[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Mate, if possible find a rom that isn't carrier specific. Carrier roms have a different partition table and require a pit file to flash. I wouldn't play with this just yet.

If possible see if you can find the original polish rom (Kitkat) and flash that using ODIN 3.09 - the broken up version with BL, AP, CP and CSC files.

Never had a problem flashing that on the 4 Note 3's I've flashed...

Once you've got a working phone then worry about rooting and CWM.

Though I would suggest cf-autoroot (make sure its the Kitkat one) and CWM 6.0.4.7. Both should be locatable in Original Android Developement.

CWM 6.0.4.7 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2454079 , thankyou Chenglu...

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

Remember, AFTER the phone is back up and running... It can be hard enough to recover without muddying the waters with something else...

Hi Ultramag,

Could you kindly provide me the link for the ROM.

I assume what you are meaning here is that Vodafone firmware rom that I am using is the issue.

I checked SAM's firmware and there are a number of listed ROM's for Poland.

The one thing i know is that my phone is not carrier specific. Atleast this is what was mentioned to me at the time of buying.

Thanks,

Nikhil

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Ok Joe,

I got a Pass this time and the phone has started up.

Now it's asking for an update...I don't want to mess up so shall i do OTA updates ?

Thanks a lot guys for all the help. Atleast the phone has started working now :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Yes and put them in their respective slots on odin as per the instructions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Sorry guys, 3am here as doing something else til the insomnia kicked in for a few minutes...

You need to use 3.09 ODIN with each of those files in the corresponding part.

To go to Kitkat you need to flash the new bootloader - BL.tar.md5

AP is the main part of the rom, system and apps, CP is the Kitkat modem (sometimes the JB modems don't work and you loose wifi and phone so flash this too) and CSC is self explanatory...

OKay, bit late but good the phones up and running again...:good::laugh:

No problem but I am being asked for an update of 27.66 MB.

Do i install or not ?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
The firmware you just flashed is a leaked build and in my opinion you should update yours to the latest one available as there are probably bug fixes and enhancements made since that time. I would suggest trying the latest from vodaphone again and if it doesn't work like before, you have the leaked firmware to fallback on. It's what I would do but it's up to you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Definately update but beware of carrier roms. The partition table is generally different and may result in fail around the "hidden" part of the flash. Better to find an open generic rom... Just make sure its a Kitkat rom, anything that has N** as the last 3 letters in the build... You could also flash a custom recovery and then install a custom rom...

I'm testing Assassin rom and it seems good at the moment but there are a myriad in the Android Developement section.... Find one you like and go for it or remain stock, up to you... :D:laugh:

Hey Joe,

So updating the phone for this update OTA wouldn't cause my phone to become a brick again right.

Don't want to go again into this loop of issues.

Also is there anything I can do to ensure i have a backup to fall back on to revert to the Current position in case anything happens.

Thanks,

Nikhil
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Hey Ultramag,

The firmware that's just provided by Joe isn't a carrier rom i suppose. That's what was causing the issues i think though I am a novice in this flashing roms.

At the moment I would like to be on stock rom for a while simply cause my phone is on a contract and I don't want to brick it again. I would like to take the risk but maybe at a later date. My only confusion at the moment is the "Software update" message that I am getting , should I or shouldn't I update it.

Thanks a lot for your assistance and advice ,

Nikhil
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
The only way to backup and restore your current firmware is to install a custom recovery and back it up to your external sdcard ( there might be adb method but have absolutely no idea about the commands ) otherwise you'll have to flash back again. I don't know if the update will brick your phone or not because most of the time the OTA update is the one that causes the softbrick just like what happened to you the first time around where it ask you to use Kies. That's why I'm recommending that you use odin to flash a complete firmware just like the NC2 you downloaded but only after backing up your current firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I agree with hey_Joe. The Polish rom was to get you up and running Kitkat. You can stay there if you want, go to settings about and disable OTA firmware updates to stop the message, but I would go for something else personally.

Install a custom recovery to be able to backup - this means that if something does go wrong during a flash you have a rom to recover so you have your phone back up and running quickly, you could stick to stock if you wish but I prefer custom.

As you've already killed Knox warranty you might as well get something good that you want....

Now that you have convinced me to use custom recovery which i downloaded from the link that you provided, Could you kindly provide me the instructions too for backing up the current polish rom that I have. Just in case anything goes wrong.

