My phone is rooted and am running 4.4.2 / NG6 and am trying to find a Safestrap that will work. So far I have not had any luck locating one. Anyone have any ideas on this? I have searched and looked and about at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated very much. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kclive:
I found a working safe strap, did a backup, flashed a ROM (probably the wrong ROM) and now when I try to boot the phone I get a message to the effect of "Verizon has found software on this phone...." and it will not boot. The problem is I can't get to safe strap to restore my backup. Any ideas?

Verizon Note 3, can a custom rom be put on 4.4.2?

Does this odin of the nckernel.tar.md5.zip work on 4.4.2? And can a custom rom be added with or after?

I have Verizon Note 3 with 4.4.2 on it. I have safestrap 3.75. What I want to do is put Nitroglycerine's Note 3 Eclipse ROM on it. Can anyone give me a step by step guide. I've searched the forums, but it is like finding a needle in a haystack. I recall seeing a video guide by droid modder x which showed replacing the stock rom slot with a custom rom in its place, but I think that was for 4.3 note 3's. Is it possible to get Eclipse TW Note3 v.2.01 on a 4.4.2. I have a house full of rooted phones via Odin, never used safestrap much, and a bit concerned since Hash looks like he has to work on other things besides safestrap.

So can we get a custom rom on note 3 verizon with 4.4.2?

safestrap/jasmine rom question

Hi I have a Verizon note 3 with jasmine rom v2.0. Rooted, flashed NC4 over NC2, on 4.2.2. used safestrap 3.75 but this was a little while ago. Done some poking around and havn't really seen anything as far as if there is a version of safestrap where the rom slots work. Or do I still need to install my rom to the stock slot? Looking to upgrade to the newer jasmine rom. Would the instructions be the same as the old ones for installing? If someone could help me out or point me to the right thread I would appreciate it thanks!

Flashing NC2 Kernel

Im currently on NC4 OTA with Safestrap installed and working. Custom roms do not work, however. Most threads all say to flash the NC2 kernel, which will allow me to install custom roms to other rom slots.

Is this correct? Do i only need to flash the NC2 Kernel? And if I do, will my NC4 stock rom slot still boot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpgrim:
If I remember right you'll need to Odin nc2 over nc4 so that your roms will work. Also with using safe strap on the note 3 I think you will have to flash to stock slot none of the other rom slots were workin at the time when I was flashing mine over so make a good backup through SS before you do anything. It's been a while since I've messed with mine still running jasmine 2.0. Just find a good set of instructions or video and go with it :)

Cannot save or install ROMs - Rooted, SafeStrap installed, Knox OK

Howdy, folks!

I understand there is no more support for SafeStrap. Posting anyway, hoping an unofficial reply may be helpful... Thanks.

As I understand it, in order to save or install ROMs I *must* use SafeStrap. Is this so?

I see 3 different SafeStraps at

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=1481#downloads

3.75 b03 / 3.65 / 3.75 b04

Maybe using a version other than the one I already tried (3.75 b04) will fix my issue?

My Verizon Note 3 details: SM-N900V / Android 4.4.2 / Kernel 3.4.0-1487472 / build version NC4 / bootloader NC4 / Knox = 0x0 / Build date 4/28/14.

Device is rooted (via TowelRoot and confirmed with Titanium Backup). Safestrap 3.75 is "Installed". BusyBox 1.232 is installed.

When I run SafeStrap the screen shows "State: Installed" and "Safe System: Not Active".

Tapping "Reboot to Recovery" does reboot the phone but I do NOT get any options to save or install any ROMs. The phone just reboots.

I thought I read somewhere I may need to (somehow) roll back to NC2... Or try something called ODIN? I dunno...

Any ideas, folks?

Thanks much!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gypsy214:
So I went ahead and risk to flash this rom. The developer said it support all note 3 models.

It is a S5/ note 4 rom. I like it. Using it as driver until jasmine updates to 2.5.

