[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dalek_Caan:
As always a helpful voice of reason.

A question for you and anyone else that did this route before installing .. are you able to update profile/prl without device rebooting or is that still an issue? I was already on stockish after taking the nc5 ota so did not go this way and wanted to check before i redo everything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
I have to say you outdid yourself again [MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION], not having any issues and everything (nfc turns on but haven't tested for those wondering) is working great. WiFi calling is wonderful, especially since I only had one to two bars in certain areas in my home and shop. Very smooth and fast! If you ever leave T mobile you will always have a home here with Sprint ... but for now we will settle to be your "home away from home". Very glad you're here!

P.S. Sucks that you can't use this ROM, it is a masterpiece!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jose Reyes:
No luck on updating prl. I was on stock NC5 then rooted and push latest TWRP flash ROM. ROM runs great, however still can't update prl. Did the kernel update and no prl update. Also could not get Wi Fi calls to stay connected.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dalek_Caan:
ok thanks .. no big deal right now seems i am on the latest prl anyway .. have not tried a wifi call yet .. but still curious how i lost the toggle LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jose Reyes:
Are you using the kernel that came with the ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Yeppers, I am using BeastModeKernel-KitKat-1.2-RAGE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jose Reyes:
I'm going to give it another try later. My problem was reboot when trying to update prl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Let me check [MENTION=5107506]Jose Reyes[/MENTION], I didn't check PRL update because I was on the latest ... brb

Same as you, reboot on PRL update. Guess that is the only thing not working is PRL and Profile update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Never...

Never had one...on the base with and without root, and Stockish DeOdex...with and without stock kernel...or on this rom...but I others did have issues.

I will suggest that people can skip the stockish ROM and goe straight to this...but at least do the deed, flash recovery, reboot into stock, then make a backup, update your PRL and profile, then flash this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Is there something we could start looking into to get PRL/Profile to update properly so we can help out [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION]?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I think the best we can do is only go from stock, to backup in TWRP, to update PRL and profile, to this rom. If you can install aLogCat at that time, run the update PRL and profile again after you start the logcat program, and if it crashes, you'll have a record.

But it shouldn't be happening.

I think that all should be able to update PRL and profile from stock NC5D. If you do that and nothing else, then go straight to this rom, you should still be able to do it. The recommendation I would make is to go all the way to NC5D, not NC5....I don't know why, but think that it is the best path one could take.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Well I don't think it is kernel related, just flashed back to stock OTA, rooted and PRL and profile update fine. Before that I was on this ROM with BeastModeKernel-KitKat-1.2-RAGE installed and reboot on update PRL/Profile. Then I installed OTA stock kernel in place of BeastModeKernel-KitKat-1.2-RAGE on this ROM and still had reboot on update PRL/Profile. Right now sitting at stock rooted/ custom recovery getting ready to go back to ViSiON NC5. Just wanted to eliminated some troubleshooting so that's where I am now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Go All the Way to NC5D...

I suggest going all the way to NC5D prior to flashing this.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
By way of engineering bootloader? (that is the only way I have seen)

[MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], just to be certain, the tar file for the engineering bootloader goes into the PDA slot on Odin correct? Never did the engineering but I am sure it is the same ...

EDIT: Never mind, engineering bootloader is just NC5 ... going to look again

[MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], are you talking about by way of freeza's zip update from NC5 to NC5D? I can go back to stock recovery and do that if it is (I am on custom recovery and rooted now), just let me know

Will going back to stock recovery be good or do I need to go back to NAB and do NAB to NC5 first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Lol already in the middle of the other way ... at least I will be on NC5D now. I have been resetting and re-flashing off and on all day so I never got anything setup anyway ... today was play day for me :D

I will setup ViSiON-X and try PRL just for fun then (if needed) I will flash the hotspot removal. Thanks for that [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Just curious [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], on step 4.1 you say load TWRP file to PDA slot ... I have always loaded it to the Phone slot and it has always worked (it was the way I learned to do it), does that make a difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
PDA Slot...

