SIM not detected is for sure due to an old Modem, as explained in my instructions.

The modem and bootloader partitions are write protected. Even if Odin finishes with no error the new modem may not have been written to the phone. You must follow the instructions to the letter, specially the "remove battery" and "turn on directly to download mode".

Please install this app: Phone INFO.

Run it and go to the Firmaware tab. It will display the current bootloader and modem. Make sure they match the ones below:

[IMG="Phone Info - Firmware TAB"]https://www.dropbox.com/s/w1bkfhijoqg0xi2/Bootloader%20and%20Modem.png?raw=1[/IMG]

AFAIK no AOSP camera can match stock Touchwiz. A Better Camera comes close.

If you are not happy with it the only option is to go back to Stock Rom.

I would rather die. ;)

This is a secret. I am running a new setup with this rom and plan to update instruction on next weekend if everything goes well.

Since you found it go ahead, if you do not mind being a Guinea Pig. Dirty flash it over current installation and flash Synergy Kernel and Magisk in sequence. As always make a nandroid backup before.

Thanks for your kind words, but rom credits and thanks must go to [MENTION=6407372]tarkzim[/MENTION] for the build and to RR Team. I just write the instructions. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicshots:
I got it after installing a custom recovery! I forgot to notify you here! Thanks <3

It's strange because I had already been able to change before, but I do not understand much, maybe for you make sense! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rikrok:
From my point of view its not merely a life or death situation :laugh:

As I mentioned before you are providing a great active support on this thread and that is fully appreciated.. :good: :good:

However I was pointing out issues that probably could be fine tuned by [MENTION=6407372]tarkzim[/MENTION] or some other kind/helpful developer in the future updates of this great ROM..

I have used in past many different custom ROMs on my various devices but didnt see any camera issues of this type. Now this is more obvious to me becauase my little kids near the phone are laughing or talking loud then the sound distorts a little bit.. I just hope that someboday could fix this problem in the future updates :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
So it seems a clean flash is necessary. Sorry for that. Calls and everything else I tested so far are working well.

Well, stay tuned for the next setup. It will bring audio changes. Maybe these will affect positively the video recording. No promises. :o

Rev 3 - New RR Build, New Kernel build!

I have just updated the OP with a new revision.

The bad news: Clean flash is mandatory!

From now on we will use RR builds by [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION].

There is absolutely nothing wrong with [MENTION=6407372]tarkzim[/MENTION] builds. It is just that [MENTION=942201]vidwhal[/MENTION] is committed to our device and has a thread for the Rom.

Thanks again to [MENTION=6407372]tarkzim[/MENTION] for producing his amazing builds, in a moment we did not have so many alternatives. At that time only his builds had GPS working!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tarkzim:
Cool! another developer for your device :D

so that i will not building ROMs for this device anymore unless my friend needs me :p
[Galaxy Note 3 General] BaguM:
Hello

I tried your rom on my n900l. Before RRN was installed darklord note7 port.(os 6.0) and c9 aspire rom with same os. Bootloader and modem was updated when installed os6.

Do you know is it possible to find kernel for my phone?

While setup after flashing was bootloop. Kernels i tried recommended in your instruction(all note 3 variants) and find in topic other kernel for korean note3(unfortunatelly n900s).

I installed this way:

Wipe-RRN Setup-Reboot=bootloop

Install Zip with kernel-reboot=bootloop

Wipe-RRN Setup-kernel-reboot=bootloop
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rawready:
which bootloaders and modems are best to use this build with N900T or do i still flash nordic countries..here in the united states
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Sorry. My experience is limited to the hlte SM-N9005 International Note 3 variant.

You may be able to find more info on your variants in rom/kernel/bootloaders&modems threads indicated in

No, please don't stop, tarkzim.

Your rom is one of great roms for samsung galaxy note 3.

We ( old phone users) are proud of you.

At least, I'd like to say, " Keep going your Nice Job".

I always appreciate it that you contributed for old Users.:good:

Thank you~:victory:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tarkzim:
well, there is a RR dev for you guys also a note3 owner, it's meaningless that keep building 2 unofficial builds from the same sources at the same time, and for me i can't debugging with this device since i don't have it so all my work is just build it with sources.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jackdm1:
With the new build dated Rev 3 28th July.

