Docomo modified the rom heavily I tried different version of roms U.S ,Omega etc they work but something's just don't ,flash light, mms, wifi etc. Docomo is so bad at it I decided just to order my phones unlock and just use the network.

Anyone still have the ROMs posted by ma34s? Links all dead now. They were the fastest/most stable for SC-02E.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
Vipsavior and Robobob1221, thanks very much for your progress so far. I've just started my New Year vacation from work and it's great to see such progress. I assume you are also liaising with the developers with some of the final points you mention? I'll add everything to my Galaxy Note 2 Community Links page, especially when the bugs are finally ironed out and more stuff is working.

(I for one hope to have camera flash, adfree, vibrate, and maybe even NFC working in the future. Not too fussed about Mobile TV/1 seg.)

When you do get it fully working from start to finish with a set of instructions, I'll be sure to link to all of your advice and videos and give you guys the credit your deserve!

Much appreciation, and enjoy the New Year's holiday if that's your thing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
Thanks a lot guys, I did manage to be fast enough to get it uninstalled and back to normal as far as I can tell. But no, I have not made a nandroid backup, pretty dumb of me so I will be doing that soon, and I have also not flashed a custom recovery was waiting for a complete root but having a file browser in recovery would be a great benefit so I may try CWMR and TWRP.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
If you've done the insecure boot.img, then your device is already modified so you may as well flash a custom recovery for now!

twrp is a lot more feature full.

On another note I finally got my cooked rom to load up (rooted and busybox) :cyclops: Unfortunately, whatever is in the boot.img/system is still deleting the su and busybox binaries either before or on boot :(

I'm gonna go about debloating it first to see if this impacts anything on it, but I'm still thinking that it could be the zimage, which is a whole host of other problems.

Any of you out there who have experience with linux (ubuntu or whichever) and its tools that would be able to unpack the zimage?? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
Just spit-balling here but, would it make any sense to compare an International 7105's boot.img to ours?

to try to weed out the BS docomo wrote in.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
Jordan knows Linux very well. He is an XDA TV presenter too.

And he's played with the Galaxy Note 2 (as per the above link).

He was the first Linux person to come to mind.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I compared the ramdisks and there doesn't seem to be anything much different between ours and the 7105, I haven't looked at other init.carrier.rc. however.

Thats what I was hoping for someone with a linux partition would be able to run this zimage script so that our zimage could be unpacked, and we could look for any scripts or commands in there. I'm currently trying but running into some difficulties, the spanner that I am.:eek:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
I will install Ubuntu in a virtual machine now and try to unpack our zImage with that script, granted I don't know what to look for but at least I'll check it out.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
If you get it unpacked can you share the unpacked image?:good::good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
Of coarse, after all I don't know what to look for.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
SC-02E Ramdisk image.

I have the unpack ramdisk image if anyone is interested.

There are some lines that I am concern of inside init.carrier.rc

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wonder if it will do any good to delete this line and repack it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Me and vip tried that already, no dice!

But I'm gonna go back and try it again, and remove some lib files and apk and see if that does anything. I'm hoping that it will be that easy.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
I notice the lib files are modified on the 21st of November. Phone was released on the 16th of November. If I can help, I'm pretty interested now it's the holidays. (I'm trying to go to bed early and get up early, (New Year's resolution) so if you do anything after 9:30 - 10pm, I will endeavor to pick it up in the morning.)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
Sorry, but I just notice that my default.prop in boot.img with ro.secure=0 becomes ro.secure=1 after booting up.

The extra lines that I added still stick. Only ro.secure changes.

Normal?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
If you're on the Docomo boot.img then its most likely the reason that's happening.

Mine is still on zero with the boot.img from mskip's toolkit.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
Ok. Got it. My own boot.img is not right then.

Stock Rooted Rom - Partial Root

For anyone that wants to have a play with this. Its got superuser and busybox, but the boot seems to remove the binaries. Flash and vibrate don't work either.

Its had system and framework deodexed.

