hiya guys,
I've been having a lot of problems the past couple days..
I ordered my note 3 straight from Sprint. When I got it, I flashed custom recovery and flashed Freezas stockish ROM. The phone came loaded with NAB so I installed the
NAB version of the ROM, well there was some missing menus in settings, like tethering and such.. So I flashed stock nc5 and flashed his engineering boot loader. Ugraded my firmware to nc5. Flashed the nc5 version of the ROM and still the same settings.. No WiFi calling in settings, no tethering options at all.. I got curious and decided to flash KitKatkiller to see if it had the same problems, it was the same thing in the settings in kitkatkiller except it showed the ROM manager and stuff that was added into the ROM. But was missing tethering.. I hit WiFi hotspot in the toggle like I did on freezas ROM and it said hotspot not supported..
But josh's ROM is deodexed with that mod included.
What is going on?
Try this

Similar things have happened for me, I've found that un-rooting doing a factory reset back to stock OEM rom then rooting again and flashing your preferred custom rom fixes things.
Hope this helps,

I'll try that. Out of curiosity I opened a phone up at work to see if it had tethering on stock and the note 3 I opened had the same settings my note 3 has.. So I dont know what the problem is.. I wonder if those settings dont show up unless the phone is activated on the network.

Re
Yeah not sure about Stock rom if it had tethering setting or not I always flash custom right away.

Hi guys I know your problem.
Csc stuff needs stock recovery to be proberly applied in my experience. I can factory reset phone to different csc (XAS for example) and have sprint hotspot and usb tethering options removed from menu.
Set csc to SPR and power off phone. Power back on to stock recovery and you should see something along the lines of "applying csc SPR"
If menus have not been added at this point factory reset may be in order with correct csc applied.
Once you have these menus added in THEN odin the custom recovery you want.
Good luck!

Thanks for reply Idone
I used galaxytool.apk it shows XAS
Actually it(SM-N900P) is flashed to Reliance CDMA here in india to use it with RCDMA RUIM
Device is Stock, as it can be seen in status.
Someone told me that it is not activated on Sprint so no boot logo of sprint & no tethering & Hotspot option without activation on sprint,
My device's rom is NC5 Stock Rooted
I m new to all this, so pls suggest me step by step guide to get hotspot option.

If your phone is flashed to another carrier and you didn't do it yourself you probably just want to leave it how it is.
XAS wont display sprint boot and power down animations. The phone comes with 4 different ones. sprint, samsung, boost, and virgin that can all be set. XAS gives you the samsung one.(like debranded phone)
But yea unless you know the process to setup the phone for reliance or have someone who can do it again for you I would advise to leave it alone.
But if you are brave take an nv backup in dfs or qpst's software download (even better would be to dd these partitions [mmcblk0p12 13 &18]) and only then take the steps I mentioned previously with the stock recovery. Alternately get a nandroid from someone on the same software version. You will probably want to have sprintdm.apk removed to be safe. Either way take nv backup before moving forward especially if you don't know how to flash a phone to reliance.
**edit**
Go into apn's and write down your settings for them. and BE ADVISED the "enable hotspot" in my app is for phones on Sprint only!
Once you get the menu items added we (should hopefully) be able to enable them.

Hello Idone
Sorry for getting too late in reply!!
I have changed its csc to SPR through galaxyapktools
I have opened it selected SPR and tap install.
But nothing added in MENU(HOTSPOT & TETHER)
There is two folders added named Sprint & Sprint featured, But both are blank

I have changed its NV to "RUIM only" after changing it to SPR.
I have rebboted in stock recovery right now.
Pressed powe+volume up+home button
Get into stock recovery
Pressed power button to reboot....
But no luck....
Should i have to change CSC again through galaxytool.apk/Preconfigure/SPR/INSTALL?
It's now showing SPR as i can see in preconfigure.

