Hey, all

First, thanks for all the great info in all the threads I've been lurking on. You guys are beasts (that's a good thing).

I'm currently running Beans's rooted NC2 in the stock slot of SS 3.72, with a couple Wanam tweaks to make things look less Samsungy. About once a day, my status bar disappears and I get a notification that the systemui process has stopped. The only way out of this is to reboot, and turning off my Wanam tweaks hasn't seemed to help.

Is anyone else seeing this? I couldn't find any posts about it on here. Any ideas?

Thanks again, y'all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
Wanam shouldn't do that on it's own. What other mods are you running, themes, apps, etc..

《 #VerizonLovesYou 》
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratmak:
Hey, Lefty!

Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you. I have a few other Xposed modules active, but nothing that seems too volatile:

AppOpsXposed 1.17.2

Buttered Toast 1.1

CrappaLinks 2.6

Disable Clear Defaults Dialog 1.0

Disable Battery Full Alert 1.0

Google Play Music Listen Later 1.1

KeepChat 3.2.3

As far as themes, I have only the visual tweaks from Wanam, and those are few. I use Nova Prime for my launcher and I'm fond of trying different icon packs, but again, nothing out of the ordinary.

Is there anything in particular you were expecting to hear? Maybe I'm inadvertently omitting something.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
Yeah nothing you listed should mess with systemui like that. Only thing I could think to try is wipe data for systemui in system/app mgr. Other than that a clean flash...

Mods I was looking for were things like adding toggles, etc... things you flash onto a rom.

《 #VerizonLovesYou 》
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Ratmak:
I'll try wiping the data and see how that works over a few days. Worst case is I'll reflash Sunday or Monday. I'm really hoping I can get something like the SlimBean I had on my old S3 on here sometime soon, but since I'm no dev, who am I to complain :P

Thanks again!

Dear wilspeak,

If you could ever so kindly let me know what tar you've downloaded, and what the extension of the file is. Perhaps it needs to be extracted in a different fashion, or perhaps you could remove the .md5 from the .tar.md5 extension. Let me know :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
To answer your question, you cannot flash back to MJE. The boot loader files on our phones have a special 'counter'. Usually when there is an important update to fix (for example) a security flaw, a bug, or etc.. that counter increments up one value. MJE has a counter value of '2', while the NC4 OTA has a counter value of '3'. The counter value cannot count down, only up. The value of the counter is written into the boot loader file that you flash to your phone, so your phone checks it and will know that the update is old and blacklisted. So once you are at '3', you are stuck with firmware that has a counter value of '3', which in our case, only NC4 has.

There is a muted ray of light for your situation though. NC4 kernel/boot image was patched for the towelroot exploit. I believe that you can flash the NC2 boot.img to your device, and use it alongside the rest of the NC4 files. You will need to create a flashable .tar file on Linux or Mac OS X. If I get some free time soon, I can make you this file and we can give it a shot. There is the risk of blowing the warranty bit, because I don't have a full NC4 device so I don't know how it will react, but it's worth a shot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Zrutisan:
If I undestand correctly, I can install a custom kernel on NC2 Verizon Note 3 even if the bootlocker is locked?

Thank you for the advice & I will send you a private message .I appreciate your time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
[MENTION=4178209]wilspeak[/MENTION] and all others interested

This is the kernel for NC2. It is signed and packaged to be flashed in Odin. Wilspeak, you will want to flash the full NC4 tar first, and let it boot up normally. Then restart and boot into Download/Odin mode again, and flash this file. This is downgrade your kernel to NC2 (which is better for a few reasons.) Most importantly, this kernel is vulnerable to towelroot. I must warn you first, I am not sure if they blacklisted the kernel on NC4, so there IS a possibility it will blow your warranty bit, however I do not believe this to be the case and I think you are fine to flash it. I just wanted to give a fair warning. Good luck, and let me know if it works.

