I just wanted to make this perfectly clear: DO NOT use this kernel on a Verizon variant (almost impossible as it hasn't been officially released). This kernel is not signed and the bootloader will error out. You'll then be soft bricked until you flash a signed kernel in Odin.
Visual proof...first the signed unsecure kernel that allowed first root on the VZN SGS4 (notice the signature at the bottom):

Now your boot.img....which is missing the signature:
Again, please folks...do NOT flash this if you don't have an unlocked bootloader and an original kernel backup. Things could get REAL UGLY, REAL FAST.

Confirmed variants for various countries
SM-N9002 Dual Sim variant for Chinese Market
SM-N9005 LTE variant
SM-N900K for KT Telecom South Korea
SM-N900L for LGU+ South Korea
SM-N900S for SK Telecom South Korea
SM-N900A for AT&T United States
SM-N900T for T-Mobile USA
SM-N900V for Verizon Wireless

You say that this kernel is not signed ?

No, it's not. No need for it to be. International bootloader is not locked.

Is not the leaked version will be the case? Official version would not have been so right?
Sorry, I noted that the test subject, because I do not have this equipment
Thank you for correcting me, I look!

Since it's now VERY obvious you are not the author of this kernel, I will try to explain what I think happened. The person that created this kernel probably (and I say probably because I'm not going to waste the time and bandwidth to download 1.9GB of software I don't need) downloaded the leaked firmware and extracted the boot.img. He then made two minor adjustments that gave root access and repackaged the kernel. This probably took all of two minutes. I haven't looked at the original boot.img, but there's a 99% chance this gives root on a N9005.
There's a 50/50 chance it will work on any other N3 variant that doesn't have a locked bootloader. It depends entirely on how closely the keys match. In the US, this means Sprint, T-mobile, and sometimes AT&T. The S4's bootloader was locked by AT&T and I'm expecting the N3's to be as well. Verizon is almost always locked unless you buy a developer edition phone. A locked bootloader will fail to boot an unsigned kernel and the phone will be soft bricked.
This is one of the reasons unlocking a bootloader is so important to people that enjoy customizing their Android phones. It allows for custom recovery installation, custom kernel (which can then be unsigned), and custom ROM installation. Root can still be achieved with a locked bootloader, but it is much more difficult.

Korea Telecom (KT) Anyone?
Has anyone tried rooting the SM-N900K?
Does the galaxy3root dot com method work?
Terrified of trying this for fear that it will brick my device.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would try this, when Chainfire has done his thing, is this to try and avoid the counters being triggered or something?
Edit: Scratch that.... just noticed the dates.... didn't realise how far down the forum list I'd scrolled in tapatalk haha.

[Q] Odin fails 4.3 bootloader issue

I am trying to install a 4.4.2 rom. It (phoenix) is on, but the baseband of my I9505 is still stuck at Mk2.
I followed steps to flash a new modem, but it reports failed every time.
I downloaded a stock 4.4.2 rom. It failed to install in odin. I was able to get back in recovery to use my nandroid, but I would really like to get this critter working with a 4.4.2 rom.
Is there a way to just update the bootloader?
Is there any drawback to being on the 4.4.2 BL instead of the 4.3 one I am on now?
Should I have a custom kernel that relaxes permissions or something?
Thanks tons.
Mike

Here is an image of the fail screen in Odin. I have tried 3.04, 07 and 09.

That file you are trying to flash is only for the old bootloader. I think you have the new bootlader so that file is not for you. If you want to update your modem, then pick a newer modem.

I thought the NC9 designation meant it was the right modem. Is there another version of that file that is for the new bootloader? I also believe I am on the new boot loader. I got the lovely knox 0x1 warranty result to go with it...
I will take a gander at the modem section again to see if I can find the ones that work with the new bootloader.

Went to sammobile to try to get an updated firmware for the device. I bought my USCC i9505 on ebay, for use in the us, but on sammobile I cannot choose USA as a place to check the firmware from. Is it only a international device? Is there a USCellular stock 4.4.2 I should be looking for? Thanks.
Mike

Just pick a modem from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
I think the ones at the bottom are the latest.
ps why do you want to update the modem? If everything works, then it's ok. It's not that a newer modem is always better.

Just to add to my confusion. I can make phone calls with the current setup, I just cannot send text messages. Do they use different radios?

