I think he might have you a little confused. You are correct, IF you wiped your system, and flashed KK, then odin'd the firmware, you will have a clean system with NO Safestrap installed. Once you have booted up into KK successfully, simply install Safestrap v3.72. Then open the app and hit "install recovery".

You should then reboot (using normal Reboot menu NOT Safestrap), and upon that, you should see the Safestrap splash screen.

You are correct, I had my mind on the upgrading process from 3.65 to 3.71, which is the WRONG process for updating to NC2.

My apologies [MENTION=5303532]terryfiedxda[/MENTION] for the incorrect info, and thanks to [MENTION=3545122]mwshows[/MENTION] for the correction.

Thank you for the help. I didn't realize flashing Beans' MJE ROM would wipe all of my slots and ROM installs so I didn't bother with backing up (stupid me) and I would rather not have lost my existing installs, but at least I'm up and running again. I still have no idea why it screwed up in the first place and not given me the SS splash screen or home screens even though SS was still loading and completely functional, but I'm up now and all is right with the world again. Thanks to az_biker and mrshows and xxperrin for all of the help.

I'd like to pose the question again about reverting the emoji / emoticons / smileys in Hangouts back to the standard set.

As I've found in my research so far, it seems that Samsung had included "color emoji" available through their keyboard on some devices with 4.3, and it appears to have taken over Hangouts as well in 4.4.

Through some hellish combination of failed attempts (renaming fonts to *.ttfbak... messing around in the Font Installer of ROM Toolbox Pro, etc)... I've only succeeded in screwing it up more, losing the color emoji and I'm now stuck with standard line versions of them.

Can anyone PLEASE help me? I'd at least like to get the color emoji back and then figure out a way to make them bigger, since I've changed my DPI to 320 and the emoji are way too small to be entertaining.

Thanks in advance!

Set Partition?

Hey guys,

So I am running into a problem I never have before. I followed all the steps and I have flashed in Odin before, but when I try to, Odin gets stuck at "Get PIT for mapping.." and the message will say Set Partition, and nothing happens and it fails. Now I find I can't flash anything at all in Odin, with the same problem. I even tried to use the .pit file and use the Re-Partition selection but same result.

Does anyone know what else I can try or if there is a fix for this? I'm stuck at 4.3 and I can't figure out how to go to KK. I have JB6 rom on it, so Kies recognizes it and it wont update through that either (going to NC4 and losing root). So nothing, rooted or unrooted are working. I've tried both Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09 and it's the same in both. There has to be something to do for this and why it gets stuck here.

Please please, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RomsWell:
Do u have re partiton checked? If u do uncheck it. Or just take a screeny of odin right before u click flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] :
This may have been answered already but the official NC4 is available now. Would definitely stay away if you want to keep root and be able to roll back to 4.3.

I rebooted my phone today and it went into a boot loop can't boot into safe mode and don't have any recovery installed is my only option to revert back to 4.3 with odin and start all over again?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Grompy:
Not into download now hold volume down + home + power when it boots into it go ahead and hit volume down to cancel download mode and it should boot up fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gPhunk:
This sounds like something I did to. When rebooting, did you click "reboot to recovery"? If so that is not currently supported in KK as I understand ad it causes a bootloop. The way I got around it was I pulled the battery and then held down the power key, vol down, and (edit)HOME key to boot to download mode. You will get a message saying something about flashing a custom ROM blah blah. Press the down arrow key and you should boot back into your Rom. At least it worked for me without having to Odin back. Hope that helps!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nitronet:
Tried that, no good. Phone actually gets to the lock screen then reboots about 3 seconds later. Driving me nuts, and have no idea why it happened.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Grompy:
Ouch :( sounds like something got overwritten /changed /corrupted. Your only option might just be odin. You don't have safestrap installed?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nitronet:
No I'm dumb, no safestrap, figured all was well and uninstalled it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Grompy:
Without knowing specifically what might of caused it, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe someone else has an idea. You might try flashing a modem. Maybe a cache will get cleared that is causing the problem. Not sure if you can run adb commands while in download mode, but that might be another possible way to change some things to try and fix the situation. Most likely you'll need to odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Have u tried flashing the firmware again in odin. Idk...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
NO worries, just Odin MJE and re root (use kingo 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 check ROOT link in my sig), install SS 3.65

Then start the KK NC2 update process again. Maybe 30-45min tops and you're back in the game :)

No worries about doing dumb stuff. As I was doing the update to KK the first time, I was writing each step for a tutorial and missed FLASH NC2, and went right to reboot into DOWNLOAD... Nothing for me to boot into. So I started back at MJE in Odin.

