[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshayarajdayal:
I updated my Hong Kong note 3 to kitkat stock. Here is my original thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2796948&page=2

I'm sorry for creating another thread but I really need someone to help me with this.

There is no baseband apparently and IMIE is blank. I do not have a EFS backup. Is there any option for me to go from here?

Bootloader Ver: N9005XXUENA6

Baseband Version : Blank

PDA Version : N9005XXUENA6

CSC Version: N9005OXXENA5

I am willing to donate $100 via paypal right away to anyone who can help with this. No kidding, my brand new Note 3 is dead meat without a fix.

[Xposed General] Falseclock:
There are a lot of excellent modules which realize much more settings and options than some custom ROMs.

So my question is: many of Xposed users have signature with Device & ROM information, including name, version, build, etc... even color and SD card size and vendor. But nobody write information about special Xposed mod usage. Why? :confused:

Remember that devs do and share all their hard work for free and against other things in their personal life, so... RESPECT please the devs and their work at least with information in your signatures!

Why are you quoting my signature for this???
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quentik:
Hello everyone and thanks to the people who will read me :) (sorry for my english to i'm french)

I have an LG G2 D802 (international version) and few weeks ago i went to the pool with it in my pocket (i know, i'm stupid :p)

Anyway the motherboard was oxidized and with a special spray I sucess to clean up the phone. But when i try to start it, it shows the LG logo just for 1/2 second and then the screen goes black... When i connect the phone to my computer, the phone is recognized as qhsusb_bulk in device manager and in windows explorer the phone contain files like adsp.bXX, modem.bXX ... nothing like before...

Anyway I don't know if my phone is broken or if it's just a software issue !

If you guys can help me i'le be grateful !

Thanks !
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magic2010:
If it went to the pool, I guess some of the hardware went broke.

You can always try to flash a new Rom or so if you have the skills, but I dont think it will solve.

This is getting it's own thread as there's just too much info to put into a post.

WARNING!!! YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!

WARNING #2 YOU MAY LOSE YOUR EFS!!!

MAKE SURE TO THANK Brontok

MAKE SURE TO READ THIS WHOLE POST!!!!!

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT YOU MAY INCUR EXTRA CHARGES FROM SPRINT! I haven't had it happen yet in 2 months of playing with KK. But you never know​

Now that that's out of the way, here we go!!!! :D

Some History:

This is the easiest way to PLAY with KK on your LS970. I'm posting this for the few of us left that want to see what KK would/will be like if we can get it fully working. I have spent COUNTLESS hours messing with every KK Rom out there to see if I could get it to work on the LS970 and the steps below are the easiest way. Our issue is the GSM to CDMA conversion.

I'm also posting this so that other people can try to help work on this. In this thread, I'm only interested in getting texts, data, wifi, and calls to work.

build.prop edits - BE CAREFUL with this!!!! You could lose your EFS if you change to the wrong phone/location/vendor!!!! To help to understand/recover your EFS, go HERE and use THIS

What works: - My Sprint account is showing everything is OK so far:p

Calls - calling and receiving seem to work just fine.

Wifi

3g data ONLY - This works on every other reboot. Meaning if you reboot your phone and lose data, then reboot and it will work again. It seems if it trips to SPRINT, you'll lose data. If it shows LG U+ it'll work

What doesn't work

4GLTE - If you have this in your area you will not have data. You will need to use wifi. "Mobile Networks" will be grayed out and not adjustable.

texts messages

I've tried every way to make this a simple flashable ROM, but it ends up killing wifi. So here are the steps you need to take to get KK working on your LS970

Download LuckyROM_v1 ONLY! And make sure to Thank Brontok

Read the steps he has so you understand - and you MAY need to follow his steps!!

Use Philz recovery

Wipe /system, /data, /cache, and /dalvic

Flash ROM

Reboot

Done!!!

On boot-up, about mid screen, click it and set it to English. It'll bootup in Vietnamese if I remember right.

Don't mess with data, wifi or your Google account. Do those later. You can name your phone though.

Now you should have a semi-funtioning KK on your phone!!!!!!

Sorry to be so long winded, but I just want everyone to be able to play with a little KK! :D

Remember, this is a WORK IN PROGRESS. If you manage to fix any of the above mentioned issues, let me know.