Thanks for the reply, I will give that thread a look. My problem is that when I move to a 4.4.2 rom I am not able to send text messages. I noticed after a few days of fighting with it that the rom I had was NB9 and the baseband of my phone was MK2.
I was under the belief that if I got my baseband to be NB9 I should have everything back in order.

I don't think its a problem with the modem. I had a similair problem once and that was caused by an incorrect "smsc number". That number is needed for sending sms. You can receive right?
I don't know how you can change it with the default sms app, but with an app like Go SMS Pro you can enter it manually.
Just google for: smsc number [insert provider here] see if that works.

That would be awesome if that is all it is. I am not finding a page plus SMSC, but I have 4 other devices on page plus, so I am just trying to track down the number from there. THANKS!

I could not get into my S3's SMSC settings, but my two older phones appeared to be blank. Neither would give me anything when I hit refresh either.
I decided that since PagePlus uses Verizon that their SMSC was probably the one I needed, but that did not solve it either.
At the moment I am restoring my 4.3 stock rom. It works, so I will see if I can check the SMSC in there. Does it make any sense that I can restore a rom and have it work, yet when I put a new rom on it does not? I guess I did find several post detailing similar results back when IC was new. Maybe I am wrong about the page plus SMSC and that is my issue.
Thanks for the time and effort!
Mike

It could be a problem of the specific rom. Did you try other roms?
Does the stock rom flashing of 4.4.2 work now? If not, make sure you use the backport usb, not the front ones.

So I never had success. I ended up restoring my stock 4.3 us cellular backup and everything works fine.
It is driving me batty that I cannot install a bloat free rom and have texting working... I think I am going to have to devote some energy into learning how to debloat this rom. I have Titanium Pro, so I think it is just a matter of taking some time.
Thanks tons for your help.

I have tried 2 or 3 different roms. Phoenix lately and Golden eye before that.
I downloaded a stock 4.4.2, but it stuck on the Samsung screen. Scared me that I had her locked up tight... I had an issue yesterday with it not coming back from a nandroid too... I had a copy on my external card though and recovered from there as well.
I am not sure if I had a USCC stock 4.4.2 when I was doing that odin attempt. I asked on a teamuscellar page if there is a stock 4.4.2 for the s4 yet, but had not seen a reply yet.
Thanks for the tip on the back port. I will give that a go when I try again. My previous message said I was bailing.. but I am really not good at giving up. =) Thanks again!

Do you have this model?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272533
Because I see that U.S. Cellular has the Mk2 modem you talk about. Maybe you have the Galaxy S 4 (SCH-R970)? Could that be possible. Maybe that is why everything fails and why you can't text.

Yes, that is it. I am not sure how I started thinking I had the I9505 instead of the R970. I must have seen a post somewhere that linked them. I wonder how similar the hardware is. The roms I tried were sweet, just no texting.
Thanks so much for helping me solve this!

I think this [ link ]is the stock image for the 970 that I tried in Odin and had it stay on the Samsung screen. I will download again, check the md5, and give it another go from a back port usb.
I did notice that the post you led me to was in the S4 i9500, I9505, etc forum. Is it possible my R970 is also a i9505?
Thanks,
Mike

I don't think you can use the i9505 roms.
After you flash your rom, try to do a wipe data from the stock recovery. I think it will boot then.

[Q] Office 365 Install Issues

Ola
I'm trying to install Office 365 (have sub) on my Note 3.
It is in the play store.
However it only shows of my owned devices, the Galaxy Nexus is compatible while the Note 3 is not.
Can anyone suggest an alternate route to getting it installed?
I have X-note15 installed on my n900w8.
Thanks,
- RMLeLoup
----- EDIT -------
Identified "possible" issue. However I need to know now... how can I "adjust" my store info on the phone to re become the N900W8 ?
See screenshot below for reasoning. Disregard the other phones... I went through 6 "galaxy infuse" phones with work, all with same issues... (boot up, green tint, red, orange, yellow, blue, you name it, I saw it).

You can edit your Build.prop to show the correct Model number.
It may also be a DPI issue, if so set it back to default (480)

How would I edit "build.prop" ?
And i'm just rebooting phone to 480 dpi, will re log into play store and check there.
*Update* even 480dpi, instead of any other alternate dpi, no change after rebooting.
Is there x time I have to wait? Or just reboot a few times, hit a few cell towers, come home and try again?
Thanks for the help!

