I can ask if she is ok attempting root. I've been out of it since the Verizon Note 3 first got root capability. This brought me back to it seeing the bootloader can be unlocked and roms put on. I'm jazzed to try AryaMod !
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaylo:
I'm worried about what specifically it means by "Security Updates". I'm still on the OLD unlimited data plan. Because of this, I have to use FoxFi to tether as Verizon doesn't allow it. I'm worried this update may block it.

Can anyone confirm FoxFi still bypasses Verizon's tethering check post update? My Note 3 is totally stock, not rooted, and updated to the last patch(before this one).

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your continued feedback about this update. I am still clinging on to my Note 3. This is most certainly my last subsidized phone on VZW with my UDP.

In any event, I was just as shocked as you guys to see the system update notification. I went straight to Tibackup and froze the "System updates" app, which has tamed the notifications.

Everything is pretty much the same I dont notice any difference really.

Only thing is it seems my battery life has become worse.

That's what I've noticed too maybe we just need to factory reset our phone somebody should test that and give us feedback I haven't noticed anything changed with this update maybe possibly a better signal will update in a couple days and battery light seems to be an affected slightly

Update for everybody with the Note 3 I don't know if it's coincidence or not after updating but when I'm in the YouTube app and have my charger connected to my phone it will say dock is connected really quick and then disappear it will probably do this two or three times a day just wanted to throw this out there and let people know that there might be a bug in the update I will check my USB port and see if it's clean and not damaged

Hey Speed_Phreak - thanks for your post, I think I'm on the right track but still having some trouble. After freezing "Security Policy Updates.apk," "Samsung Updates.apk," and performing a restart, the OTA "security update" notification persists. How did you access "system update.apk?"

I don't suppose anyone has found a method of rooting while on the new PL1 update? I was trying to unlock the bootloader, ran into some issues, and when I used Odin to restore the firmware, I was on PL1 and unrooted, naturally. The Yemen root and Arabic root methods don't seem to be effective on this version, sadly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfalcon:
I actually just now was able to walk it back to OB6 from PL1. I was trying various things on here and managed to get it to just go directly to the bootloader with the "Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant" screen coming up. So I did and it still was broken.. but it lead me to get in there with Process Monitor and get the path of the image it was downloading. After that was copied to another drive (along with it in it's decrypted form), I fired Odin back up and began trying to flash it with roughly the same results. As I was thinking I was ****ed at that point, I began to use the switches that we shouldn't be using.. notably the PIT file to wipe the partitions, reference the OB6 image instead of PL1 and probably the most important, Wipe and Reinstall NVRAM and Bootloader.

Now mind you, on my screen I knew I did something different was when it would repeat something like "Erasing/Deleting USERDATA partition" over and over again each time I pressed the Start button (Oh, and I wasn't using autoboot). After a while, I again rebooted it into the loader, then just did a normal restore from OB6. Then when it finished, it did a few things and then hung at the Samsung screen. But from there I knew what to do. Rebooted and wiped the cache/data. It booted into Verizon then hung. Then I just rebooted into safe mode. That brought me up to the GUI.

From there it was just to get dev mode re-enabled, use ArabicTool to root and hop onto the market for SuperSU.

I'm not sure if I did anything but just jam on it like a tester monkey, but I had brought this phone out intending to hack on it after a failed bootloader change attempt a few months ago - when I restored it, it was sadly the day after the PL1 update went out.. so when I went to Kies, it didn't give me the option to roll to OB6.. only PL1.

So yeah, I was hard ****ed - kingroot would get nailed, no root tools as it's patched to December's android vulnerability update and bootloader gave me fuse errors. I'm frankly surprised that I got around the bootloader like that after jamming it. But something tells me that the download I got from verizon's app opened the bootloader up for me to reflash down to OB6.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
[MENTION=1019328]jfalcon[/MENTION]

So long as the anti-rollback fuses have not been incremented from

RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A4, P1

you should be able to use the standalone version of Odin to go all the way back to NK1 or OB6 or OF1 (so long as you have those full stock ROMs).

Using Kies or VZW Software Repair or something else besides Odin probably just complicates matters.

Having said that there's no root for NK1, but I guess OB6 and OF1 are rootable

If you check your Download mode screen, is your device still showing S1, T1, R1, A4, P1?

PS: You didn't happen to capture the PL1 download did you?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfalcon:
Yes, in fact it does.

It also states Mode: Developer (fwiw)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you applied a full stock ROM including the bootloader components without also running the unlock method it wouldn't say Developer mode. Unless the (modified) aboot partition was never touched by whatever you did.

But that's good to know - it means that someone on PL1 can roll back to NK1, OB6 or OF1 using Odin and the full stock ROMs; it doesn't increment any of the anti-rollback flags. (They will have to run the bootloader unlock method again after rooting - 2 passes if they never did it previously, or only the 2nd pass if they had previously used it - the CID change would not get touched by the ROM flash, even if bootloader components were flashed)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quimolhado:
Mine is showing RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A4, P1 as well.

Then it would only be a matter of flashing the OF1 stock rom using Odin? Where would I go about finding a copy of this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfalcon:
I got the file here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-80200/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
[MENTION=8016965]Quimolhado[/MENTION]

I would guess that you have to get older versions from sammobile or similar firmware archive site.

