Just tried I'm on NC4 ota and it didn't boot

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------

Right after the safe strap screen the screen went black
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidguy22:
Could it be due to the issue with NC4 setting SELinux status to permissive (I've tried changing it to permissive using terminal emulator and as soon as you reboot it's back to enforcing)..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] texaswickedtoys:
I brought up the exact same thing you just said to [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] for JasmineROM just tried to see if maybe beans did something else
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] talonzme:
Hmmm. Tapatalk wouldn't let me post earlier. Thank you beans for developing a root for stock nc4......I was having stock shock it's been so long since the ota forced onto my phone.

Sent from my SM-900V, unrooted :(

So I'm on MJE root with safestrap looking forward flashing this rom but reading the directions on step 6 is to flash firmware but there is no link for it please help thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] moin786:
Sorry i dont understand the steps 2 and 3...i have downloaded Busy box and installed it as in step 2...but where can i find the busybox apk to install...please help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
for step 2, you download a busybox installer app from the play store.

for step 3, you install busybox onto your phone using the app you downloaded from step 2.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] moin786:
Nope, it is not possible to run this ROM with NC4 Kernel because NC4 Kernel is Enforcing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mirrin:
nc2 is the worst most say mje was the best but some are having good experiances with nc4 modem i would try nc4 first if you still have issues try mje if you cant tell between mje and nc4 there likely is no helping it i have seen several say they had hardware issues with the signal they received...

why do you need to run on the nc4 kernel there is nothing about it that is good or better it wont change your signal it wont help anything. The nc2 kernel is a friendly kernel unless you actually need knox for work and this is a work phone then there is no reason not to run the nc2 kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Lexus One:
MJE supposedly. But it could in reality be the same signal strength for all, and just be a matter of the way the programmer calculates and displays the signal level. I read some time ago that Verizon changed this calculation on certain phones to display more bars because of the huge number of "low signal" complaints. And they may have just reverted back to a more accurate calculation after MJE... What you need to do is a real world test, and ignore the signal bar display. As for my personal experience, MJE definitely displayed more signal bars when connected to 4G LTE than NC4 does. But in reality I haven't noticed any difference in connecting and dropping 4G in the same areas.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
OK, So I'm a little lost. A few months ago I was rooted on MJE, then the Kit Kat miracle happened and I followed Bean's instructions here

★ [ROM/ROOT][N900VVRUCNC2][4.4.2] Stock Root Odex/DeOdex [04/23/14]★

I've been running a few different ROM's, never touching the firmware since then. Now this thread comes out and I'm not sure if I want to upgrade to this NC4 version, according to Beans last thread we wanted to be on the NC2 build. So what exactly are we changing by flashing this NC4 firmware in Post 1?

Also there is a Kernel in post 1, I thought we couldn't flash kernels?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tlipitli:
nc2 ---> nc4

i wouldnt flash the nc4 boot image, if i was on the leaked build... if i want to run a different rom, i always end up having to flashing back to my stock nc4 system image, first, otherwise, roms dont work..

as for the nc4 modem and rom, they seem ok in LA

you can flash kernels like in post 1, because its not blacklisted.

here, im running baja on nc4 with nc2 kernel
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
Thanks you, my only question is his instructiuons here.

Retail Instructions

Coming From NC2/MJE

Step- 1 - Make sure you are on any rooted rom running safestrap

Step- 2 - Boot into Safestrap Select Stock Slot

Step- 3 - Wipe Data Factory Reset The Stock Slot

Step- 4 - Flash nc4 deodex rom to the stock slot

Step- 5 - Reboot into Download mode From Safestrap

Step- 6 - Flash NC2/NC4 Updated! Firmware/Bootloader Package Here

Step- 7 - You will Boot into a Stock Deodex rom with Root, Busybox, Init.d, Selinux Permissive, Insecure Modules!!

Step- 8 - Install new safestrap and wait for roms Here

This give me the impression he's talking to me since I'm on rooted NC2.

Again, I'm not trying to be difficult, I just don't get what's new.

