Looking for the Stock Rom - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title states, I have a samsung galaxy note 3 w/ verizon as my carrier.
I've looked around, I've found one site that provides, but I have to pay for a membership, which I get it.... but I don't have the money to spew at something i'll only use maybe once in my lifetime lol.
Anyone know where I can get a stock rom (preferably the OF1) for my samsung? Also, flashable with ODIN? thanks!

A free account is sufficient. If you have troubles downloading,
(a) make sure you have turned off ad-blockers in your browser
(b) make sure you are logged in to the site.
I've only used sammobile.com from a PC (there is always a possibility that using a mobile browser adds additional difficulties)
PS. For folks looking for custom recovery flashable Stock ROMs (rather than Odin-flashable) see here.

[Q] Virgin Mobile Stock ROM?

I have a Virgin Mobile S5 - and was thinking of rooting it and a recovery also.
My ROM G900PVPU1ANE5
I see in the Sprint S5 area it will work (I did similar with my VM S II)
Anyway; is there a way to get a backup of my Stock ROM? - There are no V.M. ROMS in the lists (or anywhere I look for that matter) except Canada and it is different.
I wondered about something like Rickys Rom Kitchen to get a ROM BU - I will read that post and see if I can make any sence of it all.
I ask, just in case something was to happen - and without a Stock Virgin Mobile ROM I could not get it back to stock.
FWIIW - My S5 does not seem to have anything Knox on it -
Edit - when installing recovery - it reported knox
There are dozens of firmware repositories, not to mention a links to a lot of firmware on this site. It's difficult to believe that you did a decent search and couldn't find any stock firmware for your carrier.
Tell us what sites you have checked and what keywords you searched with and no doubt someone will be able to point out a site you missed.

and maybe a couple others i did not see quickly in my history
I searched with many terms;
Galaxy S5 ROMS
Galaxy S5 Firmware
Virgin Mobile Galaxy S5 ROMS
G900PVPU1ANE5 <-- Sprint has same number (But theirs is branded Sprint and will likely show a Sprint Splash on boot)
(As I had this same type thing with my Galaxy S II from Virgin Mobile a good while ago and had to use a Sprint ROM)
I will be a VERY happy camper, if someone can find a site I missed! (With my V.M. ROM/Firmware on it)
Since you gave details of actually having searched (most people claim they have, but really didn't), I did some digging for you.
The reason that you are having difficulty finding stock Virgin (US) firmware is because Virgin US is a Sprint MVNO (Virtual Network Operator) that is wholly owned by Sprint since 2009. This means that Virgin US uses the Sprint network and is supported by Sprint vis a vis the Virgin US offices in New Jersey.
As a MNVO, Virgin US uses the same S5 variant as Sprint, the same MCC and the same firmware. Only the CSC, MNC and APN info (and a few branded apps) vary. Moreover, since Sprint is using multi-CSC firmware, the firmware is often tagged as SPR (Sprint) or Unknown when it actually is the original, stock firmware for Sprint, Virgin US and Boost (another Sprint MVNO).
So the original firmware for your phone is in fact the Sprint version. If your phone currently has Virgin US firmware on it, then installing the multi-CSC firmware should retain your correct CSC. If it was me, I'd just do a quick check afterwards.. your CSC should obstensibly be VMU.
SPR = Sprint
VMU = Virgin US
BST = Boost Mobile
.
Tkx for the details ffft
I may just go ahead and root it - and put a custom recovery on also.
I rarely have had issues with my cell phones (Warranty that is)
I just would feel better if I could restore it.
I do not know much at all about Cell Phones and the terminology (I looked up a few of them you have here)
I just found a way to check these (by *#1234# ) and came up with:
AP G900PVPU1ANE5
CP G900PVPU1ANE5
CSC G900PSPT1ANE5
I do not know what the AP and CP are but at least I can check them
AP firmware version
CP radio version
CSC sales code (region or carrier code)
The long CSC is a bit cryptic. But you can use an app like Phone Info to get the more commonly used three character code. Or if you are rooted, you could look at the build.prop file.
.
OK I installed PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch (Recovery) without root.
Then I did a full back up
and also found a "Clone ROM" and did that also
(it makes an update.zip)
Now I "should" be able to root - and if something happens flash the ROM I made with PhilZ's CWM
** See below Post - it does not stick when not rooted (Unless I did something wrong)
OK I rooted (CF auto root)
And I still show the Virgin Mobile splash
I did have some problem with PhilzCWM until I rooted - it would not "stay" there
I could run Odin and install it and one time boot to it and do back ups
But next boot it was gone
After I rooted - I re installed it - and it "stuck"

All normal behaviour.
Glad you got there. Everything runs better with root The objection to your custom recovery before you rooted was no doubt Knox seeing it as an unauthorized change.