I'm unclear, but most definitely does work in the PDA slot, so I'll retain that as PDA, but if you have TWRP running successfully, then you should be fine. If you use the search tool in the TWRP thread, you will see multiple references to PDA slot..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fitusv:
I just wanna say, this rom is awesome, I installed it and restored only data from my previous vision x nandroid, and it has been rock solid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kennyfool:
I spoke too soon. I get the reboot whenever I try to send a message in hangouts for some reason. Weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
[MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION]

Not 100% sure if it related or not but I finished getting everything to NABD (Thank you) and flashed the ViSiON NC5D ROM, then flashed the "remove hotspot mod" and upon reboot I got "smartcardservice has stopped". At that point I dirty flashed the ROM again and received the same error.

Went back, did a full wipe and installed ROM again without the "remove hotspot mod" and have not received the "smartcardservice has stopped" error. I will keep looking for an fix or workaround to the "update PRL" issue, but I would rather deal with that instead of "smartcardservice has stopped".

Thanks for the help and the advice, as always.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Do This...

OK, note that this is a test, but it should work.

To fix the PRL issue and have the right hotspot removal tool for NC5D...

1. Reflash ViSiON-X

2. Flash this TEST Removal Tool I just made for NC5D...

Report back.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
Same result [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], and PRL update still reboots the phone. Thanks for another shot at it though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LilTeddyP:
Not a veteran modder by any means, but I'm also no dummy.

Picked up a note 3 from a guy, and it appears he tried messing with the phone. Phone was stuck in a boot loop and TWRP was already installed.

I figured I might as well try a different rom since he had already voided any warranty there might have been. Tried this rom and I have no signal. Baseband is unknown.

So I tried taking it back to stock with the one click NAB full restore, same result.

Now I'm back to this ROM and I want to try and get this thing figured out.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I think that's awesome.

I have high hopes that our fix will be a proper hotspot mod for NC5D.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LilTeddyP:
Not sure what you mean from your reply.

I still have an unknown baseband. I've tried to flash this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701837) to it and it still says unknown.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
I am sure it was a misunderstanding, I believe he thought you meant you got it fixed by coming to this ROM. Sorry for the confusion. We should be able to get you back up and running!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Simple...

I am sorry that I was unclear in my response or my understanding of your post. It most certainly was not my intent.

I thought that you meant that you were going to try to get the issue with the PRL and profile updates figured out on this rom commensurate with trying to address your phone's current issues (win-win type scenario).

Anyway, if you are having problems with your phone in general, then we can try to help, but I would kindly ask that you post it in the Q&A forum. If you are having issues with this rom, then let us redress them here. If particular to another rom, then please post there.

FWIW, if you quote me or use the mention feature (@ symbol followed by username), I receive an email, and will likely reply in a timely fashion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fitusv:
I also confirm that when updating prl and profile, reboots my n3, I did a clean install of this rom, paid attention when flashed the fix and it says that installed Josh cracked hotspot and 4 way menu
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxtavarxx:
Very nice rom but keeps saying "wifi tether not supported"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
OK...

OK, clearly the test fix did not work.

I tried to make a flashable zip that would put the untouched NC5D services.jar back into system/framwork, and replace the one modified for NAB(D) (that's the hotspot mod, and why it's likely causing issues with profile and PRL). With Josh's permission, I dropped it into one of his zips (I grabbed the 4-1 reboot mod and deleted the file that was currently there, using 7zip).

In theory, my fix will work; I just didn't grab a flashable zip file into which I could quickly place it (I think there is other stuff going on with that zip I used besides the one Java Archive).

My concern was telling people to push services jar into system/framework and resetting permissions, as I did not know if this will cause insane problems with your phone. For instance, one can push/perm many files using root explorer, but try it with framwork-res.apk, and you are going to have a nightmare on your hands. Do it from TWRP file manager, no problems at all.