Use root explorer to edit the build.prop -- find the model number and change it to N900W8 hit save and reboot. Should be OK . just in case do a backup cause if your build.prop gets messed up you'll need to flash stock again to fix

Right here? and Put exactly all caps, N900W8 no spaces?
edit I noticed the region is GB (great britain?) Can I change that to CA / Canada?
See pic below.

Yep that's the place. Now I can't remember if the Canadian version is N900W8 or N900w8 - I think it's all caps though like the other models

And...
I have backed up in the recovery to both SDcard and ExtSDCard (I believe they are called).
Have 64gb microSD class 10.
Figured backup twice, can't hurt to have a backup to a backup ...

CA for region since it's the .ca model

2nd backup is taking longer to the extSDcard. Almost done... md5 sum fun...
About to boot and try the edit.
Will report once done... And if successful...or not... huzza!
P.S. are you advertising "paranoid rom" ? ^_^ I had it for my Gnex for ages, worth it.
UPDATE
It stayed entered, but had no change to the play store (pro or con).
I noticed the highlighted zones. Suggestions?

Yeah I'm using PA on my N5.
Hmm, I'm a little stumped. Need to have a think at what the issue may be.

I could start changing all the n9005's to N900W8 .
I can also change the N900W8 to N900w8...

Checked mine and all instances of N9005 on his phone were all N900W8 ( rom is meant for a N900W8 btw ). Now I can't pinpoint exactly which entry Playstore uses to determine the model number on the phone ( am really a tech noob ) but it shows up exactly as N900W8 on compatibility list. As the op said, he can try changing all the N9005 instances to N900W8 but can't really tell if something is going to break somewhere as this is a tricky portion to mess with. Btw, the location GB doesn't have any bearing on the model number, mine is the same.

Microsoft Note: Installable via play store on phone and online pc web browsers.
MS office Mobile is not...

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. I'm currently using an s5 port rom and office mobile installed without a hitch and is certainly working when I was on a N900W8 rom.

SM-N915S/K Root

Root confirmed working for Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Exynos Korea SM-N915 "S" via the legend Chainfire CF-Auto-Root
FOR THE MOST CURRENT ROOT METHOD, PLEASE REFER TO THIS THREAD >> [INFO] [CF-Auto-Root] Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915
WARNING : KNOX COUNTER WILL BE TRIPPED AND WARRANTY VOID - THERE IS NO CURRENTLY KNOWN METHOD TO RESET THE COUNTER OR ROOT WITHOUT TRIPPING KNOX !!
I used : SM-N910"K" (Korea, Exynos): CF-Auto-Root-treltektt-treltektt-smn910k.zip . Another user in this thread had reported that using the SM-N910 "S" Cf-Autoroot failed to boot, so I instead tried the "K" and success. All THANKS & credit to @Chainfire, if you require the stock recovery for SM-N915S, I'd gladly send it to you if you require it to make a formal Cf-Autoroot for our device.
Root has also been confirmed using the same method and file for SM-N915"K" here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56761632&postcount=34
Method:
1. Advised: Have a full stock firmware package available (just in case) [sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com]
2. Have Samsung USB drivers installed on Windows PC (Easiest way is DL KIES from Samsung)
3. Flash via Odin [I used Odin3 v3.07 - attachment] as per Chainfire's instructions !
** If unsure how to use Odin, there are many guides found by searching !
4. Wait around 30 secs after flash (stuck on boot screen), and hopefully device will boot.
5. Open SuperSU app and update SU if prompted
Note: You will have installed stock Android system recovery for SM-N910K. This should not affect the operation of the ROM.

So Cf-Autoroot from Note 4 works for SM-N915 "S". If so which exact one ?
If confirmed for "S" model, would be one less thing for me to look at. ..... I can proceed with a kernel

I am not sure if it was for the S model.
I remember the Japan model was first to be rooted and there is a youtube video on it.
But unsure about the "S" model.
Didnt see the S in the frost post.

So glad to hear that there will be someone else on here with SM-N915S model.
Silly question, but what would be the benefit of rooting this model of Edge right now? I ask coz there's no custom rom available atm.

Main use is for root apps and deleting system apps.
You can then manual theme things.
After my samsung s2 i just stuck with stock rooted roms. Removed things i didnt want.

That's what I need, there's a lot of Korean apps on my phone. I have disabled some but they still show up here an there. Another very annoying thing is the dailer, it has Korean text on it which I want to remove as I only want English.
I'd be happy if I could remove some of those apps, and add the yahoo and twitter panels.
Do you think I'd able to flash an international version rom my Edge at some point?
Thanks.

