After days of doing this and that, this finally worked for me to downgrade from Lollipop leak! Thank you for both of you! :good:

But the thing is, My original firmware is supposed to be from Australia or XSA, since this one is a German PIT, I installed it with the German DBT. As said, it works just fine. But I want to go back to the XSA one. I tried odin installing it the usual way and it again failed! And tried that XSA with a Open Eur Pit file I got from the Poland leak's CSC and it failed again. (May be Im supposed to concern its OPEN EUR and Australia is not EUROPE "daa", I honestly dont know)

So is there a way I can go back to the Australian XSA firmware? To install any firmware without using a pit file again?

Please Im in need of help, thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
Sorry, but I can't help :-\
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stallione:
No worries....

Looks like it has to do something with my recovery. Recovery mode shows me that I have a GNG1 recovery installed, which did not showed anything before. So now I only can install OSes which is compatible with GNG1 (which is the German ROM).

If I can reinstall a normal or default recovery or something like that, It will change it. Now, even if I install the Lollipop leak, still the recovery is this GNG1 thing.

Annoying.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jemis1983:
If you flash all the files of lollipop with Odin the recovery eill change also!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stallione:
Yes when I install the Lollipop leak, the recovery changes too, but when I downgrade to a stock kitkat, the recovery having issues... Honestly I dont know how to explain. When I revert back to the German Rom (stock DBT) "with a PIT file" it works fine. But I tried the same with the Australian XSA, it fails at odin. (invalid ext4 file) I even extracted the Recovery from the Aus ROM and installed it separately using Odin. The stock Aus recovery installs fine, but when then I try to install the Aus rom, it still doesnt work. "And even to try, I cant find an XSA PIT.

Plus, now my recovery shows the Build number when In recovery. like shown below.

"Look under Android System Recovery <3e>"

[IMG="With Build Number"]http://cdn.webcazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/note3_android_system_recovery_20140225.jpg?7b4e15[/IMG]

And it was like this before, I think as its supposed to be...

[IMG="Normal Recovery"]http://cdn.teamandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Galaxy-S4-Recovery-Mode-2-600x337.jpg[/IMG]

(These images are NOT Mine, just to make clear)

It wasnt there before installing the Lollipop update, but now no matter what Rom I install, its there. What does that supposed to mean? Why is it not normal? Coz I feel that also has something to do with my problem.

And my Knox is still intact 0x0
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
I tried flashing Android 5.0 and got the same problem, I'm about to flash the stock ROM and the PIT file when I had a thought- What if I simply flashed Lollipop with the PIT file, rather than downgrading?

In addition, I've been reading from various places that the problem is Odin 3.09 (which I used), and that the 32GB Note 3 (which I have, SM-9005) should have had "RePartition" selected in the first place. I used Odin 3.09 initially but for downgrading I'm going to use Odin 3.07. When I try again with Lollipop, which should I use? Should I even bother trying again, having had a close call like this? I got the Lollipop ROM from SamMobile, and they specifically say not to select Re-Partition.

Edit: So I downgraded to KitKat, then flashed Lollipop again, this time WITH the PIT file AND selecting "Re-Partition". Everything went off without a hitch.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
So it did work or not ? what do you mean by "went off" ?? So my phone was bought from France,it came with SFR software,4,.3 and I did try to flash android 5.0 from Romania and it just keeps on failing at the very same step ,after writing hidden.img.ext4 .My model is also 32gb. What should I do ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
By "went off without a hitch", I mean it worked with no problems. I don't know what you mean by "SFR software". Also when you say it keeps on failing, does that mean you have tried it multiple times? When it happened to me, this is what I did:

I stopped everything and unplugged the phone.

I then downloaded the latest Android 4.4.2 firmware from Sammobile, and flashed that using Odin 3.07.

When the phone rebooted, I got stuck in a bootloop

I then pulled the battery and booted into recovery.

I then wiped the cache and factory reset.

I then flashed the Android 5.0 software I had previously gotten, WITH the PIT file, AND selecting repartition.

And then everything worked. My phone model is SM-N9005, so... yeah. I don't think downgrading was necessary, but I did it anyway because I wanted to start with a working phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
France (SFR) from sammobile firmware select...when you select the country for the software.So I am now downloading the 4.4.2 SFR firmware,hope it will work.Can you please tell me for what country did you flash the file? also what PIT file did you use?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
I flashed the UK Android 5.0. To downgrade I used the non-carrier branded Android 4.4.2 (also for the UK). The PIT file I used is the one Wrathlon posted in page 1 of the thread

Also I forgot to mention, when I was flashing Android 5.0, I used Odin 3.09
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
So I think I will try to flash android 5 with the pit file from the start,now my phone doesn't even enter in recovery,it's in the emergency mode : "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in kies and try again". Damn

btw : should i tick Re-Partition? or just use the pit whitout repartition??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
If you downgrade first, you will enter a bootloop but then you will be able to enter recovery and clear the cache and factory reset.

