[Galaxy Note II General] dbanzon:
So i finally managed to root xxueml3 via dr ketans multi tool (having problems with titanium backup though). Is it safe to flash other 4.3 roms now or will there be complications related to bootloader version? Also has anyone flashed any aosp roms after updating to official 4.3 stock rom?

[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Just backup your current firmware using cwm recovery. So that it will be less hassle in reverting all things. Then try the omni rom.

Hi kababayans! I have some questions in mind. I used to root my samsung mini before and it has been a long time since then. I recently bought a used unit samsung note 2 and it is already rooted. These are the following questions i have for it.

1. How would i know the kernel,rom flashed to this unit?

2. Can i just flash any rom for note 2 here in my unit with the usual steps i do before? (Backup, wipe, etc, flash)

3. Do kernels and roms have to be matched? (Compatible with each other?)

[Galaxy Note II General] ken_alpha24:
Sorry to say but once you're on 4.3, there's no going back. Unless of course, you found a full package FW. But I doubt :(
[Galaxy Note II General] zero_3:
It's possible that your note 2 is locked to sun that is why you are getting no sim card/insert sim card. Also you will not be able to downgrade once you are on 4.3 due to the locked bootloader.

[Galaxy Note II General] Chino76:
Try this. Go to settings, mobile network, network operators, then select your carrier. Just don't check mobile data coz you'll get data charges.
[Galaxy Note II General] jojopx:
I tried that too and this is what I am getting from the operator since I'm using it as my roaming phone. This problem only started when I updated my phone to 4.3.
[Galaxy Note II General] Chino76:
I think your workaround is just in the mobile network setting. Check roaming option box and choose GSM only.

Add to other advices. The latest BOOTLOADERS are non-downgradable. It will brick your device but still you can recovery it. mK4 is a good bootloader btw in my opnion. Happy flashing.

thanks for your reply.i have some questions what is the latest bootloader?how to flash it?i tried it and follow the guide and u are right it brick my note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
So hows your note 2 right now? You can flash the latest bootloader together with the latest firmware from sammobile.com

As of now no flashable for the latest bootloader yet. So the only choice is to flash it with firmware.

P.s. that you cannot downgrade via odin any old odin patches. So they dont recommend this if youre still under warranty.
[Galaxy Note II General] tadz202:
What is your knox status?

I have intalled dn3 last night. Just follow the instruction. From stock 4.3 OTA MK1 rom to DN3. No problems with DN3 every thing is in good working order. But it seem to use up more ram than STOCK 4.3 OTA. Maybe i revert back to stock 4.3 rom later

[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Yeah because of the note 3 features. Hehe still stock is better. I agree with you kabayan.

luckily,our best friend odin do the rest.for now i'm using DN3 v3.2 with working wifi without flashing the MJ5.knox status i have 1 now...
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Yeah knox status will trigger once we flash mods zips such as custom recoveries etc. Its fine warranty not an issue though. Just be careful and everything will be fine.

The latest bootloader is just fine. No other flashing patches and will work on latests

Tried to flash n7105 firmwares from samobile via odin but still it bootloops.

Was able to access recovery by flashing CWM but still after factory settings and wiping cache,

since the only solution i know is to flash stock firmwares, i dont know what to do.

Please help. thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
In cm 10.2 baseband should be the latest. Make sure you downloaded the right sammobile firmware. You may try custom roms in n7105 section. Such as Jedi ROM. Dn3 etc.

You lose baseband because your fimware is new and the baseband remains old.

Are you sure your EFS is not corrupted?

Check your IMEI in settings > about device > status if it is the same as before, the box or at the back(behind battery) of your phone has a copy of your IMEI.

Also, baseband version locked in Globe is XXUEMJ9.

Sent from my GT-N7105 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
You will know what region is your N7105 by looking to its build number. (the stock one)

Baseband will be corrupted if it is not compatible to the firmware. All you need to do is to flash the baseband of the latest firmware. If you are in. Well it depends on the rom developer if the rom has baseband in the package. But be sure its compatible. You try custom roms rather than stock. But if your prefer stock it must me pre root/zipaligned/knoxfree/deodexed inorder to be customized. Since you update to latest firmware your boot loader is also latest so you cannot flash 4.1.2 odin flashes only 4.3 but you can flash 4.1.2 roms via cwm. So your life now is in custom recovery lol. Haha

Yes this is an international version. Have tried to flash different firmwares including the one from Globe but still bootlooping occurs.

I think EFS is corrupted since its shows null values. Unfortunately, i dont have a back up since I did the update OTA which that time my

phone is in virgin state (not rooted nor flashed with custom roms) Have read some articles and they told me that I should flash stock firmware for it to get the baseband working again.

Problem is i have downloaded almost 6 firmwares of 4.3 and still bootlooping is experience.
