[MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION]....

What would be a recommended flashing procedure for someone still on Eko's 5.8.2 and set up on Xeniel Kernel? It's the one with Magisk removed I installed SuperSu as that's my preference.

Ideally I would like to dirty flash your 5.8.3 so I don't have to start from scratch again. But it's no longer on the first page so could you please send it here? And then eventually I plan to install 5.8.4 or can I just bypass 5.8.3 and install the latest one? Please advice...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Thanks for the tip. :good:

I always do it myself. I edited the post to add it.

You need to provide more info so we can help. Phone model, Odin version, what went wrong and as much more as possible.

Did you dirty flash? A clean flash should solve it.

To be honest, clean flash is what you should do.

But, if you are willing to take the risk, make a nandroid backup and dirty flash using the following steps:

- Reboot into recovery

- Wipe System and Dalvik/Art Cache

- Flash RR-N-v5.8.4-20170806-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal-no-magisk.zip

- Flash Synergy-rc17.zip

- Flash Magisk-v13.3.zip

- Flash open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170810.zip (or the one you prefer)

- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!

- Reboot System

Worst case scenario you restore the backup, make proper backups of apps and data and clean flash following instructions in OP.

Titanium Backup is highly recommended. But only for user apps and xml backups of wifi access points, call log and sms messages.

I was a die hard SuperSU user, but for many reasons, one of them SafetyNet, I made the move to Magisk. No regrets.

And before you start you must update Modem and Bootloader!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Droidherder:
Followed all the steps but I'm stuck at the beginning when flashing the modem in odin. I keep getting secure check fail and everything just stays frozen till I restart. I flashed the bootloader with no problems.

Edit 1: I reloaded my nand backup and I added a few more attachments as I feel like something is not right here with my phone or it's not compatible with this setup version.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
I must say, that I'm too very happy with the Magisk. Bank programs didn't like the rooting (naturally) and I just added them to Magisk hide-list and working perfectly!

Also dirty flashed per latest update and working perfectly. I am very, very happy indeed! Great work, thanks svbarbosa (and of course everyone who made these roms'n'things)! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GingaB:
Dirty flashing didn't work so I installed clean and voila it's all good. My Bootloader and Modem was updated a while ago so that wasn't required. And I am going give Magisk a chance. Cheers buddy!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Droidherder:
So you don't need the provided bootloader and modem to have the rom working?

Quote from guide first page

It was mentioned on the guide for the rom to work properly.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Well, I believe that you would only need to update them, if you don't have them installed already.

I checked my bootloader and modem versions and as they were the same as said on the guide, I didn't bother to reflash them again with the same version.

But if you have older versions, you should update them!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GingaB:
You only need to update if you have an older KitKat or Lollipop version installed on your phone. I updated mine to MM at the beginning of the year, whilst it's not the very latest but it works!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Droidherder:
Oh ok. I also updated mine when I got MM and Im currently on 5.8.3 so it should be fine to upgrade to 5.8.4. I even tried searching for any new Bl & modem for my phone but I couldn't find one. I read on here somewhere it's good to update the latest since it can improve battery and others things. Anyways thanks for information. I can now go ahead and flash the ROM [emoji1]
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Modem Tip - Why you should update to QB1

Any modem released with Lollipop stock firmware should work and avoid the "SIM card not detected error". Lollipop is the latest stock Android version for our Note 3.

But GPS speed also depends on modem. I have tried several different modems and the one I recommend not only is the latest, but it is the one that provides the fastest GPS fix.

So yes, you should update to my recommended modem, QB1, even if you do not get the SIM error.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Droidherder:
I tried but got a secure check fail when flashing the modem only.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
It is perfectly alright to flash only the modem with Odin.

Odin actually identifies where to flash each file contained in the tar file by its name, irregardless of the tar file name or slot you put it.

I could not read your model, but it looks like it is not a N9005. The modem I provided is only for the hlte N9005 Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ousasma:
He have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900W8 32GB (Canadian version)

He make a big mistake, because he didn't like to read before doing anything
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GingaB:
Well my GPS is still blazing fast so I wont bother updating mine. I am on GBPB1 which I installed a while ago..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ociortan:
Hi guys, I have an LTE SM N-9005 international, could you please tell me if this device can qualify to this RR upgrade due to the fact that it isn't HLTE? (btw, I don't even know what is the difference between those 2). Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SebastjanS:
I'm doing sth wrong and it must be so obvious that just i can't see what it is - hopefuly you can give me some pointers or advice.

I tried Ressurection and Lineage 14.1 ROMs but i just can't get them to boot on sm-n9005 (checked that all the downloads are correct etc). Downloaded all files in your post, tried flashing TWRP 3.1.1.0, flashing went well but now i can't boot into recovery. Latest TWRP i can get to work is 2.8.7. (or CWM 6.0.4.6 touch).

