If I remember correctly you backup on mc3 not on mg1

Yes Dr. That is what I said.I already have a Back up of MC3 which is stored in my extSd Card and also in PC.My question now is whether I have to backup MG1 also and keep both of them.Actually which will be needed for restoring if an unfortunate situation arises?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I recommend to keep both. Older for anytime you need to downgrade device.

Backup on mg1 for if any issue occur on new rom.

Have you confirmed your imei is same as it was before replacing mobo ?

Download the stock firmware (unrooted) from Sammobile or any threads in dev section.

Triangle away, unroot and go to download mode (volume down+home+power - release power while Note II logo shows while booting)

Flash the unrooted stock via ODIN

That should do it.

Hey guys, I have a problem.

My Note 2 is not actually charging. I mean when I connect it to a charger (the one u get with it), its showing as charging, but % remains the same even after half an hour. Tried different wall sockets but the same result. I dont have any other 2 amp charger currently.

Its 7% battery currently, so please tell me what to do, Im nervous:crying:
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thanks again Dr.So I shall keep both the Backups.And I already confirmed that the IEMEI is the same before and after the change of Mother Board -starting with 3536.

PS : And finally I flashed your PreRooted MG1.It all went quite smoothly.Installed Titanium and restored my previous apks including MOdin 3.76. Now the status is also normal.However I did not check the counter as it is established that the it will not rise with this method.

Also I have taken Backups of EFS Terminal Emulator and Andromizer apk.Also kept a copy of the same in my Laptop.

So thank you Dr. very very much for the kind and continuous helping hand extended to me inspite of your busy schedule.
[Galaxy Note II General] jdomadia:
Did you try to connect threw pc?
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
Dr.

I am having problem with root itself as supersu is crashing when any apps request root access.

Hence the triangle away also not work

If i go back to dmb2 with cf auto root method is it possible. Will that cause any problems with efs itself. I have efs back before i flashed the firmware.

I am going to unroot finally.

Tried an old USB cable I had from my Galaxy 3, its charging the phone, now 15% battery.

I want to ask if USB cable is covered under warranty? and Are all Usb Cables same? Will Note 2 require a specific usb cable for charging or the old one will work well?

and How much Time does a normal Note 2 takes for charging?

My note 2 takes too much, a little more than 3 minutes for 1% charge

Download supersu update zip from supersu thread of Chainfire

Flash that zip with cwm/twrp

Then once issue get solved reflash stock recovery and reset counter.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
How to flash with cwm twrp i dont understand. Looks like either super su is messed up or this rom

Can i go back go dmb2 or unrooted state and how?

Download supersu update zip from here

Copy to sd card

And flash from cwm recovery.
[Galaxy Note II General] funjabi:
Here is the latest.

After I updated My phone to the latest MG1, the 88MB update via OTA, my phone battery was 19%.

I kept it in charging using the old USB cable which I got with My 3 year old Galaxy 3 and slept. Now when I woke up, BOOM its 97% charged in a little under 2 hours.

So before the update, the same usb cable took 37 minutes to charge from 7-19 %. and then 2 hours from 19-97%.

So maybe there was something wrong in the software which got patched, and maybe using a different cable helped too.

:rolleyes: Samsung you clever bas*****. I'm not sure from when but they now have blocked ota update installation.

So, I just came back to stock from an nandroid backup. Me being lazy I figured why not go for an ota update instead of downloading the 1 or more gb firmware and rooting it. So, after getting my device back to normal and protecting my root using voodoo I downloaded the 88 mb update and I hit install halfway to 30 percent I ended up with an warning sign and my device rebooted stating my device is modified.

Bottom line

For those of you who are stock rooted downloading the entire rom and flashing it with Odin is the only way. But you can save up an minute by downloading Docs pre rooted rom.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
If you downgrade, you will lose baseband and imei

Tou have to restore efs backup if you made it earlier on older rom.

Otherwise flash modem from mg1
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
Question is why it is not working with dmg1 super su crashes evry time an app ks opemed which requires root.

Titanium opened shows its not rooted.

I have efs backup taken today before I flashed rom. Will that be okay?

How do k restore efs backup from computer or phone

Something corrupted.