So, if any brave soul wants to simply push this file into system/framwork (renaming the one currently there), fixing permissions and rebooting, we may have a fair test of the fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Try putting that file I just linked in system, framework, first rename the one there with a dot bak extension, and push the one linked above, changing permissions to rw, r, r.

It should work, and from what I've read, it may not cause any issues.

Ill wait for a flashable zip im so lost
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
See if this can assist (do a backup first)...

Go to this directory, system, framework, as shown below...

Select the file that's in there, select rename from the options menu, add "bak" to the file name, as shown below...

Finally, copy the file I linked to that same directory, and change permissions, as shown below,

Reboot, hopefully fixed the ability to update profile, PRL, use mms, but no working hotspot mod.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

so the themes in that thread work on the sprint note 3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
You betcha...if you skip a few pages back, you'll see me asking a ton of questions about it (they are all labeled as being for the S4, but work well on the Note 3, other stuff), but understand that it's an aroma installer, so make a backup before you start.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

lol, thank you sir...the international roms are just as nice to me....I am surprised that this rom even works without me doing my tests....hard to do blind.:good::good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
I haven't had a chance to check this fix yet, hopefully later tonight or tomorrow I will ... busy day. I see you mentioned maybe fix mms, my mms is working fine. I thought I read the only problem someone was having with mms was with using Hangouts to send a mms, is anyone else having problems with mms and if so which service are they using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
And your PRL? I think it is, does that work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
Has the IEMI been blocked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
[MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], do I need to make a flashable, is there fixes that are needed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
The only issues I know of [MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION] are can't update PRL or Profile, when we try the phone reboots. Also I believe there is an issue with the hotspot mod, but I am not 100% on that ... better confirm with [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION] on the hotspot issue, he can give more details I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AxAtAx:
yes they do...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Text is not always the best way to convey intent.

I honestly was letting you know that they worked, and that I had asked a few, then a few more questions, prior to flashing them, just mentioned them for your reference.

I certainly didn't suggest that you should've read the entire thread, at least not in a negative way.

Anyway, I hope you find the theme you like (with the aroma installer, you get a ton of permutations)..

Clean flashed this ROM last night. Prl update reboots the phone but I knew that. Problem I'm having is with Wi-Fi calling. I have no quick setting for it and when I try and enable it in settings the phone hot reboots to the boot animation. Anyone else having this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Sure, try and make a zip file of just that services jar, a few can test it, and if it works, great, if not, take the hotspot mod out of this build and reupload.

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
First issue on WiFI calling that I have heard I believe. Did you do a full wipe before flashing the ROM? You did upgrade your system to NC5/NC5D, correct?

Also I confirm that I do not have a quick setting for WiFi calling
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fitusv:
No it does not work, but hotspot did, now I'm on a clean default install
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Yes I followed the guide a few pages back , went back to stock then updated to nc5 then ncd5. Then flashed this ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dalek_Caan:
just agreeing here .. no issues with wifi calling function just missing the toggle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
When I try and enable Wi-Fi casing I get to this screen for a few seconds then bam hot reboot.

I'll try and re flash the Rom in a bit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
That would be the next route I would take, I would also do a full wipe (not including storage) before re-flashing just to be safe. I did wipe my internal storage, but I did that just to clean up the phone some.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Beandip-Javier:
I was also missing the toggle but i did the following and it fixed it for me.

-reboot into recovery

-Wipe

-advance wipe

-check Dalvik Cache and Cache

install rom again and reboot

this fixed it for me, it may work for you also. Wont hurt to try.

oh and if it makes any difference im on TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Nice I'll report back when I get it re flashed. I did full wipe before restoring and updating to nc5d and before flashing this ROM. I'll probably wipe internal storage too. Can't remember if I did before flashing the Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Hey [MENTION=3736874]str8nitro[/MENTION], could you try that services jar (push perm like in my screenshots), and see if it fixes profile and PRL update issues?

