[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyTimeTraveler:
Hi,

as the title says, my phone is not booting anymore, after I transplanted the motherboard from a frame with a broken screen into a new frame (from china).

Abbreviations used:

RR => Resurrection Remix 5.8.5

CWM => ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6-kitkat

TWRP => TeamWinRecoveryProject 3.2.1-1

I was using RR from the Rock Stable Setup on it before and it worked beautifully.

What happened:

I performed the mainboard-transplantation according to the iFixit guide

I held the power button to boot the phone:

It vibrated

It showed this screen for a couple of seconds

It vibrated

Back to step 1

And that until I removed power.

Then I tried to boot into recovery mode by holding the key combination on boot:

Same as above, but with this bootscreen

Then I tried to boot into download mode by holding the key combination on boot:

The warning to confirm download mode poped up and I got to see this screen.

I connected it to my PC and opened odin 3.09 and it recognized the device.

I tried to get adb and fastboot to see the device, but nothing worked. (In the old frame and before I broke the screen, it would be recognized at this stage)

I flashed TWRP with odin, odin showed the green "PASS!", but booting to recovery still failed.

I proceeded to flash a stock ROM, which had worked when I had issues with RR.

It worked, I went through the Android 5 setup process, enabled debug and connected adb.

adb saw the phone.

I rebooted to recovery and stock recovery booted correctly.

Sideloading anything with adb failed due to signature verification.

I then went back to download mode and flashed CWM successfully.

It now boots into recovery, but whenever I try to flash anything with CWM, it fails showing this screen

Or something similar (the photo comes from flashing RR 5.8.5)

I have both linux and windows properly setup and used both with adb, fastboot and odin (only windows)/heimdal (only linux).

I checked drivers and usb cables.

I opened the phone back up and checked all connections.

But I can't get any version of RR, CyanogenMod or LineageOS on there.

I've searched the internet, but people that have these kinds of problems after replacing parts of their phones, seem to only have driver issues or skipped steps in the manuals of custom ROM installations.

If you have any idea on what I could try or what I'm doing wrong or not doing, please leave an answer.

I'll keep this post updated below here:

(no updates, yet)

Thanks so much in advance

Simon

Your picture shows stock recovery not CWM .

Try flashing TWRP recovery through Odin .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyTimeTraveler:
I did flash TWRP and afterwards there was no recovery anymore.

When I flash CWM, I get the recovery shown in the photo.

The stock recovery has a black background and no touch controls for me.

What you saw must have been CWM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyTimeTraveler:
Update: I can flash twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar and it works. It's the only image that works, but I still can't boot into or flash any custom OS.

The only working OS I have at the moment is a stock android 5.0, which is not all that useful...

If anyone has an idea, why I can't or how I can find out what is causing it, please say so.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
(: I can flash twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar and it works. It's the only image that works, but I still can't boot into or flash any custom OS. )

What do you mean by ANY ??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyTimeTraveler:
Well, exactly that.

Regardless of what zip I flash, I end up with a bootloop.

If I flash a recovery zip, the recovery bootloops, but the OS still boots.

If I flash a custom ROM, I can still boot into recovery fine, but booting normally results in a bootloop.

The only way to get software onto my phone has been via odin and only an old CWM, Philz Touch, TWRP (Version 2.8.7.0 and below) and STOCK Android (Versions 4.3, 4.4.2, 5).

Anything else I have tried so far did not result in an error, but I couldn't boot into it either.

If you have ideas for software I can try flashing, please tell. I really have no idea how to get the damn thing to work again...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
What happens when you flash correct stock rom via Odin ??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyTimeTraveler:
I mean that I can boot into it after flashing it via Odin.

But its terribly slow and bloated compared to ROMs like ResurectionRemix, so I don't want to use it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
In that case phone is OK .

Usual is that user is failing to follow instructions .

Not sure what you mean by fastboot on a N9005 .sounds like not a N9005 .

Personally with TWRP 2.8.70 i would be flashing something like .

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-magma-nx-rom-t3508672

as its correct TWRP .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyTimeTraveler:
I am able to follow instructions.

Thank you very much.

I followed exactly the same procedure that has worked many times when switching between custom ROMs.

Also, the phone has a perfectly working version of Ressurection Remix installed at the time my frame broke and it did get stuck in the same bootloop after replacing the frame, even thogh the software was exactly the same.

