[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Is this just happening in the last day or so? And just in that one area or is it always running that way when you leave your house? You may want to give it a few days just in case something is up with Verizon. Been known to happen. Otherwise you'll need to consider switching radios. Don't recall at the moment which ones I have. I'll check tonight. At most it's a minor inconvenience. . Should be able to rectify it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Thanks for your reply! - - Although I only noticed this issue in the last few days, I believe it was probably the case for the month or so that I've had the phone. I'm definitely going to be monitoring my signal & coverage more closely. - - On the plus side, I believe it only happens within 2 blocks of my house. This has always been a somewhat marginal area only because of the shared Sprint tower. That being said, my Galaxy S3 and my prior Android phone before that never dropped calls in this 2 block range like my Note 3 is doing. - In my house, I have the Verizon Network Extender or otherwise I'd get no signal at all...lol... With that of course, I get 4 bars in the house & can text w no problems. I usually need to step outside for mms since that needs the towers. - I could get into the habit if need be to end my calls before I get to that intersection...

Btw, it seems the Note 3 is always showing LTE rather than 4G or 3G.... I guess LTE is suppose to be the same thing right? Thanks for any tips!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
I dealt with a similar issue to you last place I lived. Motorola and Samsung. Never owned a galaxy. May just have to accept it as part of the phone. Personally I didn't concern myself with it, since I was always driving thru as well. If it was always doing that, different story. As far as a 4g showing up, I honestly don't remember the last time I've seen that. Always been LTE for me. Even on current phone. 3g does come up from time to time. I thought I had most of the radios saved, but I don't. I think I tried many of them over a period of time but stuck with mje and deleted the others. Sorry about that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
I have the Verizon tech people looking into my issue. They asked me to press *832 when I hit the bad reception area. That way they know exactly where it's happening & what my phone was doing at the time... However, I don't think they'll be any help because if they ask and/or find out that I'm still on 4.3, they'll probably tell me that the problem is due to me not allowing updates... As far as I know, the problem only happens within about 2 blocks of my house.... I could live with that if I have to. - - In some of the research I've done, I could see that reception at one time was a huge issue for the Note 3's.... At some point I could flash that kitkat rom you gave me, but as I recall, people had more problems on kitkat than the did with jb. On a plus side, I get great battery life with JBs_b6.

Are there any working download links for the DeOdexed version?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
Check 3 pages back, post 516. I still have it up.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
Thanks, downloading now. Is it necessary to flash the NC2 Kernel Package from step 8 if already on Stock NC4? The reason I'm flashing this is for DeOdexed.. The NC2 Kernel Package download link is down as well. I found a download on another site but the hash is not the same.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] milski65:
I wish I had an answer for that, but I honestly don't have any idea. I personally never flashed any kernel package. Hopefully someone can help you out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Are you on 4.4.4? Or are you on 4.4.2? In not sure, but I don't think you can go back to a prior rom if you're on 4.4.4 (unrooted). You probably know what you're doing, more so than me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
I was on 4.4.2 and I tried the KK Unified Firmware which caused a bootloop. Then I flashed an NC2 Kernel I found from a google search, still bootlooped. Then I tried an NC4 kernel I found from a google search with the same result. Finally I found a working download in the Jasmine 2.4.4 post which fixed the bootloop. It's working now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
So, I guess you were able to root your phone after all. Congrats Jellyhead! - I hope you can get a handle on the reception issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
I finally found working links for the MJ7, MJE and NC4 modems so I will be trying MJE for a while. It seems about the same but time will tell. I don't think the 4.4.4 or 5.0 modems are going to be any improvements so I won't be bothering with them.

If anyone else needs these modems I added links to the firmware thread. The links in the OP were dead.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
Thanks jh! I downloaded mj7 & mje in case I need them in the future. - I'm about to flash Alliance B_2 so I'll have to see how my reception is with that. I'm guessing the radio included is nc4.... - If I have trouble with that and the reception, I'll have the mje to go back to. - Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hsomnus:
Is anyone having problems with s pen on this? I've tried multiple tips but its not working. It does work on my note 4. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] straykat:
I don't really use the S pen, but I just checked and mine is working fine. - For me, the only time I found I'd use it would be for the "screen-write" function, which would be seldom... wish I could find some other great use for it....

