Should fix the Chameleon issues without the Odin problems from the previous attempt.

Flash in PDA slot through Odin.

BTW, Rudy or anyone else. Which image file is the kernel?

On the E4GT it and recovery were in zImage, not sure now since recovery seems separated now.

Want to take the LJC stock component and make a separate Odin .tar if possible

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerald410:
I'll give a shot, will report back thx.

Still getting error even after reboot.

will stay on ljc for a bit just in case you have something else to test.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Well, if it flashed that's a good sign. Heard about the error in recovery.

Is there any text on the screen when it updates? Really need to see what it says.

I think I might know what it is but need to verify.

(There's a second execution that I didn't see in cache - might be in hidden so checking there too.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerald410:
It looks like it's updating via stock recovery, will do again to see what it says.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
It's supposed to do that. Cache.img flashes a folder that triggers a recovery script. The script says to flash a .ZIP in there and then execute one more command, which I can't find. The last step was a data wipe but I've removed that in this test.

I'll put together the LJC Rooted Nodata one click now and upload soon. Let's see if it happens when included with the rest of the package. If so then I probably just need to remove the second command and that should work for applying CSC information as a separate package.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerald410:
What is causing the chameleon error?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Since Chameleon is specific to the CSC data (Sprint's wording for it according to what I've heard) my guess is that something in the CSC data wasn't set properly during the flash or update. Knew this happened with the LK8 update and I've got a fix for that already.. LKC full restore one clicks won't face this as it's been tested. Now trying to make sure it will work without wiping data, which I'm making test builds for now. Last step would be a odin flashable solution to restore CSC data if it got lost or mistakenly updated to a different CSC (like the LK8 update.zip), that's what I'm trying to do with cache.img in my posts here.

Stock Nodata tar is made, working on rooted one now. Goal is to have them uploaded before evening and let people have at them all. Just glad I got the MD5 checksum issue resolved with the one click packages.

Flashed lk8 allinone zip and nothing changed. Do I have to be on a stock rom? Or do I have to be completely stock for it to apply?

[Edit] it finally flashed and applied
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigRitz:
Just got this bad boy yesterday and it was saying that the firmware update didnt complete error 4 , didnt really worry bout it before since I planned on rooting anyways and figured I could just flash new firmware, well did both of those and it still has that dam green check mark and says firmware can not be completed someone anyone please help lol how do I get rid of that , its messing with my ocd bad.

OP thanks for all the work

Ok well I just held on the firmware not complete in the drop down and it gave app info option I went into that and stoped system update and cleared data , that seems to have worked , still curious if it pops up again what should I do?

Again thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
Ok, just read entire thread again. I got my phone 2 weeks ago. I did the update. About 4 days ago I flashed the all in one lk8. Im not having any issues other then chameleon & activate. I need to know if I should flash the "full modem" & the "sboot & tz".

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamesey:
Why is this update only 1.5mb and sextape update.zip is 119mb

Where can I get a rooted LK8 that doesn't wipe internal storage data?

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudyblah:
Becuase this is just the firmware. No kernel or rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
OK, please stop using this one. It's not working as I had hoped.

I'll be running a few more tests.

For now to avoid the issue please take the following steps:

1) Back up all data, including USB internal memory that you need.

2) Flash LJC Stock Restore one click.

3) Flash sextape's LJ8 update.zip

For those having problems getting into download mode after that, can you try:

1) Turn on USB debugging

2) Install ADB (if not already)

3) Run "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" and see if it gets you there.

If so you should be able to flash TWRP and subusybox.zip to root LK8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilgenyus:
I am going to try this one more time every time i flash the lk8 update i cant connect to any wifi open or secure.