Great thread
Really loving your thread. I just came from a broken s4 to Virgin mobile s5. I understand Odin/root/rom installs/returning to factory stock to update etc...
Obviously Virgin Mobile s5 threads are limited here and would like to work together and update each other.
I got root without tripping knox "not cf autoroot method" but "towelroot" method.
First thing we need to work on is getting the .tar file for odin to return to factory stock if something happens.
With all the updates that will probebly be rolling in soon im reluctant to install a custom recovery because you can't update it "over the air."
Second thing is i have no idea to get a official thread going.
Other thought
I orginally came from a Virgin Mobile Evo 4g 3D and the ROMs was aroma based. There was a specific setting if you had a sprint or virgin mobile phone during the installation. I believe it's about having to change APN settings and whatnot. Need to research this Sprint/Virgin Mobile/ROM duo more and what exactly needs to be changed.
Im confident the Sprint ROM itself is good. Just particular settings, one for example, the APN needs to be switched back to whatever Virgin Mobile is.
Interesting tid-bit the Phone info app shows my Samsung s/n as 00000000000 now
No Country of Origin
Knox Warr = 0x1 (Does that mean knox is tripped)?
Product Code: Not Active
I noticed that there does not seem to be a s/n on it - except for the MEID (hex and dec) and a ICC ID
I updated with Kies 3 to G900PVPU1ANK4
This (natrually) made my Virgin Moblie S5 Stock again.
Then did both CF auto root and PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch (Recovery)
And it all seems to work fine again.
HELP PLS

I need your help desperately! I just got my virgin mobile s5 yesterday and I am new to running Custom ROMs. I rooted it and successfully installed PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch. From here I think I skipped a step in CWM to make a proper backup (yeah I'm that noob). Well I successfully installed Slimkat and got it to run on my phone, but I couldn't configure the APN properly on virgin mobile after countless installations of different "universal fixes" for the vmu apn. Now I can't get it back to the stock firmware! I am downloading the sprint firmware right now, specifically the G900PVPU1ANE5_G900PSPT1ANE5_SPR.zip. I couldn't find virgin mobile stock firmware. Do you think it will work if I flash it on there? If not, do you happen to have a backup to the G900P virgin mobile version I could flash? I just need service again.

Make sure your computer sees the S5
Not sure what else to try.
I have never found a VM S5 Stock ROM
I do not have a stock ROM BU.

Okay I'll still try a few things. Do you have any backups or know of any roms that for sure work with the virgin mobile data service? I am just running into a bunch of issues with slimkat and if you knew a rom that was compatible with Virgin Mobile and this model of s5 I could have mobile service again! especially if you knew the steps how to do it

Ahh yes I also took these steps to root and download a custom recovery on my phone, which I succeeded in doing. Perhaps I haven't made my problem clear. I have PhilZ installed and everything along with a rooted phone. I am currently running Slimkat but I do not have any mobile service so the phone is useless at the moment. My issue is is that I have no ROM backed up. And look, I'm sorry to pester you like this but at this point I would honestly offer you monetary incentive if you help me resolve this. I'm pretty desperate :silly: I saved up for a long time for this phone and I would really like to use its cellular functions. What ROM do you currently use on your phone and what steps did you take to get mobile service working on it? Thank you very much for your time