Anyways there some things of the note 4 s note that I can't use because of Knox. Here is the rom and some screen shots from me. By the way I have t-mobile service. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-t2891226

I tried to install this on ROM slot 1 to give it a try, but it wouldn't boot. How did you install this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] raveniselizabeth:
I tried it on stock slot and it booted but no 4glte and lotsa bugs. . Sticking to JasmineROM 2.4.1

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] gypsy214:
Yeah flashing a rom on slot 1 doesnt seem to work. I get lte on tmobile service. But the only bug I found was the after a reboot I loose cell connection and cant get it back.... But I'm testing roms from other variants without a kernel and so far im getting them working. We do have the same motherboard so there shouldn't be a problem on porting these roms. As of right now im porting hyperdrive from tmobile variant since its more updated than ours. Once I get it all working fine. I'll ask the developer if he let me take the porting of that here since he doesnt have a verizon note 3. Me and a friend also trying to port the sprint rom 4.4.4

Still don't have an option to change the Apn . Frustrating because seems like a good rom to try out[emoji20]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dhufford81:
If it's such an easy task why don't you unlock the bootloader? If you really really really want liquid smooth, perhaps make a more informed purchase next time and buy a dev unit or a phone whose manufacturer supports unlocking like HTC or Motorola.

You can access the apns by using voice dialer and saying APN or use *#*#4636#*#* :thumbup:

With a locked bootloader you will not find a flashable kernel. You can only odin flash it.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atluriharsha:
Hi, just received delivery of Moto G 2 Gen. (2014). Tried testing the phone everything works fine except the front camera. When I launch the camera app, I'm able to use the primary camera as usual, but when I try to flip to front cam to use it, the app crashes with error message " Camera Error" "Please restart camera". When I tap Ok and relaunch it, its the same issue again. I tried to clear the app data, force stop it and even factory reset it.

Also tried updating the camera app to the latest update available version 3.3.20.8 but the issue is still there. I tried installing "Retrica" camera app and was able to make the front cam work only for a flash of second and it didn't work again.

Is this a glitch in the camera app or the software build or did I receive a defective device? Please let me know if I have to go for a replacement or shall wait for the software update. Any input or help is appreciated.

Attached a screenshot of the error screen. Thank you.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
Front camera working flawless here! Whether your error is a software or a hardware failure is hard to say. My hunch is a software error: the driver of your front camera isn't running well. But as said, that's just hunch! You said you already did a factory reset of the whole device? Maybe you can add a logcat, so some developer can look into it (I'm not so good in reading logcats).

Otherwise I'd return my device and use the warranty to get a replacement!
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kunal5894:
Doesn't seem normal. I own the device and know 5 people with the same device, none of them have this issue. Get it replaced.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hanfordrob:
Does anyone know how to stop the WiFi from turning on automatically ? I have all of the options for the WiFi off and I'll turn the WiFi of but my WiFi will still turn on and say there is a hotspot available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] whoamanwtf:
You mean the options under Advanced in Wi-Fi settings you have off right? If so I am not sure I have not noticed my Wi-Fi coming on without me hitting the toggle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hanfordrob:
Yes all the settings in advanced are unchecked,I will turn off my WiFi and next thing ya know I'm getting a notification that there is a hotspot available and sure enough my WiFi is on again! Its starting to get annoying that I get the hotspot notification all the time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] whoamanwtf:
That is odd, one of the options under advanced is to make it so it does not try to connect to hot spots in general, also the other says to make it not scan while Wi-Fi is off. If both those are unchecked and it is still happening then there is some sort of issue I would guess. Hopefully someone else with the issue pops in here after a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JBH_Film:
Me too

Yes, this is happening to my Note 4 as well. All settings in WiFi>Advanced are "off" and when I go walking through the neighborhood and turn on the phone I get a screen showing a list of wi-fi networks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Volvogia:
Im gonna guess everyone has saw this already but thought i would post it anyway. In the advanced menu in wifi,there is a section called Always Allow Scanning. Description says "Let google location service and other applications scan for wifi networks, even when wifi is off". Sounds as if that could be the issue but if everything is already unchecked in the advanced settings menu, then im at a loss as well. Im gonna test this on my Note 4 and see if i am getting the same issue you guys are getting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
Nope no issues here i don't get that i turned it off, and i would know this cause if i walk in Walmart i use to get that on the the Wifi Hotspot not no more since i've turned it off, use to tell me the same for kmart or the AT&T Store where i live no more since i've turned it off!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] blastedbilly:
Try disabling AT&T Smart Wifi. Could be the cause, especially if its alerting you to "hotspots".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Limeybastard:
I have the T Mobile version and it does the same. The white menu pops up telling that there is Wi Fi available, listing hotspots.

