I started a new thread for my continuing adventures and to keep the other thread on topic, sort of. lol

ovrrdrive asked if it felt good that I had gone ahead and rooted, I answered in the affirmative, and things progressed from there!

Yes indeed!

One note, that Quickboot app that I have used forever. I had it take me to the bootloader.
I could not get out of it without pulling the battery. That was a pain in this otterbox. The plastic shell does not want to come apart!
Saw something somewhere that on some phone without a custom recovery when they used that app to go to the stock recovery, it just went ahead and did a factory reset. Lol.
It works fine to just reboot and shut down though, which I like. 1 button shutdown save wear and tear on hardware button.

Edit: I am going to break out some of the non 1 click root stuff, starting here and moving it to the My Bootloop thread.

 

Phone is definitely locked in to the otterbox, no doubt!

I've seen that Exposed thing referred to but haven't really tracked down what it was to try to take advantage of it yet.

Until I do actually put a custom recovery on it, I might be in the same boat if I used it Wanam to go to recovery. Not too eager to find out.

I never was big into using adb, though I do have the mini SDK tool set up on my pc. I ought to give it a shot and see what it takes for me to get it to work with this phone.

I have never used that Odin tool, either.

Edit: When I went to use adb, my old tool said a device was there but that it was offline. It showed my HTC right off the bat. A little research found the claim that I should update the mini sdk. Fortunately, I remembered that Early had us update the links to that and sure enough, using the link I found here, http://androidforums.com/faqs/443072-adb-guide.html I got the new tool and it works correctly!

 

Wow, boot loop city. My phone does NOT like the exposed framework, Wanam combination! Was making me want that Nandroid even more.

Need to try that script I posted earlier. supposed to be able to back up the system with it too.

Quickboot does the same thing to my phone. It will eventually settle down but starts and restarts a number of times before it settles in.

I don't need that!

 

I had not heard of that cool little bug.

I may have had it earlier and not noticed because I usually start it up and leave it without watching it. Let me check.

Yep. I still have the problem even with out all of that stuff on the phone.

 

I read on XDA something about installing the Exposed Framework might cause bootloops, I think. I went into it eyes open.

I'll take the beer anyway though.

Like I said, I may have already had the problem and not even noticed it the way I start the phone at leave it to do it's thing without watching it.

No biggie. I went ahead and reinstalled Exposed and Wanam and have been running with them all day. Didn't make that many mods though.

Still have that Mj4 stock code I can use Odin with if I take the notion.

 

I have been a busy boy!

Seeing that my boot loops were not caused by Exposed or Wanam, I went ahead and put them back on the phone.

Quickboot quit working for me as far as one click shut off, reboot, etc, so I tried the 4 in 1 in Wanam that you suggested. It did not work for me either and bootloops were even worse.

Ok, I was not going for that. I loaded Goomanager just to see if TWRP recovery was listed for my phone, it was. I told it to install it. It said it did but it did not reboot. Using the 4 in 1, I tried to get to the recovery I thought I had installed. No joy.

Decided to try out this ODIN thing to get TWRP on the phone. I had the one for rooting with
chainfire's method.

I downloaded the appropriate TWRP and went for it. That was fun.

I finally figured out I was supposed to click in the PDA box and select the TWRP file and that I was supposed to have the phone in download mode, Volume down, Home and Power pressed, before Odin would work. Did I mention that I am a really smart guy, lol ?

Once I did it correctly, it worked fine and fast! Seeing TWRP on my pretty new phone was quite a joy as well!

First thing I did was make a nand. It is a lot faster to make the nand to internal memory than to the sd card, I have subsequently discovered.

Today I went through a bunch of stuff and managed to get the bootloops to quit. Not sure what did it. I got rid of the 4 in 1, kept all my other mods in wanam and the Exposed framework. Got rid of quickboot, seeing as how it isn't working. Made another nand.

Now, I stand on the edge of the unknown, getting ready to flash me my first note 3 rom, after I read up on it a bit, anyway.

Just thought i would share, hopefully somebody gets something from all that.

 

I installed freeza's stock rooted mj4 rom and now my Quick boot app works again.

I don't know why I waited so long. Rooted is the way to be!

 

I definitely agree about the relief of having the nands. I had read that about goo, but since I saw it in there, I thought it was a go.

The main thing for me with his 'stock rooted' rom, was that it put my system back in order. Made my apps work right again and totally rid me of the bootloop on start issue. It would finally start up, but watching it reboot 5 or 6 times first was rough.

I didn't see any other advantage to it though.

I didn't stay on it too long though. Got it all set up and nanded and now I am running his custom 'wizless' rom.

[ROM|MJ4] Galaxy Note fre3 1.38 w/ BeastMode Kernel

Haven't had any issues with it. I already use Nova Prime for my launcher. Had to download a few google apps i use. I haven't overclocked it yet. I wonder how stable my phone would be?

Had to get that comment about fishing in there, huh? Lucky guy!

 

Enjoy. I'm just messing with you. Jealous, is what it is.

Terminal emulator and navigating there both gave me a 1.

a 1? Are you sure 1 isn't best? lol

a 1....

 

Not over clocked at all

 

wow.

It seems like this rom comes with a custom kernel. At least by looking at the name of it, 3.4.0-BeastMode+ I put my old paid version of setcpu on it but I just left it running with the settings that the kernel came with.

That is one tight case! I slipped the phone into a different one when I was flashing stuff.

I wonder what is up with your phone?