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

I one clicked back to ljc and then immediately ran sextapes update.zip and i still cant get wifi to work. I dont know what im doing wrong im pretty familiar with flashing roms so im following everything you guys are saying except for the parts pertaining to root and custom recovery because i dont want root i want to be as close to stock as possible. Everytime i flash the update.zip i loose wifi I can see the networks but cant connect...it times out and then says network disable poor connection and i have excellent signal strength.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsinned28:
Ok so this is probably in the wrong spot I have searched till im going fkn crazy so I have

In order to do the update you had to be unrooted of course that is depending

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tegezee:
Everything is running great for me, I keep 4 bars pretty much all the time. I do get the hands free activation upon every boot but I flashed my note 2 to boost & I don't reboot all the time so that's fine. Overall everything is going great, thanks man.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilgenyus:
I tried it with both versions of the update that sextape posted. I was completely stock/unrooted. I tried copying the file over via the computer also by downloading it straight to the phone with the same results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pathtologos:
Wow, I'm reading some of these posts and I'm a bit confused. I bought the device today and I'm on the earliest firmware / modem. I rooted using the toolkit and I have twrp recovery installed. My question is, can I jump straight to LK8? In effect skipping the "middle" one? Secondly, I'm seeing four different "versions" or downloads for each firmware update. Which one should I be using?

I hope I'm not reposting a question already answered. Don't mean to piss anybody off.

Thanks guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudyblah:
just grab the lk8 modem zip and the lk8 sboot and tz zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pathtologos:
Thanks for the quick response (and your patience with me) man. So can I flash both in one twrp session?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smark72:
Yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twospirits:
Much like pathologos, I'm rooted, and have twrp installed. My settings indicate the following...

Baseband: L900VPALJC

Kernal 3.031-434243 se.infra@SEP-94 #1 SMP PREEMT Wed Oct 31 15:57:07 KST 2012

Build Number: JRO03C.L900VPALJC

My Note 2 is also using the App2SD Mod script which basically swaps my internal storage with my 64GB sd card storage.

Therefore this leads to a few questions..

1-With twrp, I already did a back up of system, data, boot and recovery to the internal storage (which in this case is the sdcard being used as internal do to the script)

Do I need to also do cache. (I don't think so, since I've never did before, but I'm asking just in case)

2-Next, I plan to run the All in one and then the kernal, but it seems from the quotes above it looks like I can just do the modem.zip and the sboot/tz zip.

3-With either method you guys suggest I go with, would I mess things up since the app2sd script is swapping the storage.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
so instead of flashing the ALL IN ONE, its recommended to upgrade from MODEM zip and SZ zip?

is the all in one version borked?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudyblah:
you should be fine with the backups u have. Do the all in one and the kernel. As for app2sd all I can say is it should work

no. They are coming from LJ1, which that method is quicker

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jameslee2:
I am currently using jelly bomb and i want to update to this firmware and i have twrp installed. So first I download the full nmoden and shoot and tz and then h2o and then do a wipe and install full modem and shoot and tz and h20 by pressing the volume up button power and the home button and going to flash section which is the first button on the top row?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Trying to investigate something here...

Boot.img is the kernel, right?

And does it share any relationship with the bootloader or is that the sboot/tz combo?

Here's the reason:

Flashed my test LJC to LK8 update.zip yesterday. Worked fine but couldn't flash TWRP.

Went to Samsung Toolbox, flashed the unsecure bootloader and TWRP problem solved.

But looks like it changed the kernel as well.

I'm going to remove boot.img update from the .ZIP and see if it resolves.

I also tested an LK8 Rooted Nodata using LJC boot.img and TWRP flashes no problem.

tz/sboot are extracted from LK8 .zip.

Kernel date in this test shows 10/31.. Not sure how that can be LJC if LJC is 10/13.

Anyone else that might have some insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudyblah:
Correct, boot.img is the kernel. The (secondary) bootloader is sboot.bin and the arm trust zone info is tz.img. As for the kernel date, is that what is shows in the about phone menu?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Yeah, it is. After more digging I found that

is

the LJC kernel.

So now I'm even more stumped - why did changing a kernel allow TWRP to flash? And why didn't it before?

