[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulckruger:
Update:

It was my understanding (perhaps wrong) that Safestrap was a way to work around the locked bootloader (ATT) The video on the main topic on this talks about a Verizon phone even though the topic is specific to the ATT note 3. Are they identical with regard to Safestrap etc?

As of now I have Safestrap installed and working. Boots with open lock/Custom on boot screen.

My confusion arises from conflicting videos at YouTube one suggesting Safestrap won't install a custom ROM followed by another that says it will?!?

If it won't exactly what is the purpose of even installing Safestrap if you are still stuck with the exact same android version and all the ATT bloat?

-edit-

FYI currently phone no SIM not provisioned but was used on ATT then switched T_Mobile service (consumer cellular so I can switch between those two. ATT and T-Mobile service suck here but at least with T-Mobile I have WiFi calling on my J2 which avoids poor signal issue at home. Hoping to move back to Note 3 if a good update can make it Wifi Calling enabled )

So far the only reply here has been to tell my my bootloader is locked. Since instructions include using Safestrap as a work around that really does not help me.

At the start the guide was to upgrade the phone to Android 7. Things seem to break down for my understanding of all this if the only work around is Safestrap and if that cannot install a custom ROM how do I get from here to 7/Nougat?

SIDE QUESTION but important.

Having downgraded from 5.0 to root device, I am not getting a request to accept update from ATT ( back to 5.0 I assume ) which I deferred for now. The question regarding this is, if I permit the ATT push back to 5.0 on my rooted device will I lose that root access and have to start all over again? (

Darn I don't want that

)

Sigh...so confused.:D

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulckruger:
ROMS

So the whole topic of upgrading Note 3 to V.7 is a dead end? I'm stuck with a phone downgraded to KitKat from 5.0 after having rooted etc? Will a custom ROM for lollipop let me delete bloat then upgrade to Nougat?

The whole topic of upgrade to v.7 for note 3 is confusing because after two days of reading and trying options I seem to get no where and cannot even find a definitive answer regarding actually upgrading this phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
There are no nougat ROMs for the n900a.

Safestrap is only good for certain roms and twrp can't be installed on an n900a with a locked bootloader.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulckruger:
Useless phone?

Okay so I wish the whole topic on installing V7 on Note three just started saying if you have an ATT Note 3

READ NO MORE, all hope is lost!

I read numerous posts on numerous sites telling me I can upgrade this phone and none stated up front ( Does not apply to ATT versions ) leaving me to saving a text file full of instructions, links, a folder of downloaded files etc. all aimed at my N900 phone...none of which is valid.

I guess I will just restore to factory and sell in eBay if it is a useless phone other than to put on ATT or T Mobile as a plain old phone full of bloatware.

That or just load my music library on it and bluetooth it to my stereo as a juke box.

Actually I believe I posted this topic under the forum for the phone in question, Note 3? I was inquiring about the actual device not about ATT per-se.

I have not flashed this rom... However, I think this rom should have product sans by default! Does it not have it? What is the clock error btw?

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] I3elphegor:
I wanna buy this awesome phone from eBay and use it in my home country - Czech Republic, but there are still two things I don't know, so I'm holding off.

Can anyone, who owns the USA T-Mobile (1789-04) version, check for me, if it supports LTE band 20 (800 DD)? I scour the internet for the answer and some sites says it does, but some it doesn't.

And a lil' bit stupid question: Is there a chance, it will work locked, if I will use it with Czech Republic T-Mobile sim card?

Thank you all in advance for any answer.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Shiro12:
as far as i can tell the T-MO variant does in fact support band 20, and the spec sheet from t-mo says the same.

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36016
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] I3elphegor:
That's what I thought too, but their normal website (where you can order Moto Z2 Force online) says otherwise (can't post link):

Frequency

LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mineownself:
According to this Network signal guru app, it looks like my T-Mobile version of the Z2 Force supports band 20.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] I3elphegor:
Thanks for the info. I found on Reddit, that it should work like this: T-mobile only lists the ones it's network uses. If it's roaming it will use the other bands, or if you flash unlocked firmware it will be able to use those bands as well.

So according to this, the "other bands" should be listed on every phone's tech specs T-Mobile website.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
I have a an 8+, on CarHDROM v9, working excellently, and I'm using XAA/XAA CSC, which works great with AT&T service. I live on the very edge of tower reception, and am 'just' able to get a cell booster on the roof to pull in some signal, to 3'ish bars on 3G, which seems to work fine for texting, MMS and calling.

