I dont have a whole lot of money left this month, but i would like to use the Donator-version.

How much do i need to Donate to get access to that?

PS: Thank you for your great work! I truly appreciate how simple it made modding my Note 2.

If you flash cwm recovery, make a nand backup using the tar format (important) and send me the boot.img file along with your model and build then I will check it and add support but will need someone to do testing.

I have never used Rom Manager so I dont know how it supports the devices its used on but I would guess its not fully compatible with the US Models. The first thing you could try is flashing the stock boot image and if that doesnt work then just flash a stock firmware image which should fix it.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 AUTO UPDATE [V2.3.1 - 3RD NOVEMBER 2012]

Changelog:

+Added Canadian carriers to the supported list:

Bell, Sasktel, Telus (SGH-I317/M)

Mobilicity, Videotron, Wind (SGH-T889/V)

This is mainly a clarification update as I mistakingly named the AT&T model as SGH-L317 instead of SGH-I317.

Also the Canadian carriers have been added to the Model Selection Screen as they use the same kernel as existing models.

Enjoy.

still can't do backups

I've tried all those things. Uninstalled everything, rebooted, reinstalled Note 2 Toolkit and Samsung drivers, rebooted phone: no dice; everything works except backup. Then I reinstalled the S3 Toolkit (declining to reinstall drivers), and the S3 Toolkit works fine, including backup. I've used both USB ports and two different USB cables that work fine in other situations. I tried disabling AV. Through it all, the Note 2's serial nunber shows and all other Tookit functions I try work properly.

Since it last worked, there are no newly installed apps, though I suppose some have been updated. But my S3 has the exact same apps installed as my Note 2. Any ideas on something to tweak on my phone? Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging is checked of course, but I don't see anything else there worth trying.

I do have that one backup that I did, so I could try verifying the restore function. That was a backup-all-system-apk-shared backup done 12 days ago. It's 50GB, so I guess it includes my external SD card stuff. I'd really rather not do such a lengthy restore and perhaps lose stuff I've done in the past 12 days. I made that huge backup just to do an initial test of the Toolkit.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
In theory if you have the drivers installed and you have usb debugging enabled then you have everything you need to perform an adb backup so its very strange that one function of adb would work (adb push/pull) but adb backup will not. I suppose if you want a definitive answer as to whether something on your phone is blocking it from working is to flash a stock rom to your phone, wipe it (to put it back to factory state) and try the adb backup function again. You could make a nand backup first to return your phone back to the previous state, just depends how bad you want to know whats gone wrong.

Oh no! I did 6, 2, 4, 1, flashed file "boot-insecure-alj1-SCHR950.tar" with odin, rebooted and now my phone is stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Note II" forever! Please help me!!!

I'm providing my device info I captured before the mess-up...

Edit:I can put into recovery mode and Download mode OK.

Also I found these stock Korean roms: http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?p=2830356

Big thanks go out to that forum member "phatrick" for posting.

You can find your exact build at http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=shv-e250s

Click on the Hotfile link on the right and download, extract the tar.md5 file and flash via odin the reflash the stock rom. I am currently downloading the newer of the 2 firmware images and will extract the boot image and root it as soon as its finished but my internet connection is slow and it will take me a good hour to get it.

If you dont mind I would like to send you an update with your model included (once it is done) to test if the rooted kernel works to root your phone. Korean carriers can prove troublesome sometimes so if it doesnt work you can easily flash the stock rom back.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mustasusi:
I'm currently downloading too, but my internet is slow as well (as it's only 2.5MB connection). I'll try it as soon as it's ready.

And here you have my boot image. I hope this leads to a solution. Till then I'll stick to my note 1, for I knew it would take awhile to set up. And this phone is factory unlocked, be it trouble making or not...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
I have attached a tarred up stock image from the newest build of SGH-E250S Model to flash via Odin. You can flash it to bring your phone back to life.

Also I am attaching the rooted boot image from the same build (vlj5). Please could you flash it and let me know if the phone boots up properly. If it does I will add it to the Toolkit so you can try the adb root process with that image.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Jimmy34742:
What I really want, of course, is to be able to do app backups--that's half of why I bought the Toolkit. I did use the Toolkit to install CWM, and I can also do nand backups from the Toolkit. But I would think that you would be very curious about what's going wrong with the Toolkit's app backup. I mean, given that everything else works, it's really weird that backups don't

I should also add that I tried using the Toolkit on another computer, but I get the same error. So it must be something about my phone's config. But I still don't see any significant change in the few days from when it worked to the time it stopped working.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mustasusi:
Thanks, my phone seemed to like your remedy, bravo!

Do you still want me to unzip the tar.md5 and flash it like you said before?

And what are the differences between the stock and the insecure?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
Did you flash both the boot images?

An insecure boot image will allow adb root access such as adb root/remount/push/pull functions which is needed to install root on a device via adb. A stock boot image will not.

No you do not need to unzip the stock firmware image if the files I sent fixed your phone.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
The apps backup function is and has always been a free part of the toolkit so I wonder why you keep stating over and over that you only 'bought' the toolkit for that reason (mainly)..

There also is absolutely nothing wrong with the apps backup function in the toolkit. As I said before that function is a part of adb which is made and updated by google and not by myself. The reason I suggested to flash a new stock firmware to your phone is because noone else that I can remember has flagged up this problem of only the apps backup failing and nothing else so the most likely cause is not the toolkit or the drivers or even your pc but your phone or something on your phone. Try this and if you still cannot perform an adb backup with a fresh wiped rom then we can explore other avenues.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Jimmy34742:
I liked that aspect so much that I thought it was worth supporting your effort even though you give most of the app away for free.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
Thank you.

