[Q] NB4 phone with SS and installing ROM - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the NB4 update and was able to re-root via an older version of Kingo. Got SS installed and want to install a custom rom on the device. When i'm reading through the instructions, it wants me to flash via ODIN some files.
Can anyone explain on why I have to flash via ODIN files to get the ROM to install on SS? I did install one before and it didn't need and re-flashing.

Was the ROM you are trying to flash a KitKat ROM? Maybe the ROM required updated firmware?

Because you are flashing a KitKat ROM.
You need the BL, AP and CP to be flashed in Odin in order for the ROM to boot and function properly.
You will also have to flash the ROM to the stock slot or it will not work correctly.

I went to the KINGO site and instead of downloading it from the website directly, I picked CNET download which had version 1.18

I used the most recent kingo 1.2.2 a it gave me root, I had to make sure the I had no virus software's activated during the flashing or it would just sit there and do nothing and also make sure you put 10 min. on screen timeout............. Now all I need is to look for is some custom NB4 Rom's ( I think) 4.3 JB to flash and play, I finding that untill the OTA 4.4 KK gets rooted I won't venture forward........

Do u have original link ?
you can flash in a custom recovery if you are TOTALLY STOCK.
it's ok if you are rooted (though you'll probably lose root).
This will FAIL if you are on a deodexed stock rom.
If you are rooted and want to maintain root, then just flash a supersu flashable zip (google that for a link). after flashing the ota

It came from users who got the notification. Since there is only one variant of the N4, it is easy to tell it is the correct update.
Soooo if I flashed this and i lose root. Can I use wugfresh's toolkit to reroot?
Any way to flash and not lose root? Or is it easy to get root back with the toolkit?

I just asked that same question bud.
Update keeps failing for me. I was on Franco kernel, went back to stock kernel and wiped cache and Dalvik. Not sure what is going on.
Where can I find a stock 4.2.1 rom? I'm CM10.1 right now.
and when is the original OTA version coming? im using stock unrooted rom and i dont want to root

Huh? The OTA is here now. You don't need to root or unlock the bootloader to install it. Either wait for your phone to get the notification or install the SDK and use adb sideload.
can someone do me a favor and upload a copy of the file in system/lib named
libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so

Me, too. I was on faux's kernel and flashed back to stock after wiping cache and Dalvik and I'm getting a Status 7 error when trying to flash in CWM.

OTA Rootkeeper successfully brought back root access after I flashed the 4.2.2 update. As long as you have your root backed up prior to updating, you don't need to reflash supersu.
A question, I'm rooted running stock & am very familiar with flashing Roms but never an update like this / do I wipe anything when I flash or not?

Unroot Android

Hello. I would unroot android. It is possible when my phone is deodexed and with cocore kernel?? Thanks
P.s.: I would unroot phone because my device status is "personal". When the device status becomes "official" I will reroot phone.

Easiest way to unroot and get the device status to official again is by flashing back the official firmware using ODIN.

it happened me again. I unroot by deleting busybox and unroot by superSU . everything ok
What happened again? Yes, you can unroot that way too but still by flashing back the official firmware you'll get a clean unroot and "official" status.
Btw, if you're using cocore kernel and deodexed fw, of course the device status will be custom and root is required.

Which updates? SU? Busybox? If it's firmware OTA update that you're referring to, then yeah. When you root you'll lose that and deodexed rom is a custom rom, so you won't get any updates.

LOL yeah well, after root and installing deodexed firmware, that update does no longer work. But then, I doubt that there will be any updates from samsung. They're busy with their newer devices.

For that you need all stock. System files, kernel, everything. Best way to do it is to flash stock FW with Odin. But when you do that you can flash flash firmware that you want.

Thanks! , hopefully I will be able to mod this phone back and forth.
And if this has been asked before, sorry, again, I couldn't find it.

Safestrap does nothing to the kernel or the original stock ROM so it does not affect any of the secure features. It is similar to a dual boot on a PC.
so im assuming everything went OK no problems .. i was looking to do the same but im on MJ5 att completely stock havent even tried to mess with this phone yet

Kingo is just one click and it is done. Just download the program to your PC. Connect your phone and run the program. it tells you what you need to do and all that is, is to confirm a couple of phone responses.
Do you need to be connected to the Internet when you run kingo?

The phone does not need the internet for Kingo. But the PC does and the phone must be connected to the PC.

Are you aware of any efforts to port CyanogenMod or other high quality AOSP build to hlteatt? I tried the latest build of CM11 - see http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/90429-cm11-samsung-galaxy-note-3-att/, as the 'assert' command in it's install script specifically permits installing on AT&T variant of Note 3, but without much success. My other favorite - OmniROM, does not support Note 3 at all.

If you want to play with the stock ROM, I suggest that you restore the backup to one of the slots. Then make another backup before you do anything you're not sure of. If you mess anything up, just restore the last backup. If you really mess it up, you have the stock slot to boot from.

I don't think we can do that (yet). The ROM has to be a modification od Samsung's stock ROM. But I feel the same way you do. I'd love Cyanogen and a dozen other ROMs to play with. And one that's super fast and doesn't use much battery. I'm trying X-Note right now. It's fast according to both benchmarks. I'll give it a few days of settling to see how it does on battery.

SG i9305 Towelroot problem

Use odin to root your i9305. check the odin guide below in my signature and follow the steps to root your device, very easy
Thank you! I was thinking about Odin but yet again I was curious why the towelroot was not working uder those conditions. But I guess root is root no matter how you get it

Somehow the new towelroot is not compatible with the i9305. knowing this because it happened to me too . until i decided to try the version 1 and version 2 . and version 2 worked for me. Now i don't see any difference whether you root with odin or with towelroot. Unless you don't want your knox warranty void.. that's the only difference. if you did upgraded to 4.3 and you rooted your device with a different method other than towelroot, it will void your knox warranty.
