Hey, I will tell you this: a "bad" battery will do a LOT of weird things to your phone. Mine would crash, freeze, reboot constantly after flashing ROMs off XDA. I think devs were rolling their eyes at me the newbie whenever I would tell them "I swear I didn't dirty flash!!". LOL So yeah, I ended up opening the back of phone and realized the battery was bulging and looked very much retarded. I didn't think anything of it except that I should get it replaced. It was the OEM battery and I replaced it with an OEM one as well. Next thing you know ALL reboots were completely gone!! No freezing, no crashes. It was on a Note 1st generation with the good ol' Paranoid rom. That thing was running smooth once the battery was replaced. Never would have thought of it to begin with. My 2 cents.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] swpark:
Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding! I just ordered OEM one, will throw away aftermarket ones only last 6 months. :crying:

Video Playback Issue

I don't know this is related to this thread or not. However, I haven't had the issue when playing video with Walter White's, but now I have the issue with this Deodexed like below description:

1. I used to run chrome to watch streaming video from website, and videos on Android mobile not playing after several seconds(10-20 secs), audio continues to play. (When running chrome from PC under the same network, it works fine)

2. Tested with MX Player for the streaming video and local video, streaming seems to have the issue as well. Noticed that Facebook app also stops the video after 10-20 secs.

Anyone noticed this issue before? any workaround or resolution if you have any? or troubleshooting?

Thanks,

Sparky

Xposed

How exactly do I install Xposed? Which version do I use? v75 Snapdragon installs but when I go into Xposed Installer it tells me Xposed isnt compatible with my device. I've tried v75 and v5 Krait and for both I seem to get the same error. How did you guys get Xposed to install? Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Namelesswonder:
You need the version with requestConcurrentGC. Go back to the thread and download that version of the Snapdragon zip. Also some custom Xposed installers can have issues so use the stock app.

I am coming from 4.4.2 and have safestrap 3.75 installed. My understanding is I do steps above, and I am golden. Is this really the case here? I would also imagine since this is a backup of the ROM, it also has all the ATT/Samsung crud present?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
Yes all BloatWare is there, but on op is a bloat ware remover
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sc0tty8:
Yeah I had grabbed that bloatware stripper, but wanted to validate.

So for me once I restore the backup, run bloatware remover, then oc2 flashable firmware and boot it with fingers crossed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sc0tty8:
Installed and up and running. I'm not sure if it is something I did. I noticed when updating apps after booting up, I got one random reboot. When it came back it continued to do upgrades, got a Few FC while it was upgrading the google apps. It seems alright, now. I did set a pin lock screen. The lock screen never comes on, and when I go in to disable it, it is telling me my pin is wrong, which cannot be, I've used the same one for like 4 years lol.

Other than that, thanks to everyone who made it possible, and this easy. The restore from backup is slick.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
When you look at your about phone screen, does it show oc1 or OC2

I can swipe a remote device lock off and have access to the device, go to pull down and select something else.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
You need to install the oc2 firmware download on OP

Also did you restore anything from nc2 ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sc0tty8:

Flashed the firmware, it threw up two errors, one was for the modem.bin and the one after that. It appears to be hanging out at the samsung boot animation.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
OK so you need to install the OC1 firmware first, then the OC2 last. What OC2 is a patch install for OC1 from ATT, we do not have a full OC2 firmware with out patching.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sc0tty8:
It is still hanging out at the Samsung boot animation, How can I get back into safestrap? From OS I was using NC2 Flasher.

Once into safe strap do:

1. SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip

2. SM-N900A_N900AATTEOC2_Firmware_Recovery-Flashable.zip

Then should be fine?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] sc0tty8:
This morning I went back to NC2 w/ odin

Installed towel root & rooted/rebooted

Installed busybox

Installed safestrap & booted to recovery

Factory wipe

Installed SM-N900A_OC2_Lollipop_Rooted_Deodexed_init.d.zip and

Installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Installed xposed

Installed OC1

Installed OC2, I see the same errors as yesterday here. When patching modem.bin=install error, unknown command. When patching NON-HLOS, same error. Safestrap reports it is successful.

Rebooted and is hanging out at the ATT screen-did finally load.

Baseband is oc1, build is oc2. Lock screen is also working now.

I must be doing something wrong here, I think I am doing the right things?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
the OC2 is a patch installer, did you try installing the OC1 firmware recovery installer? while in recovery just reboot so you can get back in safestrap recovery and the install the OC2 firmware recovery installer. then you install the OC1 kernel to get OC2 rom to boot.

but in reality the OC2 is identical to OC1 except for the name OC1 so as your phone is currently it will be fine.

