[Q] Questions about SS and my current setup

I never OTA'd to MF3. Instead I installed the Unadultered MF3 ROM that somebody put out awhile ago and retained root/recovery.
Does this mean I'm still on MDL essentially?
Would it benefit me to use Safestrap to side load different ROM's instead of flashing back and forth?

It says you're on MDL. If you want to change roms faster ss will help.

Yes it should still be MDL.
Do you still have a custom recovery? If yes, you are still on MDL.
With MF3 OTA it included the locked bootloader. This is what you don't want (and if you still have a custom recovery you don't have it, which is good).

Awesome. Thanks, guys!

Safestrap is nice for us that took the OTA update for whatever reason we did so . However when you use rom slots it absorbs your internal memory according to the size partition you create per slot . We all know how much it bugs us already to only have say 8 or 9 gigs available as is . than again it's kinda like duel boot.i can't wait till this bootloader gets hacked to h?ll.

Lost WiFi

-Safestraped 3.65(latest stable)
-Jellybeans 6 runs flawless
-For whatever reason I can't get Hyperdrive or Baja ROMs to connect to my 5ghz WiFi correctly. I deleted the ROM slot and wiped and wiped and wiped again. But for whatever reason those two ROMs react the same to that WiFi band. As soon as I enter password my WiFi goes dead. Yet if I flash Jelly Beans it works flawlessy. Any thoughts? Thanks

Are you following the instructions outlined in Method #2 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528707
Also make sure you are flashing the whole "Stock Tar file". Not just the "Modem Tar File".

Not sure how that even remotely relates to my problem. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

There are known WiFi issues with Hyperdrive if you aren't on the latest Firmware(MJE). Your symptoms seem similar to mine before I followed "method 2".

I am on latest firmware. The thing is that it seems safestrap related to me. Like my rom slot 2 is not wiping correctly. I'll figure it out. Again thanks guys

[Q] note 3 n9005 has no sound

hello everyone,
yesterday I flashed the x-note rom on my note 3 and for some reason it got stuck in a boot loop so I flashed the official uk 4.4 rom and when it booted up I found out that my phone was absolutely no sound and as a result I cannot receive or make calls. I also tried flashing the volume boost mod and it didn't work.
help me please.
I'm desperate.

flashed the ne4 and the nc2 modems
didn't work
any other ideas?

Are you using an Nordic/Scandinavian variant? - if so, flash back to stock. There is some issues with them particular variants and has been since 4.4.2. - Even if you aren't I'd go back to 100% stock to be 100% sure first to determine if it may be a hardware issue also.
