ROmanian Tread Note3 users
I will 1st write this in english and in the second line in romanian , becouse not all of people from Romania /Bulgaria/Russia etc etc etc knows english and a translator online will only spell some words in a phrase like bull..it.
Well I got my note3 a few months ago and now I'm facing a big problem , by mistake i insterted a firmware from TSR with Z Nf1 and my phone suddenly got several problems :
1. When I updated with ODIN at hidden menu I received the messagge FAILED
2. The device has restarted but in a few secs showed Sec Wizard Samsung has stoped , press OK/Wait
3. No Sound , Camera stoped, Email stoped , Youtube FC
4. probably when I uograded the firmware also the Protection was enabled
5. I tryied to reinstall several firmwares and did several tryes to have back sounds and other things
6. I instaled CM and almost worked but still no sound etc etc .
ROmanian Transaltion.
Intai voi scrie in engleza apoi in al doilea rand in romana , pentru ca nu tota lumea i Romania/Bulgaria/Rusia sau alte tari stiu engleza si un translator online nu ar face decat sa dea un alt sens cuvintelor intr-o fraza.
Ei bine am un Note3 de cateva luni si am vrut sa fac update da din greseala am instalat un firmware cu TSR si csc ZNF1 si probabil am avut si reactivation lok enabled asa ca in timpul update-ului cu DIN am avut urmatoarele probleme:
1 la meniul HIDDEn am primit FAIL
2. FAra sunet si camera a luat FC youtube si email plus sec wizard
3. Am putut reporni sistemul dar cele de mai sus sau intamplat si cred ca csc era de vina si protectia
4. am reinstalat o gramada de firmware si nimic ... fara sunet si se blocheza.
5. am instalat Cyanogen MOD si am primit urmatoarele avantaje ,pot citi mail , trimite sms .. dar nu pot suna nu pot fi sunat si nici nu am sunet . . Va tin la curent .
THANKS /Multumesc

Have you tried to flash your phone with kies to bring it to original state.
Ai încercat sa rescrii firmwareul cu kies sa aduci telefonul la starea de fabricație.

Note 3 root/custom rom instructions
Hello guys! I made the mistake a couple of month ago and upgraded my note 3 to lollipop and i kinda hate it but as I like to change things I was thinking about messing with rooting/custom roms but it has been a while since I've done this kind of things. (last time on my sony k810i)
Now if you are kind, can you help me a bit with some pointers:
1) How the ensure a safe backup in case I do something wrong (apps, tools etc)
2) How do I root the phone
3) How to install custom rom
4) What custom rom do you recommend (I love doing things in the fastest way possible (calls, messages), I hate lag and too many colors - like every page on settings in lollipop)
If this does not take too much of your time your help will be kindly appreciated. Best of wishes!

Hello , i have a samsung note 3 SM N9006 single sim ,root Custom Recovery installed, software custom note 4 installed , kernel custom mod ,overclock the CPU to 2730 MHz,score antutu benckmark..57k.

After loading wifi is and inoperative. Previously, we managed enabled wifi by canceling power save mode menu hidden wifi * # 0011 #. cards microSD Samsung, 4GB, 8GB can be accessed.

Does anyone have any solution to these two problems?

Are cineva vreo soluție la aceste 2 probleme?

Hi Christophe!
Does the Rom come with english or german language support?
This firmware support there folowing langages :
- German
- English
- Spanish
- French
- Italian
- Dutch
I have only test french an English Langage ... the only langages i can understand
Can new write down all the changes in this build in english?
Google translates it this way:
- Updated kernel by the one proposed by JesusFreke
- Possibility to use the device as a Bluetooth Modem (add Bluetooth PAN profile)
- Increased maximum sound level of the device
- Network configuration included Orange and SFR (No Bouygues because they fail to validate a configuration that works well)
- The "Root" home for those who wish to exploit fully Android
- Preparation for future versions (possible to put applications on memory card for example)
- Added some "essential tools"
or for you:
- Aggiornamento del kernel da quello proposto da JesusFreke
- Possibilità di utilizzare il dispositivo come un modem Bluetooth (PAN Bluetooth aggiungere profilo)
- Aumento massimo livello sonoro del dispositivo
- Configurazione di rete incluso Orange e SFR (n. Bouygues perché non riescono a convalidare una configurazione che funziona bene)
- Il "Root" casa per coloro che desiderano sfruttare appieno Android
- Preparazione per le future versioni (possibile mettere le applicazioni su memory card, per esempio)
- Aggiunto alcuni "strumenti essenziali"
Nice ROM. Thanks.
i already posted about that at your forum. increased maximum volume fix reduces low frequencies, so some music sound pretty crappy. besides that rom is good
This build has fixed the microphone low volume in call?
I haven't anderstoon if this firmware is an official release by HTC or it is a modded rom.
Thanks
Hi, this rom supports apps2sd?

