Sprint update - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just read that T mobile is pushing out an update. Any word on sprints first update. Since im rooted I will not be able to take it. So we will have to wait for a dev to make it flashable. Is this correct? Or is there a way to still get it when sprint pushes one?
AS FOR ME.....GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH

We will have to wait on a dev . Generally it's always fairly quick.

Use Xposed to make your device 'Official' and make sure software update isnt frozen.

....

Ok just installed xposed. Where do I find the setting to do this. Thanks for your help

Also can I be on a custom rom. Or do I need to be stock rooted. Thanks again

Im on stock rooted. Go to download and install Wanam Xposed Module.
Naturally itll be in the last category, Security Hacks.
You're gonna wanna edit the build.prop to get rid of the light lag.
Near the bottom
>ro.securestorage.support=true< change to false

I'm kind of in the same position
So I have to flash the update in odin whenever it's available?

Ok I got it to work on bonsei rom. Not sure of taking an update on Bonsei. Any input? When an update does roll out, Im assuming I need to be stock. Love to hear from the devs if taking an update on bonsei is possible.

If an update does rollout. I'm pretty sure Bonsei will get updated to the latest update.

Silly me I thought Sprint finally updated our devices so we can extend our battery life and whatever else t-mobile got. But yes you can use the mod to spoof offical or just wait for a rom to include it or just odin back to stock and reroot once it arrives

That's correct, once I see an official TAR the Stockish Bonsai ROM will be updated.

If you use xposed it does not matter if you use a custom recovery the Dev will include it eventually. You could go the stock route also just backup your things

[Q] Jelly Bean Official Update and root

So I rooted/unlocked bootloader etc..., but dragged my feet on installing custom ROM's. So i see that Rogers One X is getting an official Jelly Bean update. I am on AT&T so I would assume that the AT&T update is coming soon. Do I need to unroot so I don't risk bricking my phone or will the OTA update work anyway?

yeah man, you need to unroot, get back stock recovery and relock bootloader then use the correct RUU,.
it sounds like alot to do but it really is just a few fastboot commants and letting the RUU run its course, there is many guides but i think you are in the wrong forum, do you have the international one X or the dual core version?
if you have the dual core version then the correct guide for you will be here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Can you point me to a guide for this for the international HOX? I'm running into an issue with the last part, it fails when trying to update. Thanks!
Thanks for that info and yep in the wrong forum. Didn't realize the forums were specific to carrier. :0

[OTA Update] Touchwiz 4.3 T-Mobile NOW available! MJC.

So my mother's non-rooted stock UVDMD5 S3 was sitting there and mobile background said update checker used 3 kb, so I checked the update checker and a 527.00 MB file started downloading. Just a heads up, is it the new download?
Edit 1 : Confirmed, this is Android 4.3 official.

Confirmed. Kernel version 3.0.31-1962493, Produced October 31.

Edit 2 : @DocHoliday77 has confirmed this actual OTA is ONLY for the SGH-T999..if you don't have one (you won't get the OTA) but DO NOT FLASH OR ATTEMPT TO FLASH ANY ODIN FILES!
Edit 3 : This has KNOX. Proceed at caution.
Edit 4 : have you ever been to jail? No? Me either. But if I had to picture it this update is much like it. Still to Docs leak thread or AOSP but don't touch this with a fine toothcomb if you want to root and later downgrade.

One way to find out, I suppose. I'm not currently rooted, the phone's bone-stock. Saw the download and immediately came here to see what was going on. Under 30 megs remaining.
check samfirmware...theres an update with over 800 mb
I guess that's a confirmation. Any issues? The AT&T version was riddled with problems.
Edit- Confirmed. Kernel version 3.0.31-1962493, Produced October 31.
According to Kies the update is MJC so its probably the same or similar to leak version DOC post .

seriously though, this is awesome! im bout to download in a min. will then upload to AFH so you guys dont have to wait on that blazing fast Hotfile!

Ok, something important to be aware of. From piecing information together from users around these and other forums, it appears just about everyone who had problems with the 4.3 update had updated via OTA. So if you choose to update this way, please let us know how things go. But if you do experience problems, DONT PANIC, Grab Your Towel, and start downloading the Odin flashable full firmware update.
This of course will include the T-Mobile kernel. I am 90% certain that the reason WiFi did not work with the leaked kernel is because we did not flash the full firmware update. I believe the WiFi modules needed to be built into the bootloader (likely the aboot partition to be exact). This is what I was attempting to confirm when I bricked my phone. So by flashing the full firmware/OTA update, you should have a fully working build, including WiFi if I am correct.
Aside from this, I would suggest reading through some of my posts in the leaked Rom threads. This is the same build that was leaked to us a week or so ago. Do let me know how things are going, I wish I could join you guys in the discovery phase of this "official" version, but I seriously doubt that other than the kernel working, and Knox likely being left out, it will be any different from what we have been using.
I do not see any reason you should not be able to root, but I will get an insecure kernel posted asap. As soon as my download finishes. In the meantime, if anyone wants the insecure kernel from the leaked build, it should be exactly the same one. Download here:
UVUEMJC_Insecure_kernel.zip
Hope everything goes well, and I am still here to help!

