Easiest way You need to just download Nexus root toolkit to your computer plug in phone and let the toolkit do the work it will flash the proper files and reboot the phone

Do not Re- lock bootloader until you have flashed back to stock or you will brick it for good. Or don't lock the bootloader at all for that matter and yes save all files photos anything to PC..Or flags drive before you restore cause it will all vanish

Hi... Why would someone install another program just to do what is done in one click?

I mean... Extract Google image, run flash-all.

Hello, my display broke down. The whole phone works just nothing can be seen, the touch screen works. Before giving the guarantee I wanted to rip the data. Can someone make a movie, put the phone next to a ruler and connect it to a computer. Then select the data transfer mode. I will try to perform this operation blindly.

What the heck. I'm on pure nexus , custom elementalx kernel and some tweaks here and there , and this afternoon I was driving of the highway and felt that my phone was getting a bit hot , as if it was on. Looked at the screen and nothing , it was off , nothing was running. After like , 1 hours , I came back home , looked at my phone and the battery was like on 30% , when I was previously on 50 some .. Just look at this graphic and tell me what you think of this. I force stopped the app from running , cleaned the cache and data. What's going on with Google app ?

I have the same problem with the recent 7.1.2 beta update. The phone doesn't last for more than 4 hours in idle (stand by) state.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Ok, do you know what is draining your battery...Google App? On my phone in just over 6 hours Google App has only used 1% battery, calculated at 20 mAh. Assuming you have a known good battery (eg. capacity >85%) it may be time for a factory reset? If you don't know what state your battery is in, try running Accubattery for a few days to get an estimated capacity of the battery vs. design. I'm running 7.1.2 Beta 2 and only losing 0.3%/hour (standby overnight) per BBS. Lost 3% battery last night over 9 hours. Stock ROM, rooted, EX kernel. My battery shows 97% capacity using Accubattery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I had very poor battery life on 7.1.2 on the stock kernel unrooted and ended up rooting and going back to a custom Rom and kernel. I don't suppose you checked the stock kernel settings before flashing ExKernel? Stock based Roms based on the latest Google images have been reporting bad battery drain. I think Google has started using default kernel settings that are causing battery drain and if you aren't rooted and using a custom kernel there's nothing you can do about it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
I have no battery problem after flashing factory 7.1.2 DP2 including factory reset. Quite the opposite actually. All sync, backup, high precision localisation, Google photos , etc.. enabled. And most of the time on 3G or LTE.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Treu55:
I want to know if the phone contacts are stored in some place after finishing the Bluetooth synchronization and leaving the car.

Also, I want to know if there is some way to encrypt all the system and asking for a password before the booting process, or perhaps checking an usb token-key.

I suppose the GPS data, favorite places and other data are stored in the system.

Is there some way to encrypt all this information?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
Then just flash the N900VVRSEPL1_Modem.tar.md5 modem using Odin. (In the AP slot)

The modems are in a separate folder titled "OdinFlashableModems"; they are meant to be flashed separately according to the whims of the user.**

**having said that - and to stay on topic (which is these Stock ROM flashables) - if any connectivity troubles are encountered, the first thing to be tried is matching the kernel version of the ROM with the same modem version. As in NC4 modem with NC4 kernel, OB6 modem with OB6 kernel, et cetera. Flash the ROM in TWRP, and the modem in Odin (I actually am right now going through a matrix of flashing tests; already it is clear that the NC4 modem can't be used with NJ6 or NK1 kernels, for instance.)

For these ROMs (discussed in the OP) it's probably a good practice to simply download both the ROM of a specific release and the matching modem and perform the first boot of the ROM with the releases paired together. After that folks should feel free to screw around with modems to their heart's content.

cheers

Flash modem from CP slot,

Power off phone, start Odin, turn on phone in download mode.. (vol. down + home + power) and then plug into computer. Hit Vol Up to switch into download mode. Wait for com: notification in Odin and hit Start in Odin.

The above is only for XXXmodem.tar.md5 files. For complete ROMs that also include modem, follow the same except flash from AP slot.

I don't know why, but booting from power off into download mode seems to insure modem only tars 'take'.

[MENTION=1923941]donc113[/MENTION]

I'll admit that I've never come across an Odin guide of any technical depth. I've used both the AP and BL slots (not together) for bootloader firmware, and largely haven't had any major issues flashing modems in the AP slot.

