Yep, that”s me. :)

Installed fine SkyNote ROM on e250s from TWRP recovery (from CMW could not do it) but it just stays at logo screen. I think the problem should be with the boot converter. Someone pointed that the boot converter does not work with TW versions. I don”t know.

I am kind of stuck. Have no idea what could I try next. Tried different kernels (Devil and Thor) with no luck. Maybe they do not support TW 4.3 on our phones. With SJKernel I had problems. Also with Saber. When trying to install AOSP 4.3 ROMs, got boot loops.

I tried yesterday to install a 4.4 ROM (Cyanogen 11 and Omni), everything went fine after changing asserts line from update -script in Cyanogenmod, but I did not have GSM network with any of this ROMs. I do not know what could be the problem, as I assume, the modem remains the same after flashing. Forgot to check.

Anyway, if someone manages to install SkyNote or a 4.4 ROM without issues, please let me know.
[Galaxy Note II General] cYbOrG5:
my e250k was buzzing with its 25mbps LTE connection until yesterday. when it decided to not get a data signal. it can text/call but switches back and forth with G/3G. i brought it to globe this lunch and they replace the sim but still the same. i brought it to where i got it and they flash old kvmb6 firmware and still the same.. the option in mobile networks where you can select LTE/G/3G is gone. the hidden menu also can select either All 3g, or ALL lte or ALL g....which i tried and yet get the same result. unstable/non existent data / internet connection.

PLEASE HELP....

So I have the SHV-E250S, does anyone know if the battery back cover is the same as the US/other variants?

I'm looking to get a leather battery back cover and was wondering if it would fit.

Much appreciated.

Yes, those fit...

Can you make a boot converter for a 4.3 TW ROM?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Can you make a 4.3 TW ROM boot converter for e250s? I have tried to install some 4.3 TW ROMs for N7105 but I cannot get past logo screen.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] bawffg85:
It is the same as 4.12.
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Did you manage or try to install any 4.3 TW ROM?

I have tried to install SkyNote, Lion ROM but when rebooting, the phone just stays at logo screen (even after flashing the boot converter).

I have managed to install AOSP 4.3 ROMs and also 4.4 ROMs (like CM11, OmniROM or Slim) but I haven”t succeded yet with a 4.3 TW ROM. Any idea would be appreciated!

Thanks mate!
[Galaxy Note II General] bawffg85:
I had tried tw and cm11,you must keep them pure.For tw,you can flash stock tar just with system and boot with odin,then flash convertor in rec.For cm11,also an unmodified kernel is ok.
[Galaxy Note II General] mykelabra:
I guess we're stuck with the 4.1.2 tw rom until a kernel gets developed for us. Hmmm. But i felt a little relieved upon reading that you managed to install a 4.4 rom using converter. I will definitely try installing a 4.4 rom later.
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Stock 4.3 TW ROM for our e250s has been released today by Samsung. I shall try it later. I hope I can manage to root it and get rid of the bloatware.

Edit: Can be rooted with Philz Recovery flashed as PDA in Odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
Yea let us know if u were able to root it..i would also like to get rid of korean apps
[Galaxy Note II General] DudePharaoh:
yeah.. the best way to get rid of those apps, after you root, is to get something like root toolbox, go to root browser

and go to 2 folders

system/apps

data/app

all the apps are stored there, korean and others.. just look for whatever u wanna delete, long press, and delete that sucker, and you are good to go..

i did that on my E250k
[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
I actually use titanium.backup to uninstall system apps. I freezed them first to find out if they are safe to remove because some system apps are part of ROM..

My 4.1.2 is so stable and faster after i removed all samsung bloatware and using nova prime launcher with glass theme

Can we root our e250s with 4.3 same way as others LTE model?
[Galaxy Note II General] DudePharaoh:
as far as i know.. yes you can..