What bad noise ???
If you want you can use normal sound level by typing these commands :
Code:
cd /system/etc
cat audio/AudioFilter.sfr > AudioFilter.csv
cat audio/AudioPara4.sfr > AudioPara4.csv
cat audio/AudioPara_VODA-SFR.sfr > AudioPara_VODA-SFR.csv

Did you know that the bad noise is depending on the language you are speaking? French ROMs have a different audio setting because it "fits" better to their language. These audio settings will not work for "Germanic" language speaking people, we would classify it as being bad noise...

[Q] Stock apps or ROM to XOOM 2 ME MZ607 (wifi) BRAZIL

(From Brazil)
Hello guys, first time I used my xoom, I get nasty and removed lots of stock apps that came with him. I cannot provide all the apps that has been removed because I have no idea. But one of them its the Citrix receiver.
Yesterday I received the message that a new upgrade is avaliable (ICS 4.0.4) from Motorola. Ok, I was happy but it takes short time, I couldn´t install the update. (It was rooted by the method of Dan). I emailed him and he sen´t me the unroot kit, it do worked but....
before the unroot, I alread had made an Factory reset, but the apps removed wasnt there. So I tried the method of put the .zip on the SDCard and applying an update by the recover. So this method says to me that there is an error - apply patch check ... citrixreceiver. and I cant update in this way also.
So after I made a Factory reset, the message from Motorola about the update isnt showing anymore even if I look for updates.
My question is, Should I put back all the apks removed or Its best I install a stock rom? Any clues?

Semi bricked phone?

Hey everyone, I have a bit of problem.. First of all I'm only a beginner (and French)!
So I was trying to install Cyanogen using PhilZ6, I have deleted everything required to install Cyanogen but the rom isn't working.
Turned out my mac extracts automatically ZIP files and I just ended up pasting a normal Cyanogen folder in my phone...
Could I be able to flash a Rom from my macbook to my phone?
It's been less than 48 hours since I have discovered the crazy world of android so be gentle with me haha!
If you have any ideas.. (Moto G first gen "Falcon" without SD, and I'm a mac user!)

Homtom HT16 MT6580 - Please help me get rid of the factory viruses / change ROM

Hello! Sorry for the broken english, I´m brazilian and not fluent in english, but I think you will understand me.
I buyed 2 Homtom's HT16 (with MT6580) to my parents via Gearbest and have tried and tried and cannot get rid of the factory viruses on this phone! It install apps without asking (8 of them, sometimes more), constantly slow down the phone until it become completely useless.
Antiviruses dont solve the problem, even in security mode I cannot get rid of the viruses so I decided to change the ROM (I know the process, I´m used to change in my own phones).
Please, help me! I cant afford to buy other phones to my parents and I am totally los in the 4PDA russian forum (the only place I found some custom ROM).
Dont matter what android version, if it is clean, functional and able to run simple apps (whatsapp, youtube, netflix, chrome and facebook) it will be sufficient!
Thanks in advance!
Homtom HT16
Oi amigo, sou brasileiro também. Está com problemas ainda? Estou aqui para ajudar, a ROM presente nos dispositivos não são as originais de fábrica, quando for comprar telefones escolha a aliexpress.
Quanto aos dispositivos são fáceis de arrumar. Entre em contato para maiores informações sobre como proceder agora.

