I used a custom lollipop rom (echoe) and a few apps didn't work, I tried to flash an older kitkat rom (audax 18.3) and it failed. I tried restoring my audax 18.3 nandroid back up and that worked perfectly.

Just to clarify... Using philz recovery - kitkat rom flash DIDNT work,

Restoring a nandroid back up of a kitkat rom DID work.

I didn't use odin to flash either lollipop or kitkat roms. So I don't think my bootloader was changed, so you may get different results.

Hi. I have recently updated my note 3 N9005 Lte from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop and also updated the BL, CSC, CP AND PIT File. Didnt like Lollipop, lots of bug like no NFC, alarm doesnt work with flip cover, gps issue. So flasked original firmware (O2 Germany) with odin 9 but no luck. After successful installation my Note 3 just stuck at Galaxy Note 3 screen. Even tried factory reset, wipe data not still stuck at the welcome screen. Is there a way to install kitkat original firmware?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jemis1983:
Sorry for late answer!!!

Can you tell me if you resolve your problem???
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssn1978:
issue resolved

Yes the problem is now resolved. As suggested by guys in another thread, I just wipe/factor reset leaked lollipop then flashed GNG1 BTU ROM with 32 GB pit file for N9005. Immediately after flasking (before the first boot) again did factor reset and then everything worked file. I have not UK BTU version of 4.4.2.

Today perhaps I will flash my original o2 Germany original firmware over this.

Success downgrading Lollipop

Ok, by no means am I an expert but these steps helped my downgrade successfully (do at your own risk)

I have an N9005 which I upgraded to the the "leaked" lollipop ROM - It was unstable (especially with my pebble) and as such I decided to downgrade

Steps I took

1) Got Odin 3.09

2) From Sammobile I got N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNJ3_BTU.zip (UK Kitkat)

3) I uncompressed the file It gave me N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNJ3_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5

4) Started odin (in ADMIN mode)

5) Ensured "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" were ticked - All others UNITICKED

6) Clicked on AP and selected the md5 file in step 3 - waited a couple of minutes for odin to scan the file

7) On my phone pressed Vol DOWN, Home and power at the same time (and selected cont) - Phone now in download mode

8) Connected phone to PC (I had previously ensure Samsung usb drivers were loaded)

9) Odin recognised and I pressed Start

It took a while for odin to flash it, and then odin rebooted my phone - Then I panicked as the phone got stuck on boot screen - I then follows these steps

a) Switched off phone, Pressed VOL UP, home and power to get to recovery screen

b) selected "wipe data/factory reset" and executed this option

c) selected "wipe cache partition" and executed this option

d) Lastly selected reboot system now

My phone rebooted and after a few minutes (normal with a first boot) it booted correctly into kitkat - everything now stable

I THINK anyone with hang problems or unstable kitkats after reset, is due to conflicting lollipop data in the two caches ..

anyhow thought I'd share .. given I usually only leach information :p

EDIT - Just saw ssn1978 was posting at the same time as me ... glad we got to the same solution!

yes it was the official leak version NL8.I tried wiping cache and doing factory reset but it still gave error, also it was not connecting to USB 3 port. I even reflashed the official leak LL but didnt help. So I downgraded back to KK now every thing is normal. The only problem now is that when I connect my stock charge it shows that it is charging but my phone doesnt charge but when connect normal samsung charger (1 Ampere) and reconnect my stock charger after it, it starts charging. :(

Downgrading official lollipop (XEO)

Hello Note 3 users. I would like to ask (maybe someone already tried) to downgrade official (not leaked one with bugs as was mentioned) lollipop to kitkat? My phone originally had BTU kitkat, but I wanted to test lollipop and downloaded one from sammobile (XEO). Flashed as it was described in Sammobile website, everything went well. Rom is working well, but gps takes ages to fix, and only a few satellites. They are always lost while driving. Because of this reason I would like to come back to BTU kitkat again (get gps working normally again and receive future OTA updates). Can I flash Kitkat by the way "dingoo12" described? Wouldn't I mess the bootloader or something? (XEO Lollipop to BTU Kitkat)

I have tried multiple times to downgrade so that i can upgrade and stay rooted. not being rooted sucks. i have a verizon note 3 sm-n900v.

all it does is fail. I went to the sammobile and downloaded the 4.4.2 and went to Odin (tried both 3.09 and 3.10) and it's not working. it don't get 2 seconds into it and says FAIL. I wish i could downgrade it, because not have root blows extreme amounts of men's no no's.

after upgrading to offciail lollipop, it keeps restarting very often. It's in factory default mode. when left idle, it will auto restart within 5minutes.

read a couple of items online on random reboots on lollipop and i tried them

1. disable auto wifi searching

2. removing SD card

etc.

but problem still persists regardless of the number of times i wiped the partition and cache. :crying:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3to4:
Succeeded!