Chainfire came up with the rooting tool for the 4.3

make sure though u do a nandroid backup first before you install the 4.3

and also make sure you have the needed kernel ready for your phone to boot up.. you dont want to be stuck at the Galaxy samsung Note II screen ;)

and i agree,, the 4.1.2 which i currently have.. nothing beats it, so far, when it comes to stability and efficiency...
[Galaxy Note II General] mykelabra:
If that's the case, maybe we can try to extract the kernel out of that stock rom and use it on another rom like that rocket rom on at&t which had the aircommand. I'm not that sure tho, i suppose the roms are just the same for the lte version but just differs on the kernel.

Miscom also had a rooted 4.3 tw rom which has no baseband update, i wonder if we can use stock e250s kernel so that it wont get stuck on boot screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Yes, but how to extract the kernel? I have tried to install SkyNote ROM (which has Air Command and other Note 3 aps) by replacing the boot.img in the zip file, but again, with no luck. Still hangs at boot logo.

Maybe we can manage to install a proper ROM if we change the kernel, but how?
[Galaxy Note II General] heartog:
i have a SHV-E250S and when i updated to 4.3 stock, some album art will not show properly with the stock music app and the home button doesn't work sometimes. I will have to press it 2-3 times to go back to the home screen from an app.

and, did anyone find a way to root it?
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
I have root it. Just install Philz Recovery in Odin (as PDA) and then flash Super SU from the following link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103

Hope it helps!

My problem is that our ROM does not support lockscreen app shortcuts and I do not know how to enable it. In 4.1.2 I have managed to add those by replacing SystemUI.apk and SecSettings.apk from a N7105 ROM and also some framework file, which name I cannot remember :)

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

Does not have those problems. Maybe you did a dirty install. just try to do all 3 wipes and then install the ROM in Odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] heartog:
i did mines through kies
[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
I have installed phil recovery and tried to root it by flashing file

Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip

[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
There is another file in the link. Super SU 1.65. You may also install root when you reboot from Plhilz Recovery. You are being asked if you want to root it. Just click yes.
[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:

[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
Actually i flashed 4.3 in odin without factory reset or format data and after it got installed all my 150 apps in previous ROm was there so i guess i will give it a try again after formatting system

I updated to 4.3 using a "Mobilicity T889V" ROM from the T-Mobile forum and flashing the E250L 4.3 Modem and kernel on top of it. Rooted, knox free, and none of that Korean bloat added to it.
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Can you upload and give me the link to our 4.3 modem and kernel? Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
What is knox? Yea it seem good because i dont like the korean.dial pad and useless app in stock 4.3. How did you extract modem and kernel from ROM and made it flashable
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
Kernel : http://pan.baidu.com/s/1zkxgO

Modem : http://pan.baidu.com/s/19ZMji

I made these directly from the MK7 firmware. Flash them in CWM/TWRP, not ODIN.
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Thanks mate!

I shall give a try with SkyNote ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

How did you extracted those? I have e250s and if it does not work with your kernel I want to extract it from e250s build.
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
Extract the boot.img (kernel) and modem.bin(well...) out of the new ROM and make it a flashable zip using one of many tools. I think this one still works.

ROM compatibility issue

Hello

Im interested in buying this phone, and I love flashing custom ROMS kernels etc.

and Im not sure if this device(sgh-e250k) is compatible with International (n7100 or n7105) note 2 roms.

Can anyone confirm if our device are compatible with International ROMs?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] DudePharaoh:
It will work with the 7105. Not 7100. When u flash the 7105 dont flash modem other wise you will brick your e250k
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
It won't brick it, you just need ensure you flash the proper modem, too.

A lot of 7105 ROMs don't work at all for me, too. Really hit or miss.
[Galaxy Note II General] DudePharaoh:
long time no seen buddy.. welcome back.

for it,, I did brick my phone when I installed the first 7105 international rom. Thank god I was able to unbrick it.