Thanks,

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Hi Joe,

The link for the CWM recovery you provided, would that work fine with the Polish ROM KK that I am using.

Once you can confirm, I can install it.

Like I said earlier, I don't want to mess up again. Better to be safe than sorry. :D

Thanks,

Nikhil
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Yes it will work with the firmware you have.

Once it's installed, boot to it then go to the " backup and restore " section then " backup to/storage/extSdCard ".
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Hi Joe,

When I extract the recovery file, it contains two files :-

1. cache.img.ext4

2. recovery.

Which one is to be added to AP ?

Or do i directly add the tar file ?

Thanks,

Nikhil
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Joe,

I used the tar file, Now it's asking for Root access Y/N ?

Thanks,

Nikhil
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
What is asking for root access?

You don't extract the file you downloaded. Just flash in odin in AP/PDA slot with phone in download mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
I used the tar file. Got a Pass.

But on the Phone, i am getting a message .

Root access is missing. Root device

No

Yes
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
If you want root then yes. Root has no effect when phone is in recovery mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
O ok..Then i will take root.

Also can I have your chat IM id if that's not to inconvenient for you
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Even though I clicked on Yes, it didn't give me root access.

I verified with the app Root checker.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Okies, No root but I am in Recovery mode and backing up my image onto extSDCard.

Now for the different rom mentioned earlier. Alexander NC2. Does it need root access ? Also are the instructions the same to go into that ROM as i did for this ROM

Thanks,

Nikhil
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Then download this and save to sdcard.

Reboot to recovery and install.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Alexander NC2 is rooted so all you need to do is download, put in ext sdcard, reboot to recovery and install. You don't need odin to flash it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Okies...And lastly, which other ROM's are there good enough for Note3.

I know of cyanogenmod but any others. ??

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Different people have different preferences so browse here for the rom that meets your fancy and you try it out. I think the hands on approach is the best way to tell if the rom meets your expectations, it's what I do. The only downside though ( at least for me ) is that I have different roms loaded everytime a new rom comes along or the existing once are updated.

No problem and enjoy :)

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Update options - if you select wipe data, it will wipe everything from your phone before installing the rom which I recommend

Selected mod - the look of the apps probably different from stock

CSC - select your country or the one closest to you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Ok for Update - Selected Wipe.

In Selected mod - Does it mean I can change the phone app and the messaging app from the samsung touchwiz which i hate and wanted to change for ever

In CSC - Selected BTU (UK)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Hey Joe,

Ok i fail to understand this or maybe i did something wrong.

But my new alexandr rom looks exactly same as the rom i flashed and backed up with. All the samsung apps are there.

Also, when checked with Root checker- It says no root access.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
It is a stock rom so shouldn't be different from what you had before. The changes/update are from the inside like maybe more secure, a bit faster, etc.. If you want to have a different looking rom, try something else in the forum I linked you to like Bobcat rom, Sweet rom, X-note rom, Bobcat rom, etc...As for the root, install the file I linked you to on my post # 92.

Hi Joe,

Last question, now when I see my mobile data, it'd says LTE instead of 4G. Is this expected. I had selected BTU(UK) in the csc section when I installed this room.

Thanks,

Nikhil
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
It shouldn't be a problem. Generally here in Canada, lte is faster than 4g and I've seen quite a lot of posts from fellow Canadians asking how to bring back lte after flashing a custom rom where like you only 4G is showing. But I've read some posts stating that the speed they're getting is actually lte speed even though it's only showing 4G on their phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhanda:
Hmm. I actually did a test with a friend who has same network provider and is on 4g with speed test. I constantly got 14Mbps and my friend got 26Mbps. Now that's a huge difference. Wondering if anyone else has seen this too.
[Shield Q&A] chewyboy:
I was looking around and found fairly easily that the lcd screen used is identified as LH500W1-SD03, now the question or thing i am curious about is does anyone have any specs on this particular lcd module? I am curious because and I know this will sound crazy but if it is 120hz plus wouldn't 3d vision be possible on the shield. Yes i realize that is a pipe dream but still can not help but wonder about it. Also not being able to find any real data sheets on it is puzzling as well.
[Shield Q&A] uoykcuf86:
The max refresh rate of the Shield is 60.55Hz I believe.
[Shield Q&A] mudflap2.0:
hmm

is this why quadrant never shows above 63fps, even when vsync is disabled via pimp my rom?
[Shield Q&A] CDeviant:
Simple answer, No.

