I was wondering if you guys that live in 4g/lte areas get 4g or LTE while on phone calls?
On my LG g3 I did no problem. But on this tmo note 3 it drops to H
I made sure my APN settings were correct. Anything in missing
I do . you also have to be in a market where volte is available.
Plus you have to be on nf1 .

Well I'm definitely in a Volte area (NYC) but I'm still on NB4 running slimkat 4.4.4
is there a way to upgrade to that and keep my root & recovery?

Slim can't do VoLTE, no AOSP I'm aware of can. You need NF1, stock. Note that you must update the modem and probably the bootloader as well. You can mod it, like Tweaked or the various other custom ROMs. And/Or Xposed. But you have to be on a TMO firmware to use VoLTE. Just how it is. And NYC should be fully VoLTE enabled as they are an official site.
I am in an unofficial area (Salt Lake) and it works fine on Tweaked. I don't really care about it, as I rarely talk on the phone, but I can see how people would like it. The big win as far as I'm concerned is that it opens up the possibility to re-purpose more spectrum for wideband LTE.
As for root/recovery, that's easy. You don't keep them with the Odin flash, but just boot back to download mode and flash TWRP from Odin and CF-AutoRoot from Odin or a custom ROM from TWRP. There's root. Now restore your apps via Titanium or Play Store, and you're done.

Damn, I thought you were gonna say that regarding aosp no Volte.
I was looking at either Tweaked or Darkstalker as far as TW based roms go.
I was browsing the Effortless thread about the NF1 odin update. Will that update both bootloader AND modem?

Yes, the full NF1 Odin flash will update everything. Then you can install TWRP and whatever ROM you want. I'd try them both, I prefer Tweaked, but Darkstalker is very good as well.

Tweaked has most of the bloat, but it's easy to remove and the installer lets you remove a bunch of it as well. Not sure about dark themes.

Thanks. I'll tell you though.. I'm confused as hell with the Tweaked thread. The OP is 10 Posts with so much info and bold red font I'm losing my mind trying to wrap my head around it.
I'm trying to flash the rom and maybe get the AOSP theme on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2676315
The short version is to flash the setup file, which you use to set your options, then the main file.
As for themes, make sure they are made for Tweaked, or you will break things. That's the case with most custom ROMs. That theme looks to be made for bare stock NF1.

No such ROM exists, as the Sprint GS3 has only gotten updates up to 4.1.2 (and without the Premium Suite). The International GS3 has also only gotten updates to 4.1.2, but it did include the Premium Suite. A lot of developers around these parts were able to create mods for various features of the Premium Suite, but the "official" stock Rom has not gotten them (obviously).
Here is a link to the latest Stock Rom (rooted) from Freeza. It is flashable in Custom Recoveries. I don't have the link to the Odin flashable stock 4.1.2, but I'm sure CNexus will be by shortly with the answer.

If you want to return to 100% stock (no root, stock recovery, etc.) you can follow qbking's tutorial on his website. He also has the links to the "official" Odin files. I think, though, that they only go up to LJ7, so you'd have to run the OTAs in order to have the most updated "stock" experience.
If you have a custom recovery installed and want to go back to unrooted, stock MB1, you can also check out this billard412's thread on the matter. He has recovery-flashable files that will return you to 100% stock. Just be sure to read all of the instructions before you flash anything.
I have a quick question, though... Why are you so insistent on using Odin? Did you keep the stock recovery? And if you did, I'd like to hear your reasoning behind it. I'm quite intrigued by those who root but don't want the custom recoveries.

The answer is simple, even with custom recovery I always had problems with installing custom recovery roms and never had issues with Odin roms. It is just me I guess.
So I used stock ROMs from the link above and flashed them with CWM, I had to patch them a bit since I removed some system apps and it would not flash without patching the update_script.
Funny thing, the android version and build version didn't change but kernel and baseband versions changed as expected.
Since I've observed both MA6 and MB1 updates going through and (for MA6) even updating apps, I assume not only kernel and baseband got updated but for some reason that part of system info didn't change.
That info is stored in the /system/build.prop file. Check the contents with a root explorer, could be a bad download

On the phone that file indicates old android and build versions.
How do I view the build.prop.p file that is in the update itself?

