CM11 nightlies were not correcting many bugs, was on 042714-nightly. So I took the plunge into nc2.

I just put all three zips on extsd (32gb), and flashed with "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltetmo-4.3".

Flashed "hltevzw_root_deodex_nc2.zip", wiped, then flashed kernel,

"flash-vzw-de-4.4-kernel-v1.0.zip", then flashed fixes,

"flash-tw44-sys-files-fixes-v1.0.zip"

then rebooted, and wait...

It took a long time to startup, it sat on the Verizon splash for what seamed to be five minutes. Then the language screen popped up, and I stepped through setup.

I didn't have incoming or out going calls, rebooted, no joy. Then switch to global settings, and it worked. Switched back to normal CDMA/LTE/EVDO and phone still works OK.

Lock screen is greyed out, but I use swipe anyway.

You Tube, and saved videos worked OK.

Titanium Backup wouldn't read my backups from extSD, but after a reboot it let me get to the backups.

It's running pretty smooth, so far no FC's or annoyances that I was having on CM11 with caller echo, occasional buzzing.

Thanks guys!

Beans has the NC2 modem available on his firmware thread. Time to break out Odin again.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524572

EDIT! : Tried this and it Soft bricked my phone. Can't get into recovery and get the "System software not authorized by verizon" screen. Tried to Odin back to MJE but no dice.

Might just be user error, butI have to get to work so can't mess with it until later.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
I've seen ppl complainig with lower dbm on this modem.

Can you guys comment?

TIA
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:
Please report back. I am looking to update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
I updated to the new modem firmware without issue.

Make sure you put the modem firmware in the AP slot in Odin.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Try flashing TWRP again in Odin. Hopefully that will get you going again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TSman74:
I think I bricked it, unfortunately. I can get into Download mode but it no longer says Developer Edition. Instead I get this: "UDC Start" in red type.

I tried flashing TWRP but it fails. I also tried flashing Beans' DevEdition_P900v_MJE_StockRestore.tar along with the PIT but won't get past the Samsung splash screen. I think I have me a retail N3 if I want to flash the stock firmware... :(

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
I'm really sorry for your misfortune. Do you have any idea what went wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TSman74:
I did it before I had Coffee?! :p

Thanks cam30era. Don't know what happened. I have used odin many times. But I do understand there is always a risk with these things. I'll keep looking for a solution. I doubt Samsung will be much help.

You updated to nc2 modem on dev edition with no issues? I'm looking to update but being sure since buddy had a issue.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] TSman74:
Should be possible to flash modems with no problems. And also revert back. I think mine is an isolated issue. I must have done something wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
This is correct. I'm on a dev edition phone with the nc2 modem installed with no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
Any diff in the dbm signal reception?

Do you have aws in your area?

I am hesitant to update for now.

Are you on 4.3 rom or on 4.4?

I would like to know if beans tar has just the modem in it and nothing more.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
I didn't really make note of the dBm before the upgrade so I can't speak to that.

I have AWS signal at work (not at home). Seems to work fine in both locations. Speed test was similar before and after.

I've only been using the modem firmware for about 12 hours so far though. May be too early to give a solid verdict on it.

I'm on 4.4 ROM. The beans tar is just the modem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
You probably had a bad download. There should be no issues flashing any modem long as it is for the N3...DE or Retail should not matter.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Caveman419:
I also updated my modem to the NC2 baseband with no issues on my DE Note 3. I came from out of the box stock before I rooted and flashed the Beans deodexed leak and both Hashcodes kernel and fix zip. The only issue I am having is the lock screen issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
Same here with the lock screen issue.

Since applying all of Hashcode's fixes the lock screen issue is the only issue I've had.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
Edit...had a derp moment.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] radionerd:
Lock Screen

My DE has two similar files in /system/build.prop I used Root Explorer to edit the file. Added "#" in front of "secuity.mdpp=None", save, then reboot. "#secuity.mdpp=None"

"security.mdpp.result=None" is OK as is without the #, (I tried it both ways and didn't notice any difference).

Thanks to [MENTION=2630797]oah2010[/MENTION] who found this file, and DavidFlory for posting it.

