[Q] Problems with KitKat Cook Roms? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear friends,
First all, I tried to search, found some threads (Titanium Backup problem) but it did not work for me.
I just bought a N9005 (after 1 year stick with i9500). With i9500 everything very simple with 4.3, I haven't upgraded to KitKat.
With N9005 I stuck with some problem for days: Tried to install some Custom Rom: Crash, Echoe, X-Note ... same problems:
- Dropbox: can not export file, can not save.
- Titanium Backup: FC
- Some apps can not download file.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I tried
"su
Restorecon -R -v /data/data/
But still didnot work. I think the problem is can not write on the storage. But it's weird, in Browser i'm still able to download files.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Later I went back to stock rom, with root flashed. Everything go smooth. But I still want to go with custom rom (as I always did with my i9500). Is this custom rom problem?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thank you all.
Best regards.
Ryan.

To be clear, what rom are you using now? JB or KK?

Ok sorry my bad, may I edit my post?
Might not be crrupted or virus, I tried many times with different roms, with full wipe, format ...

Still not entirely clear - did you have a working KK ROM and now you're trying to install a KK custom ROM, or did you have JB 4.3 before trying to upgrade?

Before installing custom rom, did you wipe your rom manually using recovery (CWM)? wipe cache, systems, dalvik and data partitions?
Titanium backup have a problem when restoring data in KK, but there is a fix for it in the playstore. When finished restore (batch restore) don't run the app yet, run the TB fix and restart.phone.
All downloaded file using any browser will go to phone memory.
I am using stock root NC2. to bypass this SD Card issue copy this file to system/etc/permissions and set permission. Restart phone. hope it help.

To be clearer, I have stock root NC2, wanna try other custom roms (Crash, Echoe, Xnote).
I tried them all but still have the same issue.
I always do full wipe in CWM when switch to another custom rom.
I tried to edit the permission as you mentioned (both manually and copy file) but got error message all the time, seem like I couldn't write or edit file.
I installed the TB fix on Play Store, but It say no issues with the phone (weird), so can not run.
Stock rom everything seem ok but custom roms always have same issues T_T

Its mean your phone doesnt fully root?

Glad it works with you
this is the only workaround possible but one drwaback would be if you want cwm recovery again, you have to flash the cf root tar file via odin again
Please remove
Is this not the same workaround Chainfire has been discussing weeks ago?

Chainfire said:
Ok, so now I've tested a lot of things, a lot of tries, I'm not sure if it sticks in my head correctly.
I can only get the SD problem when transationing from official kernel + 0 counter to unofficial counter.
Afterwards, it seems flashing back the official kernel (triangle disappears) with ODIN, then flashing back CF-Root with CWM app or Mobile ODIN (preferred) solves the issue for me, every time.
I've also seen it appear/disappear with change of signatures, and then I couldn't reproduce the problem anymore, but the above procedure seems to work.

Yes, it is, but people are still asking this question without bothering to search(or don't know the terms so are unable to find) and the answer is buried under a few pages of posts.
Maybe this thread is necessary for those people but this has been discussed before so your call.

I did not understand (maybe because my english is terrible eheh).
Now, with this method, I have my phone rooted but stock recovery. Is there a way to get cwn recovery and no sd problem?
whats with people rating this thread down. sigh...
Mate thank you so muchGave you 5 stars.Flashed the zImage and got all my apps finally over to the SD as the LP6 wouldnt flash on my version of ROM for some reason.If I need to Ill flash the CF-Root back for a CWM backup.Well done.
I dont quite follow this either. I have flashed the zImage of original XXLPH kernel, but now what??
Do I need to flash the kernal again via Odin to get CWM back fully operational??
I have a diff. Firmware, CheckRom6 & Redpill Kernel 1.3. And despite of Download Counter 0 I have the problem with Titanium some apps' not flashing back, too. (had the problem already with CheckRom4 / Syiah, too).

Just flash the CF-Root kernel's zImage file via the CWM app and you will get root & CWM working again.

Even though got to solution by try & error; Yes, it is there in the deep of long thread.
Just want to put it up in simple well detailed steps since many people facing such problems and asking for.....
I followed the advice in Chainfire's very long thread after finding it here, and it worked for me.
I used this procedure:
1. rooted via CF-Root using Odin.
2. flashed the old bootloader using Odin.
3. reset flash counter via Jig.
4. flashed the ICS bootloader using Odin.
5. flashed the stock kernel using CWM app.
6. flashed the CF-kernel using CWM app.
SD works fine and root is retained.
ahh thank you!
thanks, this works fine for me.
you mean after flashing the zimage kernel you need to flash the http://download.chainfire.eu/147/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.zip
to get CWM working again?

