Rooting fnk1
So this might be a silly question but after upgrading to 4.4.2 via samsung kies, I can't find a root method that will work for VRUFNK1.... I tried towelroot but it doesn't support my device. If I want to try this rom out how do I go about rooting my S4 VZW?
question for wtfchuck about empty vzw galaxy
after you did the Alternative Custom ROM Method: to update to NK1 and flash ss, super su etc, did you immediately flash the custom rom or did you let the system boot and reboot into safestrap and then flash empty galaxy?
thanks

Nevermind. I allowed the phone to reboot and i got a bunch of "Backup Assistant Has Stopped" errors. Apparently my data backup had something in there that was causing this error.
I went back to safestrap, wiped, flashed empty galaxy, flashed modules and booted into empty galaxy with no issues. apps are installing as we speak.

rotate_on_home
I couldn't get rotate_on_home.zip to work. I flashed it in safestrap.
Any tricks/tips/setup info for this?

** [ROM] Empty [VZW] Galaxy v3.92 [I545VRUFNK1] 1/2** system cannot be backed up
System cannot be backed up via Safestrap after installing empty galaxy v3.92. Safestrap always says "backup complete failed" (in red letters). Did full update to I545VRUFNK1 via directions on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613. Tried both methods, odin only method and safestrap method. Both worked ok and I am able to back up system via safestrap from here. However as soon as I install empty galaxy v3.92, whether doing a factory reset (via normal recovery or safestrap) or advanced wipe via safestrap or no wipe at all I lose abiltiy to backup system. Tried both Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01 and Safestrap-I545-3.75-KitKat-A03.
I spent hours trying to solve this and got nowhere. I can back up system on stock I545VRUFNK1 no problem but as soon as I install empty galaxy v3.92 via any type of wipe or no wipe at all I can no longer backup system. I can confirm I am on baseband I545VRUFNK1, Android Version 4.4.2 and using I545_NK1_Modules. I have tried every option under the sun seems the problem lies with empty galaxy v3.92.
** [ROM] Empty [VZW] Galaxy v3.92 [I545VRUFNK1] 1/2** system cannot be backed up
Fixed??!!
Went for a ride into the city this afternoon, listened to some Bluetooth music, changed theme in supersu, set correct time zone in safestrap
No major changes made
Decided to give it another go after like 8 hours of trying to solve this yesterday. System (and data) backs up ok now.
From what I have read in the General section for this device, you need to do the temporary kernel downgrade method to root NK1 with towelroot. ..
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah I did just that. Used I545VRUFNK1_I545VZWFNK1_I545VRUFNK1_HOME.tar via odin to upgrade to NK1 (came from CarHD 32.1S v2 NG6-NCx STOCK so unable to get OTA update). Once I update to NK1 use odin to flash I545_NC5_Stock_Kernel, run towelroot, then use odin to flash I545_NK1_Stock_Kernel. Then install supersu.
Honestly I don't know how I fixed it. My best guess is somehow having the wrong time zone in safestrap somehow caused a problem backing up system. All I know is now I can back up system ok (data too).
Thanks for the help anyway...still worth giving a thumbs up!
phone issue when connecting bluetooth during call
i have an issue that ive found. when i accept a call and then connect my bluetooth headset, com.android.phone crashes and i cant hear anything in my bluetooth headset. i can still talk on the phone and sometimes it switches to speaker. i cant hang up either even if i click phone again.
i managed to recreate it and recorded a logcat with catlog but i dont really know what everything is doing in there or if i caused it with an app conflict.
normally i have my bluetooth headset connected first and then make a call and thats fine. i just switched to this rom last friday or saturday and i dont think i connected the headset during a call since then.
thanks.
I am a bit confused over what is the purpose of the empty galaxy rom. Does it actually free up any space on the internal storage? My S4 seems to have about as much free space as running a full stock rom. What are the actual advantages of running the empty galaxy rom versus a full stock rom?
I love the work on this rom and enjoy running it. I am just curious as to why my S4 only has 6.5 gb free on the internal storage when I barely have any apps installed.

