[Galaxy Note II General] Option58:
Gosh! I've just installed official Android 4.4 back! I cannot believe how crappy it is and how could someone even use it (and how could I even use it earlier lol)! Bloatware filled, painfully slow outdated crap (with Korean language lol). I cannot understand how can big company such as samsung allow itself to have such bad rom when cyanogen (And probably [MENTION=6028966]Strawberry_dev[/MENTION] with awesome widzard kernel) proved you can have normal rom and everything is ok with hardware! Or maybe they are telling us to buy Note 4, because if it wasn't for this I would buy another phone for sure! Now it runs like an iPhone...

Anyway, I am begging whoever reads this to just try lollipop cyanogenmod. You can never go back, I promise. It feels like downgrading to Galaxy S2 my friend has!

And [MENTION=5112077]BarakOsama[/MENTION] nice work. You at least debloated it to some extent (not as nearly as CM did - not your fault you couldn't do any better) and removed Korean!
[Galaxy Note II General] cybertech:
So this lollipop cyanogenmod really is good and fast?

Btw are those steps at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60048050&postcount=1644 still the same and seems like this CM12 nightly almost every day there is newer version.
[Galaxy Note II General] Option58:
Yep. They are the same. And yep it is still daily so small bugs are expected here and there.

But there are so much more bugs on stock, believe me. After month of usage I I could not go back , I was shocked how bad stock ROM is :D

Flash Sabermod CyanogenMod 12 .1 as it is better than official. And be sure to change LCD density back to 320 under settings>display and lights

Is it possible to swap E250K motherboard with an N7105 one?

Or are they physically incompatible?

Thought I'd lay my hands on a broken N7105 and swap motherboards between them.
[Galaxy Note II General] cybertech:
Aright, will try the Sabermod CyanogenMod 12 .1 on my SHV-E250S this coming weekend and if problem appear, will have 2 days to try out and resolve them.
[Galaxy Note II General] Giuann:
Sorry but am very new to this, it's a little am using the Note 2 and it works fine, the only annoying things are the request to have a Korean sim to check Android updates (no problem with google play apps updates) which is no big deal since I dunno if there will ever be an upgrade to 4.4.2 for the Note 2 then all the Korean and operator personalization, the rest is all fine, the phone works well, what are the advantages going to be besides the above two issues by flashing it with you procedure?

Thank you for your work
[Galaxy Note II General] tungdlsl:
Tks you. i 've done step by step that you guided. and i love this room. Can You tell me how to root my phone when i flashes this rom, i need titan backup :(?? i use SHV 250L. :D, sry for my english
[Galaxy Note II General] Option58:
Glab you liked it as well. :D

1. Enable developer settings.

2. Go to developer setting and enable root.

3. That's it.

Do not attempt to install Superuser, SuperSU or similar. it is not needed anymore.
[Galaxy Note II General] BarakOsama:
When you are flashing PhilZ recovery add it to PDA field of Odin.

Right After odin shows pass message press the Keys to recovery mode by pressing vol up, power and home.

Wipe data/Factory reset > Clean to Install a new ROM

Install zip > Choose from sd card > Select JuMBO ROM

while you installing the ROM a Installer will pop-up it's just like installing a app to a pc. That's AROMA.

Proceed with it. Very easy.

End of the installation select reboot. ;)

CM 12.1 For SHV-E250K

I wanted to flash Cyanogenmod 12.1 onto my 250K and have seen the steps provided. I wanted to really know how buggy it is and if it is well worth it. I like the aesthetics of the OS and wanted to try it out but not if it is half working. Can someone who has tried this give me details on battery life and such? I'm currently using DN3 v5 ROM and it can be rather slow and buggy sometimes so, I would like to switch but cannot do so unless this is a functional thing. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] Option58:
Stock rom is the one that is half working and non functional. You only think is was until you install cyanogenmod.

Way faster than my friend's LG G3 (on stock 5.0) - I don't know why or how lol. And much much much faster than stock KitKat.

Aestetics are something is really upgraded with Lollipop. Upgraded a ton.

Nothing ever bugs, lags or slows down. No force closes. Never. Stock rom always bugged and sometimes I got FC.

It really feels like stock KitKat was just a junky unfinished pre-release software and this is what phone will ship with. I don't kniw how to describe - feels like Note 2 vs Note 4. It prevents you from buying new phone.

I am literally begging everyone just to try it and see you've been living in a lie that your phone is old and slow because of very very bad software. However, battery is not upgraded at all. Same. And screen mirroring screen to tv isn't working either.

After two months I installed stock rom back. I was shocked how painfully slow it was, how aestetics were AWFUL. And how asked me to install V3 antivirus, dropbox and other stupid bloatware...
[Galaxy Note II General] Giuann:
Hello,

I did download the two files you mentioned, the rom and the recovery, I am trying to load the recovery but it doesn't work, no error message, just Odin stuck with a "setup connection" message (made sure the phone is recognized, am using a virtualized Windows machine to perform this rom flashing), now my doubt is it might be stuck cos I already have a TWRP recovery on the Note II, if that's the problem how do I fix it?

