My S4, i9505, pops up an error every now and then. It says "Unable to register simcard on network. Reboot now. When I reboot everything is fine, but it happens perhaps three or four times a day. There is no pattern to it, and I have ordered a new sim. After installing that the problem still happes.
The phone is out of warranty so I looking at options.
I see that the simcard/sd-reader is very simple to replace.
Do you agree with me that the simcardreader is probably to blame? What else could it be?
If you are on one of the latest KitKat firmwares, I've read some days ago that it's a software issue and it will be (probably) fixed when Samsung releases 4.4.3 for our S4

Got a source for this? I'd love to know it was a software error with 4.4.2 - because then a rollback would fix it!
Thanks.
Hello xda,
I have recently formated my phone N9000 around a week ago. Ever since i formatted my Note 3, I am getting these notifications after making any call
"UPLOADING SOFTWARE UPDATE LOGS... "
I have taken the screenshot, Please have a look on them. Also tell me how to turn off this, I couldn't find any option to turn this off.
Note : using stock Android 5.0
Thanks

Haven't used stock 5. Try in Update settings. Anything related to Samsung don't agree ? with it.
I have been out of the root and rom loop for over a year but I'm having to use my old note 3 again. It's a sm-900v (whatever it was from Verizon) and I'm running it on AT&T network.
I just need to find roms that work for this device because I updated through kies and got lollipop but the dialer is absolutely not functional. If someone could take a minute or two and show me where to go for this old phone, I will love you forever. Lol

Thanks. I couldn't find that subsection in the app but then again it seems to be having lots of issues since it force updated.
Hello
I am new to this forum and definitely to the aspect of upgrading the OS. I own Note 3 SM-900A which I bought online. It is factory unlocked. I am using it in India since 2014. There has been no problem ever since. But I have now realised that many apps don't work including Google Assistant on current OS 4.3. I wish to upgrade it. However I face a problem when I try OTA upgrade that no upgrades are available. This is understandable as I am not part of AT&T network.
I guess the only option left is root and upgrade. Therefore my queries:-
1. How does one go about it?
2. Which version of OS do I install and where do I get it form?
3. Do I have to install custom ROM? Can't I simply download pure OS and install it?
Sorry for sounding like a newbie... I am one thought.

Are you sure you are pointing me too the right forum. They seem to be discussing about spotting the difference between the real and fake phones. Mine is not such case.
You need to read that post .
Models are listed and forums linked.
Forums also listed at the bottom of this Note 3 forum.
The n900a is the AT&T version of the note3:https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att
Trying to update my Note 3 to android 7 but running in circles.
Progress:
Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.5
Rooted device
Uploaded rom to SD card*
Boot recovery mode, select ROM file
Run install
This is where I keep going in circle.
It keeps telling me cannot verify file, verification failed. (does this twice)
Then says update successful, wipe data, format etc.
Reboots back to same old V4.2 again and of course the apps I installed to work on phone gone and have to re-register with Play store to get them back.
How do I solve the error "Unable to verify file"
( also is there a way to stop it wiping data every time if it has failed to update anyway?)
*ROM
lineage-14.1-20180110-nightly-hlte-signed.zip ( this may be wrong rom but the names are often confusing me because the links in upgrade note 3 take me to that rom among others so I assume it is for a note 3)
Any help pin pointing the ACTUAL, CORRECT ROM welcome.

What am I looking for on that post? I have phone rooted.
The AT&T Note 3 sm-n900a has a locked boot loader and can only run custom ROMs created from a stock Samsung lollipop ROM.
Update:
It was my understanding (perhaps wrong) that Safestrap was a way to work around the locked bootloader (ATT) The video on the main topic on this talks about a Verizon phone even though the topic is specific to the ATT note 3. Are they identical with regard to Safestrap etc?
As of now I have Safestrap installed and working. Boots with open lock/Custom on boot screen.
My confusion arises from conflicting videos at YouTube one suggesting Safestrap won't install a custom ROM followed by another that says it will?!?
If it won't exactly what is the purpose of even installing Safestrap if you are still stuck with the exact same android version and all the ATT bloat?
-edit-
FYI currently phone no SIM not provisioned but was used on ATT then switched T_Mobile service (consumer cellular so I can switch between those two. ATT and T-Mobile service suck here but at least with T-Mobile I have WiFi calling on my J2 which avoids poor signal issue at home. Hoping to move back to Note 3 if a good update can make it Wifi Calling enabled )
So far the only reply here has been to tell my my bootloader is locked. Since instructions include using Safestrap as a work around that really does not help me.
At the start the guide was to upgrade the phone to Android 7. Things seem to break down for my understanding of all this if the only work around is Safestrap and if that cannot install a custom ROM how do I get from here to 7/Nougat?
SIDE QUESTION but important.
Having downgraded from 5.0 to root device, I am not getting a request to accept update from ATT ( back to 5.0 I assume ) which I deferred for now. The question regarding this is, if I permit the ATT push back to 5.0 on my rooted device will I lose that root access and have to start all over again? (Darn I don't want that)
Sigh...so confused.
EDIT
I'm reposting an edit to last because I can't figure out how to get the edit/addition to appear. LOL

So the whole topic of upgrading Note 3 to V.7 is a dead end? I'm stuck with a phone downgraded to KitKat from 5.0 after having rooted etc? Will a custom ROM for lollipop let me delete bloat then upgrade to Nougat?
The whole topic of upgrade to v.7 for note 3 is confusing because after two days of reading and trying options I seem to get no where and cannot even find a definitive answer regarding actually upgrading this phone?
There are no nougat ROMs for the n900a.
Safestrap is only good for certain roms and twrp can't be installed on an n900a with a locked bootloader.
Useless phone?

Okay so I wish the whole topic on installing V7 on Note three just started saying if you have an ATT Note 3
READ NO MORE, all hope is lost!
I read numerous posts on numerous sites telling me I can upgrade this phone and none stated up front ( Does not apply to ATT versions ) leaving me to saving a text file full of instructions, links, a folder of downloaded files etc. all aimed at my N900 phone...none of which is valid.
I guess I will just restore to factory and sell in eBay if it is a useless phone other than to put on ATT or T Mobile as a plain old phone full of bloatware.
That or just load my music library on it and bluetooth it to my stereo as a juke box.
*sigh*

Actually I believe I posted this topic under the forum for the phone in question, Note 3? I was inquiring about the actual device not about ATT per-se.
how about a link?

How about a link...cannot find such forum.
Search gives me a google result all over the web.
ALL FORMS gives me hundred of specific phone models but did not find a forum for AT&T here?

As AT&T has a locked bootloader it has little relevance to Note 3 International model.

So if I obtain an international GSM version I should be able to update ROM?
I don't think the international version supports LTE in North America.