Both did quite fair. Currently running the insecure one. How do we move from here?

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Magnus3D:
Quick question.. can you reduce the amount of compression on jpeg files to no compression at all ? if that's something you can adjust in the cameras firmware. That could eliminate lots of problems because jpeg compression is a common problem on cellphones. High compression also trashes gradients on skies and skintones.

If you could do something about that it would be great!

Tried, tested, confirmed - All is working properly!

Allinone CWM, TWRP, Superuser, SuperSU, Nandroid backup.

S U C C E S S ! ! !

Edit: TWRP is not giving me a real root although the SU icon is there, unless I don't know how to use it...

Now I would like to test a flash-counter reset, will you please?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
Thats good news I can add the other 2 korean carriers to the Toolkit and release a full version (as soon as the s3 toolkit has been updated).

What do you mean by twrp is not giving you root? What are you attempting to do and where is it going wrong?

You will have to go to the Triangle Away thread and ask Chainfire to add the korean models to the app. He may need the stock recovery image which I can provide him if he wants it. Thats the only current way to reset the flash counter.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
The only thing that can be changed to the camera in the media_profiles.xml file is the quality which by default is set to 90,80,70 which I assume gives the compression level. The mod sets all quality levels to 100. On the surface it doesnt appear to do much as the image filesize doesnt increase but I beleive it does benefit the noise in the image. I havent gone into depths with this so maybe someone can do more indepth testing and share their results.

By contrast the bitrate increase from the mod definitely does improve the camcorder quality and increases the filesize.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Magnus3D:
Oh ok, now i understand. It's limited to what you can do with the camera except for what you already have done with those media profiles. Thanks so much for your detailed explanation of it. I appreciate that.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mustasusi:
Just wondering:

Are you sure all Korean variants rely on the same kernel? Because as I tried flashing this rom with Odin (most likely intended for the S variant) - it failed and after that phone will no longer boot and all I can see is some Korean text and a phone icon..yellow triangle..PC [attachment 2]. Of course I don't speak Korean but it's obvious that isn't suitable. Reset, pulling out\in battery nor recovery affect anything. Only flashing back stock (or your) kernel.

Hey, I happen to have the exact same device. It looks like you've selected the wrong device. The developer has only released the updates which support the LTE version on the auto updater (i.e. the donate version).

I originally used this method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933542) which supports LTE root. Alternatively you can wait for the dev to release the LTE update on this thread or donate to get the auto updates.

Did you flash another ROM image onto your device? If you did, get hold of the LTE image [GT-N7105_TPH_1_20120927221908] (I can PM you a link) and flash that. I flashed it on my device and it works perfectly fine.

Thanks for you help wrapper

I still a bit confused about what to do next,

My limited knowledge (after rooting and flashing some devices, ) tell me when there is not signal/wifi/BT something must be wrong with the radios / kernel... Is weird the no imei number tho,

After i rooted i did not try other roms or anything, and I would like to have a better idea of what I need to do next, before i start again...

For what I understand I have 3 options?

I can wait until the new version of toolkit have my builds, or using the the donate version to repeat the whole process

another option is to try the method (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1933542) which supports LTE root.

and the latter is to ask you for some file that i need to flash using recovery ?

what really confuses me is the last bit

I have no idea of what is it, but in the meantime i will google and do it..

edit: I found a threat with the EFS backup is a very easy process http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901098

and I made a backup (i wonder whats the point is not already damaged mine?)

sorry that I ask you to confirm everything again but time I want to be 100 sure about the next steps

and also I hope this post can help some noob as i am.. :confused:

thanks a lot

Kernel version 3.0,31-310959

Build number JRO03C.N7105XXALJ3

I have attached a picture of the About page from the GT-N7105 to avoid confusion.

None of the options in the Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit Version 2.3.1 matches perfectly what is shown as the Build JRO03C.N7105XXALJ3 on my phone.

INTERNATIONAL GSM MODEL (GT-N7100)

3. Android 4.1.1 (Build JRO03C ALJ3)

INTERNATIONAL LTE MODEL (GT-N7105)

4 Android 4.1.1 (Build JRO03C ALIJ)

It would appear that I should select 4. But my GT-N7105 phone Build is JRO03C.N7105XXALJ3 which presumably is Build JRO03C ALJ3 which appears to match Menu Selection 3 which is for GT-N7100 instead !

Thanks for advise Chongox

I just thought I add a couple of more thoughts after reading some additional threads.

Apparently, XXALJ3 comes about because of an OTA from XXALIJ

So perhaps that explains why Menu selection 4 shows :

INTERNATIONAL LTE MODEL (GT-N7105)

4 Android 4.1.1 (Build JRO03C ALIJ)

However, knowing that still does not answer the question in my mind whether it is safe to use Menu Selection 4 which reflects an older build of Build JRO03C ALIJ now that I'm on Build JRO03C ALJ3 .

I have used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit successfully for my Galaxy Nexus and have enjoyed the all in one convenience which drew me to this Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit

I hope mSkip would kindly provide some clarity soon on this.

I'm tempted to use the method suggested below for the time being instead as that seems to have worked and actually, all I'm interested at this point in time is just to root the phone so that I can use rooted apps, like Titanium Backup, Tasker etc. Not really going to get into flashing Custom ROMs for now.
