SM-N900w8

Hello,

Do you have the latest modem for SM-N900w8 variant?

I cant get my sim card to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonymicronin:
I'm pretty late to reply but i flashed those some hours ago and they worked, thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Whenever I try to edit Gboard preferences it force closes.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Also SafetyNet says:

(with an X)ctsrofile: false

(with a check)basicIntegrity: true

Is this normal?

---------- Post added 19th August 2017 at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was 18th August 2017 at 11:05 PM ----------

Lastly, how would I go about installing BusyBox without loosing root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
To fix this issue you must update your modem as per my intructions in post #2.

Latest custom rom builds based on LineageOS, RR is one of them, require it.

Here it is:

N900W8VLU2DPG1_N900W8VLU2DPG1_Baseband_Firmware

.

Thanks again to [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION].

You may try to wipe Gboard data. This may fix the problem.

For SafetyNet you may reflash Synergy Kernel and Magisk.

But none of these problems should be happening. It will be a lot more work, but what you should really do is to start from scratch. Clean flash following my instructions carefully to the letter.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonymicronin:
First I want to say thanks for all the help and for this wonderful guide. I very much appreciate it. Anyhow wiping Gboard data didn't seem to work and I'll reflash synergy and Magisk after this post. I followed your instructions exactly except for one part where I used 7.1armStockgapps instead of pico. Also is it safe to install BusyBox?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Sorry for being blunt, but stock gapps is an overkill. The zip file is twice the size of the rom zip. Do you really need almost all Google apps?

Anyway it should work. Note 3 /system partition is big enough to handle it. So flashing stock gapps should not cause any problem other them bloating your phone. :p

For BusyBox you should use [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] install zip. It is Magisk compatible.

Get if from here:

[TOOLS][ZIPS][SCRIPTS] osm0sis' Odds and Ends [Multiple Devices/Platforms]

.

Download the UPDATE-Busybox.Installer zip at end of OP and flash it with TWRP.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonymicronin:
You're right about stock gapps. I don't know why but I've just always used it for some reason lol. I do find it weird that it's only Gboard(I think). I fixed safety net with the universal safety net fix in Magisk. Thanks for the BusyBox link.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
In that case you should start using pico gapps and install Gboard from Play Store.

I download my gapps from Play Store. Gmail, Google+, Youtube and Maps. I use Titanium Backup to backup and restore them when I need to clean flash.

I just checked SafetyNet here to be sure and it succeeds without any fix module. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonymicronin:
So I have to wipe system, data, cache and do a clean flash with pico gapps right? If so then rip.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonymicronin:
I did a clean flash and followed your instructions exactly even using pico gapss but safetynet still trips.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
And the other problems like the Gboard FC? Did they go away?

If the safetynet fix module works enable it for now.

If you have time install

SysLog

and send me the zip file it creates.

Send me also the magisk log: /cache/magisk.log.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Al-Bcherrany:
Hello.. i'm having the same problem with ctsProfile : false.. can i upload my logs and help me fix them ? Any help is much appreciated
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonymicronin:
Yeah Gboard works now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Of course. I am here to help. :)

Just follow the instructions bellow.

There is a crash in your Magisk log.

I will need logs again. First please install the apps below from Play Store (if you do not have them already installed):

-

SysLog

-

AIDA64

Now follow these steps

- Reboot system

- Run Magisk Manager and check SafetyNet

- Run SysLog and capture logs

- Run Aida64, select "Send Report in E-Mail" from the three dots menu, it will look like its is frozen for a while and then open a "Sending e-mail" window. You may send to me directly in sbarbosa@pobox.com or, depending on the apps you have installed, save it to a file and post here.

- Include also /cache/magisk.log and /cache/recovery/last_log.