Hello,

I was looking to buy a used N9005 with Kitkat, but there were not many. So, I had to buy one with Lollopop. I followed the basics from the 1st post and it worked. I have now Kitkat.

My Lollipop was LRX21V.N9005XXUGBPB1, and before flashing a French 4.4.2 rom downloaded from Sammobile, I checked USB debug, unchecked Reactivation lock and checked unknown sources. (I don't know all these are relevant or not.)

Then, I flashed 4.4.2 rom. The phone stayed stuck with "Samsung". So, I shut it down, went into Recovery and cleared cache and did factory reset. Then, the phone booted normally. After that, I used CF-autoroot, and installed Philz Recovery. The warranty is void now, but this was my choice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Philz is out of date. The best recovery for the phone in my opinion is twrp.

Hey there,

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering why so many people use linux to build android apps. Shouldn't Android Studio be the same for both the operative systems? I've got a pretty decent computer, so I don't think I could see any speed difference. Currently I have both OS installed on my hard disk.

Hi,

a few days i deviced to manualy flash 5.0.2 an my old n7.

flashing 5.0 already made many problems.

so i hoped 5.0.2 would be easier.

i wasnt -.-

i can flash bootloader, recovery but not system. when i flash system (fastboot flash system system.img, all drivers corectly installed) it lasts ours until my pc says something new like "too many links" or so. but not every time it comes to an error message. sometimes nothing happens (waited 2 days!)

the n7 it selfs dont react then.

at flashing 5.0 it helped me to change the filesystem and change it back. at 5.0.2 nothing helps. also cant flash back 5.0

bootloader is 4.23.

has anybody an idea?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
What filesystem are you trying to use? Keep it at ext 4 until you get the 5.02 system flashed. Try a fastboot format system before flashing again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etsch:
I switched to ext3 and instantly back to ext4 . Never tried to flash on an other filesystem.

The format command I will try
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etsch:
i love you :D

this is embarrassing for me. i tried everything i knew. i also formated the system partiton in recovery. but to format it via fastboot doesnt come to my mind
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
So I take it that formatting system with fastboot allowed you to successfully flash system.img? I hope you have your N7 up and running on 5.02.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etsch:
Yes you're right.

I flashed 5.0.2 . So far so good.

But it won't install apps. So I wiped the cache and now I have a bootloop:D today after work I will look after that. But I'm happy that I can flash normally
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EjđiSixo:
Hi everyone!!

Some time ago there was a discussion about data only sim cards (in Japan). Basically data only SIM doesn't connect to network like normal voice sim so the os boosts radio signal in search for that (non existing) signal. Then you have a huge battery drain and phone gets hotter.

Apparently the fix was some docomo sim patcher module for xposed. The module is removed if you search in xposed but it can be found online. In all discussion I dont see nobody mentioning kitkat, only ics and jb. I saw somewhere that this problem is supposed to be solved in kitkat but its not. In kit kat there is signal bars but cell standby is high and battery drain is huge. Have in mind that this happens exactly the same on various devices ( Im now on OnePlus one).

I installed the module, and it solved the cell standby (it used to be 100% and now is much less) but time on says as long as the actual time on of the device and although battery life is better it still drinks too much battery no matter if on LTE or 3G. Mostly i notice that battery drain is way too huge when cell phone is in stand by.

Did anyone finally got around this problem? Is there some up to date fix? All I found is very outdated, and no clear solution either.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EjđiSixo:
I guess the solution is to pay a little bit extra for sms function, that way phone should connect normally to network and I think there shouldn't be no problem. Somebody please confirm if you tested. Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EjđiSixo:
So turns out that patch did fix part of the problem, but now here is another problem. Patch is a xposed module and as you all know ,xposed doesnt work in Lollipop.

What is the possible workaroud?

Is there any way to change the code so that phone doesnt look for network when sim is inserted?

