extended batteries (sorry for posting in this thread)

Hello, sorry for posting in this thread, let me know where would be better and i'll move it...

I'm just wondering if these extended batteries would work/not cause damage to our SC-02E's

Have you been running a logcat? It might tell you what is happening when su is applied.

Sounds like you're getting closer though.

Can you post the ramdisk folder?

all the batteries above will work I even have the 4250mah battery and it works great .you may need to clear the batt log status when it is fully charged go to the app store they have some free apps for that.Or if you have CWMR there is a clear battery stats option

Almost there

i will work on it tonight and I think the modded system file may be the way to go .The problem with the boot loop we had might be because there was no MD5 check sum so I am going to repack it and as a tar.md5 and see what happens.I have to wait till my phone charges up again.

Also for the people that rooted the phone with my method you can freeze what you want and use ROM Toolbox Lite

JRummy to get rid of ads via the adblocker in the tool box and manual removal if you swipe to the right .

Re-flash stock the recovery and boot your led flash ,vibrate and tv will work but the apps that you froze will still remain frozen.I know its a pain but its one way to do it .

Hard at work

Well me and Robobob1221 been going at it for 2 days with very little progress. We finally narrow the problem down to the boot.img

the good news is that for sure we know its in there the bad news is that we need someone with experience to get rid of the kill switch in the boot .Something in the boot is rewriting the permission thus killing SU .Trust me the problem is in the boot the binary count does not lie (56).Anyone who is willing to be a hero and kill this is more than welcome to join a chat room so we can disclose all the information about what we did

The only thing that is not working in our previous root is camera flash ,vibrate,and busy box

The camera flash and vibrate are located in the stock docomo boot.img thats why we need the boot disinfected.

Thank you!!!!!

To all and sorry for the slow root trust me we are working hard at it .Thanks Robobob1221 for spending 10 hours of digging with me on xmas . cheers

reboot loop

Hey guys, decided to do something stupid without knowing enough about what I was doing.

I installed SuperSU from the market and once granting it root access it tried to update the SU binary causing a reboot.

Now the phone boots but I don't have enough time to get into applications to try and disable it before it is granted superuser access and causes another reboot, so i'm kind of stuck in a reboot loop, any advice?

Are you using TWRP recovery?

If yes, then you can use the file manager to manually delete the Apk.

It should stop the reboot.

Is it too dangerous to use mskip's toolkit, in adb mode, flash the TWRP recovery while I have this problem?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I did the same thing, but was able to delete it. As soon as you phone boots up pull down notifications to go into settings and uninstall. You got about 15 seconds to do it before the reboot happens. Have you not made a nandroid backup? Do you not have a custom recovery installed, cwmr?

[MENTION=6315847]Greengas424[/MENTION]

Have you tried flashing a custom recovery to it and then using the file manager through that to extract the data you want? EDIT: just reread your previous post about ODIN and pit file problems. How did that happen, you know?

Alternatively did you have usb debugging enabled on your phone and check if you had adb access?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:
OPO should be here in 2 weeks I will update you then.

I don't know if there is a way to download the rom through adb mode.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
If adb isn't recognising the phone he won't be able to. Also you can't fastboot (Samsung doesn't use it) anything or use odin if usb debugging wasn't enabled, I think.

Yeah, perhaps you like others had some sort of hardware failure. It doesn't seem like software failure as odin should be able to fix that issue. I guess I've been fortunate with mine. Strange how a lot of those who seem to have gotten these failures had their phone unlocked by docomo for use overseas. At least it seems that way.

Have you tried booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset? I guess this defeats the object or recovering your data, but it may get your phone booting.

If you can get your hands on a Nexus 5 or OPO, or even a Nexus 6, I'd go that route.

Removing carrier software after root

Hey all, thanks for your hard work! I hope to make use of it soon.

I have an SC-02E (Docomo) that is no longer on a plan, so I'd like to remove as much unnecessary software as possible. I plan to use the device on wireless only, and hope to use the Play store.

Can anyone tell me if I should be looking to root and delete software one by one, or should I be looking for a ROM to overwrite the original?

thanks for any advice!

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

I realize now that my post was not entirely clear. I hope to remove all or most Docomo software. The ideal solution would be to install a non-branded ROM and have no Docomo from the getgo, but I have not found anything that seems to fit the bill yet. Am still searching.

TIA...

Help! Recovery ROM OK but no root

SC02E, Android 4.3. Recently canceled Docomo plan.

Successfully ran SkipSoft toolkit with International LTE chosen. I can access TWRP menu, but Root Check tells me I'm not rooted. (I also successfully loaded PhilZ, but gained no ground.)

Installed both SuperSU and Superuser by flashing the zip from both TWRP and Philz, but both say that binary is missing or needs to be updated. SuperSU fails at installing via the application, and although it will update once via Play store, the problem is not solved.

SkipSoft installs TWRP via Odin, but I have not used Odin for anything else... maybe need to do that?

Robobob, thanks for the pointer. I found your img and I think I'm ready to go. Total noob here, though, so I just wanted to get a sanity check if anyone would be so kind as to give me a thumbs up or down...

I have run a backup of my apps, don't need any data backed up. I have the file DCM-SC02EOMUBNJ2-20141020080805.tar.md5, from http://samsung-updates.com/details/35335/Galaxy_Note_2_Docomo/SC-02E/DCM/SC02EOMUBNJ2.html, which purports to be the original Docomo ROM, so I assume I can use that if I want to get back to its original state.

1. Wipe machine with a factory reset

2. Boot into download mode with vol down/home/power

3. Open the .tar for the modded ROM I want in the AP tab of Odin (auto reboot, F reset time only checked)

4. Install Gapps manager, install 4.3 Gapps

5. Install titanium backup etc.

By the way, what would be the difference between the rooted system image that Robobob posted, and the cm12 ROM?

THanks again! Almost done... I hope

I don't think you need to install gapps manager with the image I did, as that is stock rooted 4.3 for the docomo rom. So skip that if you use my rooted system.img. CM12 yes you'll need to as that won't have gapps installed

Easily the best rom for this phone.

Flash latest cm12 rom, flashing his latest kernel, install gapps then enable root from cm developer menu.

The state of stock roms have me thinking the carried put out crappy slow updates that you can't reverse in order to ruin your devices so you pay for an upgrade!
