My experience with T-Mobile Note 2 and loss of SIM card after rooting

I had some good use of xda forum so far, and since I see that the experience with T-Mobile Note 2 is needed, I am going to describe my case. it may be usefull to somebody.

I have just obtained (two years contract with T-Mobile) my Note 2 (Croatian version, GT-N7100 Build: JRO03C.N7100XXALIJ). I played with it for a while and decided to root it and get some of custom ROMs. After some reading (was not enough as it came out later!!) of xda forum, I decided to roll my sleeves and get things done! I should have read more, but I felt confidence since I already have flashed my HTC Tytn, PocketLoox, HTC HD2, jailbroke iPhone 3GS of my wife and used MIUI from SD card fo my HD2. Anyhow, I downloaded Note 2 ToolKit v 2.0, and witout much thinking (no backup!!!) I applyed third option (ALLINONE) with build closest to my since I could not find the exact mach. I actually used the one which was listed under "T-mobile", but I guess it was for the American T-Mobile since the build had different name. After rebooting my SIM card was not recognized any more!! What a shock!! Luckily it was weekend (no work). I spent the rest of weekend reading (learned a lot!) and trying different things, donated to Mark Skippen for ToolKit, obtained paid versions of "Triangle Away" and Mobile ODIN. At last, I unrooted my Note 2 and did factory reset, then rooted it again, this time with "International boot ROM" (boot-insecure-alie-N7100.tar) from Note 2 Toolkit boot repository - and it worked!! My build remained the same.

I believe I am ready now (at least I made full backup "NANDROID" - would this cover me?) for trying some of already many ROMs availabe for this magnificent device.

Cheers,

Joža

Hey guys? I think this update can't be rooted with the files we currently have....

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-S5830&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware

Latest Spain 2012 KTQ. I used the AceGingerRoot and the Upd_1 file as well. There's no SuperUser installed D:

EDIT: Confirmed. As soon as I switched back to KTM, I was able to root using the upd_1 file.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system.img:
Is there enough system free space?

If not, delete some apps and try!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperAce609:
Yeah, the rom was freshly installed. I hadn't installed anything else. Just went straight to root and the SU app didn't appear after using both files.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system.img:
No...Check if there is free space even on a fresh imstallation.

The new rom is heavy. Use root explorer and check!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperAce609:
Root explorer without root access. Lol
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system.img:
Lol....:p

You need root access only for writing files onto /system and not for reading files!

Do you can use root explorer to check the space left in /system

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] system.img:
Its already known.

Anyway. This thread might create "Awareness" :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperAce609:
Lmao awareness of what? And that's a lie. I didn't know it couldn't be rooted. The update file and the ginger root say all GB roms can be rooted.

False Advertising.

Hello.

For some reason, SMemo stopped working right.

It will open a new memmo if I start it through the smemo tools widget, but it will not start any other way.

I don't know for sure when it stopped working, but I am sure it was working after last update n7000xxlrk)

Only strange thing I noticed is it displays two SNote apps under the All Apps list

one is 12.07.25.5822 - 780 Kb (116 for app)

other is 12.07.31.5869 - 3.8 Mb (3.71 Mb for app)

Anyone as any idea? Phone is not rooted, just installed 4.0.4 German through Odin, but SMemo was working without problems then.

[General Questions and Answers] AJ88:
This error says there is no sh file in your device..

Just check by using any root explorer

Go to system>bin in this bin folder There must be a file named sh about 2-4 mb in size.

If not that's the missing file and your problem too..

we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
I don't know exactly what piece of software that you are using, but the core of it is ADB.

adbd (the ADB daemon) on your device can not find your shell.

It doesn't exist at /system/bin/sh

Do you have it somewhere else on your device?

The shell path is hard-coded into adbd

Are you sure that the adbd on your device is the right one?
[General Questions and Answers] x1123:
Just try to reflash with your device with 2.3.7 again. If works, it mean something wrong with your ICS rom. How do you upgrade your rom? did you do via recovery or fastboot. I believed sh file is there but No enough permissions . normally works by fixing the permission

The EXEC command isn't available on Android ( i.e. part of it's ToyBox command suite ) unless BusyBox command suite is installed.
[General Questions and Answers] AndreuMCA:
How can I install BusyBox please?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Installing BusyBox basically requires device's Android is rooted - what in turn requires device's bootloader is unlocked and it's dm-veritiy and/or AVB lock is disabled.
[General Questions and Answers] AndreuMCA:
I'm not sure what you mean.

I found busybox.exe for windows than I do not know what I have to do with this file, I ran it and created a lot of aplications files

And also I downloaded .apk file and I tried to install it in the amazfit wach using the tool Huami_Amazfit_Tool but do not work because some command use shell or similar and appears again the same error:

"'/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)"

The main thing is I have a Amazfit Stratos frozen on A logo. I can reboot it on fastboot only using manual method and is unlocked because I introduced the code but all the process to restore than I downloaded or I tried (recovery.bat, flash.bat, unbrick.bat...) all them in some moment use the comand "adb shell something" and here fails all restore process

The strange thing is than worked me installing the Pace firmware, the watch starts but the touch screen not works, and was veeery had back to Stratos because doing this I lost the serial number (null) and the fastboot was locked again so I spend a few hours to restore the watch to the initial point: statos completely frozen but unlocked.