The new RR build is still not allowing me to make phone calls to an extent. When I make a call I cannot hear anything through the ear piece, but when I put it on speakerphone I can hear other person on the line, I then turn off speakerphone and the ear piece speaker finally works, all this is during the same call.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
It is working fine here. :confused:

Is your Note 3 a hlte? Did you clean flash?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] szkatulk:
Great ROM

I have neglected bad news message and made dirty flash over the 2nd "tarkzim" ROM. Previously I have tried to do a clean flash using Titanium "update.zip". Unfortunately TWRP has refused to install it so I have choice to use Titanium for each apk separately (some still need adjusting the data) which will destroy my few day effort of setting the whole system in the the way I like it to be. So I have reverted "tarkzim" ROM back and made dirty flash over it, including Synergy kernel etc. .Result is very good . Everything is ended well so far.

All services (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, IR, LTE etc.) and sensors (also Temperature, Humidity, Pressure etc.) are working correctly (as far as I have checked them). ROM is very stable (was less stable with synergy RC 16 kernel, few time it has switched off out of the blue), battery consumption is reasonable etc. It provides my beloved SGN3 new life against very bad ad shorthanded policy of Samsung against it own flagship phone (no updates).

S view window is now active and is allowing to answer and refuse the phone calls without opening the cover.

Some people have asked about S pen. Partial solution is the so called CM S pen Ad On and Note Buddy apk's. One may choose the apk's to be revoked when pen is detached/attached etc. In some respect it is even more than original S Pen service was offering. This at least partially restoring original functionality of both S View and S Pen

One issue was NFC/Android Pay. Although theoretically accessibly/working I was not able to perform any payment. Reason seems to be very simple, namely NFC antenna is in the battery, so if using replacement battery it may be case.

Overall I am very grateful to all the developers and creator of this thread it very useful and promising activity keep going this way
[Galaxy Note 3 General] opexblue:
Hi... I have N900S Korean and I have succeeded installing this amazing ROM. I try many different kernel and the only kernel work for Korean variant is Purify Kernel.

You can find it in this thread : [Kernel][Repack][Hlte][15/07/17].

Use this kernel : [Hlte][Purify][02.05.17][RRN].zip
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Jackdm1:
Yes I cleaned Flashed....

GPS not working. [MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION]

Not getting fix. Clean flash ROM, same modem & bootloader as yours. Followed instructions. Previously I was with Phorensis rom (Same problem though)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
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.

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 they are ok the last resort is to capture logs and post here. Use SysLog app to do it.

Welcome to the world of custom roms, custom kernels and root. :)

Nothing to worry about. Perfectly normal. Means your warranty is now void.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] anshulsingh:
hi, Flashed this setup an hour ago and things seems to be doing fine.

Here are a few things that are bugging me

1. charging at 50% is showing me 2 hours untill full.(It took me aprox 1- 1.5 hrs on phronesis rom from 0-100)

2. transfering about 2 gb of backup from pc back to internal memory and it will take 10 hrs more.

any fix for this?

Can I use titanium backup to restore my apps or install them fresh for smoother performance?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I see already 10 downloads in AFH of the new rom build I uploaded today.

I am testing a new setup but had a few random reboots and GPS is taking to long to get a fix.

I only update my instructions after a few days of testing with no problems, since the objective of this thread is to provide a

stable

setup.

Of course you are free to try anything new I upload. If you do always make a nandroid backup first and please let me know how it goes.

1 - My phones charge at 1800 mAh. About 1.5 hours to go from 0 to 100. Are you using the same cable/charger you were using before?

2 - I did a test here and my transfer speed is average 3 MB per second. It took me 12 minutes to transfer 2 GB. Something is slowing down your connection, maybe on the PC side.

3 - I have been using Titanium Backup to restore user apps after a clean flash since Gingerbread and never had problems. It is also ok to restore Titanium XML backups of call log, sms messages and wifi passwords. Do not restore system apps or settings.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] asdfgh1234@:
Can only connect to 2.4Ghz wifi

This rom is great. The battery life I am getting now is the best. However, I am not able to detect 5Ghz wifi signals and connect to them anymore after flashing the synergy kernel. I can only detect and connect to 2.4Ghz wifi. Is there a way to fix this?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Been looking for a long time to install Nougat to my trusty N9005 and after seeing this thread, finally decided to test it out.

It took a long time to back-up all things, but now it seems ok. Tried to use Pixel-launcher, but I'm just so used Nova Premium, that I installed that as a launcher again.

Have been able to solve almost everything, but for some reason I just don't get the gallery to show my old photos from SD-card. They just don't appear there... Can see pictures with file browser and if I take a new picture (which goes to same folder on SD-card, where the old pictures are), it shows on gallery:confused:

Any insight on that? Maybe another gallery app? Any suggestions?

And how about stylus? I actually never used it, even on Samsung software, but is there any way to get the functionality on custom roms? This is not in any way priority to me, though :D

But, thanks for this work! Great!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] marbutina:
For the stylus you can use http://www.emandt.net/Android/SPenCommand/Website/
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I have a 5GHz router at home and phone connection is fine.