[HELP THREAD] Australian i9505 Users Region-Specific Help

Okay! I've been on this board for almost seven years, with phones ranging from a HTC TouchPro through to my current Samsung Galaxy S4 International GT-i9505. The ROM I'm on right now is (with thanks to AntaresOne) cm-12-20150315-OPTIMIZED-jflte, available from his thread, below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2943934
Everything works well - it's fast, has great battery life, the images, screen, text, video all look great, the sound for a phone call is clear and loud, ringtones are loud, the Bluetooth works with my Fusion car stereo and I can play video from it to my Samsung LED TV via wi-fi.
The intention of this Helper Thread is to have somewhere just for Australian users with Galaxy i9505's or i9505T's (the Telstra model) ONLY. That way, the discussions and advice shared is much more 'region-specific'.
On that note, I'll share my experiences with how to get the best out of your phone. Firstly, may I just say please read through these instructions carefully before coming to me with questions. I have spent the best part of five years tinkering with an i9000, then a i9100T, now a i9505 International. Also, there's heaps more help and advice to be found here on XDA-Developers, sammobile and a number of other Android forums, so I've always found it best to research as much as possible to take the very best information that actually works. No question is too stupid, unless you ask one that's been answered a thousand times already, like...
What's the best ROM?, What's the best modem?, How do I root my phone?, and Will rooting void my warranty?
And so, we start afresh with a Galaxy i9505, also known as jfltexx. Back up all your photos and music to your PC, and you'll find any number of apps on Play Store to backup your text messages and call logs. Titanium Pro is the best. It does need root access, but fortunately there are a couple ('SMS Backup & Restore' is one) that you don't need root to use. Seeming though 99.99% of everything you can do to upgrade your phone is best off being done with a clean slate, trust me when I tell you - BACK YOUR STUFF UP AND FACTORY RESET THE DAMN THING!
The most important step - BACKUP YOUR DEVICE'S EFS FOLDER!!! This is a location where information pertaining to your device's IMEI number and Country Code etc. are stored, and this folder can sometimes be wiped when you flash a new ROM. From Lollipop onwards, the way that's done is a bit different, but again there's plenty of apps and methods out there that will do this backup for you. Thing is, most often you'll need to be rooted, so...
You'll find throughout XDA a number of device-specific threads and posts about how to gain root access on your device. The fastest and easiest way to perform this task is to go visit Chainfire...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803
The specific file you are looking for is called CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip. You use a nice little program called Odin - which just happens to be included in the package you've just grabbed - to 'flash' that into your phone. Yes yes yes, this voids your warranty and trips the Knox flag. Sadly, as much as you might find people who say that it can be reset, KNOX CANNOT BE CHANGED BACK ONCE IT'S 0x1!
Next, go and check out flatzki's thread at...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9505xxuhoa7-odin-files-100-t3043983
He's just got his hands on the Android 5.0.1 Lollipop Stock ROM for the International Galaxy S4 LTE, jfltexx. Thank him while you're there, and grab the ZIP file I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7.zip. Create a New folder on your Desktop, then (using WinRAR or 7ZIP) extract the contents of the ZIP you downloaded into that folder.
Once you've done that, you'll be looking for a way to get rid of the 'dreaded' Yellow Triangle. Go check out...
chainfire's TriangleAway Thread
and follow the instructions from the Master himself. Grab the TriangleAway-v3.26.apk from the link at the bottom of that post, and throw the man a Donation - the guy reigns supreme with these devices and deserves every bit of credit for the support he gives us all.
Next, go and find yourself a ROM. AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ones are the best. The origins of AOSP ROMs are Google's original Android source code, so you're getting the base code of the OS exactly as the Original Programmer intended. Samsung (and other OEM's) then get their grubby little hands on that code, then go to town making it control their hardware in the manner they want.
Now, there's two lists of Custom ROMs for the i9505 that are shared here on XDA:
For tweaked and altered versions of original stock AOSP ROMs, visit the Galaxy S4 i9505 Android Development section.
For custom ROMs that are pretty much 'outside the box', and built from scratch by individual developers or groups using Android source code, visit the Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development section.
No matter what you decide to 'flash' in, if you have questions about the ROM itself, how to flash it, or anything else about that particular release, ask them of the ROM Chef in the thread where you got it from. They're the ones who cooked it, so they've already gone through the trials and errors and successes of getting their ROM working on an i9505, making them the best guys and gals to ask if you have dramas with the ROM. 99.9% of the time the ROM Chef's thread will have in the first couple of posts Instructions on How To Flash, FAQ's, known issues, etc.
The advice I give everyone regardless of what device you have is, Back the damn thing up first - it's called a nandroid backup, Google it - and make sure you clean all traces of the old firmware out of your phone thoroughly. More often than not, the dramas people have when they get up and running on a newly flashed ROM (or, issues in restarting the device after a flash) can be directly attributed to remnants of the old ROM interfering with the new. This is especially so for flashing via Recovery. If you use Odin to flash a Stock firmware, it pretty much smashes its way over the top of whatever you've got installed, and gives you a fresh palate to work with.
Now, if you're having issues with carrier network connectivity, call quality, mobile internet etc., it could be either your network APN (Access Point Name) settings or your ROM's 'modem' package. APN settings are within the phone's Network setup menu. The best list of Australian carrier APN's I've found is at Ausdroid Forums. Modems are a sort of 'try them until you get one you're happy with' kind of thing, and if you're still in the dark, go and read Formhault's post about the subject at...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50787570&postcount=2549
My advice when it comes to modems is, grab a couple of CWM-flashable modems and take at least two days of testing each until you get one that gives you enwhitenment.
Hope that gets your device running smikko, and if you're that stuck you need a bit of special attention, PM me. Lastly, make sure to click on the Thanks button if you got help from this tutorial...

