hello,

I'm using leaked 4.4.2 odex rom,

and I just noticed that when I'm connected to 3g network, my phone doesn't seem to be able to use the data. I can make the call, so I don't think the network was down. it is just the data that I can't use.

Screenshot is what I'm getting when I'm on 3g network (got it from doing *#0011#)

my current setting of mobile network is "Global", and I haven't done anything with the network at all..

can someone please help me with this?

Tutorial for quick unlock

First things first :-

1. What is bootloader?

> Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before android loads up. Bootloaders usually contain several ways to boot the OS kernel and also contain commands for debugging and/or modifying the kernel environment.

2. Benefits of unlocking bootloader?

> You can flash custom kernels/ROMs.

> You can ALWAYS root your device. (compelling, eh?)

> You can flash alpha builds of newer firmware ( generally newer android version ) which is under testing and not meant for end consumers.

3. Disadvantages of unlocking bootloader?

> You may void your warranty.

> You may loose some proprietary vendor software such as Bravia Engine, Download Music info etc. due to removal of DRM security keys.

> OTA updater may refuse to update your device and pop up a 'Device's software modified' message.

4. Can i unlock my bootloader?

> Go to dialer

> Type *#*#7378423#*#*

> Service info > Configuration

> Rooting status :

"Bootloader unlock allowed" - You can unlock your bootloader

"Bootloader unlock not allowed" - You cannot unlock your bootloader

Unlocking bootloader:

You can unlock bootloader in two ways:

1. Official way(Instructions Included)

2. Flashtool(Recommended)

1. Generate your unlock key by entering your IMEI. (To check your IMEI - *#06# )

2. After you have the key, use flashtool or cmd prompt to unlock. (easy?)

3. To verify, check rooting status :

"Bootloader unlock done" - Congrats, you've successfully unlocked your bootloader.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp_alvarez:
First of all, I'm not interested in actually going from 4.4.2 to 4.3, I just want to understand why it is only possible on the N900W8.

So, if I get it right, when you update to android 4.4.2 you also flash the new bootloader, which doesn't allow you to go back to the old one and is not compatible with android 4.3. Which makes me wonder:

Why doesn't 4.4.2 work with the older bootloader?

Why doesn't 4.3 work with the newer bootloader?

Since I have root, why I can't just overwrite the new bootloader with the old? Is that particular partition/block/whatever of the eMMC write-protected or the part of the bootloader that needs updating is not on the eMMC?

Why the N900W8 can be downgraded?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
You need to read around in the threads related to knox and development probably starting here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642207

but as a huge summary of things:

- the boot sequence is secure in all high-end Samsung phones, meaning not any code can be just booted; the bootloader itself is the part most restricted; restrictions are not necessarily identical between Exynos and Qualcomm versions but the idea is the same, the parts of the bootloader must be all cryptographically signed (or similar)

- apparently there are some special version-related restrictions added on top of that by Samsung - the goal is of course to provide a secure environment where knox security is enforced (and can not be circumvented by downgrading to a previous version with a known security bug) and enterprise customers that pay heavy money for that security know that their data is not easy to extract from a phone

- yes, certain parts of EMMC are write-protected before the code-flow leaves the secure bootloader sequence; those regions can only be written from bootloader code (Odin, or maybe some regions could be written from stock recovery, but it must be stock - I think that problem is seen when writing modem files for instance in Mobile Odin Pro).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp_alvarez:
I did, but didn't find any answers. Lots of people trying to downgrade, to flash older bootloaders, etc but nothing explaining what changed as to make 4.4.2 require a new bootloader or why that bootloader is incompatible with 4.3.

Maybe I've been using the wrong terms in my searches, or I'm searching in the wrong place. If you got any link that explains what happened (or points me on where to find that info), please do share it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp_alvarez:
Thanks for the link, I started reading that topic but did not find out what made 4.4.2 incompatible with the older bootloader. Will read the full thread and also the other threads in the development section, thanks.

But, in short, the incompatibility of 4.4.2 is because the samsung bootloader explicitly refuses to load 4.4.2, or some changes in 4.4.2 made it incompatible with the previous boot process? If it is the later, then all devices that were updated to 4.4.2 also had to update their bootloaders, right?

Also, even with the security checks it loads a kernel that isn't necessarily signed right? Then isn't it possible to patch the 4.4.2 kernel to be compatible with the boot process of 4.3 and/or to report like 4.3 so it runs with the older bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
It IS an incompatibility created on purpose. And yes, all "normal" (N900, N9005) devices that were updated to 4.4.2 have updated bootloaders (the exception is N900W8 and maybe some of the other carrier-specific devices that have bootloaders controlled by themselves and not by Samsung). However there is one extra element - the bootloader itself can not be downgraded since there is 'somewhere' a list that actively prevents that.

On top of that you have the knox warranty flag - each time a kernel or recovery that is not signed is detected that flag is set.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Hmm, that should be something "doable" as long as you have root in the primary 4.4.2 boot environment, probably that could work in a safestrap-like approach (as long as the Samsung 4.4.2 kernel does not specifically prohibit that somehow, which i doubt). Eventually look after the safestrap threads and ask there.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lithboy:
I'm using Agile Messenger 3 Beta and although it's a full-function product, it locks up my Wizard either when it's asleep or when it wakes up (it never wakes up, but the LEDs still flash).

It might be in conjunction with having it overclocked to 240Mhz, but it's really useless when you have to have to reset your device after using your IM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kull:
Happens to me too

Yeah that happened to me tool. Have switched to Imov no problem till now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomhsx:
I'm experiencing the same issue without overclocking, so it appears to be Agile-specific. I've had this happen with a few different ROMs, as well, so I think it's entirely an Agile problem. I don't recall the functionality differences between the Beta and Alpha versions, but I'm going to try a downgrade to Alpha as I don't recall ever having this problem before I upgraded to Summitter's AKU2.3 ROM (which would be about the time I switched to the new Agile messenger). This is a horrifically annoying problem, as I have to check my phone ever few minutes to check whether it's really sleeping or has slipped into another Agile-induced coma.

If anyone has found any workaround for this problem, please feel free to share. I'll post back after I work with the Alpha version for a day or two.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] markgamber:
Agile is buggy, period. Unless you have the source code and a good working knowledge of C++, the workaround is to get rid of Agile and use something else. Imov is available for free, last I looked, and there's the included MSN app, that old AIM app and, if you believe that you get what you pay for, there's IM+ and Verichat, one which many people swear by.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kull:
Error message

Yeah I used to get an error message with the older O2 ROM, at least the device never locked up. But after upgrading to the newer ROM it was a different story, device used to lock-up with only the LED light blinking. Had to hard reset once a day. It is a good prog though except for this irritating problem. IMOV uses Jabber servers and doesn't always connect to Yahoo! If anybody has any solution would love to hear.... :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomhsx:
Well I've been using the Alpha version for a few days and the phone hasn't locked up once. Definitely a problem with the Beta version...

If anyone else experienced my pain, you can still download the Alpha version at their web site. To be honest I haven't even noticed any feature differences or bugs that would bother me, except that it takes freezes momentarily when GPRS is suspended for phone calls. If you can deal with the 5-10 second freeze after phone calls, it's a good switch. Otherwise, get used to your phone coma or ditch Agile altogether.