Odin stock tar for the exact software version you are on now and then reboot to recovery. If mps_code is set to SPR before odin'ing the tar you will get these menus added.
Hello @idone
I have read in xda LG G2 forums that replacing carrier folder of unactivated phone with sprint activated devices enable csc features.
If this can be done with SM-N900P?

Hi,
First post on XDA so bare with me on this.
Have flashed my TELUS Note 717D with a few different ROM's over the last few days. With the news that Sammy will be pushing out official ICS in the next week or so I am trying to get my Note A$S back to stock including the correct radio file.
This is where I have come unstuck. I have all the correct files but for some reason I can't get my LTE back. Yes it was working prior to my loading new ROM's and also after I went testing. Had the soft bricking issue yesterday & managed to get that resolved but since then no LTE nada.
Loaded the full TELUS recovery (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585440 ) and then the TELUS kernel.
Still no LTE. I have the GB & ICS radio files & now can’t get the recover to load any zip files as I get a error at the first screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
I went thru this yesterday... i
I flashed the ATT stock rom/system from these boards, then downloaded the three part Telus file..when assembled its about 1 Gb...
After flashing ATT, I cleared dalvik, flashed the Telus stock.. Then i did a factory reset, and i was back.
I'm still running a non stock modem file.. But all is functioning.

getting LTE now?
Everything is working but the lack of LTE is missing.
I am in downtown Vancouver & out address has a in building LTE system so coverage is not a problem.
Can you confiem that you have LTE? do you have the isp.telus.com apn too?
Mike
still having issues
I can flash the AT&T ROM with no problems using odin. when I reboot into recovery I am getting a error that wont allow me to use the power button and select the reset option.
The power button works because I can press and hold to reboot the phone but the white triangle with ! mark is in the moddle of the screen. With out that I am unable to do the resetting & clearing of the cache.
Any thoughts?

Yeah.. Unfortunately my skillset definitely into the "knows just enough to be dangerous" category..
What 'recovery' is currently in the phone? Stock recovery? A CWM type recovery? I ask because I had an issue once previously where the power button wouldn't let me select items.. but I was able to use one of the four soft buttons on the bottom front of the phone to execute the same command. Once it was the 'home' button.. on my current recovery software it's the search button oddly enough.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
Do you get the Band preference menu?
What's selected? What happens if you pick 4 (LTE) and then 7 (LTE ALL) ?
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Lastly -- in the SETTINGS / WIRELESS & NETWORK / MOBILE NETWORKS menu.. do you have "NETWORK MODE" menu item that the stock Canadian i717 device has the AT&T device does not?
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?
knoxster said:

I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed which works but wont let me installed the radio file. Bombs out with errors.
When I flash the TELUS stock GB Kernel, I get the standard recovery which wont even let me see the radio file.
What happens when, from the phone dialpad after a normal boot, you key : *#2263# ?
I thought this was a At&t thing only? But that said I did try to the number and got a recorded annc saying that is was not a valid number.
Do you get the Band preference menu?
Yes I have the correct options and its set to use all the HSPA types & LTE too.
And have you done a factory reset on the phone after any of these flashes? (I didn't see where you had so I askl)
Yes I did the reset to factory in CWM after the At&t ROM flash and after I loaded the TELUS ROM too. I did had to load a different kernel to allow the CWM recovery but then installed the TELUS stock kernel after.
I'll add here as a postscript.. it may not matter ... if the update includes an updated radio file.. all this worrying over it may not much matter once the update comes?