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
I sure will [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], but it will be probably later tonight. My phone will be in use quite a bit today for business calls that I can't miss, but I will report back as soon as I can. This will be an easier one, if it don't work I will just delete the added file and rename the original file back. I am excited to try it :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dalek_Caan:
Just wanted to share my experience trying the push of the file .. it may have been me but when I renamed original services.jar device froze and then bootlooped .. However I did replace the one in the build with the one you posted and reflashed with that and still got a reboot updating PRL. Again may just be me as I have just a little working knowledge of these things but wanted to throw that out to you all .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
+1

I can confirm the same [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION]. Had an hour between calls so I replaced the file and instantly rebooted and thrown into a bootloop. Thanks for trying again ... we will get it I am sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
OK, got it. Thanks for the info. I thought that services jar would be a tricky one to just push into system framework. I appreciate it.

If I'm reading this correctly, you did replace the services jar and then reflashed the rom? If that's the case, reflashing the rom would have reverted the services jar to the older one, and thus wouldn't have been a proper test.

[MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION], flashable zip for newer services jar and proper permissions set, and then remove hotspot mod if the services jar replacement doesn't do the job.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] str8nitro:
I replaced the services jar and instantly rebooted, from there it went into a bootloop and stayed. Wasn't able to do anything past this point so I restored my backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dalek_Caan:
A flashable zip if it works would for sure be easiest .. But to clear it up what i did was take the services jar you posted and put it into the ROM zip replacing the original before flashing .. and still got a reboot on PRL .. although I guess it could have been a reboot that has been talked about happening before kernel was re flashed but that would be a heck of a coincidence on reboot timing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
There's the answer...that's exactly the same as doing a flashable zip.

Solution is to remove the hotspot mod from the rom, and I believe that all will work well (I hope)...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Ok so fully wiped including internal storage. And re flashed, I can get through the Wi-Fi calling setup now but when it tries to enable I'm getting a hot reboot still. This pops up and a few seconds later it hot reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
This again points to the fix being to excise the hotspot mod (which was built from NABD) from the rom, and reupload to a test folder.

Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
Nice thanks for the info. I wasnt making the connection that this could also be caused by the hotspot mod along with the prl issues. I'm working so not a lot of time to test currently. I'll keep an eye on the thread for the hotspot disabler and report back when I test more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seVIIn7:
I finally had the opportunity to flash the new update. I did a clean install. I've read my fellow xda'ers issue with the PRL/Profile update. I wanted to test it on my note and I to had the same issue the phone reboots.. Besides the reboot issue the ROM is awesome.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
That's what I was thinking. Just wanted to report what's going on with my device. No one else seems to have the Wi-Fi calling reboot issue I'm having. Also the hotspot removals you've posted haven't worked correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Understood. In case there is any question, I was just commenting on your observation and its intrinsic value (and it was most certainly valued), hoping that it is only the hotspot mod from NAB(D) that is the only fix this rom needs to be full-on superb. Please keep the reports coming.

As to the WiFi calling issue, I wish that I had a fix for you, but I have high hopes that once TheAxMan posts a test update, it'll get fixed as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GavinMazey:
I'm pretty sure this Rom has the tether mod built in but it is causing issues with various things. The mod is for the previous samsung firmware.

I think there may be another underlying issue for your WiFi calling and mms that we need to look into, not sure which direction to go but I am sure we can figure something out ... But I really haven't heard anything else with people having this issue, but I may be mistaken. :confused: I am just going to ask out loud to see if there are other reports which may help to narrow down the issue(s) your having.

Is there anyone else that is currently using the ViSiON NC5D ROM that can confirm having reboots (or any other issues) on WiFi calling and receiving mms (or sending)?

We are already aware of the issue with the PRL/Profile not updating ( and causing reboots) so at this time we do not need a report on that, we are testing different things to correct that. Thanks