Made 2 test root packages with all files but the LK8 modem because it can't be flashed by odin. (Too big)

One with LJC kernel, one with LK8. Both allowed to flash TWRP afterwards.

So while it looks like we will have LK8 one clicks soon I'm still stumped as to why it happened.

I removed a root check to make the LJC->LK8 update.zip flash in TWRP but don't see how that would do it either.

At the moment I'm trying to find volunteers to test all 3 - the two packages and a modified update.zip.

I'll leave the boot.img patch in the update and instead add root - see if that does anything different.

Worst comes to worst I'll drop back to LJC after backing up, restore my LJC backup and test flash the update again.

I did hear whispers that the bootloader

is

indeed locked on LK8 but now sounds like this isn't a factor.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudyblah:
The reason for not being able to flash twrp is because doesnt have an insecure adbh. The mod3m being too big problem is due to dd copying the entire partition including the free space, I might try mounting the dump on my computer and using a better utility to crewte an image without the freespace when I get home. Kinda scary thought about the bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Callie_evo:
so do i just download the file then send to sd card and flash through twrp? sorry still not up to par on flashing. used to do it once in a while on my evo but nothing on the sammy. TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudyblah:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twoeleven99:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakota123456789:
brain capacity= overflowed

Can someone explain this to me.

Okay I am on LJC with Whomposaurus 1.7.

If I went from say Whomp (LJC) to H20 (LK8), just to try H20, then went back to Whomp. What exactly would happen? Or would anything happen at all?

I really don't understand what I can and can't do with LJC or LK8. If I can stay on LJC. If I can go to LK8 and stay on Whomp.

I really just don't understand what I can and can't do, should or shouldn't do with LK8.

Can someone please explain?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbrann85:
Only advice I can give you is that if you go to lk8 and then back to ljc you will have to download the chameleon.apk from ljc as there is something left in the partitions from lk8 that will cause chameleon to fc and network activation to occur every time you reboot. In terms of trying H20 on lk8 if you'd like... can't guarantee it won't mess things up or if it will do worse than that but check the H20 op and thread to see if running ljc with it is mentioned in there. Haven't used H20 yet as I've been trying out paranoid. Not using the spen a lot so I figured I could live without it and this thing is so fast now.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] radrian92:
You can flash the ma5 modem with either lk8 or ljc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
So far modems have been compatible across all builds.

LK8 ROM had some issues if you went back to LJC but those have been pretty well resolved. It remains to be seen if MA5 behaves the same way (although from initial testing it looks like we're good).

This is our first smartphone, and we bought 3 of them. I was using Windows XP, and now Windows 7. I have tried with Mass Storage ON and OFF. When I plug any of these phones into the computer via USB, most times I have extreme difficulty interacting with the screen and choosing Connect to USB so that I can transfer files. It seems to run through old touches, and opens and closes applications, and basically acts 'possessed'. I must be doing something wrong as this is the case with all 3 phones. Also, is there another suite other than the LG Suite IV that could be used?

I see a bunch of other apps the only one that i can even get close enough to edit with is text editor.

How to edit gservices.db to make gtalk available over data

when you select "gservices.db" in ashell you should get a warning asking if you want to get a copy of the file, answer yes

asqlitemanager should now be available as one of the options to open the db

once it opens the gservices.db select "main"

in table "main" select "Data"

hit "PgDn" until you find the following line "gtalk_vc_wifi_only" and hit edit on the left hand-side

change value "true" to "false" and hit "oK"

hit back button a couple of times and you should get a prompt asking you if yo want to "commit changes" answer yes

before you try to initiate a gtalk over data make sure you kill/restart the gtalk app (you may wanna clear cache and data, doesn't hurt}

Done !
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Strange that is exactly what I been trying to do, however when I click on the services.db and choose yes to make a copy I then do not get SQLiteManage as one of the apps to choose from.

Could it be because I need the paid sqeditor?