There is a wifi region setting. It may help. Take a look at Settings -> Wi-Fi -> 3 Dots Menu -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi region code.

Use the app Wifi Analyzer to display wifi channels graphically. It will show the 5GHz wifi channels the phone is able to use.

I use an old version of QuickPic, the latest before it got bloated by Cheetah Mobile.

Download from APKmirror: QuickPic 4.5.2.

Thanks [MENTION=1155517]marbutina[/MENTION] for spen info. There is more info in my previous post

here

.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Any knowledge about the price of that? I couldn't find the prize on the page... Most probably won't pay for that, because I don't really need it ;) But nice to know, where to look, if the need arises!

Downloaded and installed QuickPic, worked fantastically and seems to be a nice app. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] grumpycoder100:
You might wanna update your phase 4 of your OP [MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION] , people might get confused by the file name of the RRN ROM. Just a reminder ;) :good:

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

By the way, will everything be okay if I uninstalled Magisk via Magisk Manager? For example, would bootloops occur?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Thanks for reporting. Done! :o

Never tried myself, but I guess it should work ok.

If it doesn´t just reboot into recovery and dirty flash magisk uninstaller / rom / kernel and you will be fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Silent Lain:
This sounds very much like a "media storage" problem. To my knowledge, the gallery app references to the files stored in media storage but in many custom ROMs the media scanner doesn't properly scan all files, in your case it didn't seem to scan anything at all but does scan new files.

In my case it usually only scans some files but not all by a long shot (especially when an external SD card is involved). To fix this issue and ensuring proper functionality with other apps which uses the media storage (e.g. to display correct folder size in a file manager app like Solid Explorer), install media.Re.Scan, go to advanced mode, delete all paths, add paths to your internal and external SD card, and let it scan everything. This app force triggers the media scanner to scan all files (files which has been scanned won't be scanned again to save time).

Depending on the amount of files and size of the files this could take a while (like an hour in my case with 40k Files) so if you need the battery juice, do this task when you are near a power socket. After I add more files to my Note 3, I just let it scan again.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Yes, that seemed to be the exact problem. Working now, thanks!

P.S. One other thing came to mind. File Manager seems to need root-permission to be able to read/write to SD-card (Files-app seems to handle it fine without, though). How do I give it the permission? Magisk Manager?

Well, actually I googled it and saw that, though it gives a pop-up (toast, I assume) and asks for elevated permission, there isn't a possibility to give it a root-permission on Lineage File Manager xD So, I assume I have to use another file manager?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] txx3:
is v 17 still recommended over v 18?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mahrukhsa2:
having bootloop after installing v17 synergy kernel..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I do not use Lineage File Manager. My recommendations are

Root Explorer

and

Solid Explorer

.

Both are paid, but well worth the investment. Solid Explorer has a nicer interface and a 14 days trial period. My personal choice is Root Explorer.

No matter what you do stay away from ES File Explorer.

I am currently testing rc18. My recommendation is to wait until I update my setup.

Make sure you are not using any kernel settings app.

Make sure you complete all steps in my setup Phase 1.

Refer to

this post

to check if bootloader and modem are really updated.

Dirty flash rom, rc17 and magisk, no wipes, reboot.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mahrukhsa2:
yes i have checked through phone info app.. bootloader was succesfully installed..

now i have flashed rc16 lite..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zuzamen22:
I tried to install synergy kernel but it never worked (RR N Rock, TWRP 3.1.1.0, synergy rc18, newest bl and modem). Flash without any error. I always have an unending system load. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
For those who are anxious with new rom and kernel builds I have not so good news. I am testing them and still have problems with random reboots, slow gps fix and wifi connection. Only when issues are ironed out I will update the setup. For now please keep using the recommended builds.

How long are you waiting for the phone to reboot? After a rom flash you should wait at least 5 minutes before you give up.

I need logs to be able to help. If you are willing to try again save the recovery log when you finish flashing, right before rebooting.

Go to Advanced -> Copy log and save the log. The log will be copied to your external sdcard root dir as "recovery.log".

And remember that the recommended Synergy kernel build is still rc17.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zuzamen22:
Please, my logs. I waited several times 20-30 minutes and did not turn on, constantly booting.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
No need to wait for more than 10 minutes. A full Art cache rebuild takes 2 to 4 minutes.

I checked your logs and did not find anything unusual other than the "mdss_fb_ioctl: unsupported ioctl" in dmsg. Tried to google it but did not find anything helpful.

Try a clean install again, but this time do a full wipe, including internal storage. Of course make a backup of what you need first. I saw that your internal storage is almost empty so this should be easy.

