[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcarrmole:
The simplest place to start is a root checker app (just stick root checker into play store). If it says that you don't have root then you don't simple as that. In which case use CF-AutoRoot program on your pc which will flash both a Custom Recovery (clockworkmod) as well as root... after that, the world is your oyster...

The root checking app is the simplest way to check if you have root though if you're new to stuff like this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusade:
i'm not sure if its a custom recovery or a stock one, will have to check.. will check and report back by monday.. will also try what [MENTION=3767226]pjcarrmole[/MENTION] said... thanks both of you.. will report back..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
I am sure you were using stock, based on the OP. Get the custom and have a go. If you flash auto root it will give you stock recovery. You need to check philz or cwm threads for the odin flashables.

1. Nandroid backup

2. Never ever format internal and external card

3. You can play around without worrying any data lost as long as you don't do point 2

Here I'd shortcut , using titanium backup or something similar to backup your apps and contacts and something you concern to be important

Install new ROM, of course remember wipe, and then use titanium backup to restore the apps and data , there you go, with new system

HI!

[General Topics] Woodalia:
ok, here's my latest query to experts.

the above card using 8 bit data transfer mode appears to offer some seriously insane transfer rates.

my questions are: (directed to BA owners although i suspect many would find this useful)

1. does the BA support 8 bit mode and if so do i need a tweak to do so?

2. does the BA have the 13 pin connection for mmc plus?

my ASSumption is that given the date of production for a BA it would not support MMC "plus" at max transfer if there aren't 13 pins connecting.

lastly, given that all high speed cards are quoting data transfer rates based on highest bit mode possible. if the BA does not support MMC plus would it support 4 bit mode on SD cards?

anyone with experience in this area please advise.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewBL:
Having been an AT&T customer for over 10 years now, I wanted to take my recently purchased Galaxy Note 3 on a trip to Europe, therefore, I wanted to unlock it. I called AT&T and was told (basically) that my phone can't be unlocked except after the 2 year contract period expires. Oh yeah! Forget AT&T...I'm on my own. Anyone have ideas on how to do an unlock on an AT&T Note 3 reliably?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lildoggs:
You can try region lock away by chainfire. You have to be rooted for it to work. Good luck. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
I agree with the OP. I do not believe that carriers should have any influence or say so when it comes to phones. Why do they need to control them? Like with updates for example. What a nightmare. Why does phone phone have to be locked to them. I'm paying them for service only. UGH.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testrak:
Chainfire's unlock works on M19 build and baseband. If you are on MJ5, you need to restore with a M19 build / MJ5 baseband and then root, then apply the unlock.

If you don't want to root, the only option is to purchase unlock code.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman7793:
Your not paying just for just service. When you get the phone on 2 year plan every month you paying a payment on that phone every month. That's why your bill so high. People don't realize it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techjunkie702:
If you don't want to have to worry about any of that then buy the phone out right and don't do a 2 year contract it like buy a car on credit you don't fully own it till you pay it off. On top of that if you don't like waiting for updates and stuff buy an unlocked Un carrier branded phone and get the update when they come out.

Like you I was so mad when AT&T told me they no longer provide unlock codes. Once my contract expires I am done with them.

Hope this helps. Cheers.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
Just pay one of the many websites out there $30ish to get an unlock code based on the IMEI number. I did it with my AT&T N3 within a week of buying it and it works great Internationally.

I understand it costs money and people assume it should be free but it's a minimal amount of money not to have to deal with AT&T's bone head customer service.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawkhell:
All carriers are like this from my experience. Keeping the phone locked is the only form of inconvenience they can put on people who do not want to honor their contracts and steal the phone. I called AT&T 2 months after I got my Note 3 on contract to unlock and they told me the buy-out price was 198.00.

Hi all,

I updated to 4.4.2 last night on my unlocked dev edition VZW Moto X. I am in San Francisco's Financial District, prior to the 4.4.2 update I was getting 20mbps down while indoors and 60mbps while outdoors on LTE. Ever since updating, my LTE speeds have been terrible: under 1mbps down and up. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
[Moto X Q&A] _slam:
I have the same issue; I thought it was because I installed Xposed framework (it didn't take couldn't use the modules; GEL settings) so I uninstalled and flashed back back to 4.4 to get a clean image. Got the 4.4.2 update again and I was still having radio issue or slow speeds. But when I cleared the cache data in storage; that worked but for a bit, but it slowed down again but clearing seems to work when it was slow.

I think VZW is throttling bandwidth, maybe?? But with the FCC Speed test app before 4.4.2 update download 22Mbps vs. after 8Mbps in Washington DC metro area

Check that; tried it twice and getting 6Mbps and 5Mbps

[HTC Sensation] MAsterokki:
I decided to update my Dev unlocked Sensation to ICS, but had forgotten it was probably still on a Gingerbread radio. Now I have no working rom, and for some reason I am unable to flash the original rom (RUU) via the SD card method (PG58IMG).

My CID is HTC__E11 and therefor european roms from RUU should work, but I get the following error message when trying the sd card flash: wrong zipped image. In other cases it wont go further than parsing.

When i try to flash the RUU in ruu mode on the phone I get the following error: 99 unknown fail.

Unfortunately I cannot go back to the rom I was on before, since I dont have it anymore.

So the only thing I have now is TWRP recovery 2.6.3 and unlocked HBOOT 1.27.

Furthermore I am unable to see what my current radio firmware is. I want to flash a jellybean rom.