Basicaly i can flash anything but nothing works (except unofficial lineage 14.1 buil 20170116 from Trader418 - and even his latest build don't work).

I get stuck at boot screen with "GALAXY NOTE 3" on the screen and in upper left corner when going in recovery says "RECOVERY BOOTING....." IN BLUE AND "SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY" in yellow. With normal boot i get "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" in red and "set warranty bit : kernel" in yellow. That's all even after 2 hrs of waiting.

Could the flashing with non-original cable be the problem!?!

I am upgrading from Lollipop 5.1.1. (CM 12.1) that flashes and works flawleslly.

I'd really like to get you build to work on my sm-n9005!

I will appreciate any help!

EIDT: when i flash the ROM you provided in link with TWRP 2.8.7. i get stuck in boot screen with "set warranty bit : kernel" in yelow in upper left corner and galaxy note 3 logo in the center of screen. :-/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SebastjanS:
I think I found a solution. Will keep you posted in next few hours.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] A L E X A N D E R:
Heyho...

A SM-N9005 international is a HLTE. You can check this with a info app.

For example: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.devcheck

Have fun :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ociortan:
I just installed that awesome app DevCheck and it says that the device is not rooted, although I can enter into TWRP. Is that something I miss?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Yes, SM-N9005 is my target device. To be precise this device is an hltexx. hlte is a general codename for the Snapdragon variants.

My guess is that the bootloader and modem did not stick.

Install and run Phone INFO. Check if they are updated.

No need to wait more than 5 minutes for the phone to boot. If it is taking longer you may give up because something is wrong.

Root is not needed to reboot into recovery. Probably something went wrong when you flashed Magisk.

Reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk. Pay attention to the messages and make sure nothing went wrong. Your device will be rooted.

Viper4android Audio Mod For Louder Clearer Sound ​

Here is my guide on how to install Viper4android on your Moto g5.

Although Viper4android has been around for years for Gingerbread-jellybean roms the version for Nougat is experimental and so please treat it as such.

Screenshots

Requirements

A rooted phone running android 7.x - I have tested this on Lineageos but I will assume it will work on a rooted stock rom too

The zip in the attachment

A root browser - I use total commander

The ability to read instructions

Instructions

Once you have downloaded the attachment Unzip the contents to your sd card

Install the Viper4android app but DO NOT RUN IT!

Copy libV4AJniUtils.so to system/lib using your root browser

Set permissions of file to 644 or - rw-r-r-

You do this in total commander by long pressing on file, select properties, select RWX then in box type 644 or tick R & Word under owner and R under group and world

Select apply and apply again

Now open the Viper4android app

If you have done all the above correctly it will tell you the driver is installed and restart your phone

If you have not done the above correctly it will ask you to install the driver but the app will freeze if you try to

All good so far then restart your phone and carry on

Copy the folder Theitfixer to internal storage/Viper4android/Profile

Next you need to disable any equaliser apps you currently have running

In lineageos turn off AudioFX from within the app

Make sure you disable any equalisers that are part of the music app you use as some 3rd party apps come with them so look in the apps settings and switch it off

Now open Viper4android

Swipe right and select load effect profile

Select Theitfixer

Swipe right and select settings

Select Disable SELinux

Select ok

Note if you restart your phone you may have to disable SELinux again for it to work

Open your audio player app settings and goto the equaliser section

See if there is an option to change from the apps equaliser to system equaliser

Eg for pi music player - swipe left - goto equaliser and make sure it is off.

Then go to the app settings and change use pi equaliser to system equaliser

Go back to equaliser settings and turn off AudioFX if it's on

You will know its working if you open up Viper4android app

Swipe right

Select driver status

If the following shows it's working

NEON Enabled: Yes

Enabled: Yes

Status: Normal

Audio Format: Supported

Processing: Yes (when music is playing) No (When nothing is playing or not set for system equaliser or AudioFX is on)

If the above says unsupported or abnormal - repeat from load effect profile & make sure you have no other equaliser conflicting

Feel free to play around with the settings of Viper4android - after all everyone's headphones are different and my profile might not sound good on your headphones

