[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PAinguINx:
Ok, so I flashed Magma but the Aroma installer really threw a wrench in the works. None of the Sprint CSC codes were listed oddly enough (not the common ones). I was not clear on what option to select for the kernel as I did not pre-flash a kernel and thought a new kernel was baked in to the ROM so I chose default. I got everything setup but the phone would crash every time I tried opening settings and WiFi would not authenticate either for some reason.

To be fair, though, I did not perform a full wipe before the flash. I know, I know... But I wanted to see what happened without wiping first. I've flashed ROM's in the past without doing so with no negative side effects.

That was not the case here. I'm going to see what others chose during the AROMA setup, perform a full wipe and give it another go. I will probably try some other ROM'S as well.

TI appreciate your help though my friend. Once I have a new stable, non-Sprint ROM running smoothly I will move forward with verifying the signal strength and reliability of the GSM networks again.

I will update this thread with my findings.

Again? Thanks for the help DarkSavior!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darksavior:
Yea yw. I don't believe choosing a csc is *that* important. Might get away with tmo's or att's. I've always done a clean install because I want to avoid any bugs, and I want the bugs to be related to the rom itself, so I can go find another one. People have recommended the Fougat custom rom if magma isn't your cup of tea.

Will it work if u get it internationally unlocked through sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BlueFox721:
I unlocked through sprint and tried it...it says I am unblocked...I am curious if it sticks after flashing verizon firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] corsair2014:
Anyway to do this unlock wihtout paying??? I got all the way to the step with the Idone_app and i don't want to pay 35 dollars for this...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darksavior:
If you can find that particular version of the GT app then no, it'll be free. Later versions went pay.

Is it possible to change your baseband version after upgrading to the newest pl1? I just somehow changed and an on a UK baseband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
Yes, one can flash just the modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] remarkablecow913:
Thank you. I did realize my mistake. Felt really noobie for a bit there. It's the bootloader that can't be downgraded. If I could ask you a quick question though.

How can I go about changing this over to metro pcs. I have my driver through them and ATM don't have funds to buy a decent phone. This one is a million times what the cool pad defiant I'm currently using is. But even after searching and reading a billion threads. I haven't found the one that tells me how to change from cdma to gsm and still be decent enough. Thank you for your time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
To use it on Metro PCS, you'd first have to DSU the phone.

== My write-up for DSU ==

*Files needed:

-idone GT v3.1.5 apk

-idone GT v3.1.8 apk

-Odin3

-MI3 baseband modem

1. The phone first needs to be Rooted. Use Chainfire's CF Autoroot to Root the Note 3.

2. Install idone GT v3.1.5 and v1.3.8 apks. Open both apps, do the Update, and restart the phone.

3. Using Odin 3.04 (PDA slot), downgrade the modem to MI3.

4. Open the idone app and click on the SIM UICC Unlock. Restart the phone.

5. Open the Phone app and dial *#0011#.

Press the Menu button and choose "Back." Press Menu button, choose Key Input, and type is Q. Press Menu button, choose Key Input, and type in 0000.

Wait for the menu to open.

UE Setting & Info > Setting > Protocol > GCF > GSM/(E)GPRS/WCDMA GCF ON

When you see the "Success" message, reboot the phone. The phone is now DSU'ed.

Later, you can upgrade the modem up to MJ4.

After inserting the Metro PCS simcard, you just need to configure the Metro PCS APN.

SUCCESSFUL Unlocking Note 4 on BoostMobile

SUCCESSFUL UNLOCKING with iDone apk

Following this thread, I used the iDone apk, with GREAT Customer Support.

Merely downloaded the apk, install same, paid the fees (via PayPal), and follow the simple instructions.

All this on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which used the BoostMobile (but on Sprint).

Simply change the Network Setting from CDMA to GSM (in Settings), then open the idone apk, and select unlock. Phone will restart twice, then the Status will change to READY (from Locked).

Now I can use any Service Provider Globally (i'm in Kingston, Jamaica).

