Yep. I actually managed to do it before you replied.

Restarted it, booted to recovery, wiped cache etc. and restarted it and BOOM...

Only other question I have is about WIFI.

I've never looked at my wifi throughput on the Note 3 before, but I'm observing something bizarre.

If I run my PC through wifi to my router, I get throughput on speedtest.net like I would expect for fibre (UK).

If I run my Huawei WindowsPhone through the same wifi and test the throughput on Speedtest app, I get similarly predictable results.

If I run my stock Xperia Z Ultra or my Note 3 (latest UK FW) through the same wifi and test the throughput on the Speedtest app, I get results wildly fluctuating between unusably slow, and full tilt, with massive gaps of no throughput in the metering, sometimes even timing out to 'error' status.

Is this a Lollipop issue? Is it an Android thing generally? Have I borked my phone? Is there anything else I can do?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] LeandritoG:
Hi...

If I want to install a custom rom...

So I can't scape to install a new recovery, right?

So this topic isn't for me, right?

Cause I will have KNOX 0x1 anyway, right?

Cause It's impossible KNOX to be 0x0 if I need to change the recovery, right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheTAMAS:
You're right.. :p

But I'd recommend you to try this as a last resort-

Goto Kitkat

Install Mobile Odin Pro

Flash Custom Rom like you'd flash an Official Firmware

Good Luck :fingers-crossed:

Provide feedback please.. :highfive:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] am2010r:
First thank you for this awesome topic

second I have two questions

1 - If I make a factory reset (wipe data/cashe) on Lollipop will that loose root ?

2 - I want to add mod that you attached. Every time try to replace files in /system i got ''Task failed" or "No enough space" error. Note: I am using root explore & there is about 6.5GB free space on my internal storage.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheTAMAS:
Thanks :)

1. No root remains intact even after you Factory Reset (Wipe data/Cache)

2. Internal memory & system partition aren't the same thing.

System partition is like C drive in Windows & Internal memory is like D drive (so even though, C & D drive lie on the same hard disc - they are divided into 2 parts)

to overcome your issue, try & remove some (if not all) bloatware.. Cue:Root Uninstaller

Good Luck :good:

Thanks Tamas
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SilverHelmut:
Ohhh... I'm in the doo doo...

My experience following this procedure has not been a happy one...

I'm having major problems with Lollipop on my Note 3.

Followed this procedure, way back whenever it was that I last did it. The phone has been so unstable since then, I'm at my wits end, and between a rock and a hard place.

I'm now dependent on functionality that only root provides. But I'm also totally dependent (work related) on a functioning phone, a minimum of downtime, and the ability to backup call logs and text messages and restore them following whatever procedure I do next....

Downgrading isn't an option, because certain devices I use, especially Bluetooth, have no functional support under Android 4, which Lollipop provides without issue.

I can't remember which ROM I used for Lollipop. I've got an N9005, and the ROM I have on my PC from the last flash is N9005XXUGBOF1_N9005BTUGBOD2_BTU, although the phone information itself reports itself as a BOF1 Build, and BOD3 Baseband.

Phone is still under warranty, hence desire to keep Knox intact.

I'm constantly getting WIFI or BT flake-outs, which require reboots to recover stable functionality. I often have astonishingly slow speeds on WIFI, even sat next to the router and even though my Xperia Z Ultra on Lollipop rockets... Phone sometimes struggles to maintain a BT connection.

Battery life seems OK in general. No major app crashes or anything like that.

However, the phone will, several times a day and through the night, turn itself off, or black out and reboot. Sometimes it shuts off silently and I can go an hour without realising that I can't get calls or texts and have to turn it back on.

I have all apps (system and user) backed up on Titanium Backup Pro every night to SD and to Dropbox, as well as my phone logs and SMS's. After the last wipe and reinstall, I used Titanium to reinstall apps and data. Could Titanium be reinstalling something flawed?

My problem is that I need the simplest, most express, direct route to establishing a stable phone. I need my apps. I need my data. I don't have enough time to try different permutations of a newly installed ROM and then a drizzle of data or a few apps at a time.

I wiped cache and data twice after the ROM flash and root.

I don't know what else to do...

Is there a better ROM I should be flashing to?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheTAMAS:
Custom thing is normal & with the initial (longer) bit, well I am sorry for the troubles that you are facing but have you considered that it might just be a problem with the phone (the hardware) & not the software? :rolleyes:

Skip typing - hit instead.. ;)

​
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SilverHelmut:
Erm... No, actually, I hadn't considered that.

I associated the problem with the fact that it only occurred following the last ROM flash and root (following initial post in this thread).

I have tried replacing the battery and it made no difference.

Is there anything I can do to narrow down whether hardware is the problem?

I've read of people having this fault due to problems with ROM's, but not, so far, due to hardware fault...???