Here are the boot and system.img's from the above ROM.

boot.img - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554472

system.img - bad upload re'uping now

I'm opening this up to discuss anybody's work that they may be doing on any KK ROM for the LS970. ie. what changes you've made to get ??? to work.

Here's a list of some of the changes I've done:

build.prop mods: alot. And depending on which ones you change Opens/removes options/settings. Just making one change in the build.prop can wipe EFS, show Sprint, make calls work, etc. It's frustating.

ro.product.model=

ro.product.name=

ro.product.device=

ro.product.locale.language=

ro.product.locale.region=

# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device

ro.build.product=geehrc4g

# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint

ro.build.description=geehrc4g_lgu_kr-user 4.4.2 KOT49I.F180K30b F180K30b.1399632318 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=lge/geehrc4g_lgu_kr/geehrc:4.4.2/KOT49I.F180K30b

adding this line: telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1

ro.build.target_operator=

ro.build.target_country=

ro.com.google.clientidbase.ms=

ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=

ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=

ro.afwdata.LGfeatureset=

ro.telephony.default_network=

I'm pretty sure these are all the lines that need to be modified

framework-res.apk - eri and storage.xml's

/system/etc/apn's - I've tried Sprint and CM

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

/system/vendor/firmware/libpn544_fw.so
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shoelace1999:
we just flash the rom right not the patch or the modem because after i flashed my phone stays in a black screen after the GOOGLE logo
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Yup. Just the rom. And you have to use philz recovery.

Install cwm first then philz.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Think I just figured out why I can't make a fully working flashable zip for this.

I've dd'd the system.img 3 times now and uploaded 3 times and all have the same md5sum. But it doesn't match the file on my computer.

I've ran into this issue with a couple other non-LS970 KK roms.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shoelace1999:
still no luck still have black screen after Google logo. i followed all steps
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
That's strange. I've installed it that way 4+ times now.

Your are wiping all 4 right? /system, /data, /cache, and /dalvic?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shoelace1999:
not yet

Idk here's what I did

Wipe data factory reset

Then wipe to install new ROM

Wipe cache partition

Wipe dalvik

Flash ROM

It ask to disable recovery flash ( tried yes and no)

Reboot
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You did it all right. If this is an issue with others then ill just upload my TWRP backup for now.

Maybe you got a bad DL?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shoelace1999:
???

Yeah I think thats it I extracted the system.tar and it gave me an error
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Don't extract the tar. Flash the rom as downloaded.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shoelace1999:
ok??

Oh I just wanted to see the system files
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shoelace1999:
yes

Guess what i followed all his steps a and i got it working somehow

Wifi í working
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Handsome(OD):
After i flash the rom i see standart google and lg boot animation. A bit later loadind crashes saying that kernel cant be load. What am i doing wrong??

4G Fix

So, I don't actually own a device. So try this at your own risk; however, in the patch file change line 42 - 53 of init.class_main.sh to the following lines

case "$baseband" in
"msm" | "mdm" | "dsda2" | "unknown")
start qmuxd
case "$baseband" in
"svlte2a" | "csfb" | "sglte" | "sglte2")
start qmiproxy
;;
"dsda2")
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsda
esac

multisim=`getprop persist.radio.multisim.config`

It looks like in the code, the second if statement isn't reachable, which may have been causing the problems.

I'm not in front of my linux machine, so I'll bundle up the patch file tomorrow if no one can test this.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:

Couldn't figure out how to get the Mms3.apk to install. Also, when i restored my nandroid of stocktimus I lost my EFS.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You have to manually put it in /priv/apps and set permissions to rw-r-r

The EFS is Warning #2 in the OP. Hope you backed it up. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
I haven't tested this, been out of the game for awhile. But engine - you are as busy as ever. Good sh*t man!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RG3:
After flashing this rom and not having data, I went back to stock, and couldn't get voice or data to work after restoring my efs, updating PRL, and Profiles. Nothing worked, I tried flashing countless zips to try and get my data & voice working. I even went to the Sprint store and have them reset my phone. The head tech told me my phone couldn't be fixed, and that I needed a new phone.

After 2 days of not having a phone, I was desperate to find an answer.