Here's the thing: I have my cell Network Mode set to: LTE/3G/2G (Auto). This setting works perfectly in town, after I get over the hills blocking the towers, closer to town. However, at home, the LTE/3G/2G (Auto) does not seem to grab the tower signal well, and will usually show no signal, unless I switch the LTE/3G/2G (Auto) to 3G/2G (auto connect), at which time, while at home, the signal again connects up ok.

What I am wondering is if there is some type of setting or setting file that I can tweak, some place, to get the LTE/3G/2G (Auto) to figure out that the LTE is not connecting up well, and to appropriately switch to 3G (better) when the LTE signal is poor?

Thanks for your help.

I'm kind a sceptical about this. I'm in a Miui device team and if there is any beta or stable to be released, we would be the first to know about it or test it. There is no information on Miui forum for use yet. Could be fake... Just saying though. :)

I just got the Pace today and I am trying to install a Multi-Timer app similar to what I had on pebble.

I found and App called "simple wear timer" but I can't get it running on the watch.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.proyectoipsum.simpleweartimer&hl=en

I have extracted the watch apk from the main apk and used "APK Editor PRO" to change the minSDK version to 7 and remove the hardware type line.

The app installs ok via "APK Installer 3.5" and appears in the app list on the watch, but when I run it I get a "Simple wear timer has stopped" error.

Did I miss a step somewhere? Does this just mean that the app is incompatible? Is there a compatible app that does the same function?

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
LineageOS / 3.4 kernel security vulnerability patch / change

Posting this here, since this is in everyone's interest to reduce attack surface to these kind of attacks to a minimum

Quoting:

https://blog.barkly.com/meltdown-spectre-patches-list-windows-update-help

Following Android's January 2018 security bulletin the following kernel change was rather eye-catching:

Unfortunately (or luckily for us, security by obscurity) - these kind of kernel changes aren't easy to find for quite some time

It turns out the change is the following:

clocksource: arch_timer: make virtual counter access configurable

The changes to be applied are made in the file drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c fortunately at first glance it doesn't exist in 3.4 kernels,

unfortunately "Enable user access to the virtual counter" is still (already) there, namely:

arch/arm/include/asm/arch_timer.h

So:

I ask the kernel devs to try out (read: "port back") that change to the 3.4 kernel for the Note 3 (or well, referencing this - all Android devices running 3.4 based custom kernels)

P.S.:

the following important ashmem fix (preventing memory corruption) also potentially is applicable to the 3.4 kernel source:

staging: android: ashmem: fix a race condition in ASHMEM_SET_SIZE ioctl
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I haven't built a Note 3 kernel since ... ever - so haven't tested that change and if the resulting kernel would boot,

so I can't say if there's any adverse effects when disabling user(space) access to the virtual counter, in any case security should supersede convenience or even functionality

I snooped the LG Bridge link for the USS998, changed my user agent to Google Spider and was able to download it to my PC -- while LG Bridge was still downloading the update for my phone.

However, that link does not work automatically like yours does. When I pasted it back into any browser it now gives me dead connection. I DO have the file and I uploaded it to mirror. Just curious why YOUR LG Bridge link works and mine only worked one time?

Here's the entire link:

http://pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FWD5829D728DAEYA736DNZ7/US99810c_03_1216.kdz&e=1516284041&h=47a8578c8219b2cded92e25464de8098

Very strange.

Maybe I'm not understanding you, but whenever you flash TWRP over stock recovery from bootloader screen, you then have arrow up and to boot to TWRP recovery right then -- and allow changes -- or else TWRP is not successfully installed.

You can use Partiton DL to flash only selected partitions from the official .kdz file you want to flash. Say you have TWRP on /recovery and don't want to get it overwritten when upgrading to 11m so you untick /recovery. Or you only want to flash /system. Sky is the limit.

Is it speculation that it "should" work with recovery unticked or did anyone actually test it and it boots/works normaly with twrp intact?

1. Install LGUP 1.14.3

2. Unzip the patched files in the LGUP folder.

3. You simply launch with LGUP.exe

DELETE UPPEPRCUT FROM YOUR PC AND FORGET ABOUT IT

It is speculation. We got LGUP patched last night and I doubt anyone tested it yet here. You're welcome to be a test bunny :D In the other thread the guys are working with the US models, trying to somehow achieve root on one of the variants that has partially unlocked BL by flashing things from other variants but it looks like in the V30 every variant has firmware signed with diffrent RSA code, unlike the V20 where you could literally "convert" your phone to any variant you wanted.
