads have reported this same issue as well in several different threads. The Triangle Away App fixed it for me. You'll just have to use Odin again to restore to stock after using Triangle Away.

If you are still able to root the phone... (which would mean you haven't updated it past

4.4.2 yet), then you can root the phone again with Towelroot, reinstall Busybox (for good measure), and then use Chainfire's Triangle Away app to remove the Custom Unlock splash screen. Check out this thread for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785457

Good luck!

Edit: Just for clarification.... I did not use the Nand Erase All option when I used Odin to restore to stock. I returned to stock 4.4.2 using Droidstyle's guide. So if the Custom Unlock splash does go away after one reboot as moin786 says, then there is no need to use Triangle Away. :)

Bro, this is the first time I've heard about these options? Hey, I have a question: if I flashed like this, would it restore my original IMEI on my phone? I HEARD that the IMEI is read from the motherboard, but I also heard that if you don't have a backup of your /efs folder from the original stock ROM then you're screwed?

Do you or anyone else know anything about this? Problem is: I flashed a ROM on my Note 4 and it wiped my IMEI, replacing it with a generic IMEI (350050500009692), and now I can't get it back without a backup of the /EFS folder?

I'm pretty sure it won't restore your IEMI if it's already gone but I would give it a shot anyways. You don't have anything to lose.. I never lost mine but it's worth a try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince.lupe:
Okay, I'll give it a shot, but also: I managed to grab the original specific firmware for my phone through Smart Switch firmware restoration which contains all individual files for flash through Odin (BL, AP, CP, and CSC) - but, I cannot downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1, so it won't flash. If I were to somehow manage to flash these files or some of these files (not sure which ones), would THAT restore my IMEI?

I don't think so because the IEMI is phone specific. It never happened to me so I honestly do not know.

I understand you bricked your Samsung Duo (GT-S7562) a few days ago and no doubt you are in a panic, possibly looking for help from any Odin experts you can find.

But this is a forum for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V), which uses PIT MSM8974.pit.

If you are going to spam as many forums as you can looking for help with your troubles, you should say right up front what model your phone is, and why you are posting in the wrong forum(s).

Failing to do that gives people the impression that you are trying to write the wrong firmware to the model of phone which corresponds to that forum.

good luck with your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
To my knowledge, if it's an SD card that can be removed, you shouldn't experience any problems with it. A regular misconception (mostly made by newbies) is that your phone has a partition specifically for an external SD card, but that is not true. Not all devices support an external SD card, so it would be a complete mess if OEM's started writing external SD cards as actual partitions in your device.

If your not talking about an external SD card, then there's no other SD card to talk about. The storage units in Android phones are eMMC units, not SD cards (Google it if you don't know what an eMMC unit is), your device just has a folder entitled /sdcard because that is the phones storage that's leftover for your use. For example, if a device is advertised with 16GB of internal storage, but you buy it and you only see 12.03GB of storage, that 12.03GB is your device's /sdcard folder. Your device gets this number after the os takes the cut of your storage. If you have experience with rooting Androids then you might notice that clicking on the /sdcard folder brings you to your device's internal storage. Another example would be if you installed a custom on your device, if you had the full 16GB of storage before, your device might have less, because the os takes a cut of your storage.

In a nutshell, using a pit file to flash in Odin only takes care of your device's actual partitions and will wipe all of your data stored on the internal storage, not your external SD card. The only time using a pit file in Odin is (highly) recommended is if you break a partition in your device.

Hope that made sense and hope it helped out in any way! :D:D