The current size of this rom is less than 1 gig. Current stock 4.4.2 is approx 2.6 gig so there is 1.5 gig saved... UNLESS...you are keeping stock rom in Stock slot and employing slot-1 for custom rom which means you have approx 3.5 gig in just rom. I run EVG in Stock slot leaving other slots empty and have 101 USER apps on phone w/ 6.5 gig left on internal SD.
Nk1 modules
Where can I download Nk1 modules?
thank you
I just wanted to thank you for this rom. It works great, and is the only one I've had zero problems installing. Are you going to be developing one for the lollipop update once it's released? Perhaps one that can be installed with safestrap so that we don't have to do the ota update and lose root access?
Problems with GPS and Keyboard.
Hi I'm still new to flashing roms and such. But I have a Verizon S4 with a FRESH INSTALL of NK1 Towel rooted with Safestrap v3.75, I've attempted to install your rom to my phone and it goes through fine. I have flashed the NK1 Modules. However my GPS is locked on PowerSaving, I can not switch to accurate. Also when I attempt to switch to SwiftType (Keyboard) it prompts me that it may collect data, I ok that and it goes back to Samsung Keyboard. How can I override these? I am having issues with "EGR_TWUI_321". Thanks for your help. If you need more information let me know what you need and I'll try to reply promptly.
So just out of curiosity I wiped my system and started over from a base NK1 then I went through the steps of rooting and Safestrap, but I installed the 3-4-15 version this time. And the above issues are not present. However I really dislike this one when compared to the newest one when it comes to theme and customizing. It's also not as bloat free as the other one. I still have Amazon music and NFL and even VZTones.... Any idea why the newest one is breaking the GPS and the Keyboard? I really want to run that one again =(

It sounds like you either done a dirty flash or your system didn't get wiped properly.
That or those apps are being restored from the Play Store. I could be wrong but I don't believe any of those apps are even in the rom.
Maybe a factory reset (full wipe) and a clean install would solve your issues.

Thanks I'll try starting over from base and seeing what happens and I'll update you. Towel is the app used to root the NK1 firmware, safestrap is the app that we who are stuck on Verizon with a locked bootloader have to use to flash roms. SwiftKey is a keyboard app from the play store. Or where you talking about my second flash with the 3-14-15?

Gotcha. I thought it was weird too still have them too. I just reinstalled the newest version this morning. Everything seems to be working now. Not sure what happened since it was the only Rom I installed.

So the other day my S3 gave up the ghost, and developed the hard-brick "QHSUSB_DLOAD" error. I have insurance so I was overnighted a new phone, and am sending the old one away. I believe this was related to a long-term power button issue I was having, perhaps a virus, or something. I had not changed anything to the ROM I was using since about October, and the issue just happened now in May.
At any rate, the new S3 I received is an MJB version, Android 4.3, Knox and all that other good stuff. After several failed attempts, I found a method to root this phone and disable Knox. The Warranty Bit is already tripped, so clearly I'm not sending this phone back until it hard bricks as well. I am trying to install the StockMOD ROM that is very popular, however I am being plagued by problem after problem.
I was able to flash a version of CWM Recovery onto my phone, but it was too old and couldn't mount any of the folders. Using ROM Manager, I was able to flash an update to my Recovery, and now it mounts and views all folders properly. However, when I go to install the StockMOD ROM, I continuously get a Status 7 error, something about "expects 5 args, got 3." I wiped the data, cache, and Dalvik, but kept getting this error. So, I had to recover my backup of stock, which didn't go well either. Once my backup was installed, all of my apps kept crashing. Gapps, ROM Manager, everything kept giving me constant FC errors. I had to wipe my data, cache, and Dalvik again and go back to factory default, and reinitialize the phone. Luckily I haven't installed anything of importance on here yet.
A quick search through here states that I need to use TWRP as my Recovery. I've flashed TWRP several times, first using the 2.6... version and then the most recent 2.7.0.0 version, and neither of these will mount any of my folders. It just gives me a litany of errors trying to mount the various locations. I've done Fix Permissions and everything else, TWRP will just NOT mount anything. Other folks say I need the latest PhilZ Recovery. I've downloaded the latest PhilZ Touch 6 and flashed it via Odin. It is giving me the same errors as regular CWM, Status 7, "expecting 5 args, got 3."
I don't know what else to do. My S3 that ran Android 4.0 was so much easier. I had that thing rooted and running a TW based ROM with Nova launcher in about 30 minutes. This phone has been a disaster since I turned it on. I'm just trying to get a 4.3 TW based ROM. I like the Samsung Camera, Calendar, Clock, Messaging, and Contacts apps far better than AOSP versions. But I also want much more customization to my notification drawer toggles. Stock TW doesn't have the toggles I use frequently like the data toggle as well as the torch toggle.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, because unlike a lot of folks out there, once I find a ROM I like, I stick with it. I'm not constantly updating, changing, or searching for the newest version of Android. There's nothing wrong with that, it just isn't my cup of tea. So does anyone know what I need to do? At this point, I'm about to just give up and use Nova over top of rooted stock TW and call it a day.
Thanks!
Have you tried to go back stock rom using Odin ? I think it might resolve your recovery problem

