So last time I posted that I said that I would flash over to NC2 leave jelly bean 4.3. I was on the original MI9 firmware and I had reception issues @ work. I flashed NC2 4.4.2 over the weekend and I went back to work to find out that the reception issue remains. I don't want to go back to MJE 4.3 just yet, I'm going to continue testing for about a month and we'll see if I go back to MJE jelly bean 4.3 :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrbxx7:
Try flashing the nc4 modem. That helped my reception a bunch..

If my reception issues continue for rest of the week, then I might consider doing that. Cause once I go over to NC4 then there's no going back to MJE 4.3. Thank you kindly for your fast and prompt reply. I'm out of thanks for today but rest assured thanks will be coming tomorrow :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrbxx7:
Ur welcome. Just so u no u can flash just the nc4 modem without affecting bootloader. U can also flash mje modem. Nc2 is the worst modem for almost everone. The modems are here. It won't lock u on nc4 as it is only a modem. No firmware/boatloader.

You did not have to pay full retail to keep unlimited data, There are a couple ways around that.

As to getting a replacement, that should not be a problem. It does not change your plan. I just got a replacement this week and all is good on the unlimited data front. However be prepared for them to try to blame the problem on something you did to the phone. Ie dropping it or getting it wet. So just say you babied it and don't fall for their traps. Asurion is even worse with that

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tw1n5nak35:
I was able to flash the NC4 modem last night after coming home from work. Hopefully when I go back to work I'll have better reception, if it's still no good then back to MJE 4.3 jelly bean I go. I appreciate the help and Thanks given :D

New Phone

1. Towelroot to Root (no Kingo?)

2. Install Safestrap

3. Follow old method with Safestrap to install Beans Kit Kat rom, then wait for Alliance.

Am I missing anything? since in your other post you write use Busybox then supersu then safestrap and then rom. Not understanding the NC2 Kernal part
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrbxx7:
The nc2 kernel is only if u flash one of the other custom roms that require it to boot. If ur staying on beans nc4 stock build u won't need it. U will need to install super su and busybox after rooting. SS requires busybox to install.

Right now I am on the factory rom sent, I wanted to go to the rom beans posted, I took it that his was better no?

I am just questioning right now how much I should put on this new phone since I cant use the old Beans rom from 1/1/14, what rom should I actually put on this in your rec with it being a new phone? Was on Build 6 MJE by beans on my old phone (still need to bring it back to stock.

Also, any recs in terms of making sure I dont miss any files from my old phone to this phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrbxx7:
As of right now it's about the same as stock. As far as roms jasmine 1.8, eclipse, biggins are all great. Alliance is coming soon. I use titanium backup to backup all my apps.

I used Alliance Rom posting in their thread since I had some issues.

Steps:

1. Busybox / Towelroot

2. Safestrap

3. Install Alliance rom in stock slot

4. Install NC2 Kernal in ADP odin slot

5. Reboot done

Really stupid question,

My Google Play store after installing NC4 and Alliance rom shows 4 email accounts. Seems to have installed apps for other email accounts I do not want listed in Google Play. Is there a way to disassociate them from the play store.

The reason I ask is after installing Alliance ROM Busybox does not show its installed anymore. Is there a benefit of reinstalling it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tw1n5nak35:
I as well use multiple google accounts on my cell phone. I do not think there is a way to disassociate one of the account that you do not like using. You can choose the account you don't like and choose the option to disable sync. I found this article, hopefully it will help:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
It was never promised. It is possible. It is just so fragile of a process to have it set up, and a lot of trial/error.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Not to be rude but to expect anything other than touchwiz roms on a retail note 3 is not likely to happen. Kexec is a dream that may or may not come to fruition. That's why I bought a developer note 3 and I'd suggest if touchwiz isn't doing it for you invest in a Dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jlitew:
I've been running this for the past two days. With this along with SS for KK can we now install roms not based on TouchWiz? Such as AOKP or Cyanogen.

Also, without fully understanding the difference I installed the de-odexed version. After reading a bit into the difference I found that de-odexed is not optimized. Being someone who does not go far past root/xposed/and possibly a separate rom on SS, is it wise to keep it de-odexed, or should I switch?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrbxx7:
Deodex is best for customizing. No if u own the retail n3 u can only flash touchwiz.

I made the mistake of doing the OTA update on my Verizon SM-N900V to 4.4.4 and I now realize the talk on the net is that this version cannot be rooted.

Can 4.4.4 be rooted ?

From what I can tell , there is no root method available for 4.4.4. Can someone confirm this ? I am so mad at myself . I was running 4.4.2 rooted with Jasmin rom V6.0.. I tried to flash the new version of Jasmin (6.1) using Flash Fire and my device would not boot . I had no choice but to odin to 4.4.4 to get a working device again . Am i out of luck completely ?

Thank you

Thanks mattnmag!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Ethan9987:
Dang , that sucks! I wish someone could inject root into the stock odin tar file that can be flashed . I don't even know if that is possible , but if someone took the N900VVRUEOB6.tar file , extracted it , and put the root files in place . Re-compressed it and flashed it . Wonder what would happen .

Just a thought . I am not smart enough to figure that out , but I bet someone is! .. If possible!

Thanks guys!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Borderpatrol1987:
I believe that would change the signature of the OS and cause odin to fail because its not recognized. Plus it would change the file size if it checks that.