Long answer, read up.

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=928593

TL;DR:

- Vsync limits frame rate = to Monitor refresh rate

- GPU can push as many frames as it's possible to do so

- Monitors have a set refresh rate

- When the amount of frames is > than the refresh rate, tearing happens

- When the amount of frames is < than the refresh rate, slowdown happens (Vsync enabled only)

This is because the GPU has to wait for the monitor to be ready to draw the next frame, while that's happening, the GPU will draw previous frames. In other words, slow down.

Hey guys,

My Nexus 4 screen+digitiser are dead (I replaced the whole phone with a Moto G because it was nearly the same price as repair). I changed recovery from TWRP to CWM, installed a stock ROM but now I'm stuck. I can't set up the phone without being able to touch the screen, can't add a bluetooth keyboard without touching, can't remotely control with ADB without touching (to confirm the request), and I can't remotely install anything because I haven't added my Google account yet (clean flash of stock ROM).

I've tried to Google this but have had no luck, do any of you guys know if there exists a flashable VNC or other remote software which I can just stick on the phone, and then be able to VNC straight in (without confirmation) to control the phone and get it set up?

I wanted to set up the phone as a desktop computer for the kids (MHL-HDMI for the monitor, bluetooth keyboard and mouse for control, speakers in the headphone jack for sound).

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] therreid:
Since I have now switched to a DNA for may daily use phone, I thought I would take my rooted and s-off DINC 4G LTE over to our local GSM carrier (Union Wireless) and see if I could use it on their GSM service as an emergency phone. Here in Wyoming we have decent Verizon service in the cities and towns and most places on the Interstates and spotty service on state highway route. So, when we go camping in the mountains, etc. one has to generally find a high place to get a Verizon signal. However the local company (Union) has signal most places, but they are GSM.

When I talked to the rep at Union she said to stop by one of their stores and try out a sim and see if it worked in my phone......So I did just that and it did indeed work. I did not try data, but it looked like data worked as well as my phone updated my Microsoft outlook while we were testing it.

I am running CM 10.2.1 on this DINC 4G LTE and it does look like it will work great as a GSM option. Whether I chose to use it here in Wyoming or need a GSM phone in a foreign country.

For a phone that receives such little love and was forgotten by HTC.....it really is a very solid unit.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
XPERIA TX - JB 4.3 - 9.2.A.1.205 OFFICIAL USA STOCK ROM - FLASHABLE ZIP​

Based on the latest .205 FTF, pure stock ROM, no custom themes, superuser mod, etc.

Downloads:

1.- LT29i_9.2.A.1.205_USA_antigaprime.zip

2.- SuperSU

Basic flashing instructions apply:

1.- Flash LT29i_9.2.A.1.205_USA_antigaprime.zip

2.- Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip

If flashing doesn't work for you at first, wipe /system first with recovery.

I started making this basically for myself, but since I usually delete most crapware/bloatware, I decided to share it first before I perform those changes. DPI is set to 280, since that is how I like it. If you don't like it, you can always change it back to 320 in build.prop. (Note: having the DPI to 280 changes the dialer app a bit, so I use Xposed+App Settings to set the DPI for that specific app to 320).

Stock kernel is included and flashed with the ROM, which means it'll most likely work on locked bootloaders, but if it doesn't, I am not responsible for users having to reflash their stock FTF.

So far I've tested everything, but like I said before, I am not responsible if things do not work for you, especially if you didn't wipe /system and /data.

Thanks:

[MENTION=4872623]DaRk-L0rD[/MENTION], for answering my questions, and for all his work on which many ROMs are based on.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
You mean the reboot issue when trying to mount /system as RW? If you are talking about that, it doesn't make sense because, according to the fix:

This ROM/kernel does not have the ric binary incorporated in the ramdisk, though it does have the ric binary in /system/bin/. Since, according to the fix posted in the link above, the author forbids the ric binary from every starting up by changing it's permissions, if your problem were happening to me, I'd reboot into recovery, connect my phone to my pc with ADB, and do the exact same thing, or even just rename the ric binary to ric.bak, or delete it alltogether, and see if that fixes that.

As a matter of fact, even the flashable zip from that post does that exactly:

So maybe you'd want to try flashing that file, or what I suggested, before trying to unlock your bootloader. You might find a quicker fix for your problem.