I am looking for help analyzing the boot process and some way of capturing the kernel log when booting to determine where the error occures that traps the phone in a bootloop.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raudahnet:
Dear Mate..

Have you solved your problem? I have same problem after transplating N900 frame. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnyTimeTraveler:
Sorry, I gave up, since I dearly needed a working phone and bought a OnePlus 3 cheaply from ebay second hand. It's been working like a charm and I threw the note into my museum after I softbricked it for the n-th time and couldn't get it out of a bootloop that didn't leave me time to go into Fastboot.

Sorry friend, but I can't help with this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pigpigoink:
after reading a lot of similar threads, seems like the hardware is the cause of us not able to update to higher versions of twrp(& custom roms) 😫

I like how your poll doesn't have yes as an option. Are you that much of a crybaby? It's a private company. You may not like it, but it's not your choice.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BnK1986:
Yeah but no one will buy their product due to the non root capability.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boris dmello:
What do you mean it's not my choice? I have the choice of buying their product or not, and call me whatever you want but the intention of the poll is to show how many people dislike the decision, maybe you can see it for yourself
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] troy5890:
Let's all calm down a bit. This news is unfortunate to hear.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Didn't say you couldn't buy or not buy one of their phones lol. The intention of your poll is to be a **** because you're upset. The fact is only a tiny fraction that buy phones unlock the bootloader and it's simply not cost effective. This is Huawei. The number ONE leader in the world for smartphones and you think a few people are going to sway them? Get over yourself. You sign their ToS when you set up THEIR phone. But hey, if you don't like something I guess instead of being an adult and moving on you should complain like a spoiled brat because you think you're special.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Look man I can guarantee you that removing the ability to unlock the bootloader isn't going to harm Huawei/Honor's business one bit. They may lose about 500-1000 or even 2000 customers but that's nothing compared to their 40+ million customers. They're doing this claiming it is for ensuring that data isn't stolen and the system will continue preforming well. The ordinary Android user will think oh wow they're enhancing security, Huawei is great!

Take Nokia for example. They haven't bothered with enabling bootloader unlocking on several of their models and yet they sell like hotcakes in India.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wagierek:
Huawei still makes one of the cheapest phones compared to their capabilities and there are unofficial (paid, but still cheap) ways to unlock the bootloader. I don't approve their decision, but it won't affect my decision when changing the phone. Not to mention devs will most probably find a way to omit the bootloader lock some way, just like they did with LG's G2, which is one of the most legendary phone on XDA. As long as they're releasing Oreo, I'm okay with this.

BTW - this is one of the most non-informative title of the thread I have ever seen, most forums would ban for such a thing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Huawei doesn't care about what people think. If 50 people on XDA say they're not happy and will never buy Huawei again I guarantee you there are 500 new customers lined up and ready to buy one.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:
Is there anyone here who bough a Huawei device for it's wonderful modding capabilities?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
I definitely don't understand what the xda/honor """partnership""" is about if Huawei prevents bootloader unlocking from now on.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kishorev:
Same here dude..infact I got the Honor 8 early last year thinking that the partnership will bring about a lot opportunities in new Rom development

But frankly disappointed.. don't see any help with the partnership from the outside
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
I think that "partnership" lasted about 1 day.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Check out OnePlus rom development without partnership...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
Does anyone who has this phone, use it on AT&T?

If so, does the VoLTE work? Meaning, when you make a call, does it do HD Calling? When on the call, does your cellular drop from LTE to HSPA?

I had to return my OP5T because it didn't support VoLTE, HD Calling, Wifi Calling, etc... Tried different SIM cards and IEMI's and nothing worked.

I mean, the phone worked, I could make calls and stuff, but it was like stepping back to 2012 where you couldn't do Voice and Data at the same time. The call quality was standard instead of high quality, and you couldn't keep your LTE signal while on a call, so if you were tethering at the time, it was like being on dial up.

Has this been addressed with the OP6, or is this still a limitation?

I have an Essential that I did not purchase through ATT, got it from Amazon Prime on sale for $399, and it supports VoLTE and HD Calling perfectly.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ccic2491:
I'm on AT&T and I'm getting my phone tomorrow, I will let you know.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
That would be awesome. With the 5T, I assumed that because the SIM card came right out of a phone that was provisioned for those things that it would just work, but it didn't. I tried calling customer service and had them try an IMEI from another phone that I owned, my backup phone that I know those services worked with, and it was no good.