I'm wondering if there is no other purpose for the "slots" other than to be able to sequentially flash firmware using multiple file sources "in a single go". (i.e., the slots are not functionally different from each other, and are mostly there because Samsung service centers have firmware files partitioned by BL/AP/CP/CSC functionality, and the "slots" simply remind their techs to "fill up all the slots" when a complete flash is necessary)

One thing that is certain is that having begun an Odin flash, you can hit the "reset" button in the application (after the phone issues a RESET), but you need to restart the phone again in Odin/Download mode to perform a second flashing operation. Thus (maybe?) the need for multiple slots if firmware is in multiple files?. I guess I could break up a factory image into multiple sets and experiment but that seems low on the priority totem pole right now.

roll your own Odin .md5 tarballs:

tar -H ustar -c -f Odin-flashable-XYZ.tar flle1 file2 [...fileN]
md5sum Odin-flashable-XYZ.tar >> Odin-flashable-XYZ.tar
mv Odin-flashable-XYZ.tar Odin-flashable-XYZ.tar.md5

These are in fact Verizon Stock ROMs. If they were intended to be for multiple carriers (out of the box) they would not be in this specific forum, and I would have mentioned it.

That said, any hacks/mods that might have worked in the past on SM-N900V stock ROMs could be possible, with "some assembly required".

I don't have a T-mo SIM to test out the method described in the link [MENTION=1923941]donc113[/MENTION] provided above. (I can tell you though that with a VZW SIM, on the PL1 ROM you only will see "LTE/CDMA" and "CDMA" under Settings->Mobile networks->Network mode. I suppose that could depend on what SIM was in when the phone booted, but I don't really know)

If you get it working, please file a success report. Don't forget to mention the version that you flashed - you omitted that in your Q.

I dont have a verizon SIM to try the method described in the link. But I flashed the OF1 modem, and when I first start the phone with the T-mobile SIM, it says T-mobile and there is signal bars - and then immediately the data connection goes away and the "not a verizon SIM" comes up:silly:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
I noticed after my initial reply that those instructions [MENTION=1923941]donc113[/MENTION] referenced presumed there is a "global" mode toggle in the Settings menus, and that doesn't seem to be the case for OF1 (as you say) or PL1 (as I observed).

This isn't an area of expertise for me - I've always been on Verizon, so I never had much of a need to hack a phone to a new carrier. (I'd recommend that you have a complete backup of your EFS partition before you start messing around.) << read that part two or three times.

On PL1, there is this (needs to be executed as root if you don't start it from within an app such as "App Browser"):

am start -W -n com.test.LTEfunctionality/com.test.LTEfunctionality.LTEFunctionalityTest

And then scroll down to "LTE APN Setting". Hitting the "+" sign (upper right corner) allows you to add a new set of APN parameters. Thing is, I don't know if this is something that allows you to make only a temporary change or if they "stick" after you exit that activity.

There is a file in /efs (namely /efs/apn-changes.xml) which seems to hold APN configuration data, but I have no clue if that is consulted for configuration information, or merely a copy of data that really lives elsewhere.

If the phone isn't your daily driver, you could probably flash back to the NC4 ROM as an experiment to see if "Global" is still available in the settings menu. Not so much because you would want to use an old, insecure ROM, but just to see if you can successfully get it programmed to work with T-mobile for voice+data+sms+mms. At least if you figured out what the correct settings were supposed to be, you'd only be faced with where they are supposed to go in OF1/PL1 (Were you using this phone before on T-mobile? If so, what ROM?)

There's a ton of stuff under the hood with those hidden settings. Hundred if not thousands of tweakable parameters. (If you want your head to spin look under IMS Settings) I would be careful about randomly poking at things. Apparently there's a fair amount of stuff stored in NVRAM which has nothing to do with anything that gets flashed by Odin with factory images, so it is entirely possible to permanently mess up a phone if you aren't super careful about recording prior settings and watching every keystroke. Some of those "maintenance" menus seem to be really poorly programmed - not defensively - and you could make unintended changes simply by walking through a set of menu picks.

Took a look over in my AFH area at the file counts to see what the activity level was. (The Note 3 is an "old" device, 3 years is approximately infinitely old LOL)

Over 60 downloads of the ROMs (OF1 and PL1 mostly) and about the same count for modems.**

And yet not a single report here of something actually getting installed. I suppose (as XDA doesn't require a login) that lurkers vastly outnumber XDA contributors ???

Ahh, well; I put them up there so folks could use them. Hopefully that's the case.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sczar:
Cool :good:

Just for info to anyone else that get that error:

Basically its an error you get if you are using the wrong twrp. In your case you are using an hlte recovery not N900V twrp recovery. But what you did will work :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
^this.

