[Galaxy Note 3 General] Silent Lain:
Safestrap is / was used as a means to be able to use a custom recovery with a "locked bootloader". The fact that you get this warning means that your bootloader is still locked.

The usage of TWRP requires an unlocked bootloader!

Unfortunately I do not know whether you can unlock your current bootloader or not, and if not whether there are any options to make it unlockable (e. g. upgrading or downgrading the bootloader to an unlockable version).

According to the developer of safestrap (honestly, it's the first time hearing about safestrap or I might have simply forgotten), its recovery is "based" on TWRP 2.7.1.x.

Since the required usage for most ROMs (and kernels) are having actual TWRP installed, they assume that you have an unlocked bootloader without mentioning so. So I think using safestrap for RRN, and especially RRO which refuses to work properly with TWRP versions below 3, will not be possible.

I suggest if you are interested in running TWRP and this rock stable setup, your first step is to research how to unlock your bootloader if possible.

Hello, just found your comment now about Gear S3 working perfectly on this Rom. Happy to hear that.

I had to remove this Tom because I could not get it to work with my frontier. That was and still is my issue.

Please if you still have it working perfectly, would you be so kind as to help me out with the steps you used or direct me to the thread where I can find it.

This will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello! I installed the ROM around 2 weeks ago. Had some minor issues finding the correct files for my Note 3 but eventually I got where I wanted to get!

I'd really like to congratulate and thank you for this amazing ROM! It has "resurrected" my Note 3 from the shelf! I'm using it as a Wi-Fi Hotspot and the battery last around a full day - which is great!

Thanks once again and keep up with the great work (even if you won't further update this thread/ROM).

[MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION]: unfortunately I had no success in flashing a rock stable Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.5.

I followed your advices, but after a while the system UI gets often restarted when the sync is turned on, or apps use too much resources.

When system UI is restarting, the phone is gets to the lock screen, and the phone is unaccessible for long minutes...

I suffered from this problem on my Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.3.

I have 250 user apps installed. I don't know if this matters.

Then based on your description I flashed clean Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.5.

But now I reached the same effects like the ones I had in the previous v5.8.3 install.

I also get force closes of the Google Play services.

Also rarely random reboot happens (1-2 times a day).

I'm afraid that if I start with a clean flash the result will be the same with system UI crashes.

Any idea what causes and how to fix it?

I have Samsung Gear and Gear S.. I thought it was impossible to use the with a non-samsung ROM.. is there any thread that can help me learn how to update the buil.prop file? or what are the steps do i need to take to make my galaxy gear working with a non-samsung ROM?

Many thanks in advance.. cheers... :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] grumpycoder100:
There's a reason why Samsung phones work well with Samsung watches: they both have the software and proprietary libraries required to integrate the features into one another. You can do all you want; like trying to change device id in build.prop or other ways but when you actually try to open the app and/or start doing something within the app, the app crashes on you. AOSP ROMs are not Samsung firmwares.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ernest33:
Just use software like 'Solid Explirer' or 'Root Explorer' then go to /system and open 'build.prop' file (note in 'root exolorer' you need to long press on file to select 'open on editor' in the popup menu).

The two parameters are in the beginning of the file.

Save the change and reboot. All is working now. Just note you need to download from site like APK mirror the three apks needed.

- Samsung accessory

- GearO plugin

- Samsung watch manager
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rikrok:
Thanks for shedding some light at the road that i thought was a dead end :good:

I am pretty novice regarding hacking the Samsung gear watch. Can you please describe or point out where can i get some more step by step information regarding what parameters i should update to make gear watch work with a modded ROM? Are these parameters in the watch or on my phone? and how is the backward compatibility in case it doesn't work for me and then i can put the watch back to its default ROM/parameters.

thanks a bunch! :o
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ernest33:
The only two changes are on your phone. I'll take some time to make a step-by-step instructions ?.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
Sorry for the delay. I was travelling overseas with little time to check XDA.

All I can say is that I have 600+ user apps in my phone and no issues at all.

Before starting again, please make sure you have the Nordic BL/modem.

