Great Instructions Impossible downloads

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but, Instructions seem straight forward. Is there any other site to get all the files. The last 2 safestrap required files will not download no matter how patient I am or how many times I try. Sites are extremely slow or links not working

Problem with 4G LTE Speeds after updating

After successfully updating to KK and using it for over a week I've noticed that my 4G LTE DL and UL speeds have noticeably decreased. I had no problems during the update process and everything else is working fine so I'm not sure what the problem is.

I was wondering if I flashed the ROM and NC2 Firmware/Bootloader again might it help? Has anybody else experienced this problem? Is there something else that might help? I'm really at a loss as to why this happened.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
If you're on NC2 leak, flashing the NC4 modem/boot loop fix is fine. Whether or not you'll get big benefit from it is questionable and debatable. Try it and see how it goes :D

Well, finally...success!

Question/Problem

I know that this doesn't necessarily pertain to this ROM thread, but the last thing that I did was install this....

The installs on everything worked flawlessly, however, my dumb@$$ went to reboot, and in the selection screen, where it says, "reboot, hot reboot, recovery, and shut down", I accidentally hit the recovery selection. I have to admit, that I was doing this in the car, so yes, both stupid and dangerous... It is now continuously cycling, saying "recovery booting" in blue at the top left hand corner, and then doing nothing else. I pulled the battery, the SD card, and the SIM card, but I cannot get it to stop. I really hope that I didn't brick my phone. Someone PLEASE help me ASAP! It is both my personal and work phone. I am sitting at a Fed Ex Office center right now composing this. PLEASE!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Don_Pachuco:
Unfortunately, nothing works. It just goes to the first line in the script it is trying to run, and just keeps going. Recovery booting....restart...recovery booting....restart, over an over and over.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Don_Pachuco:
After banging it on the counter a couple of times at work, I got it to reboot. Next question...Why does the rom not have Verizon voice mail?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bradleyem:
Most of these ROMs are "clean" ROMs, so the devs get rid of apps that they don't use. You can install the NC4 Verizon Visual Voicemail apk from here:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358542866

Copy it to your system/app folder and make sure permissions are rw-r-r and reboot your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Don_Pachuco:
I installed this apk and it does not work. All I get is:

Sorry, we're having trouble setting up your service. Please try again later. If you still can't set it up, contact customer service at 800-922-0204 and tell the operator the error code is 9009.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bradleyem:
When you install the new version, Verizon has to reprovision your Voicemail. It takes about 5 minutes. Just close the VVM app, wait, then run the app again. It will guide you through setting up VVM again. You won't lose your messages.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Don_Pachuco:
Tried about 20 times since last night. Same thing.... Should I do a wipe and start all over from scratch?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bradleyem:
The message "Sorry, we're having trouble setting up your service. Please try again later. If you still can't set it up, contact customer service at 800-922-0204 and tell the operator the error code is 9009"

is from Verizon, and seems to be an issue with voicemail provisioning. I doubt that wiping and starting over will help, as I don't believe that its an issue with the app itself. Try calling the number and giving them the error code. Hopefully you will be able to talk with someone who will be able to reset your voicemail. The first time that I ran the VVM app I got the same message. I just waited and then the next time I logged in I had to set it back up (chose a password, choose whether to subscribe to premium VVM or free VVM, etc.). Then my messages downloaded (with free VVM you're limited to 25 messages AFAIK, so I had to delete some old messages).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Don_Pachuco:
I called them, talked to 2 tiers of tech support, and completely useless
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bradleyem:
Sorry...I was afraid of that typical Verizon..

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

One thing to try, although I wouldn't hold my breath, as I still think that its an issue on Verizon's end is to go to Settings>Application Manager>All>Voice Mail and clear data and cache.

Safe Strap v3.71

By mistake i installed safestrap v3.72 while still on jelly bean and i can no longer boot into recovery. everything still works fine except when i go into safe strap and try to uninstall/ reinstall recovery and boot into it i get nothing. It goes straight into my current rom (eclipse) is there anyway i can fix it?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milski65:
Did you try installing your earlier version of ss and enabling it? I've gone from 3.65 to 3.71 by just opening apk and replacing it. Don't know if you can go down one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rs32:
i uninstalled 3.72 and installed 3.71 but still cannot boot into recovery. it shows the note 3 logo and then straight into the rom! no safestrap screen.