Thanks the bloggers, here, and the hard working team at idoneapps

:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PAinguINx:
I was able to unlock the device using the methods I outlined much earlier in this thread. However, while you could connect to the networks I tried (AT&T, T-Mobile) the service was very poor. Now, I never tried using MetroPCS but with their policy of having to associate your IMEI with their SIM card (which I think is total crap) is a lot of work for service that may only work marginally.

Has anyone actually unlocked a Sprint Note 3 and received full service as well as LTE connectivity (or even 3g for that matter) on AT&T, T-Mobile or one of their MVNO's?

PAinguIN
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] optimummind:
No 4G LTE, just HSPA or HSPA+.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darksavior:
I'm on freedompop gsm lte (at&t mvno) using my n900p. The only problem I have now is that I can't install any new 7.x or 8.x rom because they require an updated bootloader/modem which I can't do because it'll break my sim unlock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CrimsonSymphony:
SMH, I really wish I knew why I was having such a hard time with this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] remarkablecow913:
Obviously this is late. But I was able to unlock using this method but as stated already service was not 4g. I never actually used the phone, but did show bars from SIM. I had unintentionally lost my imei and didn't have good backup and add you said the imei is tied together with metro. I do not have this device anymore though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PAinguINx:
I signed up to get notifications on this thread even though I made these comments some time ago.

BUT, it is nice to see that others are still contributing. It appears that you had the same issues I did in regards to service and connectivity. At this stage in the game I guess it matters very little but it is good to know that my instance was not isolated and that anyone else attempting this will more than likely run into the same issue(s).

Thank you for contributing!!!

How do I get decryption key
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Using Nova Launcher gesture feature. For'Swipe Down' to expand notifications accessibility permission has to be enabled in S7. But if enabled Nova takes up almost 200 MB of RAM that led to device freezing(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UChZaaw58). If not enabled just 50MB(75MB max) is the RAM usage. In the case of AOSP ROMs there is no need of even enabling accessibility permission for Nova. Is there any work around in TouchWiz to achieve 'Swipe Down' to expand notifications without enabling accessibility permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
Just turn it off and pull down from the top still works.

All that accessibility is for is so you can swipe down/up any where on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
That I know. I needed the gesture feature to work so that to avoid reaching all the way to top. So there is no work around?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
Nope wish there were.

Also i wish the double tap to sleep worked better too. If you use it along with fingerprint, everytime you double tap to sleep the phone, on the subsequent log in into the phone, it requires you to enter you pin which defeats the purpose of using fingerprint
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Setting any screen off app to double tap gesture is all you need. Fingerprint works fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
What app are you using for that? When I use the built in Nova Gesture it will lock the phone but next unlock requires a pin. Are you using a different app to control it?

I emailed Nova support and they confirmed it is an issue with Android M and they are hoping there will be an update for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
'screen off and lock'
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
Downloaded and gave administration access, turned off administration access for nova, went into nova gestures and set double tap to this app and it still is asking for pin when I wake the device after double tap
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
I'm using it successfully. Here is a video showing me using it https://youtu.be/2Ii5GgSBktI
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
Wonder if it's because you have an international model and I'm tmobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Maybe. Which is the app you are using? Can you send me a screenshot to conform?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
I've tried with both the nova launcher functionality (built into Nova) and with the app you mentioned https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock

I reached out to nova regarding theirs and like I mentioned - they said it's an issue in Android. Looked at the reviews for Screen off and Lock and there are others that are on Android M(Nexus 6P) that are having the same issue as well

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

i'll get a video with my wifes phone tonight and upload it so you can see what I'm referring to.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

just had a person who has international S7 here in the US try and it works for them.

only conclusion is that it is something having to to with the OS for the US variant or having to do with Samsung Pay. Seriously doubt it's an issue between the 2 chipsets
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
My swipe down works fine, but the double tap to turn off doesnt... you win some you lose some i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dclutter1:
I have Nova's double tap gesture set to "Screen Lock" and it works fine. I DO NOT have to enter my pin on the next wake, using fingerprint.