Everything is stock except the recovery. I'm using CWM 6.0.4.7 with PhilZ Touch 6. I'm still using the stock TW 4.3 ROM that shipped with the phone. The only exception is that I'm rooted now.
I suggest you to go back to a 4.1 official stock rom with odin to be sure to have no more issue.
This can help you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/restore-to-stock-rom-galaxy-s3-i9300-t2187081
Also, don't forget to backup your apps with titanium backup and all your sms :good:

Unfortunately, I've heard that it is not possible to revert to anything prior to 4.3 once a phone comes factory installed with 4.3, due to all of the security enhancements and etc. My kernel, modem, and baseband are all factory stock 4.3 MJB. Everyone else on the boards, under various other topics, warn of immediate and sudden death to the phone if you attempt to install a baseband prior to 4.3 MJB.
I'm very surprised to hear that, because recently i've flash stock 4.3 rom and then go back to 4.1.2 to flash a 4.4 rom without any issue and i've got nothing for issues.
Maybe it depends on which country you are ( i'm from France ) ? For what i know , there is a VERY little chance that this downgrade cause dammage to your phone

Tried TWRP?
The phone has been working great on Android 4.1.2 as I describe in the thread ( Optimizing [Rom][I605VRAMC3][4.1.2])
Found Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/help/rom-optimizing-t2817294
EXCEPT NOW, every time I boot the phone, I get a message that says All the APPS are upgrading automatically . I think the problem is related to me Using Titanium Backup to Freeze SDM 1.0 . The reason I froze SDM 1.0 was to stop the Nag from Verizon for a firmware update .
Anyone know what I need to freeze to stop the auto upgrading on every boot? It really slows down the boot time.
Thanks in advance
You probably did this already, but double check to make sure Play Store is not set to Auto Update apps. Can. be found in Play Store. settings. I don't believe that freezing SDM would play a role here, but I've been wrong before.

Hmmmm.... It's probably still working on updating apps that it started working on previous to disabling the auto update.
This might work..... Toggle off your wifi and data, then try going to phone Settings, Application manager, All Apps... then force close the Play Store and wipe the app data. Then open the Play Store again and it should go straight to settings area. Set it to " Do not Auto Update apps " and then back out of Play Store, turn wifi/data back on, and go back into Play Store and sign into the app again/change any other settings back to how you like them . I hope that will stop the auto update.

For a test,
I cleared data and disabled the Play Store, Turned off data and wifi . REBOOTED I'm still getting the same message while booting: Android is updating.......................................... ...................................
Now I'm thinking the problem is due to me flashing Gapps.
I flashed (HDPI / MDPI / TINY: gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) for Android 4.1.1 – 4.1.2 – Jelly Bean, from http://www.teamandroid.COM/gapps/
I probably shouldn't have flashed it on top of the official stock 4.1.2 Verizon ROM. I probably have two version of Gapps on my phone competing with each other. The quickest thing would probable be to re-flash to the OEM [Rom][I605VRAMC3][4.1.2]

Ok.... I just realized that this has nothing to do with the Play Store App or updating your apps.... Your actual phone system is optimizing at boot screen.... like this pic, right?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm not in any way a developer or expert.... this stuff is just a hobby for me...so please understand these are just my thoughts to hopefully help and not make things worse for you. With that said, I suspect you have an app or script (or something) that is doing something like wiping the Dalvik cache with each reboot, which is triggering your phone to run through the optimization process each time you boot. I am pretty confident this has nothing to do with SDM being frozen. I'm not sure about gapps with stock. Why do you need that if your running stock?

