Clarification

First of all, is this thread dead or will anyone reply within a year.

All I want is Lollipop 5.0+ something and xposed framework for my AT&T Note 3.

I am coming from 4.4.2 JellyBean ; BaseBand NC2, root it with TowleRoot, Install BusyBox, Install SafeStrap...

Then what? This?:

Or do whatever OP means that if you come from 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 you must do this:

So what are the step by step instructions here?

Posts in this thread repeatedly say you must go from OC1 to OC2. To my understanding flashing with SafeStrap can not be done in Lollipop, so must I use TWRP and flash again after Lollipop?

Ended up getting this ROM instead:

Make sure you use the AP slot to install it. Then it should reboot to safestrap.

I'm getting an invalid link error on mega when trying to download the OC2 rom in your op.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] timark251:
Got back into safestrap and now my phone is booting, thank you both for all your help. It does help to double read instructions before proceeding to install something, even when you've done it multiple times before.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pjlphil:
Very good to know! However, when I try to install the NC2 Flasher APK, I get a "there is a problem parsing the package" error. Do you know what that might be about?

Flashed this and the phone just stuck at a bootloop not sure why maybe because the xposed? Anyone out there have the deodex OC2 zip the link on the OP is gone
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] RETIEF:
Works well! Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
Flash the FC fix and it went through, if you have xposed install you need to reflash first the deodex oc2 zip then flash the FC fix to make it boot (No need to factory reset). Thanks again carl now everything is perfect
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] timark251:
FC fix has cleared up all my problems, thanks for the quick fix [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION]
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rsalib:
Xposed or FC Fix

It seems if I flash the xposed zip, i get FCs in settings, contacts, etc. (usual suspects)

I can either flash the xposed and get to use the modules

OR

Flash the FC Fix and everything works normal

Has anyone got them both to work?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
I updated op with updated rom.

You do not need to install supersu.zip or any fix.

Anyone with issues from previous rom, just download and install with out wiping.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] travperk:
You brother, are fr¡ckin AWESOME !!

Thank u soOoO much !
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] rsalib:
I still get FCs if I install the xposed framework. No big deal. I just won't use Xposed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
what rom do have ? deodexed or stock odin

only works on deodexed rom

did you try xpose on op?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hitmizzle:
Carl, I just installed your updated rom and am still getting FC in settings and contacts. Will try the FC fix again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
yes
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
Installing XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and GravityBox_Lollipop_5.1.4.apk

copy xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-krait.zip, XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and GravityBox_Lollipop_5.1.4.apk to sdcard and reboot

Boot to SafeStrap Recovery and Installed the xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-krait.zip, Do second boot (if you get a response error like I did)

and then install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and GravityBox_Lollipop_5.1.4.apk, then go to XposedInstaller and under module check GravityBox, then reboot phone , after reboot you can start gravity app and do your changes. NOTE some things might not work if there not related to aosp.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hitmizzle:
I don't think this reply was meant for me. I was unable to download your FC fix because it appears you deleted it from op. I had to restore my odex OC2 backup again to get rid of the FC.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
Correct , it was meant for the post about xposed FC
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hitmizzle:
Still getting FC with the updated deodexed ROM. I am not using xposed. Same issue as before.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
You try a wipe (factory reset )

When I did test on updated rom it was clean install
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] paluinfusion:
I am on AT&T official OC2 latest. How do i install this ROM. I cant get safestrap working, as no root.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
You have to install NC2 firmware and tr.apk for root, busy box and then safestrap, to install this rom.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] paluinfusion:
I have all the latter ones towelroot/busybox/safestrap.. can u point me to NC2 firmware installation

Lollipop is notorious for battery drain issues, even when "fixed".
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] alanmv567:
Has anyone else tried their S note app? After you open it and try to press the menu button it exits the app. Or when you have a note opened and press the menu button it goes back. Also with the Scrapbook app if you press the menu buttons it says, "Unfortunately, Scrapbook has stopped."? This is after applying the deoxed zip over the original.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
Redownload updated rom in op, the first oc2 rom had bad deodexed framework files. You should be ok doing a install without a wipe. If any issues just get back to safestrap recovery and do a wipe.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] alanmv567:
Thanks for the response. I downloaded the one that was updated on the 27th of this month. Looks like I will probably have to do a wipe to see if it fixes it.

Hello,

Should my baseband show also show as OC2?

Flashed the build in op and phone keeps on getting stuck in the bootloop . So I used odin and flashed the rom again in the stock slot still having boot loop issues . Should I create a new rom slot then flash the ROM ??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
you can only install in stock slot, and you need to do a wipe in recovery if comming from another phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
yes your baseband should, if not the safestrap installable OC2 firmware is on OP

How can I check to make the recovery is installed as when I click on reboot into recovery phone doesn't go into recovery ..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] alanmv567:
I actually had to apply this firmware for the menu button to work on s note app. So if anyone has any issues with the s note app exiting when pressing the menu button this zip fixes that.

