I've read the page from 1 to 94. There have many useful thing for me. Thanks everyone.

Now i have a root problem.

I've already flash April 4.3 All in one root_TWRP, but there is no supersu there.

And then i tried flash SC02EOMUBND1_SC02EDCMBND1_SC02EOMUBND1_HOME.tar first and then flash SC02EOMUBND1-ROOTED-system.tar like the movie.

But there is still no supersu. I don't know why it happen...

However, thanks this topic help me downgrade and unlock sim perfectly.

Indeed, there is something less appealing about an android device that doesnt have all the root support that they have in 'Murka. It was always about having a better, more efficient experience than Apple.

Without that, Im leaning towards something that is watertight and takes quick/easy pictures. Ill then gut the Note 2 and continue using it with Ankidroid, as a PDA.

Remove bloatware

Hi guys, just want to say thanks so much for all the information on rooting the SC02E. I'm a noob to android and the whole rooting thing so it's been a real learning curve.

It's taken me so long to get everything working but finally done! From doing a SIM region unlock which was torture due to the Qualcomm driver problems I was having and also actually finding a decent way to root. Numerous times it didn't work into I finally found the TWRP version on this thread.

Anyway, aside from that I really want to de-brand and/or remove all the docomo bloatware from the phone. I've tried removing all the docomo and ntt apps using Titanium but they just seem to reappear again, I don't get it! Is there something I'm missing? I just want to make it a stock Note 2 without all the carrier bloat. It's out of warranty now and not my main phone so happy to try anything really.

Any advice would be greatly appreciate!! :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:
Delete stock apks

They re appear when you do a factory reset?

Check out this folder in the screen shot below. Use a folder Explorer make a backup on the apps just in case you use any of them. These apps are the ones that auto install when you do a factory reset. You can delete the ones in the folder and freeze the running items in TB a few pages back i posted a list for TB.

Do not freeze Docomo palette UI it will create a force close when you try to swap launchers in settings.

If you want to delete the running docomo apps freeze it first then delete it in TB

I need major help - am about to cry.

Status is as follows:

1. I was on latest update (which made me lose root)

2. I just left Japan and cancelled my Docomo sim

3. I tried to put in a German sim to my phone and it did not seem to work <-- I thought I had unlocked but perhaps I hadn't?

4. I flashed the stock rom back <-- the one on the useful links post.

5. Phone got stuck in an infinite loop (NTT DOCOMO --> XI --> Docomo Next Series --> Samsung --> NTT...)

6. I tried wiping the cache - but no luck, still same result

I am going to cry - it my mistake not to make a full backup of stuff, but I really need to recover my personal data.

Any help please?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiroPrinz8:
Hey guys, have a few questions.

I have the SC-02E, and currently running on stock JB 4.3, I think this is the latest official firmware from Samsung, I'd like to get this rooted so that I can start debloating, and utlimately, add xposed mods so that i can tweak the stock rom to my fancy. Questions:

1. Is the root process in the OP working for 4.3?

2. Has anyone tried using xposed modules on stock docomo roms?

thanks in advanced for any replies.

how to fix wifi and bluetooth problem on ntt docomo note 2 sc-02e

PLEASE HELP :( when i turn on wifi after a few seconds it turns off﻿
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiroPrinz8:
So I finally got around rooting 4.3, I was on NJ2 and apparently there was not a way at all to root this. So for anyone on the same boat, what I did was flash the all in one root and twrp tar file found on youtube by vipsavior. After flashing this you'll be downgraded to ND1, after which just update the binary of the SuperSU, update your busybox and you shiuld be good to go.

Good to note though for anyone interested in using Xposed modules, Xposed installer won't install normally, what you have to do is flash manually via twrp and it should work. Wanam xposed modules also works. Hope this helps someone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiroPrinz8:
Download the latest firmware from samfirmware.com and flash via odin. Should fix any software bugs. If it still doesn't then you have a hardware issue.

Kitkat 4.4 For SC-O2E

Brother, Is there any Rooted version 4.4 ROM available ?? Or any other Custom ROM for SC-O2E ?

