Philz recovery has been the best for this phone. Although I have no idea how well it works with NJ3.

thanks a lot man ill give philz a go, I read on the cm rom on vmroms.com that I can update my baseband cause it requires ndc so if I do that than itll get rid of the nj3 update or am I wrong, than I can use roms that need ndc and what not?

philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.tar.md5 will this work via odin in download mode for my d2vmu with nj3?

 

[mydian]

Yes that will work with Odin. Just make sure you are using the TAR file.

You can't go back to NDC firmware because it's older than NJ3. Downgrading firmware will turn your phone into a nice shiny brick.

NJ3 is new firmware (it's only been out for a month) so you won't find much info on it. I'm still not running it myself.

Thanks ill flash that philz and make a backup before I start playing around. See that sucks I wish I knew that cause I woudve never installed it ill learn. from what im reading cm11 requires ndc is that right? or will any rom for d2lte work for my phone?

The latest builds seem to need NDC for data. You'll just have to try it and see if it works.

You can Odin Philz on NJ3, just make sure to uncheck auto reboot and once it completes take the battery out and boot into recovery. Kitkat firmware is needed for the latest builds to avoid data/gps issues. Both ND8 and NJ3 are fine.

Nj3 should be fine. Just anything before NDC has data and GPS issues.

So cannot odin back to NDC?

Read on xda that the nj2 odin can be flashed over nj3.

Just curious. I now have nj3 and some apps refuse to work. (Rec, some games, es file downloader.

No NDC. It will likely brick you. But yes you can flash nj2 in Odin.

Handy to have if you dont do or wiped out your nandroid.

Doesn't exist. No one has made one and Samsung hasn't released one.

They went AT&T on us. Try finding a tar for i747 haha. I went with NJ2, don't really care for the Virgin Mobile stuff.