If you mean the one that is on sdcard that I used for flashing then that one has only /patch/system/build.prop.p which is a binary patch I assume and the /system of the zip has only CSCVersion.txt and then a bunch of subdirectories.
Ok then, at this point it doesn't really matter. Did you want to stay on plain stock rooted or flash a custom rom? Flash your custom rom now, or stay on stock rooted and edit all instances of the build number to show "MB1" instead of what its showing right now
Maybe you could attach the portion of the correct build.prop MB1? That would make my life a bit easier thanks!

What? I am using my OG Evo 4G? My S3 must be dead... Good thing I love CM7!
my head is about to explode going through all these 4.1.2 to 4.3 upgrade posts. i got my hands on another note 2 (my other note 2 is tripped), so i have the opportunity to start fresh again.
Which flashing method via pc odin will get me from stock 4.1.2 to 4.3 without tripping knox 0x1 and without having to flash other kernels to make things work?
ALL I WANT is to get to 4.3 with root to debloat / working wifi , and the ability to update or revert back to stock in the future WITHOUT tripping knox counter 0x1.
Is there such a thing? To be honest Mr. Robinsons thread is the only one i've gone through all the post's, but even then i see conflicting posts about knox being tripped from those with bootloop and freeze problems during mr robinson flashes.
please help a confused brother.
Dont update to 4.3 is what I did.
Im running Ditto Note 3 Rom.. Its an N7105 Rom with Note3 Features.
Flashed Devil Kernel 2.3.2 to get wifi working.
Then flashed the T889 MK7 Modem to get the new radio.
Runs solid. Just keep an eye on your Ram usage.
This is WITHOUT upgrading Officially to 4.3.
thanks, You are still on 4.1.2 bootloader? dn3 has no issues with t889? and how do you compare the ram usage to stock 4.1.2?

More specifically, don't update your bootloader. Your current 4.1.2 bootloader will work perfectly well for 4.3 roms but you won't inherit knox and, as mentioned above, you'll either need to flash wifi patch or the devil kernel to get wifi to work.
What I did, with no problems:
1. Take note of all apps
2. Make backup of efs and data on internal/external storage
3. Cleaned up storage in the device.
3. Format sd card
4. Clean flash of 4.3 rom
5. Flash modem
6. Flash devil kernel
7. Boot into rom and download apps from play store (No tb restore).
thanks, are you on dn3 as well?

No but the process for all 4.3 roms should be the same if coming from 4.1.2. One thing I forgot to mention is to update the modem. Some have reported a more seamless transition using new modem.

the main thing you have to worry about is cleaning up root and triangle away your binary if you have counts. I don't think t-mobile are warranty nazi's YET when it comes to knox trips. i know it will eventually change though.
flash back to 4.3.. you can get the stock rom at sammobile. it will look funny to tmobile if you are at 4.1.2 with a 4.3 bootloader.

As long as you don't update via OTA, Odin or Kies then you should be ok. Just root, install a recovery and flash a rom, modem and kernel......and maybe Superuser (depending on the Rom)
New to this phone and I am running 4.1.2 there is a system update a 4.3 that's already downloaded and ready to install but I wanted to make sure the update didn't install any new locks on my phone before I accept. I plan on rooting soon.
Thanks

