[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
There's no real need to go back to 5.0.2 anymore. 5.1.1 came with improvements and ui enhancements. Just save yourself the trouble. As long as folks can unbrick to 5.1.1 all is good.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Kolma:
Yeah but I'm stuck on rooted 5.0.2 on boost lol

If I can either use this to upgrade system to get on 5.1.1 (would that even work?)

Or get system back to fully stock on 5.0.2 which should let me upgrade, then it would be great.

*edit

I'm going for it with the image. if I brick my phone then I can just tell LG it bricked trying to update
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] GameTheory.:
You can unbrick with this guide. Just ask 6th_Hokage to post his 5.1.1 boot.img and modem.img to flash along with the system.img he posted. When we got recovery for the metro stylo that is how I flashed it to my phone using the send_command.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Kolma:
I've tried using regular Send_command for the system.img i linked before and would get a message saying its not signed.

Hoping doing it this way bypasses that.

If 6th_Hokage can send me all that other stuff and I can upgrade manually piece by piece that would be amazing.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I would have to pull the other stuff since technically its untouched still

Security Error

[Authentication Fail #18]

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

I DID IT

I UNBRICKED AND UPDATED A ROOTED 5.0.2!!!!!

STEPS.

1. BRICK BY RUNNING 5.0.2 SYSTEM.IMG (http://xdaforums.com/general/general/lg-g-stylo-boost-mobile-t3113080)

2. PANIC you just bricked your phone

3. Run 5.1.1 system.img from this thread

(You will get [Authentication Fail #18] on boot)

4. run update.zip for 5.1.1

5. hurray you updated!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Nice job buddy ?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Kolma:
Yeah despite it working. I dunno how well I can suggest such crazy steps..

Basically asking someone to brick it so they can update it.

Crazy rollercoaster of emotions for me but I'm glad I went in knowing full well that I more than likely was going to end up with a bricked phone.

Finally my months long journey for getting to 5.1.1 has finally happened.

Thank you so much for uploading that system.img for 5.1.1 couldn't have gotten here without it!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Im 100% sure you can apply same steps/method to update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 (Latest version) without having to brick your device..... In other words this can be Boost Unbrick/Update guide if you see it that way
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Kolma:
Yeah you can probably skip straight to using 5.1.1 system.img and then updating.

But I rather put down my exact steps.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
Hello.

Ever since I bought a Galaxy Nexus and found XDA, my life changed. Without noticing I got infected a virus: addiction to Android.

My Nexus got outdated quickly and now is pretty done and I need a new toy. 3,5 years later I finally got some spare money to buy a new phone. Since here in Portugal the minimum wage is around 500€ and top flagship phones cost around 700€ (and there's no affordable contract to get something cheaper and still nice), I had to wait until now to get a used Note 3 for 300€.

I love the phone's design and above all the specs. There's no other phone with 3GB RAM and Snap 800 for this price and I always liked big sized phones.

Well, I write too much unnecessary info... I need to stop :D

Let's get down to the point. I will get the phone tomorrow!!

TL;DR

How do I check the bootloader version? I want to flash TWRP right away and maybe install a Note4/5 port or something stock Android, do I need to be careful with the bootloader?

I know from other phones (i.e LG G2) that any custom rom uses KK bootloader and the stock roms use their respective version bootloader. Is this also true for the Note?

Also, which version of TWRP should I flash? Does it depend on the stock rom version that I have?

Checking if the device has 2.3x GB of available RAM, if Odin and Recovery have their stock aspect and if the S-Pen works is enough to ensure that the Note I'm getting is truly original?

Well, that's all. I'm sorry if I'm asking the same questions everyone does. I'm used to Nexus so I'm afraid of bricking the Note with dumb moves. That's why I am taking my time to read every important thread and asking here some doubts that went into my mind while doing the required reading. I have no warranty (no box nor invoice) so I can't afford to mess up with the new babe :D

Cheers!

This app!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en

this app will help you confirm your phone.

then you can proceed flashing twrp and supersu, things are so easy for N9005 :D

and Welcome Aboard :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
Install phone info samsung from playstore. It could tell a lot about your phone.

To make it easy as long as the phone is running with android version 4.4.2 and above you should use twrp 4.4. If 4.3 use the right one for 4.3.

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
White Note3 do you have? There are several versions made by Samsung.

Regardless of the bootloader on the phone, I recommend using the latest TWRP as the latest TWRP can be used to flash all ROMs and zip files. Find your device from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/

Before moving to custom ROMs, I also recommend installing the latest bootlloader and ROM.

Not sure if your phone still has warranty but if it does, I would not change the ROM or root because doing either may trip the knox counter and void the warranty.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
Thanks! I will keep the link in my favorites and install the app when I get the chance to test things.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure it has 4.4.x or lollipop. Should I update to any of those versions (just in case it comes with 4.3) first and then install TWRP?

