Guys, can you check if I am getting a good battery life? I just had this note 2 a couple of days and not sure about the battery life. .

Also, can anyone advise how I can toggle my network mode to 3g or LTE only? It sometimes get 2g if I have low signal..
[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Hi mate! Welcome to this thread! It is not such a bad thing you got a Korean Note 2. It should work without any problems. If you encounter some, please post them and we shall try to solve it.

The only issue, in my opinion, is the lack of custom ROMs. There are a lot more for N7100. But now, with 4.3 update we also got working Note 3 features on our phones (like Air Command). So you should try it after you do little research.

Good luck!

Hi, thank you for the reply! Okay I have encountered a problem - phone works fine on Telus/Koodo network (although I couldn't manage to enable the LTE network) but when I try to insert a Rogers or Fido Sim card, it says 'no sim.' Any idea why it's like this?

[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
Are you on 4.1.2 or 4.3?

You could try CWM, TWRP or Philz Recovery for t0lte. Either one works great.

i was not even manged to install the previous 4.3 ROM you found on badu..i flashed it from rooted 4.1.2 in TWRP recovery after full wipe and all steps u mentioned but phone was just switched off after flashing 4,3 and nothing was happening so i restored 4.1.2

[Galaxy Note II General] razvan11malancus:
The link I gave is for DN3 ROM for e250s. Everything works (AirCommand, Note 3 Weather Widget), no FCs yet.

You can make it work also for e250 l/k if you extract with 7zip boot.img and modem.bin from stock ROM and replace those in the ROM. I shall come back with some details after the holiday break. I am now on 3g and cannot upload files.

You should be able to get 4.3 ROM on your device.

Try installing a custom ROM. It should work after you change to a custom ROM.

You don`t have to flash gapps for this ROM. I know that GApps are for AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs only.You could try but I do not think that this is the problem.

Root after Samsung update?

I downloaded and installed a software update for the phone... I think it was a Samsung update? Does this change the ability of the current root package to work? Still running 4.3, I think there was just a major update to Touchwiz (not sure if this is new or not but I just did it today).
[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
You are right it did not work either. I have tried flashing different Gapps.

Problem is google account is missing in accounts. When it boot after flashing it dont give me option to sign in with google account. Here is how I flashed

I was on 4.1.2 so first I wiped everything(system, cache, data, internl sd) then flashed stock 4.3 in odin after that flash dn note 3 ..can u tell if any step missing in there

it didnt boot at all for me to do a kernl flash.. 20 mins now and it is still stuck at the Samsung galaxy note II screen.

The jedi site says, flash rom, wipe dalvik cache

reboote, wait for 10 mins, dont touch the phone

after the 10 mins, reboot again

well am i supposed to wait for something to happen after 10 mins? do i just reboot it anyways after 10 mins?

Glad that you managed to restore your Milan back. Try to do a Nandroid next time as well, just to be safe. :p

Seems like the modems vary with the K, L & S variants, as you can see with hannsz's baseband. Anyway, if you're willing to take the risk again, delete the modem.bin from the Jedi zip (without unzipping the package) & try flashing again (credits to sjkoon who kindly gave me this advice). Do a Nandroid first...

After flashing stock 4.3 in Odin I assume you have flashed a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP or Philz). Did you do full wipes after that? Before flashing DN3 I mean.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

I have posted a link before with DN3 ROM. I did not try that but I have tried a modified version of that ROM (I have replaced boot.img and modem.bin for N7105 with those for e250s) and it works flawlessly.

I shall upload that ROM this weekend and also a tutorial to make it work for e250k/l also.

This ROM has all Note 3 features and keeps stock look.