Does anyone know what to do?
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
ok would i be correct in thinking that you are s-on? how exactly did you upgrade from gingerbread to ics and have you tried formatting all partitions from twrp?
[HTC Sensation] MAsterokki:
Yes I am S-ON. I did try formatting all partitions from twrp, that didnt help. I also tried cwm, but that didnt help either.

My radio was finally displayed by HBOOT, it is: 11.29A.3504.18_M. I believe this is a ICS radio, so there should be no problem here. Unfortunately i cannot find the RUU that corresponds to that radio and trying to flash another ruu wont work.

To go to ICS I just installed the latest CM11 from Sultan, which works on my other sensation (which is S-OFF). I have also tried other roms, but they all wont boot for some weird reason. For every rom I do a full wipe.
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
If your s-on you need to flash the boot.IMG of your rom from fastboot straight after flashing your rom from recovery pal. But I recommend installing 4ext recovery and enabling its "smart flash" feature and this will do it for you :) try this and check back pal.
[HTC Sensation] MAsterokki:
Lol I have been doing this for so long with a S-OFF device that I totally forgot about that! Thank you so much, sorry for my stupidity haha. Still weird that I cannot flash RUU though...

Its cool pal :) it is, but then again ruus won't flash unless your bootloader is relocked :cool:

TIA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Best to stay FAT if you format to FAT32 your device may not recognize your card. If you ever do format it - do it on the device using storage tools or sktools.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] iclick:
I've used only one of my two 1gb mini-SD's to hold PocketMusic program files and MP3's. I think it was formatted FAT to begin with, but I was unable to copy more than 400mb to the card until I reformatted it to FAT32. It then loaded up with MP3's and there have been no problems. I did the formatting on the PC, not the MDA.

Any card >2gb will require FAT32 formatting, as 2gb is the limit for FAT16.

Hi,

I just recieved my Note 3 this morning :D, but have a few questions about rooting on it...

Not sure what information is required, but my phone is on Android 4.3 and its a SM-N9005.

I don't really have any plans about installing custom roms as such, but I do want it to be rooted and I want to stick to official samsung firmware. (At least for now, it may change in the long term future). I'm wanting to update to KitKat too (When its available in the UK anyway, doesn't seem to be out here yet anyway)

I'm pretty scared about this Knox flag I'm hearing about too... Not so sure about it, but I hear its essentially makes your warranty void, which I don't want this early in.

Anyone have any advice for me based on this?

Ah thanks for that. Was reading up on it but couldn't see something as detailed as this.

I'm guessing its saying I can't root without tripping the Knox yet... which is a bummer...

My Baseband ends in MJ7

My build number ends in MK2

Does this mean I can't root at all without tripping the knox yet?

If so is there any sort of...development in this area?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
No and no.

If you are worried about knox, then don't root, yet.

But as far as I know, under European laws, Samsung cannot refute warranty even if your knox is tripped.

Read around. Or ask other people from Europe about this. [MENTION=5544531]radicalisto[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Fraid not, only way you can root is by tripping KNOX. Now the way Europe handles KNOX warranty is a massive grey area, if you encounter Hardware issues it'll probably get fixed, but don't take that as solid.

My advice, stick with stock for 2-4 weeks, see if you have any HW issues, if not go ahead and trip it only if you want root and/or custom ROMs.

Do a ton of reading in the couple of weeks while you're waiting and look at the issues and risks

I spent weeks and couple hundred dollars looking for a solution for the bootloader lock on my OTA 4.3 Verizon Note 2. i heard about the site called MobileTechVideos. I emailed and asked questions, Josh was very responsive and said they could do it. So i sent the phone to them....1 week later (today) I get a call from Josh saying all is well and I am downgraded successfully and it would ship out today. i can't say enough about MobileTechVideos, and their site is packed with info and videos. check them out!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guitari:
But Young Jedi...

I have spent a vast amount of research and hands on technical work on downgrading

From: VRUEMJ9 4.3

To: VRALJB 4.1.1

And it possible. The problem isn't downgrading the ROM, it's the bootloader, it consistently stays at a 4.3 Bootloader while the ROM is at 4.1.1. Your post looks more like a promotion/advertisement, therefore I ask you OneFast50, can MobileTechVideos:

1) Downgrade the bootloader

2) Unlock the bootloader

3) Load a custom recovery (CWM, Philz, TWRP).......

4) Furthermore installing a custom rom?

If Josh at MobileTechVideos can accomplish all this, then Josh and his peeps are gurus and I will happily send them my phone, tuck my tail between my legs, and hats off to them! Taking it a step further, this is what fellow techies really want: If we could please get a technical post by Josh@MobileTechVideos here on XDA describing the process that him and his team used to perform the four requirements above. This would be the most beneficial post that the rest of the Note II SCH-I605 4.3 community could really appreciate. Awaiting a follow up OneFast50

Yes that's the service they offer and obviously they aren't going to post how to do it or they would lose business
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] connexion2005:
We are the only source I am aware of for offering this downgrade. When you get your device back, it will arrive with stock 4.1.2 firmware, unlocked bootloader, root access and custom recovery. Everything you need for a custom rom flashing experience. 4.3 update got ya down? Get back your innocence by downgrading!

Technical aspects: This is NOT a DIY method as it involves removing and reprogramming the eMMC chip from the main board. Essentially, we are removing the eMMC, uploading and the old bootloader with a proprietary programmer and then reinstalling the chip. I have received permission from Adam Outler to give a more thorough post about this procedure. The service is also live and can be found on our store (just Google us).
