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
I'm UBER Paranoid

Ok,
Next portion:
GB / CA? for region?
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
Edit: yep two backups can't hurt

Eon's it feels like... I backed up my pc... 85 dvd's later... organized, catagorized...a-z...etc...
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...
Rather curious what might be a solid fix for this oddity... As my work uses office 365, and I wouldn't mind using it up front.

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.

So long story short...
Perform backup (to sdcard and extsdcard).
Change all instances to N900W8....
Reboot, cross fingers...see what happens?

It's what I'm suggesting since you've already backed up should in case it doesn't work.

So,
Funny thing...
Microsoft Note: Installable via play store on phone and online pc web browsers.
MS office Mobile is not...
Backed up to sd card and extcard.
I changed all the 9000 to 900W8
Literally in the build.prop
Saved, rebooted.
Still working, and now as mentioned, Note is installed, Office mobile is not...
?
Fairly confused how I can gain access to 1, but not both.

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.

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):

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Worked like a champ! Thanks tons. Can't believe I spent more than a week thinking I had a different phone. Amazing I did not brick it with the different roms I threw on there. Texting and everything is groovy as can be!
Thanks again!

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

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

This isn't my fix. Thanks to @gaganmohal for the original post. Anyway turns out the recent N910W8 data fix for international ROMs also works on our N910T. Which means we now have access to a bunch of new ROMs to flash in the international note 4 forums including some note 5 ports. I don't need WiFi calling at the moment so this is exciting news for me!
Confirmed working for me on N910T
Here is flashable .zip file for No SIGNAL/DATA issue when running International N910F/G LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 roms on N910W8/N910T devices. Download link below.
UPDATE YOUR DEVICE TO 5.1.1 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
Instructions for NOTE 4 international ROM's
1) Clean Flash any N910F/G LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 TOUCHWIZ rom via custom recovery, dont reboot yet
2) Flash any custom kernel for your device (For some reason you wont get signal if using emotion kernal, use AEL multivarient for 5.1.1) Download here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347835280
Reboot Now. Reboot takes 10-15 mins. Be patient.
Setup your device and once done, reboot back to recovery and
3) Flash INTL. Data Fix, reboot
As always make a NANDROID BACKUP before doing anything.
Signal/Data Fix Download--
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8e3hlbd4h4zlhds/AABhwgZqHXHTbbMPHKSwRJARa?dl=0
For international NOTE 5 Ports
(ONLY FOR NOTE5 PORT ROMS)
1) Clean Flash Note5 port rom, dont reboot yet
2) Flash AEL Multivarient kernel, download from here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347835280
REBOOT NOW, Setup your device, once done reboot back to recovery and
3) Flash this new Data fix, (No need to flash any other old call or data fixes or edit build.prop)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5lkwqb88mvv7a3/NOTE5 port DATA FIX N910W8_T.zip?dl=0
I am running Dr. Ketan L11 Note 5 port with no issues. A few things some of you might run into.
1. Data fix for Note 5 ports changes DPI to 640. It will cause S-Note to force close. Need to change DPI back to 560 to fix S-Note. There is a built in DPI changer in L11 in app tray. I haven't tried changing just the S-Note DPI alone so not sure if that can work as well.
2. Data fix for Note 5 ports made me lose in call volume on Dr Ketan L11. A simple build.prop edit will fix it. Change the following to.
ro.product.model=SM-920T
ro.product.name=trltetmo
ro.product.device=trltetmo
ro.build.product=trltetmo
3. Make sure you edit your APN. For t-mobile use:
fast.t-mobile.com
Network mode you want to do 4G/3G/2G
Preferred Network mode LTE/WCDMA/GSM

Hi, for me on kyubi note 5 port, using the recommended AEL and with emotion r22 kernel will not work.
If flash rom and kernel, reboot, setup and then flash the new data fix, rom boots but with no data or mobile networks in settings.
If flash all together, then will get system errors all the time.
Can you please mention what option or procedure you use and your Note 4 model/baseband?
Update: Got it to work!
Works with the 5.1.1 AEL kernel not with emotion r22.
Flash ROM + kernel, and boot.
Let it settle for at least 5 minutes.
Setup and back to recovery to flash data fix. After booting again, no data.
Not sure which one of the following made it work:
First created a new APN.
On mobile networks, on the 2 network modes, changed to GSM/WCDMA auto and back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
Data shows up and drops.
Then on the dialer *#2263#.
On the 2 network modes changed to GSM/WCDMA preferred and back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
Reboot and so far after 4 reboots, data sticks and it is LTE fast.
My Note 4 model is N910T and with COG2 baseband.
Damn.. i cant hear anything when i receive calls .. anyone found any solution for this?

I did notice someone around the forums saying they were having issues with in-call volume. Are you hearing people on outgoing calls?
Also has anyone else noticed the pull down shade being altered after flashing data fix? You mentioned you are on kyubi. For me the pull down shade is different after data fix. The s-finder and connect portion doesn't line up with the top portion (quick toggles).
Maybe the data fix alters something in system ui?