[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
Rizvan i have tried the DN3 ROM from link you posted. You said that you have tried modified version of this ROM ..may be thats why you are not getting the same error as my note 2 is also e250s. I gave up after trying many methods of flashing

1) I have tried flashing DN3 straight from rooted stock 4.1.2 in twrp recovery but it did not boot after flashing and just went off after rebooting

2) i tried flashing stock 4.3 on top of 4.1.2 after full wipe and then flashed DN3 in ODIN and after that flashed recovery and root in odin..it went fine but then i cannot find google account and working play store after reboot. everything else was working ok

3) i went to recovery TWRP again and did full wipe and then went to flash DN3 but then it got stuck on samsung logo

may be you share the method u used and the modified version which you flashed ..thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] procrystalation:
I'm sorry; what I meant is that I am not rooted yet but would like to root. I'm not very familiar with how exactly rooting works but I hear that if you get an OTA update on a phone, you cannot root until a specific rooting method comes out for that new version. What I am wondering is if the current Note 2 rooting methods (I would link but I'm a noob so I can't) are now voided because I have installed this new software update (but I'm pretty sure its a Samsung update because I'm pretty sure I was running 4.3 both before and after the update).

Thank you so much btw razvan, you're like the hero of this thread, answering everybody's questions :D I was worried there's be no support for this variant of the phone in the forums. And sorry if my questions weren't clear enough before. I hope I clarified well enough! I really wanna root the phone and install a custom ROM and see if that fixes the whole ordeal about the phone not working on Rogers.

Modified DN3 ROM (with Note 3 features) - e250s

Hi mates, this is the link to the ROM

http://www.gfile.ro/?do=fD&fI=2aed763dd2fe769d819f388295d5fa08&eH=b8a4f3b98b98ce72cec0beea2d191c60

Maybe someone can mirror it to another server (this is local).

This ROM is 4.3 based (stock look) with Note 3 features (AirCommand, Weather Widget, etc).

Steps required to have a fully functional ROM:

1. Prerequisites: 4.3 based TW ROM with custom recovery installed.

2. Make sure you have on internal storage both the ROM and the zip file of SuperSU (http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip).

3. Reboot your phone to recovery.

4. Full wipes (factory, cache, dalvik cache).

5. Install ROM (it has AROMA installer, so when you will be asked please select N7105 as your device).

6. Select whatever apps you want to install (you will have this option).

7. VERY IMPORTANT: You will not grant root access if you miss this step. Please do not reboot after installing (deselect Reboot option, so you may exit from AROMA installer but still remain in recovery).

8. Flash SuperSU.zip that you have already put it on your internal storage.

9. Reboot your phone.

10. Hope that everything is as expected and you have all Note 3 features and also root access.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

The ROM I have uploaded is only for E250S. I think it will not work for K or L versions.

To make it work you need the following programs: 7zip, Apk Tool and SignApk. You will also need stock Sammy ROM for your version.

1. Extract boot.img and modem.bin from stock ROM using 7zip (you will get an error when opening - never mind).

2. Rename DN3.zip ROM from the link above to DN3.apk and place this ROM in Apk Tool, in a folder named ”place-apk-here-for-modding”

3. Open script.bat, select current project (option 24), then extract apk (option 3).

4. After you have extracted the apk, do not close the script, go to the the folder named ”projects” and put boot.img and modem.bin you have extracted in step one in the following folders: DN3/kernelmodem (for boot.img) and DN3/kernelmodem/modemn7105 (for modem.bin)

5. Go back to the script and select zip apk (option 3 I think), then select to zip it as a system apk

6. After zip process has finished you may go to the initial folder from Apk Tool (”place-apk-here-for-modding”), where you will see another file. Rename that file to update.zip and copy it to SignApk program, in resources folder.

7. From SignApk, choose Start.bat and select option 2 (to sign a ROM). Wait about 5-7 minutes until this process finishes and you will see another file named update-signed.zip. This one is your modified version of the ROM, wich you can install it as mentioned in the post above.

Hope you can make it work! Good luck!

I do not know if you need to be rooted before flashing this ROM. I had root access before but do not know if it is mandatory.

Maybe does not boot if you come from stock 4.3. Try first the other ROM that did not have google account. And install the new ROM on top of it after following all the steps I have mentioned.
[Galaxy Note II General] Rajaasim1980:
