Switch to the latest CWM and try. I had problems with TWRP when flashing. You could also try Philz Touch which is what I use.

Did you only try CM11 or other ROMs too?

You can flash the zip version from here via TWRP: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att

Hi everyone,

first of all, sorry for my english, i'm not fluent but i'm trying my best.

I bought a GN3 n9005, and tried to transfer data from my old phone (htc one) to it. I used MyBackup Pro and Message Sync, but there was nothing to do. On my htc, i have 8304sms, and no matter what i do, it seems that the GN3 won't let me restore all of them on it.

Is there something i can do?

Thanks guys for your quick answers. I've already used titanium backup pro, sms backup restore, smssync, MessageSync, Backup to Gmail. With MessageSync i output an xml from my htc, get it on my GN3, but while restoring, an error occurs when it exceeds 3000 sms (approximately). (screenshot attached to this post) With the others, in my sms box, i see 21 conversations all empty.

I think SMS backup restore won't erase existing when you restore. So try backup and restore in two pieces.

I did a factory reset so it was totally empty. Then after xml load fail, i erased all empty conversations so it was again clean, no sms, nothing.

I'm wondering if there's something in the sqlite like the "sms_outgoing_check_max_count" variable that i should set to illmited or something like that. Getting crazy with this thing!

I had CWM recovery installed and tried flashing this Stock ROM.

Now my phone is stuck in the Google Bootloop with the 4 colored circles and keeps vibrating. Google logo doesn't show up but just the 4 circles. i let it go for about 10min then tried to boot back into recovery but recovery won't load. just goes back to the google logo boot screen.

can anyone help me get back to recovery or to install my backup???

I backed up my phone in CWM before i flashed.

Also when i flashed, i only wiped cache as the instructions on the stock rom thread said to.

can anyone help?

thanks in advance

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elproduc3r:
FIXED

woo hoo! thought my phone was gonna be a piece of junk.

guess i'll leave this thread incase it can help someone like me.

i fixed this by booting back into download mod and using odin to flash CWM recovery again from here:

http://galaxys4root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/

then it PASSED but got stuck in bootloop again. so i held down power button (instead of removing battery) and shutdown and rebooted to recovery.

then i was able to install my backup!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Holding power + volume up to boot, or just volume up during a reboot will send you into recovery. Just for future reference...

Hi, just got my note 3 a few days back and I was prompted to update the firmware to 4.4.

Would jsut like to know what I might gain or lose in functionality with regards to flashing/rooting etc. etc.

Also a service name Index Service has been eating mybattery ever since I started syncing dropbox, anyone in the same boat?

Much Appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
Pros:

Some people claim better response, little faster speed, better battery life and gain about 300MB of RAM on clean boot.

Cons:

Change in SD card writing permission, third party programs can't write to SD card unless updated, won't work until then or you fix it manually but need root.

Can't root without tripping Knox

Can't go back to lower firmware

Third party s-view covers no longer work as designed

some other random incompatibilities with some programs, those are to be expected with any firmware update.

That's all I can remember for now.

If you use SD card with non factory installed programs, the new permissions could be a big deal especially if you want to keep your Knox flag =0
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Forgot to mention under pro's, better battery life...

Most of the pro's are under the hood upgrades. You will find it is a bit faster and some little problems you experience are fixed.

As I rooted my phone 10 minutes aftr I got home I have no problems with sd card and s-view case as there is a mod for that...

Knox warranty is voided when rooted but then again the phone is fine...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
Personally ATM I have no problems with my Note 3 running 4.3 at all, I'm rooted with Knox=0 so I can tweak speed, battery life etc. much better than KK can and I learned (at least I should have) long time ago, don't fix it, if it ain't broke, especially that I rely on SD card a lot (would be out of memory already if didn't have card), so yeah I would have to be stupid to upgrade and then trip the Knox to root just to have the phone running as well as it's now. Of course everybody is different and for example if I had my Knox tripped already, I may have been more tempted to upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Have had zero issues since flashing Kitkat on my Note, Only thing I regret (con to me) is jumping the gun and upgrading to the new boot loader (i was running AOSP for a while) - but now I can live with a non AOSP ROM as the new boot loader is being sorted.

PROS - battery is a lot better, smoother feel of the device in general also.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
No real Cons really, I feel that KitKat is alot better than JellyBean and personally, I really prefer the White Status bar icons. :D

I know exactly what you mean, I felt the same way when i flash MJ6 firmware that brought the new bootloader wayy back then on JB, but eventually, It would be hard to avoid upgrading the bootloader, plus i saw some people complaining of some weird issues like charging and stuff that upgrading bootloader fixed for some reason. Lol. Anyways.. BottomLine: ENJOY your phone. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waldschatten:
Depends on what you need.

I am very unhappy with my update, but I kinda had to as I was unfortunate enough to get one of the Note 3s that randomly reset itself. I haven't had that issue since updating, though I haven't been using it for more than the day so it could still decide to spontaneously reset itself, but all of my third party apps that access the SD card have stopped working.

Not a problem if you're rooted, but I'd like to keep my KNOX =0

As an added annoyance the Tap and Pay still doesn't work, I had hoped that the changes in 4.4 would let me use my Note 3 like I did my S3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
You should take a look at Google's KitKat page: http://www.android.com/versions/kit-kat-4-4/

It's very informative.

Remember that it isn't only fast, but it handles memory operations much more efficiently than on 4.3.

Battery life is also much better for me.

I've been running X-Note 10, and it has the ExtSDCard writing capability enabled again.

Running custom kernel, custom recovery and ROM with KNOX at 0x0. NB4.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
It only works on one particular variant of note 3 which is the N900W8. Other variants of note 3 will trip knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeezy:
After reading through these comments I probably would update too but I want to know one thing:

Can I update to KK without updating my bootloader ? (non rooted 4.3 MJ7)

Im asking this, because I read about updating your bootloader won't let you downgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hakired:
At this point in time it no longer worth it to remain in 4.3. All issues so far have been fixed or can be fixed. And also understand 4.3 is not "perfect". There are bugs in 4.3 as well that are probably fixed in 4.4.

Not to mention most of the custom rom devs don't make 4.3 roms anymore.

It's not worth it to stay in 4.3
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
The 4.3 bootloader does not have the capability of booting a 4.4 ROM, hence No.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeezy:
So would you advise me to upgrade to KK or to stay on JB and hope there will be some root method in near future ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denski101:
My 2 cents.

I dont think it's worth the hassle. The only cosmetic changes are the status bar icons- now all white and the new music lockscreen- fullscreen instead of pulldown widget.

You Lose sd card support for 3rd party apps who haven't been updated for KK. Also breaking some games: San andreas, among others (FCs) and losing features from apps: Boat Browser (Text wrapping).

You gain: Speed boost (modest at best), more available memory (RAM), Potentially better battery life (IMO 4.3 MJ7 just the same as NA6 4.4.2- other words no change in my case, YMMV)

If your not afraid of tripping knox and rooting than I'd say go for it. I don't mean to stifle your enthusiasm, just keepin it real. I will say this though, when I did update and I was unrooted for all of 10 minutes, the phone absolutely flew. Once rooted and everything back up and running the speed boost is minimal, the best word to describe it would be confident. The phone had less stutter and felt more confident (this is really nitpicking though).

✌
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeezy:
[MENTION=5654755]denski101[/MENTION] Alright, then I'll probably stay at 4.3

I think the performance increase can't be too big, cause it flies even with 4.3 no complaining here.

Basically I dont want to risk tripping knox counter, who knows what will happen in a year with my device.

But I really do want root, but not at the price of voiding my warranty.

TL;DR

I'll stay at 4.3 for the moment and wait until there's a method to root on 4.4.2 without tripping knox.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Actually. I have no complaints for 4.4. You can re-enable SD card writing for third party apps, NO FC's if you don't do something the system doesn't want you to do (TB/dirty flash) [clear cache]. The speed is much better, it's like comparing Windows 7 and Windows 8, but Windows 8 is more optimized to be much faster than Windows 7. Even though they're both great OS'es, the memory management has been drastically improved.

I have many complaints about 4.3, including delay wake/sleep, sporadic hangs and memory leaking.

On 4.4, they fixed the problematic touchscreen bug (if existent, to up to 10 fingers), battery life is much better (40 hours standby time - no display, wifi on, autosync on), faster responses in app launching, faster boot up time, more RAM for heavier background apps and all apps available on the Play Store for me works on 4.4 (Around 400 apps downloaded).