Definitive Note 3 Modifications

Hi All,
New to the forums, new to android, and new to phone modification. I've unfortunately been iPhone for the last 6 years (3GS, 4s and 5s). With my contract coming to an end I wanted to go contract free with a sim only deal and have bought a note 3.
I've been doing sum reading, well a lot actually, and there's conflicting information coming from limitless sources across the web. So as this forum seems to be the highest regarded I was hoping you guys with the knowledge could help me out. I'm semi-handy with a computer and as long as there's a fairly decent guide out there I'm happy I can root my phone and install a rom without too much hassle.
My question is what is the definitive recommended modifications for a note 3? I'm a fairly heavy user and run my entire life from my phone. 90% of my gaming, all of my communication (calls, texts and emails) as we don't own a house phone, all of my banking, 50% of my film/TV watching, all of my book reading etc etc and what I'm after is a rom that'll strip away any bloatware, improve the speed of the device to the max and hopefully extend battery life.
And if there any other additions everyone recommends that'd be welcome as well!!
Is there a group decided upon definitive mod list? Thanks in advance! Should mention my device is UK-N9005 4G LTE and is network free but will most likely be having a giff gaff (O2) sim.
I'd recommend you to use AryaMod ROM. It's based on Stock Lollipop with loads of customizations (mods).
The ROM thread has all instructions to guide you.
And you'll have to flash TWRP first and after installing the ROM (via the steps in the thread), you can search and download Lean Kernel 6.3 (which is again a thread in Development forum) and flash via TWRP and it gives good battery life.
Cheers dude. Do I need the rom and the kernel together?
So flash twrp, then rom, then twrp again, then the kernel ?
Yes. Read the ROM thread carefully. After installing TWRP via ODIN. You'll need to push 2 files via ODIN again. And you're good to flash the ROM. All the files are in ROM thread. All you need is to install Samsung drivers and download TWRP for N9005 from twrp.me
I think isn't necessary to change the kernel of this rom...
AryaMod is good, Darklord is good.
The problem, if you start, never stop ! kkkkk

If you use your phone very heavily, like i do. I would always suggest an official rom as you are sure to have a stable device.
I am on giffgaff in the uk too.
Find the latest BTU, UK rom from sammobile.com and flash it with odin v3.10.7
If you are on windows 8.1 and above, the samsung usb drivers will come up in windows update after plugging the phone in atleast once, be sure to install them and restart your machine before going into download mode and flashing the latest rom.
If you want to root.. update the firmware like that and flash TWRP then SuperSU in recovery. This will obviously trip your knox to 0x1
If you need any help i will provide the links you need.

cheers everyone, received the phone in the mail today so going to try this rooting business first so I have nothing to lose if I balls up. I haven't put my sim card in it yet, do I need to prior to rooting or can I do it all without inserting my sim?

You can do it all without a sim, after you have rooted.. probably a good idea to do an efs backup and copy it somewhere safe, on your pc or something.

@dipankar.c2bs
You might look into getting your CSC "sales_code" changed. I'm not sure if that is entirely the problem, but it is likely related. Even the USA Verizon ROMs come preloaded with databases that are used to provide custom parameters for a variety of carriers and locations world-wide. (See the file /system/csc/imsprofile.xml for example) I suspect the way this information is actually used is through the "sales_code" CSC value, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
I'm guessing you want "INS" or "INU" instead of VZW
What you currently have:
Code:
getprop | grep -i csc
If your handset is supported by Airtel, one of their technicians will probably know how to do the CSC change, possibly without even rooting the phone.
If it not supported, they probably will be under orders of their employer not to help you at all. But, is is easier for them to give you advice face-to-face, rather than over the telephone (subject to monitoring), if that is possible.
A question to ask - a form of social engineering - is this: "do you know of someone in the area that can help me for a small fee?"
[EDIT]
There is one other possibility for a non-rooted phone. I really don't know if this would work (I am speculating here), but the basic idea is to apply a CSC for a closely related device Model (a SM-N90???? Qualcomm model, hopefully for CDMA/LTE) that is for your country and carrier on top of your existing ROM using Odin. Get the CSC file from Sammobile, and:
- wipe the entire phone using the stock recovery. (You can remove the external SD card first if you like)
- boot the phone, shut down, boot into stock recovery.
- wipe the entire phone again in the stock recovery
- boot into Odin and flash the CSC in the CSC slot.
- boot the phone; do a minimal configuration and see if you have the service you want.
Note that @donc113 s advice given above is the right place to start: ask your service (Airtel) to help you before you try anything yourself.
good luck.
when i purchase it was good... there was 4g indicator also.. no verizon boot screen.. but now it dont works..

One of your friends who installed the stock ROM apparently didn't understand the consequences of what he did. Stock ROMs set the APN for Verizon. Did this friend happen to make a backup before he did the ROM switch?