Is the NC2/NC4 Updated! Firmware the same as the NC2 firmware I have from back in April?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tlipitli:
umm

if your on the nc2 build, with this, i believe youre adding the nc4 modem and the nc4 rom, and updating to the nc4 bootloader as well
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Big Cam:
I gotcha, THANK YOU! I've had no issues with NC2, so I don't care about the NC4 modem.

Thanks for explaining it for me.:silly:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tlipitli:
?

i mean , you can do it if yiou want to stregnthen the build to a rooted nc4 build,because we have a root method through the towelroot app.. but it really is the last chance at upgrading since 4.4.3 or 4.4.5 is expected to break root...

No Data or Internet

:cool:Hello I really like the new rom but i am have a lot of No connection keep try . on a lot of apps Warz,IHeart. Any help on this. i was on Beans Town 4.2 no problem
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
Are you running on stock slot with newest Ss 3.75 b04?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FastEddie87:
NO i am not

no i am running safestrap 3.72 how could that make any different.. i keep getting no network connection

:cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RomsWell:
Then somethings wrong. Did you flash the firmware? Check md5s of your downloads? Check baseband info? Clean install? Did you restore apps and data? Since your the only one with this issue read the op and follow directions and try again. Also install SS 3.75. Its matters because safestap is recovery. And since SS is what installs the rom it would be wise to use the proper updated version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] FastEddie87:
yes

install went smooth and yes i did a google restored apps after install a reboot before restore
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] statustray:
Ad blocking...

What is the best way to block ads within apps? Coming from N2 with Beanstown, the ad blocking was superb and built right in. With my N3 running this stock root deOdexed os, some apps that I use that have ads, I didn't know they had ads in them, but now I know as several of my apps have the ads.

Any ideas on what I can use to stop/block these pesty advertisements?

Thanks a bunch!

How to backup the stock launcher?

I want to try the 5X6 launcher. How to backup the stock launcher?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Many ways. Tibu or copy/paste a copy to your sd card or nandroid...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nde123456:
Thanks.

End with nova launcher.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] daluckysort:
OK so my end result is you have the new Eclipse ROM on my Verizon Note 3 retail. My Story: I was bricked since last night so I ended up having to use Odin to revert back to stock and unroot which is (if I'm not mistaken) FULL NC4 from the mother ship of samsung. I have followed the instructions for rooting, busybox, and safestrap. When I come to the part of wiping and flashing/intstalling hltevzw_root_deodex_nc4.zip onto the stock slot via safestrap from my external sd, it fails every time. The script goes like this...

Updating partition details...

Full SELinux support is present.

E: Unable to open zip file.

Error flashing zip '/external_sd/hltevzw_root_deodex_nc4.zip'

Updating partition details...

What am I missing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Are you able to open the zip with something like root Explorer? Have you checked the md5 sum to rule out a bad download?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:
I just installed this ROM along with Lean Kernel 3.3. I did the build.prop edit to allow a lock screen PIN. Everything seems fine except that my Google Play still freezes on videos. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I have the SM_N900V Developer Edition and am using TWRP 2.7.2 for my recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Industrialistic:
I followed the instructions exactly going from MJE and it worked great. Aside from one miss-understanding this is a great help. I was tired of getting the software update popups. The only part that tripped me up was "Reboot into download mode and install Bootloader update. It had been a while since Ive done anything too my phone so I had momentarily forgotten about ODIN. Others may or may not have this same brain fart but if you could put a small caption to use ODIN for this step that would perfect this thread. Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Are you using the correct safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Similar here, lk 3.0, Jasmine 2.0 but YouTube freezing, thinking the problems are linked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] daluckysort:
I'm not sure how to check the md5 sum. Sorry

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

I'm using 3.75
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Harleydroid:
Maybe try to download the rom to your internal storage then flash the rom then do the firmware in odin.