It doesn't sound like 4.4.4 or 5.0 will ever get a root method ... So I am looking for another device. I love the Galaxy Note's .... but not if I can't root them! What is a good device ? I am with Verizon . What do you all recommend ? One that can obviously be rooted ?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DrPhant0m:
That first bullet point... when it is said "go back to 4.3..." does it matter what build? I ask because I'm currently on MI9, rooted. I used the original RDLV technique, so I want to know if things go south, whether or not I can flash back to MI9 and root the same way I did before using the same cooked ODIN file that I know works perfectly. Or... if you have to flash back to MJE for some reason.

In previous releases (MJ7, MJE, and other from other carriers)... there was roll-back prevention written into the updates, so you couldn't downgrade. So... I'm wondering if the previous rollback protection would keep some users from going back to previous builds that they wouldn't have been able to get to previously. In my case... I've never updated the FW on the phone, so I want to keep my options as open as possible. So, if I have to flash back to MJE from the NC2 leak... will I not be able to go back to MI9? Therefore, I'll have to take my chances with one of the "other" root methods like kingo or vroot?

This relates to my question of whether or not I have to be on MJE in order to flash the leak, or Beans's pre-rooted ROM... but I asked that in the thread for that ROM, so I don't want to be guilty of multi-posting.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Harleydroid:
You will only be able to odin back to mje after doing this update.

I'm almost positive you should be okay flashing the 4.4.2 rom while on MI9. Because your going to odin the firmware and your wiping the stock slot before flashing also. I also deleted all my rom slots. Since mje builds aren't compatible with the new Safestrap built for 4.4.2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jsdecker10:
[MENTION=3085711]DrPhant0m[/MENTION] ,

I was also wondering the EXACT same thing as you! I've found myself in an identical situation as you. Like yourself, I bought my Note 3 when it was only a week or two out of its initial release from Verizon and it had MI9 on it. I also rooted using the original "Root de la Vega" root method and haven't bothered to update to any builds after that...nothing...not MJE or any of the "custom" builds on here by Hyperdrive, Beans, etc. I found the original "Kingo" root method VERRRRYYY sketchy and just never have felt totally comfortable using that method to achieve root, so I just remained content and stayed on the first and original OEM MI9 build.

Like yourself, I've also been wondering about whether or not any Verizon Note 3 users, such as you and I, that were still on MI9, would be able to flash

directly

from MI9 to this new "leaked" 4.4.2 KitKat, while completely BYPASSING the MJE build altogether. (MI9 ----> KitKat). I also posted a new thread a day or two ago in the VZW Note 3 "Q&A/Troubleshooting" forum, but only got a single, short response. The xda member that replied to my thread answered this question for us and said that we should be able to do what we're wondering about, but I just haven't felt totally comfortable about all this until just now reading your post too.

I guess I'm gonna go ahead and take the plunge and try it out and just find out for myself. Have you tried this yet? If so, how did everything go?

Thanks!!

If you wait and take the official 4.4.2 there may not be a root method AND you will probably not be able to roll back like you can with the current 4.4.2 leak (for distaster recovery etc).

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ryanbg:
Okay, before this gets out of control. Kexec is now possible, yes. BUT, kexec is VERY finicky and difficult to get working properly. When you dump the running kernel and replace it, all the hardware/services/processes your kernel was running become very confused and have no idea what state the hardware is in, or what various system services and processes were doing. In order for kexec to work, the old kernel needs to be 'bridged' properly meaning the new kernel needs to pick up where the old kernel left off. The new kernel needs to inform the harwdare of its state, especially the modem, and all other ciritical attached processes/services.

In order to do this, it takes a significant amount of time, debugging, trial and error, etc... I'm not the right person to do it, but I'm sure [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] could give it a great attempt, and I bet he already is. However, it is going to take more than a couple days to get kexec working, IF it works. It will take a long time. You guys will have to be patient as kexec is tricky. I'm sure if Hash makes any progress, he will let you guys know when the time is right. For now though, I wouldn't even bother asking. It's a very tedious and timely process.

I have read some samsung apps are missing in this update?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DrPhant0m:
Hey... yeah, I did it this morning, and it worked great. I downloaded all the requisite files, checked the MD5s both on my PC and on my device to make sure they are good (not necessary, but good practice), and then played along as the YouTube video in the 2nd post of the BeansTown ROM thread guided me through it. The only thing I did differently was... I didn't delete the one nandroid (do they still call it that?) backup from when I first installed the rooted MI9. For some reason, I couldn't risk just deleting it... and I didn't think it would matter if I left it on there until AFTER I was sure everything worked alright. I can tell you... it didn't matter that I left it on there for me.

After I had booted into KitKat and the dust settled, I installed the new safestrap, booted into recovery (by pressing the button during boot, not through the app), and THEN I deleted the old backup I had. I now have a new backup of this kitkat release.

The only problem I've come across so far is that Google Wallet Tap to Pay doesn't work... but that seems to be common to everyone that installed the leak, not just me. There seems to be an explanation for it... Something about "NXP Controller" and "HCE" being supported in 4.4.3 natively. (Don't quote me on this... I don't understand what I'm saying) A link was posted here, to explain... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573842 (I didn't understand what was here, either.) :eek:
