I'm currently on 4.3

and yes it worked the exact same way last time...I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong this time...

I'm not able to post the url to the site that I used last time to root my phone....maybe if I space it out lol

www . android . gs / root-install-twrp-recovery-canada-galaxy-note-3-n900w8/

but yeah it worked perfectly fine when I did it last month
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Try using cf auto root which you can find in the original android Dev section ( make sure you download the one for 4.3 ). If you're not successful in using Twrp, try Cwm as custom recovery ( although I'm using Twrp on 4.4 right now ).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulkSmash316:
alright so I tried again

in ODIN mode this is what I see

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900W8

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

REACTIVATION LOCK: ON

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X1

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)

and this appears after the flash fails

SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Ouch, you tripped your KNOX. Okay no worries. You're currently on 4.3 bootloader, and if you're trying to flash the 4.4.2 firmware - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2614772

I suggest you do that first.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulkSmash316:
Yeah I rooted my phone a month ago and tripped knox

I'm not upset about it or anything...

Thanks for the help, I'll give what you suggested a shot right now and will reply with the results
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
You have to turn off reactivation lock then flash again. It can be found in the security settings.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulkSmash316:
I have to turn off reactivation lock and flash again?

I already did step 1 of what nicholaschum suggested I do, and I have 4.4.2 installed now.

Before going through the setup process of setting up my phone, I went to root it immediately, but I got hte same failure I've been getting...

I assumed it's because I have to enable USB debugging...so I setup my phone...has me enter my login/password for my phone becuase of reactivation lock...confirm 4.4.2 is installed....enable dev mode.....check usb debugging....

So before I do anything further I just want to get confirmation....after checking reactivation lock in security settings (for some reason it wasn't checked just now when I looked even though I had to login with the info when I first booted the phone after flashing to 4.4.2)

do I flash 4.4.2 again and continue with what nicholaschum said to do?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
You can continue what you are doing just make sure it says off when you are in download mode.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

I think as long as reactivation lock is on in download mode you won't get root or flash custom recovery.

Hey guys

I now have a rooted Note 3 running Kitkat 4.4.2

Huge thank you to you both of you who helped me this evening.

Now my biggest problem is trying to figure out what rom I want to install.

What would you guys recommend? The only ones I know are Jedi......xnote and wicked.

Basically don't want an bloatware that comes stock with Samsung devices lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
I personally use vision x n3 from the tmobile section as it comes stock and just add my own customization courtesy of xposed installer. Having said that, each of us has their own preferences so read the features that appeal to you and take that rim for a spin. Some roms though need a fix for bt, wifi and nfc along with a kernel that supports them in order to function especially those based on n9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulkSmash316:
So the roms that are compatible for our N900W8 are for the n9005?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
I think every rom made for a note 3 snapdragon ( N9005, N900T, N900A, etc..) will work on our N900W8 except as i mentioned, the wifi,bt and nfc which will need a fix. I found that only AT&T and Tmobile roms don't need a fix for wifi,bt and nfc, They work right off the bat. Problem is there's not many 4.4 based rom from them because of their locked bootloader. If you're still looking for a good rom to try, give Knoxraid 3.5 a spin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Check out the Canadian Galaxy Note 3 Users thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2464292

I personally use X-Note 10. But you can use ANY N9005 ROM provided you DON'T INSTALL KERNEL AND BOOT WITH IT. Follow this guide here to run custom ROMs on 4.4.2. Skip to Part Three. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2614772

I am running stock rooted 4.4.2 and it seems that after the phone has been on for a few hours the camera will suddenly stop working. A reboot fixed the error but it can be annoying when you need to take a picture. Any thoughts on the issue or possible fixes? Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salemwoods:
Qcamera-daemon isn't even on the list.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varuntis1993:
As per I know its a known bug and many users are affected by it, I think it happens because some app is using ur camera in the background.

Try to restart ur phone in safe mode and see.

To start ur phone in safe mode get to the power menu and then long press the power off and then ok.

Is your camera working right now?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salemwoods:
Alright I'll try putting it in safe mode. And yes it's still working right now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varuntis1993:
I think that is why qcamera-deamon is not on the battery stats also your battery stats have resettled.

when next time this occurs, try at that time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salemwoods:
Alright I'll try it next time. Thanks for your help.

[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
I'm having problem with data connection on my HTC One Max Verizon. I'm trying to investigate further for this problem. One big mistake i made was not backing up the origin ( stock ) ROM since day 1 when I 1st purchased this phone but came to the point of running rumrunner and flash custom ROM straight away ( I'm pretty much very confident with android, but still STUPID ).

I'm requesting a full NAND backup with all of the partitions ( of course no IMEI or personal data partition ) so that I can try to restore the Verizon stock Pre-programmed settings into my phone for further investigation.

Please help me! Thank you so much!

This will fit hand in hand with your other thread. I will give you one better and what you really need. The ruu for this phone. I will pm you it shortly. When you download the file simply place it on your physical sd card and go back to boot loader. Let the process run twice
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
I love you man, thank you so much :) ! Is this stock RUU encrypted or decrypted ?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Encrypted
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
I've got some failed to flash partitions here on the attached image. Please help!
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Why not flash it through boot loader from your sd?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Lemme try that :)
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
I don't quite know those partitions and their functions :)
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Well let me know what happens through boodloader. You have to reboot it after the first part and let it go a second time to get all.
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Ummm.... I'm not quite sure how to flash it via Hboot. Never done that before. Please en-light me
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Copy the file exactly as I sent it to you to your physical sd card. Place it in the phone. Boot to boot loader. The place where you posted a picture of it failing to find an image will now find one. You will be asked to update. You use the power button to hit enter.
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Hmmh, it doesnt alow me to flash. Still the same as Picture above. Perhaps I neeed to disable the fastboot option in Power as well ?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Give me the name of the file as it shows on your sd. With the file extension
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
The file name is : 0P3PIMG.zip
[HTC One Max] dottat:
And it's on your external sd?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
No, its on my Internal SD card.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
The slot in the upper left hand corner like where mine is?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
So where should i put it ? Phone storage or my SD-Card ?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Sd. Phone storage will be wiped by ruu so it won't allow ruu to be run from there.
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Thank you thank you lemme try again
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Remember. The first time will be short. Second time it will do more flashing than the first.
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Its running now. I'll keep you posted!
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
1st Run is still long to finish :) it just start to flash straight away. Let see how it goes
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Nad after 1st run... i think its the same via fastboot
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Try a second run now
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
It doesnt allow me to go to bootloader but go straight to system startup :(
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Well before we go any further can you see if the phone behaves better?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Its still the same As it was before Sir, No data connection at all. :(
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
As you can see from the pic above, the SBL1 wasn't flash properly i think. I guess thats why phone can't go to a complete stock
[HTC One Max] dottat:
There's some guys on the regular one that had that error while converting to gpe but their phones were fine.
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
This is so frustrating :(
[HTC One Max] dottat:
[MENTION=3437245]scotty1223[/MENTION] you around still?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Amazingly, for those fail SBL1 to flash, my phone APN setting was exactly the same as before. That means those SBL1 partitions responsible for the factory pre-configured settings from Verizon. My phone APN wasn;t changed to default Verizon setting AT ALL :( Damn u HTC and Verizon!
[HTC One Max] dottat:
So what apns show right now?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Its my carrier ( Vinaphone ) APN settings that I configured manually before flashing the RUU :mad: and on a custom ROM ( Dragon ROM ) . Wow! It is supposed to go back to Verizon default carrier
[HTC One Max] dottat:
So this?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Yes Sir, that's what it is! The pre-config settings from Verizon was not be able to stick.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
And you want vzw in there or you just want data?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
I want data to be back on my phone. However, in order for the settings of Verizon to be back, it needs to restore Verizon NV settings from phone 1st. I'm doing a factory reset from stock recovery. Its saying restoring Verizon NV!
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Ok. That was my next suggestion. If that doesn't work we could always try a root apn backup/restore app
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
My phone from day 1 working fine with data connection ( with Vinaphone Simcard ) then suddenly no data connection at all ( switch from flight mode then phone mode again, thats when I was on ViperROM for Verizon ). Now it wont allow me to flash back to complete stock and this is strange. With an encrypted RUU, it is supposed to go back to complete stock with all partitions updated. In my case, SBL1 partitions was partially formatted and updated.... hmmmm
[HTC One Max] dottat:
So I wonder if it wouldn't bypass those partitions if you were back on a vzw cid

You are currently supercid
[HTC One Max] dottat:
There are market apps that can be used to backup and restore apns.
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Before flashing Verizon encrypted RUU, I changed my CID back to Verzion ( VZW__001 ). I think i'm doing it right ?
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
what is the name of that app ? I might try that and see how it goes.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Haha yes you did.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

This one requires installing it and then using titanium backup to change this app to a system app which will then allow read/write access to your apn.