On kyubi debloated, the same with the pull down shade after data fix.
Worked as advertised. However there are a few small little hickups. I used the new echoerom and the kyubi both resulting in a change of ui after flashing the fix. The lockscreen went back to the old note 4 style and had its text in the wrong place along with the pull down shade as stated by other users being slightly out of wack. Has anyone else noticed the lockscreen difference? Other then that Super awesome! Thanks for the find!

Yea now that you mention it the lock screen did seem out of place for me too.
Maybe @gaganmohal can shed some light on this? I'm just reposting info but maybe he is the source of the data fix file or knows someone who is.
I'm not well versed enough in these matters but hopefully someone can look into the data fix zip file and see what's being altered in the ui.

Try this
(ONLY FOR NOTE 5 PORT ROMS)
Replace the build.prop to the original one from the kyubi rom and edit these lines
ro.product.model=SM-N920C to N920T
ro.product.name=noblelte to nobleltetmo
ro.product.device=noblelte to nobleltetmo
ro.build.product=noblelte to nobleltetmo
Save the changes and reboot device. Let me know if that works.

Are you talking about the Mr.Ketan N5 port thats in the international N4 forums? If so I got it working using the 2 files that on the Kyubi Rom forum. This is what I did...flashed the rom then flash the kernel thats on the Kyubi rom forum, it should boot then reboot back into recovery and flash the data fix. I have the N910T and this what worked for me. I hope this helps
Yes i can also confirm 2 fixes work perfectly for N5 ported roms .. thanks @gaganmohal

HI,

Sorry for my English
Found a link through Bing but not sure who operates this site:

I received it too last week and posted in the rdf forum. I too haven't been able to find any info about it with. Sprint hasn't posted a change log either.
Update is available, but the update failed because apparently something changed my build.prop. Anyone know where to find unmodified files from the original version?
Is this version rootable? If updating a rooted phone, does it unroot?

It will fail and possibly brick your phone if you try to update with a modified system (root, custom recovery, etc). Download the OK3 tar from www.sammobile.com and flash with Odin. Then you can update to PL1. From what I've seen it's only a security update.

Managed to dump an unmodified build.prop from stock ROM. Did a hex compare to mine, only difference is 2 hex bytes appended, 0A 0A. I guess some app that needed root modified my build.prop and when I uninstalled it, it changed it back but not cleanly. Anyway, copied clean build.prop to /system, then let the phone update and it succeeded. Figured it wouldn't hurt anything as I could re-flash with Odin if it bricked. Lucked out and phone update succeeded. Now on PL1 and didn't even lose root.
My wife is traveling to Russia in about 2 weeks. Wanted to UNLOCK the phone so she can buy a local SIM card and use her phone while visiting. Called Sprint and they said they unlocked phone, but not sure how to tell what (if anything) changed.
Is there a method to SIM unlock (and/or carrier unlock) with the PL1 baseband software?

There is a program called GTUpdate2_v3.1.8.apk that can unlock PL1 on a rooted phone. I think it's not a free software, but someone posted a link to it on the forums once.
I think without root, the program should at least tell you if the phone is unlocked.

It might be hard to find as the developer has asked all links to it be taken down.
Got root using cf auto root and confirmed it with root checker and busy box. Also installed twrp through the twrp app and no brick yet. Don't know which rom I can install yet. It's been a while since I've rooted and romed a phone. Kinda forgot how that works, well not the flashing the rom part but if this Pl1 firmware will cause problems with a rom I flash lol . Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

The only ROM I know for sure that works with PL1 is mine... Wicked X.

I could not find the application, and when my wife got there, she's getting an "Invalid SIM" message on her phone. So she's going to buy a phone to use while there. Thanks for all the help in this thread!
Can anyone tell me where I can find current instructions to ROOT my Sprint Galaxy S4? It currently has the updated software (L720VPSGPL1). What I've found seems to be outdated.
I would also like to ROM using the Wicked. Sounds like it's clean and fast.

Odin TWRP .tar file for L720 from https://twrp.me then flash ROM or SuperSU zip from Chainfire's website (ROM is already rooted) in TWRP recovery.

I did try your rom 1st and I got bootlooped. Have been running resection 6.0 rom and haven't had any issues yet. I will try yours again. Not sure if I saw 2 versions of it or not, but if I did which one should I try. I like switching things up from time to time, but I used to like having at least 2 properly functioning roms saved to my phone incase. TIA

v11.0 is just a small update, so you have to flash the full ROM first which is V10.9. There is also the Bare Bones version which is just super debloated.
I'm confused on the versioning. Alphabetically, VPS comes before VPU, so I was thinking that "VPSGPL1" was older. Obviously versioning rules come fast & loose, but I'm curious what the VPS indicates that is different from VPU.
So then is this the correct order for different modems?
Code:
L720VPUFNAE
L720VPUGOD2
L720VPUGOK3
L720VPSGPL1