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Should I try reflashing with a different Lollipop ROM? Is there a newer one which might prove more stable?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheTAMAS:
Try this for the 1st part.. :good:

and I can't say anything about latest/other ROMS as I haven't tried any of them & even if I would have done so, it won't mean same outcome for you.. :(

[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
sorry to bump this up.

my phone is already on Lollipop (I just upgraded yesterday and lost my root)

so can I follow these instructions (downgrade to KitKat, get root back, upgrade to Lollipop and keep my root and KNOX 0x0)?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] wilflare:
I won't lose any data too right?

(and I can use the version of Lollipop I want instead of the one mentioned in the guide?)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TheTAMAS:
Well, yes to both your questions but for the peace of mind, I'd recommend that you back up the data.. :D

Download the OTA but don't install it yet. With a ROOTED DEVICE, use some root explorer and go to /cache folder inside the root folder of the phone and copy the downloaded ZIP file to your emulated SD card, then copy it to your PC, upload it to any server you like and submit the link here to have all firmwares in one site.

Note: u can use es file explorer to browse for cache folder it is in root..just copy the update zip to your memory card

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Entity1:
Hi guys,

First poster here.

I recently sold what I thought was an unlocked Sony Xperia Z, it turns out it wasnt.

I contacted Three, and submitted the IMEI number to get the unlock code for the buyer but by the time I had sent it to him (within 24 hours of him receiving the handset), he had put in the wrong code too many times when trying to get his O2 sim to work with it.

I believe there is an unlock[x] network [0] error, where the 0 I have read represents the number of tries left.

He has tried factory resetting it, and hard resetting it (however I dont know if this is true as I have never met him in person and cant oversee the process) and says the number remains the same.

Is there any way of resetting this number?

Cheers guys!
[Verizon LG G2] caecusscius:
I have a rooted phone, running KK- the only thing I have done is freeze a few apps and install the hotspot provision apk. BEFORE I do anything, I like to check with people who know. Check my plan:

Unfreeze everything frozen (including updater)

Accept OTA update (this will update me to 5.0)

I will loose root in the process..

Root phone using new root process

Install 39a Hotspot Provision APK to allow hot spot

Is it really that simple? I just feel like I'm missing something...
[Verizon LG G2] hd-renegade:
You will need to put the stock Hot Spot files back in, reboot before you can take the OTA. Also, before you look at the process to re-root, make sure you have the latest USB drivers from LG.
[Verizon LG G2] caecusscius:
Just to check... I don't have to uproot first right?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Iamreallybadwithusernames:
I want to do something with 13.3.2.8, if I can...

I was running 13.3.2.1 before, and everything was working fine but one day the OTA update showed up and messed up everything.

I know in previous threads about 13.3.2.8 they have said you can't do anything with it (root, TWRP) , but is there any way I can go back to 3.2.1?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
You can still root and install Safestrap (as well as ggow's HDX Nexus ROM) on x.3.2.8.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Iamreallybadwithusernames:
after i install the HDX Nexus ROM can I install TWRP then upgrade to CM11?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
No, you're stuck with Safestrap (which means no TWRP or CyanogenMod).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] schwinn8:
If you have a "legitimate" excuse for what was messed up, you could consider complaining to Amazon and see if they will roll you back (as they have done for people from 4.x to 3.2.8. They probably won't want to, and will probably lie to you and say it can't be done (as they said to many people asking for 3.2.8)... but, again, if you have a good reason, you could get away with it. I'd suggest reading up on the 3.2.8 rollback threads to see what worked for those people.

If you DO come up with a way to have them roll you back, I'm sure others would love to do this as well, so I'd also advise you to read up on how to "capture" the OTA rollback, so that you can share it with others here... just like people did with 3.2.8. We would all be very appreciative!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I don't believe Amazon agents intentionally 'lie'. Recently there has been little/no pushback on downgrading thor (7") devices from 4.x to 3.2.8. At least not reported in the forums. The confussion came with 8.9" devices as Amazon attempted to distinguish between and develop policies for Apollo and Saturn. A few users with 8.9" devices got rolled back; most others were denied until things got sorted. That created an uproar. Today Apollo (older 8.9") devices can be rolled back; Saturn (newer 8.9" w/2.5GHz processor) can not. Of course, individual agents understanding of the policy will vary. Sometimes it's just easier to call back and hope the next agent is a little more knowledgeable.

There is no need to capture the rollback file for thor; done quite some time ago.

Hey, I am no Amazon fanboy. They got dem warts like everyone else. But I do believe Amazon tries hard to make things right (when reasonable) and generally provide a level of service far superior to almost any other device manufacturer. Apple might be the exception. Oh wait, they don't roll back either ...

@Iamreallybadwithusernames: If you got upgraded to 3.2.7/3.2.8 you can not roll back. There is no evidence Amazon has ever rolled a user back from these versions. If you got upgraded to 4.x you can probably roll back to 3.2.8 ... but no further.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] schwinn8:
You're too peaceful for an internet forum, Davey126 :) But, seriously, you are correct. They may not intentionally lie, but I do take offense when people answer something without being 100% sure and/or asking if they are even a little unsure. Too often, CS agents take the shortcut and just keep following the script even when presented with contradictory evidence. As for the lack of training/forwarding of the "new" information, I can't blame anyone but Amazon for that. Yes, they do a better job than others, but that's not saying much as I think we both agree... so setting the bar that low isn't good enough and I feel they should be called out on these issues when they appear. In the end, I think we are on the same page... just wanted to clarify my point there.