I get signal bars but it says no service and in battery settings network signal is red (as if signal is terrible all the time while Im actually missing only 1 bar). When I set apn lte sign appears and internet works (along with huge battery drain)

Thanks, would help a lot if my phone isn´t discharged after half of the day... ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EjđiSixo:
Well, nexus 5 and battery are not best friends to begin with. I am also on Nexus 5 currently. The best bet is to activate sms option which is only 100yen more monthly, and that way phone should register to network probably. Only problem is you have to buy sim again (at least in my case with biglobe).

You can also toggle airplane mode every time you dont use internet ,thats what Im doing right now,although wont save that much.

not

the case. I've used multiple Android devices in Japan over the past 2 years with these "MVNO" SIM cards and every single one has the issue of battery drain. The iPhone does

Hey guys, long time no see.

Since my super popular forray into baseband modification my girlfriend has had my trusty old xperia Z c6603 until this morning. Of course, the first day of 2015 sets off with a bang.

After unplugging her phone this morning, it locked up. (this happens sometimes, once out of every 10 unplugs) She reset it with volup + power as usual and took a shower. Except today, it doesn't come back on.

This phone has never been rooted. It's had an alternate baseband flashed (of course, lol), and it's been working fine for 2 years. It has no water damage of any kind, and since it's me, you can expect it's in killer shape.

Volup/down + power does nothing at this point. Thinking I'm going to have to go into disassemble as described in other threads to unplug the battery, but that sucks.

Anyone else had this issue?

Hi,

I've really big problem and i hope that here i get sugestion...

1, I try flash new ROM to my phone. I copy ROM to "SD card" but in wrong version.

After this I into Flashtool get new Kernel and new ver. of TWRecovery. Then I go to recovery and start flashing as every time before...

2, But now I'm in bad sittuation. I can only get into recovery... When i want to go to bootloger, i can't. Every time when I go to bootloger from recovery, i'm back in recovery. Every time is phone reaction the same as I hold power up button+vol. up. And I'm only in recovery.

When I want transfer some ROM to phone, I can't. Cose when I Mount USB massstorage I see phone as "Elementary sys device". I have install ABD device drivers...

Changelog I can't get you, cose it's in "SD card"...

3, Please, Show me "the way" out of this sh*t... I use HTC HD2 few years, all time flashing. Now I use Xperia S for 3 yr. All time flashing. But now I'm in a wrong way ind can't get my phone to standby:)

Thank you for answers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:

Then flash the ROM via recovery!

You mean into terminal command? I need to get phone into fasboot. then I can do what I want.. Now it's dead phone... It was happend when I want to flash yours ROM. But i miss one step, flash boot.img
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Recovery is TWRP. The one with menu of install, wipe and all. You need to boot into that and use the adb on PC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] magntwo:
Yes, I'm in TWRP, exactly v.2.8.0.1, from topic of your ROM. Bud now I can't connect phone via ABD drivers. I try it via apps and two ways via Commans window.

I'm only in TWRP. I can't get to fastboot, I can't install ROM now, phone reaction is the same as I hold power up+vol up button.

I need one of two ways... 1,get phone connected with PC via fastboot to flash new kernel, boot.img and at least your ROM

2,get phone connected with PC via mass storage, to get some old ROM, flash it and get to fastboot...

For example:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You cannot use fastboot command in recovery, You can use the adb commands only. Did Yo try pushing the ROM to phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] magntwo:
Yes, I was... I have in "sd card" save my last ROM+gapps. As I wrote, two ways when I try it. One is Fail of flash by TWRP, second fall of TWRP during flash.

Ty for "want to help"! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Ah apologies, got lost while replying.

Anyways, lets start from basic. Can You try un-installing and installing the fastboot drivers? Because I suspect that's why You are not able to enter into fastboot mode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] magntwo:
I try it, but no way.. The same.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] magntwo:
I tryed my Vaio laptom and Dell laptom from my work. Both wrong... I'm completlly helplessly in this moment.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Just a sec, what combination do You use to go into bootloader? Power up+volume up? That is not what Yo do, You disconnect the phone from cable, and then turn off the phone. Then just press volume up, and connect the phone. No other button is needed to be pressed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] magntwo:
Thank you. This is the way.. Now I'm in fastboot.... I gona flash kernel 2.8.0.1, then boot.img from your ROM and finally the ROM :)