Whether you flash from how it is now, or after downgrading, you need to flash Android 5.0 with the PIT file and select "repartition". (For downgrading, you don't need to use the PIT file)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
it did PASS this time man !! thank you so much,flashed it without downgrade ! hope it will boot soon (booting now) did it take long to boot up??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
NICE! I had a feeling downgrading first was not necessary, but I was afraid of bricking it lol. It should be fine, mine took a long time to boot, but it got there eventually.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
Didn't wipe anthing btw.Should I go to recovery and wipe things up and after that try again for it to boot?

It DID BOOT !! for god's sake it did boot finally ! Thank you so much man !
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
Well, it's up to you but I would. I flashed from a downgrade, so I didn't need to, but you flashed from a soft brick, you know? So it might be worth wiping the cache and doing a factory reset from recovery.

And even in mine, I did a factory reset (but from the phone menu, not from recovery)

Hey you're welcome!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
So it seems to be a problem here, I activated data and the little H+ sign appears on the status bar but the internet is not working .It could be modem related? I have no problem calling someone or reciving calls or texts.Also wifi is working great.I tried switching the network mode and the acces points but none seems to work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
I have no idea why it's not working, especially if you're able to make/receive calls and texts, and wifi is also working. Did you do a factory reset? Maybe that will fix it. And if you've already tried switching network mode and access points then I don't know what else to try.

For me Google now didn't work, even after factory reset- It said "check network connections" even though everything else was working. It may be a problem with Android 5.0. If you can, try putting another sim card in the phone and see if that one can connect to the internet
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
So i tried putting another sim and it works,so the problem is from the sim probably.Thanks again mate!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesmorino:
You're welcome! With the first sim, if you call the carrier they should be able to send you configuration details for their network, via text message. Usually when you flash or factory reset you don't need to, but I guess because the phone soft bricked the settings were lost.

Thank God it took me out of system failed process and brick

i had the aus n9005 i guess and dont know why it took me to dark screen when i rooted and flashed the rom when i restarted my phone. i spent like 10 hours solving the problem. just now i followed the instructions and flashed the poland rom 5.0 with the PIT provided.

atlast the phone has come out of the mess but it is at samsung logo for the past few minutes i guess i would give it some more time to go further before i do anything else...

This is what i did... poland 5.0 + PIT + odin 3.10.6

i hope it goes out of it.

can someone help with same problem but for Galaxy S5

I'm also having this problem but I am trying to go from BTU BOC7 version (which is the only 900F version that i could flash successfully with Odin 3.9 / 3.10 after bnl9 stock rom flash failed) to the EE carrier version as this is the only version that allows wifi calling but the flash stops at hidden.img.ext4 as above and Odin reports the flash as FAIL. Knoxx is showing 0X1 (2). I've tried to PIT using Odin (according to xda and several other posts this seems to be the only way) and that didn't work either. My reactivation lock is off and usb debugging in devoloper options is on.

Any advice PLEASE
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Did you actually turn off the phone and remove the battery for a while before starting into DL mode? Restarting via menu into DL mode doesn't allow flashing of things like BL and Modem, so maybe your problems are to do with not doing a hard restart?

If you removed all the HTC Sense software, you in essence removed the ability to edit the shortcuts on your lockscreen. Thats why I always keep HTC Sense launcher installed and if I use Nova or Apex, I can still edit and modify the lockscreen. Hoped that helped!

Hi there!

Recently i wrote my first game for Google Play, it called Kitty Brain Box.

I love cats, and my first game is with cats ^^ Grumpy cat, Colonel Meow and others they are so cute!

The game is very simple, it contains 3 mini-games for memory training:

- Doubles

- Extra

- N-back

If you download it and leave feedback here i would be very appreciated.

Hello

I tried the game today, the quality is excellent no bugs or blocking issues. The game flow is nice. Test device Gnex stock 4.3

A couple of suggestions ( in my humble opinion):

- Change the game icon to something unique the yellow box doesn't seem quite appealing

- Add some sound effects, I didn't hear any on my device

- The end of level text is too small on my device (HD) (Restart Level etc.... )

- And for this thread, I suggest to follow the forum suggestion for the title, and maybe add a QR or link instead of having to copy paste the link of the app.

Hope it helps : )
[Android Apps and Games] ofteno:
Tried the game.