Post here all logs. I will get back to you both tomorrow the latest.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sonymicronin:
Will do. Don't rush to help me, please take your time. This guide is great and the problems I'm facing are minimal at worst :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Al-Bcherrany:
That's it mate that contains both magisk logs you asked for.. i sent the syslog via email.. oh and thank you so much for you help

Synergy kernel problem

All steps I have followed as you mentioned. My modem and boot loader also updated. I have flashed the room and that was working until I went to recovery to flsh synergy kernel megisk and gapps. But I'm facing now bootloop problem because of synergy kernel. Please help me to fix it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
For now dirty flash the rom and magisk. It should boot.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] InSearchOfLight:
Hi svbarbosa,

First of all, thank you very much for all the hard work you have put in to put together this rom.

Now here's the issue....

My wife has a Note 3 (International Variant) which had the stock Lollipop ROM. I followed your instructions and flashed her phone after updating the modem and all....

Everything worked great, except that she uses Skype on a daily basis and for some reason this app refuses to work properly on your ROM.

The app installed fine and can login, however, whenever she tries to make a call, she can hear the other person clearly but they cannot hear her at all, or the voice through the mike is terribly distorted. I have been through the entire forum and came across the link for skype latency issues. I even flashed that but still the issue is the same.

By the way, if she uses headphones in Skype, the other party can hear her but she hates to use headphones.

All normal calls are working fine. Just skype is the issue. Any suggestions?

I have for the time being flashed another rom for her (Note 7 port - Marsh Mallow) based on TouchWIZ. On that Skype works fine but its quite slow and not as good as your Nougat ROM.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I've done everything yesterday, it works brilliant and its such a perfect work man! I noticed (only one) thing that doesn't work.

It is a GPS. Google Maps wont find my location even for few mins, so flashed "Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1" once again but without any results, still can't find my location. Take a look on these, please

Problem of boot loop after flashing synergy kernel

Ok but bro after dirty flash synergy kernel has removed. I want to use it with room. I don't understand with my device why its not working.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Al-Bcherrany:
Update : i updated to last vidwhal build by dirty flashing it and tried Magisk and passed safetynet successfully with stock kernel.. tried Synergy Kernel and now ctsProfile and basic integrity both false.. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Flash this fix (thanks to [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION]) in recovery: skype_low_latency_fix_RR_N_by_vidwhal.zip.

Please let me know if it fixes your problem with skype.

First make sure you have the updated bootloader and modem. It is normal that you follow the instructions and have no errors but they do not "stick".

Install and run Phone INFO. Check if you have successfully updated bootloader and modem. If not double check instructions in post #2 and update them.

If modem is updated and gps does not work even after applying the fix it is very likely that your Note 3 is suffering from GPS antenna bad contact.

Use the instructions in my post GPS Antenna Bad Contact Fix.

Checking your logs I see you are using the Magisk 13.6 official beta. I will start testing it this week with latest RR build.

Of course Synergy will be better, but for now if stock kernel is working for you it is best to keep it and wait until I update my setup.

Do you have any kernel settings app installed, like Kernel Adiutor or L-Speed? These may be the source of the problem.

You should also check if modem and bootloader are really updated. See my instructions above.

If these are ok then I will need logs to try to help. Please follow the instructions in my post

#212

to collect and send them.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tero bau:
THANKS FOR THE SETUP

everything works fine except in earpiece volume, it is too loww

anyway to fix it
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DigitAll_U:
Will this ROM work on N900s kernel hlteskt?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Sorry for my mistake. I had my mind in the GPS fix somehow. :o

I do not use Skype, so I can not test myself. Maybe I will install and starting using it only to be able to test. :)

Today I checked with vidwhal and his newer RR builds have the skype problem fixed.

Please dirty flash this build:

RR-N-v5.8.4-20170813-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal-no-magisk.zip

followed by Magisk. Try for now with stock kernel.

Please check post

#189

, thanks to [MENTION=5767740]matomik[/MENTION].

Viper4Arise will probably solve the earpice volume.

