The kernel will have to be flashed via odin. Have u opened safestrap and installed recovery. U will also need busybox installed to the system before installing ss.

how do you flash via safestrap/sd or Odin

thank you so much for replying been actually waiting looking through the tube .... ok i ran a backup once in safestrap , i havent even touched the slots because dont really know what to do with them .... im basically ready to flash but i know in the earlier days we flashed from safestrap via sd ...

now i have to use odin

? and does the rom and kernal file need to be on my extsd or on my pc when i connect to odin ? does it matter that my safestrap is on my sd and not system memory ? thanks again [MENTION=4345388]jrbxx7[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes the rom will be flashed via ss from the external sd. The kernel will need to be on ur pc to flash with odin. And u only have to flash it once. If u change roms the kernel sticks through flashing. If u have ss installed it shouldn't matter once you've installed the recovery but I have it on system memory.

So with that being said if after trying out a rom and I decide to restore my stock nc4 backup in SS I don't need to reflash the nc4 kernel? I can use the nc2 kernel for my stock? ( I bought the note with nc4 kk already on it)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Honesty can't say for sure. Don't no of anyone that's gone back to stock. Lol. I would think it should as nc4 base roms boot from it fine.

oh dam snap , i flashed the nc4 deodex over the stock without wiping ... i can boot into recovery but not the system ....

can i just go into recovery wipe to factory rest then flash again or do i have to start from scratch ?

error code -24 when trying to install from play store

That's great that's exactly where I put it and all went fine until I tried opening the Google Play Store and it downloads all the system apps but whenever I try to install apps like root checker board titanium backup from the market place it won't allow me to neither will I allow me to install apps from my SD card via file manager I'm stuck and I have no clue what to do. I rebooted into safestrap I did a wipe I reinstalled the deodex stock rim then went into download mode and I flashed the NC to file through the Ap via Odin..

However I still have the app install problem

Can someone please suggest a fix.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Maybe try going into advanced in SS and fixing permissions. Then wiping dalvik and cache and play store data. Have u tried a different rom?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RK KINGKONG:
I'll look I haven't tried a different rom assuming I did something wrong but I corrected my first mistake of not wiping to start with .redid everything twice. Still I can't install any apps except for the ones it adds on its own . What rom can I try I'm willing to try anything. . Safest rap doesn't show up in my app draw but I can just restart my phone and boot to recovery. I'll look in permissions but don't know what to change or looking for ...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Any of the roms in the vzw thread are good. For permissions it's just a button in the advanced menu of ss. Make sure to wipe everything before flashing another rom.

I'm a bit confused now upon reading whole thread then rereading the instructions in Op.... Do I flash only the nc2fw and the kernel also... Or not? Or is that included in the firmware package? Thanks in advance and sorry for the noobish question but I don't want to screw this up... Already bricked this once last year when new and managed to recover so I know Odin OK but never have flashed multiple packages including the rom in advance of Odin..preflashing rom in safestrap then Odin the few... Then the kernel?? Thanks all and hi 5 to all who develop

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mpdayii:
So I flashed just the fw as op says but now my phone has no touch input... Only works with the spen... So at least I can do something... What the f is the problem... Any digressions while I still have computer and phone connected
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mpdayii:
I just flashed the nc4 DeOdex rom and then Odin the NC2 fw package per op instruction... Screenshot attached
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mpdayii:
OK. ... now after a reboot. ... wad able to set up phone and install busy box and safestrap. .. touchscreen responding. ... reinstalled titanium and restored a few modded blacked system app and flashed a few also. ... all is OK but battery is at 58% hrs in after a full charge. ....I guess since no responded I'll just go flag the Kernel thru Odin and see what happens....

Thanks to all. .. don't mind me, just impatient.

Downloading alliance anyways so don't see why I'm fishing to much over this anyways but I'm a stickler for perfection. ...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mpdayii:
Honestly.... I'm sick of this crap.... Tried to Odin the Kernel but nothing happens acme still bid galore... Everytime I reboot the playstore and google stops and the about phone says exactly as it does in pic above....

