[Galaxy Note II General] alfonso1:
Francis, is your speakerphone function working well without issues on the Mic?

I've use Phoenix, Hurricane, Dr. Ketan and now Ditto 3 and they all have this issue. Might be something I missed.
[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
Yup, used the mute button at least twice during calls... no issues (yet)
[Galaxy Note II General] alfonso1:
Thanks Bro! Maybe I will try your recommended ROM.
[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
Feel free bro... though I'm thinking I just got lucky with it. Just checked DN3 and Dr. K's thread and it seems to be an issue for many users.

Good luck! :cool:

Hi guys just one quick question bout the 4.3 update. . This app that comes with the new update for our note 2 , I think it's called knock. Whats the advantage and disadvantages of having this? Coz im seriously thinking of getting a rom without this. Will I have any problems if I get a stock rom and with out this app?
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Sir it's "KNOX". The official 4.3 of samsung contains KNOX security.

Now the features of this as of now is i don't know yet but there is a disadvantage feature I know that if you updated it officially the bootloader also will be updated once you updated it you can never downgrade your phone its locked and there is a limation in terms of rooting. Once knox triggered it will warn you error while rootin and device cannot be customized anymore. That's

So in conclusion. If you want 4.3 I suggest that update your phone by custom rom with an old bootloader so you can upgrade and downgrade your phone simultaneously. You can research with those.

And official 4.3 as expected has no note 3 features because its note itself.

Hurricane ROM

Ditto Note 3

Dr. Ketan ROM

Phoenix ROM v15

And many more.

Yes you can return to 4.1.2 if you want to. Hence you have the old bootloader. Just flash our stock ROM from sammobile. There will be no problem with that.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mario Christian Oquias:
noted sir, knox is bad for my note 2. i will root and try out all these roms .my note 2 is only 3 month old, i want to use clockworkmod on the recovery and root the thing.
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Yeah as of now there will be no solutions in KNOX.

CWM Recovery is very good for out Note II. I recommend you Philz Touch Recovery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103 (credits to Philz)

Then you may flash roms and be careful to read OPs. And you can always flash back to stock if you want to. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Mario Christian Oquias:
yeah i like to do all these things but my internet has a data cap, and now its speed is in 12kbps. this sucks big time..
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
LOL. that's hard 12kpbs in a GB size DL. Hopefully you can do those. It's enjoy to experiment/explore our dearest NOTE II
[Galaxy Note II General] TaoyaM:
thanks so much warlycastro, is there a best procedure on doing a backup of old bootloader or how can i achieve to have my old booloader to be load so i can return to my old 4.1.2 stock rom. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Yes, you can backup your stock bootloader. Take note boot.img is your bootloader.

There are choices that you can backup those:

By:

1. FULL Nandroid Backup by CWM, I recommend you to use Phillz Recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103

Then just go to custom recovery you know the drill (HOLD VOLUME UP+HOME+POWER) you can release POWER button after 4-5 seconds if the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo appears. (You can navigate by touching the screen) Then go to Backup and Restore>Backup to External Storage or Backup to sdcard(internal) then wait until you fully backup your original stock. Save it to your PC and don't rename the folder it will change the generated md5 and you will fail to restore.

Then whatever happens you can always return from 4.3 you can restore it to stock and be sure to flash the modem of 4.1.2 because NANDROID in Philz has no backup for modems. But you can search modems here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044937

the other option is the BOOTLOADER itself only

2.Philz recovery. Backup and Restore > Custom Backup and Restore > Custom Backup Job > Then tick Backup Boot (untick the remaining options) then > Start Custom Backup job (choose where to put) then after save it to your PC.

Note in case (if you know then good :) There is also Backup EFS. Developers always recommend that so that if you backup your efs. What is EFS? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420881 you may read it.

Then remember that 4.1.2 modems/baseband won't work with 4.3. So you may download stock ROM on sammobile. :)

samsung galaxy note 2 (SHV-E250L)

Hi guys,

Just wanna ask, i was planning on swapping my s3 on this korean note 2,would it be possible to root and are there any custom roms available already, i mostly preferred the stock prerooted roms if there is any, and would it be possible to remove all the korean apps? tia

you can ask here.

and you can research here about your roms.

yet one thing is for sure as long as you are rooted you can remove all apps that you want.

Hi everyone. I have an issues with my Note2 camera. Did any of you come across the "UNKOWN ERROR OCCURRED" with your camera? I'm running Wanam Lite V3.9 which is still 4.1.2 Android version. Flashed with full wipe but still get it every time. After hitting OK the camera app closes.
[Galaxy Note II General] lei0418:

No idea. And not familiar with n7105. But i know Korean note 2(shv-e250s) is different from international version. (gtn7105).
[Galaxy Note II General] TaoyaM:
:good:

WOW this is a good help warlycastro thanks for helping me and providing me a good link two thumbs up :good: :good: Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note II General] alfonso1:
Francis. Can you do me a favor and take a look at "settings-about device" at what modem/baseband you have?
[Galaxy Note II General] mightymouse2045:
That sounds really 'ODD'

What procedure have you used to upgrade to these different roms?

ie have you done the following:

1. Install latest philz touch from here (If you already have recovery then download the .zip, copy to the phone and flash that from within recovery), if not then download the md5 and flash that from odin by going into download mode.

