I understand what you're saying, micmars, and I really appreciate your responding.

at this time, that is the only route - I was just curious that if the changes are broadband/modem based, and we flash the modem to update to NC5, why it wouldn't work.

When a rom is packaged and flashed, you wipe the system components and software from the phone - leaving it bare, just hardware (aside from the recovery that is) - so then you flash the system files back onto it, and then should be able (in theory) to run that package/software without issue if it has the corresponding modem/baseband, since they aren't included in a rom zip.

at least that was the case on most other devices, all Samsung, that I have owned or modded over the years. Though this is a different device and may have other requirements, I am aware of that, I'm just trying to figure out what that difference is that requires a full stock system update to do so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Yeah, kind of a pain, but if you look at the release trajectory of this phone, even intra-OS builds required full updates.

Folks whom tried sidestepping that reality (say MI5 to MJ4) found stuff was buggy and wondered why. I didn't own this phone until early November, but read this forum for a solid few weeks prior to buying it, and that was right in the midst of the above referenced update (I took mine at the store), but it was just chaos for folks that didn't do what I've described.

That stated, if it's not required, this is the thread of the dev whom will know.

How would I update to the latest NC5 from MD4? I am still on minin3.

Thanks.

Is there a flashable 380dpi zip that we can use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SanityBroken:
Download Build Prop Editor from Play Store, find the line that says "ro.sf.lcd_density", change the value from 480 to whatever you want, reboot. In Wanam, download and install "App Settings", the apps that I set back to 480 are: Animated Photo, Best Face, BurstShotEdit, Camera, Contacts (that's the important one to get your dialer right), Drama, Eraser,Gallery, Photo Editor,and my bank app. Change anything that doesn't look right back to 480. Hope this helps.

HELP!!!

When my phone boots up it reboots a million times before it gets to the system. how do I fix this? WHAT WRONG WITH MY PHONE!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I'm Unclear...

I'm unclear, but I assume you are running this ROM. If you are panicking (we've all been there), then the best you can do is remain calm.

Then, please tell us your setup, including that you are running this ROM, using any kernel-related features (clocking, voltage, &c). Your most likely swift route is to flash the stock kernel, but we need to know the aforementioned info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] twe90kid:
Just tried to flash over to this rom.

Getting the famous error during flash saying that the flash failed. I wiped the internal and everything else except ext sdcard.

How to fix?

Freeza, I love ur craft Bro... And I really appreciate & admire ur hard, endless work with putting out these ROMs, mods & everything else for this great phone!! Continue doing what u do!

Shout out to all the Devs & contributors for making this possible for us!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] david129:
To add to it its been doing the rebooting thing since I upgraded to 4.4.2.I have the kernel that comes with the rom. My software version says its on mj4,android version is 4.4.2,baseband is on mj4, kernal is 3.4 beastmode,oh and btw my 4g icon doesn't go away after I have on my wifi not even when I turn off mobile data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
You're on the wrong build. You need to be updated to stock KitKat NAB, then add recovery, before flashing this.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Look for the tar file posted by freeza on another thread, and follow the OP (copy internal memory to PC, factory reset your phone, flash stock tar from PC Odin after entering download mode from power off state, load tar in PDA slot in Odin, click start button, make sure device says official, if not, flash again, then flash recovery for 4.4.2 TouchWiz KitKat only, then flash this rom).

official?touch wiz recovery? but im already rooted? Can you send me a link please I cant find it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Use the thread linked below and follow the instructions in the OP. You'll need PC Odin, and ask that you download the file and read through the thread (it'll take a few for the file to download, so it'll be time well spent) to get some basics locked down (how to get official status, etc).

There are a few steps you'll also need to take, including copying your internal memory onto your PC, factory resetting your phone prior to flashing, etc.

Feel free to post over on that thread if you run into issues. And when posting, please use the mention feature, so I'll get an email.

Good luck!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JAG50:
Ok guys, time to do an honest talk. First of all, this is a top thread, mainly because we have one of the top android developers at the front. That's freeza for those of you that might not know. Second, you all need to realize that there are three, not one type of participants in this forum. First you have fellow developers like freeza that collaborate with him an impart knowledge to the the other two groups which are the intermediate and noobie users. Intermediate users like myself have been flashing, experimenting, and bricking phones for many years. Yet we are not developers because we really don't know the android source code enough to write and develop ROMs. We use them and do our best to support both financially and morally our finest developers. Noobies are just that; new to the ROM and the processes that you must master to survive in this environment.