So I flashed the rom and the Safestrap power menu. The phone booted up fine and everything seemed great. As I looked at the installed apps I realized I wanted to try the Safestrap Lollipop debloater so I downloaded it and flashed it and the phone did not want to boot correctly. Black screen with just white letters in the notification header. So I reboated into safestrap and dirty flashed the rom, but that did not do the trick. I booted into safestrap again, wiped and flashed rom and safestrap power menu again and everything is fine.

Has anyone tried the aroma lollipop debloater?

Rom is working fine.

Thank you Carl!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] macasus76:
Yeah same here. The rom was fine but I don't like not being able to uninstall apps. I ended up getting to oc2 thru another thread.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
I just uninstalled NC2 Flasher and rebooted and it is still uninstalled

did you redownload updated OC2 rom? maybe your still on the old one that had deodex problem

also here is updated OC2 firmware with OC2 recovery

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
Hey [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION], everything runs smooth with the new xposed. Any chance you have the OC2 baseband tar? I've tried flashing the OC2.zip in SafeStrap, but I'm still stuck on NC2.

EDIT: Just re-read the OP. Nvm.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
yes install the OC1 firmware (this updates NC2 modem to OC1) then the OC2 firmware will patch the OC1 to OC2

I will soon have a OC2 modem installer, but until then all we have it the OTA patchable installers.

[MENTION=1978478]KTownGT[/MENTION]

do you have the uninstall issues? I do not have that problem
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
I ended up on bootloop upon flashing the xposed will try later to see a fresh install later
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
check your about screen does it show your OC2 deodexed?

if you get bootloop it is usually a sign that your on a odexed rom
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] MakinG2xLovin:
Edit: posted on the q&a section could you delete this post for me ty
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
Not that I've noticed. I'll let you know if I have any issues.

However, I have a couple issues, and am flashing back to the official NC2 in odin atm for a 100% clean install. So far:

The OC1.zip fails to flash in SafeStrap; however, the OC2.zip flashes successfully (but wont update baseband).

In the system apps (contacts, email, messages, myfiles, etc.) Force closes whenever I hit the hardwear "home" button.

The phone hangs when trying to create new folders, and moving files when plugged into my computer. But, adding things to my SD card works.

EDIT: This is what I mean, and it only happens for Samsung's own apps.

you need to download the latest OC2 rom, you must have the older one

[MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] the ROM works perfectly. The FC issue starts only after flashing the Lollipop Debloater

EDIT: Not exactly sure what is causing my FC's anymore... The problem pops up after flashing just the Power menu thing + KNOX remover.

Hmm same problem for me cannot uninstall NC2 for some reason either fresh install of the deodex on the op same result nc2 comes back after a reboot, and I am having trouble on my memory card I cannot backup tibu on my memorycard it does not let me write to the card.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
Sounds like you need to install the oc1 firmware. Does your baseband read nc2 or OC2

I'm having this same problem except with the MENU button. I re-downloaded the ROM several times, last of which was 30 minutes ago. All I'm flashing is the ROM itself and the reboot mod. My build and baseband are showing OC2 and everything else seems good except most Samsung apps force close when hitting the menu button...as do some settings like wifi.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
Pretty damn frustrating, ain't it? Lol

Here's what fixed it for me:

- Flash back to the official NC2 via Odin. (Install BB, SS, SuperSU (2.49), etc)

- Flash the rooted OC1 in SS.

- Flash the OC2 ROM.

No need to flash any modems, and no problems using the debloater, Knox remover, xposed, etc.

Everything is working great now. Calibrated the battery and nabbed 5 hours of SOT while torrenting/downloading stuff.

The nexus/CM guys have been yammering on about it for ages now. Supposed to be a bug from 5.0-5.1.1 where the mobile radio won't go into a power saving mode, or something. I haven't noticed any battery issues with it though

EDIT: Here's a link to the Beta SuperSU (2.49). Flashes in SafeStrap, if anyone wants it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zv449p73smqwqde/beta-supersu-v2.49.zip?dl=0

D'oh! I just odin'd back to NC2 and then safestrapped to this OC2 ROM. It's now booting up and I just saw your post. I'll report back if I had luck going from NC2 -> OC2. If not, I'll go NC2 -> OC1 -> OC2. Thanks for letting me know how you got it to work!!!