Sorry but IDK. My experience is limited to the N9005 Note 3 variant. You will probably find help in rom and kernel threads.

Stuck booting after restore

Hi all, I'm new to this forum so please be patient as I would like to request a little help.

I followed step by step Post 2, I flashed all and everything worked fine on my SM-N9005. The problem is that I try to restore just the data from the nandroid backup and after restore it doesn't boot. It gets stuck on booting. I've waited about 15 min. twice and nothing happens. Eventually I wiped the data and it booted fine. What's happening? Can anyone help in this matter please?

I'm being forced now to make a full restore to Android 5.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Unfortunately you may not restore the data partition of a nandroid backup. This is exactly the same as a dirty flash.

If you need to backup you user apps and data you have to use a backup app.

My recommendation is Titanium Backup. It has worked flawlessly for me since Gingerbread allowing me to clean flash countless roms without ever loosing any data.

To be really useful it is a paid app but it is worth every penny.

[MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION]

I've done these steps on the video, until it finds gps - no results

Yesterday i did flash android stock 5.0 just to rule out current OS defect - no results

I also changed bootloaders/modem to German ones (country next to mine) - no results

Now i wiped everything once again and installed back Resurrection Remix - Rock Stable - still no results

Too bad i need GPS navigation at work so badly. :/ Anything else i can try?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Julian CM Kwan:
Hi bro, I think it's time for you change your phone's motherboard. I'm in your same situation for the past year, in the end of day I did change my motherboard.

After changing the motherboard, I can lock on to my GPS with Samsung stock lollipop as well as after flashing aosp ROMs. I hope this will help.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
If I understand correcty, your GPS will not work even with a Stock Touchwiz rom and you have already tried to fix the antenna bad contact.

In that case I agree with Julian. You have faulty hardware. Sorry.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Julian CM Kwan:
Because I've done numerous time with the GPS in my note 3 hlte with the same procedures including opening up the back cover and tried to adjust the antenna manually to no avail. I went back to Samsung stock lollipop and tested the GPS again with the same problem.

Why not take your phone to a Samsung technician to check it. I did that finally and they came back with a faulty motherboard in the result.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RupeshRN:
I am use Twrp Recovery 3.1.1 and Flash Rom and Boot Successfully but IMEI Wipe. So what reason of wipe IMEI and How Can Fix It.

Try With Philz Touch and Installation Abort

After Flash RR Official 5.8.3 And IMEI Restore.

Thanks In Advance:)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I have flashed RR dozens of times with no such issue.

If your EFS partition is damaged, you need a backup to restore it. TWRP is able to backup and restore EFS, but I believe that you do not have a backup.

I have heard of EFS partition being recovered by flashing a Samsung Stock rom with Odin. AFAIK this is your best bet. Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] RupeshRN:
Thank for fast reply and I will Try Again with EFS Backup in Twrp Recovery.:)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
New Setup - RRN 5.8.4 build 20170820 - Synergy Kernel rc18 - Magisk Beta 13.6

If you are already running my previous setup follow the instructions below to update.

It will be a dirty flash. You will not loose your configuration / data. :)

If you are using Substratum overlays, uninstall them before flashing and reapply them later.

To be on the safe side, as always, make a nandroid backup before starting. ;)

First download the new files:

-

RR-N-v5.8.4-20170820-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal-no-magisk.zip

-

Synergy-rc18.zip

-

Magisk-v13.6(1360).zip

-

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170820.zip

Then follow these steps:

- Reboot into recovery

- No need to wipe anything. Not even System or Art Cache

- Flash RR-N-v5.8.4-20170820-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal-no-magisk.zip

- Flash Synergy-rc18.zip

- Flash Magisk-v13.6(1360).zip

- Flash open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170820.zip

- Flash Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1.zip (to speed up GPS fix)

- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!

- Reboot System

Please be patient. It will take around 3-4 minutes to boot.

You´re all set. Enjoy!