I also recommend a brute-force clean install, meaning to format data, using the [Format Data] TWRP button and then typing "Yes" to continue, followed by [Advanced Wipe] selecting System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache.

Of course make a full nandroid backup and also backup everything you need from internal storage before starting.

Download an up to date GApps. I recommend

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180929.zip

.

Hope this will solve your issues.

Your tutorial is so well tailored on Android ROM newbies that I made up my mind and got it installed and working.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] billysa:
Excellent ROM and fantastic tutorial, compliment!

However, I have an annoying problem with the connections (wifi and LTE). The connections very frequently show the symbol "X" and for the wifi the message "connected without internet" appears.

For wifi and LTE I have to disable the connection and activate it again and everything works.

How can I solve?

EDIT: I followed the tutorial exactly, installing Nordic Countries Bootloader and Modem

To people heaving issue with nordic modem no sim detected !

nordic from here works perfectly, u just failed to install properly.

TWRP is major break for this one. u must install twrp 3.2.1.0 as suggested in topic then flash bootloader , then install ROM

sim card will work without issues!

I know , because i accidentally flashed bootloader and installed rom while heaving old 2.8.7.0 twrp and got sim problem , its easy to notice, after u flash rom twrp will throw 2 error logs. Its immediate warning sign that something failed, even if systems boots up it still failed! pay attention

Thanks [MENTION=3342533]svbarbosa[/MENTION] !

Small question, what is best way to prevent rom updates? I just got notification : rom update available

I am also heaving issue with magisk, safenet keeps failing, i tried hide/unhide and since then i get error "due to changes in gapps its no longer possible to use repackaged magisk"

So i updated to newer version ..and now it give me manager is not supporting this version..flashed back v16 again and still cant get valid in safenet test

Indeed, the Bluetooth call bug is a deal breaker for me.

Still, since it is not for some users, I am considering to create an optional Pie setup for them.

My wife's Note 3 is back in my hands. I’ve replaced it with a Xiaomi Mi 8. She's very happy with the SD845 speed and now I have a full time test phone. :)

It seems my three N9005 are undestructible.

I searched nfc on this thread but no one seems to be having the problem I'm having now…

I have to say I am impressed with [MENTION=3026895]DaOldMan[/MENTION]'s ViperOS build and [MENTION=6561802]jprimero15[/MENTION]´s Zap kernel.

Honorable mentions to [MENTION=6817913]gj86[/MENTION] for his Synergy kernel that served as base for ZAP and to [MENTION=7217720]Jairus980[/MENTION] for his great Xenial kernel.

I have run a series of PCMark battery benchmarks on ViperOS/Zap. These benchmarks are a great stress test. I had no issues at all. Certainly Rock Stable material. :good::good:

I will post the results as I find the time. Too many real life issues right now. :p

[MENTION=6561802]jprimero15[/MENTION], I want to try and bench one of your Pie roms. Which one would you suggest me to?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jprimero15:
Try Evolution-X
[Galaxy Note 3 General] svbarbosa:
I was afraid you would ask for this one. Hate roms that come with gapps. :p

But since you are asking I will do. :cowboy:

Right now I am running benchs on [MENTION=3482571]shane87[/MENTION]'s AOKP 7.1.

When done I will do latest NMBNMB RRN and then move to Pie, with Evolution-X and RR-P built by you.

Big thanks for all the stuff and clear instructions!

One question for the wiser ones: how to get Glonass working?

When on stock ROM I can access service mode and rebuild NV - then both GPS and Glonass work.

Flashing with Resurrection (or any Lineage for that matter) kills Glonass. There's no way to access service mode on non-Samsung (custom) ROM.

Yes, I followed the tutorial precisely, so I am on Nordic Countries Bootloader and Modem (my effective location being Poland).

GPS is rather crap, takes ages to fix (yes, I checked GPS antenna connections) and there's no Glonass.

In comparison my Ulefone Armor 2 (stock) works like a dream in this respect. I guess I could get a fix with GPS+Glonass in 2 seconds while being in the cellar...