Thank you so much

p.s. I made a backup of the phone (what matters to me are the phonebook, calendar and apps cos it will take to long to download them all again, will I be able to restore once the mobile becomes 7105 and not recognized any longer as 250?
[Galaxy Note II General] :
Thanks for the reply. If battery life is all good then I think I'll just install the CM12.1 nightly. Screen mirroring is not really an issue to me cause I have never needed to use it. I just really want a chance from 4.4 cause my apps tend to load slowly and crash often. Especially Skype. It will stop randomly. If possible could I get screenshots of what its like to run 5.1? Thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] buhonaranja:
I've tried to download the RIL patch for cm 12.1 from here http://www.widzard.kr/RIL/34758 but it says that I haven't got the permission even I logged in with my username. I can't find any mirrors.

I' ve seen a few post earlier a message with the file " cm-12.1-20150404-UNOFFICIAL-wilson3q-i605-Ril-Patch.zip " but it doesn't work for my SHV. 250K...

Is that what I need in order to be able to use LTE, right? now I only can use 2g/3g networks.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note II General] Option58:
If that's your issue then stop thinking and install 5.1 immediately. I trird both, sabermod is similar to official cyanogenmod but little faster and some small bugs fixed. Install that.
[Galaxy Note II General] vadim6385:
Very.

In my case, the wifi didn't work, battery charging was slow (although it started now on stock rom, too), and the rom was a real battery guzzler.
[Galaxy Note II General] :
Ok now I'm getting contradictory replies. Option58 said that it was not that buggy but you're now telling me about its many problems. android L has been known to destroy battery life as I have been told. WiFi would be a big issue for me. I really need WiFi otherwise I can't use my phone for anything. I'll stick with DN3 currently until someone releases a more stable Android L. I might even wait for Android M if anyone decides to port that to the Note 2.

P.S. Did you flash CM12.1? Because Option58 said something about sabermod? I'll have to research this a bit more.
[Galaxy Note II General] Option58:
You're not getting contradictory replies. I have E250S, he has E250K. Looks like there are bugs on E250K. :/

And it's probably matter of personal taste. I've just told you to try because it's easy and you can always revert. No need to ask around, you don't know if you like it unless you try :)

Battery charges super fast on my phone. And about battery life, I had to change CPU governor to interactive or ondemand because on cyanogenmod's pegasusq I got battery drain as well, I've written that on the instructions. Still, DN3 has better battery life. But it is well well well worth it in my opinion because Dn3 is bugged and slow as hell.
[Galaxy Note II General] vadim6385:
Now that is a good rom (works great for several days now, E250K).

Keep up the good work.

[Galaxy Note II General] ThR1LL:
I have a friend who has an SHV-E250S on 4.3 and her WiFi scan doesn't work. It just shows the same 2 SSIDs no matter what. I was thinking of helping her out by updating her FW to 4.4.2, but then I came across scattered posts that some people are converting their Korean N2 to International variants by flashing in Odin the N7105 FW onto their SHV-E250S. Is this possible? I'm looking for solutions that DO NOT require root.

Also I have T-Mobile Note 4 that's rooted and all that. Will the Samsung USB Drivers pack I downloaded for that phone be compatible with this N2 for Odin? And where is a trusted source for the Stock Official Odin FW?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] vadim6385:
A) All the N7105 conversions require root, and will trip the KNOX counter. There's one by WINMACK.COM (search it on youtube), that doesn't require root, but it works worse than the stock rom (for me, it crashed and didn't boot up, after three days of very moderate use). One that works well, from BarackOsama, does require root (which can be disabled after installation).

B) Yes, the drivers that come with KIES will work.

C) Sammobile.com They have stock roms for all Samsung models.

I suggest you move to CM12.1.. no root is required only custom recovery is required

very stable ROM for SHV e250s : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2/development-n7105/rom-unofficial-build-t3067695

use Widzard Kernel: http://www.widzard.kr/Kernel/35209

Steps:

1. Flash stock ROM (if not already done). start phone like a new one and set it up

2. Flash Customer recovery (http://www.widzard.kr/Recovery/19256) you can use TWRP also

3. flash [ROM][5.1.1][CM12.1][SABER][20150610] Unofficial Build - t0lte ***FASTER***

4. flash Widzard Kernel for AOSP

Lolipop will be up and working.. trust me you will not want to move back to touchwiz

all works, all is smooth, GPS works, battery is veyr good (better than touchwiz for sure).

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II General] :
Can you help me flash CM12.1 on to my phone? I'm using the E250K, I bootlooped it stupidly and feel as though this is an opportunity to get a new rom. Im on TWRP and have seen the steps but I want to knew what precautions to take before flashing it such as what do I wipe? Do i do a factory reset? A quick reply would be great, thanks.

