[Q] Need help with VZW Note 3 - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I rooted my brothers Verizon Samsung Note 3 which was on 4.4.2 NC4, Installed the safestrap recovery and have setup Hyperdrive on rom slot 1. My problem is when I try to access the stock rom slot it hangs at the Verizon logo. I've pulled the battery and same result time after time. I flashed a prerooted de-odexed 4.4.2 nc4 stock rom to the stock slot and it still hangs at the Verizon screen. Today I tried to do a factory wipe on the stock rom slot to see if I could flash another rom to it and it said it could not mount /system and /systemorig. Can anyone provide some info as to how I go about fixing this so he can have his stock rom back? Thank you.

Odin back to a stock ROM, non-rooted. If you want to, you'll have to start the root process from scratch.

That's what I figured the answer would be. I do have a 4.4.2 NC4 non rooted stock to flash. Thank you for your help.

One thing you might try first. I don't know about your initial problem getting stuck at the boot screen. But I tried the other day to do a complete wipe and wound up with the "unable to mount" errors. I had to go into the Mount screen in safestrap and uncheck all boxes, then recheck everything. For some reason, I had to click the System box several times to get the checkmark to show up. Might be worth a shot. Helped me avoid the hassle of having to odin back to anything

When I setup the 1st custom rom on the sd card I accidentally did a full wipe and after that I've been getting unable to mount errors like you stated. I will try that this weekend when I see him. Thanks again for the help and I'll report back with the results.

Clicked system for 10 minutes and the check mark will not show up.

Sorry to hear that. I wish I knew more about the error. Or the "mounting process" that seems to have failed. It was only by luck that I figured it out on mine. I was already downloading the files to odin my phone back and start over when I lucked out. Figured I would pass it along before you had to lose all you had done. But I'm not sure what else you can do at this point. Maybe someone else will chime in.

I was able to successfully recover from a "hang at the Verizon logo" soft-brick on my NC4 4.4.2 Note 3 by following the directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380 It seems like it might be worth a shot.

I tried flashing 4.4.2 NC4 non rooted and now it just hangs at the Verizon screen. When it boots up it still shows the custom logo under the Samsung Note III logo as well. What can i do or is it time to get a new phone? Thanks.

i'm having all the same issues you are... I cant even install new custom modified or non note 3 apks... you may have to factory reset one more time after ODIN.

I can't even get into recovery to factory reset it. We destroyed it. Lol. Just going to buy a new phone.

Replaced the phone but I'd still like to see if I can fix this one.
Does anyone have a prerooted 4.4.2 NC4 tar.md5 or other tar.md5 that I could flash in Odin? I have tried the stock 4.4.2 NC4 tar.md5 and it still just hangs at the Verizon screen and it just reboots when I try to enter recovery to factory wipe it. I have the 32g pit file already. Thanks.

I need help

Hello!
I had my S4 rooted and nandroid back up. I was trying to install this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316308
I installed it and gapp installed too and rebooted. I got this message appears
"System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone"
upper corner in orange says "kernel Failed"
That means I did something wrong?
I read about odin. Does Stock rom get you back to fully stock?
Thanks

Ok, I been reading some threads about recovery, I didn't relieze, i was away from s3 so long. I just restored from backup data and it boots into this stuck Samsung screen with custom unlocked logo. Bootloop?
Havent seen that particular screen but yeah sounds like your bootlooped. If.you can three finger back into recovery and have a nandroid i would full wipe then Restore your back up (even though people.say restoring wipes anyway..id wipe.if u.are using twrp do not format data!).if.your still looped you may have to try and odin back to stock.firmware can be found on sammobile.com had to do this the other night due to a bad nandroid..lots of fun lol.

Thank you!:victory:
My heart dropped like fainting ghost after I see the at&t software showed up. I wiped factory reset and goes past the samsung with unlocked logo into at&t boot up like new phone. It took 5 mins to get into welcome screen. All is working.
Now, I begun to wondering why my logo says it bootloader unlocked and I download correct at&t rom is in? I use this causal download from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
I am trying to understand and pick my first rom. Was thinking downloading pure google rom. Had to read again
That mod.will loki your kernel,prolly why it says unlocked. I.have the.canadian. version..unlocked already thank.god lol.
A.simple wipe can work wonders..if you can get into.recovery and have something.to.flash most times your gona be okay.
Glad your back in.business!

