[Galaxy Note 3 General] edmundo096:
Yesterday had a situation that made me try updating my Note 3 (since I haven't been very careful with it and tends to run slow sometimes).

I have been very tented previously to update to some custom rooms found here on XDA (either to 5.0 or even better, to 6.0), but I have been lazy to do that (and dealing with backing up everything from settings, app data, the installed apps list, rooting again, not bricking, bla bla, yada yada....)

Anyways, so yesterday I checked via its "Software Update" in the "About" section, and expected the (old and last) Lollipop 5.0 update from several months ago to come up (that was from the last time that I checked for updates ).

That is (specially) since I know that Samsung really likes to update its "old" phones from +2 years ago when they have newer Note 7, 5 and 4 to care about, and seeing (after theirs 4.4.3 and 5.0) a Marshmallow 6.0 update was something hard to think about in my mind, and thus the Nougat 7.0 is a big No No... sadly :(

But, surprise, surprise... There is an "OS update - Android 6.0 Marshmallow"

I didn't expected that. I think this will be its last update (good bye "a stock 7.0" anyways).

I searched samsung-updates, sammobile.com/firmware, etc., they all go up to 5.0, so this may be someting realy new or only for certains networks? Idk. Therefore, that IBT post may be real (with some info wrong though).

It's a N900W8 (Snapdragon, Mexican carrier Telcel) running on 4.4.2 and rooted with towelroot (a long time ago). I don't know now what to do now, since I want my precious root (yada yada) and Knox is not triggered.

More tempted to update now, still, I will not, until I find a way to keep my root. :silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Piombo71:
Sorry,but if the firmware on SamMobile is 5.0 and is 6.0.1 on ibtimes page,to know the truth of who wrote the wrong thing,you should only try this firmware,i am currently somewhat confused.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] edmundo096:
I was too, but seems that IBT is partially correct (maybe they got a 5.0 rom link instead of the 6.0 since there still no 6.0 rom info available).

Anyways, there are my screens of the 6.0 Update info. (I wanted to post them on my last post, but I didn't had any option to Attach them, strange.)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] audit13:
[MENTION=5747674]edmundo096[/MENTION], who is your phone carrier? The device name on a Koodo note 3 is Galaxy Note 3, not GxN3. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] edmundo096:
The (greedy) carrier is Telcel (México), thus I have what I think is a Mexican network operator update.

The IBT articule mentions that the update rolled out on "Canada, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay" operators.

The "GxN3" is the name that I gave to my phone when I activated the WiFi hotspot, and I can easily change it by touching it (or the arrow).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IvanCristina:
Well, I also read about it, but I still think that a port of the base from the Tab S should be easier. BTW, Snapdragon 801 is an optimized version of the 800, so port 801 ROMs to 800 devices is not an impossible deal, in fact artas ported his ROM thanks to a bunch of modifies, "removing" the optimizations. I don't know if the situation is the same with the 5420 and the 5422, but the problem here is that I don't see any REALLY capable developer at work on the Exynos variant (don't misunderstand me, I don't want to offend anyone, just I can't see any "darkera" or "artas" or "Kamy" at work with this device).

That one on that site is absolutely fake, the idk is still 21, so it isn't MM. BTW, the user [MENTION=5747674]edmundo096[/MENTION] absolutely fu**ed all my thread with that screenshots. Assuming they are real, I have no idea what's happening. A similar thing happened to an S5 user, who received a Marshmallow update before the release due to a developer error, who accidentally sent the OTA. Sometimes these mistakes happen in Samsung's house. I hope this is one.

As I wrote before, a similar thing happened to an S5 user, who received a Marshmallow update before the release due to a developer error, who accidentally sent the OTA. If your screenshots are real, you are an EXTREMELY LUCKY USER! Do not lose time, and most important, DO NOT UPDATE FOR NOW. Use any root file explorer and go to cache (root/cache). Now with the search button search anything that could be an update. It should be a zip file, with big size. Once you have found it, copy to your internal memory and then to your computer, upload it somewhere and we will check if it is a real marshmallow update or just an error. YOU SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONE WITH OFFICIAL MARSHMALLOW. If it is a real MM, we could use it as base for almost every ROM, as Canadian version is very similar to International. For any info pm me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hedi.Karray:
i heard about the Galaxy S tab update after hearing about the S5 and of course then it will be easier to port it from the Galaxy S Tab update Stock Rom since it share the Same Soc (5420) i'm willing so bad to port it i swear but i cant seem to find any support from anyone with knowledge i dont know why , in my opinion the first step is to download the Stock MM update for the Galaxy Tab S and start by replacing basic files , i just need some advice on which files i should replace at first to make the rom boot even with full bugs i just want to know what should i do to JUST make it boot but i cant seem to find any help as i said , i'm posting everywhere and replying everywhere but nothing ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IvanCristina:
I'm sorry, but unfortunately it's not that easy. Porting a ROM without the original base it's a really hard work. It requires skills, knowledges of the patch. Porting libs is not an everyday's work.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Hedi.Karray:
So you are saying that if ill download the Galaxy Tab S new mm stock and replace its libs with darklord rom for n9005 and its boot.img with our exynos it wont even boot ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] audit13:
I wonder if I could flash the stock telcel rom to my phone and get mm. I have a Rogers phone that I flashed with Koodo lp firmware and no updates were available.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] edmundo096:
Sorry for that.

