Update 4.1.2

I rooted my Samsung Note 2 a few weeks ago when I bought it. It came with 4.1.1 on it. Now there is an update 4.1.2. What should I do? If I just tell it to update will it mess up the root. Is there a procedure for doing the updates on a rooted phone? I would like to do the update to have access to the new features Samsung has added. Also is there any way to get rid of the never ending update reminder that keeps showing up? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cpg1111:
Well, it may be different for me, because I have a custom rom, so I can't update over the air, but if you have the stock touchwiz rom, I don't see why it wont update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpboob:
I never changed the Rom that came with the phone. I really just wanted the root in order to wifi tether and a few other things. So when the message comes up on my phone that there is an update just go ahead and let it do it and the phone will still be rooted. Sorry If I sound clueless, it's because i am.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevr6:
I have VooDoo OTA Root keeper installed. Does anyone know if this works? I planned on trying it then manually re-rooting if need be.

Thanks

Help with rooting 4.1.2

Hello Friend,

I am very grateful for all your videos and they are easy to use .

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy note 2 using your videos and I am happy with it but now

4.1.2 is out .Sprint sends me the update and I tried to update after the reboot ,it comes back into

custom recovery and I HAVE no idea what to do after that.

I already back up the phone so what are your suggestions .

Is there way to install 4.1.2 and still be rooted or should I follow the video with stock

recovery and if I do that will I loose my contacts .

I am ready to use those new features on the new ,there many more options .

Anyway thanks for your hard work and dedication .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
Don't worry about losing your contacts as they are/should be backed up to Google. Using your PC browser, check GMail and from there look at your contacts. As long as they are there, and they will be, once you sync your phone, they will all be back.

Did you root with option 2 or 3? Sounds like 3...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
I hope someone can help with this. I bought the phone yesterday and today (after reading this thread) updated the OTA. Then tried the method in the video to root with custom recovery. Well, the custom recovery flashed, but I still did no have root access and Superuser was not installed on phone. I tried to then unroot (following the video) and odin failed and now my phone is stuck on screen saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I downloaded Kies and I can't get into emergency recovery mode without a code. Apparently if the update was not done in Kies, you cannot enter recovery.... can anyone help with this???

I am sure I did sonething wrong and am not blaming the devs. In fact I donated money to the developer if the toolkit. Threw me iff at first because it was not in US $..lol.

Can someone answer a question please. Is there a way to root 4.1.2? I can't find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Multiple Window Mod

First of all QBking your videos are perfect. I rooted my phone and also got the hotspot working. Here is my dilemma though. I want to take advantage of the multiwindow mod. I followed your directions but I am thinking I have a different build because when I download the LJC deodes rom as per your instructions it goes into a loop. Here are my specs for my device:

Model Number: SPH-L900

Android Version: 4.1.2

Baseband version: L900VPAMA7

Kernel version: 3.0.31-265523

SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 3 15:59:26 KST 2012

Build number

JZO54K.L900VPAMA7

Hardware version

L9000.09

My question is what rom do I need to flash so I can get the multiwindow mod to work? Do I need deodexed and am I currently at odexed? I am not sure.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TirithXiato:
Find the ma7 stock deodex rom. Clear system. Flash.

Clear cache and dalvik because you can. Reboot system.

Because you're on ma7 now, ljc roms don't play too very well with it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] troyicus:
First of all thank you for replying. Much appreciated. Second, you mention "clear system". What does that mean? Do I go into the custom recovery aka Teamwin and do a factory reset and then flash rom? Or are you talking about something else? And third can you tell me which file I should use since you said go with the ma7 stock deodex rom. I want to make sure I have the right one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TirithXiato:
Most of the time, the devs say factory reset, but I personally haven't had any problem going into twrp and going to wipe - clear system, and then going to install, and flash the zip file to install a new rom. It keeps your data on there, so you don't lose everything...