Really hoping that the OP6 works with AT&T. Those two missing features are kinda important. If I can't tether my laptop from time to time and use it for work while on the phone... I can just do one or the other... be on the phone, or tether. then its a deal killer for me, which sucks because the OP phones really are amazing...

Oh well, maybe there is a PH-2 soon and that will give me some of the new specs and tech and still do all the things it needs to..

Def keep me posted. If the OP6 works for you I am ordering one the second I get confirmation. haha
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ccic2491:
I'll be honest with you, I'm not very optimistic. I have an unlocked S8 currently and I can't get VoLTE or HD calling. I also have an unlocked Moto X Pure and that has the same problem. I think it's AT&T that requires you have one of their phones to get those services. I'm hoping I'm wrong but my phone is due in tomorrow, I'll let you know.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
To use VOLTE with ATT you normally have to be on their rom as VOLTE.

To experience HD Voice, both calling parties must:

Be within an AT&T HD Voice coverage area.

Both caller and receiver need to use an AT&T HD Voice-capable smartphone.

Have AT&T wireless service provisioned for AT&T HD Voice.

Insert the AT&T HD Voice SIM card that came with your device.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
Makes sense but I have hd calling and VoLTE with my Essential which is not an att phone.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Chris123NT:
I'm gonna say it won't work on ATT, the only bring your own device that works with it on ATT is iPhones, but VoLTE and VoWiFi work on T-Mobile with the OP6
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] cmatg:
With Android 8.1, the Pixel 2 joined a short list of non-ATT-branded phones that work with ATT's VoLTE. I caved and bought the Note 8 in November coming from the Nexus 6P. Only for this to happen. I've been trying to see if the VoLTE is a software improvement in 8.1 or if this is strictly limited to the Pixel. I've not seen anything definitive yet.

https://www.androidcentral.com/pixel-2s-used-att-gain-hd-voice-oreo-81-update
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ccic2491:
Well, I had my Moto X Pure on Verizon and it had VoLTE but when I switched to AT&T that option disappeared. I called them and asked them why that was and after 7 different people from 7 different countries, I was finally told it has to be AT&T phone. I'm sure there is some work around somewhere but we'll have to figure that out. I kind of remember something in the MXP forums about a work around, I'll see if I can find it this weekend.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] apascual89:
I got my OP6. Out of the box Volte does not work. I rooted with Magisk and with a Volte enabler module I have HD voice/Volte working.

The module also adds settings for wifi calling, but that needs more than build prop edits to work.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
So a couple questions...

1) It says HD Calling, but more importantly, when you make a call, your cellular service stays on LTE, and doesn't drop to 3G or HSPA+?

2) How hard was it to root? Have not rooted in years, haven't felt the need, but maybe now that will change.

3) If you root, does that impact your ability to take OTA's and other OnePlus updates? I assume you rooted the stock ROM?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] apascual89:
1.It stays on LTE while on calls

2. I followed the steps listed in this thread and all good. https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-magisk-root-oos-5-1-5-t3794440

3. If you're rooted it will detect it and automatically download althea full update instead of an incremental update. Oneplus is very root friendly
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
Ah, so you just have to re-root each time? And you need root to enable VoLTE? It can't be done without root, at the diagnostic level, where you type in the code to the dialer to get into the hidden settings like some other phones do?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] apascual89:
I tried the Dialer codes, but it wouldn't stick. There might be a way without root, I really didn't spend too much time trying it.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
But easy to root, and root is required to run the VoLTE app? And that app is pretty simple?

Haven't done this stuff in a couple years, I am rusty. haha
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] apascual89:
Yeah easy. The thread I linked has the steps. Basically need an unlocked bootloader and working Fastboot setup. I would recommend reading that thread, or you can wait until twrp is released and that would be a little more straightforward process. Plus you would be able to make a backup in case anything goes wrong.

Either way feel free to reach out if you have issues
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Paz9:
Sorry but if volte works with a people module why wouldn't it work straight out of the box?

Its like enabling something the phone is capable of?

The module is just a build.prop tweak...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] clubtech:
Which dial codes have you tried?