Anyways, I copied it to my PC on my dropbox folder (didn't thought on anything better on that moment).

Here is the link to the file "update.zip" (I only renamed it, added a brief description on parenthesis): https://www.dropbox.com/s/aur88jqytqn97o6/update (note 3 n900w8 fota 6.0).zip?dl=0

I tried opening the Zip with WinRar, but had no luck... Maybe the updates uses a special zip format?

That would be interesting to see.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Piombo71:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] darksavior:
N900W8VLU2DPG1 is 5.0. A few posters also said this. I'd believe sammobile before that site.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] audit13:
[MENTION=5747674]edmundo096[/MENTION], I downloaded your update and could not open it using 7zip. Thanks for trying.

If you still have the file, try this:

Boot the TWRP;

go to ./data/data/com.xxxxx.fota/.fotadownload/update.zip (the directory may change, depending on phone); and

Copy to sd or internal memory, then copy to your computer and re-upload.

Thanks.

If you installed the update, did it take you to MM? If it did, any screen shots?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] reyncla:
To repair the file "update (note 3 n900w8 fota 6.0).zip", supplied by [MENTION=5747674]edmundo096[/MENTION] with winrar,

it can be seen that within "updater-script":

ui_print("Source: samsung/hlteub/hltecan:4.4.2/KOT49H/N900W8UBUCNC1:user/release-keys");

ui_print("Target: samsung/hlteub/hltecan:5.0/LRX21V/N900W8UBU2DPC1:user/release-keys");

That is, is an update to Android 4.4.2 to 5.0 (N900W8UBU2DPC1)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] opexblue:
It's a false alarm then, no official MM update
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IvanCristina:
Absolutely not. N9005 and N900 libs and boot.img are different. Phone should stuck on splahscreen. As I said, it requires skills.

It's useless. If you want an update, just download it from sammobile. If there isn't any update there, there shouldn't be any.

Thank you anyway bro, but it's a false alarm. I saw the sdk, it's 21.

It's a fake

Exactly, the only sure way for checking new update is sammobile.

Thank you [MENTION=4819130]Kamy[/MENTION]! I just checked, but you anticipated me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] edmundo096:
Think whatever you want to think. I know it's hard to trust someone until you get whatever you want.

I don't have TWRP, but I think it's unnecessary, as I checked the hashes of it using a file explorer on the phone, and the checksum of the Dropbox file is the same.

Furthermore, yesterday I renamed the file, so I could download it one more time (which took ~4 hrs., I calculated the update server gave ~150 KBps), that is to discard the possibility of file corruption.

Both downloads/files got the same hash (as on the screenshot):

File: System (Root)/data/fota/update.zip
MD5: 74:38:2b:79:4d:78:2d:0b:6d:30:c8:d5:58:6a:57:7a
SHA1: af:87:b1:b5:05:08:f8:9d:e2:26:b9:ee:f0:c1:29:d2:a3:c0:3a:dc

Anyways, I checked this morning the notifications via email, saw about repairing the file with WinRAR, so I tried it too and saw the Update to 5.0 in some of the META-INF files. :rolleyes:

I'm disappointed (as some of you) for not being a 6.0, even though the "update notice" (the infamous screenshot) lied to me/us about being an update to 6.0 MM.

The only thing I could think of is: the notification could be kinda true, but the system serves me first a 5.0 update before I can jump to 6.0 (that is because I'm still at 4.4.2).

However, I don't know if that is really necessary, and if that is how the updating system works.

Most probably I would get disappointed if I do that: jumping to 5.0, and the updater would tell me that there are *no more updates* (and probably losing my root).

After seeing this and tried it... got disappointed.

Sorry about that.

