Yep, works, although I had to manual download and choose "others" in order top flash the IMG.

Why the fsck do those apps ship with an outdated list?!
[Nexus S Android Development] C4SCA:
dunno... maybe they just paste the download link in the xml file of the app and isnt actually a file that can update it self so u have to recompile the app with the new xml with the new links i suppose, wich is boring haha

Thanks for the help.

fastboot flash boot and the file name

Running v2.6.3.0 and JB

Root tools seems to do nothing. It just won't flash 2.6.3.1. Is this a JB thing or hasn't the OP tested their own instructions?

if u have twrp 2.6.3.1 flashed why do u want to reflash 2.6.3.1???

Final answer, use fastboot, its the best and flawless way
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Fixed version number and I will use fast boot this time.
[Nexus S Android Development] iakoboss7:
you can just use an older twrp (like 2.5.0.0) from here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-s/development/compilation-flashable-zips-recoveries-t2032337

[Nexus S Android Development] evotech:
Forgive me if the answer is obvious (I searched and didn't find it), but does this recovery support F2FS partitioning?

As I understand it, F2FS support is available for TWRP, but not all devices have it built yet.

Gnex doesn't have it built into the official TWRP build, yet, but someone made an unofficial version with F2FS support.

F2FS made my sluggish Gnex fly again; would love to be able to do this on my friend's Nexus S as well.
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
You need to rename the new twrp to " recovery " for it to work..
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
I haven't tried it out yet. When I had made this previously for v2.7.0.0 I had changed the name to whatever it was in the recovery script.

I'll post it here when I get it ready by tonight.

Edit: Flashable zip link attached. MTP does not work. I can see the phone in 'My Computer'. All I get is an empty screen after opening it. Any thoughts?

After updating to 4.1.2. My Phone FW is GKFJ03. Camera remained GKFI03. Can't update because the button is grayed out. That is beacuse I do not have the firmware file in the root of the phone's memory. Where could I get that firmware file from?
[Galaxy Note II General] Dpk1:
Is that a guess or you have a source? And i wonder if its actually true or just a speculation that different Note2s have different "make" sensors! Btw, my Note2 camera works great (be it a sony one or not)!

yes i'm pretty sure look @s3 forums u will find the sensor that start with G is sony one and the one that start with Z is made by Sammy :D

Rear camera: GKFI03

Front camera: S5K6A3
[Galaxy Note II General] natarau:
Front camera is not really important, and I don't think you can update it. Are both you CAM and PHONE versions the same for your rear camera?

I think it's very important for us to have the latest firmware for our sensor, the correct version! Never flash version for a different sensor. That was how I lost the flash capability while filming on my S2. I remember on my S3, filming in low light, FPS were dropping like crazy. I had an updated version in the Phone firmware, but the button was grayed out. Someone gave me a link with the file, I copied it in the phone's root, then I was able to update. Huge improvement in FPS at low light, possibly in other aspects too.

Yeah, i looked up the S3 forums and it seems that different sensors might be used.

[Galaxy Note II General] natarau:
Ok, from what I've read the firmware file has to be somewhere in the camera's apk of the new updated ROM. I''m currently searching, but can't find it. :cyclops:

Once I get my hand on the GKFJ03 file, I'l upload it here.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:

[Galaxy Note II General] natarau:
Thanks, but can't seem to find it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Dpk1:
Yes, i do have files in system/vendor/firmware, but i'm not sure if these are updated cam fw files. I can upload a zip if it helps anybody. Currently i'm on stock JB 4.1.2 (Build no: JZO54K.N7100XXDLL4, Baseband: N7100DDDLK6) updated via OTA update. My cam fw version after the update reads ZKFI07 & ZKJ03 for rear cam & phone fw ver. respectively. I am yet to see any post confirming the same cam & phone fw versions after the 4.1.2 update.

Hey guys, don't worry, if the Phone cam fw is newer, the device will simply use that one. You can check it out for yourselves. I will post what anman.x wrote me in a pm, hope he doesn't mind.

"i think u don't need the camera fw because phone uses one from kernel. There are 2 places where cam fw stored - in kernel and somewhere in hidden memory (i think). The phone should use the newest one.

try to check this: compare phone fw ver, cam fw ver and jpeg exif from any photo (better to shoot yet another photo).

note: some of image browsers don't read full exif. My favorite faststone image viewer don't want. I suggest nirsoft ExifDataView (yep, this guy has many cool little progs), search for UniqueImageID http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2...0117220100.png"

Hi, what are the files you have in the 'system/etc/firmware' folder? I believe the camera file are normally named 'RS_M5LS_xx.bin' The xx specifies the version.

Hi, can you pls upload the files you have in the 'system/etc/firmware' folder. I believe this is the phone firmware file that will be used to flash the camera firmware if you select 'phone to Cam FW write'. My phone seems to be missing this file and my camera is also missing firmware. Need to try to re-flash. You can check the version of the RS-M5LS_xx.bin file in that folder using notepad to open and it would most probably match your phone firmware version. You might have a few files with different versions too.

Thanks.

Note 2 Camera Firmware troubles

Hi all!

For everyone who may need those info's, here's my Camera codes:

Italian product

Phone FW:	N7100XXDME6 (4.1.2)

Info by the *#34971539# code:

- Phone/CAM FW Ver Check:

Rear Camera

Cam FW Ver : ZKFI07

Phone FW Ver: ZKFJ03

Front Camera:

Cam&Phone FW Ver: S5K6A3

Due to the differences between the two codes (ZKFI07 and ZKFJ03) I'm having a lot of troubles with the Camera app; it crashes and freezes when I open it, nothing works in it and I have to come out with the physical central key.

Maybe that a FW update lost the Camera fw update?

At now I'm waiting for the Samsung Customer Service to send them my phone... :crying:

That's why I ask to everyone who can help, what can be done to solve this issue.

Thanx!

Hello ,

I have a Notes 2 ( N7100 ) and with stock rom I had the problem of the camera ( impossible to access the camera). I run a restore to the original but same problem. With and without sd sd . With original ROM and then also with cyanogenmod rom . With the cyanogen rom installed , I took advantage saying , oh well since I have another 2 notes (I use it for work ) change the room, so if it is a hardware problem I see now. Changed and it works ... Too bad that even the phone features of work that ought to have, after the replacement , the room damaged. Obvious that after 1 day of use the phone that originally did not work back does not work, although I had the room "new and working ." But I doubt that it is the motherboard / logic board , because if you attack or go or not go . I tried to enter the code in the dialer but does not open anything ... Where / how can I try to upgrade the firmware of the room? I would not send him to inutilimente guarantee because I have already done for the same problem and I have replaced the room at all. ciaooo