[Q] Flashing stock rom (GT-9500)

..
..
I've never done a backup myself but that's bad practice I know.
If SuperSu does not ask you for root privileges, then there might be some issues with your root. Have you tried to install the latest update? I had the same issue right after root, the default SuperSu app did not work so what I did was flashing the latest SuperSu app via Recovery and it worked.
Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
I just flash 4.4.2 INU, just backup yr msg & call logs, the installation process automatically backup & restore apps
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Always make a backup before doing anything to your system. You never know what might go wrong. You can backup using nandroid or your custom recovery.
Regarding you SuperSU issue, make sure you answer "No" when your custom recovery asks you fix root (unless specified by the rooting procedure - philz touch recovery when rooting Russian firmware i9500 4.4.2).
Moreover, you can download an app to check if you lost your root privileges. If you did lose it, root your system again.

I already backed up my stock rom as an image, I'm talking about backing up apps, settings, etc to restore them. About superuser, I tried several times to re root but i won't work.

you can use titanium backup but that needs root. uninstall Super SU and install it from the play store. The app will detect if its activity is hindered by KNOX.

Ap0rd said:
By uninstalling , you mean unrooting?

First, make sure that your are, indeed, rooted. Uninstall Super SU in Applications Manager in your Settings. Install again from play store.
..
download a root checker app to check if you are rooted. try downloading Super SU from play store anyway. See what happens.

[Q] "App not installed" error

Hi I have a weird problem. I hope someone can help me out.
1. Rooted SM-N9005 with Towelroot. Successful. Verified with Root Checker. Then I installed SuperSU and also Titanium Backup (to remove bloatware).
2. Before rooting, everything was ok! but PROBLEM 1 occured as now when I try to dial, the phone, contact and even message have all stopped, "unfortunately ... has stopped working"
SO I read in the xda forums and tried App manager > All > wipe cache but still didnt work.
Went into samsung recovery and wipe cache/data but still didnt work.
Didnt want to install TWRP or CWM as I read these will trip KNOX.
SO I reset to factory settings.
3. . Even after reset to factory, phone, contact and sms didnt work. BUT NEW PROBLEM 2 is now I cannot even install apps such as towelroot, rootchecker, titanium backup or SuperSU... "App NOT installed"
Please anyone help me thank you

Its stock rom as i have only rooted. I read on the xda forum the flashing custom rom or even install twwrp or cwm will trip knox.... so i didnt do anything rom-wise.
The phone app and sms app were on the front page. Sorry i dunno what launcher means.
4.4.2 is the rom.

Hi thanks! It worked! I used the latest update. NEW PROBLEM 1. installed towelroot SUCEESS. but when I used towelroot, it says 'this phone not supported'
so does this mean i have to flash the older rom again and then towelroot it?
if root is successful, can i then flash back the newer rom and still keep root?

If you change for GBNL8 lollipop rom
Choose rom pre-rooted it's more simple ( Aryamod for exemple )
but make a backup of your current rom with laster TWRP recovery ...2.8.3.0 ( additional check box EFS and Modem)
And download tool Savemypitfile to save your PIT file (if you would like downgrad) need root and debuging ckeck

[n910c] go back to stock rom from cm13. [bootloop/ imei/network problem fixed 100%]