How to root Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s Enterprise Edition (SM-G398F)

Hey there,
is there a way to root a Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s (SM-G398F)?
The phone is from June 2019 and runs Android 9.0.
I haven't found anything on the forum.
Here's a link to the Samsung website:
https://www.samsung.com/de/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398-enterprise-edition/SM-G398FZKDE28/
Thanks in advance,
Paddy
I'm wondering the same thing. I tried to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454
but my phone is not recognized by odin or fastboot, so I can't flash the patched boot image.
I have also recently acquired a Samsung SM-G398F.
Need root for an FM Radio app.
Doesn't seem to have one by default (have opened a ticket with Samsung support, the Exynos 7885 should support one).
Otherwise a really perfect machine.
dual sim, and a microSD slot.
Fast charging, contrary to whats on sammobile.
Will help if asked.
edit : I would have the French version :
SM-G398FZKDXEF
https://www.samsung.com/fr/business/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398/sm-g398fzkdxef/
Not sure if there would be any difference.
Just got off the Phone with Samsung Support.
Basically "Demand has greatly reduced for this product (FM Radio) so we are not proposing it anymore."
I didn't stay on the phone for long because it was someone with a very strong Asian accent, and i couldn't understand her very well, and she sure couldn't understand me properly, so I gave up even asking anything.
They just said to download an app from the App store....
They DID propose to use an older Samsung phone, seeing as their older phones have FM functional
Really need root now, or i'll be carrying my old phone around with me everywhere just for the radio...(and I hope it will actually work after all this).
OK, so, no stock images seem to be available yet, or anything else for that matter.
i'm just trying to get a stock backup image made, so if anything goes wrong, I can flash back.
Just in case anyone is interested, this is the info from the Recovery Mode :
Samsung/xcoverseea/xcover4s
9/PPR1.180610.011/G398FNXXU1ASF5
I have done this before, but only when Roms were available.
Is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM without having rooted the phone yet ? (It would seem its possible with ADB mode).
Is there a generic TWRP/CWM that i can flash, or do I have to have a specific custom version of TWRP/CWM ?
Cheers

Weird. I bought my Xcover 4S in Sweden, and it has a working FM radio. I would have expected EU phones to be identical apart from the language preset.

Hi, did you have the FM Radio app installed by default, or did you have to add it ?
I don't have the FM App installed at all, and when I install NextRadio, it says it can't find it.

It was already installed. Looks like it is neither part of the Play Store nor the Galaxy Store, but going by the name and icon it seems to be this one... argh, I cannot post URLs yet. Google "Samsung Radio apkmirror", should be the first link. Specifically, I have version 10.0.00.52 installed.

I just reset my phone back to factory defaults, to check.
in the "Samsung" Folder in the app drawer, I have Telephone, Messages, Voice recorder, and My Files.
I have no Radio App...
Which version of the 4s do you have, I mean the full name ?
edit : In The Software updates for the Phone i have these versions installed :
G398FNXXU1ASF5/G398FNOXM1ASF5/G398FNXXU1ASF2
Security Update 1st May 2019.
---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------
I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....
I'm pretty sure I have the Exynos 7885 version (1.6GHz A53 cores) (there may be a 7884B version, with 1.35GHz A53 cores).
The board is called "Universal7885" in CPU-Z, which would be the same, or similar, to the Samsung A8+ boards I think ?
Edit : I found a Stock Rom apparently here, at samfrew.com
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__XCover__4s__/mOac/FTM/G398FNXXU1ASG2/G398FNOGC1ASF2/
Is Samfrew an OK site to download a stock Rom from ?
edit2 : Did a search for the ASG2 Rom, and found that it may have been called Xcover 5 at some point.
https://samdb.org/firmware/pda/G398FNXXU1ASG2/
I much prefer getting this Rom from SamDB...

The model number according to Settings/About Phone is SM-G398FN. That is rather short, where do I get the full number? According to the spec page on the shop where I got it it is SM-G398FZKDE31, but I'd rather get this from the phone.
The software updates are:
G398FNXXU1ASH1 / G398FNOXM1ASH1 /
G398FNXXU1ASH1
Security patch level: 1 August 2019
(Yes, 1st and 3rd are the same, not sure what's up with that).
I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....

I think the box said Enterprise Edition on mine, but I am travelling right now, so I cannot check. Any place in the phone where I should be able to see this?

The model number according to Settings/About Phone is SM-G398FN. That is rather short, where do I get the full number? According to the spec page on the shop where I got it it is SM-G398FZKDE31, but I'd rather get this from the phone.