It can be opened up and looked at using dsixda's Android Kitchen for anyone interested or using an archive manager like 7zip.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Modded framework-res.apk

While this full root is trying to be figured out I thought I have a go at the multi-window hack, as I don't know if the unlimited apps hack works with our firmware.

Anyways here is my modded framework-res with the following apps added to multi-window:

Google - Play Store, Currents, G+/Messenger, Drive
Guardian News app
Pulse
Titanium Backup
Rom Toolbox (Pro+Free)
Line
Wikipedia
Poweramp
Soundhound (paid version)
Falcon Pro (twitter client)
Plume for Twitter (free version)
vlc player
tapatalk (regular+skyblue)
xplore file manager
dropbox

Here is a zip which can be flashed in a recovery (CWM or TWRP) - http://d-h.st/73n

http://d-h.st/5aZ - hacked multi-window Download

With the apk you can do this one of two ways.

1/ Place on your sd-card and move to system/framework using a file manager & set permissions 644/rw-r-r.

Reboot to recovery and clear cache and dalvik if needed.

2/ Using adb commands

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot recovery

clear cache.

reboot system

I think that you need to be running the insecure boot image from mskips toolkit to get this working. I haven't tried it with the docomo boot.img

let's ask chainfire

No dice so far. I tried everything I know ...

Dear chainfire, I am stuck in that DoCoMo boot.img and run out of ideas. So, I'd appreciate any comments, anything that moves us ahead.

Btw: Happy new year to all of you!:good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Chainfire has already been asked and even he was a bit perplexed by our situation.

EDIT 1: Out of curiosity I've gone and looked at the Samsung Open Source Release Centre (SOSRC), and for the SC-02E there is only source available for ICS. There is an n7105_SEA_JB for which the opensource zip contains firmware info for felica. Would this be for our phone?

Edit 2: the deodexed rom can be themed/modded. Just did simple colour change of the battery in SystemUI.apk

Changed the battery to yellow.

Just added the extended reboot options to android.policy.jar as well. Recovery option works, but selecting Download does a hot restart, and hangs at Samsung logo

[YOUTUBE]Ra6w7glEJ14[/YOUTUBE]

If anybody wants these they are easy to do, or if you want mine let me know in this thread or via pm

Edit 3: For those root apps which aren't working, such as ad block, you can try to do the following.

Pull from data/app to your pc. Open the apk with 7zip or something similar. Inside there may be a lib folder. If so extract the .so files from it. These will then need to be pushed or moved to system/lib directory. Add permissions 644. Boot to recovery clear cache and dalvik and reboot. There is a possibility it should work. Not 100% certain

Just been down the Docomo shop today as it's time for an upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus.

I'm itching to get my hands on this phone, but not unless it can be properly rooted.

Really hope you guys can pull this off, it really would be a happy new year!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
It's a beautiful phone. No FM Radio though.

To be honest guys, I'm taking a back seat now, if you hadn't already noticed. I do want root, but I'm worried about screwing things up so much so that the phone won't function properly. I know we've already crossed the line with modified status and double digit flash counts, but I need the device for work life, and a visa assessment coming up soon.

I'll be sure to document and link to any progress once it's established by you or others, and I can do the same on my device. I'm also still holding two Galaxy Note 2 cases to give to whoever we think deserves them, once we get root.

The custom ROM development for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is rife! up-to-date-list

I look forward to flashing / trying a ton of them in good time, just like with previous devices.

Happy New Year of course, and your perseverance is much respected and appreciated, if not fully followed through by me at the moment.

Cheers. :good:

I know people have mentioned flashing other N7105 roms onto the SC-2E but has anyone actually done it successfully?

I switched back to Docomo recently and picked up a SC-2E on one of the 2 year "0 yen" deals. I prefer my GSIII for everyday carry so I figured I would root the Note 2 and let my girlfriend use it to replace my old 7 inch tab which she current uses. As it is only going to be used via wifi I figured I would flash another N7105 rom and then root it so I could transfer the data over from the Tab.

