@ryanbg, I flashed The JasmineRom , in settings the kernal version says>>( 3.4.0 [email protected]), should I still flash the kernel ? in the link >>http://d-h.st/VwP that you were so nice to provide me and others. I also have SS 3.75 installed and the app says safe strap system : not active , so now I have to go into the app in order to boot into recovery, how do I activate SS so that I can go boot into recovery in the shut down menu ? I thank you for your help and advice @ryanbg
What is the build date? If it's from April, that is NC4, if it is from March, that is NC2 (the one we want.) If it says April, you will want to flash the link I provided.

Thank you so much for this info. I've bee wanting to make the jump to NC2 or NC4, I've just been hella lazy the past few months. Once Hash gets a stable safestrap version after 3.75 beta, then I'll prolly make the leap. :D

Hash has updated 3.75 twice. I'm using the latest version and it's flawless for me. Slots are working great also.. just fyi. Lol

Really bad question.

Can I downgrade to 4.3 JB or lower once I take the 4.4 KK OTA update? Can I use odin or something to flash stock 4.3 JB firmware?

Man

No way. If u take ota ur stuck on kk. If u upgrade to kk via the leaked nc2 method then u can go back to 4.3.

I've gotten the best battery life ever on this phone with kk. Over 7 hrs of on screen time. Have u tried a different modem and flashed a custom rom?

You have a mis-configured ROM or Apps. Don't blame KK.
Okay so this is with stock rom- or custom rom- doesn't matter- i keep everything how it is after i flash too and still having battery drain. i de-bloat, freeze, hibernate, tweaked CPU and voltage profiles it still has poor battery life- honestly it is probably the phone. Might have been water damaged at one point or something like that. I should not be having this many battery issues.

I have not tried another modem. I am going to try to flash the MJ3 modem over my NC4 one and see what happens. and i have 3 custom roms i have tried with no better luck on battery. Probably the phone itself.

There all great. I've tried them all. I'd say create a couple slots and try them out. There all pretty much flawless!

I agree, I have: stock rom, hydpedrive, jellybeans, eclipse and bajarom combat edition

Thank you for clearing this up. So we can go back to MJE 4.3 only on NC2 but if we take the OTA NC4 or flash in odin we will be stuck on kk. Wow, I think I might just stay on MI9 and maybe jump to NC2 instead of NC4 :D

this is a possibility, kernel modules being enabled makes it so kexec can work which then means aosp roms could work as well..

although alot of work has to be done to get kexec working on the note3. ALOT. but the hole for it is officially there :D

Haven't seen an update on this in a while. Is anyone working on this amazing find?

In case you weren't sure...

Hi all,

There may be no need to chime in on this, but...in case you weren't sure, in case you're flying n00b colors like I am, in case you're not quite sure what's going on or what people are talking about here...definitely do not take the NC4 OTA update! We were explicitly warned. Thank you @Hashcode, for your information. Bah! I didn't read it in time. I'm grateful for the work you deliciously deviant coders are doing here, and I look forward to seeing what comes next. Thanks for all you do.

Scott :fingers-crossed:

Same here, apparently all of us that got early Note 3's have bad phones that need replacing. I'm scared to replace though because I don't want a replacement that has NC4 already on it:

VZW N3 KK - Radio Signal SUCKS!

@Krazie316, so true...so true. I'm kicking myself for not understanding more clearly that newer is not always better. :eek:

I'm having signal and call quality issues now, and I'm still on MI9. The radio is good everywhere else except @ my mothers place and @ work. I'm thinking maybe my antenna went on the fritz. but like you mentioned, I don not want a replacement with NC4 already on there :(

Well as long as I can still run Eclipse ROM on the NC4 update I will ask for a replacement. Sure I won't get to have AOKP but at least I can have something that's damn near next to it.