I'm wondering the same thing. But if we root then accept the OTA won't that enable the knox counter? So that if we now, "flash away".... won't every flash be counted?
Shouldn't we root, then install the custom roms without the knox? Or do the custom roms also include the knox counter tripping mechanism?
I would like to know how this works also.
Thanks.
I just recently came from 4.1.2 rooted running a deoxided stock rom. I didn't do the OTA update to 4.3. I used the TeamRejects Deoxidexed rooted deknoxed stock rom, the updated MK4 modem, and the WiFi fix. It took about 15-20 minutes to get everything done. I needed to download Odin too for WiFi fix. I didn't run the WiFi fix till I knew there was an issue.
Not much of complaint, but I wish there was a kernel like Perseus for TouchWix based roms. The only one I found was Devil Kernel, but for whatever reason, wasn't stable with TeamReject's ROM. I didn't really care for his custom Kernel ajdustment manager and STweaks didn't work with it at all. Ideally, I prefer a stock rooted deknoxed deoxidized bare bones rom (just phone, contacts, google play) so I have a working phone and can access Google Play so I can install the apps I prefer. The closest I found was Classic Rom but it freezes on initial rom load; Plus, I'm not a fan of the colors and the few things he choose to include.
Stock 4.3 Deodexed, deknoxed, Rooted Rom Available?

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I have been busy with work, and family things.Use billards return to full stock with counter reset. It installs everything including recovery, boot loader,firemware etc... Then set up your phone, when prompt accept the ota update.. Once done retoot, and flash what ever 4.3 rom you want.. The knox counter will still be there, but if you need a trip back to Sprint, go back to Full MC2 stock, knox counter will no longer be there.. Most 4.3 room do not include the Knox files so no worries there.

Sounds like it. The odd part, I have been able to flash Reject's stock deoxidezed deknoxed rom with no problem. I tried to flash Classic 3, but it froze on Classic's initial loading page (the one after the Samsung boot loader). I had issues another rom, but turned out it was for the international model; I wasn't paying attention where I was in the forums.
If you do what I did, you'll need to flash modem update using Odin on the PC. So, you may need to download Odin.

Depending on what you like to do, you may find 4.3 MK4 more limiting, espcially on the TouchWiz side. AOSP probably more mod friendly at this point. From what I've been able to find, there is only one custom kernal for 4.3 TouchWiz which is Devil's Kernal. It's solid, but my phone was unstable. Not sure if the phone since I may have taken out something it used when I was trying to debloat the phone. Didn't care for his Kernel Tweak manager. Neither the stock or devil's kernal supports Stweaks. Neither I could figure out how to change the boat loading animation.
I have nothing against AOSP projects. I like them. But as far as I know, none support the Spen, which I like to use with web browsers. Don't use the Samnsung Spen apps. Just wasn't that impressed with them, but I see how they can be useful. Although, SketchPro is really nice with it. I just find TouchWiz is more than sufficient for my needs and stock isn't as quirky.
So, I have a NB4 SM N900T. I rooted with cfautoroot, then installed Phillz Touch CWM, then made a full backup. After I rooted and installed a custom recovery, I was getting that recovery not SEANDROID enforcing/Kernel Warranty error on Boot. I then flashed Hyperdrive and used it for a few weeks. Today I wiped everything, and restored that nandroid backup to bring it back to stock NB4 because I cannot seem to get LTE to work to save my life.
Anyhow, now I see that NF4 is out.
With stock NB4, I'm no longer getting that error. It's still rooted, etc after the backup was restored.
What I would like to know is what would be the best way for me to get the NF4 update without messing up my root/Knox?
I can use ODIN, but if someone could just be a little more specific that would be great.
I downloaded N900TUVUDNF4_N900TTMBDNF4_N900TUVUDNF4_HOME.tar.md5
and Cfautoroot from another thread...
I think I'm going to stay with the stock ROM until I figure out this LTE issue... I am on Straight Talk AT&T (Using Hyperdrive ROM) and get plain 4G and someone with the same phone- stock NB4 and ATT go service standing 2 feet away gets 4Glte. 15mbs+ speeds, while I'm under 5mbs.
Sorry, kinda all over the place here...
Anyhow, thanks for any help everyone.
re: Knox
Ed Murray said:
So, I have a NB4 SM N900T. I rooted with cfautoroot, then installed Phillz Touch CWM, then made a full backup. After I rooted and installed a custom recovery, I was getting that recovery not SEANDROID enforcing/Kernel Warranty error on Boot. I then flashed Hyperdrive and used it for a few weeks. Today I wiped everything, and restored that nandroid backup to bring it back to stock NB4 because I cannot seem to get LTE to work to save my life.
Anyhow, now I see that NF4 is out.
With stock NB4, I'm no longer getting that error. It's still rooted, etc after the backup was restored.
What I would like to know is what would be the best way for me to get the NF4 update without messing up my root/Knox?
I can use ODIN, but if someone could just be a little more specific that would be great.

