Been wanting to play around with Marshmallow and saw that we can finally get it on the S3. Followed everything to a T in the OP. Using TRWP, [i am now,] running L710VPUDNJ2 Touchwiz on my S3 on it now since I was rocking CM11 on some out of date firmware version (MD4 I think) and yet it just fails. Do you guys have any ideas? Do I need to flash CM12.1 first for some reason?
Here's a link for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-d2spr-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3248561?nocache=1
I also would be posting these questions on the thread itself but I guess I don't have enough posts to do so.
Edit: I figured out my problem, I ended up having to install CM12.1 and then go to CM13. Which I find strange since I've never had something like that happen before but I wanted to put that note out there.

Hi all,
I'm still having issues getting my AT&T Note to update from 4.1 to 4.4. I'd previously had it unlocked and rooted, but even after undoing that all, it fails on update. A few kind helpers on here gave some tricks to try out based around where it might be failing in the process (ie which specific file was causing the problem) but that hasn't worked either. I haven't looked into it for well over a month, so I thought I'd check back in.
Any hope for a ROM that can just be applied using odin?
Thanks!
hope you find one, if true please let know
It's been a while since I flashed a rom. I thought I would play around with some ROM's today, but I'm getting overwhelmed by the contradictory information out there, regarding bootloaders,wifi patches, kernel flashes etc. Not that it's misinformation, but I just don't know if it's implied that the bootloader on the install instructions have been updated to 4.1.2 or higher before moving forward with flash.
I'm on a rooted T-mo/T889 Galaxy Note 2 with stock 4.1.1 and UVALL4. I flashed TWRP on it a few months ago, when I was looking into installing DN3 rom.
It seems to me that the instructions for installing DN4 (which is what I'm looking at today) might assume my device is updated to latest firmware.
So I'm wondering where to start. Do I need to update bootloader, or can I just move forward with electronteam's install instructions flash DN4 with addon patch? Or even more broader terms, can I flash a 4.4.4 + rom from a 4.1.1 firmware?

You're good to go with DN4... just flash Dn4 and addon. The only thing is, Dn4 has issues with GPS. So, if you need/use this often, you may want to stick with DN3. Oh yeah, update your TWRP to newest (2.8.5.0) since it's been a few months since you installed it. And after you get it set up, update to the newest Agni kernel... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602053
Thanks.
I went ahead with DN4, and sure enough, I have no GPS.
A more troubling issue I'm having is that my data/phone signal just randomly gone. I live in a city with LTE , and have no coverage issues here. Sometimes a restart will remedy it, but only for a short while. I'm going to flash this Latest Agni, Maybe that will fix it. EDIT: Nope, still happening. Changing Network Mode back and forth between LTE and WCDMA/GSM seems to be easier than rebooting though.
I would normally just do it, but it says to flash Lollipop bootloader with oden before flashing the ROM. Never tried this before, so I was hoping someone else has been there and done that. I know all other P-900 ROMS run just fine on our T-900's and this one is probably the same.

Yep. It'll work. It works better if you flash the twrp for the Note Pro 12.2 onto your Tab Pro 12.2 first though, so flash the latest twrp https://dl.twrp.me/v1awifi/twrp-2.8.7.0-v1awifi.img.tar.html for the Note Pro on your Tab Pro 12.2 then flash whichever of the Note Pro rom's you want on your tablet. They work, I've done it many times before. If you have any issues then just flash the stock tar file for your Tab Pro 12.2 via Odin.
Enjoy

Yes I am on hyper drive now, but this Lollipop seems like it's a different animal. I tried several different ways to get it going with no luck. I tried the note TWRP and even tried to Oden the note stock rom. Have you found a way to get 5.0 TW on our "black sheep" T-900?
Jessooca said:
I have had it on mine for a good few weeks, however it took Linux, 2 stock tar files, the latest 4.4.2 from the T900 and the recent Tab S Lollipop update, and a whole lot of trial and error to get an official ported touchwiz version to boot without issues on the Sm-t900 and due to the high likelihood someone might do something wrong and screw something up, I chose not to share it. I had to contact no less than 5 of the most intelligent experts I knew of in Android and boot loaders, kernels, etc before i even flashed it to make sure what I did would work.
Mind you this was done several weeks ago and since then I have given out the tar file to others, not on XDA that I know or work with and none of them have had a single issue with it, that I know of.
I considered putting it up on here, however again I don't have the time to work out any errors, kinks or issues that people on here might have. I also know that OFFICIALLY Samsung will be releasing the 5.0.2 update to the SM-T900 very soon, July/August/September however it's been released already to another country.
So I figured everyone has already waited this long, why take the risk of sharing it with others that I cannot or will not the time to fix or work out any errors with it. IF you do want it, PM me and I"ll share you the link, but again it's all your own risk. I can only say that for me and my friends who I have given it to, Zero of them have mentioned any problems. I myself have no issues with it on my Sm-t900.

