Update 3.1.01.5.0032

Update 3.1.01.5.0032 is now available. The description stated that the update was for memory optimization. The initial boot after the update took just over 5 minutes. Hopefully it's not that long all of the time. I haven't used it much since the update. I will report back after I use it for a while and give an update on how it's working.

OK so after using my Thrive for a few hours I have noticed that the lag I was getting from update 0029 is gone along with the lockups I was having. So far it's looking good.

Yes, I had been beta testing it for the last week. Seems real smooth. No issues have been noted.

Meanwhile here in Aus we haven't got a single update and are still on 3.0.1. Well glad to hear you guys are getting updates rolled out. ^^

You coud download the CWM recovery backup of 0032 (latest 3.2 load) and install CWM recovery. Install the backup and you would have the latest. I already had to help one individual that blindly rooted his Ausi Thrive with the 009 US 3.1 load and put his device into a boot loop. He is now running the 0029 HC 3.1 load with no issues.

While here in Japan we received a 3.1.02.5.0005 update a week and a half ago ...

silly question, feel free to flame...but does doing the update break root? i know in phones it does just not too sure about HC and tablets...

Well, kinda. You can not update without unrooting.

Having some trouble updating
Whenever I try to update it shows the Android with a Yellow triangle with an Exclamation point in him.
My thrive is rooted with the Netflix fix, should I just unroot and try it or should I try more drastic measures?
Also dalepl will you have another auto-rooter for 32?

You have to unroot to ba able to update. I do not think you would have to undo the NetFlix fix, but to be safe, I would. As for a root tool for 0032, it is already posted on ThriveForums.org and TabletRoms.com.

Just would like to say hi to everyone here. I am new to this forum and recently purchased a thrive....few questions on the update.
Anyone experience a slower/laggy performance after this update? To me, seems it was running better before.
Also, if I reset the tab, will the update revert back to the way it was 2 days ago when I first purchased it?
Thanks in advance...looking forward to learning more and eventually rooting this baby...after I edumikate meself on all that..lol

No, mine seems fine. It seems that a couple of individuals have reported this same thing. A full reset might be a good idea. As for revering back, no. It is already updated.

Thanks Paul. I will try a reset. I assumed that a sw update was kind of like any app install and that a reset would return it to factory (as purchased).
Is there a such thing as a "hard reset" that will do this rather than the reset through the os?

Th updatews actually replace or patch the OS on the device. The device uses this image when reset So, no, there is no way to just reset the device to revert back to a different load. You can flash the previous load back onto the device.

If that is the case, I am not ready to do right now because of lack of experience, root being fairly new and want to make sure I do want to keep this....have 14 days to return to BestBuy.

This is the update schedule for American carriers. Does that mean that unlocked phones will get it sooner? I hope so. I only just bought the note 2 (Best decision ever) and would love it to be running on 4.3 ASAP.

I live in Brizzy too and I'll second or third that if its the only way we can get it? Sorry for the possibly stupid question, but is it true that if you have rooted and installed a custom rom, then you won't get the push update from your carrier anyway?... so.... the only way to get 4.3 on my (and I assume your rooted phone) is via custom rom download?

or if you go back to stock.
have issues with the ota updater as soon as i root my device. The moment i do that i get the message that my device has been changed and i cannot use the updater then. if i flash stock withouth root i don't have this issue.
reckon its best to make a backup of your apps with TB or any similar program when the official update is available, then flash back stock (no root) and update, afterwards simply restore your normal (non-system) apps and your ready

I'm in Aus too, but the official story (courtesy of Telstra) is that there won't be any updates as of JB 4.1.2, unless there's sufficient backlash ...

To answer you and the gentleman above... Australia will probably be the last country on earth to get the update as usual. So we might have to reside to getting it of some kind developer who uploads it here somewhere.
If you do wish to get updates you should go back to stock firmware (probably the first backup you made for your telstra 4.1.2) doesn't matter if it's rooted. Connect your phone to the PC and have KIES installed. Click update firmware and update (done, it will automatically unroot your phone and put back the stock recovery). You can easily update after that.
If anyone finds any android 4.3 working please update us here as soon as you can with a link to the page. If I find a working ROM for the official android 4.3 TW ROM I'll post it here too.

I don't think Aussie tel companies will well I don't have high hopes when it comes to Samsung I've always had HTC and Samsung and it's always the same get f all. I'm using 4.3.1 carbon I use GMD spen features for spen control and gestures don't use stock Sammy apps anyway.. just the 4.3 would be good because it's smooth as

Well now...I've been holding off playing with rooting my phone (as I'm new to 'droid and have an awful lot to learn, but have come a LONG way in 2 weeks) as I was expecting Telstra to release an update. Since that appears NOT to be forthcoming, Ill consider the various root options, none of which are particularly appealing at the moment mainly as it seems no-one has a stock ROM for this phone online and I can't backup mine without root. Catch 22 it seems. Information on locked bootloaders, Telstra ROM mods, rooting the 7105 "T" version is VERY limited
So...if anyone happens to have a link for a ROM copy please let me know.
(Or info on a rooting technique that works)

Ultimately every one on xda will be using the custom 4.3 rom for the note 3 goodies because Samsung will not be releasing those features in it's official release

Okay I will explain what I done for you...
When I first rooted my Galaxy Note 2 in May, I was a new-comer to android, I had an iPhone for a long time. What I done was root my phone, I Odin installed TWRP after rooting because I really don't like CWM (those are the names of the 'recoveries' available), they will replace the default Samsung recovery. Just make sure you get TWRP. I think it's up to TWRP 2.6.3
Well yeah let's get back to the topic, as soon as I rooted I used TWRP to make a backup of my default Telstra ROM (completely with EFS, MODEM, basically tick everything you can possibly backup).
I took that backup and put it on my laptop and on my PC and I kept a copy on my external card the whole time. That was the best idea, any time I ever had any problems with my phone I went back to that backup. I even soft bricked my phone once and after hours of panicking I realised I can just Re-install the default backup, and it fixed my phone.
Oh and I just recently un-rooted my phone to check for updates. All I done was use SuperSU to do an UNROOT. Then went into recover, restored the original backup I made of the Telstra ROM. Plugged my phone into the PC, and used Samsung KIES to check for firmware update. It just restarted my phone, removed TWRP recovery, re-installed the samsung one, and it removed the root completely and I'm basically went back to my original telstra ROM. I can go into settings and check for updates and everything. (I can confirm there is no update as of yet).
AS for your other QUESTION.
ALL THE ROMS in the N7105 Section will WORK with your N7105T Model. It's the same thing. JUST WATCH OUT and make sure you never install N7100 ROMS (They will soft-brick and could hard-brick your phone).

Thanks for the input.
I've been considering between 3, namely CF AutoRoot, Galaxy Note Toolkit And (exploit based) Framaroot, with a bias towards Toolkit so far ( as it specifies the 7105 "T" variant).
But if you've actually ODINed a GT-7105T (Telstra) with CWP without issues, I'll certainly consider that.
Any one else care to chime in on this (if you've done the same phone/telco only though !)
I've come far enough to understand rooting,boot processes, CWM/TWRP, exploits AND the importance of picking the exact model !:laugh:
I'll take the plunge when I get enough input to decide.

It's not that hard really, you can't really mess it up if you follow the instructions... Hey root it whichever way you see fit, whatever you think is easier for you, don't listen to me. But I do highly recommend you get TWRP for backing up and formatting and installing your ROMS. Also I recommend PAC-MAN it's a good ROM, but it's not very stable at the moment (kind of).

Don't take offense at my asking for multiple inputs. I just don't want to brick at $600 phone needlessly
I've now sourced a ROM from Sammobile and downloaded it last night.

Hopefully it'll all go ok.

