[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psilospiral:
I know I'm new here, and fairly new to flashing ROMS onto phones, especially Samsung devices such as the Verizon Note 3. But I have a great deal of experience with Atmel microprocessors and flashing these with custom C code for various embedded applications. I do know it's possible to completely "wipe" the flash area (format, if you will) and use the same microprocessor for a completely different application. (eproms, mcu's, etc.)

Isn't there a way (either via Odin, or other) that the Note 3 can simply have all of it's internal memory erased, formatted, "0"'d out, whatever - and then write the 4.4.2 tar.md5 back to the device as if it was on an assembly line at Samsung?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
There may be but that is a closely guarded secret. Normally we can fake it with jtag but there is no working jtag for the note 3. I surmise by the way development has tapered off that unless samsung releases a bl unlock or unlocked bl it will be a long wait for any custom 4.4.4 or 5.0 roms the only one maybe in the works that could fix it is the multi system thing hsbadr is working on. But I can't help but feel it is going to be more like an updated safestrap.

If there is such a method....whoever knows it...isn't talking. For all I know...the "easy way" is a motherboard swap.

Also....like many things these days, the Note 3 has several electronic "fuses" that once popped...can not be reset by any method other than replacing the IC that has the fuses in it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
That is what the reports on the tech states the reality is as of nc2 it was not implemented to burn those as people have tripped the Knox counter and got back to 0x0 or so they said.

if I was a dev and I had a working root or kernel mode exploit I would be saving it for as long as I can in hope it doesn't get patched for 5.0

it would be great to think of a way to disable enforcing check..it has to be a script that can be altered or disabled.. ALL things are written code...this isnt an entity with a mind of its own.. All code is flawed...this is why there are vulnerabilities..NOTHING is ever truly secure.

If it can be written and implemented, it can be modified and reimplemented
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyh1:
Been following this thread. I'm using a note 3 from the Samsung insights program. I still have a month and half to go before it ends. Was hoping I could root it after that. Its currently running 4.4.4. If I can't root it, I have to say, I'll end up selling it for a phone where I can root it. Its a shame Samsung thinks its so necessary to lock it down. Drives people like me to other companies. I was already looking at a used LG G3 or HTC One M8. Guess I'll be going that direction in a month in a half.

On a side note, its interesting that Samsung is monitoring all my apps, etc, with this Samsung Insights program, but they don't want direct feedback from me. I've asked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersnackbar:
I know it has about put me out as far as ever buying another Samsung or Android phone...the problem, everything else sucks worse. Since 4.4.4 I have about snapped this thing in half so many times because I spend as much time on 3G or no G as I do on 4G. My screen touches are inaccurate when I type...It gets laggy(I can be a word ahead when typing, and I'm not that fast) it freezes and locks randomly...and I can't do a reset because the damn thing won't let me put my previous pictures on my sd card anymore...and with all the hacker security breaches lately, I'm not putting anything personal on the cloud...and Verizon won't do squat about a replacement, which I don't want since I can't even backup my data on this worthless thing.

This is my 3rd or 4th different Android phone since Android came into existence, and updates always screw them up...build it release it then leave it the F alone....

It was a decent piece of equipment before the OTA...Now it sucks.

sorry, just had to do a little venting since I have a $700 dumb phone now that VZW screwed it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macschwag14:
What options do we have if there is no root? Can we wipe the stock 4.4.4 rom and flash an older 4.4.2 or even a custom rooted 4.4.4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyh1:
I've never heard of flashing a custom ROM or even an older stock ROM without first having to root the phone, on *any* phone. And I've been rooting and flashing for years. But I could be wrong.

Root NK1

**** bought a new note 3 cuz my old one was stolen by mobiletechvideos do not send you phone there for repair.

It came with NK1 on it so pissed with Verizon I am officially dumping them as a carrier for boot-locking. So annoyed with this war root will eventually be obtainable but im right with the previous post were the thing is so laggy for such high specs its ridiculous. If they want to lock the bootloader go ahead but at least give use flawless developing on there side or unlock the damn thing so someone could fix there mess. They should integrate with xda not lock them out because this site saves a lot of their customers. More people should switch companies they will understand what they have to do when they see the bottom line.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
Only thing is most verizon customers stay for a reason my reasons are grandfathered unlimited I can't get my phone from Verizon. And my other option is att which is the same bull they just use GSM and have ****ty speed and coverage. So my options are give up my fast unlimited data for capped data and a wider selection of locked phones.

best thing you can do is pick a phone that has a boot loader unlock or pony up for dev models.

also a 700$ phone warrants a police report or at least a bbb file if not a summons for small claims.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatrx01:
Need this root

Will there ever be a working root for 4.4.4.? I mean this really sucks I had to get a replacement phone after attempting to replace the screen on my phone and cracking the digitizer and this one had 4.4.4 on it. I had jasmine ROM and everything was customized now its terrible. Stuck with that my magazine BS on up swipe and loaded with crap.