Also I am using the latest CM12.1 build which is 20150610 whereas other things such as the RIL patch and GAPPs are 20150404, will this make a difference?
[Galaxy Note II General] Giuann:
I know this will sound repetitive, my 250S works fine, it has 4.3.3 and as far as I am concerned it is all smooth, I use it as a second mobile cos the primary one is an iPhone and I need two battery wise and also to keep things separate, if I could get rid of the Korean personalization and no need to have to re install everything from scratch (including configuring mail, importing phonebook and calendar which I have on iCloud.com) that would be just great keeping in mind that am a total nerd on Android and that my phone is already rooted (great, simply great!), to me getting rid of the operator personalization, keeping a good battery life and no hassle of re install/restore would do a total no brainer to jump in.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note II General] kyyummy:
I haven't seen any way to do that without flashing. Since you are already rooted I recommend backing up your apps/app data/contacts/etc with Titanium Backup. Then you can install a custom ROM with whatever android version you prefer and restore your data from the backup. In addition, you could make a nandroid backup within the custom recovery before you try a different rom so you can restore everything as it was if you run into problems.

Query on SHV-E250K and SHV-E250S

Hi Ashtwinks

I have few queries on this " [ROM][5.1.1][CM12.1][SABER][20150610] Unofficial Build - t0lte"

1). Can I just flash it on my E250K and E250S mobiles? Or some change is required?

I have rooted E250K and E250S devices.. I saw in another loop saying some config file should be changed from t0lte to t0ltek or t0ltes (not sure if this is correct change also).

Can you suggest on this? I have TWRP installed and I hope that wouldnt be of any problem..

2). What is the use of flashing widzard kernel for AOSP? Is it only for overwriting Touchwiz?

And how do I flash it? From recovery mode or through Odin? TIA~~!!

--Santhosh :D

[Galaxy Note II General] Ashtwinks:
With the latest DN2.2 you do not need any patch...

also once you install there is an OTA of DN2.4 available...

only DN2.2 onwards has GPS fixed (but for GPS to work.. you muct first flash stock ROM and then DN2.2

Hi Ashtwinks,

I am currently on DN4v2 (January 2015 ROM). Can I go straight to DN4 v2.2 LTE (23-04-2015) by flashing this ROM from Recovery? Do I need to perform step Wipe-->Format-->format System, data, Internal memory?

Guys need help. I have a SHV-E250S

OK. So I tried your method on my E250S. I did the following steps.

1. Flashed stock 4.4.2

2. Rooted

3. Flashed Philz by Widzard

4. Wipe (First 4)

5. Flashed DN4_v2 ROM Zip

6. Flashed Addon v1.1 Zip

7. Flashed WidZard Kernel v2.6 (I am unable to find v2.3 of Widzard kernel)

Then I rebooted my phone but guess what I got stuck in bootloop.

And after waiting for 15 minutes I flashed back to stock. I did anything wrong?

Can someone guide me the steps. And what version of rom, patch and kernel should I use.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mustafa Jafri:
Hello bro.

I have E250S

So I followed each and every step thoroughly.

But still when rebooted system after the last step. It got stuck into bootloop. Don't know why. I am pretty sure I did each and every thing correctly (because I have been trying to install the DN4 ROM since 6-7 hours.

But one thing different is I flashed the latest firmware that is E250SKSUKOD3

I don't think thats the issue.

So step by step. I flashed stock firmware then I rooted it then reboot then installed twrp 2.7.1.0 then rebooted then went into recovery then factory reset multiple times then wipe system , data , internal memory multiple times. Then flashed DN4_v2 then flashed DN4 v1.1 Addon then flashed Widzard v2.3 SKT English Kernel. Then wipe cache/dalvik. Then reboot.

And I got stuck into bootloop. Its approx 30 minutes and still its in that bootloop (woofer/speaker type logo).
[Galaxy Note II General] Ashtwinks:
Hi Mustafa

Bootloop is due to recovery... TWRP on SHVe250s is not too predictable... I have left it and I use the PHilz recovery modofied by widzard (http://www.widzard.kr/Recovery/19256)

I have not had problems till now and i am on CM12.1 using the same recovery and kernel

also not too sure of the kernel version... Widzard is into 2.6 version now... use that one (http://www.widzard.kr/Kernel/79074)

keep me posted on your progress

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II General] Mustafa Jafri:
Which version of Philz should I use?

I can try one more time. I must tell you I have tried different versions of TWRP. This Philz by Widzard too. Widzard Kernel versions 2.3 2.4 2.6.

Use latest...

Widzard Philz Recovery 6.59.0

WIDzard_Kernel_SHV-E250S_V2.6_TOUCHWIZ or AOSP based on ROM you are wanting (DN4 is TOUCHWIZ)
[Galaxy Note II General] Mustafa Jafri:
I figured the problem. Theres something with the Addon by ykkfive. Whenever I don't flash the addon it boots normally. Tried many times. I flashed v1.1 Addon. Otherwise when I just only flash DN4 Rom and Widzard kernel. It boots normally. But when I flash DN4 Rom then Addon then Widzard Kernel. It doesn't boot. I tried v1.1 Addon.
