[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kkingboy:
I'm starting to think that you are not using a SM-N9005 and you flashed the wrong efs files. and you are getting all these errors because you are flashing the wrong files.

Do you have the box of the phone? check there if you are using a SM-N9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
Should I search and download N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005OXADMJ4_BTU or use N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
I def have a SM-N9005

On back of phone it says:

N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO?

that was a example

and download 6.4.7 recovery
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kkingboy:
Perfect. Just making sure. Now follow the method nabilsweet007 posted. But to be honest, I got the efs problem because of X-Note and Sweet ROM. So, I strongly suggest not to use them. I have not done all the method nabilsweet007 posted. Only this part

and I did it through CWM and it fixed it for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
So just to clarify when it says use a clean Rom I should use XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO yes?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabilsweet007:
yes
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kkingboy:
Is there any chance that you remember the ROM it came with the device the first time you got?

I would say download that and work with it.

But didn't you flash a 4.4.2 ROM at some point? or it failed and never flashed?

Because if you flashed it then you cannot flash any other ROMS unless they are 4.4.2. which leaves you to N9005XXUENA6.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
Ok thanks. I'm going to have some dinner and get to it in a couple of hours. Will let you know how it goes.

No IMEI and S/N? - I said it'd happen :(

OK now you have issues, People who have lost IMEI/S/N due to EFS script messing up the device have not been recoverable, [MENTION=5671669]berrg[/MENTION] bricked his device fixing it.

Gonna be a long long road now I'm afraid :(, So you need to go check out Mireks thread HERE - now before you try anything, you need to read and understand the issue before attempting to fix it, but a word of caution, it's possible to hard brick. berrg has yet to fix his device, and it seems only fix for loss of IMEI/S/N is service. However mirek and a couple of others recovered their devices.

EDIT: as you seem to have a HK model, it's gonna be tougher to work around and fix - EDIT: Read back, 3 pages since I been gone? damn

EDIT: 2 VERY IMPORTANT: DON'T USE ODIN 3.09 USE 3.07 or 1.85!

I rooted following http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/ and worked fine did for a few days until I tried to install a custom ROM.

I followed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2510908 and it failed, I.e. flashed ok but stayed on galaxy note 3 screen so yes it was a kitkat rom
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
as posted before I still have S/N does this make a difference
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kkingboy:
OK. I'll tell you what I did to get out of this conundrum.

I put my phone on download mode and hooked it to my laptop.

KIES reported that a phone needs repairing is connected and started to download the ROM to install it.

I noted down the ROM and grabbed it myself from sammobile.com.

flashed it with odin.

flashed TWRP and did the commands I mentioned before.

The phone worked like a charm after that.

I never downloaded another custom rom other than OMEGA and I recommend doing so because they are IMO more knowledgeable about customizing than most others.

Try and download Samsung Kies and put the phone on download, connect and report back.

It says to install CWM 6.0.4.4 should I do this? or install CWM 6.0.4.7?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
I got up to here and it looks like everything is working fine, I used CWM 6.0.4.7

PREPARATIONS :

- install samsung drivers

- extract NOTE 3 - Fix soft bricked.rar and put files on your extended sd card. and UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip as well

- go to download mode

- install via Odin some clean rom and use pit file as well and check boxes in odin :

nand erase all,

Re-partition

Phone efs clear

- after install rom go into recovery and make full wipe

- odin again and install n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1025) ( button AP in odin )

- go to recovery - install zip - choose extended sd card - UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip

- boot system ( su has to be installed )

I have IMEI number and SN in about phone. I can make a call, wifi works, mobile data works, camera works

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! Especially nabilsweet007

Now, to play devils advicote will I be able to install a custom ROM or and I stuck with this? It doesn't matter too much, I have my phone back! and with KitKat :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
I didn't actually do this, that is flash N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO as I only got up to the flashing stage and flashed cwm recovery and all worked after this could this of been all that I needed to do?

