Original Post:
Heya everyone!
I was trying to play Pokemon Go but I found out it only supports Android 4.4+ and by some cruel twist of fate I'm on 4.3.
I'm trying to figure out how to get to 4.4(or any other supported version) while still maintaining root(I need it because I'm on MetroPCS rather than AT&T and I have to use a root required app to use their service). I tried un-rooting and using the OTA update but that was a complete failure. (Maybe because I didn't fully unroot) Restored root with safestrap and I've been stuck in a rut since. I tried the guide in the resource thread but the guide it links to is missing a file so that's basically a no go.
Here's my about device(it's also rooted and I have safestrap):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If this info is relevant, I originally rooted my phone using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-root-at-galaxy-note-3.html
Ever since I've installed xposed, a couple modules and loaded safestrap(thank God because I'd be so effed without this right now) onto it. Oh and I have yet to trip Knox.
Could anyone guide me through the steps or point me to the appropriate thread? I can follow instructions pretty well, as long as I can understand. Any help is appreciated!
P. S. Would this thread help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-root-n900aucudnl1-4-4-4-12-24-t2983357
Both mrkhigh's and 440bro's posts were insanely useful. Take the time to read carl1961's guide as well. Scroll down to the nc2 files section. The same steps are also included there as well as the same files you can use. Scroll a bit further down and you'll see screenshots(in hidden tags) of the files loaded correctly into Odin. There are several setups so use the one you need.
Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Hi @Crxssroad
Try this:
[First keep your note as you have it]
-Extract your CHIP or SIM, and your SD Card.
-Install a CUSTOM RECOVERY [could be TWRP or ClockworkMod] (This will keep your root or better upgrade your root)
-Download and install via custom recovery the @temasek rom CM13 (Android MM.) or any other CM11, CM12 build @temasek CM13 link: [HLTE/TMO/SPR][ROM][CM13][6.0.1_r30] Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build v9.3]
MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR PHONE ITS SUPPORTED BY THIS ROMS (This also will keep your phone root)
-if you want update only the kernel, there is a lot of threads about many kernel variants for diferent versions of performance
[TIP: if you upgrade your KERNEL regardless if you install a new clean ROM or you just update your kernel always make a WIPE CACHE DALVIK, then when you boot in your main system install Antutu Benchmark from google play or aptoide, and run it and click test, then if you phone reboot during the test change the kernel, and then make another wipe cache dalvik, run the test of Antutu Benchmak. Make shure that you are runing a kernel that does not make your phone reboot by itself]
(Useful kernels and mini kernel guide here: [kernel] [lp] [most-roms] [all-qcom] idleKernel, a leanKernel fork (7.1.0) by @jcadduono )
Then put your SIM on, and reboot your phone, you would be able to play Pokemon Go, I ran Pokemon Go on my GlaxyS4Mini (GT-l9195) and in my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8)
Hope this help you ::good:
(I'm sorry if my grammar its bad, I did not use to write or talk in inglish )
Easy
If you have "xposed" just search for "wanam xposed" install it , and apply it , reboot.
Open wanam click security or security change (before the last one ) mark the third option , reboot
Go to settings , OTA updates , update and done .
Hope this helpful.
We don't have cm for our device. Update safestrap to latest version and chose the ROM of your choice

Moved to Q&A.
Thanks for all the replies everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I've seen them and I'll take everything into account. I just haven't been able to study them as I've been busy but I'll update as soon as I can!
I just got to thinking.
You only want KitKat.
The second post is useless in this thread it does not pertain to note 3 att.
You should do this:
Download the nc2 Odin files,
And flash a clean 4.4.2 install using odin then install towelroot for root, then busybox then safestrap. Then install app quarantine, then freeze all Knox apps and art updater.
I'll post the URL in a second

Yes, what you described is all I'm hoping to achieve so if this will work, thank you a million times. I'm just having one issue with the thread you linked. When you say "all-in-one" I assume you're referring to this:
If so, the link leads to a page that cannot be found. :/ Is there any other place I could get the files?
EDIT: Actually, after looking above, there are some mediafire links that seem to be working. Are these the same files I need? If so, do I need to download all 5 individual files? If this is the case, I have no issue. I just want to be 100% certain.
EDIT2: Assuming I can go through with this, is there anything I need to backup? I have most important things in a cloud server so all I need to do is get my pictures. I have some in internal memory and some in my sd card. Any that might be deleted?
EDIT3: This person gave me a link to the files I need! So I'm going to be downloading these and I'll go through with the update as soon as I'm able to.
EDIT: 4 Updated! EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE! Thank you thank you and many thanks unto you and all your descendants to come.
When I did it I had to factory reset to boot for some reason so I would back everything up prior to doing it.
I downloaded that all in one file last week so I'm sure on that page somewhere a working file exists

Thanks! I got everything to work just fine using the files from the other guy, but I followed your steps(which were the same as his save for installing busy box, safe strap and app quarantine).
Any other tips you can give me? I'm going to create a backup using safestrap as soon as I'm done installing all my essential apps but not sure if there's anything else I should be doing to save myself from any future possible f-ups.
Follow the guide for tethering... and maybe install xposed. Honestly thats all I did other than some debloating done via app quarantine.