Think of all the practice you're getting :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] xxperrin:
LOL...I did EXACTLY that just the other day and I've gone back and forth probably about 5 or 6 times for various reasons. That IS an important step!

Device Not Recognized

I am rooted and using MJ3. I followed the instructions and my computer will not recognize the Note 3 in order to flash the firmware. I was using a USB 2.0 connection. I tried reinstalling my drivers to no avail. Can I use a USB3 connection? After I rebooted back into my Cleanrom ROM, My USB 2 connection would not be recognized but when I plugged the USB 3, It recognized and installed all the drivers. After 5 minutes of inactivity, it defaulted to usb2 connection which worked. When I plugged back in the usb2 cable, still unrecognized.

Any advice?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tttuning:
I flashed this back when it was leaked and instlled so many custom themes and system ui tweaks that if I try and flash a new theme it wont work correctly and I loose my notification drawer..... can I just reflash this and get back to stock 4.4.2 with keeping all my data????
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
Technically to save your data you would be dirty flashing and that's inviting issues.

As much as a pain as it can be, I'd recommend you do a clean install and see if your issue goes away.

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] fletch33:
havent really received an answer to this and maybe there isnt one but:

when NC2 leaked out we very quickly had a Stock Root install available but that hasnt been the case with NC4 so i wonder did NC4 create more barriers than NC2 did since we havent seen a release?

just curious :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Az Biker:
I do know that NC4 has an incremented bootloader so there is no going back to 4.3. So at least in that respect it's more restrictive and likely more difficult to rework.

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mjh68:
That's what I was thinking as well..I think the devs are being cautious releasing anything because a lot of people won't read and will flash without realizing the consequences.

Anyone that is on NC4 is stuck there for now. No going back if they aren't happy with it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pmt223:
It just wont move off Set Partition, and Get PIT for Mapping. Any help here from anyone would be much obliged. :good:

I have the S-Flip Case made by Spigen. When I'm using this wrong and I have the case closed the home button does not work. The only way I can get the screen to turn on in s flipmode is to hit the power button. Is that a bug with this particular rom at this point? Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a setting somewhere that I am missing? Thank you in advance so far I'm enjoying this ROM.

Luckily, it doesn't really ever get started and doesn't soft brick the phone or anything. But yeah same exact result. It's like something is really preventing it from ever getting truly started with the flashing process.

I tried on another windows pc, but it wouldn't even recognize the phone with drivers installed, etc, so that one is a problem of itself. I have a mac as well, but I can't and don't understand heimdall.

So I decided to play around with the AT&T Safestrap and I'm able to make a backup of 4.4.2 in the stock slot and restore it in ROM slot 1 or stock without any issues. Now I can start removing more bloat without any fear of bricking and having to Odin back to stock MJE again.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I tried that as well and it would no work with them on the extsdcard, it kept saying the folder is not writable. I moved them into internal storage and it worked fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Borderpatrol1987:
That may be due to the new SD card permissions. Try making a backup of a random file so it can "write" to it, and see if that works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] R-1 Rider:
My backup is on the ext card as well, but I wasn't getting the not writable error. The backup folder just wouldn't stick. When I installed Kit Kat, I Odined back to MJE and did a clean install, so maybe that had some effect.

Either way, at least you got your backups back. :good:

There may be a quicker more short cut way, but this will remove everything NC2 related.

Just follow the 'how to root note 3' and 'Odin' links in my sig.

Remember DO NOT TAKE VZW OTA NC4

NC4 is incremented so you can NOT go back to 4.3 as you can with NC2 LEAK
