Ive bounced between clean installs of the NC2 leak and the Rooted NC4. I think the "updated NC2 firmware" from this thread is what SIM locked the phone. I cant roll back to the first NC2 firmware because of an error. Some Aboot error thats goes something like Fused 3>Install 2. I wouldnt be surprised to find that the base for the "updated NC2 firmware" is actually a brand new bootloader with even more security measures. If its not a NC2 bootloader in that firmware, Beans needs to change the name of the file. Guess i should mention that i havent been able to odin a MJE tar either. I get the same error.

As for custom ROMs ive been on HyperDrive RLS7/8 (since i got the phone rooted) and Biggins V6/V7 (more recently cause couldnt get a backup of my RLS8 to work until i figured out that i needed to flash the NC2 kernel after restore). Ive been over every possible solution i have in my situation. Looking for a dev response. At this point it really looks like nothing short of a hacked ServiceMenu.apk or another kind of hack will fix this.

Edit: Upon further testing i have found that it is impossible for me to keep the phone on while the battery is not in the phone. Apparently USB 3.0 cannot deliver enough power. Ditto for a 1.5A wall charger. Or maybe the circuit isnt complete without the battery. It can safely be concluded that the person/people who wrote that article have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. Probably wrote names of old and new flagship phones to a) get page hits and b) be relevant at all.

SHA256 is ON. Phone is 100% definitely SIM locked.

got my refurb to fix signal issues. ota 4.4.2. towelroot wont work, just hangs and then asks to close it. any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asrah:
Im almost willing to bet money that the NC4 bootloader/ROM caused this. I get an error when i try to Odin back to MJE or even reflash either the old or new NC2 firmware. SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 2. Only NC4 ive touched is from Beans. I havent even been able to get Verizon OTA because i havent a) had Verizon service or B) been on a Verizon ROM and checked for an update.

Besides that i wouldnt put a kernel in the bootloader slot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
You obviously have no clue. Please excuse yourself from posting further. You did something. These directions have been followed by many and you are responsible for anything happening to your phone. Beans town is a reputable Dev on here. His work is some of the best.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asrah:
Sure buddy. I have had 3 Galaxy phones by now, plus others. Ive owned a Galaxy S2, S3, LG Optimus Q, aLG Revolution, and Note 3. First four have been fully decked out in custom ROMs and themes. Thats only the devices ive owned. Ive also worked with a Samsung Galaxy Centura. The part of the post you quoted had NOTHING to do with Beans files. I already know what happened. Its a (hopefully) rare glitch. Its not like Beans could foresee it.

For the record, i always read instructions, reread them, then follow them WHILE READING THEM. I followed the instructions to the letter, and my phone ended up SIM locked. His previous reputation has literally nothing to do with the hardware in 2 or X peoples phones. NOONE ever said his files are bad. I said they caused the issue. The changes to the device caused some glitch which made my hardware go weird. Please excuse yourself from getting on peoples cases when you have absolutely no clue whats actually going on.

But, of course, you have no idea of the difference between reporting and discussing an unusual glitch and an accusation of foul play.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] magisterludi:
Perhaps I should have worded my reply differently.

Honestly, I was seriously not expecting to see another poster having the same issue i was. I make no accusation whatsoever. At all. Please dont roll my post into something it was never intended to be. Honestly, I figured I scratched my sim removing it from the phone which was being replaced. I really only posted at all because someone else had the same exact issue as me the day before. I figured my post would be contribbing to a possible issue.

Let me digress.

Without these devs doing what they do, most of us crack flashers with locked bootloaders would be boned. with laggy oem roms that suck.

I accuse nothing. But I did get the sim not detected error, and it is a brand new replacement. And the steps I took were the only thing done to the phone since it was shipped to me. I thought i would never see SELinux permissive since i had a NC4 stock phone. I was stoked at the opportunity the contributing devs in our forum have given us and me.

