I have a strange issue with System Uupdate and am not sure if it's causeing my phone to be buggy.
If I check my System Updates Tab I get Last System Update: "Software not updated to G935VVRU2APB5" Failed - Mar 29 2016....error code 454
If I then go and check for new system update, I get "Your Samsung ....is up to date. No update is necessary at this time."
If I then check System update history I see "Software updated to G935VVRS2APB4 Mar 19, 2016..."
However when i check about phone my Baseband version is G935VVRU2APB5.
Anyone know what do I do to get this cleared up?
Thanks!
Since there's not really a way that I've seen to wipe cache without root, (you do have ADB but even with we don't have access to those partitions) (to the best of my knowledge) so unfortunately a factory reset is more than likely your only option.
This happened to me also. Glad I'm not the only one.

You can wipe the cache by powering off the phone and then holding down the Volume Up, Home, and Power button until the phone vibrates. Let go of the power button but continue to hold the others. Use the volume buttons to scroll down to "Wipe Cache Partition" and press the Power button.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I hate to have to do all this without root. Have a good day!

Posting for a friend here. Running the Verizon note 3 on what I assume is the most up to date stock software.
Basically he informed me that he wiped cache from recovery because his phone "was having issues" after he rebooted his home screen pin unlock is saying he entered the wrong pin. Is there any way short of a factory reset that will fix this. Thanks for your help

We'd need a bit more info but here goes.
If he's pure stock they can try going into download mode and doing a hard reset. Turn off phone and follow these steps.
1) Press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time. For about 5 to 8 seconds, the phone will reload.
2) Release all buttons as soon as you see the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo.
3) In the Android system recovery mode, use the volume rocker to highlight wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Power button to select.
4) Select Yes — delete all user data
5) Next, select reboot system now.
He'll have to redo his apps and stuff all over again but he'll be into his phone.
If he is rooted and running a custom rom just reboot and hit safestrap recovery button on start up and reflash rom. You are assuming he on just stock software but we aren't 100% sure.

I stated that he was running stock. He is trying to find a way to do this without wiping data as he has information he doesn't have backed up that he doesn't want to loose
Thanks

I don't know what else he can do other than hard resetting the phone. Did he save it to his sd card or internal storage? If it's on his sd card he's fine. If it's on his internal storage I don't know what else to do. I don't think there's any software for that as it's his phone but bypassing the pin lock any other way might be considered phone piracy and I doubt the xda governing bodies will let that be posted here even if something existed. There was some software for the s3 that let you put your imei number back on your phone if you lost it flashing roms but xda had to not let it be posted here as it could have been used to activate a stolen phone. I don't know what else to do to help. He may have to bite the bullet on this one unless someone else knows something I don't.

Does anyone else's Turbo take a relatively long time to clear the cache in recovery? I've done it a few times now and each time it has taken close to 10 minutes. Other phones I've tried usually finish the clear in a minute or so? Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
Mine always takes several minutes. I've never actually timed it, but I would guess 5 or 6 minutes?
Mine takes about 20min every time.
IMO I think that a DT thing across the board, at least with the XT1254. I have 7 other friends with the DT and they all experience the same thing( and so do I )
It is a painfully slow process on the DT.
My maxx even in cm recovery takes 10 minutes to clear
Me too I think it's related to the recovery both are unfinished versions of recovery
How is anyone clearing the cache? Going by the steps online, I can't even get to a point to clear the cache. When it says click up to select, it just goes up to the option above. Hitting power just boots the phone. Can i have TWRP yet? - XT1254

When you boot into recovery press and hold the volume up button and tap the power button once to activate the recovery command list
same here on maxx 7/ 10 min
Same here. Not really an issue tho
What it takes to clear the cache and the cell is in operation ... the difference is that everything is done from the recovery while the other cell .. makes the second stage when turn on the phone ... still need to wait a while.
sorry for English
has anyone tried to clear cache after using the mofo root tool? I tried to get into the recovery so I could clear cache, but am unable to do so...When I select recovery I just get the green android icon with the red icon on top. Any advice?

see post #9 in this thread,
Hold the volume up button and tap the power button once when you are in recovery
Yes it takes long to erase cache. I do it one a week.