Anyway, you might check on the thread which was the original thread for the Alliance 2.... here's a link that should get you there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2787627&page=1280

Perhaps you've already searched there. There were some guys in that thread that mentioned pen issues at about page 1280 - 1300. For some reason I'm unable to perform the normal search within the xda thread, so I can't give you a precise reference.... Not sure why... maybe their server is having problems or maybe I need to re-boot my PC... Anyway, hopefully you find some useful info there. Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hsomnus:
Thank you very much, it's weird, I'm having the same issue with searching within the app. I tried several times with no success so I just decided to ask.

im on stock nc4 ota but am rooted with towelroot.

isnt there a nc4 kernel with permissive selinux yet?

been over a year since nc2 permissive was released

i never used safestrap before

i had several note 3's (us cellular and a tmobile) and never had to use safestrap

is there a good video on the note 3 to show what it does actually?

i mean does it "CREATE" a new (partition) or something?

what does safestrap actually do?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] droidzer1:
Because of the VZ bootloader you can't just install a standard TWRP recovery. TWRP is the best thing going for complete backups although some prefer Philz touch. Because of the da*n VZ bootloader user Hashcode created a very special setup for the Verizon phones which uses a special version of TWRP. I know your ? is old so you probably already figured this out but just jumped on here as I found an incredible deal on a VZ Galaxy Note 3 in brand new shape and went through this thread to upgrade it from JB 4.3 to KK 4.4.2 and got it all done and SS 3.75 installed. Thanks to all who contributed here. It was a bit difficult finding some of the downloads - would help others in a like scenario if the OP has current correct links but they are mostly to be found from user milski65 around p. 53 IIRC so not too much trouble.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jellyhead:
Bootloader has been unlocked. You can now install TWRP recovery. I have 2 Note 3s with TWRP, one is on 5.0 and the other is on this ROM
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes sir. Just make sure to flash the nc2 kernel!

Then after I flash to NC2, can I then flash Hyperdrive in stock slot? Or do we still need to wait for SS to be compatible?

Yep ull be good the nc2 kernel fixes the ss problem.. stock slot only of course:thumbup:

email

Anyone else having email trouble. I restarted twice clean too. Im talking stock email app trying to connect to hotmail. I can use other apps but wanted to stay near stock or blacked out stock would be better.

I did not even try a blacked out one yet. When first loaded it up it logs on but starts force closing shortly after. Tried 3 times.

EDIT: I reinstalled app 4th time but this time i didnt use the hotmail setup. I used other setup and set my sync on very hour not on manual as i like it but its working now.

Strange i never seen this issue before.

Is there any difference between this and the version he released in April
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
It's based off nc4 instead of nc2 for the rom base... nc4 modem and recovery but nc2 kernel should be used. Performance wise I don't no if there's a dif...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sezaro21:
Ok. I followed all the steps in the OP and I am rooted and running fine. but my bandbase and build number still say NC4. I thought i was suppose to be brought back to NC2. Here is what I see. Does this look right?

Android Version: 4.4.2

Bandbase Version: N900VVRUCNC4

Kernel Version: 3.4.0 dpi@SWDD5521 #1, Thu Mar 13 21:15:22 KST 2014

Build Number: KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4

Shouldnt I see NC2 somewhere?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yep that's right. baseband is the modem... build number is the rom version... the kernel is what is nc2 and that is correct with the Mar date...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BeansTown106:
i would update to the nc4 base deodex rom and the updated nc2 bootloader. this bootloader package has newer"better" modem and also has updated recovery stock recovery that doesnt have the reboot issues

from nc4? no. but being on nc4 base with nc2 kernel has all the benefits of being on nc2 the only benefit we dont have is downgrading to 4.3 but i dont really care about that as all the new roms will be based on 4.4.2 NC4

me either haha was a pleasant suprise

thank you and anytime :)

u can only downgrade the kernel not the bootloaders but the "good things" about the nc2 build can be had on nc4 by downgrading the kernel. so its kinda a win win. only thing you cant do is go back to jellybean

no following instructions will get you on nc4 deodex base with a selinux permissive kernel(nc2 kernel) and then roms will boot because you are on the nc2 kernel. i havent tested nc2 based roms but id imagine they would work since the nc4 one does.