Well, I have the same CWM .. I can't flash any of the supposedly flashable CWM modem files.. errors out part way thru. Weird.
I'm uploading my Telus Stock image that I used to Google drive.. I'll pm you the link once its up.
Sent you the links.
Also -- I managed to get the Bell Radio CWM file loaded on my Telus device from the thread located in this forum. (STOCK BELL thread)
There is now a Rogers stock thread and hopefully they'll have a Telus thread that will have a modem file that loads as well as the Bell one did. I can't imagine the differences are that great.
success
we have LTE!!!
Huge thanks for your help here. Flashing the BELL LTE radio file has now enabled the LTE in my telus note.
A little embarrassing as I work at telus but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Yay!... See? Occasionally the blond leading the blind .. something good can come from it!
Plus I managed to get my modem back to stock as well .. I was using that T769 modem that was tweaked for Note use.. and all the Telus CWM modem files I would try to flash in ...just errored out.
I talk to Rogers and apparently there's the 401 sim that's not lte capable. They told me to go back to the store to get the 403 sim with lte capable, maybe that should help fix the problem. I'll give an update tmr once I get the new sim.
Does anyone know where I can find the Rogers radio or modem file? I found the radio but it says installation aborted when I try to flash CWM. I flash the Rogers modem file and the log shows me a installation success but it's i717M which is Bell, not Rogers. Can anyone give me a proper Rogers working link? also, apparently Radio and Modem is the same thing, it's just people playing with words, or I'm I getting it wrong? Thank you.

you can always flash your modem using adb to push the back to the phone just follow this thread

Thanks guys. I'll stick with the .zip files to flash in CWM for now as I'm not comfortable with adb yet. One missing letter and it can fail to boot or whatever...
I ended up in the AT&T forum through scott's cleanrom link, downloaded and installed that version of Paranoid Android which worked minus the cell service.. I realized this and tried to install the Verizon version with still no cell service. I've flashed the Verizon modem, no dice. Recocevered with TWRP to stock with root and still no cell service. I was sure flashing the modem would have fixed it..
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I made the same mistake the other day except I flashed an N7105 aosp rom. Same thing it booted but borked my cell service. I had a backup of the stock rom that I restored to then had to go to settings, mobile networks and click lte/cdma and my service came back.

Hi everybody!
Yesterday, I applied a custom rom to my Galaxy Note and after a successful installation, my data plan wasn't working like it used to be.
I have to say this isn't the first time I have done this, and in the previous opportunities after flashing the rom and rebooting, the EDGE/3G icon appeared by itself detecting my data plan. I never had to configure the APN settings (like it is said in many posts I have seen here).
So, when I realize that it wasn't working properly, I re-flashed the rom but didn't worked. So then, I downloaded the ICS stock rom and flashed it through Odin, hoping it would reset all things here and would give me the initial configuration, but that didn't work either.
I have entered through settings and deactivated/activated the options related to mobile data, but that icon never appears or my data connection showed up.
Forgot to mention that this phone was unlocked through cellunlocker by code, and that I can make phone calls with no problem and also the Wifi works fine... And thank you in advance for any advice/help that you could make
If it's happening with different ROMs then take a look at your modem (baseband). Are you using I717UCLF6? Go to System Settings-About Phone-Baseband Version.
Like ^^^^ said, and you didn't say it, but I'm guessing T-Mobile. So flash any ROM you like, reboot and let but settle in, then flash the Blaze 4G or whatever T-Mobile modem works best for you.
You did enter your APN info?