The question is:

Can I try different BL and CP safely (I understand, yes)?

Will it change anything?

Can I try just a Bl or CP alone and not both?

If so, which ones?

In some other thread folks say the most recent is Egyptian one. Someboty is apparently using Egyptian BL and Nordic CP with good effect but I understand there's still no Glonass.

In any case links for those BLs and CP here are dead anyway,,,

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FaKK:

Hello guys,

Thaks to the great work that allowed me to get a fully working Note-3 - even faster than when running Lollipop !

Well... it took me near a week before I coulde grab all the needed resources, most links being dead.

However, I am facing a really uncommon behaviour : allthough the GPS is active (see attachment), no applicaiton can use it nor detect it.

Excepted GPS test, for instance, or GPS status, but allthough they display the satellites, they cannot fix any of them.

I have tried many possibilities found here and there on the net, but none of them could fix this.

Not even the gps.conf fix https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713.

And, I even discovered that the file is erased from /etc - well ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Downloaded all the stuff - I had to strike a lot, most links being dead, so I had to do lots of searches before I could finally grab them

Installed TWRP

Installed Nordic BL & modem

Rebooted into Recovery

Wiped System, Data and Cache

Flashed RR-N-v5.8.5-20180101-hlte-Official-vidwhal.zip and rebooted system, then adjusted date and time

Rebooted into Recovery

Flashed [Hlte][Xenial-b26x][02.01.18][N7.1-GSM].zip

Flashed Magisk-v16 (it further updated to v20)

Flashed open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180311 (stock complained about lack of system space)

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

Rebooted into system

Added my Google account

Installed my apps

Discovered the GPS problem and, despites browsing and reading tons of pages, still cannot figure out what is wrong with it

O-kay, I am not 100% sure I did not miss or do something wrong, but having spent hours on this, I think I will never be able to find it on my own.

I re-red the post twice before replying, and still feel puzzled.

So, yes, pointing me to my mistake would be kind.

And ?

All those posts I already read, which do not match my exact situation.

Let us see my config, together with the screenshots from the OP :

Screenshot 1 : RR-OS version is now RR-N-v5.8.5-20180313-hlte-official, as I flashed it 5 minutes ago ;

Screenshot 2 : The baseband version is the correct one - it has always been, since the beginning until now ;

Screenshot 3 : Magisk has upgraded to v20.4, along with its manager in v 7.5.1, and reports SafetyNet OK, ctsProfile: true and basicintegrity: true ; it does not mention any boot image, though ;

Screenshot 4 : I do not see what it corresponds to ;

Screenshot 5 : there again, I do not know which menu it corresponds to. In any case, nothing on my phone. I mean : no Bootloader, PDA nor CSC information there ;

Screenshot 6 & 7 : GPS test displays almots like on the screenshot, except no fix.

If I install fixgps from post 1, phase 2, point 5, nothing happens ; if I copy gps.conf into /etc, it is erased upon next reboot.

So... I read, re-read, re-re-re....re-read, and still cannot see what is wrong.

Flash stock rom and test GPS .

GPS has always been a problem for a few on non Samsung roms .

You can try flashing latest bootloader and baseband .Be sure you have actually installed the bootloader baseband in this thread first .

Phone Info from play store will show details .

Note GPS .conf file should point to a local server , edit if not

Alternative try a newer rom
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FalCT60:
Thanks,

Flashing back to Lollipop, the GPS works fine.

Phone info gave me some details that made me feel scared...

First, the bootloader seems not to be the correct one (N9005XXGBRL1), but the bandebase is correct (N9005XXUGPQB1).

Er... I think it would be much easier if I could join screenshots - but I could not find out how to attach pictures from my computer on the forum.

Well, according to this, what do you think ?

As I wrote before, most links (Mega, but not only) are dead or unreachable (or need some special access), and I had to struggle to find the stuff - which, in fine, may not be exactly the one advised, according to the info displayed by the tool.

I would appreciate if I could get working links to correct stuff.

Rgrds,

Bootloader see Post one . Or Bootloader and Baseband thread or flash stock rom with latest through Odin .