If the device gets 5.0 will a root method be created for that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
it is not a matter of if but a matter of when we get 5.0. And it is hard to say that we will get root then hopefully the waiting to release root is so that vzw won't be able to patch the hole they use but I'm not optimistic and we need to use our phones in the meantime.

Do you still have your old phone if so transfer the motherboard to the new one it is a lot easier to do and just remember try to keep the serial number sticker with the right board I think the tray comes off...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatrx01:
I do have the old phone and is a mobo transfer able to fix this problem stuck on 4.4.4? I'm not really sure i've never touched phone hardware really before until yesterday.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

So I have removed the mobo out of old note 3 and kind of waiting on something from someone if that will actually solve my problem otherwise not sure I want to crack open my new one..

Edit:

I did it! It works this guy is my hero.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirrin:
that old motherboard is your old phone how you had it and everything. Now you have a choice you can try to find a bricked note 3 or a bad esn note 3 with a good screen and digitizer to put the 4.4.4 motherboard with good esn in and then sell it off

or you can stick it in your old phones leftovers and sell that as parts. As long as the sticker under the battery goes with it as the imei and serial number are printed on that i dont forsee an issue with selling it.

Used note 3 are going for 350-400 these days broken ones i would say 150-200 is what you could get from the bits. a new frame with digitizer and screen installed should run around 100-300

Excerpt:

Stagefright Bug 2.0 — One Billion Android SmartPhones Vulnerable to Hacking

How Stagefright Bug 2.0 Works

Both newly discovered vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-6602 and CVE-2015-3876) also reside in the Android Media Playback Engine called 'Stagefright' and affects all Android OS version from 1 to latest release 5.1.1.

Reportedly, merely previewing a maliciously crafted song or video file would execute the Stagefright Bug 2.0 exploit, allowing hackers to run remote codes on the victim's Android device.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
Developers/hackers who had come up with earlier ways to root the Verizon Note 3.

Most of them have moved on to newer models and have no more interest in the Note 3. Plus those who are trying these new exploits and are getting nowhere.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uplusion23:
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum if I have done so! I couldn't find any section for this phone or its variants.

I was hoping to get my phone merged to Straight Talk via CDMA as this phone does not support GSM nor does it have a SIM slot.

Model: SCH-R530X

Model name: GALAXY S III

Country: United States

Version: Android 4.4 [Paranoid Android 4.6 BETA 5 for D2LTE]

Mobile Network Type: CDMA EvDo rev A.

Baseband/Modem: R530XWWUBMK4

Firmware: JSS15J.R530XWWUBMK4

Kernel: 3.4.104-cyanogenmod-g80424e3-aospal@90.hostingsharedbox.com #1 [Tue Oct 21 21:50:49 EDT 2014]

I have the stock firmware backed up on my system. My APN under Mobile Network > Access Point Names is blank, adding does nothing. Tried resetting, yet my /system/etc/apns-conf.xml contains all the default apns from the stock R530X firmware.

Anyone know how set this phone up for Straight Talk [I have an existing plan]
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envision08:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uplusion23:
I've gone through the whole process using both Stock and Paranoid Android ROMS. I've ensured I have the latest baseband, yet I am unable to get the Straight Talk BYOP CDMA to accept my phone. It just refreshes saying there was an error. And ideas? Do I have to add their APN first? Should I have my phone off of Airplane mode when doing it? Should it be set to Evdo or CDMA or WCDMA or GSM/CDMA?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uplusion23:
Just a Friendly bump.

I've gotten connection to 1xRTT via CDMA network selection, and EvDo.Rev A using EvDO Only. CDMA was more reliable for the Verizon towers locally, whereas EvDO Would disconnect from service every 15-20 seconds. I still haven't been able to hook this up via Straight Talk. Anyone else able to give some feedback?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lrs121:
I've tried checking my d2xar for compatibility with straight talk. Mine wasnt supported. since these phones are verizon based you might look into pageplus. the plans are pretty crappy but you might get them to add it to the network.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uplusion23:
Thanks for the information. I caved and bought an S4. Verizon model. I don't know what I will do with the d2xar. If you want, I can assist on your website with some styling of some sort? I'd love to give others with this phone some information about it, since you're the only dev I've seen touch it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lrs121:
I'd be grateful if you're willing to spend some of your free time cleaning up the website. Let me know and we'll work on getting what you need. I've got someone to help admin the forums and well have that open as soon as he and I have time to sit down and set things up. When that's done you should be able to point them there to get more help since people with the d2xar seem to be ignored here on xda.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timebandi:
Hi

I had an accident with my OPO and the screen is smashed.

I can access the phone with ADB when in Custom Recovery mode only.

Before I even decide to replace the screen I want to test the speaker to make sure nothing else is broken. I think the speaker is damaged as well but need it confirmed.

I'm running CM12 Nightly on my OPO and the keylock etc is on so I can't unlock and do much with it.

But there has to be a way to play a WAV, MP3 or something to test the speaker?

If I can flash a new bootanimation with sound that would work as well as I think I can flash with the twrp command in shell.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:

Found an option in Cerberus to make the phone sound :) Speaker is intact! :)