The custom recoveries don't do any fancy hardware detection during the assert in

META-INF/com/google/android/update-script

; they merely check the value in the script against the property

ro.product.device

that is established by init from reading the /default.prop file when the recovery boots up. Wrong recovery? Wrong ro.product.device value.

The situation is somewhat muddled by virtue of the fact that there are ROMs that will install & run more or less correctly on multiple device types, so the devs either check for each compatible device in the assert statement in the update-script... or they simply omit the assert() in the script altogether.

Either of the latter can lead people to conclude that they installed the correct twrp version - "hey, I used it to install a new ROM and it worked."

I chose to use strict checking when I packaged these up.

In any event, here are the TWRP downloads for hltevzw
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sczar:

True. Its not a hardware detection. Its a command in the default.prop i was trying to simplify it as much as possible.

No need; apply wax polish. I used Novus Fine Scratch Remover (#2), but I would think car wax would work just as well. I used it to remove some marred patches from when I dropped the phone on hardwood floor and it skidded a bit, and not only did those patches disappear, but so did the fine scratches.

I don't think this would be wise for the screen, however, as it would probably harm the oleophobic coating.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marco2233:
I bought a second hand Galaxy note in Asia.

In Android settings it said GT-N7000 In the boot splash screen it says "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000"

However, I just wiped the system partition and tried to install a ROM for GT-N7000, and it says incompatible product,

because this product is in fact a SGH-i717, which is the US AT&T version of the phone.

However, I checked online and the SGH-i717 has a completely different key layout at the bottom, which my doesn't have. It also does not have the AT&T logo.

So what could be causing this ? It does look like my phone has been repaired, is this a replacement part causing it or some info stored on a partition other then system ?

Can I change the version number stored wherever it is ?

Thanks a lot

Simply put I want to Lock my bootloader and recovery even disabling recovery would be fine.

I'm basically asking if this is possible although I understand there are so to speak 1337 methods to bypass the Security measures I'm concerned with.

It's just most people's first approach to a phone they just found/stole is factory reset where frp would kick in, with the unlocked bootloader that would be easy af to bypass. *Not to mention frp bypass methods that are public

My goal is to set up my phone with the latest release of Pure Nexus + root and Latest TWRP, from there Lock the bootloader and then secure TWRP IE recover with a return to owner for reward with contact info.

Basically disabling/locking recovery with a return to owner screen and locking the bootloader as basic deterrent's for any common / petty their or anyone looking to upgrade to the phone they just found if you catch my drift.

-Also it would be nice to feel a little more secure with all these extra features PureNexus offers although I get that Android Security is fundamentally flawed these are just deterrents, also I'd be stoked to see this on a device I come across.

*Wouldn't hesitate to up call the owner of a phone that properly configured, although I know I could bypass it just a respect thing for me. :3
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You can lock the bootloader, but it can simply be unlocked again. The only way to ensure it can't be unlocked is to encrypt it, and no Nexus device has an encrypted bootloader. Recovery cannot be disabled, though you could flash a non-working recovery image to the recovery partition. In that case however, simply unlocking the bootloader would allow someone to flash a recovery image to the device.

Your goals are laudable, but you're wasting your time here. To accomplish your end goal requires a device with an encrypted bootloader, which means you want something that isn't a Nexus and is sold through AT&T or Verizon. Both carriers encrypt the bootloader so you can't unlock it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmakeITlookEZY:
So basically because the bootloader cannot be secured my efforts would be in vain, are we sure I can't simply relock the bootloader in the same fashion that the stock rom is shipped out.

IE I remember having to OEM unlock in order to flash a custom recovery, with that being said after flashing a disabled recovery is it not possible to then re enable OEM lock somehow even with Pure Nexus running.

*Perhaps even only with the stock rom?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I'll make this as plain as I can. The only way to secure the bootloader is to encrypt it. Locking the bootloader and resetting the OEM Unlocking toggle in Developer Options won't help since any potential thief can simply unlock the bootloader. If you want to improve security, set a pin, pattern lock, or password after you mess around with locking the bootloader and setting the OEM Unlock toggle to off (if possible).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmakeITlookEZY:
Simply disabling the ome toggle in developer setting doesn't relock the bootloader so would you say it's safe to run "fastboot oem lock" with Pure Nexus installed wipe data and then disable the oem toggle?

If that works wouldn't it be True to say I would need re enable the oem toggle and then "fastboot oem unlock" if I ever intended to replace the disabled recovery.

I really just wanted to shoot in the dark, although I don't want to brick my Nexus 6. Also sorry for a better lack of information on my part I don't mean to be a hassle.
