Oh wait a minute you odined the full leak? Sorry it's getting late. If you odined the sextape leak and didn't use Beans builds to upgrade I'm not sure if you can Odin back to mje.

Sorry man my fault for the wrong info. You can try to Odin back but I'm not sure what will happen

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

Maybe pm Beanstown and see what he thinks.

Man you might be stuck.

Hopefully someone gets a root method for 4.4.2 for people that odined the sxtp leak before it was prerooted.

Man I feel terrible.

Sorry bro.

Here's why it won't work yet. When Google wallet first came out it used a physical secure element chip on the phones to encrypt your credit card info. This didn't play nice with ISIS. Verizon/Att/T-Mobile didn't like this and blocked it.

Google didn't take this lying down and came up with a other solution. A Software based secure element. In order for this to work, they needed Host Card Emulation (HCE). NCI, one of two manufacturers provided the necessary programming for it to work.

Our phones have NFC chips provided by NXP. NXP has not yet released the programming needed to get the HCE to work into AOSP, thus we don't have tap and pay at this current time

Now to further frustrate everyone. There are a few phones that have NXP and working tap to Pay. Those are the Google play devices. We have been trying to decompile the code and pull the necessary code out. But that's not as easy as it sounds.

So, sit tight and wait for 4.4.3 and hopefully we can make it work.

Hopefully I'ts ok to ask such a question but I'm on the verge of getting a note 3 from clist so I was wondering if someone ca assist me on what to look for and avoid as far as current roms. I wanna ensure the previous user didn't take the update that would lock me down, so to speak, but I'm not sure of the past and or current build to avoid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Honestly, I haven't heard of an OTA rolling out yet so I wouldn't be worried about getting a device that has accepted that & can't go back or be rooted. The OTA could come at any time but I'm sure you'll hear about it here quickly so until then any out on the market should be able to be rooted, etc.

Of course use common sense on things like bricked devices, cosmetic damage, etc.

PLease name them? I've only heard of one thing to freeze. SHE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DrPhant0m:
Some stuff to consider is what root method can be used, depending on the firmware installed... and whether or not you care if the knox flag has been set. The latter will likely only apply if you have enterprise security concerns... which is unlikely if you're buying the phone on craigslist.

As for the root method... There is no unrootable version of the Verizon phone, since the kit kat update has not been officially pushed. Find the "Universal Root De La Vega" thread for which versions are supported by that method. You may have to use Kingo or vRoot... but these methods have had a sketchy past, so proceed with them only if you understand what they are (and more importantly... what they are NOT).

Ideally... you would want to find a Note 3 with the MI9 firmware version on it (the initial release), and it would already be rooted via the original root de la vega method. That setup worked great for me in getting onto the leaked, pre-rooted kitkat build.

Consider checking Swappa, too. You can get more information without having to hassle the craigslist sellers, who, as I have found out first-hand... are often surprisingly unwilling or unable to answer questions about their own devices that they are selling. Also... in one case, a seller was selling 100 pain pills and a Note 3 that they "found" and did not want to split the two to sell separately. Weird, huh?

Good luck!

Is this something we should do? I just froze them... but I'm not sure if I'm going to miss something.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I froze them because I was getting a constant notification of a Samsung update that looked just like a OTA. I wasn't able to download it because the updater itself is removed but it was really annoying and useless.

Update: Check this post for information straight from Beans about freezing OTAs: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52223159&postcount=766

***

Yeah, I get updates from Samsung for Samsung apps all the time. Samsung has their own app store, which gets updates itself... as well as a lot of the pre-loaded crapps that were on the phone when I bought it. I don't think the Samsung updater will have any impact on reverting/updating the leaked 4.4.2 software. More blatantly... I don't think the Samsung updater can ruin the benefits that we've gained from the leak. So... if you've installed Beans's deodexed ROM, or if you've frozen SDM... then in my humble, non-professional opinion... I think you're safe.

When I was on MI9, I froze an app called FWUpdate or something like that... and had my phone for a month while MJ7 and MJE were both already available (this was in February). At around the 1 month mark... all of a sudden, my phone wanted to install an OTA. I was horrified. A little research exposed the fact that I had to freeze SDM... so that's what I did. No more OTA requests.

Can anyone else comment about the necessity to freeze other apps? I would assume that Beans knew what was necessary when he said that the deodexed version had OTAs frozen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] pipnmike:
Modem

Could someone clear up the following?