Losing Safestrap after installing OC2 deoxed

Here's my situation:

Odin to KK

installed TR, SuperSU Busybox, Safestrap

Boot to Safestrap 3.75 recovery

Installed SM-N900A_OC2_Lollipop_Rooted_Deodexed_init.d.zip

rebooted and could not get back into safestrap recovery.

redid the whole thing and installed SuperSu after init.d.zip and the phone rebooted and I could not get back into safestrap recovery.

redid the whole thing and installed init.d.zip rebooted and I could not get back into safestrap recovery. Used old recovery to install SuperSU. Still could not get into Safestrap.

What am I doing wrong?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
In the rom is a app called nc2 flasher you use that to install nc2 kernel To get to Safestrap Recovery
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ParrotSquawk:
So from KK:

install safestrap

reboot to recovery

install deoxed

reboot

install the NC2 kernel flasher

reboot to recovery

install SuperSU zip

reboot

reboot to recovery

install the OC1 file

reboot

reboot to recovery

install the OC2 zip

reboot

After installing OC2 backup you need to install OC1 and OC2 file while still in recovery then you can wipe cache and reboot to system.

OK... here's the problem. My KK is 4.4.4 and OC1 is expecting 4.4.2 and won't install. I installed Deox rebooted and tried to run the apk but it failed to install. SU and BB are installed.

This is borked...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] aquaholik:
Must have read over 100 pages in 2 days trying to go from rooted 4.4.2 to OC1 then OC2. Now not sure if I want to even update since rooted 4.4.2 is working fine with xposed and moto tether. Seeing lots of FCs and patches. Is everything stable now on rooted OC2?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bravomail:
Dear Carl - 2 issues

1. I cannot make OC2 modem recovery .zip work - it tries to read /system/build.prop - I supplied that file with preflashing OC1. Then it still fails - baseband still reads OC1. Is there a way to copy/dd OC2 modem and share?

2. I kinda hate white and other bright backgrounds - is there a way to make them black? nothing in themes for this

and thank you for your great work on making this ROM stable. I have no other issues. Except would remove the stuff which can be found on Google Play Store - youtube, Magazines, Books, Videos, Music, Hangouts, Maps etc. When those are running in DataApp space - much easier to greenify them.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
to get OC2 firmware installed you need to install the OC1 firmware first, the OC2 firmware is a patch install for a OC1 rom,
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bravomail:
Yes, I did just that:

- NCFlasher to KK and recovery

- flashed OC1 ROM

- flashed OC2 firmware

- fails- messages

....

patching modem.bin img

E: unknown command [install_error]

patching NON-HLOS.bin

E: unknown command [install_error]

Full patching boot.img

After patching with the Stagefright files, I am still vulnerable to two of the CVE's using this ROM on my handset.

I have went into Safestrap, updated OC1 to OC2, and then patched Stagefright and rebooted.

Am I doing this correctly?

Thank you
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phlashb4k:
From my understanding you only need to apply the Stagefright patch.zip if you want to use OC1 instead of OC2.

OC2 is a vulnerability patch. Applying both might have messed something up.

I ran several vulnerability scans just now to confirm I'm not vulnerable and I'm on OC2 and didn't apply the Stagefright patch.zip.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] proskelley:
Then I don't know what I am doing wrong then...

I have tried using the restore and the zips while NOT using the stagefright zip and both leave me vulnerable.

I have tried other ROMs and once I upgrade my firmware to OC2 it shows I am vulnerable.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phlashb4k:
I ran a scan on my girlfriends phone, who's also running this ROM. She is vulnerable but I am not. I have no idea why but I'm going to try and figure it out.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] proskelley:
I went through and reflashed stock NC2 and did the OTA updates over WIFI with AT&T to OC2 and I'm still vulnerable.

Maybe AT&T's patch doesn't patch against all CVE's for this device?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] peterson65:
I have the same files detected with stagefright. ? guess att didn't fully fix it with the last update
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] phlashb4k:
I managed to flash a different patch that I had and now I'm only vulnerable to CVE-2015-6602. Once I get a full patch I'll let everyone know. Hopefully someone else sees this and points us in the right direction.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] digitalcandy4me:
I also found that the SafeStrap_Power_Menu.zip causes FC when trying to bring up the menu button (lower left physical button), so I did not install those menus for OC2. (and just use the OC2 flasher to get back into SafeStrap when needed).

Something's amiss with my phone now (which looks to be independent of the OC2 ROM), as I'm unable to set a password anymore (and restoring a backup with a screenlock password won't accept my password).

*EDIT* it appears that I was cluelessly mismtaching the "firmware" from different software versions. Either that, or I didn't follow the instructions regarding installing OC1 first and then OC2 afterwards. I was originally coming from the stock rooted OC1, but with much failing around on my part and several restores to NC2 firmware, I'm guessing that restored NC2, and failed to install OC1 firmware on my way to OC2.