I downloaded a free 7 minute short HD movie from the playstore and it played OK. "The Polar Bears". Video is OK here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
Just wanted to confirm that adding editing the build prop to read #security.mdpp does indeed fix the lock screen issues. :)

Wonder if it's a permissions problem with ExtSD? Can you temporarily change media save location to internal sd?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
It is set to internal I've had this issue on literally every custom Rom except CM 11 and Eclipse and stock odin mje for DE works. Downloaded or streamed content do the same thing completely clean flashes wiping everything reformatting internal and external always results in play movies looping a small portion of play.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
FWIW: I flashed NC2 modem on my DE and had no service. Running CM11, but I doubt that matters. Back to mje modem and all is good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
Did a similar thing on beans6. Made the phone unstable. Back to mje radio. All good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:
I flashed the NC2 modem on my DE running the deoxed NC2 lead and it is working fine.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
Deodexed NC2 is 4.4.2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Caveman419:
That fixed the issue of the options being greyed out and unable to choose them. I still have Unlock Effect & Ink Effect greyed out. I just hate seeing that lock ring on the swipe lock screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:
Deodexed NC2, 4.4.2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
Not sure I know what you mean by this. Could you post a SS?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
Odd... I have one of those grayed out...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] radionerd:
OK,

I don't use this feature, but once I clicked on Unlock effect, selected Ripple, the Ink effect color was selectable.

Note; If live wallpaper is set on the lock screen, the Ink effect is automatically off
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cam30era:
FWIW: NC2 modem appears to not be compatible with AOSP ROMs on our device. dhuffard81 flashed it and had same result as me, ie no signal.

Or maybe a new modem must be flashed while running a TW ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
Just wanted to note - I went back to the MJE baseband.

I didn't have any signal strength issues with the newer baseband, it just didn't seem to want to roam between towers very well... I was getting a 1x signal in an area that I know has 4G.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
It seems that the new baseband does not make this better.

I will stay on MJE. NC2 made my phone unstable. I was not able to do much with it until I reverted to MJE.

Waiting for beans to drop his rom in 4.4.2. His release 6 it is one suit my rom needs for now.

Appreciate your support [MENTION=1759016]stargzrr11[/MENTION]

How do I extract the modem from my stock dev firmware. So if I install kk I can use it. This modem by far is the best I've ever had. With all the problems I'm kinda afraid to try kk.

Sent From My SM-N900V Developer Addition
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
I believe you can back it up in TWRP.

Regardless, with the dev edition, as long as you only flash the ROM and the kernel/fixes, it won't replace the baseband.

Right now, while i'm using TW NC2, I have NON-HLOS, modem, persist and.. I think something else flashed from the NC2 leak.

Yes.

and make sure in twrp you have backeup everything. EFS . All . It did save my phone sevral times. You can always restore

kk 2.4.

I've had better luck with hashcode's kernel, but that may just be me.

I was getting 2 or 3 random reboots a day with leankernel. Down to 1 a day with hashcode's.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
What Rom? & dev edition too right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
Stock nc2 and yep, Dev edition.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] stargzrr11:
As long as you flash a kernel afterwards I think it would.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
Hmm now I see in Ricks thread to remove ss before flashing on de I'm so confused lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
If the ROM does not boot you can flash another one or restore. Have several zip handy on the SD.

I am waiting for beans to drop alliance. His beans6 is very stable and suits my needs. The two gui is not to my liking and exposed can do only that much.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
I got Ricks ready. I extracted and removed ss apk now I'll download tune other one and flash both in morning. What Rom you on?

I know Baja rom will not boot on the DE, I tried it. Ricks might, not sure.

I did use nc2 provided by beans. I prefer his beans 6 with colonel x kernel. It gives the experince I want.

Waiting for beans to release beans kk 4.4 based. His alliance for note2 looks very polished. Still have my note2 as backup.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
i wouldnt think so

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hashcode:
After 3-4 days my battery usage did get much better. However, I noticed that my data connection would sort of stall out without really any indication. A quick toggle to Air Plane mode would fix.

Work has been fairly busy, so I haven't had more time to check into the data stall.

I did get 1 reboot during that time as well.

Overall, not a bad experience tho. Others can weigh in on their experiences.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
I haven`t noticed anything odd for the most part it acts relatively normal other than the play movies issue seems fairly unremarkable. I will keep an eye out for data drops none so far.