This....^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^................g
I am in NO WAY affiliated with any of the ROM developers mentioned below nor am I a developer at all. I discovered this by trial and error and decided to share with the community. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything mentioned worked for me and me alone. I will NOT guarantee it will work for you. I cannot offer any support concerning why it will not work for you and NEITHER DOES THE DEVS AND THEIR VZW ROMs!!!! SO DO NOT CLOG THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEIR ROM WON'T WORK WITH YOUR SPRINT NOTE 3!!!!!
THIS IS FOR 4.4.X ONLY!!! I am currently on NC5 baseband so I have no idea if it will work with NH7. It should, but again, I can only speak for me and my setup. SMS, MMS (with 3rd party app to send possibly) and GPS all work for me. Calls are working as well.
EDIT: Ok folks, I have decided to go ahead and post the how to anyway even though I have gotten no response from any of the devs of the Verizon ROMs mentioned below. I assume they are working on new projects and do not have time to mess with this discovery. They also do this for free and have lives to live just like the rest of us. If at any time they want me to remove this I will, purely out of respect for what they have done for all of us. With that in mind, THE DEVS HAVE NO TIME TO SUPPORT THIS SO PLEASE DO NOT CLOG UP THEIR THREADS WITH QUESTIONS RELATED TO THEIR VZW ROMS WORKING ON SPRINT DEVICES!
What you will need: A rooted N900P Note 3 device with a custom recovery installed. I am currently using the latest Philz Recovery so I cannot say for sure if using TWRP will cause this not to work on your device. I don't think it will matter, but to be safe I can only speak for Philz Recovery right now.
If you are on TWRP and want to switch to Philz (many have suggested doing so regardless if you try this or not) keep in mind Philz is not being updated now ( I think ) so the latest build for KitKat is 6.12.9 as far as I know and can be found HERE for the N900P. If you don't know how to change recoveries you probably shouldn't be trying this at all. Research it and you will find out how to do it. Or ask around. You will also need to use a 3rd party MMS app possibly to send MMS messages. On Eclipse it seems to work using the stock Messenger, but on Alliance I had to use Textra to send MMS.
Step 1: BACK UP YOUR CURRENT SETUP!!!! I cannot stress how important this is with ANY ROM flashing or file changing. I have been caught with my pants down before and it really sucks when you have to Odin back to stock because you did not do a Nandroid backup. That is the main purpose of having a custom recovery like Philz or TWRP or CWM is to completely back up your device. Most or all offer EFS backups as well. Also keep a copy of said backup on an external device in case you accidentally wipe your EXT card. Don't think it's not possible, I have done it on other devices because I thought I was cool and could wipe real fast and flash.
Step 2: Acquire the stock kernel for your build/baseband ( Mine is NC5 ) in a flashable .zip. The NCS stock kernel can be found HERE OR you can use Lean Kernel 3.10 ( which I am using) that can be found HERE. MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THE HTLESPR version!!!
Step 3: Download the Verizon Touchwiz ROM of your choice. I have successfully tested this on Eclipse and Alliance. Eclipse can be found HERE Make sure you use the correct build ( 4.4.X ) because it needs to match your baseband. In other words, if you are currently on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 use the same ROM build that they offer. Eclipse 2.0.1 is what I am using. Alliance ROM is HERE Those are the only 2 I have tried thus far. Experiment if you dare, but the others should work as well ( in theory).
Step 4: Grab the flashable app APN Backup and Restore provided HERE THANKS TO FREEZA!!!! You will need this to get the Sprint APNs on your device. More on how do do this later.
Step 5: Take a deep breath. While still on your Sprint ROM, update your PRL and Profile for good measure because those options will not be in settings on the VZW ROMs. Relax, it will be ok.
Step 6: Boot into recovery, do a full wipe like you would any other time flashing a new ROM. Flash the ROM of choice, then flash the Sprint kernel of choice. If you do not get any errors, reboot system and wait...........and wait some more. It will take a few min for either ROM to boot. If you see the Eclipse or Alliance splash screen (boot animation) you are probably ok. Do not panic at the 3 min mark and shut down. Just let it do it's thing. You should eventually see the beginning setup screen. If after 8-10 min you still are seeing the animation it probably is in a bootloop. It may not work but you can simply power down and boot back into recovery and restore your backup, or try again flashing the kernel first, then ROM, then kernel again then boot into system and wait again. Just use some patience.
Step 7: If you made it to this step, congrats, you have booted a VZW ROM onto your Sprint Note 3. But we have more to do. After you set up wifi and gone through the setup menu you may see some Verizon related errors pop up. Just ignore them for now. Those apps can be frozen using TiBu after completely done as a cleanup measure. Boot back into recovery ( On Eclipse you will have to do this using vol up/home/power buttons because there is no 4 way reboot menu. This can be added with Xposed and Wanam later as well). Flash the APN Backup and Restore app ( this could also be done when you flashed the ROM I suppose) and reboot. which will put the APN backup & restore app into your /system/app directory and the SprintAPNxXML file onto your sdcard. Once done installing, boot back up and launch the application, Ignore the warning screen you get from first launch, then press menu and select "Disable ICS check." Once done, exit the app and load it again, then choose "Delete APNs" and select yes to the following prompt. Once done, go ahead and tap Restore APNs, and select the SprintAPNsXML from the prompt and select no to the duplicate check. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK THE FIRST TIME- Move the app from /system/app directory to /system/priv-app/ directory and change permissions to rwx/rwx/rwx and reboot. Then try to Delete APN, then try to Add APNs using the provided SprintAPNxXML file in the app. This will add Sprint APNs.
Step 8: Go into settings/more settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and choose the appropriate one for your area. I chose APN2 LTE Internet n.ispsn. You should now have data icon showing. This worked for me, hopefully it worked for you. I have seen it switch between LTE and 3G so I know it is handing off correctly. Make sure Network Mode is CDMA/LTE/EVDO as well. I haven't tested on the road yet, but will tonight. But it has been working flawlessly for me on local towers.
Step 9: You will need to add Sprint apps you were using, including voicemail. Install Titanium Backup and freeze Verizon related apps if you want. Also you will notice in settings your phone will show to be a N900V instead of N900P due to the Verizon ROM. Don't panic.
Step 10: Profit! At this point you should be able to tinker with the ROMs according to what the threads offer. I know Eclipse has it's own app to customize some things. But Xposed will work as well. I have no idea if Hotspot works or any of that stuff, I do not use it. Alliance has a ton of customization settings and apps built in, including themes. Some minor tweaks haven't worked, but most have. Eclipse has actual AOSP functionality baked in. ENJOY!! I will try to answer as many questions as i can, but again, please DO NOT clog up the threads of those great ROMs with questions, the devs do not, as far as I know, support this method and will not be able to help you with your Sprint device.
EDIT: When you connect to your PC via USB for the first time you may have to toggle MTP on and off to get it to be recognized in Explorer. It will most likely say N900V when you get connected. Also on Alliance a couple of Verizon apps will try to install on your PC. You can cancel them.

MUCH THANKS!!!
Sprint side: Freeza for the APN Backup and Restore app as well as all you have done for the Sprint Note 3!! LMMT for the NC5 kernel thread! Phil3759 for Philz Recovery for the N900P
Verizon Side: Nitroglycerine33 for all he has done for the community. My first attempt at flashing was an Eclipse ROM. Cannot say enough about what he has done! Beanstown106 for the hard work on all the Verizon devices and now along with Team Alliance they continue to dominate!
Multiple Devices: Imoseyon for his great Lean Kernels!! I have run them on every device so far. They just get better and better.
All the devs on all the devices deserve a huge thanks from all of us! Without them none of this would be possible!!
this would be cool to know, and give us more choices at ROM flashing time
Is it me or is XDA running real slow today?? Even on Tapatalk.
Anyway, so far I have SMS, MMS and GPS working smooth. Really was simple. No need to decompile or change the ROM itself. As long as the bootloaders match (4.4.2 to 4.4.2 etc) it works. Thanks to an earlier post by Freeza dealing with APN restore everything works thus far. Really hope Nitro gives me the go ahead to create a thread or at least post a how to with links to his site. If you want real AOSP feel on a TW ROM, Eclipse is the way to go. I ran this all the time on my VZW Note 3.
Also will be trying the same with a couple of other VZW ROMs I once loved as well. Stay tuned. :good:
Looks like I will have to post the How To here anyway so I am testing another VZW ROM now (Alliance) and if all goes well I will add the directions to this thread in the OP.
All the way to Chicago and back with no data issues. Have a hard time believing nobody knew we could do this.