Sorry for being off base with my initial thought on your above post... It's been a long week at work and I'm tired.... so that's my excuse...
I hope you get it sorted out with what's causing your phone to upgrade/optimize apps at each reboot. I did a Google search just now and apparently, this is common issue asked on XDA. I found several comments from people saying they think something causes the Dalvik/Cache to get wiped on reboot. I also read where someone reported that flashing Gapps did the same thing to them. If you're going to flash a new ROM, that should take care of the problem when you wipe things for the new flash.
On the XDA forums, it's generally frowned upon to ask for ROM recommendations. But for me personally, I have decided to settle (for now) on Beanstown106's JellyBeans ROM Build 22 which is based off of 4.1.2. I think this was the last 4.1.2 based Rom (for our SCH-I605's) that he did for his JellyBeans ROM before he moved on to developing for 4.3 MJ9, so I think a lot of the bugs were worked out of it.
I love the ROM and I've tried out several others. I always end up coming back to it because it's really stable and (pretty much) everything works. And with Xposed Modules and his built in options, I can tweak everything to how I like it.
You can still grab his older JellyBeans ROM build 22 by going to the current Alliance Rom Thread here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447 ), and then going to the "Downloads" area right above the thread title. The ROM Filename is: note2_JellyBeans_B22.zip.
There's tons of great ROM's for our phone and there's so many talented developers..... so I truly think you have to read through the threads on each of the ROM's to make a decision for your personal needs... but I know that JellyBeans Build 22 is very stable if that's what you're wanting. If you decide to try out JellyBeans Build 22, let me know if you need help with instructions for flashing it. I saved the install instructions for future reference when I flashed it the first time last year, but I don't see those old install instructions any place now that he's moved on to developing for the updated 4.3 build.

Thanks and right on time, After I did my return to stock I thought I needed to wipe both caches' and the system to be able to do a Titanium backup.
I lost my operating system and Odin didn't recognize my phone, I was looking for a 4.1.2 zip file at the time I found your post. THANKS!

When you say you returned to stock, I'm hoping you didn't ODIN flash a full stock version of 4.1.2, because that would have relocked your bootloader and removed the custom recovery and root. If you were able to use Advance wiping features, you must still have some sort of custom recovery on your phone.
Hopefully, you do so you can flash a zipped ROM back onto it. If you've still got an unlocked bootloader and have a custom recovery, you may want to try to flash this root/modified version of "stock" 4.1.2:
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261478 ). It was also made by Beanstown106 and the thread still has instructions.
Also, you may do some Google searching to find tips on how to get your computer/ODIN to recognize your phone in download mode again... the most common tips I've seen are to try to uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers on your computer...and to try different USB cables and different USB ports on the computer.
I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed, but here are the original install instructions posted by Beanstown106 for JellyBeans ROM Build 22 if needed.
------------------------
"(INSTRUCTIONS) YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED
Step 1-
Make sure u are unlocked
Step 2-
Wipe all(factory reset and davlick wipe) if coming from an old build
Step 3-
Install the Rom (flash it in your custom recovery)
Step 4-
Reboot and Enjoy!"
-------------------------------------
Hope that helps. (Also, if Beanstown's stuff helps you... I'd encourage you hitting the thanks button for all his hard work )

Also, you may do some Google searching to find tips on how to get your computer/ODIN to recognize your phone in download mode again... the most common tips I've seen are to try to uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers on your computer...and to try different USB cables and different USB ports on the computer.
I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed, but here are the original install instructions posted by Beanstown106 for JellyBeans ROM Build 22 if needed.
------------------------
"(INSTRUCTIONS) YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED
Step 1-
Make sure u are unlocked
Step 2-
Wipe all(factory reset and davlick wipe) if coming from an old build
Step 3-
Install the Rom (flash it in your custom recovery)
Step 4-
Reboot and Enjoy!"
-------------------------------------
Hope that helps. (Also, if Beanstown's stuff helps you... I'd encourage you hitting the thanks button for all his hard work )

Thanks I used JellyBeans ROM build 22 just to have a system so that I could get to Odin. Then I did flash the full stock version of 4.1.2 then I used the Casual method to unlocked the boot-loader and reinstall WIN recovery and root. As explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/help/rom-optimizing-t2817294. ( I ran into some driver issues between Casual and Odin but they were resolved)
Actually I have three Samsung i605's.
I have one that has got all the Verizon OTA updates, never tampered with it's on 4,4,2.
I have the one we have been talking about I have restored it to the fully stock version of 4.1.2 with Root.
And the last one I am experimenting with DN3 (Ditto Note 3) for fun and knowledge.
doctor-cool,
That's great. Glad you got it fixed.
And that's pretty cool to have extra devices to work with. Must be nice.

Music from SD Card
I just flashed the rom on my e970 and everything works including the phone seeing the SD Card but I can't get any music player to read the music that is on the sd card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use sd scanner app from play store, that works fine for me.

