Wierd.. My GPS used to work fine with the 30-11 build.. It now stopped working suddenly. It sees plenty of sattelites, gets a white block / In Use mark in GPS Test as well but GNSS status stays on No Lock and it won't lock on at all. Not even after multiple reboots and AGPS refreshes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Sorensonn:
Hi guys.

Can you tell me how to fix bluetooth? I've been using August edition of this rom and suddenly few days ago I started getting "BlueTooth Share keeps stopping. close App" message when I try to switch it on. I tried wiping cache, running the phone in safe mode - nothing helps. I really don't wan't to do a full wipe just to fix this...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Imprezzion:
Replaced gps.conf and added GPS.XML and GPS_vzw.conf from a older TW6.0 Phronesis ROM that i used to use and backed up the GPS files from.

Everything back to normal. Lock within 5 seconds indoors with 23 in view, 8 locked, 6m accuracy and full GNSS lock almost instantly.

So, for me at least, the problem is still within the gps.conf included in this ROM or in the absence of the GPS.XML or gps_vzw.conf file.

Could not do normal boot: ODIN MODE

So yesterday with the release of Synergy Unified 27Dec(?), I decided to try again ROM 12/23 version. I did just that. I flashed ROM and it was okay. SIM is detected. But I found that it was ruthless (root-less). So I went to recovery, and flashed 12/23 ROM + Magisk. Guess what? for the first time, my phone showed:

Could not do normal boot:

ODIN MODE

:

:

And even when I try to do the routinary remove battery, SIM card, SD card, leave for 5 minutes, I am not able to go into recovery. It is always in Download mode. So today I flashed CF autoroot file (CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5), flash ROM, and it fails, like due to some inherent checks. I then tried using philz_touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5, and I am able to flash 12/23 ROM, but my phone still goes back to Download Mode.

Is there a better way to fix this? Any newer files to use instead of what I am using? Please help. Thank you!

-----

so I was able to flash TWRP recovery v2.8.7.0, and I tried to do a restore. It failed. I'm typing out the error msgs:

Wiping Modem....

E:Partition '/modem' cannot be wiped.

E: Unable to locate partition by backup name: 'firmware'

E: Unable to locate partition by backup name: 'efs'

E: Unable to locate partition by backup name: 'modemst1'

E: Unable to locate partition by backup name: 'modemst2'

:

:

E:Partition '/modem' cannot be wiped.

and it stops there. All the while I am doing dirty flash. Will clean flash help the situation now?

-----

So between dying while waiting, I decided to do a clean flash, then restore. It failed. So I did another clean flash, and I'm currently setting up my phone right now. Thankfully, there is still Google's back-up and all, so it is not from zero. A few more taps and a few more installs, and restoration should be done. Should be good enough. Anyway, if anybody has anything to say or add to make this recovery a better experience, I'm all ears.

Thank you and Happy New Year, everyone!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Imprezzion:
Sure, place all 3 in /system/etc and overwrite when asked. Fully restart the phone after replacing the files (preferably a shutdown and fresh boot).

If it still isn't locking, get GPS Test from the play store and clear and update AGPS. Should instantly lock then.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] svbarbosa:
Flash a full Samsung rom using Odin. Download it from Sammobile.

Let it boot to make sure phone is ok again. After a successful boot flash latest TWRP using Odin and you should be back in business.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BalleJas1:
Does your 'Device Only' GPS work in Aeroplane mode??
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PrfyVdlx:
I was able to do it another way. I flashed TWRP 2.8.xx via Download Mode and then I flashed 12/23 ROM, the ROM in use when the back-up was done, and after the usual install, I updated TWRP to 3.2.1, went to recovery, did a restore sans System (else, error like System already installed). And that is how I got my phone back.

I'll take note of the procedure you mentioned. I did see that also in my searches. So now I have 2 ways to do recovery in case it happens again. Thank you, mate!

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] nijom:
I had this issue with an earlier build.

There's an app named Proximity Fix (3.4 star rated) in play store. It fixed for me
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] powerbyandroid:
Which one?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anasgeo:
When we say custom kernel we mean the kernel that rom has built in
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Eleo:
No. The kernel in ROM is called stock kernel (since in this thread, the topic of interest is this ROM, but not the stock samsung firmware). Custom kernel is any kernel (different than the one present in this ROM) that you have flashed after flashing this ROM. Otherwise you cannot differentiate between kernel in ROM and other kernels that are present.