Follow these steps:

- Reboot into recovery

- Use advanced wipe to wipe System, Data,

Internal Storage

and Cache

- Flash RR-N-v5.8.3-20170723-hlte-Unofficial-vidwhal-no-magisk.zip

- Flash Magisk-v13.3.zip

- Flash open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170720.zip (or the one you prefer)

- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING

- Reboot System

Do not install Synergy Kernel for now. Use the rom for a while. Let me know how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
Roger! I'll probably will check out Root Explorer sometime. And I have seen, that some China company bought the developer (of ES File Explorer or the software at least) and filled it with ads and questionable things... Sad...

One thing I liked to use, was turning phone to silence it. What I read, this is not possible without separate application? Is there any other way to quiet the call without hanging up?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Easy one. No need for separate app. :)

Start Phone app -> Open the three dots menu -> Settings -> Sounds and vibration -> Enable "Smart mute".
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSuomi:
And I looked everywhere and even googled it xD

There seems to be other interesting things there too, like Automatic Proximity Speakerphone... Well, you live and you learn:fingers-crossed:

Bootloop on my Hlte

No matter how many times I followed the instructions

I still get bootloop when installing synergy kernel

My device is N9005

Have latest baseband and modem

Xenial seems to work fine

I'm using twrp 2.8.7.0

I followed exactly like in your instructions

Earlier I used cwm then twrp latest

Still no luck

To flash aroma

I rolled back to twrp 2.8.7.0

Is there any hope for me?

Because I've been trying to get this work for a decade now.lol
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
There is always hope. :)

For some reason in a few cases it seems flashing Synergy kernel causes a bootloop.

What I am suggesting for these cases is avoid flashing Synergy kernel while we figure out exactly what causes the bootloop.

First flash TWRP 3.1.1.

Then follow the steps in my previous post

#144

.

Please let me know how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AB$:
Unfortunately I tried to install via latest twrp 3.1.1 earlier. No luck.

Guess I'll wait till you guys find out the problem

And it's good to have some hope

Beta Setup - RR584 Build 20170806

I need volunteers willing to help me test the new setup. :cowboy:

The major issue I am having with latest RR build is GPS. Time to get a GPS lock is unacceptable.

I have my own gps.conf, created for Marshmallow. I have used it for Nougat with the initials builds, but for newer builds it became unnecessary and I put it away.

Now using it seems to solve the GPS lock delay. At least it is working for me.

Since GPS is a touchy issue, I would like to have confirmation it works from some of you before I update my setup.

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

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

First download the needed files:

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

- Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1.zip

Then follow these steps.

- Reboot into recovery

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

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

- Flash Synergy-rc17.zip (yes, rc17, let's move one step at a time)

- Flash Magisk-v13.3.zip

- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!

- Reboot System

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

Now go outdoors and test GPS. It will probably take longer to get a fix. It is expected. I just want you to confirm it is happening with your device also.

No panic. Now it is time to apply the GPS zip:

- Reboot into recovery

- No need to wipe anything!

- Flash Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1.zip

- DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING!

- Reboot System

Now test GPS. It should be working again!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zuzamen22:
ROM works great without synergy kernel. Thank you for doing so much work, ROM is very cool.

In general, I need a kernel on which FauxSound will work. On the stock kernel of Nougat (RR) it works but has no gain function. On every other kernel the application has FC. I was hoping Synergy would work :(

I will try to clear the internal memory.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Julian CM Kwan:
Hi bro, thanks for the very detail procedure. What's the difference between RRN 5.8.4@vidwhal (with Magisk) and RRN 5.84@vidhwal (without Magisk)? Can I just dirty flash it over RRN 5.8.3@trader 418 without flashing bootloader/modem and latest gApps? It's stated in your OP that it's compulsory to flash bootloader/modem. Your advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GingaB:
I had problems with Magisk so will try this version without one. I'll report back soon
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
There is absolutely no difference between the standard zip and my "no-magisk" zip other than the removal of all Magisk related stuff.

I only change the install script to remove the Magisk flash survival add-on code and the Magisk Manager rom system app.

You really should update your bootloader and modem, mainly because of bootloops and the "No SIM card detected" error.

Flashing latest GApps is recommended but not necessary.

As always, you may try to dirty flash this RR build over older builds, but if you have any problems you should clean flash and test again before reporting.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
New Setup - RRN 5.8.4

New setup is up. I have just updated my instructions in OP / Post #2.

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 needed files:

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

- Fix-GPS-for-hlte-la14.1-based-roms-v1.zip

Then follow these steps:

- Reboot into recovery

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

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

- Flash Synergy-rc17.zip (yes, rc17, if you want rock stable)

- Flash Magisk-v13.3.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!