Con: You need root to re-enable SD card writing for now, until Samsung fixes it with a later update: however, most apps by now have been updated for 4.4, so this shouldn't be needed anymore. Custom ROMs allow apps that don't support 4.4 to read/write to SD card, like osu!.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WandersonGD:
Well, my expirience with KK on note 3 is amazing... way better than JB. It corrected a lot os bugs, FC, HEAT, BATTERY DRAIN... of course still have some touchwiz's bugs, like index bug... but KK way way better than JB.

Absolutely no regrets...

Hi, i'm from Colombia, and I have this Sony Xperia E C1504, Rooted with SRSRoot, but my current firmware is 11.3.A.0.56, and i find this http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/general/how-to-xperia-e-c1505-firmware-11-3-2-t2435957 (Firmware 11.3.A.2.23), I have some questions, i'm sorry i'm newbie here, doing this, the only thing i flashed was an old tablet with 2.3.3GBread.

1. Will this firmware work for me? ( i have C1504 and it says C1505, also, im From Colombia, does it matter?

2. My phone is rooted, do i need to flash the kernel when i move (if i can) to 2.23 in order to root like is shown?

Ty for your time, i just had to ask :(
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Okay, firstly, there isn't any firmware with build number 11.3.A.0.56 - I'm taking it you have 0.47 instead of 0.56.

Sure, you can install it - I have a C1504 too, and I think it is safe to say that you can use any Xperia E firmware - even the Xperia E dual ones (C1604 or C1605).
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] leokook:
and about root?

Sir, thank you, i have one more question. My phone is rooted with this current firmware, in order to root the 2.23 Firmware here's how to do it:

1. Flash kernel 11.3.A.0.47

2. Root your XE using Framaroot. (Gandalf exploit)

3. Flash kernel 11.3.A.2.23

But, since i've my phone rooted, do i need to follow the steps above?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
nope ....did you unlock bootloader/??/
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] leokook:
No sir

I haven't unlock the bootloader, but i know i can do it (view SS) and Sony support that idea, i know i need it if i want to flash kernel, but do i need it to flash firmware, no, right?

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Okay... I didn't even know that we had a 0.56 firmware....

[MENTION=5688208]XperiaEss[/MENTION] Unlocked bootloader and fastboot aren't needed to flash FTF files; only flash mode is required for that, and flash mode works on locked bootloaders too.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
yessss...exactly....but can it be flashed through CWM?? (img,elf,sin)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] leokook:
So, can i do it, right? Flash that firmware to update it, i've used titanium backup, and everything is now in mi SD.

But, in order to root? do i need to flash kernel? is that the only way ?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
[MENTION=3192065]leolook[/MENTION] Yeah, sorry we took it a bit off-topic. If you mean you want to upgrade to 2.23, downgrade to 0.47 kernel, use Framaroot and then upgrade to 2.23 kernel again - sure, no problems. LOng as you have a Titanium backup or Nandroid, you're fine.

[MENTION=5688208]XperiaEss[/MENTION] Those can be flashed via fastboot, which needs an unlocked bootloader (unfortunately).
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Grimlock007:
[MENTION=5129084]NSDCars5[/MENTION]

so.... boot.img in roms work with flashing with CWM

but seperate boot.img files has to be flashed through fastboot?

if i put a boot.img in a zip wii it cwm flash?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] NSDCars5:
Probably, but you also need to modify the updater-script (in META-INF/com/google/android) to extract the file. The line will read something like:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");

(This one was from jjm34's CM10.)

does code remain the same for all boot.img's ??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Deleted member 5439257:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Goldry:
Here's the issue:

I have a Spectec card (SDW-821, very good 802.11g BTW) and I'm running TofClock's 2.01a.64WWE. The problem is that manually inserting and removing the card seems to confuse the OS, so the WiFi icon will show when there's no card in place, and vice versa. When this happens there's no chance of getting a connection. Since this is WM5, Spectec don't have a control program for the card so I have to soft reboot a lot.

I've tried every trick I know to get the removal/reinsertion to work (including suspending the Himalaya before touching the card) but nothing works reliably. I've tried Spectec too but with no success.

Evidently either the driver or the OS is getting something wrong, so I thought I'd ask my question - does anyone know (or can write) software that will reset the card and/or OS so I don't have to soft reboot my machine every time I want to use WiFi? It would be even better if this wasn't hardware-specific and would work for any card that had a WM5 driver.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] roostaar:
I have one of these cards arriving tomorrow (cant wait!) but I'm runninf the 2.03a beta rom. Hopefully it will work better with this rom.