2. Boot into recovery and do a Wipe data/factory reset => select the wipe for installing new rom

3. Go into mounts and storage => select format /sdcard (This needs to be done at least once when moving to the 4.3 ROMS), it will cause ODD issues if you haven't. You 'shouldn't' need to do this again when moving between different 4.3 ROMS.

4. Install the ROM (My recommendation is the Ditto Note 3 v3 ROM) This ROM appears to have more up to date Note 3 features than the others I've tried. It also takes the stock approach and lets you customise it manually. So it's fast and stable.

5. Boot phone and see what's NOT working

6. IF NO WIFI - Install the bootloader from here via odin (select BL in odin)

7. IF NO NETWORK or "Emergency Calls Only" follow this thread located here and install the patched kernel and patched modem

If you've already done the above INCLUDING formatting the INTERNAL sdcard, then I'm at a loss as to why that would be happening. Also when it does happen does the mute icon become active in call?

Also try Hurricane Modem Changer v3

1. Download and copy to sdcard

2. Boot to recovery and install zip from and point to the zip file

3. Select a modem and try starting from lowest to highest ie: from MG1 up to MJ9

After each reboot test you have a network connection and no "Emergency Call Only" showing when you slide down the notification panel, and test the in call speaker\mic muted problem.

4. If either no network connection or "Emergency Calls Only" then follow step 7 above.

See if any of that makes a difference :)
[Galaxy Note II General] cYbOrG5:
Any KitKat user from globe here?
[Galaxy Note II General] alfonso1:
Thanks Mightymouse!

I have done your 1-7 above. In fact, my first 4.3 ROM is DN3 V2 coming from a 4.12 Phoenix and did a superwipe which formats the int sdcard. Since then I have been moving and trying other Roms because of this issue. DrKetan V3, Phoenix V15, Hurricane V5, DN3 V3 and now DrKetan V5 using the MJ5 bootloader ever since. I'm also a 240dpi freak so I have the Mannivinny mod always on top of the Rom but dunno if it has anything to do with the issue. I agree with you on DN3 V3 that it tops the list but DrKetan Custon V5 is a close second on performance. I thought this issue had something to do with the Kernel but I guess we don't have a choice currently but to use the stock kernel for the moment.

I will try to play around with the modem changer and see how it goes. Thanks Again!
[Galaxy Note II General] alfonso1:
Hi Mightymouse!

Just an update: I tried the Modem Changer as you instructed starting with MG1 all the way to MJ9. Never encountered the "Emergency Call Only" issue however "Speakerphone Mic mute" still unresolve in each of the modems.

Dunno if this has anything to do with it but I forgot to mention last time that every time I patch anything in CWM Recovery, I get the "Root Access Possibly lost, Fix?" message.

Granting this is NOT a hardware issue, what would you suggest I do to fix this? Is it a good Idea to just flash this stock ODIN MK4 Firmware? if Speakerphone issue is resolved, from there, go through the motion of Rooting and flashing DN3 V3 Rom?
[Galaxy Note II General] mightymouse2045:
Yeah definitely can try that - you should get the stock for your country and provider from sammys firmware, and see how that goes. That's flashed through odin so it should wipe everything it needs to....

Just quickly the superwipe I'm pretty sure it doesn't wipe the internal sdcard but I could be wrong. I looked through the script and didn't see it, but that was a while a go and maybe it's been updated to do that now?

See how you go with going back to stock, if it doesn't fix it you should probably look at setting your phone back to 100% stock and taking it in under warranty...

It doesn't realy make sense that it'd be hardware but if even a stock rom is doing then....?
[Galaxy Note II General] alfonso1:
Thanks Mightymouse! ...I now have something to do this weekend!:D
[Galaxy Note II General] TaoyaM:
Hi everyone I'm planing to install DN3 v3.1 on my phone is anybody here using Smart,Globe SP didn't experience imei error after flashing with this rom? What I mean is can we still use our phone to call and text smoothly. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
As long as the BASEBAND modem you installed is for 4.3 ROMS there will be no IMEI issues / network issues.

DMG1

MJ9

MJ5

MJ2

MI6

so far these are the compatible modems/basebands for 4.3
[Galaxy Note II General] TaoyaM:
Another big thanks to you warlycastro :) you always answer my inquiries. thanks. by the way what custom rom can you recommend to me, which is more stable in note 3 application base on your experience :) thanks again
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Ditto Note 3 by E-Team tops all 4.3 custom roms + note 3 features and stability so far. I recommend you this yet I'm not using it because I really don't need note 3 apps and features yet but already tried it for a week and it satisfies me in every day use. Removed all bloatwares.