Hello

Okay so this is with stock rom- or custom rom- doesn't matter- i keep everything how it is after i flash too and still having battery drain. i de-bloat, freeze, hibernate, tweaked CPU and voltage profiles it still has poor battery life- honestly it is probably the phone. Might have been water damaged at one point or something like that. I should not be having this many battery issues.

---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

I have not tried another modem. I am going to try to flash the MJ3 modem over my NC4 one and see what happens. and i have 3 custom roms i have tried with no better luck on battery. Probably the phone itself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tw1n5nak35:
I agree, I have: stock rom, hydpedrive, jellybeans, eclipse and bajarom combat edition

Thank you for clearing this up. So we can go back to MJE 4.3 only on NC2 but if we take the OTA NC4 or flash in odin we will be stuck on kk. Wow, I think I might just stay on MI9 and maybe jump to NC2 instead of NC4 :D

Some have experienced signal issues but a different modem usually fixes that. If u flash nc2 u can always go back to mje if u hate it. Just nandroid ur current setup in case u ever want to restore it on mje. Imo nc2 has been great after changing modems. The custom roms are all fantastic for kk.

I have a question for you guys and I apologize in advance if this has already been answered. Don't have time to look through the whole thread because I'm really on a time limit. I was running beans nc2, rooted. Sold the phone to someone who wants to use it mainly for tethering. He had some issues getting a new sim and activating it so he sent it back to me to return it to stock, which I did and sent it back with the explicit instructions not to let it take the update. Long story short, he took the update. It's just downloaded, he hasn't actually installed it yet. I guess my question is, did he screw the pooch and loose any chance to go back, with no root or being able to tether? Thanks in advance.

If he didn't install the ota he should be ok. Even if he did towelroot will root nc4 and then he can install ss and custom rom.

My note 3 is fully functioning so I really could just send it back and tell them nc4 had NO service so I'm keeping my current phone. Should I do something else with this fresh, never connected note 3 from vzw? Since it is factory sent with nc4 then all I have going is root isn't ur?

dpoverlord.... towelroot is a one-click rooting tool packaged as an APK. Download it from Towelroot.com (click on the lambda symbol), run the APK on your phone (Google will warn you that the app bypasses Android’s defenses – that’s normal), click “make it ra1n”, and away you go.

I am going to be in your boat soon, the only reason verizon is sending me a new phone is that my battery is not holding a charge. I can do what you just said and send it back to them.

[MENTION=5486835]dpoverlord[/MENTION]: My experience has been that the official NC4 OTA is definitely a one-way street. There's no way to revert from NC4 back to MJE, etc. However, towelroot works just dandy, as well as SafeStrap 3.75. These tools, and specific instructions like you've found, should get you into a custom ROM without much hassle. I'm using BajaROM v16.1 July 4th edition...I freaking love it. Next up is AllianceROM & I can't wait. JellyBean ROMs, not likely, as far as I understand right now (admittedly limited grokking of r00t concepts). Anyway, hope some of that helped.

Hey, [MENTION=4345388]jrbxx7[/MENTION],

I really wanted to flash the build in beans KK post (I believe you're talking about the NC2 rooted odex/deodex variant). I tried multiple times to get the NC2 kernel flashed via Odin, following the instructions in that thread. Each time I flashed I received what I think was a PIT file error. I say that because the only way I could fix it was to replace the PIT file [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] uploaded (found in another thread). The only thing I didn't try was to flash the NC2 kernel with the PIT file at the same time. I admit my tolerance had thinned considerably by that time. And once I had Baja up and running I just breathed easy and didn't think about it again.

However, reading your reply has got me curious. Was the only thing I missed/messed up that I didn't flash the kernel with the PIT file? Now if that's the case, I'd love some further insight/guidance on how to achieve NC2 rooted from NC4. Please drop me a reply/PM if you're willing to help me sort that out...I'd love to be on NC2.

Thanks,
