[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] alebal:
----- just a vent ------

And what do you think I've been doing in the last few days? I did nothing else ... hours and hours spent in google and in this forum trying to understand what is wrong and what they did 15 years ago to solve various problems, finding and reading hundreds and hundreds of pages where someone replied: " find it yourself, do a google search, look for it in the forum, we have already said it, we have already talked about it, there are many threads, etc, etc, etc "really useless and annoying answers.

And when you find something all the links are dead, there are no clear instructions to use the solutions and everything you find is too old and no longer works.

If I ask something in the forum and reopen a thread after 15 years, it is because I have already done all the research I could and I have not found anything.

If I ask: is anyone using it? What versions are you using? it is to understand what works in 2020 and what I need to look for.

So please don't give me silly and useless answers, if you don't feel like helping, no one forces you to answer.

However, aside from the outburst I would like to continue this discussion.

What I did these days was:

restore the last original rom again, which I thought also updated modem and bootloader, but maybe not, can anyone confirm or deny?

I searched (almost freaked out) for an old thread with a couple of links still working to update modems and bootloaders, and found this: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/general/bootloader -modem-t3390176, without instructions, intuitively I put them in the bl and cp fields of odin and flashed.

Something seems to have changed, now for about 95% of the time I seem to have a minimum of telephone signal, a small, very small bar, but better than before in which 95% of the time I had no telephone signal.

But I have no idea how up-to-date these files are, probably better bootloaders and modems exist, but I have not found them, what I have found are an endless myriad of dead links, including one to a table with the list of updates, dead even that.

In a reddit discussion I found a reference to this: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LP5aEdjaoYJ1uRLOLSgLYjE_BDd8Wdb1

The title looks promising and the latest update seems to be from June 5th 2020, but it's not the usual file format I've used so far in odin, inside the tar file there are all the files I've already seen, but I don't have idea how to use them ...

If anyone knows how to use them and wants to explain it to me, thank you.

If anyone knows working links to more up-to-date and still working modems and bootloaders in 2020, please share them.

Then I also tried to solve the gps problem, first of all I opened the phone and cleaned the electrical contacts as shown in many tutorials and videos on youtube, nothing changed.

Then I looked for software solutions, like this one: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/help/n9005-gps-fix-flashing-stock-s5-port-rom-t2827427, nothing to do, i found many references to gps.conf, but only dead links and apps no longer existing or working, so the gps still not work.

New doubts, will the gps problem also be connected to not updated enough modems and bootloaders?

And also the problem with twrp i can install only 2.8 version on my note, or a version 3.1 specially modified for htle.

I know too that twrp can be found on twrp.me, but if you had looked at a couple of posts further you would have seen what the problem is, and the links to the whole story and everything I have done with twrp on this phone.

However, will the inability to install the latest version of twrp be related to modem and bootloader?

I found this: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-1-t3746760

a whole discussion on how to install twrp on note 3, in which there is also a modem and bootloader entry, which once again sends to those beautiful updated files with no instructions, explanations or references, and I don't know how to flash them/install them... so can someone explain it to me? Please.

Please help, at the moment I have a phone with little phone signal, no gps, no twrp, and the original samsung stock rom with an app for expo2015 inside ...