I can't find any other ROM than yours one @ vipsavior . Appreciate your such effort to help us. Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Basically, no. 4.4 is buggy due to Samsung not releasing kernel source for the Docomo variants, as far as I know. Or else no one did a public build.

Also no custom roms based off of stock either. If rooted use xposed and modules.

Side question to all, is anyone using their SC-02e in Europe? I basically am in Germany, and get very poor signal.

Until recently my wife bought an Alcatel Pop C1 (very cheap stuff), but has amazing signal compared to me on the same carrier.

So I am wondering what can I do, is it an unlock limitation of the SC-02E, firmware/rom limitation, hardware difference or has my phone had it.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

Actually, anyone know how to turn off LTE mode? To just use 3G/GSM instead?

Docomo rom has LTE/3G/GSM (AUTO) or LTE/3G or GSM.

I would like a 3G/GSM forced mode...

One more question, April Root_TWRP_4.3JB All in one <-- this contains modem.bin, I am nervous, can I select the tar file over odin, or will it muck up IMEIs and that sort of thing?

By the way - what is the advantage of running TWRP?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:
Modem.bin is the original docomo modem as for the low signal it may be the phone band itself you can check here http://www.worldtimezone.com/4g.html to see what bands are missing .I know when i go to the states i only get edge or 3g on t-mobile.

Only interested in 3.5G UMTS / HSPDA. DOCOMO LTE band is too unique.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:
I agree i wish it could be the same across the board .My friend bought a s5 international unlock and it does not even pick up data on docomo or softbank
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NDR008:
That depends on if your friend tried Docomo FOMA or Docomo Xi.

Docomo FOMA will not work because it works on some IMEI system.

Only DOCOMO sold IMEI can log on for data transmission.

Docomo Xi uses a unqiue frequency so it is unlikely his S5 could work.

But many people have smartphones working on B-Mobile, etc.

However often the signal is weaker than a domestic model, because it cannot make use of all available frequencies or systems (WCDMA vs CDMA, etc). But I am not 100% clued up on all of this.

Has your friend enabled MoperaU for data. That's what I had to do for my Nexus 5. It won't pick up sp-mode lte, as that's imei specific. A little underhand by docomo, charging an extra ¥500 for your own phone

EDIT: Okay, I'm gonna try and use the make_root tool so that there will be a rooted system.img as there doesn't seem to be any other floating around. it'll be on the latest firmware image, BNJ2.

Rooted system.img

Okay, for those that wanted it here is the rooted system.img for the latest firmware:

SC02EOMUBNJ2-ROOTED-system.tar

Just flash via ODIN like usual.

So far I've tested and it works with Busybox Pro, Flashify, SimpleReboot, Solid Explorer (able to mount system R/W), and ViPER4Android.

I've used the latest TWRP for the International Note2 (t0lte),and it works fine.

Xposed works too, once you flash manually the binaries through twrp.

About Binary Count

Hi,

I want to know about binary count. My phone's current binary count is 25 . Is that matters or harmful ???? Binary count reset tar file got from the first page of this thread is not working .

Sharing a bad experience :

Installed one torch light application from playstore i.e. -//play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rvappstudios.flashlight . I saw 2-3 ppl commented that , Nice application but after using this application their phone gone off. Thats all. But when I installed that same application it was ok for the first time use, second time same happened to my phone and it goes off instantly after turning on the light. Tried to switch on but I thought it fall into boot loop. Docomo logo flashing then anfer 2 secong agin Dcomo logo flashing , same thing happening for 5-6 time and then the logo become still . No progress after changing the ROM also. At last I found that the battery has gone :crying: Tested with different battery its fine normally booting up. Even that faulty battery getting charge but not booting up .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Binary count as far as I know only matters if taking in for warranty check. It's a means for them to verify you haven't messed up the phone with continued flashing. You'll need to use a different kernel to reset I think, I've forgotten now.

As regards the other problem, did you back up your system or was it before flashing rooted image? Why didn't you use something like the tesla flash light? I can't really help you with that.