After removing all of the VZW preinstalled apps, and most of the Moto stock software, there was only one thing left: "Backup Assistant".
I removed Backup Assistant, Backup Assistant Client and Sync Service APK's. Backup Assistant entry in Settings was gone, I associated my contacts with Google account, but there is one thing left. As you can see in screenshots bellow, my contacts app is still showing a "placeholder" for Backup Assistant" in all the menus. I tried replacing the contacts apk with odexed and deodexed version of the same one from different firmwares (used both XT860 and 883 versions) and it's a NO GO. Those versions just wont work. (the FM Radio and Phone Portal from these FW's work flawlessly).
I could use 3-rd party contacts/dialer app, but the thing is - I am trying to have full stock experience without useless VZW crap.
I am on rooted stock .906, and could really use some help/guide on this.

You would be better trying to run a custom ROM like Maverick. It is stock 906 without the bloat.

I have already tried a couple of ROMs,but the thing is,I'm trying to keep the stock FW and all the features (and bugs) of it.Also,I have found another VZW entry in settings>location settings...any way to get that one also.

Hi Bedara!
I'm on the shame opinion. I don't like custom roms, because all of them has a skin that I don't like. And as I know, it's neccesarry to keep SafeStrap on my phone, wich is a security gap when I lost my phone or stolen.
I removed all the Motorola and Vzw bloat, and now, my stock rom as fast as any custom ROM I think.
But I have problem with Facebook sync. And I think this is because there is a modified Account and sync .apk in our phones. (I found that other stock Blur Droid rom users can't use facebook sync)
You can see the differences if go to Accounts and click 'add account' on the stock rom. Compare it to any 3th party rom like Eclipse for example. And I think the whole Settings.apk is a Motorola modified one. I tried to replace with no success:
See my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30869715&postcount=138
I'm in the dark but I think:
- there is dependencies between the APK-s. For example if you remove Setup.apk, the whole settings menu don't work. However the settings.apk doesn't need Setup.apk in Eclipse rom. But the motorola's settings.apk needs the setup.apk. The account specific things is in setup.apk (Install System Panel lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel and you can read the activity's names. When I go to settings->accounts, I can see that the corresponding activity is: com.motorola.blur.setup wich is Setup.apk)
I found a complete lists of which apk corresponds to wich activity names: http://pastebin.com/awWwmqZ5
- I readed it somwhere that it's neccesarry sometimes to sign apk-s together at one time
- and I found apks in: blur-res.apk, moto-res.apk and framework-res.apk. Maybe it's neccesarry to replace this apk-s to ones that non-modified by motorola.
- motorola modified a lot of apk-s. That's the reason we cant' replace apk-s one-by one. I think applications shares resources from each other but original progams can't call blurized programs and vica versa.
It's neccesarry to determine wich programs uses wich progam's resources and replace all of them together with a non-motorola ones. But I don't know how to find that.
Absolutely agree, I love the stock icons that are like the faenza icon theme. also I like the apps like tasks list and so on. these things are missing in vanilla android.
Although, I removed more than only bloat and don't see that placeholder, also there is no "Add account" option. Maybe you should remove more.
As I can see,we share opinions regarding custom roms.On the other hand,I have been researching a bit,and it seams that vzw (xt860) and xt860 and 883 have most of the apk's compatible,except for some system related ones.Now,what can we do,is to try and find right combo.I'm gonna try to mix and match deodexed apk's from xt862 and xt860 (since xt860 doesn't have vzw branding) and maybe (if I'm lucky) get the right ones.I could use deodexed system dump of xt883,if anyone has a link please post.

I've just answered my question:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Speed_up_building
(search for hotboot)
Mavrom has about 20 different themes, gotta be one you like. Can't see any reason to prefer stock over a rom like mavrom. It's not drastically different but it adds a lot of features
Stock or custom...I think it's just a state of mind...moto blur, or what ever they call it these days is actually not that bad, but provider customizations...you just gotta hate them,and when it comes to VZW,they go so deep I wouldn't be surprised if some day they came up with there own OS just to f**k us up.
Regarding this topic, I think there is a working port of XT860 for Droid 3...at least I think...not sure.I'm gonna search the threads to try and find it...
Have you checked out steel droid? The older gb one, is very close to stock with bloat removed and a few tweaks for batt/performance.