[Odin][XXBMC3] Back To Stock Galaxy Camera 3-part Odin Flash GC-100

HI guys, I'd like to post this here. Here is the latest Odin flash update I pulled from Kies and my device the other day. This is as new as it gets for Samsung Galaxy Camera. You will need Odin3 and the following files
PIT: http://d-h.st/3B3
CSC: http://d-h.st/AVe
MODEM: http://d-h.st/Nbl
PDA: http://d-h.st/U7K
Not much more to say, Hope this gets someone out of a sticky situation.

I wonder if they'll ever remember they made this device and give us another update, not necessarily a version upgrade, but give it some extra functions in the camera app.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What do you want? You want me to whip up a CASUAL recovery installer? Or what kind of recovery.zip are you looking for? Generally you install .zips from a recovery, I wouldn't be making a ROM for the camera, but I can help to make it easier to install ROMs.

This device has received the same support as the Galaxy Note 2. So, if you read about something for GNote2, you will likely see it on this device too.

Thanks for reply. No, I'm not interested in installing ROMs. Just a standard CWR that would allow me to install zipped scripts and stuff to tweak camera. I.E. crossbreeder, etc. I installed recovery on my note 8 and added some scripts to make it run smoother and conserve battery. I've seen some recoveries out there, but there are questionable, but you have established yourself as a serious developer. That's why I asked.

Adam,
I have a GC120 that was rooted and working fine. However not realizing that the bootloader was still locked I flashed a custom rom with mobile odin and did not make a back up prior to doing that. Now it boots directly to Download mode and I can not get it to boot to recovery. I can not find the stock firmware anywhere to try to flash through odin. I was going to try the unbrickable mod but I dont know if I feel comfortable taking the thing apart. Ive tried flashing the OTA updates for the device and still nothing. Any suggestions on how I can get this to work again ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

those files still available or no?
Adam... a year ago i downloaded your files and keep it in my harddrive, but last week when i want to use it again, the files corrupted... i can't understand why because i used the same files for 2 times before.
Last night i tried to download your files again... but keep on failing.. my connection really good because i can download 1080 (-+ 1gb) movie everytime. So your files still available to download no? So

they sent it to the wrong address and so it is not arriving until this afternoon and will test and report asap.

OK i have the replacement phone and am using it and it clearly gets a better signal on MJE as it arrived. where i am using it and after upgrading to 4.2.2 i would get No Mobile Network and that doesnt seem to be happening or show any signs of happening by signal strength.
what if anything should i test/try before root and upgrade?
sidenote: root was needed asap as the N3 tried to download KK almost every 2 minutes and had to freeze SDM just to use it without turning off data.

It's a known issue with S5 browser; that's why I left it harder to read. Check Post #2 for more details. You can handle it, revert to Note 3 browser or use the builtin Chrome, which is better for me. Some S5 apps require S5 firmware & so, they're working perfect on v2.0.

You do realize you should be running the MJE modem on 1.3.3/1.4, right? You upgrade to NC2 or the full MJE upgrade process with JasmineROM 1.4, then you go back into download and flash the MJE modem. Tons of people here have had to do that - I get much better reception on MJE modem. There are no issues with running MJE modem on NC2/NC4 firmware (stock, Baja, Jasmine, Hyperdrive, etc)

Sure, just pointing out that firmware and modem are unrelated. I run MJE modem on NC4 firmware. It takes literally about 2 minutes to flash different modems, so you may still want to try MJE and NC2 modems on your current firmware to see how they compare to NC4 modem.

Loaded up 1.4 so far with no problems so far. One question I do have is how do I get rid of that pesky WiFi connected notification? I tried wanam but it still seems to show up. I don't want it to even show up the first time.

4.4.4 OTA update with root

Heya. I have a rooted verizon note 3. I see i can get the 4.4.4 ota update. So i uninstalled root via SuperSU. I get an error trying to do the ota update. Is there a way to install this update without having to use odin and flashing stock? I dont want to lose all my appz settings etc. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Probably not a good idea to take the update. I'd wait until our trusty devs get ahold of the OTA and do their magic.