Anyone that has used BajaROM have any idea how to change the battery indicator and color? I downloaded the file, but cannot get it to work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milski65:
When you installed 371 did you click install recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rs32:
Yes i did that and it said installation successful.

The safe system is Not active and when i click on "Reboot to Recovery" it basically just reboots right into my rom.

P.s. i am running eclipse on stock slot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] milski65:
If battery pull doesn't get it to ss screen I'm out of ideas. Not sure if running Eclipse in Stock slot would make a difference. May try 3.65 ss, which I hear is more stable. Out of ideas otherwise. Sorry.

It worked!!!

1) uninstalled safestrap 3.72

2) removed the apks from the folder

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Don_Pachuco:
Any idea why, with any version of SafeStrap, I cannot boot into recovery through it? Is it because it was VZW's stock 4.4.2? I mean it's rooted, safestrap shows "recovery installed", but when I hit reboot into recovery, it just restarts like normal.

I got the original one working again, minus the VZW stock voicemail. I did add a different visual voicemail app to it to get by with. I can deal with it. THANKS everyone for all the helpful comments.

Stuck in bootloop...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

I have recently run into problems with my Note 3 since going through this rooted kit kat update a few months ago from the first page of this post. After recently experiencing terrible lag and still having connection issues for months (phone signal and data connections) I decided to do a Factory Data Reset (FDR) to clear things out and start fresh. Well at first the phone would not reset! I did it about 5 times and each time the phone would just sit saying "shutting down" but would sit there like that for an hour or more until I would pull the battery. Today, I tried it again and the phone seemed to reset but then took me to a black screen with the Samsung logo and with blue writing at the top that says "recovery booting", then a few seconds later it keeps restarting and puts the same writing on the screen...basically like a bootloop. I can't follow the instructions here exactly like I did the first time because I can't even get into recovery now to "wipe" anything or to install the odexed or deodexed files through recovery (and I MUST have root for many of my most important apps to run).

So what's the best way to at least get my phone back up and running again on kk and w/root? Since I have already performed all of those steps in the first post about a couple of months ago, is it even necessary to do them all again or can I just reflash the kit kat file in odin and still keep root?

Please help me out with some pointers please (ASAP) because I am now without my device when I normally use it for many things all day! Thanks.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
If you flash the stock image, you'll be on the stock image.

If you flash Alliance build 2, you'll be on Alliance build 2.

You can install either during the 'cust rom' step.

Hi, i just bought a new note 3 off amazon, can I safely assume it will ship with android 4.3? and if so, please correct me if i am wrong, but these are the general steps for "upgrading" to the latest stable release of jasmine rom:

1 - towel root

2 - safestrap

3 - WIPE all

4 - load rom

JB 4.3 and current KK 4.4.2 NC2 leak can be reverted to oem stock via flashing MJE tar in Odin.

If you take VZW KK ota most believe reverting to 4.3 and possibly oem stock will not be possible.

Seeing how I am on the edge program I shouldn't have to deal with all the bloat on this phone seeing how I will end up paying full price for it. That would be the main reason for me to root the note 3.

"Verify That You Are Running A CUSTOM 4.3 Rom AND Using SafeStrap 3.71 or earlier

- Boot into stock slot (SS 3.71 or earlier)

- Wipe Stock Slot "Swipe To Factory Reset" (I also wiped INT DATA for fresh start)

- Install De-Odexed or Odexed NC2 zip or Baja Rom KKv1 (from sdcard) (Keep your eyes open for additional 4.4.2 Roms)

If you don't know whether or not you're running a custom rom, I strongly suggest you rethink going through this process. (said with sincere, respect)

If you want to continue, read on :

Custom Rom: settings>about phone>build number (will likely say a custom name, not just a bunch of random numbers

Safestrap: pow off phone. When powering up, you should have a screen with 'Recovery' and 'Continue' choices (if not, no safestrap) if so, choose recovery and version should be at top of recovery screen