Thak you! I didn't know that. Just seen these black, pink and Comic Sans like designs and forget MavRom immediately But I give it a try tomorrow. (By the way I know, that I can customize any theme myself by opening apk's and edit it's resources. But it takes time and lot of work.)
But there is another view: I need a rom that can working without recovery bootmenu for security reason. (paranoia) Please see my question in the SafeStrap thread.
Thank you guys, I keep my eyes on this topic!

You can use regular bootstrap, then delete after flashing. That would leave you with no custom recovery, but no one could flash zips

Here is bootstrap http://db.tt/Urhire5k
I would recommend sbf to stock to prevent any conflict with safestrap, the backups aren't compatible, but if you flash the same rom as what you are using now you could use tibu for system and user apps and data.

Backup doesn't important for me. I can resync my contacts and calendar with MyPhoneExplorer and that is the point.
Thanks for the suggestions!

You can also use tibu to schedule app backups straight to your dropbox. You can backup the system apps too, so long as your restore to the same rom. On case anything happens you have everything in the cloud, and db apparently just started 2 step verification, which should appeal to your security paranoia

This ROM is more or less a debloated stock GE 4.3. It will work on the i9505 (international), i9505g (Google Play Edition), i337 (AT&T), i337m (Canada), and m919 (T-Mobile).
Features
Deodexed
Zip-aligned
Rooted
Auto-loki (For AT&T I337 only)
Removed all apps available in the Play Store except for Google Keyboard
Removed some Samsung bloat
Reboot menu
Play Store 4.4.21
Google Wallet works out-of-the-box
Mobeam (Omnibeam & Beepn'Go) works out-of-the-box
Notes
This ROM uses a Sprint (L720) branded build.prop to make more apps available from the Play Store (Mobeam, Wallet, WatchON). You can keep it as is but if you want to update your custom recovery through GooManager, don't forget to flash the linked build.prop for your phone first!
I had some trouble with SIM unlocking but a reboot fixed it.

You could always make a separate efs backup through twrp and try to restore it after you flash it but because this ROM is based off the L720 chances are its not going to work

Me too. I'm waiting for your 4.4 release.
Any reason why this wouldn't work in Safestrap for MK2 once it is released? Since your 4.2.2 gpe rom worked perfectly with SS...
Hoping to see a clean 4.4 Rom soon!
I'm wondering if you are working on 4.4.
I loved your GE ROM's, they have been the best for me, no issues, weird reboots, force closes, etc. :good:
Thanks for all your hard work.
waiting for your 4.4 GE Slim rom on SS . i've been using your 4.2.2 rom for a very very long time...
Hello
Hey,
What ROM would you recommend for a 4.2.2 MF3 At&t Galaxy S4 SGH-I337?
I've been using the ROM found in here.
I am new to the rooted world.
It's the first ROM I tried and I love it.
I can go a whole day with, at most, losing 25% battery life.
I love the minimalist aspects of it.
I don't know how to keep track of new ROMs for my build though.
I don't really want to change ROMs at the moment, because I have everything I need with this one,
but if you can give me some cool advice, that would be awesome.
Any help, information, would be appreciated.
Thank you so much for this.
:good:
-Joey

I suggest a clean flash because its a whole different base 12B & I believe CleanRom is 11A
Do we really need that Zipalign here? Is it just beter overall perfomance or what? And does this rom support init.d?
I am downloading now. I will give this one a try

If you were on total stock and accepted the ota to 12B wouldn't that essentially dirty flash itself over 11A? I mean isn't CleanRom 1.0 pretty much stock, rooted, and debloated?
Thank you for this rom!! This was the one I was waiting for
Flashed this and it fails at the end. I'm using philz cwm. It says something about Loki.

If I do the process I will be able to zipalign, add init.d support & add busybox to the ROM. Zipalign just optimizes all the apks for better ram usage.

Yeah thats true, dirty flash but if any problems come up then wipe.
EDIT: @bL33d here is the modded hotspot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338
Just got it all loaded and it works great. GPS is working faster on this ROM than the other one I was on. I need to do some more testing but so far so good. I used CWM to flash and all went well.
I'm running the rooted stock rom...can I dirty flash and not do a clean install?
Out of curiosity how many gigs does debloating save you?

The stock Verizon rom out of the box gives you about 24 out of 32 gigs to use. I was just wondering how much space debloating would free back up for you.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Flashed it. All is working fine. Just finished installing all modes and apps. Can i remove My Verizon app? Can i install busybox myself here? Also i found out that i have 2 "contacts" account in google account. What it could be? Also lost few latest contacts. Just can't understand how that happen.