Kernel version

3.4.0

Dpi@swdd5521#1

Thurs Mar 13 21:15:22 let 2014

Build number

K0t49h.900vvrucnc4

And base band also says nc4

Followed all the instructions and after all the troubles just finding the f*ING files on computer finally was able to flash.... Maybe I need to stay from scratch and wipe wipe wipe then try again...

It would help if the op said whether to flash just the fw... Or both fw and kernel, as all the reading says need kernel but op kind of leaves me, guessing... Am I stupid here? ???

Any help would be most appreciated before I end up smashing this beautiful lovely device that I love so much... My wife already thinks I spend too much time dicking around with her/it!! Best phone ever and guess maybe I should have just stayed at mi9,where I was OK and on beams rom v3...the device/battery lasted for days....

Enough ranting..... Help please and any all suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
U only need to flash the firmware package coming from 4.3. Have u gotten safestrap 3.75 installed? If so I'd recommend wiping everything in there Including internal data. (Backup anything u need to keep) and then reflash this rom or any other custom rom for the vzw n3. The about phone looks correct.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mpdayii:
My only question is why is it not showing nc2 anywhere and I think my radio is off as I only seem to get one bar 4G which switches more often to 3g....when I had great service here in San Jose. Is the nc2 kernel included in the nc4fw package I ran in Odin? When I tried to run the kernel it did something heck of fast and 10.?mb...then reboot... The about phone still same and I get stressed so I just flashed the alliance rom you recommended me last week... Setting up now but still think my baseband radio is off somehow as my note signal now went to ****... But guess I'm stuck as I can't go back to mi9 now, or can I? I still have the original root DE LA Vega files (where my Odin installer I used came from)..... Can anyone or a few of you maybe post screenshots of your about phone page so I can compare? Maybe I did it right?

I never had all this trouble with my Droid razr, or my wife's s4....even the unsupported Pantech cr*Apache had custom rom... But I bricked this device twice in the first month... Them had to replace it due to faulty battery but the Verizon rep was too dumb to void my warranty did to Root.... Then I bricked the new note but managed to recover again.... Why I stick on mi9 so long... Though beans rom v3 worked great for me... Now I finally upgrade and buyers remorse ??, but I'm sure this new alliance rom will bug free itself soon enough.... Let's see how to fix radio signal service and I'll shut the heck up and quit my whining.... Thanks all... No matter my problems.... The dev's rock and a big hi 5!!!??

Thanking again
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
It won't say nc2 but the kernel date is correct for nc2. Try the mje modem. If u bought ur phone on the very first release there is a known antenna issue. That vzw has been replacing....

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mpdayii:
Please excise my stupidity and noobishness... I'm not really! But where do I find the mje modem to use with nc4 rom ? I was under the understanding that once on NC4 rom/nc2 kernel for you can't go back to mje or mi9, correct or no? If (and you seem to be quite knowledgeable thus far ☺) I can go back... Can't I just flash thru the DE LA Vega that I started on this note last November when I originally bought? Then Reflash the beans or hyper roms I was using before... Partial to beans but either of em.... If I go backwards can I stay on 4.4?i like this alliance so far minus the back and forth 3g/4g...so much inside I can't make head or tails of it all yet... Trying to find all the darkened mods I put on last time... Turning multiwindow dark, same with the pen chooser, all my darkened Google Apps, not to mention some other hacks acme etcetera..... It's all coming together. Installed busy box pro, then titanium pro, and started restoring some apps... All seems to be working this far.... Thanks again and guess I'll go do some research on mje modems, and if they are compatible. I know I read in one of these thread's someone with same issue... Might even have been you who mentioned the Verizon radio issue with the older original note 3's when they came out. I got excellent battery on mi9...best of ever had work any device, and that was before I even did greenify and exposed... Stock. I love my note!!! ✋ ????? ✋

I am on MJE, is there a specific version of SafeStrap I need to be on before I flash nc4 deodex rom to the stock slot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No.