It turns out that this rom switches the CDMA subscription from NV (network vision) to RUIM/SIM

So I flashed 4.4 and switched to NV, and everything works well now.

Other than that huge scare, this ROM is butter smooth! thank you for all your hard work :good: :laugh:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Glad you got it fixed. :) I've never had any issues when playing with the KK ROMS. My EFS backup has gotten me going every time. But then I'm modifying files nearly every reboot.

That's probably some good info for others that might be playing with it. Thanks again
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RG3:
You're doing an excellent job brother, thank you! I had fun messing around with the rom.

It's pretty much perfect. :angel:

Only thing is data, other than that no issues.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] DQEight:
Any multirom users can chime in on if this works as a secondary rom?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I don't think anybody has dared yet. dopy25 it's the only one I know of that would try and he hasn't dared yet. ;)

It installs very differently using system.tar. Not the usual /system folder

And as far as making it a normal flashable, it didn't install right so what normally would work with the .tar won't work with the /system folder.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
I tried another one but not this one yet. I haven't attempted a sideload yet but it's worth a shot. Even though it uses a different type of system folder, multirom uses a virtual drive much like windows can create a folder as a drive, I am unaware of how it will treat it though. I know windows can't format the virtual drive but this isn't windows. I will see what I can do later. I am at work now and my laptop took a crap recently so I'll have to use my backup. I am up for it though just didnt realize I can adb sideload a rom until I thought about it 30 seconds ago.

Hahahahaha.... Nope. I wouldn't do it if you are on MultiRom unless you want to lose everything , or am I being paranoid? What does this wipe? It's in the updater script.

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata", "/data");

Multi rom is basically a folder in the "0" directory, so wouldn't this wipe that? Or does lucky not wipe sd? I don't know how to look at it since when I use multirom and look at any partition manager it shows the whole system as being around 25GB. Any thoughts [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION]?

EDIT: I am crazy, every rom does that LOL. I just compared another updater script. The point is one I already made, it creates a virtual system folder. I'm going for it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
It won't wipe sd. It wipes the /system partition only. The mounts are how and where it installs.

Personally I'm not a fan of the script wiping the/system partition so I remove that line only. The installed size of this Rom is just shy of our 1.5gig system. Only has like 6mb available.

I can't see any issue installing it with multirom other than it uses .tar install.

Edit. Our "0" folder is actually /userdata/0 if I remember right.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Ok. I am going to give it a shot, I just wanted to glance over everything first. Then I went on break at work and had to call my wife.

MultiRom system shows as 25GBish because it doesn't use the actual system as system.

EDIT:

AAAAAANNNNNDDDDDD....

Demigod kernel crash right after google unlock....

Coincidentally I got this message, and get it pretty much every time I install a stock ROM (because they're so big)

MODIFYING REAL ZIP IT IS TOO BIG!
THE ZIP FILE IS NOW UNUSABLE FOR NO-MULTIROM FLASHING

This is during flash, right after I select the zip I want. Got a question for you though [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION], did you attempt to extract the tar with 7zip and put everything from that file into a folder called system, then modifying the updater script to install folder /system instead of file system.tar?

I did it and it installed fine but that's the one I got the demigod crash on. Everything went fine during install...

Right now I am trying with the untouched Lucky. Post back in about 5-10.

Right now it's just sitting at the "U+ Lte The Ultimate" boot animation. How long does that last? I think it sat for quite some time. The L port sits for 15 and I think I left this longer than that.

Letting it sit just got me in trouble Haha. Apparently my wife tried to call a bunch of times.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] DQEight:
You are a braver man than I, thanks for attempting.and Sorry about the wife
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
OP says no LTE, is that still true? We had LTE even on the L port, surely should be achievable here
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I never had a good spot to test LTE. It's weak in my area.

But when I used the kernel that I modified in the OP, I did get brief flashes of the 4g symbol.

Maybe you'll have better luck. Either with the modified kernel or with the mods you've made for L. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] I flashed the artmod rom from intl forums http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2811342, and it booted. I have flashed the zvc radio and messed around with build.prop & apns and I think I've got it. Later today I will be in 4G areas, if I get LTE I will detail the changes I made.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
All right, I have all data, 3G, 4G LTE, sms, mms on the ArtMod ROM.

