If you followed the original thread, once I got it booting I was battling a few errors and then I went to bed and when I woke up there was like 40 new builds up of people fixing things from this angle and that angle before I even got a chance to work on those other things and none of it was traceable so there was things from every different angle thrown in there trying to fix things. I spent the entire beginning part of the 4 series cleaning it out but then I finally got to the point that it was better to start all over with everything and redo it. Should definitely be a heck of a lot cleaner now even just looking at the repos and a lot easier to figure out issues now.

How much of the ramdisk can you use from the n4?

Also once you rebase, can you grab me your avc denials from dmesg? This way I can craft a new sepolicy for you guys

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_solo1337:
Heya, I'm very new in the vast world of Android rooting and flashing and I've run into yet another problem trying to flash my N900A Note 3 variant. I finally got it SIM unlocked and rooted and just when I'm getting ready to flash I see something about bootloaders. I don't know how to check to see if it's locked but I'm more than certain it is. So, is there anyway to unlock the bootloader? I see people saying it can't be unlocked yet I see guides for unlocking them so really all I'm looking for is a straight answer.

And if I understand it right, Safestrap isn't something I want to do if it's not the 'real' thing, so if it can't be unlocked then I'll be looking into another phone. If I do, would it be better to get another Note 3 variant or the Sony Xperia z1s?

Thanks in advance.

AT&T models are locked at the bootloader, and there's no way to unlock them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denied1977:
I have similar question....I have 9005 version and want to put new bootloader.....I put new NF2 modem and now i want to put NF4 bootloader....

Is it enough just to instal it through odin? :confused:

(Searched for instructions but couldn't find it.....)

Thanks....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_solo1337:
Okay, I have a few questions on this subject.

Safestrap is a work-around a locked bootloader right? If I use it to flash a rom would there be that much of a difference?

If using safestrap pretty much the same thing then why do people still prefer to have unlocked bootloader?

Because I see guides to unlocking bootloaders, does this mean that it's just AT&T that won't let us unlock this phone version?

Sorry for the questions, I just want this stuff cleared up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jisoo:
You can't change the kernel if your bootloader is locked, so safestrap only works with TW-based ROMs -- no cyanogenmod our other AOSP variants.

AT&T is one of the carriers that forces the OEMs to lock the bootloader. I believe Verizon is another one. No other carrier seems to care, or have enough power over the OEMs to force this.
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
Hey all, so I own a Galaxy Tab 2 and a developer there was kind enough to show me the Terminal Emulator commands for backing up the EFS into an .img file. The commands were:

su

busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/efs.img bs=4096

exit

And to restore:

su

busybox dd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 bs=4096"

exit

I'm pretty sure the commands aren't the same for our G2 and was wondering if anyone knows the proper commands (or if they are same)? I have a VS980 running stock KK (24A) with Simple Kernel (newest version). I also have Xposed and V4A installed if that matters.

This would benefit A LOT of members on here if anyone knows for sure!

(I have a TWRP backup of EFS as well, but having more than one type is a good thing, right?)

So, I love the custom roms which allow me set to set my lock screen wallpaper to a custom image. Only problem I have is I don't care for the darkened appearance of the wallpaper. I wish I could turn this off. My research has found using gravitybox xposed module. But, as I read that thread it isn't recommended for changing one small feature on already heavily customizable roms. So I would rather not go that route. Is there another way, like maybe a flashable zip, which can turn off that darkening? I am currently using Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4.

Hi,

I can't get the GPS to work at all! I have tried the fixes in the engineering mode but these don't seem to help.... I have flashed Loki's ROM on my 2100 EU TS... Is there anything else that I can try... oh it did once register a single satellite when my phone could see 20+
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Did you have an active data connection? No data connecting can result in lock times taking as long as never but usually 10-20mins.

Yeh I'm connected to wifi.... Im going through the tutorial here....

https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/...5977803770477257170&oid=111628072657804333818

When im in the engineering mode and click on "EPO (IDLE)" this changes to downloading, it just continually says progress=0 and then seems to just say it failed..."EPO Update Failure" it does seems to have mentioned progress=25 once or twice...

UPDATE:

OOO I just noticed 11 are in view but 0 are in use :S

So does that mean I need to always be connected to internet to get the GPS to work or is it just the initial fix?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Pretty much every time, unless you stay in the same general (read "very local") area.
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
EPO: Requested download normally fails for me too. It ususally works eventually, but the data is older than preferred, I believe the locking is faster with a week old than a month old data (no real test though).