MY GUIDES TOWARDS VICTORY:-
FR34K-B1B0
vaskodogamagmail
HmanA6399
Peontikos_Desmos
I am truly very much grateful to you guys! Owe you!!!
TOOLS YOU NEED:-
EFS PROFESSIONAL (PC) [Get it here!]
TWRP Recovery Installed Phone [Get it here!]
BUSY BOX PRO (APK) [Get it Here!]
ODIN (PC)
N910C PIT FILE (FIND ONE FOR YOUR EXACT PHONE MODEL!)
APPROPRIATE STOCK ROM. (AS PER YOUR CURRENT BASEBAND VERSION!)
ROOT EXPLORER PRO (APK).[Get it here!]
Okay, Now carefully follow my instructions.
BOOTLOOP FIX
Make a TWRP NANDROID BACKUP of your current properly working ROM [eg: CM13].
Make sure that your phone is rooted. Then, Install Busybox (Run the application and then install busybox) and Root Explorer in your current custom ROM (Don't forget to grant root permissions).
In Root Explorer, Go to root (R/w mode enabled), Enter EFS folder, Copy the following files to your SD card.
imei (folder)
.nv_data.bak (file)
(Keep these two things safe somewhere, Because you will need it later to fix your IMEI)
In your phone settings, make sure 'USB debugging' is enabled from 'Settings->Developer Options->'.
Run 'EFS Professional' on PC. (On your PC, Make Sure that you have installed 'Samsung USB Drivers' from here & 'Google adb USB drivers' from here.)
Connect the phone to PC, Grant root access to your PC by confirming the dialog box showing up in the phone.
On EFS Professional, Go to "Samsung Tools" tab , Go to "Other tools" and select "Format EFS Folder" then click "Execute".
Power off the phone, Reboot into TWRP Recovery.
Wipe all data/factory reset.
Power down the Phone and Reboot into 'Download' mode.
Start ODIN on PC and Connect the Phone.
In Odin, Load the 'PIT' File, Check 'Re-partition' and Load your Stock ROM file to AP. Click Start to flash the stock firmware.
VOILA!! ONCE FLASHING IS DONE, YOUR PHONE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REBOOTED INTO YOUR STOCK ROM WITHOUT ANY FRUSTRATING BOOTLOOPS !!!!!!
NOW YOU PEOPLE WILL BE FACING A 'NOT REGISTERED ON THE NETWORK' PROBLEM. DON'T WORRY! LET'S FIX IT! FOLLOW MY LEAD!
EFS / IMEI FIX
Boot to your new stock ROM.
Install BusyBox (Run the application and then install busybox) and RootExplorer.
Start 'root explorer', Go to root ((R/w mode enabled), Go to EFS folder
Delete all the files and Restart the phone.
Again repeat 'Step 3'.
Now you will see some files again. Now, carefully delete only the 'imei' folder and 'nv_data.bin' file.
Make two copies of your previous ROM backup file ".nv_data.bak" into the new ROM's EFS folder and rename it to "nv_data.bin" and "nv_data.bin.bak" respectively.
Finally, Reboot the Device.
THATS IT! YOU NOW GOT YOUR NETWORK BACK!!! ENJOY THE STOCK ROM!!!!
(Keep a TWRP Nandroid backup of your Stock ROM. It will help you out from other troubles in the future!)
Hit 'Thanks' If I helped you out!! Ask for more assistance!
Cheers!

Can anyone confirm this works?
I attempted this method with not much luck in the end
Same, when i open the EFS folder / copy it with Root Explorer, and it say need Root Access. When i press okay the phone is rebooting. Please someone help me.
I'm glad you got your phone back!
But I still don't know what the EFS folder has to do with the bootloops. I guess we should try the following
1- Make an EFS backup in your CM13 rom (just in case) but don't delete anything.
2-Go to recovery and wipe data cache and dalvik.
3-Reboot in download mode and connect your phone to your pc, then open ODIN.
4-Load your .PIT file and tick 'Repartition". Add your stock TW 5.1.1 rom and flash everything
5-Wait until it boots and check if you have signal.
I've used CM12 and reverted to stock Lollipop doing these steps (even without repartitioning) and worked just fine but maybe CM13 partitioning is different. Can anyone follow these steps and report what happend? Remember to make an EFS backup (as I said, just in case) before.

Try again. Use CF root to properly root your stock ROM. And then flash TWRP Recovery. Then setup busybox and root explorer in your stock rom. Make a backup of your EFS folder by copying it somewhere safe.
I used this method and I worked fine for me.

is there any custom frimeware for the galaxy grand prime sm-g532f ? i looked everywhere but can't find one.
i need one because there is no more space in my phone, the system took almost everything, 6.5go of the 8 availble, so i can't install big apps even with an sd card ! any solution ?
i was about to install a stock rom, but someone told me that it will take the same space as my current rom .
thank you.
I don't think any developer is interested in this device, it could be due to non-availability of unlocked bootloader, firmware sources, etc. I am thinking of getting rid of mine and move to another device that supports open hardware/software.
In possible solution if you managed to root it the use system app remover to get rid of Samsung bloat.
Good luck.

All phones when you unbox are on factory ROM (aka stock ROM). I think you are referring to rooting and installing custom recovery, I failed and phone always go into boot-loop making me to re-flash stock boot and recovery images.