On my previous Note 3, it did not present itself as a page over my screen even if I had Wi Fi turned on. I simply had notifications of available wi fi's turned off. But it seems with the Note 4 one has to turn off wi fi completely for this to not show up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
Check in Location Services... Specifically the google stuff. One of them allows the use of your WiFi & GPS data even if they are turned off... Meaning if you choose the high accuracy mode (instead of GPS only) the location services will periodically turn those things on to better pinpoint your location (and send that data back to google)
[Droid Pro General] Kylethedarkn:
Hello, I recently got a Motorola droid pro (Android 2.3.4) and I'm looking to root it to remove some of the bloatware on it and stuff like that. I tried using SuperOneClick but it stalls on the step:

Shell rooting device...-Step #7 WaitForDevice

With the detail text being:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system > /data/local/tmp/output 2>&1

export TEMPRANDOM=50620

export PS1=END:$TEMPRANDOM;cat /data/local/tmp/output

mount: Operation not permitted

END:50620

I installed the most up to date drivers via pdanet and ran SuperOneClick as an admin. Anybody know why it stalls here? Also if there's a better way to root this device I'm up for trying that. Thanks in advance for any help. ^_^

[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
I was wondering How many people are buying nexus 6 because of lollipop? I for one am.

Imagine for a moment if Note 4 also came with pure lollipop with no crappy touchwiz which would you buy? I didn't think i would say this but i would buy note 4 and I hate samsung because of plastic and touchwiz.

Galaxy Note 4 hardware wise is far superior in almost every dept, better camera, LED notification, S Pen, better and brighter screen, better design, finger print, sd card.

Speakers would definetly go to Nexus 6 and bigger screen butnot better screen.

Biggest let down on note 4 TOUCHWIZ which is a complete put off.

I've been waiting for nexus 6 for a little while now and have bought Note 4 recently which actually is better then i expected and does look premium and if i was to remove the dreaded TOUCHWIZ it's a very appealing phone. Now i'm considering waiting for custom roms rather then buy nexus 6!!! Or can someone convince me otherwise, perhaps i've missed some nexus pro's.
[Nexus 6  General] Jfree3000:
Aosp roms on the note 3 were not reliable. I expect the same for the note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
I've never liked the samsung cameras... my s4 and note 3 had TERRIBLE autofocus. I also didn't like the way it processed pictures. For the most part, I want a decent camera but I dont need an amazing camera.

If software were the same, (no touchwiz), I still think the nexus 6 looks better, has dual front facing speakers, and a larger screen.
[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
hmm..that's a good point But surely lollipop would be fine.
[Nexus 6  General] fleadog99:
I'm getting one because of the development potential. Also it will be my first nexus (2nd Motorola). Currently am on LG G3. That will now go to the wife, since she loves the camera.
[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
The camera autofocus works brilliantly on the note 4 much improved, it's probably the best phone camera out there. Better then iphone and xperia z3.
[Nexus 6  General] gtg465x:
I would definitely buy a Note 4 if it didn't have TouchWiz. IMO, TouchWiz is very ugly, cluttered, and drags the performance down to an unacceptable level. I have used every Galaxy S and Note extensively, but I have not bought a phone from Samsung since the S2.
[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
Fair point, LG G3 was one of the most fustrating phones i've had in recent years. Never say never but i won't be buying LG for sometime until the get rid of the ui. Smart move passing it on to your wife.:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
interesting... maybe im just not a fan of the way samsung processes images but I understand the tech behind the AF system it uses so it should be reallly good. As much as it pains me to say, I have yet to see an android take better pictures than the equivalent iphone of the time.

I would've definitely bought a Note 4 if Samsung found a way to implement some of their features into Stock Android.

If you're on VZW there is a Dev edition note 4. I'm sure there will be AOSP Roms available for it soon.

But can't do TW, no no no. That's how much I hate it.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
The screen on the note 4 is in another dimension. The best display ever seen on a phone by far.
[Nexus 6  General] kkl0wn:
I was thinking the same thing.

I like some features of TW. But it is overbearing and slows down the device. I was really torn between the two phones. I have always liked the bigger phones. When I heard the new Nexus device was going to be a phablet I was already sold. Love the support the nexus devices get from devs. That's what makes it worth it for me.

No way. LG started off as a straight Samsung ripoff (both hardware and software) and now they are just meh. Boring hardware designs and ugly software.

Lollipop is a huge part of the reason I'm getting one. I have an HTC m8. Always liked their build quality and now speakers. The whole gpe Roms still don't cut it for me. Its smooth.
