Flash 4.3 over 4.2.2? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
since updating to KK I have a load of issues on KK based roms. I always get a "remote controls stopped working " message at start up. Randomly wifi stops working and won't switch back on and also all my sensors stop working.
I have done factory reset multiple times and installed stock roms but always have the same issue.
Thinking of going back to 4.3 if that's possible? Any ideas guys, please?

How did you update?
You can't go back so perhaps refreshing 4.4.2 will help. Beyond that you're kind of stuck.

Device status and OTA help

Hey everyone,
I flashed the leaked 4.3 firmware with the 4.3 kernel and everything worked well except it drained battery way too quickly. I just flashed back to stock XXMEA firmware and did a factory reset. Everything is working perfect except under Device Status it says 'Custom' and when I plug the phone into Kies it won't check for updates. It says something about the device unable to initialize or something .
Does anyone know how I can get the firmware back to 'official' status and receive OTA updates?
The CSC is back to normal (XSA), the Kernel is back to nornal and obviously the firmware is back to normal. Any help appreciated immensely!

Question is HOW did you 'get it'?
What is your current ROM and how did you get/install that?
I got the modem from the tri force rom, i was on a mf9 stock rom, it got changed to mk2. My current rom is slim bean 4.3 2.2 final, and i got it from the official site
Try going to a stock MK2 ROM to see if that fixes your issue.

You could not have gotten the modem from a ROM. It is not included in any of them. If you are flashing some 4.3 ROMs without using Odin to update the modem, you could run into issues.

Honestly, i tried using odin to update my modem but everytime it'd fail when i tried, so i gave up, but when i downloaded the tri force rom that's based on mk2 for some odd reason it said my baseband was now mk2, so i thought it did it automatically, but now no matter what rom i go to, whether it be jelly bean or kitkat based ones the phone apk lags, freezes up, and messes up everytime

^Try this^ this is by far your best chance!
And what frostedunit said is true also. Modems must be flashed via Odin in download mode.
now my issue is wifi not working ;( i'm on the rom "stock(ish) v01"

You must be on the MK2 modem for Wifi to work on that ROM. Redownload the modem .tar from Unknownforce's thread in development and Odin it in. Sometimes it takes a few tries for it to stick. Just make sure to run Odin as administrator and put the modem .tar in the phone slot.

Knox failed to install in kitkat

Hi folks!
I upgraded to KK via OTA.
I'm using knox a lot (don't laugh)...
When I tapped to open knox, it starts to install. This is where the problem is. Installation always stuck, randomly at any point. The furthest I got was up to 78% and it just stuck there.
I had cleared the cache partition using the N3 recovery as my phone is not rooted. Same issue.
Also I notice that after upgraded to kitkat, copy n paste doesn't work all the time...
Can anyone shed some light on my Knox n copy paste issue?
Thx in advance

Potentially an issue with KNOX on KK, buuuut, I'd hazard a guess you need to do a full wipe as the old JB file system is probably interfering with it, JB + KK have different structures so maybe causing the issue.
Oh dear. .. I always hated full wipe on a stock rom...
Thx for the suggestion though

Hi, I too have exactly the same problem and it happened after I downloaded the latest updates released by Samsung for Note 3 (KK) in India. I am a regular KNOX user. I have dropped a support query to Samsung. Let me see what response I get.
It is surprising to see that there is no way to re-download and re-install the KNOX apk. Googlling only gives you ways to uninstall KNOX
I wish there is a way out without factory reset.

Hi,
Had the same issue and fixed it without the wipe. All I did was to go to app settings and clear the cache of knox installer app. After the reboot knox updated successfuly.

[Q] Security Force Close i9505 Android 4.4.2

Hi there,
Just installed the leaked 4.4.2 NA5 firmware on my i9505 and apparently whenever I click the security link in settings app, the settings app force closes. This seems to be a firmware problem. I just want to go there and enable installation of apk's from unknown locations. Anyone know a bypass or a fix?
Waiting for the reply.

Did you install complete firmware or just the modem and bootloader? You flashed Foxhound rom right? You'll need to flash complete stock 4.4.2 first wipe before and after flashing then check if everything works and after that you can flash a recovery and you can try to flash Foxhound again.
Be sure to wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset before and after you've flashed Foxhound

I had exactly the same issue this caused by still having old bootloader (no knox) if your using echoe rom, there is a work around available in the thread.

Managed to fix it now by flashing it again

[Q] I9505 android 5 battery issue

Hello All,
i just updated to official android 5.0 (got the update this weekend) using the OTA.
After update the my s4 is very slow, and on top of that the battery is very poor. 5h with nearly no use i have lost 80% of battery.
What could i do?
I searched to disable fast dormancy (like on 4.4.2) but can't find anything.
I have an official build no root or nothing.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Many people had issues after OTA update. Some could solve them by flashing the same firmware with Odin. Others had to factory-reset their phone.

If i flash with odin i loose warranty?
Factory reset it not my favorite solution for now, i need the installed application and not possible before end of the week to reinstall all of them (i'm travelling)
Other tips?
No, if you flash an official stock firmware with Odin you don't lose warranty. So I would try it first.