I'm having the same issue. I follow the instructions to get to recovery to a "T" and still get the little "dead" Andy with the red exclamation warning triangle.
This is, of course, after rooting with mofo root.
EDIT: This is what worked for me - power off phone > hold volume down and power until fastboot loads > use volume up/down to scroll to Recovery > press power to select > once dead andy screen appears, hold volume up and tap (do not hold) power > recovery should load.
I don't know how to use the Android Debug Bridge but want to try to fix it without having to get Google involved
The first and foremost way, is by clearing the cache partition through stock recovery.
Boot into stock Android recovery:
Power down your 6P completely.
Press and hold volume down and power keys until you see the bootloader mode.
Keep tapping either the volume up/down key, until you see 'Recovery mode' as the selection. Select it by pressing the power button.
A black screen should appear, with an Android bot and exclamation mark. While on this stage, press and hold the power button, and tap the volume up key once.
You should now be in stock recovery mode.
Now, you will need to use volume keys to navigate, and power key to select 'Wipe cache partition'. Finally select 'Reboot system now'.
This may just fix your issue. If it doesn't, let me know.
Didn't fix it. What do you recommend I do now?
I'm perfectly fine with factory resetting my phone.(is that the only other option you'd recommend me do?)

Yes, the second option would be to factory reset.
That fixed it
Thanks!
This happens to me also. the problem is that i cannot use my phone anymore. Every time i open the phone the "android process media has stopped" keeps on popping out. Then the next thing i'll do is to press the ok button. After that it pops out again. Then doing it or pressing the ok button several times shifts the screen off my phone to black then i can not use it anymore.
What can i do? pls help me
Thanks :crying::crying::crying::crying:

No bud, its the only way or you can flash your phone with PC. And that will make your data erased too...

I had a charging problem on the 6.0 beta and was able to solve it by using adb sideload and reinstalling. It fixed my problem without losing any data. Try it - hey you got nothing to lose at this point right?

Use Tethered CWM if you have a locked bootloader, or use TWRP if you have an unlocked bootloader... Do a factory reset from there (CWM or TWRP) which will preserve your internal storage (/data/media)....
Recently I have updated the firmware to 8.1. by using Odin successfully. However, the Internal Storage was reduced to the half only. In trying to fix this, I reflashed it with 'Nand-Erase' option checked (stupidly!). Then everything gone wrong.
- Bootloop (Struck on SAMSUNG logo)
- No recovery
I reflashed without checking 'Nand-Erase' but still not working, bootloop.
Then I installed/flashed TWRP from Odin again. It was successful, but very sadly I can't do anything:
- Unable to restore backup
- No Factory Reset/Wiping Date, Cache etc.
- No Power off
- Unable to Mount
- Internal Storage show 0MB.
Have you ever faced this problem? Can any one help me please. I am really in need of your suggestion and advice.
SOLVED!
After browsing through lots of pages, I found a solution which works for me. Even though my problem has been solved, I will just put the solution here, in case anyone may face the same problem with me. Follow the Steps below...
Reboot into Recovery (Press volume up, home and power button at same time)
Phone will reboot, leave power button but keep holding other 2 buttons.
After you see android/system update installing screen, leave these 2 buttons
Wait for few seconds and phone will show 'no command' then press volume button 3/4times and system recovery will open
with volume keys go to "wipe cache" and press power key.
after that select "wipe data/reset" and press power key.
after that select reboot phone and press power key
now phone will go to Samsung logo screen and you may think that it is again stuck in bootloop
But no, wait for some time->for me it was less than 4-5 min
and you will see the installing apps and other messages on screen
DONE!
Be Happy
Very considerate for you to post that info up for others. Thank you.