The app MT GPS downloads EPO, so you can speedup acquisition. EPO affects "sats in view" rather than the locking of them, so it may not help now.

A-GPS requires mobile data (and possibly Wifi) and speeds up locking by triangulating. Locking works fine for me without AGPS in the same area.

Another tip is to set NTP and relax locking requirements. This can be done with FasterGPS app. (You can edit gps.conf yourself too.)

Downgrade?

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 - I was on Gummy-M1.2-03-10-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte with pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140207-signed.

I was on I upgraded the other day by flashing:

What is preventing people from being successful in downgrading back to 4.4.2? If re-flashing the old stuff isn't a good answer, do you know if a simple restore of my Nandroid backup would take it back?

Information on F2FS

There is some information in the Quantum thread starting with http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53958476&postcount=17136 and several of the posts following it. I tried to get the ROM running but never could get the kernel to boot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aircooledbusses:
Same here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nico3d3:
Same question here, I can't even find the option to format data partition in f2fs. I installed latest version of TWRP (2.7.1.0) and I looked in Advanced wipes menu, I selected "Change filesystem" option and it showed me the filesystem choice menu, but I only get the option to use ext2, ext3, ext4 or fat, no f2fs option. I also tried with Philz recovery but I see no option for f2fs in it too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aircooledbusses:
philz has the option in mount advanced format and you have to toggle ext4-f2fs.

decronic has an successful method for the N5 and has been helpful in supplying tools to convert a rom f2fs and attempting to get me off the ground but the kernel seems to fail on my attempts.

here is a flashable zip to format system, data, and cache for the d2LTE devices. It will completely wipe the internals of the phone so be sure to have an external sd card prepared for your next steps.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nico3d3:
I'm attempting to make it work now. I installed Philz Recovery 6.48 instead of 6.26 and I now have the f2fs option. I tried formatting all partitions to f2fs (sytem, data and cache) and I modified the updater script, using the instructions in Quantum Kernel thread, but it failed to boot (won't go past boot splash screen). Now, I'll try to only format /data and /cache partitions.

Edit: using only f2fs on /data and /cache, it won't go past the boot animation. It's a pain in the ass for now, nothing's working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nico3d3:
It successfully booted by using f2fs only on /data but it stopped dead in its track, when it showed a screen telling me that encryption is unsucsessful and that I need to perform a factory reset. Looks like there's really no way at all to make it work. Flashing a different kernel didn't change anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aircooledbusses:

Edit: also getting the encryption error when formatting data only
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JJohnson1988:
Haven't managed to get it working yet.

I tried flashing a recent CM nightly (with the default kernel) in vanilla CWM, Philz Touch CWM, and TWRP and no luck with any of them. Flashing the Format-All-Partitions zip doesn't seem to work, and if I use the F2FS format options already included in Philz Touch, I am never able to mount /system afterwards. I didn't even have the option to switch to the new file system in TWRP.

So I'm not too sure what's going on. Is it a recovery issue? Or is our device somehow permanently limited to what file systems we can choose from? I'm out of ideas at this point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] f41lbl0g:
f2fs s3

Theres barely any roms or kernels that support f2fs for the d2att s3. I think it has to do something with the compatibility of the rom. Pwncakes has said that his kernel does support f2fs, but im confused whether the rom supports f2fs. Also, most of the tools for f2fs are for the nexus devices, so there might be some error in the compatibility of them. Other devices like the i9300 have kernels that support f2fs as well as dualbooting, but it hasn't picked up for the d2att yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RoryB:
I'm not positive, but I think the kernel can be either-or, but the ROM can only be one or the other. So the ROM will have to be made specifically for f2fs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] f41lbl0g:
compatibility

Major kernels such as Kt747, leankernel and QuantumKernel all support f2fs, but theres no compatible rom to go with it. I would love the speed boost of f2fs on my phone if it were possible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JJohnson1988:
The interesting thing is I tried the F2FS ROM converter tool that was posted in the Quantum thread. The output zip looked like it did in fact have some changes to reflect support for the file system, but I still couldn't get past the kernel image on boot with TWRP. With Philz Touch, I was still unable to mount /system after flashing the ROM.

please post back your progress. Device maintainer said that it has something to do with the Fstab that is preventing it from working for us.

my expirience with Dechronic's rom converter is that it makes use of a modified boot image. I fear the one I have is too old to working with so I am sort of stuck waiting for a further development. its a shame too, I have a spare S3 I can be a little risky with.
