NEW to Verizon note 3....not new to note 3...i have a few ???? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a few concerns about this note 3 from verizon
1. OTA wont stop updating....wifi, or on network! 12 noon every day it wants me to install kitkat...
2. from what i can tell, kitkat is not working well....something about battery life and the file transfer from sd card to phone does not work right? anything else im missing
3. if i want to keep 4.3, im guessing root is my only option?
4. the phone has some serious lag on sometimes...my tmobile note 3 was smooth and flawless and worked without any issues. is this normal or do i just need to root and install a better rom?

Deny the update! Whatever you do.

i do. every single freaking day. but at 12 noon it downloads something large then asks me to update! running up my damn data! daily i hit install later and at 1am not 1pm. why is it downloading the same damn file every single day???

I think it deletes the temp file for the install. If I remember correctly I saw something on xda on disabling the update

i saw something about that but i dont have a "software update" thing in my apps under ALL to disable. unless its called something else SDM only gives option to force stop, but not disable.

That is as far as I got. I went ahead with the root and new kernel

Verizon LG G2 System Update Available

Hi everyone,
I got a popup window notifying me about a system update that was ready to install on my Verizon LG G2. I chose not to install it, but it said I can install it later. I am rooted and I am not sure what this update is for, possibly a fix for the root exploits. Anyone else seeing this?
EDIT: Everyone is confirming that it does not break root, but if you have already installed TWRP then DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE.

I got it too.... Couldn't find any info on it. I did the update and in "about phone' I still show rooted. It is still 4.2.2 so I am assuming it was a minor software issue/security fix.

Please confirm that you did the system update and can still use root apps. Also, which root method did you use. Maybe they patched the Chinese method, but not the newer method yet!
I'm getting the notification too. I won't be updating til I find out what it does.

Wow, pretty ballsy of you to accept the OTA without knowing if it would break root or custom recovery.
I hope there not trying that crap already

We have custom recovery. Why on earth would anyone do a OTA .. ever... again.... I have never. There will be a ROM based on Stock available that will include every GOOD thing from every OTA that is pushed... Patience is a virtue.

The Newest recovery has ADB option and is considered safe for now. My point is that why would anyone accept an OTA when it is obvious that withing a short period of time there is not only going to be a fully fixed recovery plus Custom ROM's based on the latest Stock ROM with the OTA included. Once you Root and install recovery, you kiss the carrier and their attempts at "Updates" goodbye.

Notice anything change?
i haven't rooted yet, so i told it to install later. i'll root tonight so that i know i can have it, sounds like the update doesnt take root away, it could keep you from rooting if you arent yet tho..
Oh crap, did the update and it looks like I'm soft bricked(?). I can only get to TWRP, and can't reboot the phone (always goes back to TWRP, no matter what I do, even after Factory Reset). PLEASE HELP!!
(Verizon G2)
I'm not sure if I can attribute this to the ota update but my wifi performance has been really glitchy. Constant disconnect/reconnect.
I can't say it's due 100% to the ota because wifi will occasionally get spotty due to the sheer amount of wifi APs and traffic at my workplace.
Anyone else experience this? BTW I'm rooted.

I'm in the same boat, stuck in TWRP loop won't reboot. Downloading files to get back to stock, so will try to put into download mode once everything is downloaded (2.3gb file is taking a while)...I'm sure it'll be resolved soon enough. Will report back if it works.

I just turned on my phone a few minutes ago and saw the update.
Honestly, I wanted to check here on the XDA forum first to see who installed the UPDATE for the phone, because frankly, after the recent Lollipop UPDATE that Google sent out to their Nexus line of devices, and the HUGE DRAMA with system BUGS, I'm leaning toward conservative -- even though I know this isn't a Lollipop O/S update.
UPDATE: I found the link on T-Mobile's website, and they say, "This update provides Chinese language support"
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18152
Went ahead and allowed the update to be applied but because I have already rooted it the update wouldn't take.

Just a few more days and I will get home to my Edge that is sitting in its box. After setting it up I am going to use your root method.
Saw the update this morning when I got up and this popped up in the googletron. I know it's for the Note 4 but I'm wondering if any of this garbage will happen post update... Anyone have any issues like stated in the article?
http://www.tmonews.com/2014/12/t-mo...e-malware-installing-apps-without-permission/
Please note that I am not rooted yet, had an issue with my accelerometer with my first Edge and I'm giving this a few weeks to see if anything crops up first.
My girl got this is morning. Nothing on my phone but i havent check either. I always wait until i get the info on xda first.
But with it just being language support i doubt i will be looking for it.
But im also willing to bet its a patch for something and they just dont want to say so.