Just wondering if anyone has tried to use cardboard viewer with this setup.... I was using riftcat to use vr on my computer, however ever since I installed this setup, cardboard viewer lags and does not track properly.

I have tried to calibrate my compass but nad no luck getting vr any better.

Any ideas? I really don't want to go back to stock just to use vr.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GingaB:
Just dirty flashed over v5.8.4-20170806 and its smooth as butter! Cheers buddy!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I do not use cardboard viewer and my major concern is always to have less battery drain.

You may improve performance by tweaking the kernel.

First install a kernel settings app. I recommend Kernel Adiutor-Mod.

Then change the CPU Governor. Pick a more performance oriented governor like Interactive or, for maximum performance, go for Performance (battery will suffer).

You may also try to overclock the CPU. Each device has its own tolerance, but you should be able to use at least 2495MHz.

Once you find a tweak that works for you, Kernel Adiutor mod allows you to define a profile and assign it to an app. This way you can have a general profile that is not so hard on battery and a performance profile for gaming, and kernel adiutor will change it "on the fly" based on the app you are running.

More info on governors and etc here: [REF][GUIDE]Most up to date guide on CPU governors, I/O schedulers and more!. Thanks [MENTION=7005908]saber.[/MENTION]

[Galaxy Note 3 General] austin_99:
Thanks for providing these packages... it is much appreciated :)

I followed the instructions on the first post recently (v5.8.4-20170806) and everything worked perfectly :good:

One thing I did at the end was to uninstall Magisk as I want to unroot / prevent root access as I'm paranoid of malware etc. This worked fine and the Titanium Backup app reported that it couldn't get root.

I just upgraded to the latest build v5.8.4-20170820 as per your instructions - everything worked perfectly. However when uninstalled Magisk the phone wouldn't do a normal boot :eek:

It was booting into download, I reflashed TWRP and had to reinstall v5.8.4-20170820.

It's booting fine now. But I have yet to reinstall Synergy+Magisk+gapps+Fix-GPS as I want to avoid having the phone rooted again.

Any advice on what I should do? (bearing in mind I'm kinda new to all this) Thanks :highfive:

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Oh, one small thing I should mention in case it's relevant.

When I initially upgraded to v5.8.4-20170820 I installed the 5 zips (RR+Synergy+Magisk+gapps+Fix-GPS) at the same rather, using add more zips in TWRP. This was different to the initial install of RR where I did RR first, rebooted and then installed the 4 zips in one go.

Not sure if this makes a difference, just mentioning it in case it does
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Sweden Note 3 SM-N9005 as new, never operator locked.

Works perfectly with purify Unofficial CM 13 (with f2fs support, has f2fs system & data)

Pretty new with root, my second ROM.

GPS works too when I have wifi.

But would like to try this ROM.

Can I simply download this ROM, and Synergy-rc18.zip, GPS Fix, to mobile SD card, and install with TWRP 3.1.1-0 (only wipe system, data, cashe, first) ?

I want to install clean with GApps nano (or mini as now), and SuperSU pro.

I rooted just a year ago, so I probably have the latest Nordic Countries Bootloader and Modem.

Now I do not use a sim card, my Note 3 is just a wifi tablet, and does not use any bank or payment stuff on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
You can check Bootloader and Modem version by typing *#1234# and comparing version numbers to first post. I'm on a Finnish Note 3 and had the latest already myself.

About that SuperSU, that I leave for others to answer ;) Otherwise I would say that should work, but because of that SuperSU, I leave it to others... I actually like Magisk and it works even with bank software, for me at least...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Thank you.

Can I install the latest directly without installing the ROM on the first page ?

Or is it just an update, in the last post
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
You mean the latest Resurrection Rom-version? I myself would use the version Svbarbosa has tested to work properly... But I don't want to step on Svbarbosa's toes, so I think you should wait for clear confirmation from him, what is the best way :)

Even though I have rooted a few devices and used a few unofficial ROMs, I'm in no way expert with them...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
No I mean from the post here just 1 page before this. Are that a complete ROM install ?