havent set upmy device yet but i will look into it when i do

the base is the nc4 base OTA base and the modem has been updated as well..

yep thats perfect mar 13th kernel is nc2 :)

Let me know if u guys need more clearing up on exactly what happened, is supposed to happen seems about half understand half dont lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Virus1x:
One more question do I need to flash the kernel if I didn't take the Ota upgrade? I did the one the jasmine rom did do I need to flash as if on nc4 or nc2? and do I need to flash the nc2 kernel? what is the option in odin to flash kernel I know cp or cb is firmware
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No u don't ur still on nc2 kernel. U can verify that in about phone u should have the march date under kernel build.

ok, so yesterday, i flashed this rom. everything was working great all day today. i downloaded safe strap on the device, and rebooted. it didnt go to safe strap, because it was version 3.72. so i turned the phone off and then back on to get to safestrap and now the phone will not boot. it turns on, and then just stays at a black screen. someone please help

update, the battery said it was at 29% when i rebooted. and now the battery seems completely dead. when i plug the phone in, the battery pic comes on as if its totally dead, and then my screen goes all pixely. also when i leave it plugged in, the top portion of the phone around the camera get very warm. please help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mirrin:
nvm only applied to if you were on the ota
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Can we just flash the new firmware/baseband without upgrading all of the other stuff? I never took an OTA update. I'm running an NC2 rom now.

Edit: Answered my own. Worked fine. Although I hate NC4 and sincerely hope VZW puts out another radio update. These radio updates have been abysmal. NC4 takes me from about 5MBPS to around 1 MBPS.

Anyway, thanks for the update Beans! I'm really looking forward to see what happens with this insecure kernel module.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
I'm not sure where you get that. You stay on the nc2 bootloader. That odin package does not flash nc4 bootloader, but the nc2. So you're safe.

Folks who took the ota don't flash that package, because they can't go from 4 to 2 bl's.

if anyone can guide me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it. Some background. Owned VZW OTA KitKat Note 3 rooted with Towelroot a few days ago. Installed SU and Safestrap..created backup and root was working fine. Decided to follow instructions and Odin NC2 kernel after installing deoxed rom on stock slot. Odin 3.09 failed during install. This lead to a never ending cycle of booting into download screen telling me to use software update. Searched and was able to download Note 3 tar file for kitkat. Tried installing in Odin again. Same result. FAIL! Downloaded PIT file and fails again. Now I can get into Android System Recovery.. wipe data/cache and only shows Samsung screen with custom logo.

it will replace everything. 1.baseband 2.kernel 3.rom to NC4.. and i think you will end up with NC4 OTA.

I am still on MI9, but rooted with safestrap. If I flash this, am I still able to downgrade like you can in the NC2 thread Bean's has? I read through this thread, but there seemed to be some confusion on that. I just want to make sure that if KK ends up with less battery life for me I can downgrade.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] LeftyGR:
Yes. The bootloader is what prevents the downgrade. The current two ways to put the nc4 bootloader on your phone: ota and odin flash of full nc4. Don't do that!

What is given on this thread's op to flash in recovery and odin you can fully and safely downgrade from.

I use to ride with you back in the Note 2 days and I'm glad you're back. And the only reason I took that OTA was because I was trying to root my NC2 with that stupid Chinese root method. Damn thing was popping up all types up Chinese garbage and I must have accepted it in my frustration. Next thing you know I'm seeing the Android robot and thought it was part of the root method. And to my surprise I'm on NC4 :crying:

Since you said steps 1-8, I assume you're on MJE/NC2 and following the "Coming From NC2/MJE" steps (the other one has 9 steps)

If you haven't taken the KitKat OTA update and are having trouble, I think your best, most reliable bet is to boot into download mode and odin MJE

Get in download, Odin MJE tar - it has rom/firmware/modem all in one. You'll end up with a stock MJE, no root. Then grab Kingo to root the phone, then go through the MJE to NC2 Kitkat upgrade process here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726558 (flash rom, flash firmware, follow directions to the letter)

Once you follow that and are on the 'stock' NC2 KK rooted ROM, installed SafeStrap 3.72, you're good to go flashing any of the other KK ROMs.