I think the method that jfalcon describes (discovering the download location used by the VZW software assistant while it runs using Winternals "procmon"*) would only allow you to capture whatever version that software attempts to download, which would likely just be the latest (PL1)

[MENTION=1019328]jfalcon[/MENTION] is that what you experienced? Did you keep a copy? (If so can you provide file size and MD5 hash for the PL1 firmware?)

* on Windows you can (usually) just poke around in the active user's Temporary Files folders and intuit where it is by size and file datestamp
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaiseB:
I agree. Battery life has gotten way worse after this update. Anyone have a way of going back to previous firmware version?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NachoAndroid:
Has anyone had errors with the screen not really functioning after doing this update? This problem developed after this update. When you power on the phone it shows the Verizon screen but then when it loads the Android software (lock screen) the screen goes blank except for the notification bar, and you can drag that down and view it, but you can’t see anything else. (basically it bypasses the lock screen [even though I have a password] to the home screen, but doesn't show the home screen)

Now a few days later the battery life has suddenly gotten terrible, it will drop huge percentages and suddenly die. Now I can't get the phone to boot, as soon as it gets to the lock screen it automatically restarts. It was also getting very hot near the camera. I tried clearing cache, closing apps, removing SD card, even removing the SIM card but nothing resolved it. Won't boot in safe mode. Phone is not rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
My money is on a hardware failure that was contemporaneous with the patch application but not caused by it - a coincidence in time.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Hard to say for sure though; heat acts as an accelerant of a variety of electronics failure mechanisms & others are making the claim that battery life has been reduced. (More rapid discharge = warmer phone, all else being equal)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cssr:
Has anyone tried this? If you have the PL1 update and a unlocked boot loader. Flash TWRP with odin, Boot twrp and flash superSU. That's how I rooted my 2 other samsung phones. Maybe too easy, but it may work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
For the condition you describe - where the bootloader is already unlocked, yeah that does work - but ONLY if the bootloader is already unlocked. I did it once because I was running some kernel replacement experiments in the recovery partition and accidentally left a non-bootable recovery in place, and then also wedged the rooted ROM as well. Odin to the rescue, but as I say, it booted the custom recovery only because my bootloader was already unlocked.

Hard to imaging though why someone would unlock their bootloader and then apply a OTA update to a rooted-stock OB6 device. Stranger things have happened, though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cssr:
I only posted that because some people said the update was forced on their phone. I was thinking of a way to get root back without using Odin to clean install OF1/OB6, rerooting the phone and unlocking the bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
No worries, your advice is absolutely correct. Just thought I'd emphasize the unlocked requirement in case someone wasn't reading carefully. There will no doubt be 100% stock PL1 owners that come in here later on looking for a way to root.

Actually, I suspect you can *flash* whatever you like to the recovery partition using Odin, even when the bootloader is locked. I haven't confirmed that by trying it though, mostly because you wouldn't be able to boot non-Samsung recoveries in that (locked bootloader) circumstance anyway.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cssr:
No you cannot!!! It will not boot until you reflash stock recovery. I found out the hard way!

Has anyone had a problem free experience after updating a stock vzw version?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
From a stock version OTA upgrade to a newer version went fine for me several times. Then, once rooted.. NEVER take another OTA nor flash via ODIN if you want things to go smooth and keep root.

There are several versions that can be rooted (4.4.2 and below + OF1 [5.0]) and several that can not be rooted, 4.4.4, OB6 (5.0) and the latest version PL1 (5.0)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:

I believe charging has become slow for me I used to be able to use YouTube and whole bunch of apps and my phone charge up fairly quick I don't know if it's due to the update note I haven't done a factory reset so you can take all this information with a grain of salt also everything seems to be smooth in my opinion just the battery was affected I will keep up the date of any problems that arise

Not the OTA, but the entire NL1 package is available on sammobile.com you have to be a member to get it, but membership is free.

Will, this phone didn't get a bootloader unlock until after it had been released for more than 2 years. Most folks that wanted to do dev work had already bought other phones and moved on by the time that happened.

Ive recently HARD Bricked my Goophone i7 trying to flash with a Goophone i6 ROM (i know every dumb of me) but the chipset/cpu was the same! MT6572

i thought it would work but now it doesn't power on

when connected to pc

via usb

the computer makes the sound where it is connected

but i do NOT see the drive in c://

therefore i cannot re-flash this clone... yet

can someone tell me how to get the phone to connect for flashing when its HARD bricked?

or should i just throw it away...

also does ANY ONE have Goophone i7 ROM?

Dears,

i have HTC one E9+ and purchased 6-7 before from online and did not notice that device does not have warranty.

Now its started shutting down and when restart then battery goes to 1% or some time decreased 30-40% of the battery and its happen only when i start using the devise like youtube, skype or whatsapp etc but while on idle status dont face any issue.

I even did the factory reset but no improvement and then i thought could be a battery issue and then contacted HTC and they said perform below tasks and if battery above than 75% then not a battery issue.

Now i dont know what should i do to resolve this issue.

can anyone put his/her experience to fix this issue.

1 - charge the device until the LED turns green <br/>2 - turn on air plan mode

3- Go to settings > display > increase the screen time out to one hour and increase the brightness to 100%

4-then restart the device

5- Unplug it and leave it for one hour

if the battery level below 75% that is mean the battery need to be changed

Incase anyone needs it:

Turn device off

Press and hold the "E" and "Z" keys

Press Power button once

When screen comes on, let go of "E" and "Z"

Press Power button once again.

There should be a black message atop the screen saying reset activated.

Then wait several minutes while it resets itself to factory.

Hope this helps someone.
