Please help, I'm so stuck.

Hello, I'm sorry for the bother but I have searched everywhere for months since towelroot came out and I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. So, I have rooted my Verizon Note 3 SM-N900V NC4 with towelroot, installed busybox and safestrap. It will boot into safestrap just fine but when I try to install any custom rom like jellybeans or hyperdrive, it says "E: Unable to mount '/system'. It will eventually say that it was successful but when I go to reboot to says "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" Even when I try to wipe before installing, it wont wipe because it's unable to mount system. So I clicked on the "mount" box in safestrap and it will not mount system when in any rom slot. Although it will mount when I am in the stock rom slot. I did try and install jellybeans in the stock rom slot and it soft bricked my phone. I ended up having to Odin back to NC4. Also, sometimes when I reboot and to goes to the safestrap screen, it says "safestrap: Disabled" but sometimes it doesn't say disabled and it seems to be working just fine. I've tried installing a rom both ways, enabled and disabled, and in both cases, the same thing happens, Unable to mount to system. I would really appreciate any help that anyone could give me. Like I said, I've looked everywhere and tried everything that I could think of and everything that I could find that is out there but there has yet to be a solution that works for me. I could really use some help from someone smarter than me. Thank you to anyone who responds!

Thanks again,

Chris Hencz

I am having the same issue with my NEW note 3 running 4.4.2 NC4. My old note 3 has not issues.... just a cracked screen. did you find any solutions to this?

update, installed the NC2kernal and works fine
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Stranger_84:
Just curious how did you flash the nc2 kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DaPoets:
Used odin to flash it. Place the file in the AP section of odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Stranger_84:
No issues with tripping knox flashing the kernel ... A friend of mine wants me to root/ROM his phone but he is worried about knox(I could care less but he does) thanks for the response
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DaPoets:
Just follow the instructions and use the ROMs here and knox won't be tripped.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thevegasbomb:
Thank you very much!!!..I was about to trade in my note 3 for a moto x...sooooo glad I came across your thread!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tifford:
I just picked up a used Note 3, and it's on MJE

from what I'm seeing, there's no benefit to staying on MJE, and I should try to update to NC2.

Am I right? Is there any benefit to staying on MJE? I haven't activated it yet, but once I do, will it allow me to OTA to NC2 before offering me OTA to NC4? or do I need to find a way to Odin to NC2 from MJE?

advice would be appreciated :)

edit: sorry, forgot to mention that I intend to root/safestrap/custom roms, etc...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] the_rooter:
Hey guys I have the note 3 on edge and i dont plan on returning it. I love this phone. I towelroot and installed su on NC4 came with the phone. I installed safestrap NC2 version on the phone and it seems to install fine. Just to make sure it is compatible with this correct? and the only roms we can use is hyperdrive?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] the_rooter:
Anyone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] okoboji1:
OK I just rooted my note 3 and installed safestrap....I'm on nc4.... What is the next step to install custom Roms?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] the_rooter:
The only ROM possible to use is jasmine, unless downgrade kernal to nc2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] thevegasbomb:
is there any way i could get the zip/file?

im assuming if i flash it via odin, then i can finally flash the custom roms via safestrap and get past this blackscreen!?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] GreenGoblin227:
Keep getting failed install... Damn it.. Any help? Follwing the original post step by step...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] the_rooter:
You need busy box installed
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] GreenGoblin227:
Can we downgrade from NC4 to NC2/MJE to run the deodex beans build?

Finally broke the iphone and the work gave me a new replacement note 3 with the newest NC4 build. Currently attempting root/SS now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] the_rooter:
yes use odin 3.09 and use phone/pda slot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] GreenGoblin227:
is there a write up on how to do this?

so download the leaked md5, install it in odin using the phone as a pda?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] the_rooter:
Correct

This phone is currently not supported

saying that phone is not supported i have sm-n900v 5.0 official
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
I presume you mean Safestrap... Not Bootstrap. Safestrap doesn't work with Lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] nerdy8675309:
Crapola. Sorry for mixing those two up. Is there another way then?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] donc113:
If you are unlocked (bootloader) then TWRP works fine. It is a true recovery, unlike SafeStrap which is a "kinda" recovery.