I got it from the French Samsung Website. it looks like they almost have a version for each country...
The software updates are:
G398FNXXU1ASH1 / G398FNOXM1ASH1 /
G398FNXXU1ASH1
Security patch level: 1 August 2019
(Yes, 1st and 3rd are the same, not sure what's up with that).

Yes, i saw some of the other roms seem to be ASH1.
Strange that my version seemed stuck on May 1st security update, when others are on 1st August...
Proper link than the one from before, to all the Xcover 4s/5 roms :
https://samdb.org/model/SM-G398FN/
i'm downloading a couple of them at the moment.
the Greek European version (EUR at the beginning of the filename) and the Dutch one (PHN).
They both seem to be "Black Editions" whatever that is...
Will try flashing them to my phone tomorrow, and see if it works or bricks...
I think the box said Enterprise Edition on mine, but I am travelling right now, so I cannot check. Any place in the phone where I should be able to see this?

I don't have the box in front of me to check.
its just I saw that people were talking about two different versions apparently, a Standard version (Black Edition?) and the Enterprise version.
the Enterprise version will have updates for longer (2 or 4 years was quoted wherever I read it) and stuff like that apparently.
Frankly, if I can get this working fine non-rooted, i may just buy another one to root and get a custom rom up and going, so when the updates run out, it will still work form many years to come.
Waterproof, DualSim+mSD, replaceable battery, IPS (PLS) 720p screen, 3.5mm jack....whats there not to like ?
edit : Just for info, "Orange" is a Service provider in France, on on their website, they state that it has no working FM Radio.
Maybe its just a French thing ? (I bought mine from a webshop).

Indeed, this kind of phone is becoming very rare. I was actually on the verge of buying a Motorola LEX L11 (a "police phone"), as it also has those features, but its cost is prohibitive if you have no use for its special radio connectivity, and the phone functionality is actually inferior in several ways. So I was really happy when the 4S appeared at a fraction of the price.
Well, just flashed the Dutch version, PHN-G398FNXXU1ASH1_G398FNOXM1ASH1-20190806 and still no FM Radio.
beginning to think its not possible to activate it....
Going to try Greek next, and then Swedish after that, seeing as we have one confirmed Swedish phone with it functioning...

Sérieux, tu n'as trouvé que la Rom Australienne !!
Tu as choisi quoi comme Région ? Il ne me trouve rien dans SamFirm, ni NEE, ni EEA, ni XSA..... ?
Tu n'as pas eu de soucis pour l'activation du téléphone avec une Sim Europeene ?
je te remercie, je vais faire l'essai.
Translation of the Original post :
"Hi, I'm French, and i had the same problem as you. I installed the Australian Rom G398FNXXU1ASH1_CL16564893_QB25260991_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5, and then miraculously got the FM Radio back."
Having just tried the Greek Rom, and it seemingly getting stuck on the "Samsung" Boot screen, i went back and flashed the Dutch PHN Rom, mainly just to check if i'd bricked something.
That flashed fine.
Will try the NEE version tomorrow, and then the Australian version

OK, merci.
J'ai pas reussi avec SamFirm, mais il ne me trouve rien.
C'est peut-être le réseau du boulot qui bloques.
Je suis en train de le choper de samsung-firmware.org, mais à 115Ko/s
étrangement, la Rom Australienne est plus petite que les autres...2.9Go contre 3.3Go...
Translation :
SamFirm doesn't find anything for me, maybe a work network problem.
I'm getting the file from Samsung-firmware.org, but at 115Kb/s
The Australian Rom is smaller, only 2.9GB instead of 3.3GB for the others...

The Australian Rom worked fine.
It started out with Vietnamese language by default, but worked.
FM Radio is back, and working very well
Going to check for a week or so, to make sure everything is fine.

Have you noticed whether the audio gets any louder than with an EU ROM? I have already disabled the high volume warning using the trick with the QuickShortcutMaker app, but I wonder if there is also some lower absolute volume limit in the EU firmware, similar to how it is in EU iPhones.

Bonjour
non je n'ai pas remarqué une hausse ou baisse du volume je suis très heureux que vous ayez retrouvé la radio FM par ce que moi aussi j'y suis très attaché. Par contre j'aimerais beaucoup l'enraciner root mais je ne trouve pas de solution ? au revoir