Plus, you don't need other flashable zips and mods and fixes because they offer OTA updates for fixes. just download and flash the rom and boom! :)

hope it will help.
[Galaxy Note II General] TaoyaM:
Thanks again and again warlycastro. will start flashing :)
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Feel free to ask fellow kabayan. Happy flashing.

Yup, works with any Android running 4.0 or higher :good:

Just to avoid confusion, I'm talking about this one (SW2)... 'cause there's a SmartWatch Gen 2 (MN2) which was launched prior to my watch. Sometimes, the MN2 is mistakenly referred to SW2.
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
I just did my research and compared the specifications. It would be better to wait as both are not a must have nor a want for me. They seem like an Alpha or Beta stage of the upcoming smart watch. Thanks for the info man!
[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
Yup, more of a beta IMO. This is actually their 3rd release for a smart watch but it's still a work in progress. It suits fine for me since I regularly commute. I don't have to pull up my phone in public yet I can still check on updates.

And yes, I can shower with it :D

[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Before anything else please do research and look for tests so that you may see results then,

Set your phone to USB Debugging mode in Developer Options [.spoiler]

Download ODIN 3.07 for FLASHING [/spoiler](NO PERIOD ON [.spoiler]!)

1. Root your phone using Framaroot (apk file - easiest) download this

OR

Flash the latest SUPERSU 1.80 on your recovery (download)

Put this zip file to your EXTERNAL SD CARD

Simply power off your phone and when it's off press first VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON together and release the POWER BUTTON after 2 - 3 seconds if you see the White Logo Samsung Galaxy Note II Version. Then you should see this:

Then navigate using Volume up and down button and power button to proceed to your choice.

-Navigate to Apply Update from external storage

-Choose the Super SU 1.80.zip

-Choose YES

-Reboot

The phone should be rooted.

OR

You may check this complete of rooting by ODIN guide (see this)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Custom Recovery flash it via ODIN

I recommend you PhilZ Touch (see link)

just read it carefully via odin 3.07

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Then I recommend you custom roms like:

Before installing any custom roms you must FULL WIPE the phone. So you can save your data and apps by TITANIUM BACKUP in Google Play

or

You can backup it by CLOUD stock app in your phone.

DN3 v3.1.1

- (link to ROM)

Phoenix ROM v15 + 15.7 (OTA)

- (link to ROM)

Dr. Ketan ROM v6.1

- (link to ROM)

Again read the changelogs of the each rom to see what ROM you need.

But for newbies I suggest to choose DN3 v3.1.1 because it's near perfection 4.3

Some Warnings:

Don't flash the latest bootloader (MK4) because you won't be able to downgrade to 4.1.2.. Instead read this

thank you mate for reply.. if i root my phone do i still get an software update ( Samsung Software update ) ?
[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Just root? Uhm, when the device is rooted it's already at MODIFIED status.

There are some kinds of software updates:

1. via OTA - Over-the-air (the one located in our phone About>Software Update)

2. via ODIN - Flashing the latest firmware (must download)

so far the Philippines has no official update yet, for me it's not recommended to update in the latest firmware.

Why? read this
[Galaxy Note II General] monsterwing5566:
i would stick on 4.1.2. because some people said that 4.3 have knox and u cant downgrade it.. im little nervous right now what if i suddenly flash MK4.. soo nervous...

[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
You'll know soon enough that you can still downgrade but I prefer to go with a little more experience on this. Just read through the sub-forums and do research. Know how to use Odin, Download Mode, doing a backup of your EFS and system and you're good to go. By saying that I assume you already have researched how to perform a full wipe and to flash a ROM with a correct Md5.

[Galaxy Note II General] monsterwing5566:
it is smooth? and any found problems or bug? what are you using right now mate? DN3?
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
Sorry to butt in but to tell you from experience, every ROM is smooth even 4.3 ones.

Human errors are actually the problem. Just read feedbacks and always do a full wipe = problem solved.
[Galaxy Note II General] saprowling:
DN3 is smooth. Just follow the instructions and there will be no problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] monsterwing5566:
doing full wipe, all external and internal storage?

what is best way to root? ODIN,Framaroot?

Hope you guys can help me out.

[Galaxy Note II General] warlycastro:
Hi there.

If you're rooted. Install the latest Xposed Installer

And look for modules so that you won't flash any zips and it's easier than flashing if you don't want to leave 4.1.2

If you want to upgrade:

You may try dr. Ketan v6 it offers the featurea that you want by selecting to mods while installing it. I already tried this and yes it satisfied me.

And beware to the official india (mk4) its has non downgradable bootloader meaning you can't go back to 4.1.2

And latest (mk9) open europe still on testing mode.