Yeah use titanium to UN instal my Verizon. U can downloads busy box If u want it. If I use the kitchen to add busy box it just adds the required files not the
App. Can't u just remove one Google contacts?

No, i can't remove contacts, its inside google account.
Anyway, ROM is faster than Clean ROM. I even can see the differences. Antutu marks are higher than ever. I am very happy with the ROM. Tomorrow gonna test camera on a party )) Thanks a lot for great and simple ROM.

CyanogenMOD 11 for Android One Devices
By @varun.chitre15
Feel free to ask questions, or answer questions by others or interact with developer himself.
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
Please flash this ROM only if you know what you're doing!
P.S. Keep checking this thread for updated FAQ's and Tricks and Tips.
Question about installation via recovery.
CM 11 is based on Android 4.4.x specification.
But most of the phones with Android 4.2.x has arecopvery compatible with CM 10.x (not compatible with CM11).
Is there any problem to install this ROM (CM1)9 with a recovery not compatible CM11?
Magnetic sensor not working
I want to know that if this project can be put on an automated build server like Jenkins? It'll be very useful for developers and users as well. We'll be able to fix bugs instantly and any upstream changes in the CM sources will be automatically included. This will make the development faster and users wouldn't have to wait for long time for the releases, ROMs can be built on the Jenkins server and OTA Update support can be given to the ROM.
ThankYou

And people visiting this thread, please help me with something. I'm totally confused with Redmi 1S and Android One. I just don't understand, what should I buy? Redmi has excellent camera, good chipset, processor and GPU. But it has heating and RAM problems. But both of them are bugs in MIUI, I will replace them with CyanogenMod. On the other hand, Android One is also gearing up. Good (but 5MP) camera, Mediatek chipset and continuos updates for next 2 years. I'll install CM on it too if I get it. Please someone suggest me a good pick. Thankyou

That'd be possible once Varun submits his trees for official support to CM, he will do it once he fixes all bugs.
And to your next question, its up to your priorities. No one in my family owns an Android One device personally but my uncle owns Redmi 1S and its pretty good. I have used both and both are excellent devices. Redmi is no way going to live up to 2 years if it doesn't gets kernel sources. So see what matters to you most.
I have heard that unlocking bootloader will trigger a hardware change which allows the technician to check whether the bootloader is locked or not. Is that true ? Does it really affect our warranty ? Do we even have to care about it ?

Noob Question
Hello,
I have the Moto Z3 Play XT1929-4 with Android 8.1.0
I would like to root my phone without erasing anything if possible.
Is there a simple , easy to follow tutorial applicable to my phone / Android version? I tried searching the forum but could not find anything specific.
I tried Kingroot and Kingoroot apks on my phone and neither worked. I am totally fine using my PC to do this.
My goal is to be able to work with my Waze voices but I cannot access the Data folder unless my phone is rooted so I don't need anything fancy.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you !
I have been off XDA for a few years. I recently got a Verizon Moto Z3 put onto another carrier other than Verizon, It is working well but I am curious if I would be able to Flash a Stock Non Bloated Rom (likely a Verizon rom Id assume, since its a Verizon phone originally) to the device with out affecting its port over... please provide any help you may be able to. Phone was taken from Verizon and moved to Metro by Tmobile. If you need additional details please ask.
I am familiar with Odin and the Flashing process, just a few yearas out of practice.
Thanks
What's the sku for the bootloader unlockable model? Is it XT1929-4? I'm about to pick one of these up and I want to get the right one.
So to my understanding since I happened upon the Verizon variant of the z3 I'm pretty much screwed as far as unlocking the bootloader and rooting this bad boy huh.

You can always try Motorola unlocking page

But if it was bought through Verizon it's not likely.

Ya I tried that first thing. Pulled the bootloader code from the phone and ran it but it's not eligible to be unlocked. Some one told me patching the boot.img file with magisk would give root but with a picked bootloader I'm kinda weary of trying it.

Afraid to Update to Pie?
So I bought 2 XT1929-4 Z3's, one for me & one for my wife. I did all theuupdates (ota) & rooted it w/Magisk. All was well until I went to use the camera. It just wouldn't work, ever. So I unrooted & returned it. I'm now using the one I got for my wife and I'm scared to accept the Pie OTA because of my first experience. This phone works great & I haven't unlocked it or rooted it. I don't want to ruin this one too.
can anyone tell me if they've done this OTA without issues?
Lately my phone is sluggish. When I open an app it is a delay of about a minute and when playing a game it constantly freezes and all apps give a pop up message of the app is not responding to wait or close the app. Is there any way to fix this?