I have the deodexed 4.4.2 leak. I saw that Beans just posted a NC2 modem file. Now - when the firmware was flashed for the leak, can I assume that the modem was updated too? Or do I need to flash this NC2 modem file separately? The reason i'm asking is that since updating to the leak, my signal is fluctuating a little too easily between 4G and 3G, similar to what others have said, so I want to see if flashing back to a different modem would improve this....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Thanks for the info, that explains it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
You already have the NC2 modem installed. See settings, about, baseband. That modem file was provided separate from the rom for the guys running the dev edition phones because they can't load the stock retail KK firmware which includes modem and kernel . They have to skip the kernel, load a different one from 4.3 and then load the NC2 modem if they want it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] pipnmike:
Thank you. Another quick question - i'm assuming that it is safe to install an earlier modem through odin, is that correct?

Is anyone seeing QSEEcom constantly spit out IOCTL errors in logcat/dmesg or is that just me?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] celticfdguy:
I have a dilemma.

I upgraded to the leak with no problem. However, when I went to activate activesync for my work email the phone fails to encrypt, which is required by my job. I start the encryption process, the phone reboots (which is normal), but never kicks off the encryption process. I went back to 4.3 and encrypted my phone with no problem. I assume this fails due to the 4.4 release being rooted?

My question is: Has anyone had this happen to them and is there any sort of work around?

Thanks

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] celticfdguy:
So, is there a way I can get onto this Kitkat release and also encrypt my phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Flying_Hellfish:
You can go the route I did for corp email and use Touchdown. It encrypts only the app data and any downloads so you don't have to encrypt the entire phone. I had issues getting my encryption to work on stock note 3 when I bought it so I bit the bullet for TD.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] celticfdguy:
So what is the process you took to use TD?

1. Root phone

2. encrypt with TD

3. Add activesync account
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Flying_Hellfish:
TD doesn't actually encrypt the entire phone, only its own app data and any attachments you download. It more or less exists as its own little encrypted world on your phone. The other nice thing about this is touchdown will enforce a PIN only for the app if your activesync forces a PIN. That way I can have tasker turn off my screen lock PIN when I'm at home. ;)

All you have to do is download the app (I wouldn't buy the key yet until you're sure it works for you) then use your setup info for activesync to create a touchdown acct on the phone. It will have a PIN for the app (if required), encryption, etc.

Do you have to be rooted to install this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] anticloud:
4.4.2 (this build) questions wifi and mobile data

In this build, after installing to my note 3 as per instructions? I noticed that the wifi and mobile data seem to be both active, or, after turning on wifi the mobile data does not seem to turn off, and in some cases internet traffic seems to be routed on both networks - this is odd behavior, as in previous releases when wifi is turned on naturally mobile data turns off.

so, is mobile data still engaged even with wifi actively connected? if so, there is something wrong in two senses -

a. mobile data is still being used, reducing monthly allocation of data - this is bad

b. with both networks on, is there a privacy / security risk?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
In the advanced wifi settings there is a option to have it use any network available. It seems odd because the behavior it describes seems like how it's always been. It uses wifi when it can and switches automatically to cellular data when wifi isn't available. Why there is a setting that seems to give you the same default option is beyond me. It's probably something to do with the download booster option available in new Samsung devices, that will actually use BOTH data streams in parallel to speed up downloads over 30MB.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Borderpatrol1987:
AFAIK, vzw devices never got that booster.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neyenlives:
Yes of course. But it would explain why they are biased towards seemingly using both data streams by default now.

Ok first off just want to thank Hash and Beans for all their work on all of this. Pure AWESOMESAUCE! I do however have a question. With the ability to revert back to 4.3 would mean the bootloader is unlocked or at least partialy unlocked right? Second if that os the case is it possible to use a different recover CWM for example? Tje only reason I ask is because when i first got my Note 2 and rooted it was before I ever heard of TWRP and ended up with a brick after attempting a back up.

The bootloader is still locked. If I remember correctly, it's something with the kk kernel that allows it to be rolled back. It was explained somewhere in this thread or possibly another. I'm not sure. But currently, the bl is still locked down tight.

The kk leak has the same os identifiers as 4.3 which allows us to roll it back. When the official ota comes out, the numbers will be different preventing a rollback.

Found the cause

Actually - as it turns out, there were a couple of applications interfering with the switchover from mobile data to wifi, whereas wifi turn on, but mobile data did not turn off...

1. Galaxy Locker - interfered with the functionality described above

2. CANID.apk - appears to use mobile data and arbitrarily turns on mobile data even though wifi is already on

Having said that - I am not sure if these apps use mobile data on purpose, or are they not exactly compatible with the 4.4.2 NC2 - NC4 versions

removing both apps seems to clear up the issue completely -

however, I think visual voicemail for Verizon arbitrarily turns on mobile data while wifi is on but I do not consider that "broken" behavior, I know that My Verizon used to have the issue...
