Yeah, I agree, I would kill to get a tar.

All I did was dd out the /system and /boot after I rooted. But I am like you, I just feel better when I work from an official base.

As far as Props you guys earned that! Yall moved quick. I bought the phone on my lunch break then had this ***** rooted when I got out of work then when I woke up early I had twrp offciail. It was game on... Granted I only have about 2 hours sleep behid me because someone told me twrp was to be out much sooner, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bignibb:
I did it too

Yeah I did that one too, I must just be a lucky S.O.B. I guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Found why root is locking up!

Trying to fix it now!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoshBeach:
awesome!

thank you... busybox? HMU on talk or IRC SSGNII
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Wooohooo!

I got the root freeze fix figured out!

Uploading new ROMS!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Stock Rooted Version 2 is now up!​

Changes in V2 - 10/27/2012

Fixed: SuperSU lag and random freezing when using Root programs!

Removed: Busybox and init.d support for now!

De-Odex is up and Odex is uploading as well as CleanROM ULE 1.1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Odex up!

TIme for bed!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Raiderman:
Scott. Is there a way you could port this to the note 1, im on the at&t version. Enjoyed your work on the rezound.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Sadly, without the phone, its not something I would be willing to attempt.

Not to mention although the model numbers are similiar, Note 1 vs Note 2, the phones are 100% opposite. The note 2 uses a Samsung Zyenos (SP?) chip while the Note 1 uses a Qualcomm. That would be a tough port to do. But even then, without a phone to do it on...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Raiderman:
I was just curious, im using a note 2 port on my sgs 3. I believe its a sprint port also. Over in the at&t note 1 forums we are frustrated at the lack of touchwiz based jelly bean rams. In fact there are none. I think there might be a dev working on one though. Thanks for the reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proxhack:
Hello,

Does anyone knows how to extract tarball or tar.md5 from this rom.

Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
This is not a tar / md5 file.

Its a flashable CWM zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flak:
These getting updated with the busybox fix? ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Subiegsr:
Will i be able to do the ota update with this Rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Yep, uploading now!

All 1.7 GIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummm... Prolly.... Umm...

Good question! I will say now because OTA may come through but see its not the factory checksum on the files and quit the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Subiegsr:
No worries, i will flash anyways lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
This really isnt the type of ROM you just flash to flash. Its not really a custom ROM in the sense that it doesnt add customization's besides busybox and zip align (which all can be done on a stock rooted ROM)

Its more for those that want to start building themes, mods, and possibly for those that want to post a custom ROM and need a base to start from.

Its also a good "fallback" ROM to keep on you SD card just incase stuff goes south with your "other" custom ROMS (if you know what I mean ;))

If you are only looking for more than root then this ROM will not do much for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Still uploading version 3.... Will be up later this morning!

I appreciate all the patience!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
V3 up! ​

Changes in V3 - 10/287/2012

Fixed: Busybox and init.d support. Thanks -viperboy-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proxhack:
I got it!!!

Thank you for your help!

It took almost two days but we did it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
So this is newer than the PM you sent me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proxhack:
yes it it...I am flashing your rom now!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Sweeeet! Glad I could help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigJPNut:
Thanks for this! I got this as my fallback rom. I have zipalign and busybox. How can I add init.d to my stock odex rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Its already included...

Per Op:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigJPNut:
Thank you...but im talking about the stock rom already on the phone. I got this as a fallback rom, but was interested in learning how to just add init.d support to the stock rom? Thanks again for your time on this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Ohhhh. Im sorry. I mis understood you...

You would need to add busybox and run parts command in the init.rcof the boot.img.

service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
disabled
oneshot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigJPNut:
thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Of course, dont forget to install busybox to /system/bin/, lol:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Its funny (but not really),

Every single ROM that is in this forum is based on this ROM. My sharing policy states a link back to this thread or my site www.scottsroms.com is required if you want to use my work.

Thats not asking a lot at all...

Not a single dev did this!!!

Not a single Dev thanked my OP either.

Although one Dev did donate for using my base!

Wow...

Im sad!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
I didn't start working on mine yet, but you saved me some time so I'm going to use your base. I did thank you though :) but don't sound so surprised, it's XDA dude lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
That is sad. . Specially since I am sure they are getting donations. .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Yeah, I know man. Im not worried about YOU thanking my post, lol... I know you would thank my post if you used my work. Just like I gave you your respect figuring out Busybox.

I hope they do get donations. I hope we all do! But... Come on, Its easier to hit Thanks than download. :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
Nice work, you saved my life from a soft brick too. I have 2 noob questions thou':

1. It changed my device model from sph-l900 to sph-l900.09 What's that about?

2. If i somehow manage to flash the official stock rom again, would i receive the ota updates again?

Sorry if my questions are kinda stupid. Thanks in advance and really nice work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proxhack:
thank you for the base Scott!

It's not hard to say thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
1. Not sure baout that. Mine was always 900.09 hardware revision.

2. If you find the official stock ROM please please let us know. AFAIK it doesnt exist. I made this from doing a system dump.

Nope, and your welcome!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
Ok, thanks for the quick reply. I don't know much about how the ROM works when it's installed and such, but maybe the change in hardware model came in hand with the new rom,as if, the rom is reading the device as if it was your own device? Could there be a possibility that it just doesn't mean anything?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Highly unlikely. Stop by a Sprint store and see what theres say.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
Hey boss, you have a modified ad-blocking hosts file still in /system/etc. Just thought you should know :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thebodymekanik:
Did I brick my phone?

Having the Sprint version and coming from rooted stock with CWM, I flashed wanamlite rom without CAREFULLY reading all the details and only got to the Samsung logo bootloop. I tried the removal of battery and wipings and still only got to the logo. I reflashed again thinking that may help and bootloops again.I restored my backup and now I have Network is UNKNOWN. Baseband: UNKNOWN Mobile network type: UNKNOWN Service State: UNKNOWN My phone number: UNKNOWN PRL, MIN, MEID, IMEI, ICCID: UNKNOWN Device status: MODIFIED I did not do the efs backup. I am able to use the rest of the phone and wifi works and Im able to browse. No calls or texts at all. Im coming from the hero and have been a flashaholic and never experienced something like this. I have been reading and searching ALOT about this phone and am wanting to know if I flash this rom will it help out my situation. It was suggested that I flash this rom and would need a modem zip file for my phone. Having insurance,at least I would like to unroot so I could then bring it back to sprint for repairs . Thanks everyone for your help. I feel helpless without my phone :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Good catch! I forgot that I ran Ad-Free. I will post an empty one...

EDIT: Posted a non ad-blocking host file in OP!

Are you the same person that posted here: http://www.scottsroms.com/showthread.php/1882-Lost-Baseband-on-Galaxy-Note-II ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thebodymekanik:
No I am not the same person.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Unless someone comes up with an Odin Tar then you may be out of luck.

Sounds like the other guy, wiped the Radio because you flashed a ROM not for the device and included a radio.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proxhack:
Do you have a Sprint note 2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thebodymekanik:
Yes I have the sprint note2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] proxhack:
l sent you a PM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
He flashed an International ROM that had a Radio in it :(

Time to move the discussion to another thread in general.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Thank you for the base Scott! It will take me awhile as this is my first ROM and I have really only done some theming up until now, but when I do I will make sure to hook you up in the OP!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
You doing a ROM? Cool!

Let me know if you need help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
I think I will take you up on that offer soon :thumbup:

After I get more theming done I will hit you up, I appreciate it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
Everytime i restart my phone it gives me the handsfree activation, like when you first turn on the phone and it has to validate the network
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
I'm running the deodexed with no issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Does it give the activation message or does it just say "Preparing network?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
I'm running odexed and it briefly says on the status bar preparing network but then i get a black screen that says hands free activation, we will now activate your device. Contacting the network and please wait. hing is, it always gives me an error and then takes a lot to start receiving 3g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Wow, that is wierd. Never heard of that.

Can you check the MD5 sum of the file? Also, stupid question, but the phone is activated, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
Yes it is. Newbie question, how do i check the MD5 sum of the file (also, which file?)

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

Ok, i know how to check the MD5 sum, however, which file do i have to check?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Newbie answer: Article: [How To] - Verify MD5 Sums (Any File) :good:

You want to check the whole rom. So basically follow the instructions in my article.

EDIT: Also, if you use a program like ES File Explorer you can do it on the phone. Just tap and hold in the ROM file in ES File Explorer and then options will pop up and one is called check sums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
The md5 sum is the same as the one posted in your rom download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
I dont know man, Are you in a poor receptioon area?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
Could be the reason. They are installing the new NV sites in my area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Oh, I am sure thats it... Try odin back to stock and see if it does the same. But I have a strong feeling it will.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
i would buti don't have the stock rom, my phone got bricked before i was able to do a backup. Thankfully i found your rom. You have been of great help, so thanks for understanding my newbiness (pretty sure thats not a word) and having patience, very appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
YOu stand corrected "newbiness" is an official term of XDA, lol :angel:

BUt the posted a stock Odin tar in this forum. If you are good with odin you can restore to 100% factory.

But in all honesty, I dont think that is the problem. I think the signal just blows. I would also try it in differnt locations at differnt times to confirm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iWantMyAndroid:
Lol, the make me the mascot of newbiness. Thanks for the info about the tar file, might be just what i needed. One last question thou', i've asked this several times and assuming you are a pro at android software: If i flash the stock tar files, will i get the OTA updates? It's just that i got my eyes on the rumored 4.2 upgrade for the Note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dallastx:
I flashed this ROM 2 weeks back. How do i get stop updates from popping up asking me to update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
Why don't you update? You get multiview. Check the dev section for the thread.

If you insist on not updating, delete /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip with root explorer or similar and then reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dallastx:
I flashed multiview along time ago. Along with your all apps and don't want to lose root!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
You flashed multiview over lj1 build?? Well, at least it works but I wouldn't have done that. And backup your apps with titanium backup, flash the stock rooted deodexed build and restore your apps.

Not to be a ****, but if you're worried about loosing root doing that, then you need to read up on some things because you don't loose root doing that. And even if you did, you use Odin and flash twrp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dallastx:
Yep works perfect... Losing root wasnt really a concern i am just feeling lazy tonight. Do not feel like taking 5 min to root again lol. If it was a update i didn't already have then i would of course not hesitate. But having everything working along with your all app multiview i didnt see a need for it.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Oh and yes flashed your multiview over LJ1 no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgolden84:
Would love to see some love for the Verizon note 2 we r unlocked now. Loved your work on the sgs3

How to port roms to your Device

Sick of seeing roms for other devices ? wanna experience them in your device ?

Well here's a guide to teach you just that .

KEEP THESE POINTS IN MIND

This guide wont make you a full fledged dev.
It teaches you the basics of porting ROMS.
If anything happens to your device I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for IT ! try it on your own risk !

So to begin before starting right away have a check list of these items -

The rom which you want to port for your device is named here as [B]BASE[/B]
The rom which is already working for your device is called here as [B]PORT[/B]
Your final ROM is in PORT

STEP 1

Grab a rom

Make sure to grab a rom of same resolution. for ex- 320x480.

And prefer to use the roms with same android version. for ex - android 4.0.4=android 4.0.4

also prefer to use roms from same manufacturer for ex - use htc desire S for htc desire HD

use either aosp or cm 7,9 or 10 working for your device as port

Download and install notepad++ and a archiver. ( I use winrar)

STEP 2

First open both the roms side by side in the zip form

perform these actions in PORT.zip

Go to system> then delete the app,media,fonts & framework folders.

now drag and drop the app,media,fonts & framework folders from base.zip to ported.zip

STEP 3

Now go to the etc folder in base.zip and the port.zip now see if the base.zip has any extra files other than those in the port.zip

if you find any put them in your etc folder of port.zip

STEP 4

Now open buid.prop file using Notepad++ and make changes to these of Port.zip

ro.build.id=

ro.build.display.id=

ro.build.date=

ro.modversion=

In build.prop file change these to same as Port Rom build.prop values. you can find these in additional build properties

ro.config.ringtone=

ro.config.notification_sound=

ro.config.alarm_alert=

If you want to port for htc devices try this if you face issues :

to fix network auto select,

decompile framework-res.apk

go to \framework-res\res\values\bools.xml change

<bool name="skip_restoring_network_selection">true</bool>

to false.

to fix graphichal issues,

decompile framework.jar

change these files with cm9 base

smali\smali\android\os

Environment

SystemProperties

smali\smali\android\view

HardwareCanvas

HardwareRenderer$Gl20Renderer

HardwareRenderer$GlRenderer

HardwareRenderer

Happy porting ! ;) :good:

Resolution?

I don't think resolution matters that much.. I ported from Nexus S without any issues..
[Android Software Development] A_U:
resolution is secondary. if its hdpi to ldpi/mdpi port, u need to hell lot of resize.

the main importance is the phones architecture.

long story short =

ARM-V"X" = ARM-V"X" = if yes, port

ARM-V"X" =/ ARM-V"Y" = no.

I'm running MIUI V4, android 4.0.4 on an HTC Glacier.

I want to give this a shot....my first time. Which device is compatible with mine? Would it be possible to port a Jelly Bean Miui rom from one of those "compatible devices" to mine?

No I didn't do much searching. I figured that in order for me to do this the right way, I would ask the wise ones. :)

Thank you for all your work and help.
[Android Software Development] ic3141:
Now open buid.prop file using Notepad++ and make changes to these of Port.zip

ro.build.id=

ro.build.display.id=

ro.build.date=

ro.modversion=

In build.prop file change these to same as Port Rom build.prop values. you can find these in additional build properties

SInce i haven't changed the build.prop on port, the above values are for the port. aren't they? Or i change in base then copy whole build.prop from base to port? A bit confusing
[Android Software Development] <JohnCarter>:
erm yes

just change the values in your port.zip

I was looking to port a rom to my Captivate Glide! would you have any suggestions as to which devices could be used to port from?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] djmatt604:
There are lots of questions about what devices/roms people can port from going on in here...now I'm not a mod or anything and I am watching this thread because I think it would be a cool project to port a rom for my phone over to a friend's...but perhaps it would be helpful for the OP to include some tips on how we can check compatibility ourselves right in the first post? Is that possible?

I saw this:

"long story short =

ARM-V"X" = ARM-V"X" = if yes, port

ARM-V"X" =/ ARM-V"Y" = no."

...which is a good piece of info. What other things can people be looking for so we don't keep asking the same question? Obviously you shouldn't be trying to port an HTC rom for a Samsung device unless you really know what you're doing, but I mean other perhaps-not-so-obvious stuff. Thanks OP for your consideration and great guide!