As for the rollback, IF (and that's a big IF) this person can get them to perform a rollback to an earlier version, then great. I just hope they can learn the capture process and share it with others. Fact is, there is nothing technically preventing Amazon from providing an older rollback... they just don't want to for their own reasons (ie, they want to keep the device locked down). Frankly, I hate the fact that any of these devices are locked down at all. Consumers ran into this back in the early days of computers, where we were "locked down" to the OS provided, hardware originally sold, etc, which was absolute crap. Heck, remember when telephones were similarly locked down? Ridiculous. These devices should similarly not be "allowed" to be locked down.... and it's annoying to see such a backwards step in technology "policy" especially when there's no reason for it.

Lastly, regarding the Amazon customer service. Normally, I agree, they are pretty good. In the case of this device, I am VERY disappointed. I bought this device with the intent of using a specific app on their appstore. They have since removed the app from their store (it's still available on other appstores) with no explanation to me or the app maker. Furthermore, the app-maker says Amazon will likely be blocking some of the app's functionality in the near future, thereby breaking it. The device is still under warranty and I have spent many hours with Amazon support on this matter (phone, chat, and email) and I just get a runaround, repeated suggestions that I've already told them do not work, etc... and keep getting no answers (much less solutions) to anything. So, I'm rather annoyed and upset with Kindle support on this one.... hence my (hopefully understandable) attitude on the matter....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Lol! There is a pretty heavy filter between brain and fingers. We are probably further apart than you might think. As a consumer I wish all devices came unlocked. From a business perspective this makes little sense. In Amazon's shoes I would behave the same way, although I might release an unlocked 'developer' edition at a premium price point to help quell the small but vocal enthusiast community. I also understand your frustration with Amazon support. Having managed a call center (not boasting; just part of my portfolio) trying to keep agents on the same page is akin to herding cats. There are a host of reasons behind this which I won't delve into here for fear of offending someone. It's a tough job - especially given the economic pressures facing both employer and employee. That does not mitigate your personal experiences; I'd be a bit miffed too.

This is the third one of the same, I meant to quote you and dave but accidentally quoted myself and dave instead. oops.

Sorry. had some complications on my side figuring out how to log back in when I initially made this account with my google account....

Anyways, some users have tried manually downgrading with the 3.2.5 file, and have failed (in some cases even bricked their devices). So it actually isn't possible (someone probably could hack the device to figure out how to allow it to roll back from 3.2.8, but that would probably take longer than figuring out TWRP & other root things for 4.5.3)

My device DID come with 13.3.1.0, I wanted to stay on stock (a mistake) so I used one of those OTA disablers, which (as the title states) didn't work.

but amazon decided that they didn't care that I got rolled back, and one morning when I turned it on, I was back on 4.5.3.

I wonder if I could make up some drama about my device having some issues or whatever, and they would replace it and maybe it would come with 13.3.1.0? (it actually has been picky about WiFI, so maybe I would actually legitimately get it replaced)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
If the device is still under warranty and you are having troubles with WiFi then I would not hesitate to engage Amazon on remediations which likely will entail swapping out for a refurbished unit. I think it unlikely the replacement will arrive with 13.3.1.0. Not what you wanted to hear but 13.3.x.x is getting long in the legs. Amazon would rather you be on 13.4.x.x and likely is imaging refurbished units accordingly.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ja49902:
just had kindle fire hdx replaced

Amazon just replaced my kindle fire hdx about a week ago and the reverb unit I received had 13.3.2.1 on it. This is the second referb I have gotten from amazon with 13.3.2.1 so there is at least a chance if they send you a replacement that it will have a 13.3.2.1 on it just be sure to keep WiFi off cause it will try to update as soon as it connects to wifi. Until you get root with towel root and use hdxposed to prevent updates. Good luck
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Alternatively, use HDX Toolkit which offers both root and OTA blocking along with several other features. Hdxposed it it can become disabled (including the OTA blocker) if, for whatever reason, xposed framework doesn't load properly at boot. HDX toolkit disables and/or renames OTA services. I have yet to hear of a Kindle auto-updating after applying this blocker.

BTW - great to hear a Amazon is still distributing refurbs with 3.2.1! Kinda amazing given the aggressive steps (efuse) Amazon took in later versions to block rollbacks.

Here is a thread to discuss which modules work and dont work on the new Xposed for 5.1. I will update list as i have time, but hopefully this can ease the modules posts in the Xposed development thread. Keep in mind not every module will work for every rom. Use @ own risk. Nandroid before testing. Thanks.

Also don't ask or post about warez "patcher modules" they won't be added to the list and are against XDA rules.

To easily recover from bootloop, reboot to recovery and delete the file /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list

If your desired module isn't in a list, contribute by testing and reporting about that module. Thanks.
