After flashing the latest NC4 Stock ROM in ODIN...after the first boot,,,the device never initialises and gets stuck on the Verizon logo...(waited for 25 minutes)

Then i have to remove battery, go to recovery mode and then Factory reset data, wipe cache partition, reboot and the device initialises properly...

I tried to flash Stock NC4 2-3 times and same thing happens everytime...Did someone else face same problem...

This problem was not there when flashing Stock MJE Rom...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
The rom posted should be flashed in safestrap recovery. The nc2/nc4 firmware is flashed in odin... follow the first set of instructions to upgrade from mje.

You sir, are awesome. Your instructions worked. My phone is up and running. I had literally given up hope. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me how much storage there is on device after installing the deodexed rom. Is it still 32?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
it's always 32gb, odex or deodex. But that number includes system storage for apps, data, and cache. Odex is a larger file system, but it shouldn't really be that noticeable. . .

Flashed FW accidently, lockscreen password locked

Currenty rooted, running the NC2 deodexed Rom that Beans put up a while ago.

I try to put in my screen lock password it is not recognized, says incorrect password. That's when I looked closer and realized that I flashed the FW file by mistake, this one:

N900v_NC2_FW_Updated.tar.md5

Is there any way to get passed the lock screen or am I just going to have to flash Rom?

## Fixed ##

Flashed the NC2 Firmware in Odin from that thread and got back in.

So now I can flash just the modem file I intended to in the first place.

So if I did the nc2/nc4 to flash jasmine back during its original release, do I need to Odin this new package or can I just flash the rom? I need to revert to stock to test something with my messaging if it's roms or my phone. I'm not receiving texts if connected to WiFi unless I reboot my phone. Doesn't happen all the time though

3e recovery problem?

Hey all,

Not sure what went wrong..

What to do from here?

Keeps bootlooping into recovery.. again 3e

adb shell gives a libc.so error..

Wiping data gets me back to SafeStrap but loses all of /data/media/*

Trying again for the 3rd time..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] streetracer8605:
If you are on NC4 from OTA and rooted with towelroot and future OTA blocked, would you be able to stay on that and flash the NC2 kernel at a later point if a downgrade was needed or if kesek comes to fruition? Reason I'm asking is because of the signal issues I've seen with the NC2 firmware but people who took the NC4 Ota and rooted seem to be having better luck with signal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] streetracer8605:
Oh, and is anyone else having an issue with it saying "unable to play during call" on the stock browser even though you aren't on a call? I came from MI9, flashed the Nc2/NC4 stuff and now have this issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ROB281:
I have been dealing with this issue myself for the past two hours, followed your steps just now and it doesn't look like it's going to boot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Have you tried just installing the ROM through recovery instead?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
For jasmine users: if you have been on jasmine, you can flash this no problem. Only issue I ran into was the play store with error code 920. To fix turn WiFi off then back on. :thumbup:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ROB281:
I had flashed the rom through recovery, however after the first attempt I could no longer boot period, it powered up to failed firmware update notice.

Odin'd back to stock nc4, rerooted then went through the steps again

Again it hung on the red Verizon screen, booted back to recovery factory reset, wiped cache as advised booted up and hung up on red screen again. Pulled battery and tried letting it go through the safe strap screen on it's own no luck.

Pulled battery then rebooted again this time I hit continue on ss and it booted immediately. With all of my previous rooted system info present which really threw me for a loop considering there was an Odin session involved.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Did you flash the firmware in Odin also? You probably did but it doesn't hurt to ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ROB281:
Yes flashed the rom booted to download through recovery and flashed the kernel in odin

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] openwheelracing:
where did you find WiFi hotspot toggle?

which owed modules do you use?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I used the SQLite Editor app and added a WiFi Hotspot toggle.

Open the app, under the apps tab press on "settings storage" > "settings.db" > "system" then look for the line that says "notification_panel_active_app_list" (near the bottom). Press on it then hit the pencil icon up top, in the "value" field add "WiFiHotspot;" (with the semicolon and the capital letters but without the quotes) at the beginning. Press save, back out of the app, reboot and you're all set.

I'm using a lot of Xposed modules:

Disable Clear Defaults Dialog

Google Play Music Listen Later

Notify Clean

Pandora Patcher

Performance Profile

Play Site Link in App Info

Play Permissions Exposed

Samsung Keyboard Short Delay

Screen Off Animation

Wanam

YouTube Adaway.