I guess I got lucky with that one. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
I think since there are so many damn problems with the 4.3 ROMs, I'm going to make a custom stock one minus KNOX and all of the Korean bloatware for my friends on this forum that should work 100% on the E250SKL phones.
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
It would be great! thanks mate!

Could you also try to add some note 3 features like Snote, weather widget or AirCommand? I have tried those but I think since stock ROM is odexed, they do not work.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

As far as I know, you cannot install it. It is only for N7100. It is a great ROM, but unfortunately, we cannot use it.
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
Sorry, I'm not a ROM builder or anything like that. I'm going to just make a regular, stock ROM, rooted, KNOX removed, deodexed built on the E250 base. I'll remove all of the Korean apps, change the MMS and Phone software to the N7105 stock, and use an AROMA installer to select which modem and kernel to install. I'll also use the AROMA installer to give you a chance to remove even more stuff.

I just like a nice stock ROM. Once I have a build that works for me, I'll upload it and let you guys with the E250S and K tell me how it works.
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Ok. Thanks man. Just a thing. Do you know how can we add shortcuts to the lockscreen? It seems that our ROM does not have those.
[Galaxy Note II General] lilliput222:
I was thinking the same before this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504016&highlight=korea&page=88

read the chat for guy "Spidey24" . Firstly he flashed DN3 rom which gave him stuck at boot then he managed to flash rom successfully but with unknown imei and baseband n all . later he fixed this prob by flashing proper modem ,,,
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
I've got the first version of my stock ROM ready to upload today. Only 750mb, nice and stable and quick.

Can you give me a link to Ultimate ROM? Do you have a Korean Note 2, don”t you?
[Galaxy Note II General] mykelabra:
Wow mann. I'm really excited about that upload man. I won't mind not having the note 3 features so long as i can update to 4.3. evenetually, sooner or later maybe someone would be bored and port the note 3 features to our phones.
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
It might be just a little bit longer. I've found a few bugs in what I've done trying to keep the size down. I'm not very experienced at the ROM building thing, so sorry if it takes more time. The good news is that the complete ROM is around 650-675MB...much smaller than the stock one. It's completely no frills.

Once I work out this bug (packages won't install...not sure why), I'll upload it. Sorry for the wait everyone!

There are some problems right now. The L version seems to be a lot different than the S and K with 4.3 and it hasn't been completely figured out yet. The ROMs work for me but I have no WIFI on my E250L, and the custom ROM I've been making using the E250L base doesn't work right on the S and K models.

GREAT ROM

TEGRA OWNERS SITE

Galaxy Note2 Tegraowners JB-MR2(4.3.1) ROM v3
[Galaxy Note II General] hannsz:
I guess the solution right now is downgrading the bootloader.

If I could find out how to extract the sboot.bin, param.bin, and Tz.img from the stock ROMs I would create flashable zips for each model and that would let us use ROMs built for other devices again.

There's no activity in doing such on the Chinese forums yet. I know Teamleader (Koxda.com group leader) is working on a ROM and the proper bootloaders, but until he releases it there's nothing I can do.

I could make a quick "debloat" script if anyone wanted one that would remove....everything Samsung related and unnecessary for regular function.

PA-ROM E250S/K/L TW 4.3 From Vietnam

Hi guy!

You can try a custom Rom made by me

Make sure your model (S,K,L) and choose there.

After installation, if you don't have fully Root. Please once root again by Odin 3.07...

And then you can flash CWM (xxx.tar file first)

After all, flash Update.zip

Note: - You have to make full wipe and format cache, system before installation Rom

- Because I'm Vietnamese so you can choose your language at startup.

- Its the first version so don't have any Note3 feature

Very fast, smooth and stable....:laugh::laugh::laugh:

(My English so poor...:p:p:p:p:p)

IMSFramework has Stopped on 4.3

Hi...