Just to clarify steps I did to get it back,

1. In ODIN PIT->My-N9005.pit AP->N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_XEO Checked nand erase all, Re-partition, Phone efs clear ---> Flash Successful

2. Recovery and did full wipe

3. ODIN AP->n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar

4. CWM Recovery install zip->UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65

5. Phone boots successfully and I see network bars so I decide to test it out

a. I skip through setup

b. Open settings-general-about device- status and IMEI number is there and so is Serial Number

c. I try make a phone call and it works, I connect to WiFi and it works, I take a picture with camera and it works.

So knowing all this, what conclusions can we make? Do I have a HK version after all?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Glad you got sorted finally, Well now you know you can fix it, you can try if you're brave haha

EDIT: Still unsure if you have a HK or not lol..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
I might just leave it.. It is rooted and on KitKat which is good enough for me from there I can install custom themes and remove bloatware, thats enough for me.. As KitKat was not available to me before would this suggest I had the HK version or not?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
Just found SuperSU is not working, comes up with "There is no binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root consult the relevant forums for your device"

This I will do but has anyone got a suggestion on where to look instead of me searching all over the place?

---UPDATE---

I have flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip and it works :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
Samsung has, officially, only made the 16GB version available in Hong Kong.

Devices with 32GB or 64GB capacity were never made to be running the Hong Kong firmware. But people who are selling these models in Hong Kong load that particular ROM on these before selling them (gray market).

This messes up the pit of the phone and it can from here on out, only accept Hong Kong ROMs which are actually made with a 16GB pit in mind.

As of now, there is no way of flashing an official non Hong Kong ROM on a 16GB Hong Kong device. But a 32GB or 64GB device which has had the Hong Kong ROM flashed can be brought back from the dark side by using the correct pit.

Hopefully this will clear up some confusion. I did quite a bit of research to arrive at this conclusion.

Now, we need to find a developer proficient enough with partitioning to make a pit file for the 16GB such that it can also flash the non Hong Kong ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabrady85:
This appears to be the case and my phone now works! After I flashed My-N9005.pit all works well. After this though, I'm not brave enough to try flashing a custom ROM, not just yet.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locky Loki:
hey mabrady85, thanks for quoting my tutorial, but you have to read carefully. First, Hong Kong doesn't have 32Gb Note 3, never, so some steps in my tutorial will need to be changed to fit your case. Second, I think between your step 8 and step 9, you went through the setup, and that is what caused the continual no sound, no network, no camera, slow lockscreen for me. You should NOT go beyond the first Language selection screen. Reboot into download mode after you pressed NEXT and then flash the CP from the leaked ROM.

Well, glad that you fit your phone anyway, next time, be careful.

As quoted below Hong Kong do have a 32Gb. They put their own ROM on it and this is where I had the problem.

No point arguing without proof. Here's the official Hong Kong Samsung website. If you can find 32Gb for sale, then I am wrong. But I don't think you can.

All I can say is the phone definatly came from Hong Kong as per shipping info and Kitkat wasn't available for my phone, hence why I tried putting a custom rom on in the first place.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locky Loki:
Shipping info says it's from Hong Kong doesn't mean the phone is made officially for the Hong Kong market. Hong Kong is a interchange for import and export. People from around the world trade phones in places like Sin Tak in Mongkok. Shop owners take in second hand phones worldwide and manipulate them with software and hardware upgrade before selling them to overseas markets.

Manufacturer Description

5 USB Smart Ports auto-adjust charging speeds to charge phones, tablets or any USB-charged devices at their maximum speeds (up to 8A).

The size of a deck of playing cards (3.6 x 2.3 x 1.0in) and unibody design for added portability.

Industrial-grade plastic construction and premium circuitry ensure lifetime reliability.

AC 100-240V input voltage ideal for international travel.

Package contents: Anker® 40W 5-Port Wall Charger, 5ft / 150cm detachable power cord, user manual.

Design/Build Quality

Anker has changed it up from their previous 5 port charger; going from a glossy white to a matte black. The New charger has a slightly smaller footprint but mostly keeps the same design.