Please provide the name, i'll try that too

Scroll further down than you were in your last screen shot and show me the rest
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
The culprit should be the partial partitions update for SBL 1
[HTC One Max] dottat:
I pinged Scotty1223 for ideas on that one.
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
I appreciate your helping man :) this is one of the best trouble shooting session I've ever had!
[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
Maybe extract stock SBL1 partitions images and flash via CMD with fastboot ? What do you think ?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
That apn backup app isn't working for me likely because of write protection of it. (Even though they listed the system app bit as a workaround).

[HTC One Max] leoaudio13:
I've noticed a very weird thing : After flashing stock ROM, normally if you enable USB debug in android, it will ask for RSA key authentication before attempting to connect with computer, but my device connected straight away without any RSA key request from phone.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazykidguy:
So I've dropped my Nexus 5 twice on concrete by accident. The first time it cracked the camera glass and the second time, half of the back cover clips popped off but I just pushed them back in. So in my attempt to DIY fix the cracked camera glass and replace it, I tried popping off the back cover (with proper plastic tools). But I couldn't get the clip under the SIM tray and the volume rockers so I gave up. But now, recently I can't get any signal when I'm inside a building and the signal when I'm outside fluctuates from full bar + LTE to no service to emergency calls only. I thought it might have been my SIM card so I went to T-Mobile to get another SIM which worked fine for like 10 minutes until the same problem came up again. So now I'm thinking could I have damaged the SIM reader in the phone or an antenna?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
More than likely the back cover is no longer making good contact with the body of the phone. Try applying slight pressure at the back on the top third of the phone and see if that helps.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comrade1809:
What? No.... My situation had nothing to do at all with the speaker or any other portion of the phone aside from the antenna wire.

If you open up the back of the phone, on the right side of the battery, there is a small wire that runs along there and connects just to the right top side of where the battery ends. It is covered by a small black plastic piece that is supposed to stop it from coming off. I accidentally disconnected that wire with the tool I used to open the back of the phone. After reconnecting it to it's proper place, my signal came back without further issues.

I attached a picture with a red arrow pointing to where the antenna is connected. If it's loose, I would suggest reconnecting it and checking your signal again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comrade1809:
If you're really good at soldering you could give it a try. Otherwise I'd try and play the warranty card. I don't think there's a replacement part just for that, like there is one for the speaker or the camera. I may be wrong though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bienemaya:
similar problem

I bought a used Nexus 5 which suffered water damage as I later found out. The seller told me, that he used the phone until I bought it. Now when I want to use the phone with my sim, which is a new one, I have a very weak signal. I lose it most of the time. When I use the phone with a sim from another carrier (the same like the seller used) it's working fine. The phone also works with a third carrier but not with the one I want to use. There is also another phenomenon: when I take of the back cover, the signal becomes much stronger, still not good but much better. The sim is ok, because I use it now with my old phone and have no problems with the connection. Has anyone an idea where the problem could be?

I’m thankful for any help.

Excellent signal after reconnecting antenna

Thanks for the tip! I dropped my phone some weeks ago and since than I got bad reception, usually only EDGE and only outdoors but not really reliable. I had the chance to test my sim card in my friend's phone and with that I got excellent connection (40Mbps). I tryed factory reset but it did not help.

Solution:

After removing the plastic cover above the battery with a phillips #00 screwdriver I found that the antennas were not properly connected (the black and the white cables). I snapped them back to place, and after that my phone was able to connect to LTE.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briandresstoyota:
I am super interested in this topic. I actually have a nexus 5(which has since been replaced by another nexus 5) that got some water damage on it from being in my clothes when they were hosed down. everything on the phone works, wifi, gps, speakers etc except cell signal. I get it sometimes for barely a second and then it is gone again. My thinking here is that my antenna is shot.

Anyone ever find out if this is a part that can be replaced? Would love to have two working nexus 5's just in case I need one as a back up or something.

Oh well! a bit over a year ago I stopped getting LTE and H from my carrier, tried everything and nothing worked, I guessed it was a factory defect and surrendered because I imported the device and couldn't send it thru warranty. I tried another carrier SIM and it did get at least H (no LTE however) so I switched to that carrier cause i wasnt gonna live with EDGE only, and I've been living like that for 14 months until now that I stumbled upon this thread, opened my N5, found out that same right cable antenna was not well connected, put it back where it belongs, now im getting full LTE, and I wanna kill myself! If I had noticed this before I wouldn't have had to go thru the mess of switching carriers and having to pay a more expensive plan! LMAO either way THANKS! Finally back on LTE !!!