a root66 version will be coming soon. These have always been released within a day of us getting a new official release. Please be patient though, as I don't think mrRobinson has the S3 anymore. I will send him the download link as soon as I have it posted on my AFH account.
If he cannot get to it, i will do my best to get you guys a root66 build asap. But again, please be patient.
---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------
You know, I have to be honest....I was hoping to be wrong about the latest leak becoming our official build! Was hoping they would update one more test build first, then we would have had another kernel/modem/build......oh well! I must say that I am quite surprised they went through with our release so quickly!
Someone must be watching us......
Thanks Doc, I'm in no rush.
Thanks for all your help, great appreciated.

oh, one more thing. if updating via ota, try Voodoo OTA Roitkeeper from the store. its worked in the past to preserve root.
and can someone pull the ota before applying it, and upload it for me please?
look in /data/fota, /data/temp, /cache/fota
its there somewhere, just cant remember for certain.

No that's why I'm warning people...any variant that takes the official lollipop update may never have a way of going back or getting on a custom ROM again...with the g3 official lollipop update...anyone that took it...is stuck on stock with no return as far as I know...I wouldn't be so happy about this official update guys...its also a shame some user warded of the few developers who could even get close to bypassing it possible...a user that released something he shouldn't have

Vandietuts VDT-V26 Super Lite Lollipop has root.
Thanks for the warning, Rev, but we really have to wait and see. If the lollipop update makes the phone more locked than an iPhone, LG has shot themselves in the foot since they don't serve the developers community. Quite frankly if everything seems to be locked, I hope that LG provides a way to unlock the bootloader.

Hmm, decision time. A root for the current setup does seem like it's within reach...
Turns out this should probably be merged with the general lollipop thread though, because others are posting their updates there.
Well cool nice to kno we got the update... but I'm waiting... seems we r close to root on 4.4.4 plus b4 I update I want to kno if we r able to downgrade back down to 4.4.4 with Odin if we wanted ? And also I would like to kno the issues?

Extreme Syndicate ROM Discussion Thread

Hey Everyone!
I am at it again! I have made leaps today with my custom ROM.
It is not ready for release just yet but wanted to get a thread started for when it is ready, to get some opinions and further clarification.
Required:
1) Any G930 US Variant
2) Must be on the G930U PEH firmware prior to my ROM
3) Rooted with Flashfire
4) I highly recommend you know how to push apks. It will start out lightly debloated but will be extremely debloated by the time I finish!
What will it contain in v1?
1) Pre rooted
2) Debloated
3) Xposed
4) V4A
5) Might be missing stuff for v1, wait and see!
Suggestions?
Please post early suggestions below. They might not be considered for build 1 but will all beconsidered as we go.
Questions?
1) Maybe someone can chime in but to my knowledge the U firmware will work on any US variant S7? I am asking for clarification since my reasoning of using the U firmware is for it to be useable on all US variants to avoid having to develop for every variant separately (I dont have time for this.)

4) I highly recommend you know how to push apks. It will start out lightly debloated but will be extremely debloated by the time I finish!
What will it contain in v1?
1) Pre rooted
2) Debloated
3) Xposed
4) V4A
5) Might be missing stuff for v1, wait and see!
Suggestions?
Please post early suggestions below. They might not be considered for build 1 but will all beconsidered as we go.
Questions?
1) Maybe someone can chime in but to my knowledge the U firmware will work on any US variant S7? I am asking for clarification since my reasoning of using the U firmware is for it to be useable on all US variants to avoid having to develop for every variant separately (I dont have time for this.)

1. Will you provide links to or host a copy of the G930U PEH firmware?
2. I suppose that since this is the universal firmware, Verizon's Mobile Hotspot provisioning will not prevent us from using Native Mobile Hotspotting....can you confirm...and if not, can you apply a a modded version of the Mobile Hotspot software that bypasses the provisioning (similar to what psouza has done with his VZW debloat script for PE1)

1) I am going to use a rom.zip but you will still need the eng boot to have root i believe so odin 930U then root usig eng boot then flash my ROzm in FF
2) his rom is in the vzw s7e forum
Is the goal here to remedy the battery life issues and CPU hangs that the eng boot/root process created? I'm excited!

The zips provided by psouza are for the PE1 build only. He mentioned somewhere in his thread that it has to be compiled for each build.

I recommend you check out my other rom threads to see what the goal is..
essentially I shoot for an extremely debloated rom which typically does include better speed and battery life but that is more of a side effect imo

Not necessarily. some of it does work.. ideally however i like to bake things in.. the less zips to flash the better.. i wont worry too much as i dont release roms that dont work well to begin with

The fix/fix+debloat zip that disable Verizon's Wi-Fi hotspot tethering provisioning does so by writing a modified framework-res.apk to the device, therefor it needs to match the firmware version. The patch is not complicated though (it's literally just changing/clearing two XML values), so anyone could decompile a different version, patch the xml, recompile, re-sign, and bundle that for any Verizon firmware version.

Gotcha.. its not my top priority to be honest but its not difficult to do so ill most likely do it
I can confirm the U firmware works flawlessly on a G930V. I have also flashed @jrkruse's PlayStore ROM on my G930V, and it works great!
@elliwigy, I have used your ROMs in the past. Needless to say, I'm excited to see you are making one for the Verizon S7!

When does the FC happen exactly? I've had this issue when modifying ROMs, so I might be able to help.
