[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mi7chy:
Been happy with stock 4.3 with FoxFi WIFI tethering without root. Started getting the OTA nag this morning and even after force stopping SDM it would restart itself and resume the OTA download. Ended up getting the latest Samsung drivers from Verizon and rooted with Kingoapp 1.18 (do Google search and get direct from source). Also had USB Debugging enabled, Verify apps disabled and Unknown sources temporarily allowed. Root worked on first try then used Titanium Backup to freeze SDM to stop the OTA nag.

I've had half the dl speed and a worse signal strength since going to kk. I would probably go back to jb if there was a way.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] BlastTyrantKM:
I'm having the opposite experience. It was a bit rough at first, but after the update I did a full factory reset and everything has been perfect since then.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bigdad1963:
I started from scratch too, & kept it for a couple of weeks and even tried a couple of the ROMS. I must just have "one of those rare phones" that I've read about as I've worked my way through ics and jellyb. Anyways, I'm back on JB and am really enjoying the Eclipse ROM and the only thing I'm missing from kk is the camera icon on the lock screen (and I'm pretty sure there's an exposed mod to workaround that). I'm sure I'll try again with Lemon drop (Licorice?, Lemonade?). As usual (Everybody), thanks for the great feedback. I love this community!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mikeyk101:
I followed the directions of the OP completely but every morning, when checking the phone, I kept getting a software update error message. I saw in another thread that it is a good idea to also freeze SDM with Titanium Backup. I don't have that and didn't want to purchase it just to freeze that one app. I found another program on Google Play that is free. It is called App Quarantine Root/Freeze. With that app, I was able to freeze SDM and so far no more update error notifications.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thevegasbomb:
I wish I would have seen this!..I dodged it for a bit but was trying to reboot when I accidentally hit the update...and now I don't know what to do..I really only got this phone to root it!..is there anything I can do?..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ginfest:
Thanks for the guide and tips here. I found some of the files mentioned and couldn't figure out where the others were until I realized that I had already flashed the NC2 KK ROM and the dev had removed the Verizon update crap! Anyway, my new Note 3 is all rooted and under m control, not Verizon's ;)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tjmethod:
Hi thanks for the great guide- the ota notification started coming at me rapid fire- I almost thought vzw was going to juice it to my phone automatically.

The only thing I encountered is that the small change in step 3 is that in my phone there is no LocalFotaClient.apk- it is LocalFota.apk (no client)- so I just renamed that as LocaFota.apk.bak along with FWUpgrade.apk.bak.

So am I on the right track?

Thamks again.

No worries. It's all about the community. I still have a Note 3 with 4.3 on it because I want to maintain the SD card functionality.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] older gentleman:
When you say go to step 2 to rename the file, where do I go to do that? I don't have a file that is named that. Do I need to use USB to desktop to change or what.

Note 3 4.4.2

I'm suppose to be rooted but cannot remove SDM or turn it off. So darn tired of the continuous lollipop update trying to push through. Please keep in mind that I need this explained as simply as possible. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] straykat:
Is your phone rooted already? I would assume it is...

You should be able to find the files mentioned in the original post with ES Explorer (can get from the Play Store).... then do what is recommended. That's probably one easy way to accomplish it. - You need to be rooted to do so however. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] halx:
So, the new update from Verizon is here again. But the instruction is probably obsolete.

Step 1 is OK. Deleted the ~350M update zip.

Step 2 is OK. Renamed the file.

Step 3. There are no any .apks in the /system/app/ on my rooted Note 3 with Android 5.0 anymore. But I've found the LocalFota folder with the LocalFOTA.apk in it and the ARM folder. Renamed both. No trace of the FWUpgrade.apk though.

Used some other "guides" and have the "Security Policy Updates SPD_v2_" and "System Updates (Samsung SDM) apps frozen as well.

Is that good enough?
[Verizon LG G2] Danokan:
Screwed my phone up. Took me 16 hours to finally figure out how to get it back.

Unbricked backed to stock and then rooted.

So right now I sit at

4.22

VS98010B

ROOTED

I tried Beanstalk 4.4. It messed my phone up to the point it was unworkable.

Then I tried a debloated 24a stock rom.. and couldn't get it to load.

So.. I am looking for a simple ROM.

Or maybe I can just stay where I am?

Suggestions?
[Verizon LG G2] Dri94:
Is not the roms, it's you. Is follow the instructions in the thread cm11 based on 24A thread. Then feel free to flash any rom you want
[Verizon LG G2] nowetdio:
Or follow xdabbeb's instructions, which imo is much simpler
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Bottom line is you need to have the same version bootstack on your phone as the rom you're flashing. Any stock KitKat or variant needs the 24A bootstack, Beanstalk needs 24A also. The other AOSP's vary, read the OP's on them thoroughly.
[Verizon LG G2] Danokan:
That's why I said

KEEP IT SIMPLE :D

Thanks guys...

Man..The LGG2 is much more complicated than my old Sprint Evo LTE.

I started reading into some of the roms and was saying HUH?

Will be looking more into the guides.

Thanks again!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
Hello. So gmail and the play store stopped syncing over LTE and HSPA randomly this morning.

I restored a backup from 5/9 earlier today and no luck - same issue persists.

I am on the stock rom, with root. No busybox or other mods like xposed. Twrp recovery.

Any suggestions? Syncs over wifi just fine, but not on Tmobile's lte or hspa even with full service. Other people in my office are not having this issue with their android devices and are also tmobile users.

Thanks in advance!!

i had it happen to me, for about 90 minutes. i had data, everything else worked. a few minutes ago i connected to wifi, and it started working. i went off wifi back to mobile, and it stayed working. i think it was purely a google issue :)

it seems that my "fix" of connecting to wifi, check if working, then going back to network works for others as well.

Hmm i cant get that fix to work. Its like as soon as Im off wifi, gmail and the store dont sync.

I own a Nexus 5 not rooted. Randomly today all the major Google apps have stopped loading completely. It happened after I was talking on the phone.

Introduction

A server (not necessarily a Web server) is acting as a gateway or proxy to fulfil the request by the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) to access the requested URL. This server received an invalid response from an upstream server it accessed to fulfil the request.

**This usually does not mean that the upstream server is down (no response to the gateway/proxy), but rather that the upstream server and the gateway/proxy do not agree on the protocol for exchanging data.** Given that Internet protocols are quite clear, it often means that one or both machines have been incorrectly or incompletely programmed.

The Moto G is now able to be reconfigured for Page Plus. Any word if a Boost, Verizon or etc. (CDMA) model can be set to use TracFone. I understand there is a limitation with the serial number. Can this be worked around with a 'donor phone' (an old TracFone)?

Boost Mobile phones can be unlocked. Does this affect use with TraceFone? Does anyone have a Boost Moto G they'd be willing to test input the IMEI in the BYOD system to check it?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fordcan:
Try this (hope works) and do search before you post next time..

To set ur ringstones to run from Storage Card

Place all your downloaded ringtones from internal memory to storage card. Usefull for our small/ciput Mini memory.

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory registry key

Default value: "\Windows\Rings\"

Change it to: "\Storage Card\<your preferred directory>\" (Note that "\" at the end is extremely important!!!)

Place those ringtones into \Storage Card\<your preferred directory>\