Its fun and challenging :)

On a nexus 5 4.4.2

The sounds seems to be disabled, none was triggered

[Android Apps and Games] indie++:
Thanks for your feedback guys!

The game has only a few sounds: purring at the start of the game, the bell ringer at the end + sounds in the N-back game.

Sounds volume depends on multimedia volume on your phone. If you do not hear any sound, try to press the volume up button during the game starts or when you are plaing int the n-back, or try change the media volume on your phone (Settings->Sound->Volume->Media).

I would like to make more sounds but tried to stay within 16MB of memory to game was running stable on older phones too.

This is a nice game, however I would suggest that you make the graphics a bit better and make the UI more appealing.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Let's analyze! The first two striking qualities of the ISOCELL samples are: 1) eye popping wide dynamic range with rich colors, and 2) relative high noise and softness of the picture. I guess that's the tradeoff here.

Saturation is quite high yet not unrealistic, it simply looks to capture a wide color range, especially impressive in the Angry Birds photo inside. White balance is spot on. As far as Rich Tone (HDR) shots goes, it's pretty impressive as well, look how much more detail is presented without overprocessing the image. On the other hand, noise and softness is always present on these shots, even at low ISO, PureView and Exmor technology seems well ahead in per pixel sharpness. More to come.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pako7:
men.. you are sure that it photo's from SGS5 ? ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Yup. :good:

BTW, it appears that selective focus takes 4 photos or at least renders 4 photos, as samples played around with that setting have ~16MB size instead of the regular 4. So I guess the file can be shared and focus changed afterwards, wouldn't mind Google+ and other services allowing you to choose focus after upload.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pako7:
but why you delete all info? including EXIF.. It's not secret ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] yahyoh:
Again its not isocell ( probably they saving it for Note 4 or GS6 )

no new flash ( same old led flash )

indoors photos still look like oil paint -->> no OIS indoors and low light images will suck

overall i think it will be like most of Galaxy flagships : great images when there is enough light but when there is not the image will suck
[Galaxy S 5 General] matck:
I think it is ISOCELL technology, the photos on PhoneArena are really not bad at and higher 5s z1.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Skander1998:
They just started mass production for the 16MP ISOCELL sensor.

http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=34630

The article also mentions the new octa for the octa variant for the S5, also beginning mass production. :)

Samsung doesn't mention specific hardware specs anymore.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
4k video sample in dim light:

[YOUTUBE]FQVTBP9A76o[/YOUTUBE]

Because Samsung never EVER goes technical about sensor tech, check their track record, they don't.

It is a vastly different sensor to the Exmors however, closer to Samsung own's Galaxy Cameras (softness of image, noise), but far superior in color balance and dynamic range, which is exactly what ISOCELL is all about. Add that announcers did show off new camera HW features and Android Authority claims ISOCELL was confirmed to them, so it's almost certainly that tech.

So where do you get your information that it isn't?

Here is a 1080p video quality comparison with the HTC One M8. The S5 seems to do quite a good job in maintaining accurate colors while the M8 overexposes the video due to the sun light. Be the judge for yourself.

[Galaxy S 5 General] yahyoh:
the colors and contrast and exposure sucks on M8 + the EIS suck too

S5 have better colors better contrast , better exposure and way better EIS :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] gavinfabl:
I would have thought the S5 would win this hands down but I would give it marginally to the M8. However, 4K video mode is something else, and you can create 8mp still frames from the 4K video. So depends what your needs are.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Can you elaborate on why you feel the M8 does a better job? Unless im not seeing something correctly, the S5 has more accurate colors and doesnt overexpose like the M8 does.
[Galaxy S 5 General] starbase64:
s5 has a pink spot in the middle :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] gavinfabl:
Looks more natural colours and not as dark in places.
[Galaxy S 5 General] hung2900:
There must be a faulty with the camera. No reason for a constant pink spot in outdoor. Normally pink spot only happen in low-light condition and short focus.

If skipping the pink spot, S5 is better overall with the superior contrast, exposure and focus, color is better too.

I don't consider it's "dark", but EV is forced too high on M8 leading to low contrast and be washed out. You cannot say colours is more natural or not without a reference or doing the test by yourself. In my opinion, S5 is better in colour reproduction.

In 00:33s, moving from the floor to the street: no refocus on S5, exposure remains the same, the car looks much better. M8 took 8 seconds to refocus and adjust the exposure but quite overly so the scene is dark, then 3 secs for adjusting to the correct exporsure. However, the contrast is low and a little bit blown out. Look at the trees, a little bit burned.

In 01:12, pink spot is also detected in M8 (???). The scene is washed out again and a little bit blur (look at the car)