-Factory reset and flash ROM in CWM.

-Flash Sprint ZVC modem.

-Edits in build.prop: changed product.model, name, device, changed region to US in a couple of places, changed wifi channels to 11 and ro.telephony.default.network to 8. Also copied the basebandversion out of the stock rooted ZVC. ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint, numeric=310120.

I don't know if these build.prop edits did anything very meaningful, if I had to guess I would say it's the cdma ones that are important for data. But it is evident that changing ro.build.target_operator to "SPR" (was "OPEN"), the ROM sets up differently. For example, disables the brightness slider. The real significant change is that with operator "SPR" you are prevented from adding a custom APN. So you have to leave that as "OPEN". Unfortunately this means the lockscreen and notification shade say "Roaming Indicator Off" instead of Sprint. But I believe with the right xposed modules you should be able to overwrite those.

Anyway, with this setup, add a custom APN (I use quickshortcutmaker to access the APN settings, but you can also do it from terminal emulator).

Name=Sprint

APN=n.ispsn

MMSC=http://mms.sprintpcs.com

MMS proxy=68.28.31.7

MMS port=80

MCC=310

MNC=120

APN type=default,mms

APN protocol=IPv4

APN roaming protocol=IPv4

I hope this is helpful on other stock KitKat ROMs. ArtMod is cool, a lot of G3 stuff baked in. Fonts still need work though so I have flashed over a Roboto Light mod for now. Hopefully the developer keeps up with it!

Much thanks [MENTION=4572763]artur0588[/MENTION]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cmf04:
So I tried the changes to the build.prop file, and was able to get the ROM to boot. I added in the APN information manually, but I cannot get data. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Got 4G. Entered in the wrong APN. Testing mms/sms.

Get message "No USIM card" when I try to send a picture.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
High five
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dopy25:
Awesome, is this a totally stock (but modified) ROM? Meaning, are all stock features available? Such as Update profile and Update PRL?

GPROJ type sources? Or AOSP?

What kernels can be flashed with it?

How is camera quality?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cmf04:
Got 4G, SMS/MMS works (get "No USIM card" using stock, installed Hello SMS and it works fine).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
I am using hangouts so I did not notice that. I see the same error with stock messaging app. Maybe something in build.prop
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cmf04:
I also get a message saying I need to update some of the stock apps, but when I go to update them there is a "Sim is not ready" messgae and I cannot update the apps.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
[MENTION=3305208]dwielunski[/MENTION]. Nice work!!!

Looking at that apn mod you have, it's actually from the G3. I just looked at mine and its identical. I've been waiting for root on the Sprint G3 so I could get it.

Anyway, I cant access the apn to edit it on Lucky. Guess I'll have to modify the xml to try

Thanks again

Edit. Ummm yeah, I was not all with it when I wrote the above. :o
[Sprint LG Optimus G] DQEight:
That Dialer...looks BEAUTIFUL.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] on lucky do you have the target_operator as SPR in build.prop? If you do try changing to OPEN

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

Calendar and calculator are also great looking. And the keyboard. Most of the LG stuff is still just bloat though. The downside is LG's color scheme is nice on its own but clashes horribly with Google app icons.

I really want to fix the fonts in notification shade. Any ideas how to do it? Seems like it is style.xml in lgsystemui.apk res/values/but I don't know how to recompile
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cmf04:
No GPS..that is a deal breaker for me. Hopefully their is a fix, because this is a good looking ROM.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
On Lucky, everything works except 4g and messaging.

I didn't mess with it much, but I tried both ways and no luck. But i haven't spent much time on It yet. Hopefully this weekend I can.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cmf04:
So I installed Lucky, messed with the build.prop for a while, and 4G and messaging are working (just not the default messaging app, use Hangouts, hello sms, etc.).

Still no luck with the GPS, any suggestions?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
How do you determine if gps is working or not on KitKat?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cmf04:
I have tried to use google maps and many other gps testing apps..none of them lock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dwielunski:
I mean, in JB there was a notification that came up, "location set by GPS". My location locks but it might be using wifi, how can I tell?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cmf04:
Download GPS Status from the play store and run that.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
What mods did you make?

You can try our original way by making a backup, restore stock, get a good lock, then restore Lucky.

See if that works.