N10.1'd
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Toys Samurai:
Thanks. The reason I asked about it is because I heard that certain version of SafeStrap does not work with KK -- so I guess that means 3.65is ok for flashing NC4 on MJE?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes. Then install ss 3.75 b4. On nc4.

N10.1'd
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
You will have 3.65 while on jb. You boot into 3.65 recovery and flash nc4. You then boot to dl mode to flash the package in odin. Reboot. Install the 3.75 ss app. In the app, it should say there's an older version installed. Uninstall and reinstall inside the app. Now you have kk with a compatible version of ss.

NC4 kernel

anyone know where to find the NC4 kernel I need to odin it, I have searched and searched Im either overlooking it or is it one available yet:

Update I found it..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] emtownsend:
Stock from Alliance

I'm running, and LOVING, Alliance ROM. But, I am planning on trading up my Note 3 for the Note 4 as soon as Verizon lets me get my grubbies on one...

To move back to stock from Alliance, can I simply Odin back to the hltevzw_root_deodex_nc4 ROM?

My baseband is N900VVRUCNC4 on 4.4.2 on Alliance build 1 07/31/14

I know its not totally stock, but close enough for a trade-in. Truth is, I doubt they would even say anything on the current ROM. I've been rooting phones for years and have yet to run into any trouble by not returning to 100% stock. I think the average rep doesn't know what to look for. But, I'd like to get close enough to pass muster on occasional glance.

Thanks again for your work!

Just flash this via Odin and you'll be back to stock. It's located on Bean's firmware collection thread located here
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anticloud:
probably not going to make a difference, yet take either the nc2 or nc4 ota and odin flash it.

dont even bother going through setup... just say did factory reset. they will probably do it at verizon anyway...

thats what id do.

recovery loop

I've tried searching this thread...so...

I followed the instructions to the T.

I rebooted into safestrap....wiped the stock slot...flashed the NC4 de-odexed ROM provided...rebooted directly into download from safestrap...Odin'd the provided FW....now it just boots to the "recovery or continue" screen and goes into recovery no matter what I do. If I select "continue" it boots into recovery. If select "recover" it boots into recovery. If I don't do anything....it reboots into recovery. I've tried to Odin the NC2 firmware back on but same result.

So....my phone is totally pooched. Any help would be nice.

Follow the bricked thread in the general section done by hsbadr. I would just Odin back to stock mje or nc4 then do all the steps again.

Having some issues

I have an issue with installing the DEODEX'ed ROM, it fails wen I try to install the Zip from the beginning of this thread.(Step 6 Below) That being said I cannot Flash any other ROM Either.

I have the newest version of this phone and am currently performing a restore or I could tell the version (Build # ...RUCNC4) (Kernel Version 3.4.0)

I had tried this last night and I think that this step got skipped and when I did the ODIN it hung on the VZW screen, Had to re-install the factory image, re-root install SS then restore,

But anyway any help would be great, I miss the CM11 from my GS4 and want to stray that way as much as possible. Question? Does this have to be installed on the Stock Rom Slot? I've only Tried slot 1

Having the hotspot, the SD card, and blocking OTA's feels like the device is now able to be used as it was intended. Nice to have this stock ROM in pocket to be able to try Alliance. Signal is the same as on NC4.

SafeStrap installed, but no longer in app drawer - should I just reinstall the .apk?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RomsWell:
Ill add that your sd is probably the culprit. Finding a good sd card is half the battle of having a smartphone. I had your very same issues on more then one device and a good sd card worked wonders. Also a good time to back up the sd as it sounds like its ready to fail.

Must be, I have to install all ROM's from internal Storage, Odd, it is less than a year old. Transend Class 10 64GB.

Perhaps a reformat could help. I have had cards fail. But a few times it only took a reformatting.

Btw, I still have the 32g sd that came with my htc thunderbolt. And it still works pretty good! lol

link is now there

this is what i meant

pretty sure its same basic firmware. either of our packages should work