I flashed latest version of 4.3 on my SHV-E250S, I rooted it with Chainfire CR-Root (http://download.chainfire.eu/278/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t0lteskt-t0lteskt-shve250s.zip)

after running for few hrs.. i start getting IMSFramework has stopped and this message just does not go away,, can not operate anything after this message comes

I tried

- removed Note 2 hidden setting - worked for a bit longer time ... but problem came back

- tried to not remove any application - again worked for some time but problem came back

everthing seemed to be working fine, but when i put phone down for a night sleep.. there was this error again, ate way my batetry and phone switched off... again had to flash it to recoever

finally i reflashed... this time i have not rooted and it is working fine...

any suggestion how i can avoid IMSDframework error and still have a rooted phone

Cheers

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

razvan11malancus: Thanks a ton.. followed your suggestion of installing the philz_touch method to root there was no issue till i restarted....no luck.....

by the way can you guide me on how to get call waiting and call conference feature in the SHV-e250S...this service has been enabled by my operator and the SIM on another phone S2 gives me this feature... but my Korean Note 2 does not

Try to flash Philz Recovery in Odin and then SuperSU. There is a link a couple of pages back.

Hope it works and you shall get root access. I have on mine (e250s).

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

There are 3 files for e250s in Stock Rooted folder. Which one should I download?
[Galaxy Note II General] Binhnt68:
If your phone on 4.3 now, you can ignore this folder (Stock Rooted). If not, you have to download 3 files then use split tool to join it (because stock firmware so big)

Right now you can choose your model in PA-ROM folder... download and flash it....

After phone reboot, if its not fully rooted, choose xxx.tar (CF Auto Root) at ROOT folder and flash by Odin... then open CWM folder and download cwm-recovery.tar file (This will have CWM on your phone)

Everything is DONE!!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
I am on stock 4.3. Do I have to install only the update? Still have to do full wipe?

Thanks!

EDIT: I have seen the PA-ROM folder in which there is a zip file to install. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] Binhnt68:
:D:D:D:D After install PA-ROM... youn may have a little more.... Go to Update folder..... and flash update file

[Galaxy Note II General] mykelabra:
First off, thanks a lot for your work. I was about to sell this phone coz i was running out of hope that this will be updated. Mehehe i am still running 4.1.2, now can i download PA Rom directly and install via odin or do i need to install stock rooted first?
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:

[Galaxy Note II General] Binhnt68:
Yes of course. That action make the phone clear all ready!

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

You have to install stock firmware first. Root is not necessary at the moment.

If you have CWM (from 4.1.2) then you must do all wipe and format cache, format system... then flash PA-ROM....
[Galaxy Note II General] smessica:

Is the stock 4.3 you provided Knox free?

Which modification were applied on it?
[Galaxy Note II General] Binhnt68:

[Galaxy Note II General] smessica:
I'm currently on 4.1.2 .

I understand that I first need to flash the stock 4.3 located under the project.

Would not that bring knox?

Then the pa-rom will remove it?

Am I missing something?

Sorry for the followup questions.
[Galaxy Note II General] mykelabra:
So, I followed everything and now running PA Rom. Everything seems to be working fine. It is rooted, and no bloatware, thanks for the custom rom.

for everyone coming from 4.1.2, here's how i managed to do it.

1st: Download Stock Rooted files, yes, all 3 of them, and download HJsplit or any app that can merge split files.

2nd: Merge the split files.

3rd: Put your phone into download mode by pressing the lock button, volume down, and home button together and when some korean characters shows up, press the volume up button.

4th: Open Odin and click on PDA and navigate to where the stock rooted rom is located, make sure that re-partition is not checked or else you're gonna have big problems.

5th: once it's done, you can boot it up or you can use odin to flash the cfautorootxxxxx.tar and afterwards also flash cwm_recovery.tar so you would have cwm running.

6th: Enter cwm, and flash PA Rom.after it boots up, then there you have it. 4.3 rooted, debloated and running.

Thanks to Binhnt68..