Upgrading to CM12 Lollipop
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to Lollipop from this ROM and at first while flashing the CM12 zip i encountered the error "This zip is intended for gee, geeb" etc. So, I tweaked the updater-script and removed the assert and ran the script which installed the ROM but I'm unable to install the Google Apps. I tried with all gapps packages (minimal, micro, full), but none of them works. Can you please help me out?
Does this have anything to do with build.prop? Even though I flashed the fix to show as ATT e970, the CM12 updater-script identified this device as "geehrc4g"??Also, build.prop has some lines like
ro.com.google.cliendidbase.am=android-kt-kr
ro.com.google.cliendidbase.am=android-kt-kr
Do you know where can I find the exact build.prop for e970 (Kitkat)?

is all good w the e971 and this rom?
Hi, just wondering how everything functions on the e971 with this rom? Flashing roms is new to me and am so bummed to finally receive word from Rogers there will be no official update for this device which is in my opinion unacceptable buying a flagship device and getting only 1 update for it 6 months later when the phone manufacturer has updated it, I'm done with them, anyways some help would be appreciated as I need my phone to function properly, I am on official JB 4.1.2 from Rogers, I have unlocked the device to be used with any carrier, now I am planning on rooting using the zv9-zvb universal root method, i was then planning on unlocking bootloader using freegee and then using freegee to install cwm phils touch and then gonna install this rom, anyways are those the propper steps and if I so will all functions of my e971 work as they should with this rom?
Also if i need to go back will it be as easy as downloading paulicats rogers 4.1.2 zip and using cwm to install it and revert back? Any help would be greatly appreciated and if your ever in my neck a the woods I'll buy ya a beer. Thanks.
Working fine for me
This is my first android device so I was attempting this for the first time, I was on Stock JB. First I Rooted the phone(universal root kit), unlocked its boot loader(app from playstore), was taken to cwm, tried to flash the ROM it didn't work a status 7 error occurred, then I flashed philz recovery, flashed the ROM again and its working fine.
I am new to this android world so this may sound noob but is there a way to backup my apps only so that I don't have to re install them every time I flash a new ROM. (Will be trying a lot of roms from now).

I tried it by installing zip via cwm recovery but it says error in zip.
Flawless Installation
I just installed this ROM on my LG Optimus G E971 and the entire installation was simple and flawless. Prior to this ROM, I had [ROM][5.1.1] [GEEB] [Mako base] Unofficial CM-12.1 which is a great ROM too, however, I wanted to try something that was based on stock. I have the latest version of CWM for LG Optimus G E971.
This is how I installed the following ROM:
1. Downloaded the ROM onto my phone
2. Booted into CWM recovery
3. Wiped data/factory reset
4. Wiped cache Partition
5. Installed ROM
6. Rebooted
Once I have used this ROM as my daily driver for a while, I will get back and share my opinion and thoughts about it.
I stumbled on to this rom and I must say it is very good. There are only two issues I am having that hopefully someone can help me out with. The first issue is an annoying data network setting prompt that happens when I boot up which tells me that I will incur additional data charges. There is a setting under mobile networks that is checked called "ask when data connected" Whenever I try to uncheck it it reverts back to being checked. The second is under access point names. There are two other apn there that I cannot delete for some reason. Does anyone have any ideas how I can resolve these issues?

