Thank you :) I know enough C to probably figure it out. I'm glad to hear that it is possible to compile code on the phone with an app, I haven't used a PC for years to compile any kind of computer code, it's a lot easier to setup an android phone for that. I will give it a try. I wasn't able...

I'm very grateful that you let me know about the exploit code on how to use your own original CID and maybe sign the new 4.4 bootloader with my own CID. That was very nice to point me in that direction. Looks like I need to do a little research and figure out how to do that. Now I wonder though...

Hi, Thanks for your offer to help. I wish that would work. I'm assuming you have a retail version Note 3 that was bootloader unlocked with the CID conversion method, right? I can always do it that way, but then I will have to change my phone's CID, which is a unique number to the device...

from this thread/post by Hashcode, to install KK "4.4.2 Stock Root Odex/DeOdex [04/23/14]" by BeansTown106 on dev edition note 3: I have a dev edition VZW Note 3 still with the 4.3 (JellyBean) bootloader / aboot. Obviously I can't just flash the 4.4 aboot without locking it and turning it into...

I think if you make a safe strap backup you can always come back to it and restore if something makes you not like it. As for keeping your apps and data, I think whatever is on your internal/external storage stays untouched, but as for the apps, JellyBeans is different enough from stock...

I don't think it ever goes away on stock 4.4.2, maybe not even on 4.3, I've heard others complain about it as well. I think the only way to get rid of it is to install a custom rom. I am running JellyBeans build 2, it's pretty close to stock, and it got rid of that, it's only on when mobile data...

A very good question - A year ago I bought the Verizon Note 3 dev ed used from someone on eBay, I know it doesn't directly concern the Note 4, but I am planning to get a Note 4 dev ed soon, and it is the same scenario, so bear with me :) , the original owner had flashed some after market roms...

Great, thank you for clarifying and for the link :) I assume the stock recovery file for the same build version is the exact same between the retail and dev edition? That is something I've always wondered about, but this answers my question. I will try to simplify my question from the previous...

Thanks for your detailed post on how to install custom recovery and root! I would like to keep a copy of EVERYTHING that comes stock on the phone once I get a dev ed, because it seems like Samsung never puts out the stock files for the dev ed, at least for the Note 3 dev ed they didn't. It's...

The link you have posted to the thread that you used points back to this very thread we're in right now, lol, could you please correct it to point to the thread you used? Thank you

When TWRP makes a nandroid backup, whether on sd card or on the internal storage, it creates it inside several folders like /[storage]/twrp/serial_number_folder/... , the backup you made, is it still inside that level of storage folders? if you can get to twrp / recovery mode, it should let you...

Once your phone has been flashed with a newer version full tar or newer bootloader, in your case NC4, supposedly you can't go back to a previous version. It's fine to flash NC4 full tar if you're coming from jelly bean, but I don't think you can go back to NC2 if you're starting with NC4 kit...

The instructions you followed in the 2nd post wouldn't get you back to NC2. It just installs the NC2 kernel (or boot.img), to get back to NC2 you'll need the entire NC2 firmware (usually a big .tar file about 1-2 gb), including the boot, system, modem, etc... partitions. There is one catch...

If the stock recovery.img is the same for android 4.3 whether retail or dev ed note 3, would someone be kind and post a copy of their original recovery.img so I can try something on my dev ed note 3 with the stock samsung recovery? If it is different and the stock retail recovery does not work...

Is there anyway something can be changed in TWRP so it can do a single file image file backup of /system or /modem into system.ext4 or modem.bin, so those files can be used to make your own Odin flashable tar file or recovery flashable zip file, or is this not possible, and the only way to make...