Irrespective, an ODIN install of NC2, followed by towelroot and safestrap allowed me to restore my OC2 back (which was a backup of the version where I couldn't set a password). I made sure to install OC1 and OC2 in sequence and I can now set a password.

Thanks to carl1961 and others for all the work.

[MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] and others who worked overtime, ROM is near perfection and I only had to start over once 'knock on wood'. My head is still kinda spinning from all the reading and rereading. However I do have a couple of concerns if anyone could help. The first is titanium backup. Whenever I Uninstall and app...say blurb checkout. It Uninstalls but when I go to the market it still says it's installed, unless I reboot and or wipe cache. Is this normal or is there another method? Also I'm currently researching any method to fix video playback because it's a bit choppy compared to 4.4.2. I'm a cable cutter so I rely on this heavily. If anyone has any of these issues with a fix I'm all eyes.

Xposed trouble

I have gotten all the way through to the point where I want to install Xposed framework.

After flashing to OC2, I normally have to reboot into SafeStrap, and Flash the OC2 fix to change my Baseband to OC2 from OC1.

I then boot up normally to make sure it is all working.

Next I go to install the Xposed Installer.APK from OP, then afterwards I try to flash v65 or v71 using safestrap and both just leave me at either the Samsung GN3 screen where you would choose to go into Safe mode.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ryo Misaki:
You need a special version of Xposed that works with TouchWiz roms.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
You need to install the oc1 firmware first , there is a copy on OP, scroll down to where is says " if coming from KitKat or jellybean... What is happening is your nc2 modem is to old for patching.

Booted to Safestrap

Created ROM slot

Installed SM-N900A_OC2_Lollipop_Rooted_Deodexed_init.d.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Both installed successfully

Rebooted

Stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note 3 splash after ATT boot tone partially plays

Any ideas? Pretty sure I need to completely start over again with Odin.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:
we cannot use the slots with OC2 or OC1 , the reason is safestraps last kernel is NC2 so it will not run on any newer kernels, we only can install NC2 to boot safestrap to do recovery stuff, like backups and installing rom's and addon's we then have to install the OC1 or OC2 kernel to boot the OC1 or OC2. we keep a copy of the OC2 or OC1 recovery installable kernel so that is the last thing we do before leaving recovery, is install the kernel.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Luminair:
Ah, gotcha. So it sounds like I proceeded correctly, but should have flashed OC2 after I installed the ROM and SuperSu - is that correct?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] dutch55:
A few subtle things I have found:

If you really did a fresh install, you should not need to re-install the OC2 kernel. You should only need to flash the OC2 (or OC1--keep reading) kernel if you used NC2 to reboot into TWRP from the running Android OS. I regularly forget to do it, but it is usually easy to recover, since the NC2 kernel gives you a simple menu entery at reboot and you can click recovery to get back to TWRP and install the OC2 kernel.

I had weirdness after doing a fresh wipe and install. What I found was there is on my External SD card, there is an Android/data directory. By deleting that Android directory, then doing a fresh wipe and install, it worked fine.

There may be multiple versions of the OC1 and OC2 kernels, but the ones I found, the OC1 is a larger file, and so I have been using that instead of the OC2. I have no idea if it makes a difference.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Luminair:
Unfortunately, I redid the entire process by restoring from N900AUCUCNC2_Full_Odin_Tar, then repeating the process to install Safestrap through the root process located here . After flashing OC2 from the OP in this thread, the device still freezes while booting at the same stage that it originally froze at. I also tried removing my SD card (which did have an android directory), but that did not allow the process to proceed.

Edit: Flashing OC1 and using the stock slot rather than Slot 1 allowed me to boot successfully, though gets stuck at the ATT splash.

Edit 2: Success, looks like it just took a good 10 minutes or so for the phone to churn through.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] akv22:
Can you install xpose using these roms? and also how do I use the samsung and att debloater?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Luminair:
Yes, (someone can correct me if wrong) put the Xposed installer and framework in your SD card, then run NC2 flasher. This should allow you to boot back to Safestrap. Then in Safestrap, flash the installer and framework, then the OC2 firmware.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carl1961:

I just got this AT&T Note 3 and helping out my sister updating it to Lollipop. It is still 4.4.2 stock with I recently rooted using GeoHots Towelroot, installed Chainfire's supersu. I use a nexus and I'm used to TWRP, easy flashing, etc - this is a first time for me with AT&T and Samsung devices :(

And now, Im deciding to upgrade it to OC2. What should I do first?

Can I just flash this ROM directly using Flashfire? If I can use Flashfire, will it also update the Bootloader and Radio? Should I flash to OC1 first?

Would it be safer and easier to just use Safestrap?

I just want Stock AT&T ROM and maybe debloat it afterwards - and she will use it in Canada.