What exactly is your question? I don't actually see what you were trying to do and what went wrong.
One of the biggest problems that people have when trying to flash a 4.4.4-based ROM is that their bootloader is still based on NC5, not NH7. If you want to flash anything newer, you'll have to update your phone to NH7 before flashing a 4.4.4 ROM.
I put together this post when helping another person out on another thread. I think it'll work as a step-by-step guide for you:
I'll explain how to install a custom ROM and some common things to think about/check prior to installing anything:
Installing a Custom ROM
Step 1 - Gather Information
First off, you need to know what version of Android your phone currently is running. This is easily done by looking in the Settings Menu -> General -> About Device.
The Main things we are looking at on this screen are Software Version, Model Number, Android Version, and Baseband Version. I'll explain these (to the best of my knowledge) below:
Software Version:
This is the "type" of Android that you're running. Rather than quoting the entire name, we typically only refer to the last 3 characters (MJ4, NAB, NC5, etc.). Stock Note 3 devices will (most-likely) be running one of 3 different versions of TouchWiz (TW):
MJ4 - This is the last Jellybean version of TW for the Sprint Note 3NAB - This is the first KitKat TW version for the Sprint Note 3NC5 - This is the second KitKat TW version for the Sprint Note 3NH7 - This is the latest KitKat TW version for the Sprint Note 3
The reason that we are concerned with the Software Version is that between the MJ4 and NAB versions, there were major changes. So if you're running MJ4, you will have to do additional steps before flashing a custom ROM based on a newer version. And if you're on NAB or NC5, you will not be able to go back to MJ4, so beware what you're flashing.
For the most part, if you're on NH7, you can flash either a NH7 or NC5 custom ROM, but just read the ROM's FAQ to see if there are any issues with doing so.
Model Number:
Most people don't worry about this, but I always do when looking at a new ROM. The Sprint Note 3 is different from the Verizon Note 3, which is also different from the International Note 3. It's always best to double-check that the ROM you're trying to install is truly meant for your device. This simple check will prevent a LOT of potential issues you'll get when installing a ROM.
Android Version:
This is just an additional check to the Software Version. Always best to know.
Baseband Version:
The Baseband is, unless I'm mistaken, the "kernal" for the phone's cellular and 4G radios. Sometimes upgrading (or downgrading) the Baseband can help with signal strength and reception. Some users have noted that they got better reception on older Baseband versions. I haven't personally looked into it and the reports from other users seem somewhat anecdotal, but it's good to know which Baseband you're on.
The Baseband is independent from the ROM version, so you can run an older Baseband (MJ4 or NAB) on a newer ROM (NC5), and vice-versa.
The last bit of information you need to know is the Bootloader Version. The way to find this information is to reboot your device. When you see the text on the screen, you should look for the Bootloader Version. It'll be a long string of characters, but you're only looking for the last 3 (MJ4, NAB, or NC5).
Once you have all the above information, you should be ready to start the fun process of preparing your phone to flash your first ROM.
Step 2 - Backup your Media
First thing: Backup all of your media to your computer. If there's pictures/music/videos/recordings you don't want to lose, back them up. It's just good practice. Don't lose all your cat pictures because you flashed something and it somehow erased your internal storage. I tend to keep everything of importance on the External Storage, but there are times where even external storage can be wiped, so it's best to back up everything to a PC.
Step 3 - Upgrade your Phone to the latest Stock ROM (NH7)
This only is a MUST applies if you're running an older version and want to install a NH7 ROM. Most continually-developed ROMs are either NC5 or NH7 now, so the first things first: Update your phone to NH7.
Go over to micmar's thread and download the One-Click File. It will remove Root, but don't worry, because when you install a new ROM, it will automatically include root access.
Follow the instructions in his thread and your phone will now be fully upgraded.
At this point, your "About Device" should show the following:
Software Version: N900PVPUCNH7
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband Version: N900PVPUCNH7
Reboot your phone and let it sit for a minute so it can get it's bearings.
Step 4 - Install a Custom Recovery
So far, we've been flashing everything in ODIN. Now, we're going to use ODIN one last time to flash a custom recovery, so that you can flash custom ROMs without the need of a computer.
The most-commonly used Custom Recovery is TWRP (XDA Link). You'll want to use the latest version, 2.8.0.
Flash this in ODIN. You should use the "PDA" or the "AP" Slot.
Reboot your phone to make sure it works correctly.
Step 5 - Make a Nandroid Backup of your device
If you don't know what a Nandroid backup is, don't worry. It's basically just taking your phone as is and making a backup of it. In case you make a mistake or flash a bad download of a ROM, this allows you to restore your system. I always keep my backups on the External Storage (microSD Card), so in case I have to wipe my internal storage, it's not a big deal. You can also copy the files over to your PC, just to be more paranoind about your nandroid backups (rhyming is fun!).
You do this by restarting into Recovery (power down device, hold down home button and volume up while powering on phone).
Once in TWRP, go to "backup." Make sure the storage selected is "external storage." This screen will have various options of what to backup. I typically choose everything except external storage. Typically, backups range from 1-2 Gigs.
For me, backups typically take 5-10 minutes to do. In my opinion, this is totally worth it, since I can always restore a backup with no issues.
Step 6 - Install a Custom ROM
Once you choose your custom ROM from the Development Section, follow the instructions on the original post to install it. I'll give a general outline of what I do whenever installing a new ROM, but sometimes a custom ROM will have specific instructions, so you want to make sure to read the posts carefully.
Generic Instructions for Installing a ROM:
Download ROM and check the md5
Internet being spotty in my area, I always check the md5 to make sure that the file downloaded correctly. You can check the md5 using this windows program or using a file explorer on your phone like ES File Explorer. I always copy the ROM zip file to my external SDcard.
Reboot to Recovery
Wipe Data, System, Cache, and Dalvik Cache
This is called a "Clean Wipe," meaning it will wipe out your installed Apps and the data associated with them. Some people will claim that "Dirty Flashing" (i.e. not wiping the above) is OK, but I've seen too many apps Force Closing (FC-ing) when dirty flashing. Also, if you dirty-flash and encounter an issue with a ROM, the first piece of advice is to do a clean install. Might as well do that initially and hopefully not run into any issues.
Install the Custom ROM
Pretty straight-forward on how to do this... just click "Install" and then browse to the place your copied the ROM zip file.
Reboot your phone and run through the typical initial start-up information (google account, etc).
Once you get your phone set up the way you like (apps, accounts, wifi passwords, etc), I'd make another Nandroid backup, just so you have one where it's setup with everything you need. This will make any issues less painful, since you'd restore a backup that's already setup.
Step 7 - Further Considerations
If you ever want to try a new ROM, all you have to do is repeat step 6. Beware, though, people easily become flashaholics when they first figure this stuff out.
If you were paying attention to my "Generic Instructions" when installing a ROM, you'd notice that every time you do a Clean Install of a ROM, you lose all your apps... All of your Angry Birds 3-Star levels are gone!
Well, there are ways to get prevent losing that data... One is by "Dirty Flashing" (Not wiping the "system" or "data" partitions before flashing a ROM in TWRP). This is common practice among users here on XDA, but is typically frowned upon by ROM devs. I've noticed that a good number of issues on ROM threads stem from people Dirty Flashing. It typically causes more problems than it solves.
The other way of backup up and restoring app data (prior to wiping) is by using Titanium Backup. I could write up a long post on how to use Titanium Backup (TiBu), but the main things to remember are the following:
White line items are fine to be restored (both Data and Apps).
Restoring Yellow line items is typically OK (Data only).
Restoring system apps or data (red line items in TiBu) is typically a bad idea.
I've been using TiBu for the past 2-3 years and it's typically worked like a charm. Sometimes, when there's a major Android Update (like from JellyBean to KitKat), it can become broken, but the Developer is really responsive and gets it to work within a few weeks. If you upgrade to PRO, you can schedule automatic app backups (I backup all my user apps every night at 3am). You can also restore apps/data from Nandroid Backups (which is great if you do a Nandroid backup but had forgotten to update your TiBu backups).
In Summary
Whew, that was a lot to write... I'm a Structural Engineer, not a Software Engineer, so I don't know the technical side of things like bootloaders or basebands, but hopefully none of the information I provided was false.
Anyways, let me know if you have any problems with the install. I appreciate any feedback!