Flash another kernel made for your device, or go thru the ODIN thing, your choice. this is for anyone who have that triangle.
Yes, I read some thread and the roms need kernel, without kernel installed which was has leaded me into that warning att screen. I tried again with roms above link with ktoon kernel and made it through. I was probably be dumb. Pardon me, lots to relearn here.
I own iPhone 4s but I went back to android.

You should be able to get rid of that boot screen with the lock on it by using triangle away. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

delete em (un-install), junk, are you getting spam and such? Did you install those? Do you have any protection on your device? Just curious.
Thank you

I can't find them to uninstall them just to force stop and unable them. Not getting any spam but I have used 4shared and and downloaded some stuff that didn't work and just download to my storage. No protection for my device. Any suggestions? I haven't had an android since the mytouch on T-Mobile years ago and I'm still new to this.

[Q] Stuck on AT&T logo

Hi,
I am stuck on AT&T logo on my Galaxy S4. I had previously installed safetrap recovery and a ROM on it, but I am always using Stock ROM. I forgot about safetrap last night when I had to encrypt and use my device for work related stuffs. So, I factory reset my phone, I encrypt the device and after that I am stuck on AT&T logo. Safetrap still shows up during booting but I can't create any ROM slot, I believe it is because of encryption. Can someone please help me?
Your not on MF3, are you...
How long do you wait on the att screen? If you factory reset it. Sometimes it takes a long time on the att logo and it should boot up back to factory. But if it deleted important files you'll have to take it to best buy to get it fixed or run the new mj6 via odin but safestrap will be on it until you manually remove it via adb or terminal emulator.

Thanks for trying to help. I was planning to go to best buy but I tried clearing cache from stock recovery and somehow I got out of bootloop . Thanks.

[Q] Samsung GS4 AT&T Update Fails

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 through AT&T (which I'm beginning to think was a huge mistake). The phone recently was supposed to receive and update through AT&T update service. The update is about 730 MB and takes about an hour to download, however upon restarting and the update getting to 25% completion it fails and reboots. This wouldn't be a huge issue but my Gallery app has since complete stopped working and the phone is generally acting screwy since the failure.
The first few times this happened i eventually gave up and looked into installing CyanogenMod onto this worthless brick but I can't seem to find any way to get ClockworkMod Recovery onto it.
As of right now I'm sitting here with an $800 POS that I'm stuck with for about another year and 8 months so any help either getting through the update or moving to CyanogenMod would be amazing.
Yeah you cannot install that on your phone, even on MF3.

So does that mean I'm just stuck? Is there any custom ROM I can replace this with or any way to force the update through?

Have you tried Odin MF3 from the md5 thread in general section. If not give it a go and if it flashes you back to MF3 then re root and install Supersu pro to use survival mode and take the update again.
ROOTED ATT MK2 using Tapatalk
i had the exact same problem. i ended up backing my phone up with titanium, flashing mf3 with odin and then rooting and restoring. then it took the update.
I tried flashing back to stock with Odin and just keeping getting a FAIL! Auth message on my phone and in the desktop application

@uchua Did u try follow my thread for MK2 tar .....u can upgrade to MK2 from MF3 easily or unbricked your MK2. For guide on how to check on POST#2 with image guide....GOODLUCK....let me know how it go.....:good::good:
EDIT: Or u can try this MF3 tar. But remember MF3 and MK2 CAN'T install CWM or TWRP RECOVERY.....u ended up BRICKED.....U CAN ONLY INSTALL SAFESTRAP RECOVERY
Actually it ended up being that the .tar.md5 file I was using was invalid. Upon finding the right ones I managed to reflash the original image and update to MK2. So I guess now my issue is resolved.

i was following a thread to get CWM and eventually android 4.4.4 onto the stupid phone http://www.trueandroid.com/2014/07/update-at-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-to-android.html

I actually just let the phone sit at the recovery screen and it came back up.
I originally used towel root and rom manager to try and load the cwm software.

[Q]Help trying to flash

I am on OTA NC4. I used to flash all the time from the Droid 2 to the note 2. Many phones. With that,I am stuck. I downloaded busy box and installed with the app as well as with SS. I restart into SS and wipe factory then go to install and flash a Rom. It gets to 50% pretty quick, says successful after about 2 minutes. I reboot, get Samsung splash screen and all goes black. I even let it sit all night and nothing. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You need to flash the NC2 kernel to run a kitkat rom. The file and instructions can be found here. You can simply substitute the rom you are trying to install instead of the one in the OP. Just make sure it is based on NC2 or NC4.
Currently the only rom that doesn't require the NC2 kernel is the newest Jasmine Rom.
Good luck.