Hi, feel like an idiot having to ask this but I'd rather be an idiot with a working phone than one without. Anyhow when you say update via ODIN, which slot am I putting it in to? Or maybe the better question is where in the CF Rooting process does the zip or rather md5 file get flashed?

That would be step -1 (step negative 1) right before step 0... You will start by flashing via Odin the newest NK3 firmware... Then continue the whole guide. Any questions, just ask.

DO NOT UPDATE FROM APGC TO API4... (If you want root...)

Tested right before replacing my N7 (v1)...
After upgrading to latest API4 "Green Battery" Update...
Confirmed:
- Unable to Odin Sprint "Root" Firmware...
- Unable to downgrade to APGC...
Result...
No root & stuck with API4... (Not bricked)
so... in other words... IF you want root... stay with APGC and simply wait for an API4 ROM... (with APGC bootloader)
Get the new phone... and DO NOT update...

The API4 update is available to V1 phones. I took it, knowing I'd be getting a new phone in a couple of days.
As I understand it, they'll make you take it one way or the other.
i can confirm do not update your v2 note 7 to the new firmware. you cannot downgrade and they have blocked the sprint userdebug firmware from even flashing.
if you want to keep root. don't do it.
wht are the chances that the update comes straight from the box..
It does bro....i got mines today and it automatically started down loading...i just asked this question to @jovy23 in another thread
Yep, mine installed right out of the box. what a bunch of a-holes. wifes did the same thing, no root now welp, perhaps its time to return it and buy a different phone. this is retarded.

as long as the phones don't come preinstalled then it's fine.
Well... I just updated to API4 intentionally, to try out the new update on my v1 device. I gotta say it's much more snappier now and lag is completely gone after it fully boots everything. But it's still not worth losing root over. So I'm either gonna get a refund or buy the international version, better yet might just say goodbye to sammy all together.
I don't know why anyone is still surprised about non-Nexus devices being locked down. Sure, a device might get root access, but it's the OEMs job to fix it in future builds because it's an exploit that needs to be fixed.
My update downloaded but I disabled, anyone know where the update file is? What folder? I can't find it.
the update ran as soon as it connected to their wifi network to set up the phone. crap, can't root now.

Same here, it downloads on its own but it can be postponed up to 3 times before it automatically installs the update, so what do I have to disable so the update won't install, or where can i find the update and delete that sob? Any info would be much appreciated as I don't have access to a computer to root or have the time at this very moment.

You can go into settings and turn off auto updates, or download package disabler from the play store and disable the 2 software updates lines. I still have a v1 phone and no update here because of that

Well, I mean these are beta versions, getting bugs & glitches is kind of expected lol As of right now in this version, I've experienced very minimal problems. It runs very smooth, it's one of the best beta versions yet. I do experience some lag after a week or so, but that's expected. If for whatever reason, you run into problems, you want to or need to go back to stock, I do have the ODIN files to flash back to stock, if needed. Just let me know.
Unfortunately, as of right now, there's no method or version to avoid your device from being wiped. You can back up your data with smart switch.

It just updates it all of your stuff should stay intact but I would still recommend that you make a backup and save whatever you really want because some times things just go wrong.

Thanks for the heads up. It worked great. No major issues so far. A little glitch when pulling settings down when locked. But besides that it is amazing. Alot snappier everywhere else.
I have a TMO running the unlocked firmware N950U1UE5CRK1. Can I flash the TMO update.zip on top? Or flash the TMO US5CRK1 first? Thanks!
nevermind, can not be done, switching firmware to US5CRK1
If you are already in US5CRK1 you just need download UPDATE.ZIP and put it in your phone SD Card. Then boot up in Recovery Mode and install update.zip from there. Enjoy

I have a TMO running the unlocked firmware N950U1UE5CRK1. Can I flash the TMO update.zip on top? Or flash the TMO US5CRK1 first? Thanks!

I have N950USQU5DRL6 and already on Pie, how do I get DRL7? I downloaded the update.zip CRK1 to DRL7.
Reason I ask is because last time I was on DRL5 and just flashed the update.zip which brought me to DRL6.

i did that too with DRL5 TO DRL6 but it didn't work with DRL6 TO DRL7. So I downgrade to CRK1 and flash DRL7

I keep getting Failed in Odin.
I'm in Odin mode on my phone.
You have to use Odin patched version

I'm using v3.13.1 Patched.
So far no issues with DRL7, love the UI improvement and no audio issues like others had been having.

Check Netflix. When you watch a movie, does the picture show, or do you get a black screen and audio only?

Unfortunately I do not have Netflix. I use Plex and Amazon prime video. No issues with either.

Prime video works? I can't remember if it was broken in DRL6 or not. Netflix for sure was.

Checking right now.
Edit: nope it's not working but Plex plays just fine. Might be a security permission for prime and netflix
I noticed Samsung pay works now.