Not promising you won't have to clear data, but I've always just cleared system out and cleared the caches

Btw, the link to the android file host will be flashable straight from twrp. The tar files have to be flashed through Odin, I prefer using twrp because it's simple.

Suck in an activation loop

Hey guys. I made an error this morning. I was doing some tweaking and hit the factory reset on CWM. Now I'm stuck

on an endless boot loop that trys to active the phone. It goes to the home screen where all of my stuff is still there. Nothing has reset.

and it trys to active the phone. Says it actives then wants to reboot to do a factory reset.

I was rooted with a stock rom. Nothing fancy. The phone won't stay active long

enough for me to do anything. What should I do? Is there something in the ToolKit that I can run?

Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TirithXiato:
Best option... download a stock rom, depending what version you were on. Factory reset within cwm and flash rom.

Perhaps in the toolkit, you can go into the root/unroot options, restore to factory defaults or the option similar, and reroot it...

Switching Rom base

So can I go from Jelly Bomb to a MA7 by just flashing the appropriate Rom. I read on one of them you had to be in that base but said nothing about how to change from one base to another. Is there a problem just flashing from one to the other. I went to JellyBomb right after rooting but want to try something else? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] padlock:
ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! I've tried a couple of times now and keep running into the same problem. I follow all the steps in the video, granted I chose option 92 boot-insecure-ama7-recovery-SPHL900 as my phone is 4.1.2, everything goes according to the instructions, until the busybox portion. Busybox install goes through and gets to the testing portion, Sending the command 'which busybox' it loads all the way to here:

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-04-13 17:05 zcat -> /system/xbin/busybox

An Error Occured

Any ideas? I've used two different cables and two different computers, it happens choosing both option 3 and option 2.

Edit: I tired installing busybox as a standalone from the menu and it allowed it. I downloaded titanium backup and it shows my phone as rooted. So if you run into the same problem using 4.1.2 then try installing each item individually or when you get the error just go to the main menu and choose option 13. Install Busybox on Device.

I installed JellyBomb today on my samsung note 2 for sprint. It started to load and I saw the blue, and then it powered down. I can't go into recovery mode or anything, but when I take my battery out and reenter it it loads and power off again. My computer doesn't even recognize the phone is hooked up to it.

Hello new user here

I downloaded the toolkit for the sprint note 2 and even went to the web page it directed me to donate so I could get the pro version, well I donated and haven't received my 10 digit number that the tool kit asked for to obtain the update, so I contacted the company who PayPal sent the funds to and they tell me to go to goo. im which I did but there is no way to contact them to obtain the number. Any help would be great

My build number is not listed on the tool kit

LAB RATS 2.2 Multi Window Help

Hello,

First off, sorry for the miss post. I for some reason cant post on a specific forums because I do not have enough posts. So Stupid!

So I downloaded the Lab Rats 2.2 Rom for my sprint galaxy note 2 phone, and everything works awesome. Totally recommend this Rom for everyone!! Extremely customizable.

But I have been having an issue getting the full functionality of the All Apps Mutil Window support for this ROM.

The multi window does in fact work for all the apps, but not all of my apps are able to be listed in the side bar.

This would be huge for my business. At the moment, I am limited to only a handfull of apps in the multi window side bar.

If anyone who knows how to fix this issue for this rom, I would greatly appreciate any help or input.

Thanks in advance!

when rooting phone it can access root directory of phone required by some application made by developers. when unrooted u cant access to root directory. so if app depends on rooted phone will not work if unrooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] onyxstar:
Not try to root the phone, trying to unflash it? No really sure if that means the same thing. I was using ODIN to unroot the phone and go to factory, but now it i won't do anything. I am totally confused by your answer. I am happy you answered, but maybe I am too much of a N00B and don't get it.

Very hard to beat this charger. I have a few of them to take on trips and such, in case I forget it. Fast charging... at least double to triple what I saw trying to charge off a USB port (car or PC).

Plus you can't beat the price! Just make sure it's genuine (the one on amazon is).