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Superfish86:
I have the UK Version, trying to use it in the US on AT&T. If I did my research correctly, the phone can support 3 out of AT&T's 4 lte bands, but I'm only getting the H and H+ icon. I know that in the UK, the 4g icon means lte, but I'm pretty sure that H and H+ mean HSPA and HSPA+, not LTE. Is there anybody in a similar situation that is able to get 4g? And if so, do you mind posting your APN settings, or the steps that you took to enable 4g on the phone?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Combonary:
Mine shows 4G/4G+ (which is LTE).... The only bummer here's that it's super low where I live. I know my previous OP3T got higher service bars but right now I'm fine because I use WiFi 99% of the time. The settings I use are for the ATT PRODATA apn (you could just search for those settings on Google) and the phone also set to 4G preferred under mobile network settings. Hope that helps
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CWeaver34:
Is your IMEI on your AT&T account your XZP one? If so, that's your problem. I went through that already. I had support switch it to my Pixel and instantly got LTE on my XZP.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Superfish86:
I wonder why that's the case. My previous phone was an unlocked verizon lg g3, which didn't have all the lte bands on the phone. I'll have to try w a friend's sim or something and see I get lte then. That's the only way I know to test this.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CWeaver34:
Who knows? I have the G8142 model. Perhaps they weren't a fan of it. I was on AT&T years ago with my OPO and Nexus 5 and had no problems (signed with Nexus 5 IMEI). I switched to Fi then until a few weeks ago when I switched back.

I spent days trying different APNs and toggling data connections. I couldn't get anything. I even tried putting the sim back in Pixel and couldn't get LTE. I found a thread from years ago on AT&T's website about a guy having the same issue. I did the chat support on their website and asked they guy to switch my IMEI and gave him my Pixel one. I restarted both phones and got LTE and both of them almost immediately after he did it (while still in chat).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Superfish86:
I just found my old at&t g3. If I ask them to change the imei on the account to this one, will they do it, or should I play dumb and just act like the imei is wrong and ask them to check it?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CWeaver34:
I told the chat dude that I couldn't get LTE and I was pretty sure it was because my IMEI wasn't an official AT&T phone. He said that was probably why and I asked if he could switch the IMEI for me and he said yes, then I gave him the new one.

You could always say something along the lines of your phone breaking and just need to switch to an older phone for the time being, then ask if they can change the IMEI.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Superfish86:
I just had them switch it back to my G3, you were right in that they thought for some reason it was a 2g phone, the rep confirmed that AT&T is now sending data on their end, but I'm still not getting it on my end. Would you mind posting your preferred network type, and apn settings?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Superfish86:
Nevermind. The rep called me back and it was fixed. Now getting the 4g and 4g+ symbol on the phone. Thanks for the help :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] CWeaver34:
Not a problem. Glad it worked! :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] reiriop:
Does LTE not show up in the status bar for you? I have the international model as well and LTE often shows above the signal in the status bar. I also still have my Z5P, I factory reset the device and had a different AT&T sim added to my account and put in and there was no connection. One of the reps added APN settings and it started working, but it only shows H,H+,4G, or 4G+ and not LTE. I don't have it with me right now so I can't check the differences between the settings right now.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
If you have the G8141, when it displays 4G/4G+, it means you're connected to LTE. This threw me off at first too because I'm not used to seeing that.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] reiriop:
I don't think there are differences like that between the two models, I have the G8142 and LTE shows very often above the status bar. It sounds like your APN settings may not have been correct during the provisioning process.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
So far from what I'm seeing around here on the forums, the G8142 does actually show LTE whereas the G8141 shows 4G rather than LTE. You can actually verify this by downloading the app Cellmapper which will show you which towers you're connected to, which frequency band you're using and which connection type you're using.

Trust me, I went through this process already because everyone with the UK model (like me) shows 4G and everyone with the Dual SIM shows LTE. Another forum member explained to me that this is because of market differences in the UK being that they don't advertise LTE but rather only 4G (which is actually more accurate with regards to the connection type).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ibjaredu:
4G and LTE are the same thing internationally. Some regions on Sony firmware call LTE by different names- for example the Nordic firmware calls it 4G while central Europe 1 calls it LTE.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] reiriop:
Ya, ignore what I said earlier about the APN settings, I fixed them but LTE is not showing up in my Z5P, it's still only 4G/4G+. I originally thought that I had the Central Europe ROM on the Z5P but I did a factory reset and it seems to be something else based on the default language, but I can't figure out which one it is. Anyway another difference I see between the XZP ROMs is that the US ROM has more signal bars than the one on my XZP, can someone let me know how to find what ROM I have since the build number is the same for each of them it seems?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Jake_09:
Sounds like you have the UK ROM. Mine does both of the things you mention. Usually only 2 bars and shows 4G/4G+ when I'm connected to LTE. However, the signal bars thing may actually be due to poor signal because in some areas around where I live, I will actually get full bars of 4G/4G+
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] reiriop:
If the UK ROM does not show LTE it's not the one that I have. I was saying LTE shows up on my XZP but not my Z5P, I think my Z5P was from Taiwan but I'm not sure, I bought it on Amazon. My wife has the US XZP and that's the one I was comparing the amount of signal bars with. I would still like to know how to actually view what region firmware is installed though, I haven't found a good answer anywhere yet.
[Desire 626 General] jakesnot-hereman:
Unfortunately, Cricket has apparently decided that our phone isn't worth an update. However, with a little knowledge, you can get it up and working in no time.