Edit: G930V
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] joro2077:
I had the same problem with nova double tap to lock. Screen off also didn't work for me. The only workaround for me is Screen lock pro, also in the settings you have to enable Smart lock and nexus imprint and works flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
That really shouldn't work, when you double tap you get a prompt for device admin privileges and it states "this is a full secure lock that requires pin/patten to unlock even if using fingerprint scanner". Not sure how its working on some phones, unless you're rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
It shouldnt be possible in US versions. Please do check it again...[emoji4]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
This is the reply I got when I contacted Nova. Don't know whether it makes any sense.[emoji53]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
So basically uninstalling the app, tried it, didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
So basically if we use TouchWiz it's not gonna work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Woops actually i was just testing the double tap to sleep thing, not the issue you're having :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 96cobra:
I have Nova running on my Verizon S7 and I just tried this to see if it works. I added the "Double Tap to Lock" gesture, got the message about it being a secure lock and finger scanner won't work, gave administrative privileges, then tried it. Screen locked and I waited about 15 seconds and pressed the home button. Screen came on and I used my fingerprint to unlock. It worked fine for me. No pin required.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jamesino:
I'm coming from Kitkat 4.4.4 on the original Moto X.

So swiping down anywhere on the home screen to bring down notifications doesn't work with Nova Launcher on the S7? Is this a problem unique to the S7, or is it now broken on every Marshmallow device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
It depends on your mobile model number and all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
It is specific to TouchWiz devices
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Strange i can't get it to work, still asks for pin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jamesino:
I just re-read the first post, will swipe down to expand notifications work if you did enable Accessibility permission? What are the downsides of enabling it for Nova launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Will work. It takes more memory
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] scottjb:
Wow, it sure does! I have accessibility enabled for Nova's gestures and just saw it using 404 MB. Not sure it's worth that much use of resources.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
talking about a confusing thread haha.

i have the swipe down gesture enabled and it uses almost no RAM, go figure. i have to use the pattern after double tap to lock though. T-Mo US variant here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dclutter1:
Here's a video just to be sure we're talking about the same thing.

I did notice that it won't unlock with my fingerprint if I'm on the actual pin entry screen (never tried before now). Works fine from the swipe-up-to-unlock screen though.

https://youtu.be/Recoffjf6_A
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Oh that's too much. I wouldn't do that. But I really like gestures. In fact one of the main reason I bought Nova Launcher is gestures. Hope Nova team fixes it ASAP. Where to report this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] scottjb:
Me too. Gestures and the option to close the app drawer after launching an app.

I usually report issues from the email link in the app's Play Store listing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
I don't know what's wrong. The US S820 versions were the ones reported with this issue mostly. Don't know whether Verizon model has any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] richair:
Exynos version here (euro spec), and the expand notifications gesture is not working, even with the accessibility option switched on.

The ui just pauses for a couple of seconds and nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] scottjb:
Does anyone know why the accessibility option must be selected for Nova gestures to open the settings shades? I have two other Marshmallow devices - Xperia Z5 Compact and Nexus 5 - that don't require accessibility to be turned on for Nova gestures to work. Is this a Samsung thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Yeah, a samsung thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ajaredic:
It works on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] roundel77:
I have Us T mob S6 & Nova Prime Launcher and swipe down to expend notifications works as well as double tap to lock screen but in Samsung general settings (Iock screen and security), lock screen is set to none! Maybe this will help someone..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
doesn't do that on mine. I've been using double tap to sleep since day one with my finger scanner and when I turn the phone back on, I never use the pin. always use the scanner.

and nova uses 35.6mb ram here with swipe to pull down and double tap to sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] munkitkat:
I had the same problem with nova double tap to lock. Screen off also didn't work for me. The only workaround for me is Screen lock pro, also in the settings you have to enable Smart lock and nexus imprint and works flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
S7 US versions has some weird dissimilarities in software.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ElBeaner:
Yeah I want to keep some sort of lock on my phone.

Are you using a lockscreen?

Will look into this.