Strangely it flashed for me fine. Using TWRP 2.7.0.0. Tmobile the one compatible with the 4.3 bootloader here http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltetmo-4.3.zip for that matter so does BigginsROM and Baja.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Runs pretty much like the rest
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
so ricks worked fine on your dev edition with TWRP 2.7.0.0? thats odd
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
Yup flashed fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dhufford81:
I loaded this ROM up for a buddy on the retail n3 and he is experiencing the same type of data stall issue you mentioned. I should have left him stock, now it's my headache because he won't stop *****ing about it lol smh.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
did you unzip ricks zip and pull out the ss apk?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
No why would I? Just because ss gets installed doesn't mean the recovery itself is installed. Although last week I tested ss along side of TWRP and both recoveries function perfectly simultaneously. The ss apk is harmless.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
Well in Ricks thread it was said to remove it before flashing. You just deleted the apk and continued using twrp?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
I just simply left it and continued using TWRP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oneandroidnut:
Hmm ok well I am trying tonight or is Ricks rom no better then hyper 7 4.3?

I'm actually running my own modifications on Beans deodex IMO they all run pretty good.

I actually ended up getting Baja rom to boot up. Had a bad download I guess. Anyway too I like stock with my own modifications the best. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
The only thing that bums me out is that every rom that shows set warranty bit: kernel at boot has some problem with Google play movies that causes some kinda loop back with widevine decoder preventing it from playing anymore than 8 or ten seconds. :( . The mje base for the DE, CM 11 or Nitro's rom are the only ones that do not have this issue for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
Yep same issue here.

Some have had no issues I have yet to figure out why the response is mixed:confused::confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Slight differences in hardware is the likely suspect. In solid state mfg, things happen even within a batch of components and are even more likely between batches and even even more likely between vendors. Lol

SM-N900V DE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
It's possible it's hardware related but I think it's something happening more at the kernel level and Google crappie drm ;We all received our DE direct from Samsung quite notably for some it wasn't timely so slight hardware changes are possible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
These are my thoughts as well...kernel related.

Another thing i notice is how bad pandora skips when streaming bluetooth audio. It is almost impossible to listen on 4.4.2, but 4.3 was tolerable...my Note2 never did it once.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
I will try on mine when I have time so far all other Bluetooth audio has been fine. Haven't made any use of Pandora.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
Yea it is only Pandora that skips...it does not do it for a while then will randomly start.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
I listened today bluetoothed to my beats pill not even as much as a single hiccup or skip. Is it possible you have some add block or something interfering with playback?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
Well I do run adfree by bigtincan, but I also am running the no ad unlimited skip hacked version of Pandora.

That being said I ran this exact setup on my Note 2 and it never skipped.

On my Note 3 is skipped once in a while on MJE 4.3, now on NC2 it skips like a CD that has had sand paper run across it

Edit*

I believe I figured it out...basically the issue is data speed. My Note 2 had better signal strength and would pull better data speeds around fringe areas.

The Note 3 imo had a little better LTE sensitivity on MJE compared to NC2. When I am in solid LTE coverage there is no skipping.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] abe_cedar:
So nc2 has lower dbm ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidstyle:
It seems to drop into 3g much easier then MJE. However I do not notice a big difference when I am in solid LTE range.

The dreaded handoff issue. I had similar issues since big red is updating to aws. All good now on mje. Staying on this radio .

Thanks [MENTION=4065904]droidstyle[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Thepooch:
The play movies issue is 100% kernel related. 1. Went back to MJE Deved odin flashed it. 2. Created a backup. 3. Flashed another Rom in TWRP that gave me the prompt at boot set warranty bit:kernel in yellow. 3. Confirmed that Google play movies was indeed not functioning. 4. Entered TWRP restored my boot image only!! from the MJE odin backup. Result no more set warranty bit:kernel at boot, and Google play movies and tv works perfect. I do have a suspicion that if the device can be fooled into thinking the kernel is stock that maybe these issues would never exist, but that`s only pure speculation. Rom`s affected by this defect literally all of them from this base http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2564720 with the exception of Eclipse. This also exists in the new NC2 for the Deved since we have to use a modified kernel at least for some of us. Other features affected: pin protection, screen mirroring, copy paste.

Hi Pooch