Yah, but i get pretty poor 4g for some reason and this update might (is suppose to) fix it. I read a lot of people have unrooted with superSU and installed the OTA update fine but for me it isnt working. Even though i dont have root.

Just install the nk1 modem. That is all you need if you are trying to get better reception.

Heya. I have a rooted verizon note 3. I see i can get the 4.4.4 ota update. So i uninstalled root via SuperSU. I get an error trying to do the ota update. Is there a way to install this update without having to use odin and flashing stock? I dont want to lose all my appz settings etc. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

That might just of been the best error ever, especially if you use root a lot. No way to go back and no known, released root at the moment for that version. Like above me has said, try flashing the NK1 modem using Odin and see if that improves your signal any.

Well, i just have been using the stock rom, rooted with safestrap. Id like to update to 4.4.4 just to have the latest OTA with whatever various fixes it might have. Before i did the update i uninstalled anything from wanam exposed framework wise. Then i did the "remove root" from superSU. I still have the unlocked lock on the note 3 splash screen after reboot and the OTA fails....says error at install screen. I have read other people have done what i have done and the update worked. What im asking is am i overlooking something? Is it really even possible without using odin and reverting to stock even though i have read people have had sucess????

If you want the benefits "fixes" of the latest, would be be smart to Odin stock so you are clean when you take the OTA.

You do realize...that if you take the OTA...you WILL lose root. At this point in time...there is no known way to root 4.4.4 and the latest OTA.

I too have read ambiguous posts of people who have used the 4.4.4 OTA on a towelroot'ed Verizon Note 3s. I've been skeptical that this would work and keep root so thanks for clarifying.
I have a question though. Where should I look to keep track of the latest news about a root technique for a Verizon Note 3? Also, is there a place to contribute to a bounty for someone who can figure this out?
I ask because If you google "samsung note 3 Verizon 4.4.4 towelroot" there are tons of hits, but most of them are from eons ago and while I root my phone, I am not a developer, and so don't know the lay of the land. In the past I've just searched for "root verizon samsung note 3" and crawled through the resulting mound of irrelevant material until eventually I found the answer. Or is the answer simply that every few days I search again to see if anything new pops up?
I realize this is a totally newbie question, but I'm a long-time newbie: I've been rooting my phones for years but I don't have a lot of phones and updates only come out every so often so I never really move up the learning curve of how to do this quickly and easily. I suspect others have the same problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My phone messed up earlier this week and I had to use repair assistant and when I did it updated me to NK1 KitKat 4.4.4 and I lost root and can not get it back plus the reception issue is still terrible.

It likely is possible to update and keep root. But if after updating you screw up a mod, etc. and need to get back to stock you will lose root permanently.

flashing modem

There is no Odin 3.29 out. Just Google Odin 3.09 and download to your desktop if you don't
already have it. Then flash the modem to your phone. Don't unroot.

You need to put your phone in download mode before plugging into pc. Make sure debugging is checked in developer settings.

Thanks…
I forgot the download mode and to check the debug- always in a rush…
Ill check it when I get in- thanks again

Verizon forced me to upgrade before they would troubleshoot my phone.
I was not able to do it OTA, but using the Verizon upgrade tool works.
Now I lost root, & I gained a whole bunch of bloatware. Very frustrating

That is why you should always tell them you are on the latest firmware

I read about 4.4.4 and didn't like what they took away from 4.4.2. I won't go to it. If I were you I'd 'towelroot'- (get the simple steps on xda), and 'beanstown 106' has all the firmwares for these phones, put the nc4 on w/ 4.4.2, then install biggins rom v7, then upgrade via dirty flash with 8.0 then immediately w/ 8.3- fast touch response and after about 3-4 days, you'lI be getting twice the battery life… I jumped up to the new v9 but they dont have the theme for it yet. I miss the Kromex blue on black…