Reboot to recovery, factory reset, wipe cache then reboot a few more times
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
This may have been asked... but maybe not as bluntly:

Is it still advisable to stay on NC2? NC2 was touted as the holy grail of firmwares... so, does that still stand? I've seen some users mentioning that they're having issues... so if it's high-risk, low-reward, then I'm going to stay away.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]... Can you clarify in the OP if this build is in any way superior/inferior to NC2? Lots of us on your NC2 build might be curious if there is value added in this one, or if the benefits are all for people with NC4 either from accidental OTAs, or new/replacement phones.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ROB281:
NC2 firmware is what you want to be on, it is open for upgrading and downgrading radios, and if I understand correctly once your on the NC4 hardware your stuck there and can no longer downgrade radios

as far as modems go between NC2, and NC4 the difference is negligible to me, however other people have more luck with one than the other so it'll be a judgement call on your part
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
You can or delete the apk in system/root and then reboot. I hate calling for my voice mail and so I use it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] streetracer8605:
I was under the impression that we use "modems". Additionally, I was under the impression that we could odin a modem at any given time. I believe, that from what I've read as long as your rooted on NC4 that you can flash the NC2 kernel package that gives you access to the Selinux Permissive that allows for a downgrade if you ever want to. Correct me if I'm wrong Beans.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Modems and radios are commonly spoken of interchangeably. Anyone can change radios as they are not directly tied to the bootloader. Otherwise it would not be possible to be on a kk rom with a jb radio.

As for the kernel, I am unclear as to an individual's ability if they took the ota or odin'ed the nc4 firmware.

《 #VerizonLovesYou 》
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] thepolishguy:
You can downgrade/upgrade radios/modems on NC4. I am on NC4 using the MJE radio/modem. You cannot however Odin to a previous firmware from NC4 because of the the bootloader. So I cannot Odin the NC2 and get the benefits of running that firmware (or any previous firmware).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
The nc2 kernel gives u selinux permissive and the option to load kernel modules in the future. However u can't downgrade to mje from the nc4 firmware "ota" only the leaked nc2.... Ur stuck on nc4 bootloader.

I was on NC2 and had horrible reception no matter what radio I flashed. I went back to full MJE. If i update to NC4,root and flash NC2 Kernel I will keep NC4 firmware/bootloader? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes if u take nc4 update u will be stuck with nc4 bootloader. No going back to mje. But the nc2 kernel will work.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jal3223:
So just to clarify, by using the instructions in the OP do you basically skip the NC4 bootloader and retain the ability to downgrade? I'm just trying to make sure before making the jump because I'm getting awesome signal with MJE right now. I'd like to keep the option to go back if possible after hearing about all of the signal problems from Kitkat.

Is there a difference between Beans UPDATED! NC2 Firmware package (which is what you odin after you flash this nc4 rom), and the UNIFIED KK firmware package that [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] has posted in the jasmineRom thread?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hsbadr:
Both packages are based on the same firmware images, There's one difference though: Beans's package is for NC2 only & he provided the NC2 kernel separately for NC4. The unified KK firmware works for both NC2 & NC4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mwshows:
Thank you! If we updated to leaked NC2, and are now running NC4 based ROMs like this, yours, or Duece's, is there any advantage to running Beans UPDATED nc2 Firmware, or your unified KK firmware, or does it matter which one we use really?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hsbadr:
Either of our packages will do the job. I've noticed that NC4 secondary boot loader, trust zone & other images included in these package fix some issues that rarely happen (mainly, security related). However, it's up to you according to your experience. Try with/out & judge yourself since some users found, for example, NC4 modem works better while others prefer the MJE modem OR even JB.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mwshows:
Really appreciate the info thank you :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DJ0224:
I followed the NC4 instructions but I am still having issues flashing roms. Everytime I flash on rom slot 1 it tells me "E failed to mount '/system"

Also I flashed the NC2 kernel in odin. That is the correct way to do it right? How can I tell if i'm on the right kernel?

Philz is a legit recovery but I had problems flashing kernels properly with it.

Oh crap, I didn't see that, thanks for the update. And my apologies.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:
NC2 and NC4 refer to two series of KitKat (Android 4.4.2) releases for the Note 3, N900VVRUCNC2 and N900VVRUCNC4. Read the threads by Beanstown106 in this forum for more info.

Odin is PC software that will write (flash) to your Note 3. BL, AP, OR, and CP are different "slots" used by Odin. AP is used for ROMs and Kernels. az_biker has a tutorial on How To Flash Files in Odin. az_biker's signature has more links to other tutorials on flashing.

The top post (OP) for almost all ROMs will have instruction for flashing that ROM.

I would gently suggest a lot of reading before you try to flash anything. You don't want to brick your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] alt230:
Thanks so much David! I have used Odin but not a whole lot so far. I'm trying to read all the relevant material I can before I try to get out of the stock setup. After taking out the magazine and as much of the 'share' crap as seems safe I like the stock rom pretty well. The phone is fast and battery management is gratifying. Google is attacking with ads from every quarter with naive help from junior app writers. I buy the apps I like. I certainly don't want to accept another push-out.

SO i have done all the steps and I'm running this rom. The only thing is that I dont want to run the NC2 kernel but rather the NC4 kernal. I thought this rom was suppose to be able to run that kernal? It doesnt seem like it is because everytime I try to launch this ROM without flashing the NC2 kernel, the phone will boot up and then just go to a black screen. I cant do anything from that screen. I;m then forced to pull the battery and flash the NC2 kernal if I want to be able to use my phone. SO before anyone says why would I perfer the NC4 kernal vs the NC2 kernel, it';s because I dont care about all the extra stuff that is on NC2 and NC4 just runs better for me. SO is it possible to flash the NC4 kernal with this ROM?