I hope it is clear.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] anasgeo:
Sorry I made a mistake . I wanted to write the stock kernel not custon

Can this be flashed with safestrap, or does it require an unlocked boatloader with twrp?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
I'm not very familiar with safestrap so I can't really provide an answer. I know that safestrap is intended for getting around locked bootloaders but never have tested on mine (since it's not locked :P) but that may be all the info you need :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ammar_maher:
1-UnSu ( Unroot your device )

2- flash the kernel ( RC16)

3-flash magisk v12

4-reboot device

5-open magisk manager and enable magisk hide and check core only mode

6-reboot your device

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ammar_maher:
please follow my steps that i mentioned you before

and you should know that you must install magisk after installing the kernel \because kernel removes magisk su

Would it hurt if that person tried flashing your rom with safestrap?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:

its not the magisk thing

i usage a battery of 1200mah it drains fast.. it only happens when i install the kernel some fix?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] aillez:
From what I experience.

It's show as -1200Mah but not consume that much.

I used to left in uncharge when said -1200 Mah but my battery decrease only 1%/Hr.

So what I try to say is It's fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ammar_maher:
im using the same kernel wihout lspeed or greenify and the battery life is more than excellent

[MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] seen the issues i had with my CHN device, you think there could still be something in the Lineage base causing the issues [MENTION=8225077]powerbyandroid[/MENTION] and [MENTION=8826969]DrDrummer[/MENTION] are experiencing? As far as i can tell from the feedback we see the connection should be ok and stable for [MENTION=8225077]powerbyandroid[/MENTION]

One small last question to [MENTION=8225077]powerbyandroid[/MENTION] and [MENTION=8826969]DrDrummer[/MENTION] please state which RRN version you flashed (RRN HLTE, RRN HLTECHN or RRN HLTETMO) also which mobile operator you're connecting to. (As example my device SM-N9008V, China Mobile model, Qualcomm CPU, RRN HLTECHN 5.8.5 latest version 23/12/2017, stock kernel, Opengapps Nano, no Xposed, Magisk 15.1)

Thanks guys, wait a bit before reflashing to an older version until [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] replies, unless really needed ofcourse as i don't know if your device is your primary device or not.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Chinaboy5216:
That should solve it normally, i'm just a bit worried it's still something in the underlaying Lineage code as this problem has been around for a while now. That's why it would be great if [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] could also have a look.

Flash in TWRP, if you use Magisk then flash Magisk after Xenial to maintain SU
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PrfyVdlx:
Hello p're, this is how I flash zip files, it could work for you, too. You have to try it to know. Even though we all have the same N9005 phone, they don't respond in exactly the same way. So try it to know which method and zip files work.

A. Dirty flash usually works for me.

1. Reboot to Recovery.

2. Flash ROM.

3. Reboot to System.

If you want to use 3rd party (or custom) kernels, proceed with below steps:

3. Flash UnSU.

4. Flash Xenial or Synergy kernel.

5. Flash Magisk.

6. Reboot to System.

CLEAN FLASH, if you must

B. If all backed up, try Clean Flash

1. Go to recovery.

2. Do a Wipe. In most cases that is all the clean up that you need.

3. Flash ROM.

4. Reboot to System.

Try dirty flash method, and if all else fails, do clean flash. for my case, 12/23 ROM conflicted with customer kernels. But with the latest releases, my SIM is already detected and all other functions work.

A few posts back, I hit a problem where my phone reboots only to Download Mode, whatever I do. I got that fixed already, and I was trying to remember why I did a flash. I found out that my camera doesn't work so I can't use Whatsapp Web or Desktop - a must for me as we use WA at work, extensively.

I have flashed the Nordic BL & modem zip file as [MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION] suggested. And even while my phone is already working, I did another flash (procedure A) to confirm everything is working, of course, after a fresh back-up process.

For now, I don't experience the SIM not detected problem anymore. Bootloader, ROM, 3rd party Kernel, Magisk, all latest releases. Hope you are able to make your phone work, too. Happy New Year!