As I stated in my first reply to you, the issue is that your phone is still on the NC5 bootloader. In order for 4.4.4 ROMs to play nicely on your phone, you'll need to update it to NH7. This is also stated in my previous post. You need to follow those instructions to the letter (particularly Step 3) in order to update it. You must use a computer to flash the update file, as Mobile ODIN is not able to update the bootloader. You need to get access to a computer (work, library, friend who owes you $20, someone at Starbucks).
Until you follow those steps, I doubt any 4.4.4 ROM will work correctly on your device.

This is the first you've mentioned XPosed Framework... What exactly are you trying to do with it?
I don't know where you've gotten your information from, but I know for a fact that XPosed is compatible with all 4.4.4 AOSP ROMs as well as all TW ROMs. XPosed is NOT compatible with 5.0+ Roms. I'm currently using it on my "daily-driver" ROM, which is based on 4.4.4 AOSP.

Ok, lets get you to a known platform with your phone so you can use 4.4.4 TW or AOSP ROMs.
#1. Load latest stock firmware and software
[Stock ROM] Odin flashable N900PSPTDNH7Follow the instructions EXACTLY
Now make sure you boot stock NH7, let it get data and update your profile and PRL by doing:
go to Settings -> General -> System Update, then select Update PRL (wait for it to do its thing), then Update Profile (again wait for it.)
Now we know you're on the most current stock software available and we've updated your profile and PRL (preferred roaming list)
#2. Root stock NH7 acquired in step #1
Go here Download philz_touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5 (save it in the same folder you have Odin in from Step #1)Go Download SuperSU-v2.37.zipCopy the zip to your phone's sd cardUse Odin to put philz_touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5 on your phone (same basic steps you used to Odin NH7) - Make sure you UNCHECK rebootOnce odin is finished and you see PASSED on the screen, unplug your phone from your computer then press Volume UP + HOME + POWER and hold all 3 until the phone reboots and you see blue words "Recovery Booting ..." at the top of the screen - Philz recovery will startnow select install zip -> choose zip from /sdcard -> scroll all the way to the bottom and select the SuperSU-v2.37.zip file -> select Yesonce finished press back until you get to the main recovery menu and select Reboot to System
#3. Update SuperSU binaries
Once your rebooted, Open Apps drawer, open SuperSU, say no to disable knox, it will ask about updating binaries, select yes, select normal, wait until it says its finished.Now you are Rooted Stock NH7You can now flash any 4.4.4 TW-NH7 or AOSP hltespr ROM - make sure to follow each Post #1 instructions on the ROM you choose and of course backup before flashing anything new
I hope this gets you to where you want to be, good luck.