EDIT:

Nope, going from NC2 -> OC2 yielded the same force closes. Waiting for stock OC1 to download and will report if I had the same luck as you.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
Not sure about y'all, but I never flash "just once". I either screw something up, or get cursed by random FCs

Lemme know if ya need any of the files; I have everything backed up on my OneDrive. Including crap like KnoxRAID. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] __McB__:
Did you reboot and let OC1 set up before flashing OC2, or did you just flash one right after the other? I'm about to flash OC1 and want to duplicate what you did.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
I let it set up, and gave it a few minutes after first boot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
Do you have the problem of cannot remove the NC2 flasher app It will uninstall for the moment but after you reboot its back, I have tried from stock NC2 flash OC1 let it reboot and flash the OC2 on the OP and still no go, I am getting frustrated :(.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
I haven't tried to uninstalling it. Would freezing the app in TiBu be a decent compromise?

There has to be something similar to revo uninstaller (awesome program, btw) for android though. Might be worth looking into
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
I guess thats the only way any way what zip do you use to flash OC1 I am using the one that walter posted on the general forum.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
Haven't needed it on the most recent flash.

I believe there is a flashable OC1 kernel baked in to this ROM though
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
I mean when you start from stock NC2 then flash OC1 rom and OC2 rom, I was thinking maybe you are flashing a different OC1 Rom
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] KTownGT:
Stock (crappy) 4.4.2 NC2 (ODIN), OC1 rooted ROM from Walter's thread, this OC2 ROM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
Ok for those people who has problem uninstalling the NC2 flasher app just delete the folder data inside the zip then flash it again it will not be installed anymore but make sure you have the safestrap power menu installed after you flash the rom so you can access safestrap, and for those who have problem with there tibu backing up on the ext sd card I just download the app called NextAppSDFix and run it should fix it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] __McB__:
Didn't work for me. I tried every way imaginable yesterday and I cannot get this Deodexed OC2 to not FC. I'm thinking something is still messed up with the deodexing because I can get the odexed OC2 from here to work fine with no FC using the 'How to updated to OC2 with a SafeStrap OC2 Backup (rooted)' process.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hitmizzle:
Same thing happened to me. I haven't tried the method of reverting back to NC2, then OC1 rooted, then Deodexed OC2. Too much work at this point. My thought is that if it doesn't work coming from rooted OC1 then NC2 won't make a difference. I'm fine with odexed OC2. Only reason I wanted the deodexed version was for the safestrap power menu.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] __McB__:
I tried it, every way I could think of, didn't make a difference for me. I really want deodexed for xposed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
[MENTION=2006768]__McB__[/MENTION]

what if I uploaded my OC2 TWRP backup of the system, you can try installing it as a restore and then install the OC2 firmware and it should do fine
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] __McB__:
That would be awesome! Thank you!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
I think we have same problem here are the steps whats fix it for me.

1. Go back to stock NC2 root it with towel root, install busybox and safestrap.

2. Install OC1 rom from walter.white here

3. Let it boot up

4. Boot to safestrap and flash the OC2 (now if you don't want the NC2 flasher you have to remove the data folder from the OC2 zip) and the safestrap mod from the OP

5. Check your baseband if it is OC1 flash this and reboot

6. Check if you still have FC download this FC Fix (this was the zip that carl posted before to fix the FC) and flash it through safestrap.

7. Reboot and hopefully this fix it now you can start flashing the xposed mod if everything is fine
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] __McB__:
Thanks. The link in #5 isn't a valid url so it's not opening for me. I'm guessing it's just the OC2 firmware? If so, I've got that. I've done every one of these steps except #6 as I didn't have this file (think the earlier link no longer works). I can give this a try and see.

UPDATE:

The file in #6 was all I needed and I'm good. I didn't even go back to NC2. I just went to SS recovery, wiped, and installed deodexed OC2 and the power menu addon, rebooted and no FC! I'll keep checking and use it for a while but the file linked in #6 was the missing piece for me. Thanks, sinichi21!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sinichi21:
yeah that is just the oc2 firmware glad it work for you :good:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] macasus76:
I actually did try this as I was having FC's. I did the normal wipe x3 in SS restored this backup and flashed the safestrap power menu and all is great. You system actually seem a little lighter than the stock and I really like it! I removed a few other things such as Google Music and Gmail (I just use stock email as it seems to be lighter on resources), and added a few sounds and tweaks to the system. Also i extracted the stock touchwizhhome.apk from the deodexed base and replaced it with the one in the backup as I prefer the 4x5 home screen. Everything is running GREAT and I'm extremely happy with the development and hard work you guys put into these devices. With proper credit and permission to the good folks who developed the mods and tweaks, I was wondering if it were possible if I could maybe post my system backup as it is and share with the community? I just ask because I am no developer and I'm not sure how that all works. Could also make a TWRP .zip from my backup....i think...

Again thank you!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
sure that will be a better stock version as I forgot I changed my systemUI

you can post and upload it. but remember to delete the data files in the backup