Were you able to enabled it temporarily with those codes (say until the phone reboots)?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] devsx:
Which module did you use?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
I am so torn... OP6with 6gb and 128gb will set me back almost $600... for $719 I can get a Galaxy s9 and Best Buy is throwing in a 128gb microsd card and Samsung wireless charger. Plus it will support VoLTE Out of the box and has a much better camera...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ccic2491:
Which module did you use? I've tried 2 and they both failed.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Nevermind, I figured it out.

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

If you have Magisk installed, go to settings - downloads, then search for VoEnabler - install then reboot. That worked for me.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] espressoguy:
The Best Buy deal this weekend is $300 off either the S9 or S9 Plus. For AT&T customers you need to do AT&T Next, but you can pay it off whenever you want. This makes the S9 - $490 and the S9 Plus $614. Sales tax on the full retail is due at time of sale.

My wife & I jumped on this today. She likes the phone, I hate it. Mine is going back tomorrow. I had forgotten how much bloatware AT&T and Samsung put on their phones. Granted much of it can be disabled, but I'd rather it not be there in the first place.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] antuus:
10 year long att customer until today. I grew tired of the crap from att about which phone I used. Picked up a Walmart mobile SIM and did some thorough testing of TMobiles network. Found it to be sufficient for my needs. Ported my number today. Also dropped my bill by 35%. Happily using volte, hd voice, vowifi on my op6.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] evankayeotis:
Were you able to get wifi calling working on AT&T?

I live in a poor reception area and have to have wifi calling so that I don't miss calls for my business.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] apascual89:
No, I didn't really try either. Don't really use/need it.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
The reality is that the carriers can do whatever they want, and so buying unlocked phones from the manufacturer, will always be hit or miss.

If you buy the unlocked galaxy s 9, it is missing some of the features of the att version...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] thejase:
Me too, but on metro (T-Mobile). 90 bucks a month all in 3 phones unlimited everything. HD voice, vowifi, excellent coverage, full speed. What more can you ask for? T-Mobile is still going crazy with deployment! Came from cricket. This is better service, speed, price.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nkd:
Its not that. People have it working after rooting. OnePlus is blocking it, or they do not want to enable it for some reason. There is no toggle or information under sim info, but it is there for tmobile user. I have had mate 10 pro, and other unlocked phones that worked out of the box with HD voice or VOLTE with AT&T. I am in love with this phone but voice calls are horrible compared to HD Voice. I hate to send this phone back but I am going to have to do it. No point, the call quality difference is just that big.

Its ridiculous to blame AT&T for this when one plus is lacking in support. Other unlocked phones have worked fine for me. OP6 is a giant miss in that area.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

Exactly my point. One PLus is to blame here. Ridiculous, the option works fine for tmobile and not AT&T? while other unlocked phones like mate 10 pro I have used worked fine out of the box? Hard to blame AT&T here. I used the dialer option and there is a toggle for VOlte provisioned but it doesn't stick, it automatically turns off. I have to say One Plus is holding this phone back on AT&T.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
I don't think it is as simply as OP adding the setting. I mean, I guess they can, but in the end, ATT doesn't properly provision a lot of phones that they don't sell, or that are on their BYOD list. I lucked out and the Essential is. I had to return my OP5T because it was not.

Yes, you can root it and do some stuff to get it to work, but that is because ATT is not provisioning it right. By default, it denies it, and the phone is simply "responding" by accepting whatever the carrier is doing. Rooting and mods can perhaps ignore and override that, but the problem still originates with the fact that ATT doesn't want the phone on VoLTE, while Tmobile obviously doesn't care...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ccic2491:
Thank you!! I was going to say that I have the volte hack on this OP6 and it still doesn't work. It's AT&T that's the problem, not the phone. Again, I had a Moto X Pure on Verizon with volte but when I switched to AT&T that option was gone.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Have VoLTE working with the VoEnabler magisk module. It did not work at first, but I called AT&T and gave them my old At&T s8 IMEI. Works perfectly.

Obviously not ideal as AT&T is not provisioning the phone correctly (shows I'm using an s8 on at&ts webpage) but it does work.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
This won't last. At&t verifies those imei #s periodically.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Don't doubt it, though I had it going for several months on a 5T without issue.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
VOLTE and HD calling is not supported on ATT prepaid.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] YandereSan:
Yeah, don't even bother. They treat IMS as a carrier service. If you want HD voice, you have to buy an AT&T phone and convince your buddies to switch to AT&T.

Pigs will fly on the day they support a global configuration.