If you have installed any custom recovery like cwm/twrp you have
already tripped knox and there is no way to fix it so you may as well
simply flash whatever firmware and or custom rom you like.
Flashing/installing any custom recovery trips knox.
Good luck!
Fixed LTE issues. Threw away Straight Talk, Picked up AT&T.
Ok, so I'm considering staying on Stock ROM but my NB4 (RAC Build) N900T has no OTA update from Samsung...
So, am I able to just flash straight from NB4 to NF4? Will I lose root?

Yes you will loose root however if you simply flash cf-autoroot after
flashing the official N900T NF4 firmware you will have root again.
Here is the direct download link for the official N900T NF4 firmware:

You're welcome for the firmware link.
I asked you nicely in pm to link to my thread instead of stealing my links, but since you ignored that, be prepared to have me comment on your posts where you try to pass them off as your own, or at least fail to attribute.
I appreciate that you want to help others, but please attribute links and/our abide by the posters requests when they ask you.
Thanks

Can I use Mobile Odin to do this?

You can, but just be aware that Mobile Odin cannot flash bootloaders, so if you're just looking to go straight up, you can either follow the directions in post #2 of this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...900tuvudnf4-extracted-stock-firmware-t2834398 or use desktop odin.
If you want to do it all in one shot, desktop odin is your best bet. Just power your device down for about 15-30 seconds (or power off using power menu and battery pull for a bout 10 seconds), then boot straight into download mode (this helps ensure the modem and bootloader stick), and flash the full package in the AP (or PDA) slot of desktop odin.

Alright, thanks for the help. I'm out of "thanks" for the day, but will click the crap outta it tomorrow. Much appreciated.
I am currently running an OG5 based ROM, with the OB7 bootloader.
I had been keeping the OB7 bootloader, instead of upgrading to OE1/OF5, because it allowed me to go back to Kit Kat NK2, after evaluating the initial lollipop release.
Now that OG5 is out, I am pretty happy and can't imagine going back to KK.
So I've been trying to get Android Pay to allow me store a credit card and no fix has worked. I am thinking that it might be because my rom and bootloader don't match up (OB7 & OG5)?
I was going to give it a shot, but now wondering if there is any reason to keep OB7 bootloader, other than having the option to downgrade?
If I decide to go all OG5 (ROM and bootloader) is there any easier way than starting with the OTA?
Thanks,
Also curious about this. If you get it working please share what steps you took. To be honest, all I'd like to do in Android Pay would be to set up the loyalty cards.... seems as though you can input any until you've verified at least 1 credit or debit card
Also... any chance its possible to set up a card on Android Pay from another unrooted device then use as normal from your rooted phone once a card is added to your account? I don't have a secondary device to try