What I would do is flash TWRP, using the file manager in there to delete that app and trying to reboot. Or else doing a factory reset, and then booting into download mode and using odin to flash stock firmware

Japanese Note II (SC-02e) vs International Note 2/3 LTE

Robobob1221, and all you other wise folks that know and work with the Docomo SC-02E - I've read these posts with great interest, but have ultimately found that my phone is un-fixable after suffering the unresponsive frozen screen/white screen which will allow me to get into the download mode but will not go past the PIT file request in ODIN - I've done all the swaps, file shutdowns, driver installs, cable changes, etc that I can find - only to find the same thing that others have - the phone does not respond to any of it. I believe there is a hardware fault in the phone, or else docomo tried to push something (it happened as soon as I landed in Japan) or there is something else - the phone is not rooted, never had anything done to it, other than a Docomo-Store SP unlock which I paid for.

I have no confidence in these Docomo phones now. I'm seriously thinking of purchasing an unlocked International Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and using it here in Japan with my Docomo Sim. I do not need ANY of the Japanese apps, nor any of the Docomo apps - I use all non-Japanese stuff, but I do need to be able to connect to the network. Will an international LTE version Note 3 work here in Japan?

Last, does ANYONE know why these SC-02E phones crap out like this? I KNOW I'm not the first that this has happened to, but nobody so far that I've read as having this problem have reported that they were able to fix it. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has and how they went about flashing it so the data can be salvaged.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipsavior:
I had plenty of problems with this phone this is my 3rd note2 I used the insurance every time.I will not be getting another phone from docomo I am also going the unlock phone route the problems i had where wifi toggle on then off no matter what i did after that it was gps, and then random resets on stock firmware .Whats funny after i rooted and froze the docomo stuff the phone stopped the random resets .By far docomo puts more junk on the phone than any carrier i know that's including the states. Its been a ruff ride with this phone .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Sorry, I can't help you there. While I've had my own issues with the phone, I've never had as bad an experience as others in here, or they've magically gone away. For example I had a period when Wi-Fi and Bluetooth refused to turn on, then suddenly a few days later back to normal. Dunno how or why?

Yeah, it's kinda difficult to say whether the int'l one will work, as vip said his friends s5 didn't. The Nexus 5 does, and I'd suppose the 6 too.

I was thinking of getting the OPO, as I'd seen the 64GB version for about ¥44,000, available to ship to Japan and cheapest I'd seen, outside of Swappa.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greengas424:
OPO?

Thanks for the response. I've compared the SC02E's freq bands with Docomo's advertised freqs, then looked at the international versions of the Galaxy Note 2/3 - there's some matches, but not in the LTE/4G region. Looks like the 3G side will work, but speed will suffer.

Your comment about OPO lead me to look at it - would you trust a Chinese phone? I guess I'd be willing to try, as I don't have any confidence in Samsung any more. I'd actually never heard of them - will they work here in Japan and be able to share the Docomo connection?

Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Vipsavior, thanks for the response. I agree with you. I have the insurance, but it won't buy the data that I've lost, nor the confidence in the phone that I need to have so I can rely on it. You seem to have had more problems than I - but this is a big one and I'm resigned to the fact that I have to return to the Docomo shop and deal with their robots who are more concerned that my account doesn't have a land line listed on it than they are in fixing my phone, only to have them tell me that they have no idea what is wrong with it, that it must be returned to the factory to be repaired, and that my data will be nuked and I'll never see it again. All the crap you have to go through to root the docomo phones isn't worth it either. So, the question is - what unlocked phone do we buy that works well here that isn't from here? Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I don't have an invite, but I did find them available here.

https://m.fasttech.com/p/2023601

As regards do I trust them, I've seen good reviews and similarly not so good ones for this phone. The screen hue was the biggest issue, which is apparently fixable. Then there's ColorOS which comes on this one I think, however there is CyanogenMod which can be easily flashed into this device, and is meant to have great battery life with the last update and is stable.

You can see the available bands in the specification on the website, let us know if they match up.