So please. Dont put my post in some bucket of "idiot who doesnt know how to follow directions" or "some guy throwing dirt at the people who have put in serious hours for our benefit." Im neither. But my sim isnt working. Ill get a replacement at vzw tomorrow and report back. Additionally, im going to try another rom on a second slot. I used the 3.75 b04 safestrap which was stated to have second rom slot functionality.

Should I not create a second slot due to my predicament? I dont want to compound my issue. But I do hope to resolve it, and please, I would gladly take some guidance, direction, correction, or insight from someone able to help.

Thats why i posted. I need some help. My own doing.

p.s. Thanks 2 you guys. you know who you are, the few who do it all so we all can fiddle and tweak the fruits of your labors.

and in the about tab of my phone.... my selinux is permissive. not some locked down bootloader that someone else speculated about. my phone boots fine w/o sim and the about tab is as it should be.

Is this what boned me? What slot of odin was the nc2.kernel tar supposed to go in. Fme. If this did it im a tool.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asrah:
I dont know for sure. It is possible. Depends if Odin writes X data to X partition based on how you enter the files, or if the files are properly arranged and can only go into the partitions they belong in. Kernels, ROMs, and Modems go in the "AP" slot. Used to be called the "PDA" slot.

TiBu restore system apps?

Coming from rooted stock NC2 TiBu backups for everything, does it make sense to restore system apps? I want the system data but am ignorant of both how TiBu handles updated system apks when the batch "restore system data" option is used (like does it only restore data in those cases and not replace the apks?), and of what (if any) system apk's are different between the older NC2 rom and this newer NC4 one....

I already started the batch so I'll see if things get b0rked and I'll just re-wipe/re-flash if so but it'd be good to know..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Digital DJ:
Anyone on this ROM used HyperDrive Rom yet? If so what are some of the differences?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pelo88:
... seems like everything is okay... just wonder if any system apks are different in NC4 from the previous hacked stock NC2 that was posted here..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] helix139:
Just got my Dev Edition in from UPS today. Looks like it shipped with KitKat 4.4.2 with build KOT49H.N900VOYUCNC4 and a matching baseband. Are these of use to anyone? If so I'm happy to do a dump.

As I understand it, to flash this ROM I'll need to flash TWRP with ODIN (and then subsequently any recovery of my choice), back up everything, then flash this ROM, then hash's kernel? Or can I just reflash the 4.4.2 kernel from my backup?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
If you haven't already flashed twrp, the maintainer would like a dd copy of the recovery partition in order to officially support N900V; currently we're all using the N900T version. Congratulations BTW ?

Hey guys,

just curious if I will lose the ability to go back to MJE by flashing this? I couldn't find a direct answer to that.

thanks!

James
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
You can go back to mje as long as you don't take the ota(keeping the nc2 kernal). The nc2 kernal is what allows us to revert to mje.

Sent from what an iPhone wishes it could be.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Close! The nc2 bootloader is not incremented from mje's, which is what allows us to revert. You can rock the nc4 kernel, if you really want to. Just can't roll back bootloaders from nc4, which prevents going back to nc2 or any jb rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] screwedbyexisten:
Is there any major reason we would want to go to the NC4 kernel?

screwedbyexisten
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No even the nc4 (bootloader) users have to flash the nc2 kernel for custom roms to boot. They didn't blacklist the kernal so it can be flashed on nc4. However once the nc4 bootloader is flashed then u r stuck on nc4 bootloader. With nc2 bootloader u can go back to mje. So if ur on mje or nc2 stay away from nc4 bootloader.... nc4 rom base and modem are ok to use

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Eh. Everyone has differing results with kernels and their devices. I personally run the mje kernel on a stock nc4 based rom, because I get better overall signal with it @ home and work over the others...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
OK guys,

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I am frustratingly stuck...

I'm trying to update to the n4 modem and I'm lost...step 5 and coming from n2

Do you use Odin on the pc or flash from download mode in boot options on twrp in SS?