The bootloader unlock is easy but does require a "spare" external SD card (in the SD slot above the SIM slot) [2GB or higher] because it will be overwritten when you run the unlock. Once unlocked you can put your normal external SD card back.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilbeef54:
OK so as you have noticed kit kat does NOT allow third party apps to write to the SD card, this is stupid, but lucky for us we have a fix IF you are rooted

we have 2 solutions

1) using root explorer or something similar go to

Quote:

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

and enter the permission that i have circled in red below (see attached) then it will work. Enter it so it looks EXACTALLY like it does below

2) the other option that MAY work is to go to the play store and download SDFix, that does the same thing (however myself and a few others are reporting that it isnt working as it is written)

big thanks to Mr Sam Epic for showing the fix, which came from Unknown Force in a SGS4 forum

****edit 4/19

had a few reports of SDFix not working, it didnt for me, i thought it was just a random error, what i did to fix it was to go into platform.xml and manually edit the permission so it looks exactally like the image below, i put in the extra return after the permission, there is not a logical reason why this fixed it, but it did

I gave this a try in Root Explorer. I have gone over it many times and I did everything correctly but now Titanium won't launch, Weatherbug won't load, and GAPPS fails everytime. I am using Odin to go back to stock now-- will try the other method.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nsane457:
After write to extsd is enabled, I would strongly suggest the Xposed Framework module Downloads2SD. It allows you to change default directories to the extsd. It seems to work for Chrome downloads as well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tehgyb:
Here's a weird one... I edited the file exactly the way it should be, worked fine... played with a few things, edited build prop screwing around having fun. Boot looped because oops. No problem, Odin to stock. Fresh stock build.

Rooted, Edited the platform.xml again exactly the way required, reboot. Even system apps won't write to SD. Couldn't even install XDA app lol

Odin again, root, edit the xml exactly the depicted way again. Still nothing can write to SD. Wtf.

Anyone have a stock or working platform.xml I can peek at? Something is screwy here lol

I have all the source on my Linux box but I'm nowhere near it, unfortunately.

I agree, I had issues with my S4 after moving to KK also with my new S5. And now with those of us on Verizon, we are lucky enough to have root:) Thanks to exposed you can start moving files around like before.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bodhisattvah:
Excellent! This worked on my N900V with 4.4.2 and root! (fix #1)

I thought my old file browser just wasn't reading root correctly, but with this, it's back to normal/pre OTA function. Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] psm321:
Could you please add to the instructions, for option 1 at least, to double-check the permissions on the file? (They should be 644 and root/root). Was helping my brother and just went through lots of problems (everything crashing) and turns out the editor changed the permissions (found the answer on another site where someone described the same symptoms). I'm also wondering whether the permissions also have something to do with why it seems to sometimes not work for people...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bluremi:
Just wanted to chime in and say that SDFix worked flawlessly the first time on my rooted SM-G900V.

All I did was root and then run this utility, installed nothing else at any point, not even SuperSU.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] radpp16:
NextApp SDFix works great with my stock rooted SG5. Verified with ttorrent.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tydiamond11:
One thing I have to say about this is when I did it i had issues with the camera app saving to extsd. So I changed it back after a lot of work on it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Hiro14:
Confirmed working. Thanks for the mod advice. Just make sure to make the edits exactly as shown in the image.

I tried the SDfix apk and it worked only on the root of the SD card. Any file structure past the root did not have rw access.

Now that I can write to my sd, I am noticing very poor speeds. We are talking like less that 1MB/s. I tested it with both large iso files and a bunch of small 30-300 kb files. Both tests are very slow. Any ideas on where to look to fix that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ryezen:
So I tried this and my ability to use the TextSecure app broke. I reverted back to the auto-created backup (thank you Root Explorer) of my platform.xml file, and it restored TextSecure functionality after a reboot. However, I have been unable to turn Bluetooth on since doing this. The only other change was updating to the latest release of Busybox this morning, which apparently was just released. Could this platform.xml file triggered some other actions upon rebooting that would cause Bluetooth problems?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] DopeShow:
You can also just use Folder Mount.apk and in the beginning while setting it up iT patches the external microsd and then anything and everything can read and write to the external micro sd. HIT THANKS IF YOU DIDNT ALREADY KNOW THIS..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xperia_c4_hater:
Thank you very much, evilbeef54! Lol, funny username, by the way. The first solution (editing platform.xml) did the trick for my Xperia C4 (E5303) running Android Version 5.1, Build number 27.2.A.0.155. I edited the file using Root Browser then RB Text Editor, and after a reboot Titanium Backup finally allowed me to save my backups to my external SD Card.