Ok, here's my point. Just recently a new conversion came up taking about a new format (ND5 or something like that) for the 2.1 upgrade. This is great guys, but I bet you that most intermediate users and noobies don't have a clue what the developers are discussing. So all I'm asking is for everyone to be aware that there are many of us here that love and appreciate the product and the work that's being done here, but we don't want to be left in the dark. Please be nice and provide links and explanations that will educate us and help us better understand what's ahead for us. Thank you.

JAG50
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
OK, now you should be able to boot into the phone and start the device, etc. Confirm that you are able to do that, and show us the about phone screen. You should be completely stock with no root (you don't need to set up the device if you don't want to, since you plan on moving this forward).

Hey JAG50,

Thanks for making your request clear. I appreciate that. I haven't been too active on these forums (I was very active on the Galaxy S3 forums but am still "noobish" to knox and the Note 3), but I like to try to help others when I can.

The main issue I can see with providing links all of the time is that when I'm on mobile, it's actually quite difficult and time consuming to pull a link from another thread and paste it over to my current comment (if someone has a good, easy way to do this, please let me know). Because of this, I mainly reply from a computer.

If I see a reply that's vague or could benefit from some links, I try to clarify or provide links to the appropriate threads.

All-in-all, I think the "helper" guys here are doing a good job of informing people on how to do things. I know how tiring (and frustrating) it can be when answering the same question for the fifth time.

As far as the whole "NC5" thing, I'm not in-the-loop on it, but in doing some simple searching, I found the following:

NC5 is the

newest leaked version

of stock TW for the Note 3 (Sprint). Apparently it has Wifi Calling enabled, but when it's turned on, it might be a major battery drain (based on some of the posts).

Freeza has made a

KNOX-free version

of the rom. You can try it out and should still be able to come back to this ROM at any time.

The NC5 baseband/modem

is also available

. Baseband/modem flashings typically are independent of the ROM, so you could even use a MJ4 baseband with a NAB ROM. Flashing this while being on this ROM (NAB) shouldn't hurt anything (I've been running it for ~24 hours without any issues), but sometimes updated basebands don't work as well in certain areas, so YMMV (your mileage may vary).

The NC5 Engineered Bootloader

is also available

. To be completely honest, I don't know the benefits of being on an engineered bootloader, but I think it may allow you to flash modems from recovery and not have to use Odin (I could be way off on that, though).

Just to clarify, I knew nothing of NC5 about 30 minutes ago, but found all this information just by browsing the top posts related to NC5. So please, if any of my information is incorrect, please let me know!

Hope this summary of NC5 (with links) is enough of a primer on NC5 for you.

Ugh...

Ugh...everything looks right; some others in a few different threads are reporting PRL and Profile issues, and it might, just might, be tower related.

Having said that, you could try installing the calm kernel from freeza's kernel thread, second one down on this page.

It's quite possible that the kernel isn't playing nice, and you putting the calm kernel in there will give you a near-stock kernel and remain SELinux Permissive status.

Give this a shot and let us know how it goes. Flash the kernel from recovery, as an FYI.

OK I odin back to stock, took the update OTA and got on NC5

I was able to setup my Wifi Calling

I rooted with the international Cf Auto Root

http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip

Now If I understand correctly I need to wait for the New 2.1 release

I was on the Beta 5 and rage kernel but those were not NC5

I want to be clear I should not reinstall my previous beta or kernel because they are prior to my update to NC5

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rpenrod23:
You can reinstall Beta 5 if you so choose, it will still boot and function normally. What you will lose it the "new" features of NC5 (namely WiFi calling), which will not work if you reinstall Beta 5 because they are ONLY part of the NC5 update, not NAB, on which Beta 5 is built.

That being said, when 2.1 does drop, you'll already have updated your system (bootloader and baseband) to NC5 so you'll simply have to install 2.1 and you should be good to go.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] carnagecjb:
So, I've been moving the past week or so, and have pretty much been offline.

The addition of Wi-Fi calling sounds awesome.

However, moving sucks, and my free time is sorely lacking...

Having said that, I'm just going to go ahead and ask, it seems far more straightforward, and I'm probably not the only one wondering...

If I'm currently on 2.0b5, will I need to flash a stock image of the new release to get an updated bootloader / baseband / etc, or, once 2.1 is released, will I be able to just flash that, and get all the goodies?

I don't particularly mind, one way or the other, but, as I said, free time is at a premium currently, and I'd like to avoid making any unnecessary work for myself...

Thanks!

To help you, I need to know if you want to flash this ROM, or want to upgrade to NC5(D). Forgive me if I am cloudy on what you want, but I would rather ask than not.

From my recollection, you were on NAB DeOdex, and had problems flashing this ROM. Please refresh my memory as to the specifics and I can begin again...