I'm on MeanRom 3.9 (which is based on latest OTA 2.13) I doubt it's anything specific with MeanRom but something with the latest OTA.

It's driving me crazy. It does not seem to happen on this forum but another forum I frequently visit.

I posted 2 replies and it posted them again, IN REVERSE ORDER !!!

I think it has to do with backing out. When I back out it posts again.

It never did this before.

Anyone know a setting that might cause this?

Actually, you can - for example, I can use my bluetooth mouse while at the same time play music through my Belkin Bluetooth Music receiver.

Also, if you have a keyboard dock, a lot of those accessories aren't needed (USB hub, BT keyboard, Card Reader, charger, etc).

But, most of your points are true. One thing that I've found tough to do on a tablet is use MS-Project files. I do have an app to read them, but it isn't the best (plus, it can't edit them)...

[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
No way in recent times can a tablet run like a laptop period.

This is a no brainer...

The latest notebooks are very powerful even in the simplest form.

When it comes to things like; Poser Pro, DAZ Studio, Adobe CS, MS office, Maya, Acrobat, Lightwave, Bryce or whatever you're going to need to lean on a PC or Mac.

Perhaps some day, but not today.

This is all moot
[Asus Transformer TF700] the_game_master:
laptop beats it clean.

Heck I was trying to do a simple Google search from the address bar in the Chrome browser on my Infinity tablet. It stalled for a good minute.

In that minute I went over to my PC, launched Chrome, did the exact same action. Boom, it pulled up the results instantly.

I've been wondering how come Chrome works so solid on Windows and lackluster on Google's Android OS until I realized it's likely hardware.

The x86/x64 Intel based CPUs that make of the heart of Windows, Linux, and even MacOS have been in this game for more than a 2 decades and they've been constantly optimizing the CPU for the internet for half of it.

nVidia hasn't, they've making video cards for the majority. I'm starting to think now that had I thought with my old hardware geek mind, I would have never gone with a Android tablet, I should have bought a Windows tablet PC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Sure, a laptop may be more powerful, but let's see your laptop get over 12 hours of battery life!

For *most* daily tasks, even MS-Office viewing and editing, a tablet can do just fine (at least with a keyboard dock). That's one reason why I bought the Transformer and really won't even consider a tablet without a true keyboard dock option anymore - without the keyboard dock, the device is just too limited for anything other than media consumption.

Add a nice keyboard dock and the tablet can instantly do *so* much more, while still being a great tablet when needed. I just wish there were more options when it came to a tablet with a keyboard dock! It kinda sucks being forced to go with Asus for this type of hybrid device.... But, I think that is slowly changing - it seems more devices with true keyboard docks are on the way. Asus better step up their game in the quality department, that's for sure!
[Asus Transformer TF700] PoiPoiKuroi:
Its only bad optimization on the infinity tablet. As the same SoC, only a slower version, it is extremly speedy on the nexus 7 tablet. We just have to hope for the best with the JB update.

And for Windows tablet PCs, the batterylife is nowhere compareable to ultrabooks and the infinity. So you have that downside.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drherron:
I think this is at the root of many of the complaints from people. It looks like a laptop so why doesn't it perform like one. For basic tasks this is a really fantastic device but lets face it, your are running an OS based for something meant to be on and in your pocket 24/7. Its getting better but will it have the physical ability to do the things that a device with 20+ years of development? Not any time soon.

For me the always on feature is really awsome, touchscreen, small size and low power consumption help too. It replaces my laptop on travel and has opened the doors to media that I rarely used on my Viao. But the Viao still sits in its dock on my desk and splashtop manages to cover the shortcommings.

I think there would be less complaints if people did more research prior to purchase, not just about the device but also about the OS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vo01985:
Of course the tablet won't take over the laptop in demanding tasks. The hardware for the laptop is a lot better. But the weight, battery life, portability, etc on a tablet is much better. Different devices for different purposes. But the dock is precisely why I like this device so much. It's still not a laptop, but at least for certain tasks I can make it as fast as one (for input). I definitely won't have to buy a laptop any time soon, since I already have a PC to do powerful tasks.

To each his own, I guess.

Codename for sure

Been using codename since a while now. Super smooth. Only the backlights and front camera are unstable. Also mobile data keeps disconnecting which is a lil irritating. And if you wanna keep switching SD cards, there is no unmount option in Settings-Storage to safely remove the SD card.......Its still not perfect but its worth the wait. There are fixes for those though so no need to worry.

Lotssss of tweaks and if you want performance and aesthetics Codename is the way to go. You can tweak the **** out of it as in you can O/C it, there are 2 finger gestures in the pull down menu and many mo. Damn its beautiful!!

[Kindle Fire General] G-diddy:
I was looking for a browser that did a good job with flash video now that I'm on twa's latest jellybean build and Google is abandoning flash with jellybean (TURDS!). Of course you need Flashplayer plugin installed and you can't download it from the Play Store (so get it somewhere else). Stock browser works ok (gets a little unstable). Tried Maxthon, Dolphin, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Skyfire, and Boat Browser. Boat Browser works flawlessly (except status bar toggle leaves a video shadow). It is a nice fullscreen enabled browser. Fullscreen and stability was what I was primarily looking for. Flash worked on some other browsers I tried but fullscreen either caused freezing, system instability, or didn't work at all. Give it a try. Hope it works well for you. Gotta love your kindle's big screen. Say no to browsers that rob screen space.