I'm sorry I don't use ext. SD cards so I'm no positive what's going on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DavidFlory:
YouTube freezes or stops after one frame. So neither YouTube or Google Play is working for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
Seems like no reason to even try any more nc4 roms.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] daluckysort:
I tried it both ways and also from a different mirror link. The Deodex still won't install.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] daluckysort:
Would it matter if I used Odin to flash NC2 before I flashed Deodex ROM through Safestrap 3.75? Should I install 3.72 and use that instead?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
YouTube works for me? Are you dev or re n3? What mods have you done? One solution you could try would be to delete the apk using a root file manager. Reboot and download from the play store
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LillieBennett:
I'm a dev ed. Already tried un/reinstall. I think I will wait for Jasmine 2.1 then try YouTube before any other installs.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
I'm the opposite. My phone dislikes all the Roms. On mje I was only able to run beans build 6. Now on nc2/4 I can only run the stock Roms which I can modify not as great as the others but it suits my needs. My current setup with nova. Cryten icons and echo lock screen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] daluckysort:
UPDATE: alright so I solved my problem with installing the deodex. I used a seperate ext sd card with a micro sd card reader, format the crap out of it then do a clean download from my computer to it. Put the card in my phone and went into SS to install the deodex file onto the stock slot and BINGO! It went off without a hitch. Then I proceded to follow the other steps with the nc2 kernel and Odin. No problems I'm currently downloading Eclipse ROM and we'll see if it flashes ok too. Keep your fingers crossed. :laugh::good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] GilliganBMT:
Coming from NC2 to NC4, not sure what happened but after attempting to reboot into download mode it got stuck in a recovery bootloop that pulling battery did not fix. I was able to boot into download mode using the hardware keys and flashed the new NC4 firmware but now my ROMs battery life is in the 4 hour range and my phone runs HOT. Should I do a full unroot and start over? Or should I just try and get back to nc2? Also safestrap 3.75 keeps giving me failed backups after 3 seconds on the data partition... Im guessing something went horribly wrong.

Edit-

Guess I should probably add:

I was using this in the Stock slot and bigginsROM v4.5 restored from backup before nc4 in slot 1. bigginsROM v6 in slot 2. All resulted in similar issues except only stock slot would let me backup. Ive since switched the rom slots around hoping to see if it was something weird with that and now v6 is stock slot, v4.5 is slot 1 and this is slot 2. All combos seem to have the same results.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
I wouldn't unroot but clear the slots all off then wipe stock. Start fresh once. See what battery life is like.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] G-diddy:
I've been on bajarom since I flashed this coming from stock ota nc4. Can I flash this again without reinstalling the nc2 kernel package again?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
If you're rooted and have safestrap installed then you can do as you wish

hey guys, i'm trying to use this mms mod so i can get scheduled messages. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2493294

i'm currently on this stock rooted deodex nc4 rom from beanstown. while i was following the instructions in the post linked above, i can't find the secmms.apk in my /system/app folder. i tried looking for it under a different name but no luck there either. any help on this with 4.4.2 rom? would really like this feature enabled.

thanks for any help

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] michael8780:
Hey guys I just installed everything as directed but I'm noticing some major lagging going on switching between apps and texting. Anyone experience this or no a fix.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asrah:
After installing this ROM/Firmware/Kernel, my phone is now SIM locked. I thought it was NC2 stuff in other threads that did it. Thats not the case because i still had signal bars and i could still connect to the network using the NC2 ROM/Firmware in those threads. Now i cannot even see signal bars with my Net 10 AT&T sim, despite the LTE coverage in my entire town. When i try to connect to the network provider manually, it says "No service. Network (AT&T) is unavailable" I downloaded an app (Sim Card by GSMDEV) and the app says that my phone is network locked. network provider is listed as Verizon, and it gives Verizons network operator code. The SIM IMSI begins with the 6 digits of the network operator code. Not even two days ago i was getting 3/1 download/upload. AT&T doesnt have band 4 LTE here, yet. However, the service was working completely, and now i cant even register on the AT&T network.

Are you sure that the base for this ROM/Firmware is from a Verizon Note 3? If it isnt, please keep in mind that Verizon Note 3 users have no way to enter in an unlock code even if we purchase one. Verizon doesnt have any codes to give because any phone that they lock can be unlocked with "000000" or "123456." Since i am not receiving a request to enter in a code (cant access programming menu on your NC4, or my backups of HyperDrive ROM, and BigginsV7), there is no way for me to use the normal unlock code. Seems like something thatd have to be fixed with a hack of some sort.

I dont like the situation, but i dont think you did anything malicious. Id just like to see a resolution. I paid full retail price for my phone because Verizons pricing sucks, and i need to be able to use CDMA and GSM networks.