The phone doesn't come with box nor invoice so I don't have any warranty xd

What is the number or version of the latest bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
What is the model # of the phone? There is the n-900t, n9005, n-900w8, etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
N9005, it's the european unlocked version
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The model # is important when asking questions because the AT&T version of the note 3 has a locked bootloader so it's more complicated to flash custom recovery and to get root.

If you want to run custom ROMs, I recommend upgrading to the latest modem and bootloader, install a custom recovery, back up your stock ROM, and try some custom ROMs to see which one you like.

Look for the tar version of TWRP for your phone from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/

You can flash TWRP with Odin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
I'll get the phone tomorrow!!!!! :D

So, by upgrading to the latest official rom avaiable I'll have the most recent modem and bootloader, right?

Do I need to follow the order you mentioned: modem->bootloader->recovery->backup->croms or can I flash TWRP, backup every partition, flash most recent modem and bootloader (not sure if I can flash a bootloader) and then install croms?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
No, only flashing a newer custom ROM won't update your Bootloader and Modem. You will need to flash those files separately via Odin. Then you can flash the custom ROM you want. The order is simple. Get a custom recovery first, TWRP. Then update your Modem and Bootloader. Then wipe the device from TWRP (full wipe, take backup beforehand if you need) and flash the custom ROM of your choice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Safest way to upgrade the modem and bootloader is via ota update on a completely stock unrooted rom with stock recovery. After the phone is running the latest rom, then start with customization.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
I have the phone and managed to update it to 5.0 -> n9005xxugboa1

Is it the latest version or should I update it to another one?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
BOD2 appears to be the latest according to sammobile.com: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
I'm from Portugal but the phone is unlocked (no carrier) and they only have firmware for carrier notes... Which one should I download and flash?

Also... with a G2 I flashed a .kdz file (official rom) and ended up with a bricked phone (later fixed via warranty), but I have no warranty in this phone, how can I make sure that the file is safe?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Just check for software updates from your phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
It says the phone is already at the latest version. I've cleaned framework services and checked again but got the same result.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Try removing the SIM card and moving the date ahead by two days, then try again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogofd8:
Done that, no update avaiable. Connected to Kies3, no update avaiable.

Is it really in a old version? It's 5.0. Do I really need the latest version to start flashing a recovery?

Also, can I use the recovery without flashing it? I want to check if it works nicely before flashing if it is possible. TWRP can be used to flash any rom right? I'm interested in trying darklord first.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Yes, you can flash recovery without updating. I suggested updating because the update probably deals with the stage fright bug.
[Android General] jayshukla38:

After posting on another forum with detailed information for days and only getting a sarcastic remark I am posting on here hopefully you can help me more. I have a ASUS N66W router connected to 5ghz. I tried upgrading and downgrading firmware and even changing the wireless antennas. Rebooted and reset to factory. I have not tried 2.4ghz because normally I can't even print wireless on there are so many networks in my area over 70 that it is very slow on every device.

When I try to stream music using TuneIn radio and higher bitrate streams 320kbps they play for a few minutes and then start to buffer. I then try to open webpages and they stall and my speedtests show 0.01mb with 1800ms ping. If I wait a few minutes it is fast again. I end up streaming music on T-Mobile LTE with no issues. Everything loads fast. Most of the services I subscribe to include music freedom except TuneIn so I only tested it for about 10 minutes but no buffering but with Wifi on constant buffering after only a few minutes. Now if I keep my Nexus 6 plugged in I also get no buffering on Wifi. Also my Nexus 5 (2013) and Nexus 7 (2013) all stock Android 5.1.1 no issues either.

I am on my wits end here. Googling lead me nowhere except for wasteful links like "10 Android Nexus 5.1.1 Problems and how to fix them" and believe it or not my rant post on the other android post copied on other unrelated links. Google really you can't suck any more. Bing search was better leading me to this forum but really no solution either. Any help would be nice. I see that this is a issue that started with T-Mobile when they added Wifi calling in 5.1.1 which I have off anyway.

Using PRFCreator, I've just created a flashable zip for the latest stock ROM 5.1.1 (C5503) 10.7.A.0.222 & 10.7.A.0.222 Nordic Combined.

The flashable zip will install the followings:

1. C5503 Generic NCB firmware

2. Pre-rooted using SuperSU 2.49 Beta

3. XZDualRecovery 2.8.23

I've tested it on my ZR originally running 5.02 rooted stock LB ROM. I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 to flash it and I just wiped Dalvik and cache so data partition is untouched.

If you're also using Xposed, boot your phone for the first time, then reboot your phone into TWRP again to flash the official Xposed framework (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811, sdk22). For unknown reason, I need to uninstall and re-install the Xposed Installer to run it successfully.