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to run some games on Retroarch, but I have some horrible frame rates and audio issues with the PSX and DS cores. Frame rates are around 30-40 and the audio is constantly popping. I'm running Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Cross, and Kingdom Heart 358/2 Days.

I'm sure there's some settings that need to be tweaked, any ideas?

I'm posting in this forum because I'm concerned the problem is specific to the G2. The phone should be powerful enough to handle this emulation, but I'm still having issues.

I've also posted this question in the Retroarch thread, I'll report back if I find any solutions.

Meanwhile, anyone have any tips to get this up to speed?

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pickarooney:
Since last night my a510 won't charge at all. There was a thunderstorm and a power cut and the charger was connected to the socket (a multi socket with several other items including a phone charger) but not to the tablet. When I plug it in now there's no indication that it is charging and the battery keeps going down. I tried with the phone charger also and a USB cable on the PC. While I know at best this would charge the tablet in 24 hours or so there was again not sign of charging at all.

Is it still most likely to be the Acer charger that's at fault or is there something else I could try?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pickarooney:
edit: turns out it does trickle charge with a normal USB charger even if the charge light doesn't come on. Seems to be really hard to find a replacement for these though.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Luther Blissett:
12V, 1.5 Ampere, I believe just about any electronics outlet should have something in stock. Original would be better, true. Get a surge-protected multisocket if your area is prone to bad weather.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pickarooney:
The problem is the MicroUSB port on the tablet has an extra connector so I don't think it will be possible to use a normal microUSB cable with a 12V adapter.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pickarooney:
I tried with another adaptor which has the right shape and 12V output and is supposed to be compatible but not joy. It might be the tablet itself but it's weird if it just stopped working overnight.

It's a shame that only works on the one launcher.

I have an ASUS me301t. Was using the OmniRom 4.4 Nightlies (omni-4.4.2-20140531-me301t-NIGHTLY). The TWRP is version 2.6.3.1.

I unplugged the tablet normally, as I always do at night and the next day was looped in the ASUS logo.

I couldn't do anything else, he kept giving the message: unable to mount /system and /cache.

Choose the Format Data option (after having done the unmounts data partition) and was even worse. Now when I enter in TWRP appears a request for password???

I can cancel but I don't know what to do next.

If i choose Data Format again, appears the following:

Full SELinux support is present.

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

Hi [MENTION=3407958]aNNjo[/MENTION]

I use the TWRP mentioned in your post from this forum:

without problems. Install via fastboot and you should not have issues.

Only time you will, is if you attempt to install CM11 from here:

Thank you for your reply to my post. Is very annoying to have the sensation that nobody whant to know about our request for help, either because they do not know answer, either because they do not have time, or do not mind because they do not know us within the forum users.

Unfortunately I had a very busy weekend at work, and only now I will give some attention to the problem of my tablet. I hope that it have salvation. I will try to use the fastboot with the rom referred to see what happens.

I have to first try to know how this is done, because I'm not have the smallest idea of the procedure to be carried out. A little more research.

I'll reflash the v31 since some features were NOT flashed like call button on contacts but i want to update the TWRP to its latest version....how?Through the TWRP manager app?Or flash it through odin?Flashing an updated version on an existing one recovery using odin won't be a problem right?Also,what jfltexx is the codename of my version right?(9505)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenji1996:
So i assume that your question is does flashing TWRP got problem or not?

So you flash the latest version wont be any problem because i did it already

And nandroid backup is a total ROM for your current condition which mean is your OMEGA v31 so when anything goes wrong you

can go back to the start where you made the backup

Hope this will answer your question.