What do you mean by "It's been released already to another country" ? Wouldn't it be posted on sammobile.com ? I did send you a PM, and am sure I wouldn't have any trouble with your Tab S port if you would send a link?
Jessooca said:
I've sent you a PM, and to clarify, I was making reference to this Official NOTE Pro 12.2 Android 5.0.2 update which was released http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50030/P900UEU1COF4_P900XAR1COF4_XAR/

ok,,....,so still no link to your "TAB S PORT" you are "running on your tab pro now"
Okay, so I sat down and was gearing up to install CM11 on this well valued phone.
I loaded up:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firephone/comments/3j67na/full_guide_installing_cyanogenmodslimkat_on/
As they have the easiest directions to follow and I turned on my phone. To my surprise, the firmware I saw was nothing like the ones in the directions. My firmware simply read "Fire OS .5.0"
I clicked check for update and then it started downloading 4.6.4, which I quickly turned off the wifi to avoid any issues.
The phone is an AT&T variant which I'm using on AT&T. What is needed to load CM11 at this point?
I tried looking for methods to manually update to 4.3.1 but I hear about white screens and crashes etc.
Can anyone advise a noob on how to proceed right now? Itching to play with the phone with CM and would like to tackle this tonight if possible!
Since you are already on Reddit, did you see the thread right near the top that asks the same question:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firephone/comments/3jb2x8/installing_cm_from_fireos_464/
Doesn't sound like there is any issue installing on 4.6.4.

HI! Thanks for the speedy reply. I did see that thread but it seemed a bit risky as it was a "you gotta just try it" type of situation.
I felt the safest way wouldve been to update to a firmware that has been tried and true and then follow directions from there.
But then again, I seem to be having trouble, at least for the att version, to find a way to manually update to the firmware to the tried and true version.

Still not sure what you are worried about. I haven't seen any reports that you cannot root 4.6.4. This person even gives the exact steps:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firephone/comments/3jb2x8/installing_cm_from_fireos_464/cuogpp3
Here's what I did:
FireOS 4.6.4 (US unlocked) - Install KingoRoot - Root - Install SafeStrap - Download SlimKat, GApps, SuperSU (for root) - Reboot into SafeStrap - Factory Reset - Install SlimKat, GApps, and Super SU.
Replace SlimKat with CM11 for your question.
Here is another confirmation:

And since you seem very nervous, here is another confirmation:

Ok, pretty easy.
First you have to get your phones partitions right for 5.1.1.
To do it go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3252903
and follow the op carefully.
The instructions written in red a couple paragraphs down in the the thread has the link you need to get your phone to 5.1.1.
After that you can flash any rom in this forum you'd like.
Good luck and don't forget to give @tx_dbs_tx a big thanks (and any thing else you'd like) for the commitment and hard work he has done for us all.

thanks so much, i might have messed up i pull up supersu and it tells me "there is no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem!" - i dont know if i really need this, i mainly rooted jelly bean note 4 to get sd card access on my 3rd party apps and it works as is right now
also it keeps bugging me if i want to install a 150.16MB update N910PVPS4COK1/N910PSPT4COK1/N910PVPS4COK1 - should i just go ahead and install it?
other than that everything seems to be working, faster and better than before.

First of, don't take the ota just yet. Wait for comments about it first. If your on a custom rom you shouldn't be getting that update notification.
Which rom are you on when you get the SuperSU message?
If you are now up to 5.1.1 and flashed a custom rom you don't need to root.
Explain a little what you did to see if the issue can be sniffed out.

Yeah i followed the instructions in full of the thread you connected me to. im on 5.1.1 stock, i flashed the odexed version tx_dbs_tx placed on there.
i dont really flash any other rom in there that isnt stock since i know most have issues recognizing the spen
if it helps software version im on is N910PVPU4COJ6
hardware version N910P.05
the supersu message i mentioned earlier only appears if i hit the supsu app

for the full steps on what i did is
Odin flash the stock OJ6 rom tar using odin on your PC. on that step it took forever it build the library and then i just made sure i was able to connect to usb for the next step.
i went ahead and placed the downloaded sprint stock rom onto my external
went to the recovery mode i wiped my internal 3 times
then i hit the apply update on external i believe is the option i chose (the way he explained on the thread was way different from what i had, i mean the wording). i selected the sprint stock and it hung up for a while on the sprint spark, built library again and phone was as if it was brand new asking me to signin google.
it downloaded all my previous apps even the sprint crap ( i was able to uninstall those) other than updating the apps and messing around w them i really havent done much else. bluetooth works as well as texting and calls, wifi too
Well, you can be sure if @tx_dbs_tx released a rom it's darn near perfect. His roms come prerooted.
If you are still having supersu issues do a wipe and install any of his roms. They don't have issues... I've been using his roms for over a year and have found problems are usually user created.