Any chance of getting the hotspot mod as a standalone zip - and preferably odexed - for those of us that have kept our unlimited data but prefer to remain stock...?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you had to have done something. This has been out for a bit now and you're the first to mention Sim lock. Nc2 is the leaked firmware that will allow us to revert back to jellybean if we choose to. Nc4 is the official release from Verizon. Both have been modified by beanstown for us to retain root. Did you have a simlock before you tried this? Did you check the md5?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] airmaxx23:
It's already part of the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mused02:
Does this rom have all language enabled in it. If yes. I will put it in my phone
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] iBowToAndroid:
Correct. My question was whether it can be provided as a standalone zip for those users who prefer to stay on stock ROM
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] magisterludi:
I too am now SIM locked. I just received a replacement Note3 from Samsung. I purchased full retail because i didnt want to lose unlim data. Anyway. The replacemnt shipped with NC4. I towelrooted. busyboxed. rebooted. safestrapped. powered off. on power on; i wiped data; factory reset ; flashed deodexed. rebooted downloader. flashed nc2.kernel.tar.md5 in the BL slot of Odin 3.09 using a known to be reliable usb2.0 cable in a known to be reliable usb port. success. reset. after boot sequence: SIM not detected. "Device will restart." Only choice. Click ok. clicked. rebooted. same. pulled battery. removed sim. inserted batt; rebooted. able to go thru setup sequence. wifi only.

Can someone comment on where I have strayed from the proper install procedure; or help me resolve this?

Eagerly.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asrah:
I installed as per instructions. I have a retail Verizon Galaxy Note 3. I did not have a SIM lock before then. I did not notice the SIM issue until i saw that there was no cellular signal after flashing the NC4. I had cell signal after flashing a NC2/Firmware/Kernel set.

Not that i expect this to be true, but im sorta curious if everyone who flashed this is now SIM locked but never noticed cause of Verizon service. I can get unlimited talk and text plus 500MB of data for $45 and another 3GB data for another $20. $65 for all that on Verizons network isnt bad at all. Its just that i was to be able to use my phone on any compatible CDMA or GSM carrier if the need arises.

Edit: After further review of the thread i can see I am NOT the only one to have this issue. Neither Verizon nor Samsung have any idea what to do.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

I know im double posting but i would like jrbxx7 to have a notification that i replied. This is a rather "gamebreaking" issue.

The *#197328640# programming menu is NOT available on the Verizon Galaxy Note 3. That exploit was supposedly patched as of any Android version after 4.0.4 Either way, Verizon devices are not locked by Samsung or Verizon. Any device with a "lock" on it can be "unlocked" with "000000" or "123456." I have been unable to find any modified ServiceMenu APK that is compatible with 4.4.2 and has the programming menu. I attempted to get to that menu with both a Verizon SIM, and a Net 10 AT&T SIM. I also attempted to use the "back" option via hardware menu key to the soft key "back" option. The programming menu is the next page back from the *#0011# menu.

Or i didnt double post. Alright. I hope jrbxx7 gets the notification either way.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
The service menu is easy to enable I have it enabled just edit ur efs carrier......

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] asrah:
I never said it wasnt. i said the programming menu "page" exploit was fixed back in Android 4.1 I have every bit of the Service Menu available except the specific page that enables you to go to the sub menus that you need to go to. Would you mind doing us all a solid and actually READ what i posted? I specifically mentioned the page relevant to that exploit as what is unavailable, in my previous post. I understand that you are tryng to help, (and i certainly appreciate the attempts) but we get nowhere when people dont pay attention.

Not to mention part of the instructions from your link "All you have to do is first take out the SIM from the Galaxy Note 3 and put in its place a SIM from a different carrier, then turn the device off and on." are physically impossible. You cant replace the SIM without the battery unless its plugged in. If thats how they did it they should have mentioned it. I think they just have no idea what they are talking about since its an old method.

Dial *#0011#. Going to the previous page in the sequence (where the debug sub menu is) is impossible because when you use the soft "back" key, nothing happens. When i dial *#197328640# nothing happens. I have attempted both methods with both the Verizon and Net 10 (AT&T) SIM in the phone.