I thought the same, checking Sammobile was one the first things I did after I getting this surprise. And since there was no info about 6.0, I decided to come here and check the good xda.

Still I don't understand why I get that notice about the update to 6.0 MM...

Anyways, Thank you for checking it out.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] IvanCristina:
Don't mind. You are the "victim" from Samsung, here, so do not ask sorry.

About the update to 5.0 for getting MM, no. You can directly update from KK to MM, as I did on a friend's S5.

Hi, im facing a major bug on every ROM ive tried, atm im at Temaseks CM13 CAF v10.7 issuing the problem ill list below in the pics

I dont think whatsapp consuming more battery than my screen is a normal behaviour so:

After some googling i can see that maybe mobile radio active is bugged over mobile connection, so can anyone confirm if u faced this issue and how u fix it if yes?

Im trying to isolate this bug with my user knowing, i dont know how to get into deep logs or modify system cfg to do any kind of isolation...

So maybe this xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393 fixes my thing but is originally intended for LP and newest versions support MM, the thing is some MM users are reporting bootloops or nothing at all.

I dont have xposed installed either, sooo, ill be happy with any confirmation [emoji14]

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamADX:
Hey there,

I do use a HTC10 with an SD card and have the SD card working as adoptable/internal storage.

So far all works fine but I do have a problem with the "/Android" directory being on "/storage/emulated/0/Android" (or "/sdcard/Android" - I'm a bit confused about that).

While I can write to my SD Card (creating a folder for instance) using ES File Explorer Pro just fine, I cannot write to the "/Android" folder. That wouldn't be a problem but the system itself seems to lack permissions to do so as well?!

I deinstalled Dropbox, decided to "delete all settings and files" when asked by Android but got a toast message saying "cannot delete "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/.com.blabla.dropbox". Also I cannot create a directory under this "/Android" folder, ES File Explorer gives me "This task failed".

I assume there might be some confusion with partitions and permissions - anyway you know a way to help?

With kind regards,

Sam
[Windows 10 Mobile] Topogigi:
I bought the Xiaomi MI4 to test the windows mobile 10 rom and I soon realized that the ROM provided by Xiaomi has got only two available languages: US English and Chinese. This leads people from different countries to have an uncompletely translated rom (phone language remains English or chinese even if you download keyboard and speech language of your country and you choose the relevant regional settings). You will get a 50% translated phone and you will not be able to use Cortana in your language, for example.

So, here you can find a simple tutorial to let your phone speak your mother language:

First, you have to install the Xiaomi MI4 WM 10 rom as per instructions provided here or in the international miui forum.

After the phone reboots the first time, dont't even choose the language and let it rest untouched until you have performed the following steps:

1) Download the language packages you will upload to the phone from the 10586.107 release here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3661157&d=1456506098 (open the .txt file and select the URLs of the files you need to download, copy them and paste the strings into your browser: it will start to download)

I downloaded the following files for the italian language (just search the relevant files for your own country: it-it is for Italy es-es for Spain, and so on):

http://fg.v4.download.windowsupdate..._738782e42c9fd7d96aebc080a6d2555b168d7ea6.cab microsoft.mainos.production_lang_it-it.cbs

http://fg.v4.download.windowsupdate..._dd2ff8d5fe0a9cc5d7478a30f0bd1c9a3b1e19d6.cab microsoft.prerelease_protected.mainos_lang_it-it.cbs

You can skip the speech data and the keybord data cabs, as you can download them later on when you will configure the phone.

2) Put the 2 cabs you have downloaded in a directory (e.g. c:\cabs)

3) download the iutool package from here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3860782&d=1472659473 open the .zip file and click the .msi to install it on your PC

4) Open the file explorer on the PC and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Tools\bin\i386 . Right click holding down the shift key in an empty part of the window and choose to open a command window right there.

5) Now grab your phone, connect it to the PC via the USB cable, and inside the command window you opened on the PC, paste the following command: iutool -V -p pathtothefolderwiththetwocabs (e.g. c:\cabs as I suggested)

6) wait until the phone reboots and enjoy the Xiaomi Mi4 completely translated in your own language.

7) Configure your phone (download keyboard settings and speech settings for your country), then update the phone to the last available release (14393.67 at this time).

Best wishes.

Hello,

I'm trying to create a CM port for my Getnord Onyx device.

As far as I know, to do this I need kernel source code with all of it's patches. So I contacted manufacturer and nicely asked them to give me the source code, but they didn't reply.

What should I do? And I don't think that GNU General Public Licence is going to help me here (or can it, if so: how do I use it?)