I rarely use odin period so I think I'm over analyzing this...

Any quick advice?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
The modem package is flashed in odin. Just put into the same slot as you would full firmware. Oh, once you download it you'll have to upzip it. The file inside the .zip is what odin installs.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvirus11:
I guess I got confused with step 5. I never flash any of this connected to the pc so all the odin install I assumed was done via twrp while in safestrap.

So I need to re-install odin on my pc

Growl

Thanks for the insight. :)

Ok so I downloaded the tar for the update and its not unzipable...

Now I'm back to lost...

I got iy...forgot it had to go in AP slot and let it run..

Sorry guys.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] haza12d:
How would I go about doing this?

I'm currently running Jasmine 2.1

Do I Odin back to MJE and then flash ROM that is NC4 based. I thought you couldn't do that, that your system wouldn't boot.

Also, which ROM are you running?

I'm just trying to get better signal. It has been horrible since I upgraded to Kit Kat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Which baseband (modem) are u running? Try one from here. I have the best luck with mje or nc4 modem. Just flash the modem in odin. U can flash it on top of any kk setup.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] kvnhmmd:
For those who have this issue like I did, but want to stay on the custom NC4, follow these instructions

- Boot into safestrap

- Press "Mount"

- Make sure everything is checked, I also selected "Internal Storage" at the bottom

- Go back to the main menu, select "Advanced" then "File Manager"

- Navigate to "/data/system" and delete "locksettings.db" then reboot system (if this doesn't work, you may need to delete "gesture.key" also)

When your phone boots up, you'll be back to a standard swipe lockscreen... enjoy!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dpoverlord:
Did I do this correctly?

So I had issues with my phone (blank screen on NC4 after installing alliance heres my fix and would love any feedback if I missed something)

Quick history:

1. Got a new Factory warranty phone from Verizon had NC4 on it

2. Installed towelroot / busybox / safestrap

3. Installed Alliance rom

4. BLANK SCREEN

After hours of searching I want to ensure I took the right steps.

1. Instead of installing the NC4 Deodex rom,

a. I rewiped my stock / davlik

b. I kept the Alliance rom intact

2. Download mode and installed the NC2 Kernal PACKAGE in Odin 3.09 in the ADP slot. (you have to unzip it)

3. Phone rebooted no problems

So quick questions:

1. Was I wrong installing this in the stock slot?

2. Should I not have installed Alliance first? Should I have installed the NC4 Deodex rom to the stock slot, then the kernal package?

OR

Then after successfully installing the deodex rom installed Alliance?

Please let me know your feedback and I hope this helps anyone with NC4 and a blank screen

quick question please

im going to attempt to give as much detail as possible ...

recently rooted with towel root as i had never rooted and already accepted update to 4.4.2 nc4 Verizon

now i have SuperSu version 2.02 which i found most recent and working with my phone and went from safestrap 3.72 / to safestrap HLTEVZW-NC2-3.75-BO4

I have created a backup to be safe as i already installed SafeStrap and looking to flash a new rom ..

but do i still have to flash this [Step- 8 - Flash NC2 Kernel Package] because i seen a post where they said they didnt have to etc ... so it kinda threw me off and the thread is long ......lol

do i install the NC2 kernal ? or can i do without to flash roms in other slots ... not sure if they even fixed the support on it for sure though i read they did on SafeStrap for Rom Slots ..

thanking you all in advance , Robb

I want to flash cool roms on my Note 3 ... not my first rodeo though its been a while since Droid/Moto
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Basically, for locked bootloaders, if you already have the nc2 kernel flashed then you can flash every nc2/nc4 touch wiz rom out there because SafeStrap is unable to flash kernals; your Odin flashed kernel will stick. However, the developer edition guys have to re-flash the kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RK KINGKONG:
well no i havent even attempted to flash the NC2 because i wasnt sure i should ..

so basically youre saying i do have to flash this anyway ? and it has to be done with some program called odin .