EDIT This works - takes a little longer for the phone to lock (which I'm ok with) but when I double tap, and let it sit there and then wake the device to unlock, I can use my fingerprint scanner.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
yup. i have a lockscreen with my finger print as the lock, and a pattern as the backup.

verizon model here, maybe it's different?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Yeah there are some silly diffence in software with the US version. One example can be said as the 'reboot to safe mode' option through holding 'power off' option. It doesn't appear on my G930FD.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] GZA1337:
on my S6 the accessibility service consumes 80 Mb which is also too much! but nothing compared to 400MB.

not sure if this size of memory is fully related to nova launcher...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
Holy ****. I am using Action Launcher and had the accessibility service enabled for the gesture to open the notification shade and decided to disable the accessibility service to see if performance was improved anywhere. There is an OBVIOUS performance improvement in my Snapdragon 820 variant. With the service enabled, the animation to open a note in Google Keep would lag for a split second about half way through, but after disabling the accessibility service and rebooting, the animation to open a note in Google Keep is completely smooth! Scrolling in Google Play Music was also fairly stuttery before but is now much improved! I mean I knew the accessibility service used some amount of RAM (which didn't bother me), but I can't believe it also affected general performance and smoothness so noticeably.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Are you sure it really requires your fingerprint? What happens if you use a different finger and try to unlock?

When I tried to switch my lockscreen to none, the phone told my my device would be decrypted and recommended I delete my stored fingerprints.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

So do I have this right? You just press the home button and hold it down until it unlocks? When I try that on mine, it always brings up the number pad and asks for a pin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
yes, i'm 100% sure. if i use another finger, it won't unlock. it only unlocks wtih the 4 prints i've set. i'm using fingerprint unlock, and double tap to sleep, and it works 100% fine.

i'm also one of the very few on verizon who can see samsung internet browser in the play store and download it for some reason, so who the hell knows what's going on lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dclutter1:
Yep that's it. I actually press it once while I'm taking it out of my pocket to turn the screen on and then reposition to unlock. I don't actually press the button to unlock, just lay my thumb on it, that shouldn't make a difference though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Weird. That works for me only if the screen turned off on it's own, or I shut it off with the power button. If I turn it off with a double tap, the second touch on the fingerprint reader brings up the number pad, whether I press the button or lay my thumb on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dclutter1:
Yeah, that's so weird. I hope you guys get it figured out.

Heh, Samsung/VZW will probably "fix" something and make it so those of us who can do it, can't anymore. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Yep, works for me, too. The only drawback (and maybe there's a setting for this) is that it doesn't lock the screen instantly, like the power button does, but I can live with that. One of the things I loved about the G3 was double tap to wake and sleep. With the physical home button I don't miss tap to wake, but I was definitely missing tap to sleep.

Thanks for the find, munkitkat.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] param.006:
I have the s4 sgh l337 with the mdl bootloader from way back. was running Goldeneye rom and it started giving me issues. so i thought id flash the Albe s6 port rom and thought i needed safestrap for it. so i installed safestrap by installing the apk and busybox and the nc1 flasher and rebooted.

now i get the SYSTEM SOFTWARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR AT&T and i have no recover either! its the stock recovery and im not sure how i can flash another kernel or recovery back to just reset the whole phone.

any help would be much appreciated :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
If you'd sure you are still on MDL bootloader then you need to odin the stock MDL firmware.

Bear in mind that if your bootloader is no longer MDL then flashing the MDL firmware could trip the knox counter.

Safestrap is for the i337 with newer bootloader. It works on NC1 bootloader as such you need NC1 flasher.

Golden eye has an option to choose between old bootloaders (MDL/MDB) and Safestrap users. Albe S6 port does not appear to have that option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] param.006:
never mind. i had another issue after Odin back to stock but i just had to wipe data/cache through the stock recovery. now good to go!

thanks for the help bro!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
Glad to hear it.

It did happen to me when I odin the MDB firmware on my MDL phone three years back. The MDL firmware I downloaded had checksum error so I had to use the MDB firmware instead.