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

That should be [MENTION=8356256]Win1droid1[/MENTION] 4/5 pages back on the BL & Modem flashing. [MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION] replied to me with the flashing of a Samsung ROM for the recovery. Apologies, and thank you!

Battery Life Benchmarks - Stock x Custom Kernels

Here is my latest compilation of PC Mark Battery Life Benchmarks to compare currently available kernels for RR.

If you haven´t read my previous posts and need more info on PC Mark read the explanation at the end of this post.

This time let´s start with the results:

All test were done with RR-N-v5.8.5-20171223-hlte-Official-vidwhal, using stock kernel, Synergy, Xenial and my Xenial Repack.

Again there is no clear winner, but if your main goal is battery life and you do not worry about sacrificing performance go for Xenial. To get a few extra minutes with no performance impact use my repack. I turn on Adreno Idler with my custom settings for increased battery life.

[MENTION=7217720]Jairus980[/MENTION] is still taking care of his hlte kernel. His Note 3 went to his mother and thank god he wants to keep her happy. :)

If your goal is performance then go for Synergy. Best performance of all runs. [MENTION=6817913]gj86[/MENTION] is really busy with work/real life and has little time for his kernel but still manages to make it a good choice.

Stock kernel is the best choice for a balance between battery life and performance. Well done [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION]!

I used the kernels as they come, no tweaks. Of course my repack is a tweak of original Xenial.

This time I calibrated the lux output of each kernel to 200 lux, as required by PC Mark, so results are better suited for comparison.

I also ran a series with L Speed using the Balanced profile on Xenial. [MENTION=1172433]Chinaboy5216[/MENTION], do you use a standard profile or tweak the options directly?

Now some words on benchmarks and PC Mark:

Benchmark results are usually misleading, but PC Mark battery life benchmark shines by using day to day tasks to measure phone performance and battery drain. It repeats a series of tasks including web browsing, photo and video editing, text editing and data manipulation.

For these runs I started the benchmarks with battery precisely at 95% and the test automatically stops when battery reaches 20%, so the test consumes 75% of the battery charge.

For each run you get a performance score and the battery duration. Of course the screen is always on during the whole test.

If you want to learn more about PC Mark take a look at the site:

Hi guys! First of all, happy new year to everybody ?

Just wanna know something: is it advisable to dirty flash an update? Actually I'm on the September build. Thank you in advance ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] chris rock:
Flash 25/10 build....;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PrfyVdlx:
Hello parekoy,

If you are already running a ROM that is generically a base version of the new ROM that you want to flash, then it is advisable. You are required to do a clean flash only when it is a different ROM. Since your phone is already using the September version, then flashing the November or December versions via dirty flash should be okay.

Hope this helps. Manigong Bagong Taon!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Hmmm. Tricky.

Since I've got the n9005 personally, I don't have these issues. One other thing worth checking is that they're flashing the rom with one of the twrp 3.1.x.x or newer recoveries. Anything older could be causing an incorrect flash. If there was something in the code that wasn't right I'd be expecting a lot more people piping up about it so my gut says this probably isn't the case. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] powerbyandroid:
Cos my TWRP is 2.8.7, which mean I should flash latest TWRP?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] vidwhal:
Absolutely.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrDrummer:
My twrp is on the latest version, but still it says no sim card
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PrfyVdlx:
There are the usual fixes for the SIM Card not detected issue:

1. Do a Clean Flash instead of Dirty Flash; ROM latest is 12/23.

2. Flash the latest Bootloader and Modem.

3. Flash using the latest TWRP (3.2.1.x).

If still no SIM Card detected, try to flash Xenial or Synergy kernel, just to confirm that the same problem shows even in 3rd party kernels.

If 12/23 ROM exhibits this problem, try to do a clean flash and use November release (11/30, right?) and see if SIM Card is still not detected.

Hopefully, one of these will get your phone fixed.

How to know if you're already on the latest bootloader and Modem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PrfyVdlx:
Flashing 3rd party (custom) kernels can be in 2 ways:

1. Flash ROM

2. flash UnSU (to clean up kernel- and SU-related files)

3. Flash Kernel

4. Flash Magisk (or SuperSU, your choice)

5. Reboot to System

Sometimes, you flash ROM and immediately reboot to system, let the install finish and stabilize, then you go on to flash kernel, etc.

Have you tried both ways? Is your problem solved?