I am unsure on that. The processor is different I believe and that would be a main thing.
But with root you would be able to change most of the apps and you might be able to set up the build.prop to a USA one that should let you add yahoo and get to the USA panel store.

Apart from removing a few "useless" apps, able to use various root type apps (properly) such as Greenify, Titanium, Synapse etc.
But the main reason is to control a custom kernel I intend to build (time permitting). Also remove knox features and set SELinux permissive for Titanium Backup app to work correctly.
In future, I might look at a very basic ROM, but NOT on my to-do list

The processor being different is my main concern, let's hope some people will address this.
The edge is the best piece gadget I have ever owned. I'd be sorted if these issues were sorted.

A basic rom that includes all essential Note functions would be awesome on the edge.

Does the root method for the Note 4 also apply to the Japanese version of the Note Edge? I'm looking to pick up a Docomo Note Edge....

Post in Q&A where your "question" belongs.
It's OT and nothing to do with my general statement of intention to develop this beast (when I get my hands on it).
I'm going to start taking a look at kernel sources sometime today/tomorrow, so I get a head start before the device arrives (Friday? )

Can someone please explain if this website is showing how to root Note Edge SM-N915S?

Using Verizon note 3 on Tracfone (att mvno)

I just bought a used Verizon note 3 at a great price, and I want to use it on Tracfone's att network. And I have a few questions.
But first, please know that I have tried to read up about this but am still confused so please go easy on me. Also, why did I get a Verizon phone to use on an att mvno? Att note 3's have locked bootloader. T-mobile note 3's are sim locked. Verizon note 3's are factory unlocked and the bootloader is unlockable. Plus, as I said, I got a great deal.
So, I understand that, once the bootloader is unlocked, I can run Roms for the international LTE model (n9005), the att model (n900a) and the t-mobile model (n900t). I understand that I would need to use the hlte recovery and not the hltevzw recovery to install those ROMs. My question is if I do that, will I have any problems using the phone on Tracfone with SMS, MMS, calling, etc.? Will I get LTE?
What are the steps to getting this to work? Do I need to install a Verizon model kernel? Or can I freely install kernels for other models? What about modems? Do I need to flash hlte modems or Verizon modems? I do not need Verizon service.
Any help would be much appreciated. And please let me know if any of my understanding above is mistaken. Thanks.

after bl unlock.
hlte not hltevzw twrp, rom of choice(not all i tried worked), kernel made for hltevzw, boot and set up, edit apns to you network specs, may have to change preffered network type in settings and/or radio settings. Had wonderful luck with resurrection remix and aryamod roms battery and stability wise. awesome pool of devs still cranking out top notch stuff for note 3. good luck.
might want to update modem from latest stock firmware or odin zip before bothering the rom process.
some roms specify twrp for hlte or hltevzw and diff versions. keep that in mind.

Thank you! By updating modem, I assume you mean Verizon modems. So I shouldn't try att modems, right? I also read a thread about enabling band 4 LTE for t-mobile. It looked like I needed to go into service mode to do that. Will I need to do that as well? Or is that not applicable if I'm on an international ROM? Also, what would happen if I tried international Qualcomm model kernels?

not sure about opening up lte bands for tmobile. i use att prepaid on my 900v until screen pooped out on me few days ago. yes to verizon modems. the rom won't matter in regards to LTE you only get what bands your phone is capable of getting based on what network you're using and the bands that they use. i never had to tweak bands for att service. i got good enough signal. trying kernels not meant for you particular model will result in you getting real familiar using odin to flash full factory firmware packages. Dont do it. lol.

Is there any reason to prefer a rom designed for 900v if I am not going to use verizon service? Will it be more stable or have less bugs? Could you also point me to some 900v kernels? I have been looking but I'm struggling a little bit. Thanks.

ROMs for the Verizon model will work better for Verizon service. If you're looking at AOSP ROMs you can Google search xenial kermel, or lss kernel, or idle kernel. idle and lss have touchwiz kernels as well. you can also look at phantom kernel for touchwiz.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/orig-development
here is a good starting place for kernels. check each one for 900v support. check vzw note 3 forum too. it took me a bit to get use to vzw applicable stuff not being in vzw forum. but like i said the n3 is still very active in development and options are numerous. read, read, read. try, test, try, test. find what works best for you and your device.