I am running the NORMA s6 port ROM on my Sprint note 3, it took a lot of searching and edits but I finally got my network to show up as Boost Mobile AND I have working 4g (working 3g and 1x too).
MMS, GPS, NFC all work as well.
I don’t have 10 posts yet so I can’t contribute on main thread, but when I get home later today I will post my build.prop for you if you’d like. It contains some edits at the bottom of it which were placed there from a “universal boost apn fix” I flashed from the “LG all things root” guide I frequented when I had the LG Volt.
After flashing this, and editing my apns.conf file to have the appropriate info for Boost apn, my lte started working and I haven’t had to mess with my phone ever since.

I am running the NORMA s6 port ROM on my Sprint note 3, it took a lot of searching and edits but I finally got my network to show up as Boost Mobile AND I have working 4g (working 3g and 1x too).
MMS, GPS, NFC all work as well.
I don’t have 10 posts yet so I can’t contribute on main thread, but when I get home later today I will post my build.prop for you if you’d like.

There are some more things that you will need to edit to enable all of the Boost mobile features for the rom. Specifically in CSC. If you need more info send me a PM and I can help you get your rom even sweeter!
I don't know if this is the right place to be posting this. So forgive me if this question is in the wrong place. I upgraded (with Odin v3.07) from 4.4.4 to NH7 (I believe) and then to OC5. Everything worked fine until I tried to install TWRP. It wouldn't work. It just refused to replace the stock recovery with TWRP. So I finally got Odin to reinstall the software (OC5) again after doing a factory reset and cache reset. After getting OC5 to work I booted to stock recovery. When I rebooted into the OS, I started getting before booting was complete, a message saying, "Unfortunately<An App> has stopped". Pulled the battery, replaced it and same thing. Has anyone seen this before, and if so what did you do to fix this?
Thank you,

I don't know if there is any missing info on your explanation. I did notice problems on the ota. I also noticed differences between ota and full odin tar. The first difference i noticed with the full odin tar is the android wiggled its antennas. The second thing I noticed was the initial setup looked different vs ota.
I was also getting system app stopped responding message. I was also too aggressive with titanium backup freezes. Things I used to get away with, were mucking up operation. Out of final despair, I decided to only freeze apps that showed up in the regular app menu, that I didn't use. So far, no force closes. A week or so has past and no issues so far. There area few apps that are showing up in play updates, that aren't in the normal app menu list, and I'm not updating them. The app isn't responding got so bad for me that i couldn't get fully booted to back up anything, and lost data that I wish I could have backed up. Oc5 is tempermental.
My latest snafu was freezing apps so much that settings didn't work. I unfroze everything and only froze apps that were in the app menu. Before I did that, wifi and wifi calling were forced on and a reboot wouldn't turn things off causing that state. That's why I said oc5 is very touchy when digging under the hood and stopping apps and services that you might think are bloat. I might disable ant, which is an app for monitoring fitness hardware, but I just leave it alone and don't update it.

FIRST odin CF auto-root. THEN odin the latest TWRP that supports your specific device model. SM-N900P. If Odin fails to flash TWRP by doing it in this order then contact the TWRP team and see if they can look into it.

Don't go freezing stuff willy nilly. There's no need for that and it will cause problems. There's too many dependecies and freezing the wrong app will effect other system apps/services. Battery life is great if you turn of services that you don't use.

Ofcourse. Give me a couple of days. Current deodexed Lollipop rom is being tested. Once that is done I can help you with these things.

Would it be better to ask for this in the Verizon section?
Galaxy Note 3 on 5.0 lollipop
Can anyone tell me how to root the Note 3 on Lollipop? I used Odin to flash oc5, but I lost root. I flashed cf autoroot 4.4.4, but that didn't work. Then someone said load twrp.img in Odin but pda slot didn't give that option. I am new to Samsung so bear with my inexperiance. I usually add on my Nexus devices. Thanks in advance Guys

Both methods should have worked for you, but just have in mind that you can't use the same odin from cfauto root to flash other tar files than the cfautoroot one, and also you won't be able to flash an img file using odin it has to be a .tar or .md5.