I had no clue! I knew the devices were very similar but figured if it were possible to use VZW ROMs across devices, I'd have started months ago! Thanks for the How To, I'll be giving it a shot this evening. Cheers! :beer:

Cool. Hope it goes well. Must be the CDMA thing. At least it gives us more options. Eclipse is working so good I can't get away from it lol

Vzw lte b4 on/off
are you able to get new LTE Bands (4 ,13) so that n900p can operate on verizon network on MVNO?
or are you able to VZW LTE B4 ON/OFF to enable band 4 on?
This sounds awesome! Thank you for posting! I will have to try this out this weekend.
Latest one I tried was vn Rom 7.2 and Norma beta 6 both good.
Sorry these 2 are not Verizon but are for 9005 and they do work.

Like it or not...
It is best to clean flash ... each version ! ! !
Grow some and get over it....
I recommend to always flash fresh and clean... or you leave yourself open for trouble...
move /copy all important data to ext SD and/or PC... stuff happens especially if formatting.
wipe everything...including internal SD..(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to Format internal SD) AND FORMAT if coming from another rom.
Install ROM
do not install any apps yet....
let the rom settle about 30 minutes
Try out all the usual things to see if you have issues...
if not...
load up your app

Help?
Alright i flashed and got the rom working. Nice neet and fast. Wifi connected off the bat. and though all was good. Till i turned off the Wifi and tried to Text/Call/Mobile network.
Nothing.
goto Settings/More connection settings look for Mobile networks tab.
Not there?
i Flashed over from Priest Punch v1.1 did full wipe/flash and rom loads but that part is missing.
checked the Device Status and shows the Baseband/IMEI and all that is missing.
Flashed my recovery.tar.md5 file ive had since this is like the 4th time flashing this thing. Reboot.
Baseband is now set at N900PVPUCNC5 got my IMEI number too. but still not mobile network setting in the More Settings.
Edit: Flashed a OC5 .md5 and still nothing about to just reinstall again.
Edit2: Ok reinstalled and downloading a stock OC5 firmware going to take awhile to get it downloaded. the one i found was not a stock oc5
Edit 3: OK after installing N900PVPUEOC5_N900PSPTEOC5_N900PVPUEOC5_HOME.tar.md5 and then reinstalling rom i still don't have the Mobile network setup. when i Flash the md5 and restarted it connected to sprint and i had service but was getting Google service has stopped errors nonstop. so i reinstalled you rom and it looks like it flashed the baseband back to a previous version. no idea whats going on here.
After Spending the entire morning and part of the afternoon i have to give up and say that my phone won't accept OC5 baseband. I have flashed the stock OC5 update 5x and it refuses to change the Baseband to OC5 and seems stuck on NC5. I have successfully installed [ROM] [N900PVPUEOC5] [100% Stock, Pre-Rooted, Busybox, Deodexed, No KNOX] [6/11/2015] and it is fully functional but still shows the NC5 baseband. I am at a loss here.
Edit: Ok got it working. Had to do a Full system wipe from recovery. pull battery and wait 10 seconds. Boot up to Download and an Flash the new OC5. boot up and let phone start. and redo this 2x for it to finally take the OC5 after that root and install of Rom went easy without a hitch.
any help with this would be nice.
What is the "potato clock" in the alternate status bar...?
Also, will I have to program a home button function?
Where is the roaming setting at in this rom and how do i actvate it i flahed the update already still cant find it ive even been comparing to my wifes s6 no lick any help would be great
Is this ROM deodexed?
I cannot get my network to work. I switched it to CDMA/LTE but my Sprint APN service is unchecked. Its also greyed out so I can't enable it. I tried that one thing when you add something to your build prop but that also didn't work. It just madr the settings disappear. When I finally found my Access Point Settings it still didn't work all I could do was add another APN but it would be unchecked and greyed out. Can anyone help CM12.1 won't let me use my Gear 2 and it's just making me waste 199.99(bought it on no tax day)

Is it recommended to not log into Google until after the first 30 minutes to prevent the apps from automatically downloading and installing? Also if so, once I log in will they start or will I need to go in and install one by one?