Thanks again. I was surprised that there isn't a single kernel thread in the Verizon dev forums. I guess all the Dev's moved on while the bootloader was still locked. So, what you're saying is that I need to check international Qualcomm kernel threads for Verizon compatibility, right? That's really helpful.
The state of the Verizon note 3 forum is really sad. I've had many devices that are older and lower end and have always found active and helpful development threads in these forums. Here, the FAQ's and guides are outdated, and the development section is like a ghost town. I guess that's what happens when a carrier decides to lock the bootloader.

Correct. vzw forum is a bit lonely but thankfully other roms work. and work well. ill be replacing the screen on my n3 whenbi have extra cash. I honestly like it more than the sprint note 4 im using. my wife has a sprint note 5. love the innards phone is a beast, but minimal development other than moar rom and i dont feel comfortable carrying that thing around. ill break it way too quick.

Thanks. My note 3 just arrived. I think I'm gonna leave it all stock for a week or so and make sure everything is working correctly, and also have a baseline expectation for performance and battery life. Then I might start experimenting with ROMs and kernels. Thanks again for all your help.

Did you have the problem of the incoming caller numbers being prefixed with a "+" so that the phone mistakes the first few digits as an international area code? I have that problem and read that it happens on Verizon phones on the att network. I also read that the prefixer app can help fix that but it hasn't worked for me. Do you have any suggestions?

I have not run into that problem at all on custom roms. Is it occuring on stock rom ? i left touchwiz on my note 3 only long enough to charge battery to full for flashing and bl unlock, twrp, and root..

I'm sorry to keep bugging you but I'm having some serious problems, and it seems you are the only one running a verizon note 3 on att. I had that problem with the incoming call having the "+" before the number, until I flashed the international n9005 version of darklord reborn. Now the incoming caller number works fine but mms is not working. Do you have mms working on att? SMS works fine, but mms fails to download. I am, of course, not on att, but an att mvno: Tracfone. MMS is working fine when I put the sim in another phone. I've checked the APN and data works fine but MMS doesn't. Any help? The people in the thread say that MMS is working just fine, but I assume they are running it on an n9005 and not n900v like we are, which is probably the issue.

I'm sorry if that came off rude. I am just a little frustrated. But I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. I was saying that the verizon specific forums do not have a whole lot of activity. As PlanetZ said, there is still a lot that's being developed for the verizon model, but we need to search and read all over the place. I am not knocking the devs or anything. Just commenting on the state of the forum.

I would try adding MMS to the APN type.. you can try changing the MMS port from 80 to 8080.. ive had to do that for att before and tracphone apn seem to mirror att apns for most part. or if you cant get it working on darklord rom try this aryamod rom..

Thanks for the suggestions. The aryamod rom causes the same incoming call number "+" problem. And changing mms port to 8080 didn't work. I am now trying phronesis rom with 900t rom and tmb csc. I hope this does the trick.

thats weird. did you have all roaming options turned on ? domestic and global ?
Edit: so your problem intrigued me and I did some reading I still am seems to be an issue across the board for multiple users of multiple devices of multiple ROMs with no clear fix as simple as flashing something or wiping device and reinstall... I'm going to keep researching it and see if I can't help you find a solution for the meantime you may try this app to remove the plus sign in front of incoming and outgoing calls report back and let me know if it helped...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tftbelow.prefixer
Open Prefixer
Hit the check mark to turn Prefixer "on" - to make it active
Add a rule - choose "Manual Add"
Choose for "Outgoing Calls"
Rule Enabled: Check
Title: "Take Out the plus sign"
When the number matches: .* (that means every call)
During Days: Mon-Sun
From Time: 00:00
To Time: 23:59 (yours may be a bit different; I have my phone set for 24 hour time)
Actions: Remove Characters: \+
That's all. Make sure that the rule is enabled, and that Prefixer is enabled.
or try
Open Prefixer
At the top right click on "Incoming Calls" tab.
Click "Add Rule" icon, (the circular icon with PLUS inside it on Bottom Left Corner)
In the dialog box that pops up, click on "Manual" Button
Rule Enabled:*ON
Title:*Fix Incoming plus (+) prefix
When the number matches: "\+.*" (without the double quotes) (means every call that comes in with + prefix)
Actions: Remove Characters: "\+" (without the double quotes) (remove the + prefix)
Add Number to call log:*Prefixed number*(save the manipulated number in the call log)
I have not used that prefixer app at all and those setup instructions are copy and paste from other forums of users having same issues.