The new charger has a two tone scheme where the majority is a soft matte black and the front port face is a glossy black. Upon closer inspection, its pretty solid in hand. Nothing bends or creaks when playing with it. It has a good weight to it. The matte black is somewhat of an oil magnet from your hands when touching it but nothing too serious.

Overall, it has a great solid feel to it.

Performance/Testing

Unlike the previous white 25w version that had specific ports for specific outputs; this is a 40w smart charger. Meaning that any device plugged into any port will have the fast charging possible. That being said it is capped off at 8 amps total for all the ports. So you can't plug in 5 ipads and expect full 2 amp charging for each of the ipads, but 3 ipads and 2 phones will be at max speed.

Testing it, it charged my devices as fast as the previous version and their oem chargers.

It was tested with:

Nexus 5

Nexus 7

S3

S2

Ipad 2

Ipad 4 retina

Ipad Mini

Sansa Clip Zip mp3 player

External Battery Power banks

All were charged just fine with no noticeable problem.

Conclusion

If you're like me and have multiple gadgets, a charger like this is a perfect companion for any tech geek. It's nice to be able to charge all my devices at one charger and not have multiple wall outlets over taken by chargers.

Note* - I was given a sample for review in exchange for a completely honest review.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Celestial:
I have recently purchased a QTek 9000 and I am very happy with the device. I was wondering if someone knew of UPNP compatible software which could be loaded on the Universal to access media on my PC.

While I have full network access without re-encoding my videos TCPMP has to buffer because of the large amount of data to display. Instead of having to re-encode what if someone could write an app using the UPNP specification to access media on a PC.

I have a networked DVD Player (Avel LinkPLayer) it can access media on my PC and display it on my TV. If for some reason it cannot display the video (unknown DIVX variant or some other codec entirely), the "server software" can transcode the video to play on the device in real-time. Of course, this requires processing on the PC side but this would be great for watching movies on a network in your home without transcoding.

Any takers?
[General Questions and Answers] ImKrimzen:
Hey, I recently had my friend flash the unofficial CyanogenMod10 ROM onto my HTC Desire C (Non-NFC version)

I am encountering an error where about 80% of the time when my phone is asleep, and I press the power button to wake it, it will flash on and then go back to sleep.

If I press the power button as quick as I possibly can it will still happen, however; if I hold it down it will stay on until I let it go, at which point it will definitely go back to sleep; I honestly don't know what's happening.

It sometimes also occurs when I've taken a screenshot; it has a high chance of going to sleep when I take my finger off of the power button, same as when I hold down to view the power menu. (That shows reboot, turn off, airplane mode, etc.) and when let go of the button it usually also shuts off, what's happening, is this a problem with the ROM, or something I may have changed?

Also this issue only started occurring about 2 days after the initial flash, whereas until the point everything was working nice and smoothly.

This issue is really annoying...

P.S: Would I be better off using the newest JellyTime ROM rather than the vanilla CM ROM on my Desire C?

Thanks!

Damn im in the same boat and im going to T mobile too ! Im really deciding on the nexus 5 or moto x .. and with these price drops its making me lend to the motox .

I LOVE how the motox features are they just seem really cool and the design is damn nice unlike my nexus 4 was kinda blah.

But i been looking around and there doesnt seem to very much people doing Rom development at all so im broken on that .

And im not sure how long would it take for the moto x to get updated to the newest version of android in the future and if they will just drop everything when a new motox is out and it would take us longer to get updates .

Also future based who knows what new things will come out and if the nexus would get some of the features the motox has.. hmm..

.. so im pretty at a stand still with picking which one. and if i picked the nexus i would feel like i would miss those cool features :crying:

[Moto X Q&A] RenSoAbrupt:
4.4.2 is soon available for the X. So expect that to come soon as Motorola seem to be shipping updates quicker than any other company out.

ROM development is low because the phone is basically vanilla Android.

Doubt anyone will get the Moto X features. Though it will be replicated, it won't be done the same as in terms of battery management and core processing.

Possibly after the Moto X stops receiving updates, we may have more than a handful of devs jumping on board.