Do you also have the OB7/OG5 combo?
I wonder if anyone with OG5/OG5 has had any luck. from what I've read plenty of people with unlocked bootloaders have been successful.
FYI there is an app called Keyring that does a decent job with loyalty cards.
Yep. I have the same combo. Running Saintz OBAR
A lot of variables are at play here. Most root users of any device are hitting roadblocks when it comes to getting AP to load their cards. In my instance I am on OG5/OG5 running HybridX 3. I've explored nearly all of the 'fixes' out there short of flashing the stock build.prop. Some reports are saying it is checking against known good OS (ie: CM12 stable vs. CM12 nightly). Others are saying it is checking directory level instances of root (ex: system/bin/su or system/xbin/su). Still more are just unlucky and are hitting the wall for no explained reason (there is a reason I'm sure, the info provided isn't helping). What it is going to boil down to is some smart cookie is going to unlock the secret, and we're going to say 'you've got to be kidding, that was too easy'.
With Android Pay, it will block root users and I haven't found a way that gets around it on the Note 4, even with Root Cloak and No Device Check to mask root and custom ROM's to get it to work.
From what I saw, Android Pay does have SafetyNet built in to it to check if your device and your firmware match up. I ran into the same issue with running the OB7 bootloader and CM12.1 ROM which doesn't work. I'm assuming you are having a similar as me issue with using the 0B7 bootloader and a 0G5 ROM. Unfortunately, you will probably have to unroot and go back to stock to get it to work since none of the workarounds I've tried hasn't worked.

I use beep and go, works with older infrared barcode scanners
I'm currently on 5.01 and OB7. I was able to get Android Pay to let me add a card by going into the settings menu in SuperSU and disabling Superuser. I entered the card info and Android Pay was set up. I used it at Toys R Us today and works perfect. I re-enabled Superuser in SuperSU and was able to still use Android Pay.
I have the same question as OP. What are the benefits of staying on OB7? I am getting ready to update to 5.1.1 using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...g-to-5-1-1-t3199881/post62794303#post62794303
Do I need to stay on OB7 to install custom roms? Can I install custom roms with OG5? I would like to eventually install a stockish rom that has Knox and Itson removed, along with all the bloatware.
Thanks!
Quick answer is OB7 allows you to go back to KK OG5 will not

Quick answer is yes but you'd be limited to OG5 ROMs if you flashed the stock OG5 tar. You may also get Noterized, sacs and CM12 custom ROMs. Your backups would be void.
If you instead chose to keep the OB7 bootloader, you could flash the OB7 to OG5 tar ball by tx_dbs_tx and still be be able to Odin the older tars to use the ROMs or backups you have now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62274955&postcount=1
There are some S6 ROM ports (not quite stable as stock) but it looks like there's a possible banding of developers to get the Note 5 ported to OG5. What's stable at the moment are the stock Note 4 ROMs with a few mods. tx_dbs_tx Hybrid X or stock OG5 ROMs have been getting props by users; use that if you're not into running stock rooted Odex.
I'm actually running stock Odex from the tar ball flash linked above, just Odin'd TWRP and rooted with Beastmode kernel and SuperSU zip in recovery, debloated and modified it.
Edit: The OG5 custom ROMs are pre-rooted. You'd only need to Odin TWRP and follow OP install instructions to install. I'd recommend the Beastmode kernel though. Some say adjust the volume level in Synapse but I do it with Viper4Android and leave the Dolby Atmos volume leveler enabled. It pumps the bass without volume too high or too low.

Safetynet has to verify the Rom is original to the phone. If you're not using stock Android Pay will throw that message

SafetyNet is just 1 part of the puzzle. If it was the only thing then the Xposed module 'No Device Check' would be enough to bypass. There are multiple checks taking place.

You can run any rom under OG5 if you took full OG5 update, Ive been running all sorts of ROMs that are not OG5 and they work just fine, flash everything as normal just flash beast mode kernal or emotion kernel or AEL kernel, after flashing ROM...any exploited OG5 kernel will work.

I recall reading that but couldn't recall the steps. Makes sense. Thanks.
Edit: I wouldn't recommend Odin any tar. I believe you still cannot go backwards regarding Odin. The OG5 bootloader won't allow downgrade flash.

So your saying unless you are running stock rom and no root there is no way to get android pay to work

In short yes. Long version is that the unit needs to be on a stock ROM with root hidden. Many users are able to get AP to work when they hide root on setup using Root Cloak and/or turning off SU. Some others have not had success doing this also. AP is checking multiple things along with root, kernel changes, Xposed installation, and other things. Safety net is only one check. Those of us that are rooted using custom ROMs with other changes are going to have to wait until a smart Dev can crack the mystery.