However every attempt I have made to flash it so far has failed. The system file seems to flash ok but Odin keeps failing every time it reaches the modem.bin. I assume this is because of the different radio docomo is using for their phones, but I've flashed international roms onto Japanese phones before without encountering this issue. I wonder if fixing this would be as simple as just flashing the radio from the SC-2E or a SC-06D?

I guess most people want to keep their LTE/Foma Plus access so I doubt anyone else has tried flashing an international rom yet. Still I'd be interested to hear if anyone has done so successfully and what they did.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
You could try taking the modem from the Japanese stock tar and placing that in the tar you're trying to flash. Or if you flashed an insecure image you can flash a rom through recovery.

Only problem is any other kernel seems to break the flash and vibrate functions.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daiben:
Thank you for the reply. I tried flashing the modem.bin from the regular SC-02E rom but unfortunately had the same results. When I get more time I am going to flash it back to the stock rom and then try again from the beginning.

I wonder why this model is causing so much trouble when the previous Samsung models Docomo released, including the SC-06D, seemed to be rooted much more easily. Could it be possible that Docomo themselves have done some modifications to make rooting more difficult? If the SIII alpha is having the same issues then that might be an indicator that Docomo is doing something with their latest releases.

Trying to get a shot of that pretty bird but your shutter sound scares it away. Well just go to the root folder /system /media/audio /ui and change the camera sounds to. Bak. Example : shutter.Ogg.Bak

You can do this for all the camera sounds.

Just be careful this may be illegal in some countries so dont call me to bail you out because your using the camera in a nasty way. Enjoy

Flash counter triangle app works for the SC02E

I just jumped in and gave it a shot I was feeling ballze today .I bought the triangle away app and ran it using the Kernel posted above Note2Core_7105_v2.21_AS with SUPERSU .99 and disable antivirus programs running on the phone .launched the app hit reset bam went from 55 counts to 0 .the count will go back up to 1 if your using a insecure root but hey it works.

To get it to stay to zero just unroot SU go straight to download mode and flash the stock boot.tar and there you have it 0 count

Well looks like we got some good news.

After a lot of looking around and a fair amount of trial and error by me and VIP it looks like we have a fully working Rooted stock kernel!! :victory::victory::victory: Even got SuperSU working, busybox binary installed, and other root apps appear to be working. Flash and vibrate also working.

We got onto something with g.lewarne Note2Core kernel. So I decided to unpack the boot.img and snoop around. I then decided what the hell, and replaced the zimage of his with our and re-packed it. Flashed in recovery and bam! :highfive:

For now we'll test a bit longer and I think VIP said he will post an updated video of the rooting process.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Have you tried using a file manager to move the apks from data/app/ to system/app? Rom Toolbox or ES File Manager? I like Xplore.

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik cache in recovery?

SuperSU and JRummy's busybox installer worked.

I have never tried moving the app using ES, It's not so important I'd rather wait for titanium backup to be able to do it.

I also just cleared cache and dalvik cache and tried again with TB and hot rebooted again.

either way awesome work guys we are at 99% root!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
The repacked kernel is the same as the .tar you flashed for now.

I figured out the titanium backup problem.

Press menu and select preferences and scroll down to Troubleshooting settings right at the bottom. In here check the box to Force system busybox, and back out of the menu. You can now convert data/apps to system/apps

I said before it didn't work

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
Wow feel like an ass for not looking through options or researching better, thanks for taking your time. That worked...

Just wondering why it will only show apps that have backups to them?

To be clear before I check that option I have about 500 apps, and after TB reloads, after checking 'force system busybox' the apps list only shows the 26 apps I made backups for so far.

I know this because I didnt have a backup of 'widgetsoid' and had to make one for it to show up in the list
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I think it's to do with the placement of busybox and our kernel. The way I did the boot.img is a dirty fix to be honest.

Hey guys just want to say again absolutely great work all the ways around!

I just got in my higher capacity battery today (picture attached) and popped it in without looking and thought it wasn't working because the battery charging image couldn't refresh and it wouldn't power on or even go into recovery. So I took it out and looked at it and it has 3 pins at the top instead of 4.