The link; - RR-N-v5.8.4-20170820-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal-no-magisk.zip
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
If you do not need/want Magisk the easiest thing to do is not flash it at all.

Magisk 13.3 had a bug in the backup it saved to be used for its removal. This is fixed in 13.6.

If you decide to clean flash again just flash everything but the Magisk zip.

If you want to dirty flash you should flash following this sequence:

- Magisk-uninstaller-20170719.zip

- RR-N-v5.8.4-20170820-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal-no-magisk.zip

- Synergy-rc18.zip

- Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1.zip (to speed up GPS fix)

No need to wipe anything before or after.

For the last question, when you clean flash it is a good practice to boot rom alone first, reboot and then flash the rest.

For a dirty flash it makes no difference. Just flash all zips at once.

I was a die hard SuperSU user, but after moving to Magisk I had no regrets. The major reasons were Safetynet and the Magisk "magic mask" way of installing things.

Chainfire forgive me, but I strongly advise you to keep using Magisk, unless you do have an objective motive to use it other than "I like it better".

My advice is to always use my recommended build, for the simple reason it is the one I have already tested.

Right now this discussion is rhetorical as my recommended build is indeed the latest build 20170820. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Yes, I didn't quite understand the question properly (because first post is up to date) ;) Mainly, svbarbosa always updates the first post, after he has tested the new version/s. I mean, there might be some "lag", but now the first page is the latest he is recommending xD
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I tried dialing your suggested code "*#1234#" but it did not work in my phone. :confused:

Dialer displays the error message "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
That code probably doesn't work on anything else, but on Samsung's original ROM:rolleyes:

I checked it with my original Samsung ROM ;)

It instantly shows software versions, no need to even use the call-key...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] txx3:
[MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION] so which Kernel settings u're using? stock?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Because I like to tinker with things, I too decided to test this out. I mainly don't game with the phone (anymore), but I have 3 casual games installed (Microsoft Solitaire, Minesweeper and Hill Climb 2). Hill Climb 2 hitches "constantly occasionally", during races. I changed the governor to Performance, for Hill Climb 2 and after that the hitching was totally terrible! xD I just leaved it at default settings ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] :
I stay with SuperSU, I'm using more Chainfire; Logcat and sometime CF.lumen too.

(Using stock S7 for banking, payments and dialing)

*#1234# didn't work with my CM 13 ROM (no sim), I thrust that i have latest Bootloader & Modem (maybe one reason to Odin-flash bootloader, to get rid of writeprotection !)

I feel safe with writeprotected bootloader, and that are possible to flash later if needed.

Have all files on SD now, ready to install soon.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I use Kernel Adiutor-Mod to set the governor to Alucard. Synergy default in rc18 is Lionheart, also a fine governor, but Alucard is a little easier on battery with no loss of performance, at least for my usage. No heavy gaming.

I have never tried the performance govenor myself, but it is supposed to hold the CPU frequency at maximum. Weird it did not work for you. :confused:

Since you already know the drill, give the Alucard governor a try and let me know how it goes. ;)

Just double check if you have a Marshmallow modem at least. Best would be to flash the modem from my OP. Otherwise the "SIM card not found" may happen. :p

It is ok to flash only the modem and keep your bootloader. But if you have bootloops then...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] txx3:
thats it? i did like lower the UC to 1.9 and UV -15 with results nowhere near yours

congrats to you for having such great battery life :fingers-crossed:

i am on a new battery and reach maybe 2h and a half max on screen on time
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Tested it yesterday. On a daily usage I didn't find anything spectacularly different, though again trying the before mentioned Hill Climb 2, again showed much more hitches on gameplay, compared to Lionheart-covernor... So, I'm back on Lionheart ;D