Thanks to [MENTION=3689960]nightbreed813[/MENTION] for the original debloated MM ROM. Thanks also to [MENTION=5137743]noaone[/MENTION] for his tips. Without them, I'd still be on Lollipop.

[IMG="Cricket MM Logo"]http://i.magaimg.net/img/19ch.png[/IMG]

Prerequisites:

You MUST have a custom recovery (preferably TWRP) installed. No ifs, ands or buts. If you don't currently meet this requirement, see this guide: https://xdaforums.com/desire-626/help/complete-detailed-step-step-root-t3217505

Easy method:

Download the modified zip from this post

Copy it to your device's internal storage

BACKUP YOUR CURRENT DATA. This should work, but you don't want to be caught off-guard. DO IT!

Remove the SIM card. Keep it removed until you have completed the setup process. Replacing it before then will screw Android up, and you'll have to reflash.

Wipe System, Data, DALVIK & Cache

Flash the file you downloaded from this post.

Reboot your phone and wait for it to start the setup process.

Bypassed hands-free activation. Tap 'Done' in Self Service and accept that there wasn't a network to register to.

You can reinsert your SD Card at this point. Cricket will now set the network up for you.

.

You should be done now. Enjoy Marshmallow.

Manual method (Long):

Download a zip from nightbreed813's post.

Open the zip (preferably with Windows File Explorer), and, without extracting, navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android\

Open updater-script with a text editor, preferably Notepad++

Change the first 2 lines to

#ASSERT
unmount("/system");

, replacing what's there.

Save, and let Windows recompile the zip

This zip should now flash on your phone. Follow the Easy Method instructions (excluding step 1) to install.

[Desire 626 General] michielc:
Hi, thank you for providing the instuctions. I flashed the rom to my 626. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect to LTE on GSM band. I guess this is because it is a Sprint Rom that's designed for CDMA network technology ?
[Desire 626 General] jakesnot-hereman:
I see no reason why it shouldn't; Cricket is on AT&T's network. Still, make a TWRP backup just in case it doesn't work out, for whatever reason.
[Desire 626 General] jakesnot-hereman:
No, as long as you have a 626s on Cricket, it should work. (Besides, I think Cricket is running on CDMA anyhow, though I might be mistaken.)
[Desire 626 General] michielc:
It's actually a 625 from Cricket that I'm using but it's considered to be the same as the 626. Cricket is using ATT's GSM network. I really hope I can enable LTE connectivity.
[Desire 626 General] jakesnot-hereman:
Well, that's probably what your problem is. After following the instruction outlined in the post (on my HTC Desire 626s), I've not encountered this. If everything else is the same beyond that, it's the only option.

PLEASE check that you've followed the instructions perfectly, especially steps 4 &8.

If you're 100% sure that you have, it may just be that the 625 on Cricket is somehow incompatible here.

At any rate, I can only help with what I have, and I have a 626s. If the exact same methods that work with my 626s aren't working on your 625, I can't do too much. Sorry...

If I can help anyway otherwise, let me know.

Jake :)
[Desire 626 General] androcraze:
I used a Cricket 625 with the 626 ROM. Worked fine with the AT&T (StraightTalk) SIM.

A word of caution: this phone has very little room for much of anything. The stock ROM completely fills up the phone after all of the updates download (under Lollipop). This ROM gives you a bit of extra room, but not much.

I'm very happy with my no-ad Moto G5+ from Amazon. At $219, it's an incredible value. The bootloader is unlockable, and it's fairly "current" with nougat on the phone. Oreo is already in the pipe, and you can always switch to more custom ROMs after the Oreo updates quit coming.

With all of security issues plaguing phone users, old phones that can't keep reasonably current need to gracefully fade away.

[Desire 626 General] michielc:
I'm jealous now, I reflashed the Sprint Rom from this post (yes follwed all steps inc. 4 &8) unfortunately I still can't get a 4G signal. (3G works)

Exactly the reason why I would like to run Android 6 on this phone so I can use adoptive storage

I also have trouble opening the APN settings after flashing this rom. Most of the times the phone shows me this "Select your carrier" screen. When I select my carrier (Telfort), internet works but after a reboot I have to choose my APN again. Anyone knows how to get rid of these preset apn settings ? (I tried these instructions for editing the build.prop to get full access to the APN settings. All suggestions are welcome, thank in advance !
[Desire 626 General] androcraze:
I think I used a ROM called "AdvancedStock626_V5.zip". It's a bare-bones ROM, and I was able to manually set the APN.

You have unlocked your phone, right?
[Desire 626 General] michielc:
Yes, the phone 's bootloader is unlocked. I assume you mean this rom:

Is that Lollipop or Marshmallow ?