Flash older rom you having. Then reflash mg1 (you can flash prerooted too)
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Okay then you might have broken root. Try rooting again. I don't think it will. Most likely EFS won't get affected, but you should always backup just to be safe IMO. Go ahead and re root it and repeat what I'd suggested.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:

Thanks doc

But i flashed dmg1 modem via odin

And every thing is normal now

Although there is something wrong with either your prerooted rom or supersu

Firstly i reflashed dmg1 still no luck

Supersu gave error which read

Thers is no binary installed and super su cannot install it.

I flashed dmb2 which i had

Then cf auto root

Lost network in process restored using flashing modem from dmg1

Now i am on dxmb2 stock

Still the supersu crashes and apps require root are not functioning.

I am wondering whether i am on dxmb2 or dmg1 something is wrong with supersu or binary which installed

i am not sure whether to remain on dxmb2 or update ro stock dmg1

Unroot remains distant site as first i have to root to reset rhe counter.

I will download stock dmg1 will see if it works properly or any update to supersu

I really appreciate your immediate help

And advice and apologise for any inconvenience. Once again thank you very much.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
There is no issue in prerooted rom as nearly 100 download already there(myself using same) , but something messed up in your device causing issue. This is likely to happen once you downgrade to older rom after mf/mg/me6 you will lose imei. (read post #1 of prerooted rom) either you need to restore efs or you have to use latest modem.

Have you factory reset with custom recovery? If yes reset using stock recovery flash stock unrooted rom.

Then update to stock latest rom(can be prerooted )

but its an s4 style cover for note , now i heard s4 has some feature that only lights up the cut out screen dimensions , instead of the whole screen , is it s4 feature ? or 4.22 feature ?

how this cover will work with note 2? will it behave like s4? anybody having custom 4.2.2 rom on note 2 can tell me anything that tells me that i can use this cover ??

There is this little known browser called 'Naked Browser' which I love. It is extremely light, and performs every single function an android browser should/could. The interface might seem a little stripped down to you the first time you use it, but the availability of a huge amount of options covers for that. I used to use Dolphin HD on a device which has serious memory loss issues, and used to get many regular force closes. The problem solved itself once I started using NB. Try the free version, it might help.

Auto enable means 'grant' always is not good option security wise.

I also used this browser (Naked) in my earlier phone (Motorola).It is developed by an xda developer.It is extremely fast and efficient in spite of it's light weight due to it's nakedness.When came to Note I am content with the stock.Of course I uninstalled Chrome due to it's extra heaviness.

Edit Also why don't you try Puffin browser?It is extremely fast and efficiently plays videos inside web using html instead of flash.I have installed it in my Note 2 uninstalling Chrome.

No, it will disable the ads on a webpage not the flash contents. But disabling ads on a webpage makes it look weird because those places will be filled up with white space instead of ads.

Remote Flash

Hello Dr.,I found a thread regarding an apk for flashing files remotely without using USB Code..It can also flash multi zips too.However a pc and custom recovery is needed.Will it be an alternative to Mobile ODIN? Copy of the link to thread is given below for detailed reference.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2307677
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I have not check in detail, but just to answer your query shortly

it's not for you, for which you want

It can't replace Mobile odin as you said it needs custom recovery so warranty will be void and flash counter will be raised.

Now out of this next question will be which recovery will support. author insis TWRP.

So what benifit i see is just do it without transfering file manually, rest will remain same as philz recovery.

[Galaxy Note II General] shhbz:
well there is nothing left to hate after expecting 4.2.2 updates samsung skipped the release but still i dont find it true as the leak build for s3 signifies that there was something cooking out there in samsung but with the news for 4.3 it seems that no updates for us for atleast 3 months from now and people actually was concerned about the s4 features to be integrated rather than update to 4.2.2 as if samsung would have rolled out those features even with the version name to 4.1.2 ppl here would have been happy .

so hopefully our wait brings good results from samsung with the 4.3 update

till then long live omega and wannamlite :highfive: and like post towards these roms begin

In a way, yes. With great power comes great risk. On the other hand, other ways of modifying your phone are also open to malicious coding. For more details see this post.

Xposed itself might be harmful.
